Education will be truly effective only when it is specifically designed to meet the individual needs and interests of each student. Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations
shape your position.

只有針對(duì)每個(gè)學(xué)生的需要和興趣,教育才真正有效。
提綱分析
Position: There is no doubt that education should pay more attention on the needs
and interests of students, but it is impossible for education to satisfy each
individual.
1、 從教育的目的上討論,興趣對(duì)教育的重要性;
對(duì)個(gè)人,愛(ài)因斯坦有句至理名言:“ 興趣是最好的老師”;對(duì)社會(huì),教育的目的就是為社會(huì)培養(yǎng)各種人才,如果不注重學(xué)生興趣,那么他們到社會(huì)不可能盡其所能。有時(shí)候可能埋沒(méi)人才。比如一味的強(qiáng)調(diào)分?jǐn)?shù),那么對(duì)發(fā)明有興趣的學(xué)生可能會(huì)失去動(dòng)力,e.g.哥白尼以前學(xué)醫(yī),愛(ài)因斯坦小時(shí)候?qū)W習(xí)并不好,牛頓因?yàn)橐粋€(gè)蘋(píng)果而想到萬(wàn)有引力等等。
2、 學(xué)校須努力發(fā)現(xiàn)并培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的興趣。
因?yàn)橛行W(xué)生沒(méi)有意識(shí)到自己的興趣,所以學(xué)校要在這方面作引導(dǎo)。 E.g.學(xué)校可以通過(guò)開(kāi)設(shè)多種選修課,豐富學(xué)生課余生活并組織各類(lèi)社團(tuán)活動(dòng),增加各類(lèi)獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金等方法來(lái)鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生培
養(yǎng)自己的興趣。
3、 但是,鼓勵(lì)興趣的培養(yǎng)不等于學(xué)校就要根據(jù)每個(gè)學(xué)生的興趣來(lái)進(jìn)行教育,這既無(wú)意義也不現(xiàn)實(shí)。一方面老師是有限的,而學(xué)生的興趣是各種各樣的;另一方面,年輕的學(xué)生并沒(méi)有足夠的判斷力來(lái)決定自己該學(xué)什么,比如數(shù)學(xué),有些學(xué)生不喜歡學(xué),但是能直接完全放棄嗎?過(guò)分強(qiáng)調(diào)學(xué)生興趣勢(shì)必會(huì)造成教學(xué)的紊亂,而且學(xué)生的興趣不同階段可能發(fā)生改變。
4、總結(jié):是要重視興趣對(duì)教育發(fā)揮作用的重要性,但也不可以一味以學(xué)生個(gè)人愛(ài)好為轉(zhuǎn)移。
Argument
The following appeared in a magazine article about planning for retirement."Clearview should be a top choice for anyone seeking a place to retire, because it has spectacular natural beauty and a consistent climate. Another advantage is that
housing costs in Clearview have fallen significantly during the past year, and taxes remain lower than those in neighboring towns. Moreover, Clearview's mayor promises many new programs to improve schools, streets, and public services. And best of all, retirees in Clearview can also expect excellent health care as they grow
older, since the number of physicians in the area is far greater than the national average."
Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate
the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.
