Teaching Is "One of the Least Popular Jobs in the UK"
(1)The UK government has just published a report on the future of secondary-schoo! teaching(pupils aged 11-16), and the conclusion of the report is that many secondary schools now face great difficulties in finding people who want to be teachers. Since the 1980s, the numbers of graduates who say they would "seriously consider" teaching as a career has fallen sharply,from 64% in 1982 to just 17% today. The report suggests that urgent action needs to be taken in order to encourage more intelligent young graduates into teaching.
(2) The main drawback of secondary teaching, according to the report, is the low salary. Earnings in teaching are much lower than in many other jobs, and this means that fewer and fewer young people decide to be teachers. Joanne Manners, 24, is a good example: "" I graduated in maths last year, and I was thinking of doing a teacher-training course to become a maths teacher but when I looked into the details, it became clear that teaching isn't a very lucrative( 賺錢的 )job these days. I saw I could earn twice as much ifI worked in marketing or advertising, and so ! decided not to become a teacher."
(3) It's not just about the money, however. The survey concluded that another reason why people don't want to be teachers is that some teenagers behave very badly in school. A lot of schools have problems with discipline, and it seems clear that children do not have the same respect for teachers as in the past. Here's the view of Dave Hallam, and accountant from London: " I think parents are to blame. They should have stricter rules with their children at home and also teach their children to have more respect for teachers."
(4) "I love teaching; it's my passion. I've been a secondary-school teacher of Spanish for ten years now, and although it's a very demanding job, it's very satisfying. When I see my students passing their Spanish exams, or singing along to Spanish pop songs, it makes me feel so proud," says Brian Jones, who works in a secondary school in London. So what does he think the government should do to encourage more people to become teachers?" My view is that the government should reduce the burden of work on teachers. I find that I always have too much work to do."
(5)The reportis clear that the problem of teacher shortage is a very serious one. It says that the government should raise teachers' pay significantly, to catch up with workers in other professions. It also suggests that the government could launch a nationwide publicity campaign,with some advertisements on TV and in the newspapers, to show the positive sides of teaching to young people. Another solution could be to set a'maximum number of hours per week that teachers can work, in order to reduce stress on teachers. "Hopefully," the report concludes,"these solutions can improve the poor image of secondary teacher, and increase the number of young people who want to become teachers in the future."

答案與解析
23.E。題幹：第一段的主要內容是 __________ 。第一段的主題句是第一句，大意是說英國政府的一項報告指出，許多中學面臨著師資困難，故E(有關師資短缺的報告)是正確答案。
注意：段落大意一般是段落的'首句和尾句，少數情況下是在中問的句子，特別是中間的句子帶有yet，but，however等轉折關係的時候。
24.D。題幹：第二段的主要內容是__________。第二段首句是主題句，大意為“根據報告，中學教學的主要問題是工資低”，故D(低工資的問題)是正確答案。
25.A。題幹：第三段的主要內容是。第三段的主題句為第二句，“yet”之前討論的是師資不足不僅僅是錢的問題，“yet”之後討論人們不願做老師的另外一個原因就是有些學生行為惡劣，因而A(學生的不良行為和缺乏管束)是正確答案。帶有yet，but，however等轉折關係的句子往往是表達的重點所在。
26.C。題幹：第四段的主要內容是__________。第四段沒有主題句，以Brian Jones的例子來說明教師在看到學生通過考試時的滿足感，後半部分則是他希望政府能夠給老師減負，故C(教師工作負擔重)是正確答案。注意：如果段落之中沒有明顯的主題句，則需要根據大意或者高頻詞彙進行判斷。
27.F。題幹：越來越多的年輕人不願意從事教師的職業__________。利用題幹關鍵詞young people可以定位到第二段第二句，教師工資比很多其他職業的工資低得多，這意味著越來越少的年輕人決定做教師，所以答案為F(因為低工資)
28.E。題幹：家長被鼓勵要支援教師，當有__________的時候。利用題幹關鍵詞parents和back the teacher可以定位到第三段最後兩句句，Dave Hallam認為家長要為孩子在學校的不良行為負責，應該在家嚴格要求孩子，同時也要教會孩子尊重老師，對比幾個選項，可以發現選項E(紀律問題)比較符合語境。
29.C。題幹：政府應該給教師減負來減輕__________。利用題幹關鍵詞reduce the workload可以定位到第三段最後一句，可知Brian認為政府應該給教師減負，因為他發現他的工作量太多了，所答案為C(他們的壓力)。
30.A。題幹：政府應該通過宣傳__________來提升教師職業。利用題目順序和段落順序一致的原則以及題幹關鍵詞government，promotin9和advertising等可以定位到第五段的第三句，即政府也因發動全國性的宣傳運動，例如在電視和報紙做廣告等，來展示教授年輕人的積極意義。因此，該題答案選A(它的好處)。
