1. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? A teacher who is serious and strict is more effective than a teacher who is humorous and easy-going? （2008-8-23北美，2008-8-24）对待学生严肃严格的老师比幽默好相处的老师教学更有效果，同意与否？结构： 不同意该观点。也许就“记住老师说的东西”而言，是更有效率，然而就教育本身的效果的而言却是低效，因为学生失去了思考的机会。1. 严肃又严格的老师所在的课堂内，学生的主动性降低，气氛过于紧张，不利于他们思考，而幽默轻松的环境里学生的思维活跃，对所学的印象也深；2. 有的老师严格要求学生记住所学的内容，这无形中建立了学生和老师的教条关系。不利于学生的主动学习。教学应该是启发求知欲的产生，使得学生产生自己去探索的愿望；3. 幽默和容易相处的固然能够活跃气，使学生更舒服，但作为老师，对学生还是应该保持一些必要的影响，在他们犯错误的时候纠正他们，使其信服。 I could not agree with the statement that strict teachers are more effective than easy-going ones because when evaluating efficiency, it is the improvement of students capabilities that should be considered rather than how much contents of what teachers have taught they memorize. In the class of a strict and serious teacher, the students are passively forced to study in a stressful atmosphereatmosphere n. 气氛，氛围 which is harmful for the activity of their minds. Learning is hence not enjoyable at all, but a terrible, imperative, sometimes even dangerous labor when naughty students get punished. On the contrary, a humorous and easy-going teacher could firstly, make the class interesting, and secondly, make students feel unstressed to think and ask. Because of the more active role that students play with such a teacher, the content of teaching becomes more impressive. Strictness builds a dogmaticdogmatic adj. 教条式的；dogma n. 教条；dogmatize v. 武断地提出；dogmatization n. 教条化 relationship between the teacher and his/her students, through the rules that teacher requires his/her students to obey and the contents he/she asks them to memorize with endless tests and disciplines. Many educationists expostulated withexpostulate with sb. about sth. 告/劝诫某人某事（不同于警告，而是有规劝之意，尤其用于先人对后人，长辈对晚辈） teachers about dogmatization. According to Lytton, a British politician, “The best teacher is the one who suggests rather than dogmatized, and inspires his listener with the wish to teach himself.” Similarly, Socrates once said, “I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think.” In this sense, humorous and easy-going teachers who at least allow the activity of thinking and questioning are more qualified teachers. Sense of humor plus affabilityaffability n. 亲切，和蔼, as is mentioned above, can make students more comfortable and active in classes. However, as a teacher, one still needs to notice that he/she maintains his/her necessary influence on the students, which makes a teacher convincing, persuasive and trustable. Being easy-going should never be equal to leavingleave sb. unwarned 不去告诫/警告某人，置之不理 anyone that has made mistakes unwarned. “Teaching is not a lost art, but the regard of it is a lost tradition.” Facing the increasing attention to standardized test scoresstandardized tests 标准化考试。指那些分数并非原始分数，而是经过整体分数的调整后得到最终分数的考试。 and the education regard to those tests in the modern world, teachers can never emphasize the inspiring teaching too much.参考译文： 我不同意严格的老师比幽默的老师更有效率的说法，因为在衡量“效率”的时候，我们应该考虑的是学生学历能力的提高，而不是他们记住了多少老师教的内容。在一个严肃又严厉的老师的课堂上，学生们在紧张的气氛下被迫学习，这对他们的精神的活跃性是十分有害的。这样学习一点也不愉快，反而是可怕的，强制性的，有时候甚至是危险的劳动淘气的学生会被惩罚。与此相反，幽默又和蔼的老师能把课堂变得有趣，也能使学生在无压力的情况下思考和提问。正因为学生扮演着更为主动的角色，这样的老师所教的内容令人印象深刻。 严格使老师和学生之间建立一种教条式的关系，老师一味地要求学生服从其规定，为了无数的考试和练习而记忆课本上的内容。许多教育家都曾规劝老师们放弃教条式的教学方式。用英国政治家Lytton的话说，“最优秀的教师是建议者而不是教条式的人，他们启发听众，使其产生自学的愿望。”无独有偶，苏格拉底也曾说过，“我不曾教过任何人任何东西，我只能让他们思考。”从这个意义上来讲，幽默亲切的老师至少能够允许学生思考和提问，因此是更合格的老师。 正如以上所提到的那样，幽默感和亲切和蔼能使学生感到更舒服，在课堂上也更活跃。然而作为一个老师，应该注意，保持他/她对学生一定的影响是必要的，这使得老师能够令人信服并被学生所信任。