小题1:C
小题2:A
小题3:A
小题1:本题考查概括文章主旨大意的能力。第一段所列出的调查结果是为了引出要讨论的话题。第二段 “To use the same method would be self-defeating because it might reduce motivation, especially if it has failed in the past. Therefore a different method may help because it is different.”和第三段第一句 “Variety of activity was also seen as a way of maintaining(保持) or increasing motivation.”可判断C项正确。
小题2:本题考查理解细节信息的能力。根据第一段第四句“Writing increased as a problem as students discovered difficulties in writing papers that they were now expected to hand in.”可知A项正确。
小题3:本题考查根据文章细节信息进行推理判断的能力。结合第二段最后两句 “Nearly all the students have experienced some kind of grammar-based English teaching in their own country. To use the same method would be self-defeating because it might reduce motivation, especially if it has failed in t
he past. Therefore a different method may help because it is different.”和第三段第一句 “Variety of activity was also seen as a way of maintaining(保持) or increasing motivation”.可以推断出A项正确。D项的干扰性最大,第二段提到不宜采用语法教学法，第三段则说一成不变的时间表让师生感到厌烦，由此可知是教学方式而不是“内容”需要更新，因此可以排除D项。
