1. 现在社会上有各种各样的私立学校和培训学校;
2. 私立学校和培训学校的利与弊。
【经典范文】
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

然而，私立学校如此之多，这究竟是好是含侍坏呢?正如硬币都有正反 两面，私立学校亦如此。一方面，私立学校能够迎合社会与人们的特殊 需要。另一方面，因为相互攀比和竞争，它们也会给人们增添额外的负担。
我们的社会是应废止私立学校，还是应拥有私立学校呢?如果由我 定夺，我会毫不犹豫地选含握择后者。

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(驾照)，Amy was excited about practicing her driving on the trip.She showed off her license to everyone she met.
或虚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(拥抱)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.

翻译：
教育公平，中国投入360亿元，用于改善农村地区教育设施和加强中西部农村义务教育（compulsory ecation ）。这些基金用于改善教学设施，购买书籍，使116万多所中小学受益。资金还用于购置音乐和绘画器材，现在农村和山区的儿童可以与沿海城市的儿童一样上音乐和绘画课。一些为接受更好教育而转往城市上学的学生如今又回到本地农村学校就读。
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.
中国进一步发展核能，因为核电目前只占其总发电量的2%。该比例在所有核国家中居第30位，几乎是最低的。
2011年3月日本核电站事故后，中国的核能开发停了下来，中止审批新的核电站，并开展全国性的核安全检查。到2012年10月，审批才又谨慎地恢复。
随着技术和安全措施的改进，发生事故de可能性完全可以降低到最低程度。换句话说，核能是可以安全开发和利用的。
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.
中国的教育工作者早就认识到读书对于国家的意义。有些教育工作者2003年就建议设立全民读书日。他们强调，人们应当读好书，尤其是经典著作。通过阅读，人们能更好的学会感恩、有责任心和与人合作，而教育的目的正是要培养这些基本素质。阅读对于中小学生尤为重要，假如他们没有在这个关键时期培养阅读的兴趣，以后要培养成阅读的习惯就更难了。
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.
写作：
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月大学英语四级考试（第二套） 仔细阅读（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 (本能的感芹缓尘觉嫌禅is lives are in danger," said Dr. Papadakos. "哪让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 (信条) 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】选[A]。分析选项发现四个选项均是由表示方位的介宾短语“in+名词”构成，表明本题考查的是对地点的判断，我们可以根据行为活动和代表性的词语来判断地点。对话一开始女士的buy that book即表明对话发生在书店内。而图书馆一般与借书、还书有关。
20. Which class are the man and the woman taking together?
【解析】选[C]。四个选项的内容在录音中都有提及，关键是听清题目问的是男士和女士一起讨论的是什么课。回忆女士所说的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】选[D]。根据[B]、[C]、[D]可以推断He指的是一个老师或者教授。录音中提到了Professor Robert，女士说Professor Robert really seems to know his subject，男士肯定了女士的说法，说Professor Robert的课very good并且喜欢listening to his students，由此可以判断Professor Robert是一个优秀的教授。
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】选[B]。对话围绕着交下一年的宿舍押金展开，接着女士说她在考虑搬出校园，由此引发了两人的讨论，因此整个对话主要是对话双方讨论下一年在哪居住的问题，因此答案选[B]。
23. What must a person do in order to live in a university house?
【解析】选[A]。对话中男士说You’d better hurry up if you want a room next September，而从前面的对话内容(make my domp3itory deposit for next year)可知男士说的hurry up指的是赶紧去交domp3itory deposit，由此可知如果要住学校的房子，就要付一些钱给housing office，故选[A]。
24. Where do the two speakers live now?
【解析】选[A]。从对话最后两人谈到在宿舍学习时的情况和住宿舍可以省钱可以判断两人现在都住宿舍，只是女士想搬出宿舍住。
25. What does the man seem to be concerned about?
【解析】选[D]。从男士的话Think of the money you’d save可以判断他关心的是money，因此答案选[D]。[A] Grades是女士关心的问题。[B]和[C]两项对话中未谈及。
