Dating from The Book of Songs3,000years ago to present time, China has its outstanding poets and their masterpieces whose contribution have greatly impact on our magnificent culture. And that is why poems have covered a lot in the Chinese Course Books and have been an inseparable part in the test paper. According to the aim of teaching program, the participants should maintain a certain background knowledge of the selected verses, the rhyme and rhythm as well as the flavor. However, it is extremely hard for them to achieve these goals without proper method and skills. As a matter of fact, the College Entrance Examination focusing on high marks which goes against the origin makes students unwilling to put their noses into poems. As to our full-time Chinese teachers, we have to multiply the input of poems and ask the students to recite to get high marks with ignoring its framework and atmosphere it provided. In a word, quantities speak louder than quality in real life, while quality determines the quantity in return.Faced with this dilemma, I put my concern about it and make analysis and some practical measures to modify it as follows:The first part:chart the scores and what styles are favored in the College Entrance Exams.The second part:present situation display through the examination questions in recent ten years and demonstrate the development and possible tendency forward.The third part:present class teaching and its side-effects in poetry comprehension.The fourth part:strategies to cultivate the students’ability to analyze and solve concrete problems independently in the limited40class, to help develop the ability to think things out, to give scope to the students; initiative and creativeness.
