to the interviewee,its difficult to strike a balance between maintaining the educationalquality and making sure as many people as possible receive universityeducation.In the past years,China has been confronted with the same problem.The university enrollment has been on the increase and someinstitutions of higher learning do not have enough teachers andteaching facilities,thus affecting the educational quality.Task 3:Lets group work!VI.Further Listening and SpeakingListening Task:.word 可编辑.专业.专注.Task1:Problems with our educational systemScript:Hi,everybody.My topic today is Problems with our educationalsystem.I disagree on a lot of the ways that things have happened for a longtime in our educational system.It seems that educators just want to give standardized tests,which focus only on academic performance and neglect studentsabilities and interest in other areas.I think there are a lot of people who are very intelligent,but havent had the opportunities they could have had if they hadlearned in a broader-minded educational system.I feel that a lot of courses that students are required to take in highschool are too academic,and,as a result,many kids have lost their interest in learning.Educators often fail torecognize various kinds of intelligence.They simply exert a lot of pressure on students to be as well-roundedas possible.I think being well-rounded isnt really possible.And as a consequence,some students I believe to be intelligent cantget into good colleges if they,you know,havent scored well on the math section,even if they arebrilliant writers.Another thing that disturbs me is that the so-called weak students areseparated from the rest of the school.Some kids are kept in a separate class if their grades are lower thanothers.And theyre very aware of their social position,you know.I think it causes them to act in a way that is not really positive.Theyre just acting in a way they are expected.Often their grades gofrom bad to worse.And thats pretty sad.I think that many of the kids in those classes are intelligent,but they never actually realize their potential because of the way theyare treated early on in their education.Keys:(1)standardized

confident that on the weekend before thefinal,they decided to go up to the University of Virginia and party with somefriends there.They had a great time and didnt make it back to school until earlyMonday morning.Rather than taking the final then,they decided to find their professor after the final and explain to himwhy they missed it.They explained that they had planned to come back in time for the finalexam,but,unfortunately,they had a flat tire on the way back and didnt have aspare.As a result,they missed the final.The professor thought it over and then agreed they could make up thefinal the following day.The guys were relieved and elated.The next day,the professor placed them in separate rooms,handedeach of them a paper,and told them to begin.They looked at the first problem,worth five points.It was a simple question on a chemical reaction.Cool,they all thought at the same time,each one in his separateroom,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 tireswas flat?Keys:(1)course.word 可编辑.专业.专注.(2)quizzes(3)semester(4)confident(5)party(6)make(7)missed(8)they had a

is the oldest institute of higher learning in theUnited States.Founded 16 years after the arrival of the Pilgrims at Plymouth,the university has grown from nine students with a single master to thepresent enrollment of more than 21,000 students,including undergraduates and students in 10 graduate and professionalschools.Over 14,000 people work at Harvard,including more than 2,100 facultymembers.Harvard has produced eight American presidents and many NobelPrize winners.During its early years,Harvard offered a classic academic course basedon the model of English universities,but consistent with the prevailing Puritan philosophy.Although many of its early graduates became ministers in Puritanchurches throughout New England,the university was never formally affiliated with a specific religiousgroup.Under President Pusey,Harvard started what was then the largestfundraising 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,creatednew professorships,and expanded Harvards physical facilities.NeiI L.Rudenstine took office as Harvards 26th president in 1991.As part of an overall effort to achieve greater coordination among theuniversitys schools and faculties,.word 可编辑.专业.专注.Rudenstine encouraged academic planning and identified some ofHarvards main intellectual priorities.He also stressed the importance of the universitys excellence inundergraduate education,the significance of keeping Harvards doors open to students fromfamilies of different economic backgrounds,and the task of adapting the research university to an era of both rapidinformation 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 fromWestminster.Now thanks for joining us this lunchtime,Mr.Lammy.How do these cuts.tie in with your much trumpetedcommitment to increasing higher education?Interviewee:Well,I think its important to remind viewers that we willspend well over 12 billion pounds on higher education this year and toalso say that there will be more students at university next year thanever before in our history.But what is important is that when they get to university,is that theyhave good facilities,good buildings,that they have good contact with their lecturers and,for students frompoorer backgrounds that they receive a grant.And you know 40 percent of students who are going to university arein receipt of some grants.So we have to plan.Host:But theres going to be less money next year.Thats the bottomline,isnt it?Interviewee:Er,we are asking universities to make a one percent cut intheir teaching grant.Thats 51 million out of a total budget of over five billion.Look,I think there are families across the country preparing forChristmas spending a bit less and theyre,you know,its a lot more than one percent that theyre,theyre feeling.So I think this is reasonable to ask universities if we are to ensure thatwe can continue to send more young people to university and weremain committed to that.word 可编辑.专业.专注.Host:And briefly,what about these two-year degrees?This is areduction in standards,isnt it?Interviewee:Well,we,we,we.Its important in this country that weremember that students arent just the classic 18-to 21-year-oldundergraduates.We want mature students.We want more parttime students and overthe last few years weve been growing the number of foundationdegree,two-year degrees that ensure that transition into high university andhigh level skills.Thats what we want to support and thats what were indicating in thegrant letter that weve sent to universities over the last few days.Host:OK.David

