第四篇

　　4 Study the following drawing carefully and write an essay in which you should:

　　1. describe the drawing,

　　2. interpret its meaning, and

　　3. make your comment.

　　You should write 160~200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2.

　　該文分為三段。第一段描述圖畫(huà)。第二段分析該現(xiàn)象產(chǎn)生的原因。第三段談該問(wèn)題的解決辦法。In the picture we see a pair of uneven parallel bars. On the high bar there is a word “admission”, and on the low one there is a word “graduation”. Obviously, the drawer wants to draw our attention to a serious problem in higher education.

　　In quite a number of universities and colleges, it is difficult for students to be enlisted—their college entrance examination scores must reach a certain level. But once they become undergraduate students, things totally change in many cases. On the one hand, the authorities have never really established a comprehensive system of quality control. If a student loses interest in study, chances may be that someone will know but no one will care. On the other hand, many teachers have never put the shaping of personality in a place just as important as the teaching of knowledge. When more and more students flood into the classroom, many of them have to abandon the interactive mode and turn back to the traditional mode of cramming. In the end, most students will graduate without too much difficulty as the school does not want to lose face in society.

　　To reverse this unfavorable trend, we have to take strong measures to reform the higher educational system. Educational resources permitting, we can even loose the recruitment standard a little bit. What is important is the quality of the “end product”—if we ever want to create more world�瞗amous universities, we should put emphasis on the development of skills and molding of character ever since the beginning. Only in this way can the university resume its function of cultivating talents and regain the respect that has been nearly lost. 第一段首句與次句描述了圖畫(huà)，第三句將圖畫(huà)中隱含的問(wèn)題定位為高等教育中的嚴(yán)重問(wèn)題。

　　第二段談?wù)摿嗽搯?wèn)題形成的過(guò)程，相當(dāng)細(xì)致。前兩句先說(shuō)學(xué)生進(jìn)入高校相當(dāng)難，需要高考分?jǐn)?shù)達(dá)到標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，但入校后情況就不同了。而后分兩方面談：一方面校方未建立質(zhì)量控制系統(tǒng)；另一方面教師未把人格塑造放在重要位置。學(xué)生人數(shù)暴漲后，教師們又不得不回到填鴨的傳統(tǒng)模式。

　　第三段首句是段落的主題句——要解決問(wèn)題，我們必須改革高等教育體系。第二句講如果教育資源允許，甚至可以將入學(xué)門(mén)檻稍稍降低。第三句講的是應(yīng)從一開(kāi)始就強(qiáng)調(diào)培養(yǎng)技能和塑造個(gè)性的重要性。最后一句是以倒裝句作結(jié)。教育問(wèn)題一直與社會(huì)現(xiàn)象、人生哲理一起構(gòu)成大作文的三大類，近年來(lái)各大類的界限有時(shí)也不再?zèng)芪挤置鳌４蠹叶加卸嗄暝谛�學(xué)習(xí)的經(jīng)歷，只有嘗試從自己和他人成功和失敗的體驗(yàn)中總結(jié)出教育的深層次規(guī)律，才能把握好這類題目。如本題中的“嚴(yán)進(jìn)寬出”的現(xiàn)象實(shí)際上不是科學(xué)的教育方式，如果平時(shí)思考過(guò)這樣的問(wèn)題，寫(xiě)作時(shí)的成功率就會(huì)大大提高了。