容易相处永远都不能等同于把所有的错误都置之不理， “教学并不是一门失传的艺术，而对教学的重视却是逝去的传统。”面对当今世界越来越被看重的标准化考试以及那些针对这些考试的教育，教师们再怎么强调启发式教学也不为过了。2. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Classmates are a more important influence than parents on a childs success in school. (2006-12-1)对于一个孩子在学校的成功而言，同班同学是比父母更重要的因素。同意与否？结构：不同意该观点。一个孩子在学校的成功有很多因素，好的习惯，自信心以及课下学到的知识都与家长密切相关，而同学起到的作用还不能与之相比。1. 家长帮助孩子养成好的习惯。早睡早起，少吃有害零食，做课堂笔记，复习有计划等；2. 家长可以培养孩子好的心态。在他成功时提醒他不要得意忘形，在他失败时鼓励他；3. 在家也可以教孩子很多东西，很多学龄前就开始了。语言培养直接影响上学后的理解能力。比如学习的方法，在学校的礼仪态度，在多人面前讲话的能力等。For a child, classmates are many but parents are unique. The former spend a great many hours with him/her together during school time, while the latter help to build his/her good habits and proper confidence, and teach him/her extra knowledge, which has a great important influence on his/her performanceperformance n. 表演，表现； perform v。表演，表现；academic performance 指学业成绩；straight-A students 优等生 at school.Good habits are indispensable for success at school and in the future, yet they are easier to be given up than the bad ones. Parents who live with their kids and play a convincing role could help them in developing, maintaining the good ones, such as keeping regular hours, avoiding junk food, no procrastination, early preparation for tests, etc. In terms of good habits, the kid together with peers tends to be more perverseperverse adj. 任性的，乖张的 since they could help each other to pick up the bad habit again and distance themselves rapidly fromdistance oneself from 使自己远离 self-disciplines.Parents could help their children cultivate a positive and healthy attitude to face up withface up with 相当于confront或者face；in the face of 面对 various kinds of situations. For achievements, parents could prevent them from being too conceited, in spite of the compliment from their classmates. When it comes to a frustration, parents may be the most important voice to encourage the depressed children, saying that “Defeat never comes to any man until he admits it”, “Mistakes are the portals of discovery”, and if necessary, telling a history of some celebrity of how he/she faced defeat with courage. This is hardly what any classmate can do.Besides, all the children learn a lot of extra school knowledge from their parents, which begins a long time before the children meet their classmates in elementary school. Excellent linguistic ability, particularly, which can be largely attributed to parents diligent training, directly determines the childrens intelligence of comprehension at school. It is natural that the faster the children understand the teacher, the more they learn. Other skills that could be trained by the parents include the methodology in study, the capability of speaking publicly and the social etiquette.social etiquette 相当于manners 或 courtesy 礼仪，理解; table manners 餐桌礼仪；courtesy 还有客套之意 For the reasons above, parents are a more important influence on childrens success at school. However, this may not continue to be true after they grow up when they could have their true friends that share a lot of values and goals and they may find a classmates advice more valuable than that from their parents.参考译文： 对一个孩子来说，同学有很多，但父母是独一无二的。前者和他/她在学校一起度过很多时间，而后者帮助他/她建立好的习惯，培养正确的心态，还教会他/她很多额外的知识，而这些对他/她在学校里的表现有非常重要的影响。 好习惯对于在校及将来的成功来说都不可或缺，然而他们比坏习惯容易失去。父母和孩子们住在一起，而且更有说服力，能够帮助他们养成和保持好的习惯，比如有规律的作息，不吃垃圾食品，不拖延，提早复习考试等。就好习惯这点来说，孩子和伙伴们在一起的时候倾向变得更加任性，因为他们帮助彼此养成坏习惯，很快离自立越来越远。 父母能够帮助孩子面对不同状况时，采取正确而健康的态度。有了成就时，父母可以防止孩子过于自大，而同学则齐声赞扬。