題目翻譯
由于 Clearview 的天然景色和溫和氣候, 它應(yīng)該成為那些為退休后尋找生活地的人的首選。另一項(xiàng)好處是,Clearview 的房?jī)r(jià)在去年顯著下降,稅賦一直比鄰近城市低。而且,Clearview 的市長(zhǎng)承諾了很多新方案來(lái)改善學(xué)校、街道和公共服務(wù)。最好的一點(diǎn)是,Clearview 的退休人員也可以在老年時(shí)享受到出色的醫(yī)療服務(wù), 因?yàn)樵摰貐^(qū)的醫(yī)生數(shù)量高于全國(guó)平均水平。
提綱分析
1. Clearview 的房?jī)r(jià)下降和賦稅比鄰近城市低,并不能足以說(shuō)明該城市生活花銷(xiāo)少或宜居,且缺少具體數(shù)據(jù)比較等。
2. 雖然提及市長(zhǎng)的承諾,但只是說(shuō)要改善,并不明確了解新方案尤其是涉及公共服務(wù)等方面的具體舉措有什么,也不確定承諾何時(shí)成真,所以并無(wú)法吸引退休人員。
3. 并不能因?yàn)樵摰貐^(qū)醫(yī)生數(shù)量多,就直接得出醫(yī)療服務(wù)出色這個(gè)結(jié)論,人數(shù)和質(zhì)量并不能成正比。而且如 Clearview 原本人口就很多,那醫(yī)生數(shù)量高也是正常的,退休人員過(guò)去居住也并感受不到什么優(yōu)勢(shì)。
填空等價(jià)機(jī)經(jīng)

空白(i) 空白(ii) 空白(ii)
A 法規(guī) D.清楚的 G.能使自身永久存在的
B.常例 E.平靜的 H.自我丑化的
C.紊亂 F.混亂的 I.自給自足的
在空白(i)中要選擇“ 固定模式” 的同義詞,所以選擇 A。在空白(ii)中要說(shuō)一開(kāi)始是沒(méi)有通
道的,所以選擇 F。在空白(ii)中要說(shuō)通道會(huì)一直存在著,所以選擇 G

短篇閱讀
Few mathematical constructs seem as conceptually simple as that of randomness.
According to the traditional definition, a number is random if it is chosen purely as
the result of a probabilistic mechanism such as the roll of a fair die. Id their ground
breaking work regarding complexity and the limitations of formal systems,
mathematicians Gregory Chaitin and A.N. Kolmogorov force us to consider this last
claim more closely.
Consider two possible outcomes of throwing a fair die three times: first, 1, 6, and 2;
second 3, 3, and 3. Now let us construct two three-member sets based on the
results. Though the first set— {1,6,2}—intuitively seems more random than the
second—{3,3,3}, they are each as likely to occur, and thus according to the accepted
definition, must be considered equally random. This unwelcome result prompts
Chaitin and Kolmogorov to suggest the need for a new standard of randomness,
one that relies on the internal coherence of the set as opposed to its origin.
1. Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage as
whole?
A. A concept is introduced; a traditional definition is put forward; a thought
experiment is described; a new definition is proposed; the traditional definition is
amended as a result.
B. A concept is introduced; a traditional definition is supported by authorities; a
thought experiment is described; the implications of the experiment are discussed.
C. A concept is introduced; a traditional definition is considered and rejected; a
thought experiment is described; a new definition is proposed.
D. A concept is introduced; a traditional definition is called into question; a thought
experiment is described; the implications of the experiment are discussed.
E. A concept is introduced; authorities are called in to reevaluate a definition; a
thought experiment is described; the implications of the experiment are considered
and rejected.
答案:C
解析:根據(jù)文章主旨,文章首先介紹了隨機(jī)這個(gè)概念,對(duì)應(yīng)選項(xiàng) C
中:…concept…introduced…;然后再詳細(xì)展開(kāi),并且說(shuō)了這個(gè)定義的不足,對(duì)應(yīng)選項(xiàng) C
中:…traditional…considered and rejected;接著舉例介紹了擲骰子實(shí)驗(yàn),對(duì)應(yīng)選項(xiàng) C
中:…thought experiment…;最后說(shuō)要有基于內(nèi)在統(tǒng)一的新定義出現(xiàn)才可以:對(duì)應(yīng)選項(xiàng) C
中:…new definition…。
2. Consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.
Which of the following is an inference made in the passage above?
A. The results of the same probabilistic mechanism will each be as likely as the other
to occur.
B. According to the traditional definition of randomness, two numbers should be
considered equally random if they result from the same probabilistic mechanism.
