  Issue

  Education will be truly effective only when it is specifically designed to meet the individual needs and interests of each student.

  Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take.In developing and supporting your position,you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position.

  題目翻譯

  只有針對每個學生的需要和興趣，教育才真正有效。

  提綱分析

  Position: There is no doubt that education should pay more attention on the needs and interests of students, but it is impossible for education to satisfy each individual.

  1、 從教育的目的上討論，興趣對教育的重要性;對個人，愛因斯坦有句至理名言：“興趣是最好的老師”;對社會，教育的目的就是為社會培養各種人才，如果不注重學生興趣，那么他們到社會不可能盡其所能。有時候可能埋沒人才。比如一味的強調分數，那么對發明有興趣的學生可能會失去動力，e.g.哥白尼以前學醫，愛因斯坦小時候學習并不好，牛頓因為一個蘋果而想到萬有引力等等。

  2、 學校須努力發現并培養學生的興趣。因為有些學生沒有意識到自己的興趣，所以學校要在這方面作引導。E.g.學校可以通過開設多種選修課，豐富學生課余生活并組織各類社團活動，增加各類獎學金等方法來鼓勵學生培養自己的興趣。

  3、 但是，鼓勵興趣的培養不等于學校就要根據每個學生的興趣來進行教育，這既無意義也不現實。一方面老師是有限的，而學生的興趣是各種各樣的;另一方面，年輕的學生并沒有足夠的判斷力來決定自己該學什么，比如數學，有些學生不喜歡學，但是能直接完全放棄嗎?過分強調學生興趣勢必會造成教學的紊亂，而且學生的興趣不同階段可能發生改變。

  4、總結：是要重視興趣對教育發揮作用的重要性，但也不可以一味以學生個人愛好為轉移。

  Argument

  The following appeared in a magazine article about planning for retirement."Clearview should be a top choice for anyone seeking a place to retire, because it has spectacular natural beauty and a consistent climate. Another advantage is that housing costs in Clearview have fallen significantly during the past year, and taxes remain lower than those in neighboring towns. Moreover, Clearview's mayor promises many new programs to improve schools,streets,and public services. And best of all, retirees in Clearview can also expect excellent health care as they grow older, since the number of physicians in the area is far greater than the national average."

  Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.

  題目翻譯

  由于Clearview的天然景色和溫和氣候， 它應該成為那些為退休后尋找生活地的人的首選。另一項好處是，Clearview的房價在去年顯著下降，稅賦一直比鄰近城市低。而且，Clearview的市長承諾了很多新方案來改善學校、街道和公共服務。最好的一點是，Clearview的退休人員也可以在老年時享受到出色的醫療服務， 因為該地區的醫生數量高于全國平均水平。

  提綱分析

  1. Clearview的房價下降和賦稅比鄰近城市低，并不能足以說明該城市生活花銷少或宜居，且缺少具體數據比較等。

  2. 雖然提及市長的承諾，但只是說要改善，并不明確了解新方案尤其是涉及公共服務等方面的具體舉措有什么，也不確定承諾何時成真，所以并無法吸引退休人員。

  3. 并不能因為該地區醫生數量多，就直接得出醫療服務出色這個結論，人數和質量并不能成正比。而且如 Clearview 原本人口就很多，那醫生數量高也是正常的，退休人員過去居住也并感受不到什么優勢。

  短篇閱讀

  Few mathematical constructs seem as conceptually simple as that of randomness.According to the traditional definition, a number is random if it is chosen purely as the result of a probabilistic mechanism such as the roll of a fair die.I'd their ground breaking work regarding complexity and the limitations of formal systems,mathematicians Gregory Chaitin and A.N.Kolmogorov force us to consider this last claim more closely.Consider two possible outcomes of throwing a fair die three times: first,1,6,and 2;second 3,3,and 3.Now let us construct two three-member sets based on the results.Though the first set—{1,6,2}—intuitively seems more random than the second—{3,3,3},they are each as likely to occur, and thus according to the accepted definition,must be considered equally random.This unwelcome result prompts Chaitin and Kolmogorov to suggest the need for a new standard of randomness,one that relies on the internal coherence of the set as opposed to its origin.

