Unlike most, though, she decided to do something about it. Part declaration part record, her book Born to Rise writes down her journey toward creating and running her own system of progressive charter schools in Harlem in New York City.What is your educational philosophy?B) We want our students to receive the same high-quality education as students who are privileged to attend the best private schools in the country. Personally, I believe a progressive education is superior as long as its delivered by really smart, talented teachers who know how to execute well. Its a sophisticated approach that really only works well in the hands of a really sophisticated educator. Were dealing with a little bit of a challenge because students enter this school from the regular public system. And when they enter in fifth grade, theyre not yet well-trained in the basics reading, writing, and math-which means that we have to catch them up on basic math skills, on the basics of writing. And many of them come in at a kindergarten, first, second-grade level in reading. So we have to accelerate their mastery of the basics, but we reject the idea that if you do that you cant teach that at a high level. We push ourselves constantly to think about how we can make sure that our students will catch up while we teach at the highest possible level. It means asking difficult, delicate questions, not accepting an answer that is not backed up by evidence, the kinds of things that you would expect to see in the best private schools. We aim for a high level in rich discussions where the students are asked to analyze a challenging text and where the teacher does not accept just any answer simply because the student is behaving. What makes the Harlem Village Academies different?C) First of all, I have to say what we have in common with other charter schools because we have learned so much from them: creating an expectation that all students will attend college, naming classrooms after colleges, the longer school day, the longer school year. I feel its important to give credit where credit is due because I learned from them. In those early years when I opened the school, most of these other schools bad been around for seven years, ten years, some of them even longer.D ) As far as what makes us different, Ill tell you what the teachers say: teachers tell us that the level of professionalism and passion for teaching at a high level and teaching above the test, not to the test, and working in an environment, where everybody is trusted to do their job and continually learning-theres this incredible culture of learning. Theres this incredible workplace culture where the adults are continually becoming better and learning more about how to become a better lead her. The teachers get to make all of the decisions about their own professional development rather than being enforced to at tend the training. They are treated like professional-grade doctors and lawyers at the. Highest level. They actually make the decisions not only about what books to use and what teaehing methed, but even about what their own professional development Ioukslike.Theres a very clear set of standards far what the students need to know and be able to do at the end of each year and quarter, and we hold people accountable for that end goal. But we give them complete freedom to decide how theyre going to achieve it, which is how all professionals are treated. Unfortunately, its not how most teachers are treated inthis country. Most teachers are treated like factory workers, where theres a hig set ofrules on how they have to do everything.What does the curriculum look like at Harlem Village Academy schools?E) It looks like a classic liberal-arts curriculum, where math, reading, and writing are not the only subjects taught. Even if the state focuses its testing on those things, we do not let the state dictate our curriculum. We are interested in a rich curriculum that includes art and music and seience and social studies and a wide variety of electives, and character education is integrated throughout.How do you address the criticisms people have regarding charter schools?F) Id say that the .main criticisms are stemming from the fact that in a charter system the teachers are not unionized, and theyre treated as professionals instead of as manual laborers. The charter movement is challenging the current situation, its eoming along and saying we used to completely change the underlying premiere ( 前提) of how we go about public education. Parents should be able to choose the scherzi. We should give power to all parents, regardless of socioeonomie level, to choose where they send their child, and that creates market competition: if you have an amazing school with caring teachers and great results, parents are going to ant to choose that school. The charter movement is putting the needs of children first anti is holding teachers accountable. It ehalleuges the notion of tenure (终身教职), where theres no accountability at all.Whats next for you and the Harlem Village Academies?G) We are going to triple (增至三倍) in size in the next twn years. We will have a full K -12 system. Were starting two new elementary schools, we will be serving 2,000 children, but we are not eager to grow super-big. We want to use the platform of what we re learned and the results that weve produced-that ant teachers have produced-to have an ational influence on policy and on teaching methods. The laws that govern how school srun constrain the ability of the printcipal to run the school well. Theyre not allowed to build a team. And building a team where teachers are trusted, happy and cooperative is really the foundation for an excellent school. So we want to find a way to get our message out nationally and continue to be part of the movement.36. In the Harlem Village Academies. teachers can decide themselves how they are going to achieve the teaching objectives.37. The charter movement challenges the tenure system in making childrens needs apriority and holding, teachers responsible.38 The Harlem Village Academies will be able to enroll 2,000 ehildren in the next twoyears39. Deborah Kenny admits that she learns a lot from other charter schools.40. The curriculum at Harlem Village Academies not only includes the subjects frequentlytested.41.The Harlem Village Academies are eager to exert a national influence on policy and teaching methods.42. Students entering the Harlem Village Academies are from the regular public system.43. Deborah Kenny decides to create and run the Harlem Village Academies because sheis disappointed about the current education system.44. Charter schools are mainly criticized for treating the teachers as professionals.45. One of the challenges facing the Harlern Village Academies is how to accelerate students mastery of the basics.