today?Ed:Today.I think damage to the ozone layer is a big problem,and anotherproblem 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,andsome TV programs,too.They talk about environmental safety and stuff likethat.Martha:Do you think students should learn more about the environment atschool?Ed:I think so.So,as they grow older,they can be more aware of all the.word 可编辑.专业.专注.problems that are going on,and also to prevent more problems fromoccurring.Martha:If you could create a new law to help the environment,what wouldit be?Ed:A new law for the environment?Um.Id probably say that when peoplethrow away their cigarette butts,they have to throw them into the garbagebin,not just throw them everywhere because its just littering and I hate that.So they should be fined if they throw them on the floor or on the ground.Martha:Thats a good idea.What do you personally do to

water is discoloredand smelly,you know the river has been polluted,and there are four main possiblecauses for it.First,fertilizer.If large amounts of fertilizer or farm waste drain into a river,theconcentrationsofnitrateandphosphateinthewaterincreaseconsiderably.Algae use these substances to grow rapidly,turning the watergreen.This massive growth of algae leads to pollution.When the algae die,they arebroken down by the action of the bacteria,which quickly multiply,using up allthe oxygen in the water and therefore causing the death of fish.Second,industrial waste.Factories sometimes discharge chemical waste intorivers.Examples of such pollutants include cyanide,lead,copper,and mercury.These substances may enter the water in such high concentrations that fishand other animals are killed immediately.Sometimes the pollutants enter thefood chain and accumulate until they reach toxic levels,eventually killing fishand other animals.Third,oilpollution.Ifoilentersaslow-movingriver,itformsa.word 可编辑.专业.专注.rainbow-colored film over the entire surface,preventing oxygen fromentering the water.Fourth,warm water.Industry often uses water for cooling processes,sometimes discharging large quantities of warm water back into rivers.Ahigher temperature of the water lowers the level of dissolved oxygen andupsets the balance of life in the water.Keys:1.D 2.A 3.B 4.C 5.DTask3:Curbing carbon emissionsScript:Although it is not an easy task,China is striving to fulfill the promise to cut itscarbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by 40 to 45 percent in the next 10years.Zhang Guobao,Director of the National Energy Administration,said,Thegovernment puts great emphasis on seeking harmonious developmentbetween cities and the environment,and is readjusting the energy structureby giving priority to the development of clean and low-carbon energies,including hydroelectric,nuclear,wind,and solar power.Government authorities have closed small,coal-fired plants with a totalcapacity of 60.06 million kilowatts in the past four years.This years target ofclosing 10 million kilowatts of capacity will be achieved by August.We have promised to the international community that 15 percent of ourpower will be generated from nonfossil sources by 2020,Director Zhang said.word 可编辑.专业.专注.At present,non-fossil energy accounts for only 7.8 percent.China is making efforts to increase the proportion of clean energy in its totalenergy consumption.Statistics show that China invested US$34.6 billion inclean energy last year,exceeding the United States which invested US$18.6billion.Thus,China has become the world leader in generating clean energy.Five years earlier,Chinas investment in clean energy was only US$2.5 billion.However,Chinas carbon emission reduction target cannot be achieved easily.The shift to a low-carbon economy might be met at a cost to society.Forinstance,more than 400,000 people were laid off as a result of the shutdownof small coal-fired power plants in the past four years.Many studies indicatethat the effort to curb greenhouse gas emissions may delay Chinasdevelopment,affect peoples income,and lead to unemployment.Keys:1.D 2.D 3.A 4.B 5.CIV.Speaking OutMODEL1MODEL2MODEL3V.Let?s TalkTask 1:Disappointment over climate negotiationsKeys:1)doesnt really actually commit anyone to doing