  1. Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage as whole?

  A. A concept is introduced; a traditional definition is put forward; a thought experiment is described; a new definition is proposed; the traditional definition is amended as a result.

  B. A concept is introduced;a traditional definition is supported by authorities;a thought experiment is described; the implications of the experiment are discussed.

  C. A concept is introduced;a traditional definition is considered and rejected;a thought experiment is described; a new definition is proposed.

  D. A concept is introduced; a traditional definition is called into question; a thought experiment is described; the implications of the experiment are discussed.

  E. A concept is introduced;authorities are called in to reevaluate a definition;a thought experiment is described; the implications of the experiment are considered

  and rejected.

  答案：C

  解析：根據文章主旨，文章首先介紹了隨機這個概念，對應選項C中：…concept…introduced…;然后再詳細展開，并且說了這個定義的不足，對應選項C中：…traditional…considered and rejected;接著舉例介紹了擲骰子實驗，對應選項 C中：…thought experiment…;最后說要有基于內在統一的新定義出現才可以：對應選項 C中：…new definition…。

  2. Consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.Which of the following is an inference made in the passage above?

  A. The results of the same probabilistic mechanism will each be as likely as the other to occur.

  B. According to the traditional definition of randomness, two numbers should be considered equally random if they result from the same probabilistic mechanism.

  C. Different probabilistic mechanisms are likely to result in similar outcomes.

  答案：B

  解析：注意這不是一道單選題，而是一道針對每個選項是否正確的選擇題。A 選項不夠嚴謹，若是按照傳統定義則為正確，若是按照新定義則為錯誤，所以不能選;B 選項符合傳統定義，只要是從隨機機器里抽選出來的都是隨機的;C 選項錯在 different…mechanisms，原文沒有比較不同的隨機機器。

  長篇閱讀

  Mary Barton, particularly in its early chapters, is a moving response to the suffering of the industrial worker in the England of the 1840s.What is most impressive about the book is the intense and painstaking effort made by the author, Elizabeth Gaskell,to convey the experience of everyday life in working class homes. Her method is partly documentary in nature: the novel includes such features as a carefully annotate reproduction of dialect, the exact details of food prices in an account of a tea party, an itemized description of the furniture of the Bartons’ living room, and”. The interest of this record is considerable, even though the method has a slightly distancing effect.

  As a member of the middle class,Gaskell could hardly help approaching working-class life as an outside observer and a reporter, and the reader of the novel is always conscious of this fact. But there is genuine imaginative re-creation in her accounts of the walk in Green Heys Fields, of tea at the Bartons’ house, and of John Barton and his friend’s discovery of the starving family in the cellar in the chapter “Poverty and Death.” Indeed, for a similarly convincing re-creation of such families’ emotions and responses (which are more crucial than the material details on which the mere reporter is apt to concentrate), the English novel had to wait 60 years for the early writing of D. H. Lawrence. If Gaskell never quite conveys the sense of full participation that would completely authenticate this aspect of Mary Barton, she still brings to these scenes an intuitive recognition of feelings that has its own sufficient conviction.

  The chapter “Old Alice’s History” brilliantly dramatizes the situation of that early generation of workers brought from the villages and the countryside to the urban industrial centers.The account of Job Leigh, the weaver and naturalist who is devoted to the study of biology, vividly embodies one kind of response to an urban industrial environment: an affinity for living things that hardens, by its very contrast with its environment, into a kind of crankiness.The early chapters—about factory workers walking out in spring into Green Heys Fields,about Alice Wilson,remembering in her cellar the twig-gathering for brooms in the native village that she will never again see, about job Leigh, intent on his impaled insects—capture the characteristic responses of a generation to the new and crushing experience of industrialism. The other early chapters eloquently portray the development of the instinctive cooperation with each other that was already becoming an important tradition among workers.

  1. It can be inferred from examples given in the last paragraph of the passage that which of the following was part of “the new and crushing experience of industrialism” for many members of the English working class in the nineteenth century.

