7、 have happened for a long time in our educational system. It seems that educators just want to give standardized tests, which focus only on academic performance and neglect students' abilities and interest in other areas. I think there are a lot of people who are very intelligent,

8、but haven't had the opportunities they could have had if they had learned in a broader-minded educational system. I feel that a lot of courses that students are required to take in high school are too academic, and, as a result,many kids have lost their interest in learning.Educators often

9、fail to recognize various kinds of intelligence. They simply exert a lot of pressure on students to be as well-rounded as possible. I think being well-rounded isn't really possible. And as a consequence, some students I believe to be intelligent can't get into good colleges if

10、 they, you know, haven't scored well on the math section, even if they are brilliant writers.Another thing that disturbs me is that the so-called weak students are separated from the rest of the school. Some kids are kept in a separate class if their grades are lower than others'.A

11、nd they're very aware of their social position, you know. I think it causes them to act in a way that is not really positive. They're just acting in a way they are expected. Often their grades go from bad to worse. And that's pretty sad.I think that many of the kids in those cl

12、asses are intelligent, but they never actually realize their potential because of the way they are treated early on in their education. Keys: (1)standardized tests (2)abilities and interest (3)interest (4)pressure (5)well-rounded (6)get into good colleges

14、so confident that on the weekend before the final, they decided to go up to the University of Virginia and party with some friends there. They had a great time and didn't make it back to school until early Monday morning.Rather than taking the final then, they decided to find thei

15、r professor after the final and explain to him why they missed it. They explained that they had planned to come back in time for the final exam, but, unfortunately, they had a flat tire on the way back and didn't have a spare.As a result, they missed the final.The professor thought it

16、over and then agreed they could make up the final the following day. The guys were relieved and elated. The next day, the professor placed them in separate rooms, handed each of them a paper, and told them to begin.They looked at the first problem, worth five points. It was a simple q

17、uestion on a chemical reaction."Cool," they all thought at the same time, each one in his separate room, "this is going to be easy." Each finished the problem and then turned the page. On the second page was a question worth 95 points: "Which of the tires was flat?

20、of more than 21,000 students,including undergraduates and students in 10 graduate and professional schools.Over 14,000 people work at Harvard, including more than 2,100 faculty members. Harvard has produced eight American presidents and many Nobel Prize winners.During its early years, Harvard o

21、ffered a classic academic course based on the model of English universities, but consistent with the prevailing Puritan philosophy. Although many of its early graduates became ministers in Puritan churches throughout New England, the university was never formally affiliated with a spe

22、cific religious group.Under President Pusey, Harvard started what was then the largest fundraising campaign in the history of American higher education. It was an 82.5-million-dollar program for the university. The program increased faculty salaries, broadened student aid, created new prof

23、essorships,and expanded Harvard's physical facilities.NeiI L. Rudenstine took office as Harvard's 26th president in 1991. As part of an overall effort to achieve greater coordination among the university's schools and faculties, Rudenstine encouraged academic planning and ident

24、ified some of Harvard's main intellectual priorities. He also stressed the importance of the university's excellence in undergraduate education, the significance of keeping Harvard's doors open to students from families of different economic backgrounds, and the task of ad

25、apting the research university to an era of both rapid information growth and serious fund shortage. Keys: 1.B 2.A 3. C 4.D 5.DViewing and speaking:Task 1:University budget cutsScriptHost: Well, David Lammy, the University Minister, joins me from Westminster.Now thanks for joining us this lunch

26、time, Mr. Lammy. How do these cuts. tie in with your much trumpeted commitment to increasing higher education? Interviewee: Well, I think it's important to remind viewers that we will spend well over 12 billion pounds on higher education this year and to also say that there will be mor

27、e students at university next year than ever before in our history. But what is important is that when they get to university, is that they have good facilities, good buildings, that they have good contact with their lecturers and, for students from poorer backgrounds that they receive a g

28、rant.And you know 40 percent of students who are going to university are in receipt of some grants. So we have to plan. Host:But there's going to be less money next year. That's the bottom line, isn't it? Interviewee: Er, we are asking universities to make a one percent cut in

29、their teaching grant. That's 51 million out of a total budget of over five billion. Look, I think there are families across the country preparing for Christmas spending a bit less and they're, you know, it's a lot more than one percent that they're, they're feeling

30、. So I think this is reasonable to ask universities if we are to ensure that we can continue to send more young people to university and we remain committed to that. Host:And briefly, what about these two-year degrees? This is a reduction in standards, isn't it? Interviewee:Well,

