11、ricular and select course materials for freshmen that are neither below nor above their level of educational experience， 如果学生素质差别太大，很难找到一个合适的起点。 Q 保证教材的质量全国同一的教材可以请专家来编写，教材质量有保障，而一些地方可能没有条件来编教材 3 然而，同一课程 pose certain amount of detrimental effects. A）同一国家不同民族和地区的文化、信仰可能不同，若完全同一课程会破坏这些习俗和传统。比如一个民族需要学习
12、自己的语言和文化，就应该开设这样的课程。 B）各个地区的经济 水平不同，很难采取同一的课程。经济较发达地区可以开设一些好的课程，比如游泳、计算机，但一些落后地区可能无法开展这些课程。所以采用完全同一的课程是不现实的。 4 因此，正确的对待国家教材的态度应当是，一方面，国家教材应当专注于基本道德观念和原理的灌输，设置一些同一的基础课程；而另一方面，各地区应该根据自身的需要和条件设置一些特殊的课程，以满足当地学生的需要。 30 Teachers salaries should be based on their students academic performance. 教师的薪水应该基于学生的
13、学业成绩。 83 Teachers salaries should be based on the academic performance of their students. 教师的薪水应该基于学生的学业成绩。 Disagree: Students academic performance is mostly dependent on their own efforts and intellectual perception in the subjects.

Without a constructive family and community environment, it would be almost impossible for school education to fulfill its noble mission. 教育之合作 观点 ： 承认教育
26、仅 依 靠老师是不够的 ， parents and communities 也应该参与到教育中来。但是一定要适度，否则反而会影响教育。 1. 必须承认， parents and communities 对于教育起着至关重要的作用 。首先（ parents are the first and best educators for their childrens growth. They have a great influence on the childrens character and mentality and become the model of their children），作为
27、父母， 他们是孩子的第一任老师 ，自己的言行举止都会影响到孩子，成为孩子的榜样 。 而且 家长们要比学者更了解他们的孩子，比如性格特点等，让家长参与到教学中来能够帮助教育工作者了解这些孩子各自不同的特点，并采取不同的教学方法。 而且， 孩子有大段时间是不在学校的 。若 家长 利用这些时间 带孩子外出旅游 ，或 增加他们与大自然的接触， 就可以 broaden their horizon。若父母不参与到教育中，不在学校的时间孩子可能玩电游，或在 一起看暴力片 violence、或打架斗殴。 2. 其次，对于 communities， 可以为孩子的成长提供良好的环境 Sociability is
28、a crucial factor for ones future development and success。 With the communities participation, local schools will do better in instructing children, especially in the respect of moral instruction. 科学家指出：在良好的社区环境中成长的孩子，干净的社区环境、和谐的社区气氛对孩子成长十分有益。 而且 学校的一些活动、如历史教育需要参观历史博物馆 history museum 等等 ，这都需要社区的配合。 3
29、. 但是，毫无疑问让家长和社区参与到学校中来也会造成一些问题。首先，家长们总是更乐于从有利于自己的孩子的角度出发，没有大局观，反而有时会误导自己的孩子。而有些父母对于自己生活中的某种遗憾会变成对孩子的期望，不能真正让孩子学习自己感兴趣的东西；其次，家长和社区都缺乏专业的培训，难以了解专业教学法的作用 ，有时候甚至阻碍方法的实施。 4. 而专业的老师，受过教育心理学，相关的学习与培训，更容易引导学生进行有效的学习。比如培 养学生兴趣；知道对于哪些类型的学生应采取什么样的教学方式，如 耐心的 指导孤立 且 表现不好的学生 ，而不是一味的催促他们学习 。 142 Claim: Colleges an

31、大众一样，大学生更喜欢按部就班，不喜欢自己做决定。 1. As for the speakers threshold claim, I concede that under certain circumstances people prefer to take direction from others. 2. When it comes to particular tasks in which college professors are more experienced and knowledgeable, following their directions is to be prefe

33、通人有时是随流的。 A 当他们自己不了解时，可能得大多数人的决定应该是对的。 B 即使自己不是这样想，从心理学上说，跟大家保持一致使他们感到安全。 2 大学生有时可能确实缺乏自己做出决定的能力，需要教授的指导。如：理工科的学生在做实验时；社会学科的学生在选择课程时避免走弯路；艺术的学生在学习基本的 principle时。 3 大学生应该自己作出决定。 A 他们已经接受了一定的教育，有了一定的知识基础，能够初步的认识问题。 B 学生自己毕竟是最了解自己的人，知道自己缺乏什么。反面说：若缺乏自由选择权，学生可 能会积极性下降等。 4 即使他们不能自己作决定，教授们应帮助他们独立作决定，而不是持续的

