The latest bad but unsurprising news on education is that reading and writing scores on the SAT have once
again declined. The language competence of our high schoolers fell steeply in the 1970s and has never recovered.
This is very worrisome, because the best single measure of the overall quality of our primary and secondary
schools is the average verbal(语言的) score of 17-year-olds. This score correlates with the ability to learn new
things readily, to communicate with others and to secure a job. It also predicts future income.
The most credible analyses have shown that the chief causes are vast curricular changes, especially in the
critical early grades. In the decades before the Great Verbal Decline, a content-rich elementary school experience
evolved into a content-light, skills-based, test-centered approach. Cognitive psychologists agree that early
childhood language learning (ages 2 to 10) is critical to later verbal competence, not just because of the
remarkable linguistic plasticity of young minds, but also because of the so-called Matthew Effect.
The name comes from a passage in the Bible: “For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have
abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.” Those who are language-
poor in early childhood get relatively poorer, and fall further behind, while the verbally rich get richer.
The origin of this cruel truth lies in the nature of word learning. The more words you already know, the faster
you acquire new words. This sounds like an invitation to vocabulary study for babies, but that’s been tried and it’s
not effective. Most of the word meanings we know are acquired indirectly, by intuitively(凭直觉的) guessing new
meanings as we understand the main idea of what we are hearing or reading. The Matthew Effect in language can
be restated this way: “To those who understand the main idea shall be given new word meanings, but to those who
do not there shall follow boredom and frustration.”
Clearly the key is to make sure that from kindergarten on, every student, from the start, understands the main
idea of what is heard or read. If preschoolers and kindergartners are offered substantial and coherent lessons
concerning the human and natural worlds, then the results show up five years or so later in significantly improved
verbal scores. By staying on a subject long enough to make all young children familiar with it (say, two weeks or
so), the main idea becomes understood by all and word learning speeds up. This is especially important for low-
income children, who come to school with smaller vocabularies and rely on school to pass on the knowledge base
children from rich families take for granted.
Current reform strategies focus on testing, improving teacher quality, and other changes. Attention to these
structural issues has led to improvements in the best public schools. But it is not enough.
24．The drop in verbal scores on the SAT is worrisome because ________.
A．it will lead to a short supply of talents in the labor market
B．it reveals young people’s negative attitude towards verbal study
C．it shows the schools’ inability to meet the national requirements
D．students’ reading and writing ability affects their future development