C. Different probabilistic mechanisms are likely to result in similar outcomes.
答案:B
解析:注意這不是一道單選題,而是一道針對(duì)每個(gè)選項(xiàng)是否正確的選擇題。 A 選項(xiàng)不夠嚴(yán)謹(jǐn),
若是按照傳統(tǒng)定義則為正確,若是按照新定義則為錯(cuò)誤,所以不能選;B 選項(xiàng)符合傳統(tǒng)定義,
只要是從隨機(jī)機(jī)器里抽選出來(lái)的都是隨機(jī)的;C 選項(xiàng)錯(cuò)在 different…mechanisms,原文沒(méi)
有比較不同的隨機(jī)機(jī)器。
長(zhǎng)篇閱讀
Mary Barton, particularly in its early chapters, is a moving response to the suffering
of the industrial worker in the England of the 1840s. What is most impressive about
the book is the intense and painstaking effort made by the author, Elizabeth Gaskell,
to convey the experience of everyday life in working class homes. Her method is
partly documentary in nature: the novel includes such features as a carefully
annotate reproduction of dialect, the exact details of food prices in an account of a
tea party, an itemized description of the furniture of the Bartons’ living room, and
a transcription (again annotated) of the ballad “The Oldham Weaver”. The
interest of this record is considerable, even though the method has a slightly
distancing effect.
As a member of the middle class, Gaskell could hardly help approaching
working-class life as an outside observer and a reporter, and the reader of the novel
is always conscious of this fact. But there is genuine imaginative re-creation in her
accounts of the walk in Green Heys Fields, of tea at the Bartons’ house, and of
John Barton and his friend’s discovery of the starving family in the cellar in the
chapter “Poverty and Death.” Indeed, for a similarly convincing re-creation of
such families’ emotions and responses (which are more crucial than the material
details on which the mere reporter is apt to concentrate), the English novel had to
wait 60 years for the early writing of D. H. Lawrence. If Gaskell never quite conveys
the sense of full participation that would completely authenticate this aspect of
Mary Barton, she still brings to these scenes an intuitive recognition of feelings that
has its own sufficient conviction.
The chapter “Old Alice’s History” brilliantly dramatizes the situation of that early
generation of workers brought from the villages and the countryside to the urban
industrial centers. The account of Job Leigh, the weaver and naturalist who is
devoted to the study of biology, vividly embodies one kind of response to an urban
industrial environment: an affinity for living things that hardens, by its very contrast
with its environment, into a kind of crankiness. The early chapters—about factory
workers walking out in spring into Green Heys Fields, about Alice Wilson,
remembering in her cellar the twig-gathering for brooms in the native village that
she will never again see, about job Leigh, intent on his impaled insects—capture
the characteristic responses of a generation to the new and crushing experience of
industrialism. The other early chapters eloquently portray the development of the
instinctive cooperation with each other that was already becoming an important
tradition among workers.
1. It can be inferred from examples given in the last paragraph of the passage
that which of the following was part of “the new and crushing experience of
industrialism” for many members of the English working class in the
nineteenth century.
A. Extortionate food prices
B. Geographical displacement
C. Hazardous working conditions
D. Alienation from fellow workers
E. Dissolution of family ties
答案:C
解析:根據(jù)文章最后一段,織布工和自然主義者 Job Leigh 看到被刺穿的昆蟲(chóng)非常著急,
我們可以推測(cè)出織布工廠(chǎng)會(huì)造成傷害十分危險(xiǎn),對(duì)應(yīng)選項(xiàng) C 中:Hazardous working
conditions。
2. It can be inferred that the author of the passage believes that Mary Barton
might have been an even better novel if Gaskell
A. concentrated on the emotions of a single character
B. made no attempt to re-create experiences of which she had no firsthand
knowledge
C. made no attempt to reproduce working-class dialects
D. grown up in an industrial city
E. managed to transcend her position as an outsider
答案:E
解析:根據(jù)文章第二段最后一句,如果 Gaskell 可以在描述中加入足夠多的參與感,Mary
Barton 會(huì)顯得更加真實(shí)。再根據(jù)文章第二段第一句,我們知道作者 Gaskell 是中產(chǎn)階級(jí),
所以寫(xiě) Mary Barton 時(shí)總有局外人的感覺(jué)。結(jié)合起來(lái)我們知道,如果作者 Gaskell 可以超
越自己的身份地位,更有參與感地描述工人階級(jí),Mary Barton 會(huì)是一本更好的書(shū),對(duì)應(yīng)
選項(xiàng) E 中:…transcend…position…outsider。
3. Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude toward
Gaskell’s use of the method of documentary record in Mary Barton?
