私立學校和培訓學校
Directions: Write a composition entitled Private School. You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:
1. 現在社會上有各種各樣的私立學校和培訓學校;
2. 私立學校和培訓學校的利與弊。
【經典範文】
Private School
With the development of the society and economy, various private schools arise. When you read newspapers, turn on TV, or even walk on the road, you will inevitably see lots of advertisements about private schools, mainly dealing with foreign languages, computers, music, sports, and so on.
However, is it a good or bad thing to have so many private schools? As a coin has two sides, so are the private schools. On the one hand, private schools can cater to the special need of the society and the special need of people. On the other hand, they often bring people extra burden because of comparison and competition.
Were it left to me decide whether we should have a society without
private.schools.or.asocietywithprivaie.schools,X.sfeould..QoLbesitate.a
momenttopreferjhejlatter. (138 words)
【譯文賞析】 私立學校
隨著社會經濟的發展，各種私立學校曰益盛行。當你在讀報時，看 電視時，甚至走在路上時，都能看到許多關於私立學校的廣告，這些學 校主攻外語、計算機、音樂、體育等。
然而，私立學校如此之多，這究竟是好是含侍壞呢?正如硬幣都有正反 兩面，私立學校亦如此。一方面，私立學校能夠迎合社會與人們的特殊 需要。另一方面，因為相互攀比和競爭，它們也會給人們增添額外的負擔。
我們的社會是應廢止私立學校，還是應擁有私立學校呢?如果由我 定奪，我會毫不猶豫地選含握擇後者。
【詞彙表達亮點】
arise v.出現
inevitably adv.必然地，不可避免地
deal with處理，關於
cater to 迎合談老吵
burden n.負擔
were it left to me decide whether ...如果讓我決定是否……
hesitate v.猶豫

Blameless
I was a freshman in college when I met the Whites.They were completely different from my own family，yet I felt at home with them immediately.Jane White and I became friends at school，and her family welcomed me like a long-lost cousin.
衫宴燃In my family，it was always important to place blame when anything bad happened.
“Who did this?”my mother would scream about a dirty kitchen.
“This is all your fault，Katharine，”my father would insist when the cat got out or the dishwasher broke.
From the time we were little，my sister，brothers and I told on each other.We set a place for blame at the dinner table.
But the Whites didn’t worry about who had done what.They picked up the pieces and moved on with their lives.The beauty of this was driven home to me the summer Jane died.
In July，the White sisters and I decided to take a car trip from their home in Florida to New York.The two older sisters，Sarah and Jane，were college students，and the youngest，Amy，had recently turned sixteen.Proud of having a new driver’s license(駕照)，Amy was excited about practicing her driving on the trip.She showed off her license to everyone she met.
或虛The big sisters shared the driving of Sarah’s new car ring the first part of the trip，but when they reached less crowded areas，they let Amy take over.
Somewhere in South Carolina，we pulled off the highway to eat.After lunch，
Amy got behind the wheel.She came to a crossroads with a stop sign.Whether she was nervous or just didn’t see the sign no one would ever know，but Amy continued into the crossroads without stopping.The driver of a large truck，unable to stop in time，ran into our car.
Jane was killed immediately.
I was slightly injured.The most difficult thing that I’祥友ve ever done was to call the Whites to tell them about the accident and that Jane had died.Painful as it was for me to lose a good friend，I knew that it was far worse for them to lose a child.
When Mr. and Mrs. White arrived at the hospital，they found their two daughters sharirng a room.Sarah had a few cuts on the head;Amy’s leg was broken.They hugged(擁抱)us all and cried tears of sadness and of joy at seeing their daughters.They wiped away the girls’ tears and made a few jokes at Amy as she learned to use her crutches(拐杖).
To both of their daughters，and especially to Amy，over and over they simply said， “We’re so glad that you’re alive.”
I was astonished.No blame.No accusations.
Later，I asked the Whites why they never talked about the fact that Amy was driving and had run a stop sign.
Mrs.White said，“Jane’s gone，and we miss her terribly.Nothing we say or do will ever bring her back.But Amy has her whole life ahead of her.How can she lead a full and happy life if she feels we blame her for her sister’s death?”
They were right.Amy graated from the University of California and got married several years ago.She works as a teacher of learning-disabled students.
She’s also a mother of two little girls of her own，the oldest named Jane.

翻譯：
教育公平，中國投入360億元，用於改善農村地區教育設施和加強中西部農村義務教育（compulsory ecation ）。這些基金用於改善教學設施，購買書籍，使116萬多所中小學受益。資金還用於購置音樂和繪畫器材，現在農村和山區的兒童可以與沿海城市的兒童一樣上音樂和繪畫課。一些為接受更好教育而轉往城市上學的學生如今又回到本地農村學校就讀。
In order to promote the justice in ecation, China has already invested 36 billion RMB, which is used to enhance the teaching facilities of the countryside and compulsory ecation of rural area of mid-west.