40、考 老题库 210. “Most people choose a career on the basis of such pragmatic considerations as the needs of the economy, the relative ease of finding a job, and the salary they can expect to make. Hardly anyone is free to choose a career based on his or her natural talents or interest in a particular kind
41、 of work.“ 大多数人选择职业是基于很实际的考虑：经济需求、找工作简单、高薪水。很难得有人能从自己的潜质和兴趣出发去自由的寻找一份特定的工作。 Although practical considerations often play a significant role in occupational trends, ultimately the driving forces behind peoples career decisions are individual interest and ability. 1. first glance the balance of empiri
42、cal evidence would seem to lend considerable credence to the speakers claim 2 However, upon further reflection it becomes clear that the relationship between career seekers and the supply of careers is an interdependent one, and therefore it is unfair to generalize about which one drives the other.
43、3. Another compelling argument against the speakers claim has to do with the myriad of ways in which people earn their living. Begin： 确实很多人现在选择职业都是考虑现实的因素，但是我们要清楚很多人其实在选择职业的时候并不清楚自己的兴趣，或者根本没有让他选择职业的机会。 1 现实的因素很大程度上决定了人们的职业选择。因为现在这个社会普遍比较重视物质财富，而一个有责任的人必须有一份工作来维持生存，并给自己的家庭一定的支持，房子贷款，车子保险，教育，医疗这个都需要钱，
44、所以我们理解大部分人们总是把薪水作为选择自己职 业的主要因素。 2 但是更多的情况的是，人们没有选择工作的机会。因为每年人才市场上总是职业远远少于应聘的人数，除了每年大批的大学毕业生，还有很多因各种原因失业的人，也会参与工作竞争，而那些高薪的工作更是人们主要的争夺对象，不排除少数特别优秀的人，可以同时有几份 offer，但是大多数普通的人只有一份工作，甚至还没有，通常这种情况，人们没有选择工作的机会，只能等着雇主选中自己。 3 但是我们应该看到这样一个事实： 根据自己的兴趣选择有利于激发热情，使人在工作中更积极， 从而更容易成功。 Bill Gates； NBA 好多 superstar 都是
45、从高中直接进入 NBA 的，如 Kobe Bryant，他刚加入球队时，工资很低，第一个赛季出场机会都很少，但篮球是他的兴趣，经过努力，他最终成功了。 4 所以我们应该培养自己多方面的兴趣。作为学生的我们，应该 把每一科都学好，提高自己的能力，这样就会在求职中找到最满意的工作了，既能满足你的生活需要，又是你所喜欢或者擅长的。 End: From what we discussed above, we should understand the situation as the speaker asserted. Meanwhile, 我们应该培养自己多方面的兴趣，以适应这个充满竞争的社会。从而
46、使找到的工作既符合pragmatic considerations，又符合我们的兴趣。 .可供参考 老题库 90. “College students should be encouraged to pursue subjects that interest them rather than seek programs that promise entry into the job market.“ 大学学生应该 被鼓励去学习他们感兴趣的学科而不是那些容易找工作的学科。 Agree 1. Todays parents attach too much importance to the job
47、prospects of their childrens education. 2. However, empirical evidence suggests that young people are more likely to succeed in a career that interests them. 现实和理想之兴趣 观点 ：兴趣重要，但工作也不能忽略 1 从教育的目的上讨论，兴趣对教育的重要性； 对个人，爱因斯坦有句至理名言： “兴趣是最好的老师 ”；对社会，教育的目的就是为 社会培养各种人才，如果不注重学生兴趣，那么他们到社会不可能尽其 所 能。有时候可能埋没人才。比如一味的
48、强调分数，那么对发明有兴趣的学生可能会失去动力， eg. 达尔文的父亲要求他学医 ，但他对自然界有强烈的兴趣，最终写出了“进化论”； 爱因斯坦小时候学习并不好 ，并不表示他笨，而是没有找到自己的兴趣。所以，教育应该因材施教 people oriented principle，teach students in accordance of their aptitude and interesting. 2 然而，学习如何找到好工作的课程也不能忽略，因为学生最终是要走向社会、走向工作岗位的。 A）除了基础理论课，学校还应教授一些贴近实际应用的课程及工作技能，使学生能够找到合适的岗位，同时以满足社会
49、的需要。 B）学会如何与其他人更好的交流、合作，宽容忍让， teamwork spirit，这些都有助于一个人走出校园之后的事业和发展。当每个人都能找到合适自己的工作，并在岗位上尽职尽责时 ，社会也会更加繁重稳定。 3 当然，学校毕竟不是职业培训机构，应该着重在教育而不是针对某一行业的培训。 学校更看重的应该是对一个学生的全面培养，除了专业知识和技能的传授，从正确的道德观、人生观和价值观，到处理问题的科学方法和能力，都是学校教育的重点。因此，对于学校来说，一个很好的做法是，必修课与选修课的结合。而这样的方法几乎被所有大学验证是一个非常好的措施。 .可供参考 老题库 191 “Education should be equally devoted to enriching the personal lives of students and to training students to be productive workers.“ 教育应该把这两件事看得同等重要丰富学生的个人生活，把学生培养成生产者。 （ 类似于 90T） In my view, preparing students for the mundane aspects of work sh