有了挫折时，对于沮丧的孩子，父母可能是最重要的鼓励声音，说着“直到承认失败才算真的失败，”“错误是发现的入口”这样的话，有必要时还讲一些历史名人怎样用于面对失败的故事。这些都是同学很难做到的。 除此之外，所有的孩子都从父母那里学到很多学校不教的知识，而这从很早就开始了，远远早于他们上小学认识同学的时间。特别是优秀的语言能力很大程度上归功于家长的不懈努力，而它直接决定了孩子上学时的理解能力。懂得越快，学的越多是很自然的事情。其他父母可以训练的技能包括学习方法，公开讲话的能力以及社会礼仪等。 基于以上原因，父母对孩子学习方面的成功的影响更大。然而在他们长大后则不一定了。长大以后他们会有一些有共同价值观和目标的真正的朋友，他们可能觉得同学给出的建议比父母给出的更有用。3. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Grades (marks) encourage students to learn. (2006-12-3, 2008-2-16)分数激励学生学习，同意与否？ 结构： 不同意该观点。即使打分的确有激励作用，它也只是鼓励学生记住老师教的东西和应付考试。并不是真正的学习。1. 很难真正公平的打分。所以分数有误导作用，不鼓励学生学补考的内容；2. 打分可能受到老师个人因素的影响，尤其是大班；3. 分数对所谓好学生的影响：追求分数而忽视个人能力的培养。 It is in elementary school that students performances start to be graded. There are lots of discussions among students, teachers, and parents about gradingsome favor it while some not, but the fact is that every teacher continues with it, as if something dangerous would happen if they did not. I think that even if grading does encourage something, it encourages the students to memorize only what the teacher requires for tests. This is not equivalent to true learning. First of all, there is no absolutely fair and rational grading, which makes grading somehow misleading. For example, a student who loves a subject a lot and does lots of work, regardless of how much the teacher asks for the exam. Another one concentrates only on what is required for the exam. Though they are equally intelligent, of course the latter strategy of preparation is more efficient and therefore is likely to be favored in grading. Then how can the “loving this subject and learning a lot” student be punished somehow and then be discouraged? The teacher only sees the performance that he/she wants, but for some students there is more work done.Moreover, the grading itself might be influenced by the teachers preference of some over others, maybe because some often come to him/her to chat or to ask questions and make themselves familiar to the teacher, while the rest may not be that talkativeTalkative adj. 健谈的. The extreme case is in the large class. When a class has over 200 students (it is true in lost of top universities in some countries), it is impossible for the professor to know every student, or even assign some projects as homeworkthe more complicated the homework is, the more time-consuming it is for the reviewing and grading. So, the result is that the students are asked to do only homework like solving several problems, which can be done according to examples on the textbook or just by copying others.Finally we can take a look at what good grades do to “good students”. After years of excellent academic performance, the straight-A students work in some business or start their own research activities. Imagine用一个场景来阐释观点用imagine祈使句 how they feel when there is suddenly no grading. They feel their history of excellence means nothing here, and they are at a loss of what to pursue. With no digits to compare, what can they do if they still want to be the best? However, for the students without a beautiful transcripttranscript n. 成绩单。关于学业成绩的若干说法：academic performance/records, grades, GPA, publications, awards, scholarships, they may be frustrated, thinking about what can compensate for it. They may turn to develop other skills which are often helpful at work.Comparing with each other to form a ranking list is not important any more when people work. Everyone has a different skill set and that is why people should collaborate. Just be yourself and that is fine, but it may be too late for straight-A students to learn this.