2009年公共英语三级考试试题
我国古代的读书人,从上学之日起,就日诵不辍,一般在几年内就能识记几千个汉字,熟记几百篇文章,写出的诗文也是字斟句酌,琅琅上口,成为满腹经纶的文人。
为什么在现代化教学的今天,我们念了十几年书的高中毕业生甚至大学生,竟提起作文就头疼,写不出像样的文章呢?
吕叔湘先生早在1978年就尖锐地提出:
“中小学语文教学效果差,中学语文毕业生语文水平低,……十几年上课总时数是9160课时,语文是2749课时,恰好是30%,十年的时间,二千七百多课时,用来学本国语文,却是大多数不过关,岂非咄咄怪事!
”寻根究底,其主要原因就是腹中无物。
特别是写议论文,初中水平以上的学生都知道议论文的“三要素”是论点、论据、论证,也通晓议论文的基本结构:
提出问题――分析问题――解决问题,但真正动起笔来就犯难了。
知道“是这样”,就是讲不出“为什么”。
根本原因还是无“米”下“锅”。
于是便翻开作文集锦之类的书大段抄起来,抄人家的名言警句,抄人家的事例,不参考作文书就很难写出像样的文章。
所以,词汇贫乏、内容空洞、千篇一律便成了中学生作文的通病。
要解决这个问题,不能单在布局谋篇等写作技方面下功夫,必须认识到“死记硬背”的重要性,让学生积累足够的“米”。

唐宋或更早之前，针对“经学”“律学”“算学”和“书学”各科目，其相应传授者称为“博士”，这与当今“博士”含义已经相去甚远。
而对那些特别讲授“武事”或讲解“经籍”者，又称“讲师”。
“教授”和“助教”均原为学官称谓。
前者始于宋，乃“宗学”“律学”“医学”“武学”等科目的讲授者；而后者则于西晋武帝时代即已设立了，主要协助国子、博士培养生徒。
“助教”在古代不仅要作入流的学问，其教书育人的职责也十分明晰。
唐代国子学、太学等所设之“助教”一席，也是当朝打眼的学官。
至明清两代，只设国子监（国子学）一科的“助教”，其身价不谓显赫，也称得上朝廷要员。
至此，无论是“博士”“讲师”，还是“教授”“助教”，其今日教师应具有的基本概念都具有了。

与当今“教师”一称最接近的“老师”概念，最早也要追溯至宋元时期。
金代元好问《示侄孙伯安》诗云：
“伯安入小学，颖悟非凡貌，属句有夙性，说字惊老师。
”于是看，宋元时期小学教师被称为“老师”有案可稽。
清代称主考官也为“老师”，而一般学堂里的先生则称为“教师”或“教习”。
可见，“教师”一说是比较晚的事了。
如今体会，“教师”的含义比之“老师”一说，具有资历和学识程度上较低一些的差别。
辛亥革命后，教师与其他官员一样依法令任命，故又称“教师”为“教员”。
