问题 What is the characteristic of learners of special English?
There are three groups of English learners: beginners, intermediate learners, and learners of special English. Beginners need to learn the basics of English. Students who have reached an intermediate level benefit from learning general English skills. But what about students who want to learn specialist English for their work or professional life? Most students, who fit into this third group have a clear idea about what they want to learn. A bank clerk, for example, wants to use this specialist vocabulary and technical terms of finance.But for teachers, deciding how to teach specialist English is not always so easy. For a start, the va riety is enormous. Every field from air-line pilots to secretaries has its own vocabulary and technical terms. Teachers also need to have an up-to-date knowledge of that specialist language, and not many teachers are exposed to working environments outside the classroom. These issues have influenced the way specialist English is taught in schools. This type of course is usually known as English for Specific Purposes or ESP and there are ESP courses for almost every area of professional and working life. In Britain, for example, there are courses which teach English for doctors, lawyers, reporters, travel agents and people working in the hotel in dustry.By far, the most popular ESP courses are for business English.

选项 A、They want to change me way English is taught.
B、They learn English to find well-paid jobs.
C、They want to have an up-to-date knowledge of English.
D、They know clearly what they want to learn.

答案 D

解析 细节题。短文提到能够达到专业英语级别学习者的学生大多很清楚自己想学些什么东西,这与第一二级别的英语学习者不同,因为初学者学基础英语,中级水平的学习会得益于一般的英语技能。故选D。