参考译文： 从小学开始学生的学业就被用分数衡量。对此许多学生，家长，老师都议论纷纷，有人喜欢它，也有人不喜欢它，但事实是老师们都继续打着分，就像不打分就会出什么事情一样。我认为即使打分确实有鼓励作用，它也只是鼓励学生记住老师教的内容，为准备考试而已，这和真正的学习并不等同。 首先，要做到绝对公平而理性的打分是不可能的，因此打分多少有点误导。举例来说，一个学生十分喜欢某个科目，很努力地去学，不管老师对于考试的要求是多少，而另一个则只集中精力于考试考察的东西上。虽然两个人智力上相当，理所当然后者的策略更有效率，也会的分更高。那么热爱这个科目，并且努力学很多东西的学生却多多少少被惩罚了。也会失望，这怎么公平呢？老师只看到他/她想要的表现，但其实一些学生付出了额外的努力。 此外，分数也会受到老师个人偏见的应先跟着可能是由于某些学生常来找老师聊天，问问题，老师更熟悉他们，而其他学生可能不太健谈的缘故。极端的情况是在大班，当一个班有超过200名学生时（确实存在于一些国家的顶尖大学中），对于教授来说认识每个学生是不可能的，甚至留一些项目作为作业都不可能，因为作业越复杂，评阅和打分就越花时间。因此，结果是只要求学生做几道题而已，只是通过看看书上例子或者抄别人的作业可以完成了 最后我们可以看一下分数对于所谓好学生的影响。在多年出色的学业成绩以后，优等生们开始在公司工作或开始自己的研究。想象一下突然没有打分了他们感觉会如何。他们感到辉煌的历史现在一文不值，对于自己该追求什么茫然若失。没有可以用于比较的数字，那么仍要成为最好该怎么做呢？然而，对于那些没有优异成绩单的学生来说，他们可能感到沮丧，然后思考不久的方法。他们可能转而去培养其他的能力，常常在工作中能派上用场。 互相之间比较然后列出一个排名表在工作中已经不再重要了。每个人都有自己的特别的技能，这正是人们应该合作的原因。只要做自己就好了，但对于优等生们来说知道这个可能已经太晚了。4. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Technology makes peoples life more complicated. (2008-02-23, 2009-06-21)技术让人们的生活变得更复杂。同意与否？结构： 不同意作者的观点1. 科技进步使生活便利：飞机，汽车使得出行方便快捷，网络使得通信和信息检索方便快捷，机器解放人力；2. 科技进步使工作便利：统计软件能够解决繁重的计算；3. 让步：但是科技进步也使生活复杂，任务集成，更多的信息和知识要掌握更新，生活节奏加快。 Nowadays, the speedy advancement of technology has revolutionized our daily life thoroughly and undoubtedly. Along with the development of modern high technology, some people hold the opinion that life has been simplified, whereas others might disagree with them. Then the question has been put forward, “Do those novel novel adj. 新奇的innovations with high tech make our life more complicated?” As far as I am concerned, the answer to this question should be no for the following reasons. In the first place, peoples daily life has been progressively easy and more relaxing with the assistance of highly developed technology. Modern transportation could enable people to travel from one place to the opposite side of the Earth within no more than half of the day comfortably by airplanes. Private vehicles make it possible to spend weekends in the neighboring cities or suburb areas nearby at any time without wasting energy or time to queue to purchase train tickets. In addition, it is no longer necessary for people to wait several months to correspond with friends or relatives living far away by the considerable convenience brought about by computer and the Internet. Google service is able to provide a mass volume of serviceableserviceable adj. 有用的，可用的 information taking a tenth of a second merely. Furthermore, people could enjoy more precious time with families by assigning exhausting housework to the machines. Hence, it is undoubtedly that our modern life has been increasingly simple. In the second place, the burden of work has been alleviatedalleviate v. 减轻，减缓 with the up-to-date development of technology. Take one of my own experiences for example. Processing uncountable data according to statistical principles, people engaging in statistics and accounting industry have to allocate the majority of their working time to conduct calculation repeatedly. It is evitable for them to make mistakes about those burdensome decimals and figures after computing continuously for several hours. Fortunately, the working contents and forms have been transformed comprehensively since the computer has been invented. With the aid of well-developed statistical software, such as SPSS and SAS, which are able to solve the calculation in a few seconds with high accuracy, the date processing tends to be the easiest section of researchers job. Admittedly, in