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions orunfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C andD . You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on AnswerSheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Sign has become a scientific hot button.Only in the past 20 years have specialists in language study realized that signed languages are uniquea speech of the hand.They offer a new way to probe how the brain generates and understands language，and throw new light on an old scientific controversy：whether language，complete with grammar，is something that we are born With，or whether it is a learned behavior. The current interest in sign language has roots in the pioneering work of one rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington，D. C.，the worlds only liberal arts university for deaf people.When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English，the school enrolled him in a course in signing. But Stokoe noticed something odd： among themselves，students signed differently from his classroom teacher.Stokoe had been taught a sort of gestural code，each movement of the hands representing a word in English.At the time，American Sign Language (ASL) was thought to be no more than a form of pidgin English (混杂英语)。But Stokoe believed the “hand talk”his students used looked richer.He wondered：Might deaf people actually：have a genuine language? And could that language be unlike any other on Earth?It was 1955，wheneven deaf people dismissed their signing as“substandard”。 Stokoes idea was academic heresy (异端邪说)。It is 37 years later.Stokoenow devoting his time to writing and editing books and journals and to producing video materials on ASL and the deaf cultureis having lunch at a cafe near the Gallaudet campus and explaining how he started a revolution. For decades educators fought his idea that signed languages are natural languages like English，French and Japanese.They assumed language must be based on speech，the modulation (调节)of sound.But sign language is based on the movement of hands，the modulation of space.“What I said ”Stokoe explains “is that language is not mouth stuffits brain stuff.”Choose correct answers to the question：46.The study of sign language is thought to be _.A.a new way to look at the learning of languageB.a challenge to traditional， views on the nature of languageC.an approach： to simplifying the grammatical structure of a languageD.an attempt to clarify misunderstanding about the origin of language47.The present growing interest in sign language was stimulated by _.A.a famous scholar in the study of the human brainB.a leading specialist in the study of liberal artsC.an English teacher in a university for the deafD.some senior experts in American Sign Language48.According to Stokoe， sign language is _.A.a Substandard languageB.a genuine languageC.an artificial languageD.an international language49.Most educators objected to Stokoes idea because they thought _.A.sign language was not extensively used even by deaf peopleB.sign language was too artificial to be widely acceptedC.a language should be easy to use and understandD.a language could only exist in the form of speech sounds50.Stokoes argument is based on his belief that _.A.sign language is as efficient as any other languageB.sign language is derived from natural languageC.language is a system of meaningful codesD.language is a product of the brainPassage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality，but when it comes to mycollege education I am an idealist and a fool.In high school I wanted to be an electrical engineer and，of course，any sensible student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department，famous reputation and lots of good labs and research equipment. But thats not what I did.I chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts(文科)university that doesnt even offer a major in electrical engineering. Obviously，this was not a practical choice;I came here for more noble reasons. I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility and a value system to guide me in my career.I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by interacting with people who werent studying science orengineering. My parents，teachers and other adults praised me for such a sensible choice.They told me I was wise and mature beyond my 18 years，and I believed them.I headed off to college sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineering “factories” where they didnt care if you have values or were flexible. I was going to be a complete engineer：technical genius and sensitive humanist(人文学者)all in one.Now Im not so sure.Somewhere along the way my noble ideals crashed into reality，as all noble ideals eventually do.After three years of struggling to balance math，physics and engineering courses with liberal-arts courses，I have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile(协调) engineering with liberal-arts courses in college.The reality that has blocked my path to become the typical successful student is that engineering and the liberal arts simply dont mix as easily as I assumed in high school.Individually they shape a person in very different ways;together they threaten to confuse. The struggle to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult.Choose correct answers to the question：51.The author chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts university because he _.A.intended to be a combination of engineer and humanistB.wanted to be an example of practicality and rationalityC.intended to be a sensible student with noble idealsD.wanted to coordinate engineering with liberal-arts courses in college52.According to the author，by interacting with people who study liberal arts， engineering students can _.A.broaden their horizonsB.become noble idealistsC.receive guidance in their careersD.balance engineering and the liberal arts53.In the eyes of the author，a successful engineering student is expected _.A.to be imaginative with a value system to guide himB.to be a technical genius with a wide visionC.to have an excellent academic recordD.to be wise and mature54.The authors experience shows that he was _.A.creativeB.irrationalC.ambitiousD.Unrealistic55.The word“they”in“together they threaten to confuse.”(Line 3，Para. 5) refers to _.A.practicality and rationalityB.engineering and the liberal artsC.reality and noble idealsD.flexibility and a value systemPart IV Translation ( 答题时间30分钟 )Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese intoEnglish.