  A. Extortionate food prices

  B. Geographical displacement

  C. Hazardous working conditions

  D. Alienation from fellow workers

  E. Dissolution of family ties

  答案：C

  解析：根據文章最后一段，織布工和自然主義者 Job Leigh 看到被刺穿的昆蟲非常著急，我們可以推測出織布工廠會造成傷害十分危險，對應選項 C 中：Hazardous working conditions。

  2. It can be inferred that the author of the passage believes that Mary Barton might have been an even better novel if Gaskell

  A. concentrated on the emotions of a single character

  B. made no attempt to re-create experiences of which she had no firsthand knowledge

  C. made no attempt to reproduce working-class dialects

  D. grown up in an industrial city

  E. managed to transcend her position as an outsider

  答案：E

  解析：根據文章第二段最后一句，如果 Gaskell 可以在描述中加入足夠多的參與感，Mary Barton 會顯得更加真實。再根據文章第二段第一句，我們知道作者 Gaskell 是中產階級，所以寫 Mary Barton 時總有局外人的感覺。結合起來我們知道，如果作者 Gaskell 可以超越自己的身份地位，更有參與感地描述工人階級，Mary Barton 會是一本更好的書，對應選項 E 中：…transcend…position…outsider。

  3. Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude toward Gaskell’s use of the method of documentary record in Mary Barton?

  A. uncritical enthusiasm

  B. Unresolved ambivalence

  C. Qualified approval

  D. Resigned acceptance

  E. Mild irritation

  答案：C

  解析：根據文章第一段最后一句，這樣的描述好處是巨大的，雖然這種描述方法會讓讀者感覺心理距離變遠了。“好處是巨大的”對應選項 C 中：approval，“雖然這種描述方法會讓讀者感覺心理距離變遠了”對應選項 C 中：Qualified。

  4. Which of the following is most closely analogous to Job Leigh in Marry Barton, as that character is described in the passage?

  A. An entomologist who collected butterflies as a child

  B. A small-town attorney whose hobby is nature photography

  C. A young man who leaves his family’s dairy farm to start his own business

  D. A city dweller who raises exotic plants on the roof of his apartment building

  E. A union organizer who works in a textile mill under dangerous conditions

  答案：E

  解析：根據文章最后一段第二句話，我們知道 Job Leigh 是織布工，也是專注于研究生物學的自然主義者，工業化讓他變得對活著的東西從喜歡到偏執。再根據文章最后一段第三句話，我們知道 Job Leigh 對被工業化害死的昆蟲非常擔憂。我們可以從他是織布工的職業推測出他在紡織廠工作，對應選項E 中：works in a textile mill，我們還可以從他總是看到昆蟲被工業化的機器所傷害，推測出他的工作環境很危險，對應選項E 中：under dangerous conditions。

  邏輯閱讀

  Anaerobic glycolysis is a process in which energy is produced, without oxygen,through the breakdown of muscle glycogen into lactic acid and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy provider. The amount of energy that can be produced anaerobically is a function of the amount of glycogen present—in all vertebrates about 0.5 percent of their muscles’wet weight.Thus the anaerobic energy reserves of a vertebrate are proportional to the size of the animal.If,for example,some predators had attacked a 100-ton dinosaur,normally torpid,the dinosaur would have been able to generate almost instantaneously,via anaerobic glycolysis,the energy of 3,000 humans at maximum oxidative metabolic energy production.

  The passage's suggestion that the total anaerobic energy reserves of a vertebrate are proportional to the vertebrate's size is based on which of the following assumption?

  A. larger vertebrates conserve more energy than smaller vertebrates

  B. larger vertebrates use less oxygen per unit weight than smaller vertebrates

  C. the ability of a vertebrate to consume food is a function of its size

  D. the amount of muscle tissue in a vertebrate is directly related to its size

  E. the size of a vertebrate is proportional to the quantity of energy it can utilize

  答案：E

  解析：本文是關于無氧糖酵解產生能量的過程，且提出動物體積越大，所產生的能量儲備也就越多。以恐龍為例，說明其遭遇攻擊所能產生的能量之巨大。題干中問"the total anaerobic energy reserves of a vertebrate are proportional to the vertebrate's size"這一論點是根據哪一條假定推斷出來的，通讀選項不難得出 E。