order to keep pace with keep pace with 与并驾齐驱the rapid development of technology, people have to shoulder the pressure of grasping new knowledge and skills. Hence, life and work presently have become more complicated in some peoples opinions. However, as long as the further convenience and comfortable life those novel inventions could lead to are reckoned, it is safe to conclude that the development of modern technology is worth the paying out in advance. In short, with the benefits of contemporary technology, modern life has become much easier and more comfortable.参考译文： 现在，毫无疑问，技术的飞速进步给我们的日常生活带来了革命性的变化。随着现代科学技术的发展，一些人认为我们的生活被简化了，而另一些人则不这么认为。因此，这样的一个问题被提了出来：高科技带来的革新是否让我们的生活变得更复杂了？基于以下的这些原因，我对这一问题持否定态度。 首先，在高科技的辅助下，人们的日常生活变得越来越简单和舒适。现代的交通工具能够让人们在半天之内乘飞机从地球的一端到地球的另一端。私家车的出现使得人们能够在任何的时间在临近的城市或着郊区度周末，而不必浪费时间和精力排队购买火车票。另外，由于电脑和网络的出现，人们不用再花上数月等到来自远方的亲友的消息。Google能够使人们在眨眼之间获得大量的信息，进步一步说，通过把累人的家务劳动分派给机器，人们能够更多的享受和家人在一起的珍贵时间。因此，毫无疑问，我们的现代生活已经变得越来越简单。 其次，技术的日新月异的发展已经减轻了工作的负担。以我自己的亲身经历为例。从事统计和会计方面工作的人在过去如果要按照统计的原理处理大量数据，大部分时间都在进行重复运算。对于他们而言，在持续计算数个小时后，他们难以避免地会在计算中出现问题。幸运的是，自从电脑问世以来，工作的内容和形式被改变了，先进的统计软件，比如SPSS和SAS，能够在几秒钟之内准确解决计算问题；在它们的辅助下，数据处理成了研究者工作中最简单的一部分。 我们必须承认，为了能够跟上技术迅猛发展的速度，人们必须要不断掌握新的知识和技术。在这个过程中，人们不得不承受压力。因此，在一些人的眼里，现在的生活和工作已经变的越来越复杂。但是，只要考虑到这些技术发明能够为生活带来的便利和舒适，我们就能够很有把握地认为现代技术的发展是值得我们提前为之付出的。 简而言之，由于现代技术带给现代生活的好处，现代生活已经变的简单和舒适多了。5. Do you agree or disagree with following statement? Printed books will no longer exist in the future. (2007-08-04,2009-03-29)未来不再有纸质书本的存在。同意与否？结构： 不同意该观点，未来纸质书本和电子书本将会共存。1. 电子书使用方便，环保，在电脑和网络的辅助下电子书会变得越来越流行；2. 纸质书本因其性能稳定，便于携带和阅读而同样会继续存在下去。范文：Nowadays, with the advancement of technology, there have been increasingly types of reading materials in present life. For example, electronic books tend to be an alternativealternative n. 选择，可供选择的事物 of the traditional printed books. There are furious controversies about their specific advantages as well as their prospect of development. Some people argue that printed books would be substituted substitute v. 代替，取代。 substitute A for B用A取代Bby the electronic ones in the future, whereas others disagree with that. As far as I am concerned, considering numerous advantages of both of them, it is reasonable to positposit v. 假定，假设 that electronic books and the traditional ones would coexist in the world in the future for the following reasons.On the one hand, the electronic books, due to the convenience they could bring about and their character of being eco-friendlyeco-friendly adj. 环保的, appear to be progressively popular with the aid of computer science and Internet. The convenient features could be demonstrated through the portability and space-saving. As we all know, the printed edition of Webster Dictionary necessitatesnecessitate v. 使成为必要 at least one backpack to carry around while its electronic counterpart could be saved in mobile phones by several decades Kilobytes, which makes looking up new words at any time and at any place be realized thoroughly. Furthermore, since no paper is involved in producing electronic books, they tend to be much more eco-friendly than printed books by preventing uncountable acres of forest from being hewed.On the other hand, the most palpablepalpable adj. 明显的 benefits of printed books should be assigned to its stability for storage and suitability of reading. It has been universally accepted that the printed books are more reliable to store than the modern electronic ones, despite the fact that they usually occupy more sizable spaces.