A. uncritical enthusiasm
B. Unresolved ambivalence
C. Qualified approval
D. Resigned acceptance
E. Mild irritation
答案:C
解析:根據(jù)文章第一段最后一句,這樣的描述好處是巨大的,雖然這種描述方法會(huì)讓讀者感
覺(jué)心理距離變遠(yuǎn)了。 “ 好處是巨大的” 對(duì)應(yīng)選項(xiàng) C 中:approval,“ 雖然這種描述方法會(huì)
讓讀者感覺(jué)心理距離變遠(yuǎn)了” 對(duì)應(yīng)選項(xiàng) C 中:Qualified。
4. Which of the following is most closely analogous to Job Leigh in Marry
Barton, as that character is described in the passage?
A. An entomologist who collected butterflies as a child
B. A small-town attorney whose hobby is nature photography
C. A young man who leaves his family’s dairy farm to start his own business
D. A city dweller who raises exotic plants on the roof of his apartment building
E. A union organizer who works in a textile mill under dangerous conditions
答案:E
解析:根據(jù)文章最后一段第二句話(huà),我們知道 Job Leigh 是織布工,也是專(zhuān)注于研究生物
學(xué)的自然主義者,工業(yè)化讓他變得對(duì)活著的東西從喜歡到偏執(zhí)。再根據(jù)文章最后一段第三句
話(huà),我們知道 Job Leigh 對(duì)被工業(yè)化害死的昆蟲(chóng)非常擔(dān)憂(yōu)。我們可以從他是織布工的職業(yè)
推測(cè)出他在紡織廠(chǎng)工作,對(duì)應(yīng)選項(xiàng) E 中:works in a textile mill,我們還可以從他總是看
到昆蟲(chóng)被工業(yè)化的機(jī)器所傷害,推測(cè)出他的工作環(huán)境很危險(xiǎn),對(duì)應(yīng)選項(xiàng) E 中:under
dangerous conditions。
邏輯閱讀
Anaerobic glycolysis is a process in which energy is produced, without oxygen,
through the breakdown of muscle glycogen into lactic acid and adenosine
triphosphate (ATP), the energy provider. The amount of energy that can be
produced anaerobically is a function of the amount of glycogen present—in all
vertebrates about 0.5 percent of their muscles’ wet weight. Thus the anaerobic
energy reserves of a vertebrate are proportional to the size of the animal. If, for
example, some predators had attacked a 100-ton dinosaur, normally torpid, the
dinosaur would have been able to generate almost instantaneously, via anaerobic
glycolysis, the energy of 3,000 humans at maximum oxidative metabolic energy
production.
The passage's suggestion that the total anaerobic energy reserves of a
vertebrate are proportional to the vertebrate's size is based on which of the
following assumption?
A. larger vertebrates conserve more energy than smaller vertebrates
B. larger vertebrates use less oxygen per unit weight than smaller vertebrates
C. the ability of a vertebrate to consume food is a function of its size
D. the amount of muscle tissue in a vertebrate is directly related to its size
E. the size of a vertebrate is proportional to the quantity of energy it can utilize
答案:E
解析:本文是關(guān)于無(wú)氧糖酵解產(chǎn)生能量的過(guò)程,且提出動(dòng)物體積越大,所產(chǎn)生的能量?jī)?chǔ)備也
就越多。以恐龍為例,說(shuō)明其遭遇攻擊所能產(chǎn)生的能量之巨大。題干中問(wèn)"the total
anaerobic energy reserves of a vertebrate are proportional to the vertebrate's size"
這一論點(diǎn)是根據(jù)哪一條假定推斷出來(lái)的,通讀選項(xiàng)不難得出 E。