These funds can be used to improve the teaching aids and to purchase books, benefiting 16,000 middle schools and primary schools. Furthermore, these funds can also be used to purchase instrument for music and paintings. Nowadays, children from countryside and mountain areas can enjoy music class and painting class like the children in coastal areas do. Some students who were previously transferred to cities for better ecation now return to local areas to study.
中國進一步發展核能，因為核電目前只佔其總發電量的2%。該比例在所有核國家中居第30位，幾乎是最低的。
2011年3月日本核電站事故後，中國的核能開發停了下來，中止審批新的核電站，並開展全國性的核安全檢查。到2012年10月，審批才又謹慎地恢復。
隨著技術和安全措施的改進，發生事故de可能性完全可以降低到最低程度。換句話說，核能是可以安全開發和利用的。
China should develop the energy of nuclear more, for nuclear power only accounts for 2% of the gross electrical power output, which makes China the least, the 30th,in the list of countries which own nuclear power.
After the Japan's accidents in March 2011, the exploration of nuclear power has been suspended, including halting the examining and approving new nuclear power stations as well as safety inspection of all the nuclear stations in the country. The approval didn't recover until
October, 2012.
With the improvement of technology and safety arrangement, the possibilities of nuclear accidents could be reced to the minimum degree. That is to say, nuclear power could be developed and utilized without accidents.
中國的教育工作者早就認識到讀書對於國家的意義。有些教育工作者2003年就建議設立全民讀書日。他們強調，人們應當讀好書，尤其是經典著作。通過閱讀，人們能更好的學會感恩、有責任心和與人合作，而教育的目的正是要培養這些基本素質。閱讀對於中小學生尤為重要，假如他們沒有在這個關鍵時期培養閱讀的興趣，以後要培養成閱讀的習慣就更難了。
Chinese ecators have already realized the significance of reading for a nation. Some workers suggested that we have a national reading day in 2003. They emphasized that people should read good books especially the classic ones. Through reading, people can learn better how to be grateful, responsible and cooperative. The goal of ecation is to cultivate these basic personalities. Reading is especially important for middle and primary school students. Suppose they don't nurture the interest of reading at that key moment, it will be harder to develop a habit to read books.
寫作：
Suppose a foreign friend of yours is coming to visit your hometown/campus/China. Where would you show her and why?
As one of the most bewitching and international cities in China, I strongly recommend you, my dearest friends, to pay a visit to my hometown--Beijing. It is the capital of China for several dynasties over a long period. In the meantime, it has now evolved into the political, cultural and ecational center.There are many places of interests here in Beijing, among which the Summer Palace is the most interesting attraction.
The Summer Palace is situated in the western outskirts of Beijing, and it is one of the most classical gardens in China, which enjoys a worldwide reputation. The most alluring scenery is Kunming Lake, with an exquisite building in the middle, and it involves three parts which are mainly used as the ancient empress's living quarter.
I'm sure you can definitely experience the characteristic and traditional culture of China. Hope you could enjoy your trip!
Ⅳ 2014年6月大學英語四級考試（第二套） 仔細閱讀（1）
Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.
Hospitals, hoping to curb medical error, have invested heavily to put computers, smartphones and other devices into the hands of medical staff for instant access to patient data, drug information and case studies.
But like many cures, this solution has come with an unintended side effect: doctors and nurses can be focused on the screen and not the patient, even ring moments of critical care. A poll showed that half of medical technicians had admitted texting ring a procere.
This phenomenon has set off an intensifying discussion at hospitals and medical schools about a problem perhaps best described as "distracted doctoring." In response, some hospitals have begun limiting the use of electronic devices in critical settings, while schools have started reminding medical students to focus on patients instead of devices.
"You justify carrying devices around the hospital to do medical records, but you can surf the Internet or do Facebook, and sometimes Facebook is more tempting," said Dr. Peter Papadakos at the University of Rochester Medical Center. "My gut feeling (本能的感芹緩塵覺嫌禪is lives are in danger," said Dr. Papadakos. "哪讓We're not ecating people about the problem, and it's getting worse."
A survey of 439 medical technicians found that 55 percent of technicians who monitor bypass machines acknowledged that they had talked on cellphones ring heart surgery. Half said they had texted while in surgery. The study concluded, "Such distractions have the potential to be disastrous."
