Passage Two

America put more people in prison in the 1990s than in any decade in its history. That started a debate over the wisdom of spending billions of dollars to keep nearly 2 million people locked up. According to statistics, the United States ends 1999 with 1983084 men and women in prisons. That shows an increase of nearly 840,000 prisoners during the 1990s and makes the United States the country with the highest prisoner population in the world. With the cost of housing a prisoner at about $20,000 a year the cost in 1999 for keeping all these prisoners behind bars is about $39 billion.

Some experts argue that the money is well spent, saying the cost of keeping prisoners behind bars doesn't seem much in comparison in the 1990s coincided with (与……相一致) a steady drop in the US crime rates. It is reported that serious crime has decreased for seven years in a row. "There are noticeable number of people who don't do crimes because they don't want to go to prison," they say.

A. America has put 2 million people in prison

B. the cost for housing a prisoner keeps rising

C. billions of dollars has been spent on prisoners

D. the prisoner population is the largest in the world

(1)哪一个片段属于准确性训练,哪一个片段属于流利性训练?(6分)
(2)你的判断依据是什么?(12分)
(3)准确性训练和流利性训练对语言学习而言各有何利弊?(12分)


答案:
解析:
(1)片段一属于流利性训练。片段二属于准确性训练。
(2)片段一属于流利性训练,因为语段中出现了语法错误,如How long did you stayed 明显不符合语法规范。但并没有及时纠正过来,可见其侧重的是对语言流利性的训练,而非语言精确性训练。
片段二属于准确性训练,因为语段中出现了语法错误,而教师立即引导学生纠正了错误,如S2:Yes,it is.Is the Lexus cheap than…T:Cheap…S2:Is the Lexus cheaper than the Chevy 由此可见此段侧重对语言准确性的训练,而弱化了流利性。
(3)①流利性训练
利:使学生英语口语流利,增强其自信心。
弊:经常出现不流利的英语,语法等常常出现错误,影响其英语写作的准确性。
②准确性训练
利:使学生在说英语时随时注意语法使用的正确性,使其在语言表达上精确恰当。
弊:因为太关注准确性,时常会纠正错误而导致口语不流利,因而导致学生因为常犯错误而自信心下降。