31、we, we, we. It's important in this country that we remember that students aren't just the classic 18- to 21-year-old undergraduates. We want mature students. We want more parttime students and over the last few years we've been growing the number of foundation degree, two-year

32、degrees that ensure that transition into high university and high level skills. That's what we want to support and that's what we're indicating in the grant letter that we've sent to universities over the last few days. Host:OK. David Lammy, thank you so much for joining us

39、 world today? Ed: Today. I think damage to the ozone layer is a big problem, and another problem is pollution in big cities and things like that. Martha: How do you learn about environmental problems? Ed: Um. through school. A lot of clubs promote environmental safety, and some TV pro

40、grams, too. They talk about environmental safety and stuff like that. Martha: Do you think students should learn more about the environment at school? Ed: I think so. So, as they grow older, they can be more aware of all the problems that are going on, and also to prevent more problems fro

41、m occurring. Martha: If you could create a new law to help the environment, what would it be? Ed: A new law for the environment? Um. I'd probably say that when people throw away their cigarette butts, they have to throw them into the garbage bin, not just throw them everywhere because

42、it's just littering and I hate that. So they should be fined if they throw them on the floor or on the ground. Martha: That's a good idea. What do you personally do to help protect the environment? Ed: I'm so against littering. I never litter. If I see somebody litter, I get re

44、e dead fish floating on the river or notice that the water is discolored and smelly, you know the river has been polluted, and there are four main possible causes for it.First, fertilizer. If large amounts of fertilizer or farm waste drain into a river, the concentrations of nitrate and phospha

45、te in the water increase considerably.Algae use these substances to grow rapidly, turning the water green. This massive growth of algae leads to pollution. When the algae die, they are broken down by the action of the bacteria, which quickly multiply, using up all the oxygen in the water and th

46、erefore causing the death of fish.Second, industrial waste. Factories sometimes discharge chemical waste into rivers. Examples of such pollutants include cyanide, lead, copper, and mercury. These substances may enter the water in such high concentrations that fish and other animals are killed immedi

47、ately. Sometimes the pollutants enter the food chain and accumulate until they reach toxic levels, eventually killing fish and other animals.Third, oil pollution. If oil enters a slow-moving river, it forms a rainbow-colored film over the entire surface, preventing oxygen from entering the water.Fou

48、rth, warm water. Industry often uses water for cooling processes, sometimes discharging large quantities of warm water back into rivers. A higher temperature of the water lowers the level of dissolved oxygen and upsets the balance of life in the water. Keys:1.D 2.A 3.B 4.C 5.DTask3: Curbing car

49、bon emissions Script: Although it is not an easy task, China is striving to fulfill the promise to cut its carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by 40 to 45 percent in the next 10 years.Zhang Guobao, Director of the National Energy Administration, said, "The government puts great e

50、mphasis on seeking harmonious development between cities and the environment, and is readjusting the energy structure by giving priority to the development of clean and low-carbon energies, including hydroelectric, nuclear, wind, and solar power."Government authorities have closed small, coal-f

51、ired plants with a total capacity of 60.06 million kilowatts in the past four years. This year's target of closing 10 million kilowatts of capacity will be achieved by August."We have promised to the international community that 15 percent of our power will be generated from nonfossil sourc

52、es by 2020," Director Zhang said. At present, non-fossil energy accounts for only 7.8 percent.China is making efforts to increase the proportion of clean energy in its total energy consumption. Statistics show that China invested US$34.6 billion in clean energy last year, exceeding the United S

53、tates which invested US$18.6 billion. Thus, China has become the world leader in generating clean energy. Five years earlier, China's investment in clean energy was only US$2.5 billion.However, China's carbon emission reduction target cannot be achieved easily. The shift to a low-carbon econ

54、omy might be met at a cost to society. For instance, more than 400,000 people were laid off as a result of the shutdown of small coal-fired power plants in the past four years. Many studies indicate that the effort to curb greenhouse gas emissions may delay China's development, affect people'

58、toward the world climate conference. Task 3:Let's group work!Developed countries should bear more responsibilities. First, they caused most of the world pollution in their industrialization process. Second, they are already economically advanced, with more funds to deal with pollu

59、tion problems. On the other hand, developing countries caused less pollution in the past, and now they need rapid development. Therefore, an international agreement the Kyoto Protocol in 1997 stipulated common but differentiated responsibilities for developed and developing nations, which

60、means that both should be responsible for environmental protection and cut carbon dioxide emissions, but the former must take more responsibility. Recently, however, some wealthy countries have insisted that developing countries like China should shoulder more responsibilities. VI. Further