Medical professionals have always faced interruptions from cellphones, and multitasking is simply a fact of life for many medical jobs. What has changed, say doctors, especially younger ones, is that they face increasing pressure to interact with their devices.
The pressure stems from a mantra (信條) of modem medicine that patient care must be "data driven," and informed by the latest, instantly accessible information. By many accounts, the technology has helped rece medical error by providing instant access to patient data or prescription details.
Dr. Peter Carmel, president of the American Medical Association, said technology "offers great potential in health care."
but he added that doctors' first priority should be with the patient.
56. Why do hospitals equip their staff with computers, smartphones and other devices?
A.To rece medical error.
B.To cope with emergencies.
C.To facilitate administration.
D.To simplify medical proceres.
57. What does the author refer to by "distracted doctoring"?
A.The disservice done by modem devices to doctors, nurses, as well as patients.
B.The tendency of medical institutions encouraging the use of modem devices.
C.The problem of devices preventing doctors from focusing on their patients.
D.The phenomenon of medical staff attending to personal affairs while working.
58. What does Dr. Peter Papadakos worry about?
A.Medical students are not adequately trained to use modem technology.
B.Doctor's interaction with their devices may endanger patients' lives.
C.Doctors are relying too heavily on modem electronic technology.
D.Pressures on the medical profession may become overwhelming.
59. Why do doctors feel increasing pressure to use modem devices?
A.Patients trust doctors who use modern technology.
B.Use of modem devices adds to hospitals' revenues.
C.Data is given too much importance in patient care.
D.Patients' data has to be revised from time to time.
60. What is Peter Carmel's advice to doctors?
A.They follow closely the advances in medical science.
B.They focus their attention on the patient's condition.
C.They observe hospital rules and regulations.
D.They make the best use of modem devices.

Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.
19. Where is the conversation most probably taking place?
【解析】選[A]。分析選項發現四個選項均是由表示方位的介賓短語“in+名詞”構成，表明本題考查的是對地點的判斷，我們可以根據行為活動和代表性的詞語來判斷地點。對話一開始女士的buy that book即表明對話發生在書店內。而圖書館一般與借書、還書有關。
20. Which class are the man and the woman taking together?
【解析】選[C]。四個選項的內容在錄音中都有提及，關鍵是聽清題目問的是男士和女士一起討論的是什麼課。回憶女士所說的in the same class和Introction to English Literature以及男士的肯定回答Yes可以得出答案。
21. What does the man think about Professor Robert?
【解析】選[D]。根據[B]、[C]、[D]可以推斷He指的是一個老師或者教授。錄音中提到了Professor Robert，女士說Professor Robert really seems to know his subject，男士肯定了女士的說法，說Professor Robert的課very good並且喜歡listening to his students，由此可以判斷Professor Robert是一個優秀的教授。
Conversation Two
M: You should have seen the line at the housing office. It took me an hour to make my domp3itory deposit for next year. Have you made yours yet?
W: No, I’m not sure I’m going to.
M: There’s not much time left. The deadline’s May 1. That is just two weeks from now. Are you short of cash?
W: No, I’m Okay.
M: You’d better hurry up if you want a domp3 room next September. There aren’t enough rooms for every one, and first year students have priority.
W: Well, I’ve been thinking about living off campus.
M: Have you any idea of how much that would cost? There is the rent, utilities, and you’d probably need a car.
W: I know it would be more expensive. I think I can handle it though. The domp3 is just so noisy that I can’t get anything done. Maybe my grades would be better if I had some peace and quiet in a place of my own.
M: You should study in the library the way I do. Think of the money you’d save.
W: I’ve got to think it over some more. There’s still two weeks left in April.
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
22. What are the speakers discussing?
【解析】選[B]。對話圍繞著交下一年的宿舍押金展開，接著女士說她在考慮搬出校園，由此引發了兩人的討論，因此整個對話主要是對話雙方討論下一年在哪居住的問題，因此答案選[B]。
23. What must a person do in order to live in a university house?
【解析】選[A]。對話中男士說You’d better hurry up if you want a room next September，而從前面的對話內容(make my domp3itory deposit for next year)可知男士說的hurry up指的是趕緊去交domp3itory deposit，由此可知如果要住學校的房子，就要付一些錢給housing office，故選[A]。
24. Where do the two speakers live now?
【解析】選[A]。從對話最後兩人談到在宿舍學習時的情況和住宿舍可以省錢可以判斷兩人現在都住宿舍，只是女士想搬出宿舍住。
25. What does the man seem to be concerned about?
【解析】選[D]。從男士的話Think of the money you’d save可以判斷他關心的是money，因此答案選[D]。[A] Grades是女士關心的問題。[B]和[C]兩項對話中未談及。
