The issue of separating science and arts education is getting heated up as debate spreads

across the country, which attracts tens of thousands of votes.

One possible version：

Should Science and Arts Education Be Separated?

The issue of separating science and arts education is getting heated up as debate spreads across the country, which attracts tens of thousands of votes.

About 50% of the people interviewed think it unwise to get arts and science separated in high school. In their opinion, a real expert needs a wide range of knowledge. With the development of modern society, multi-skilled people are in great demand. However, another 43% of them insist that they should be separated so that students can concentrate on some subjects and become experts. Besides, they will not be overburdened as before. 

As far as I’m concerned, a comprehensive education is better than a separated one. A strong ability in both science and arts is helpful for the long-term development of individuals and the society as a whole. Worldwide, only in China science and arts are separated, which has had a bad effect on students’ sound development. It's high time we changed this model.

E

    Language is a major problem for the European Union(EU)．The agreement or treaty (條約) which created the organization that eventually became the EU, the Treaty of Rome，stated that each country’s language must be treated equally．The original six countries had only three languages between them：French, German and Dutch . However, there are now 15 countries in the EU, with a total of 12 languages. EU documents must be translated into all these languages，and at official meetings, the speeches must be translated into all the languages by interpreters.

    All this translating is very expensive and time consuming . It is said that nearly half of all employees of the EU are engaged in translating documents and speeches, and nearly half of the EU’s administrative (管理方面的) costs are spent on this task．In the near future it is probable that several more countries, most of them having their own languages, will join the EU, thus making the situation even worse.

    The problem is not just cost：there are practical difficulties as well. With 12 languages，there are 132 possible “translation situations” that might be needed．It is often difficult to find people in the right place at the right time who can translate from (for example) Danish into Greek, or Dutch into Portuguese, at a high professional standard.

    In practice, the problem has been made less severe by the use of English in many contacts between EU officials，since almost all of them speak some English. However, any action to reduce the number of official languages (perhaps to four or five) would be a blow to the pride of the smaller countries. Another commonly suggested solution is to make English the official language for all EU business. However, this is strongly resisted by powerful member countries like France and Germany.

72．What’s the main purpose of this passage?

    A．To give a solution to a problem．

    B．To find out a problem and show how severe it is

    C．To criticize the European Union for inefficiency．

    D．To show that the problem cannot be solved．

73．According to the writer，the use of English in contacts among EU officials has _________.

    A．a(chǎn)ngered the officials who don’t speak English

    B．increased the number of official languages

    C．reduced the effect of the problem

    D．been supported by powerful member countries

74．The writer mentions “Danish into Greek” as an example of ________.

    A．a(chǎn) situation that might be difficult to deal with

    B．a(chǎn) situation that occurs at times

    C．one of the 12 situations that requires an interpreter

    D．languages easily being interpreted

75．The writer suggests that if the number of official languages were reduced, ________

    A．the EU would not know which official languages to choose

    B．countries whose languages were not used officially would be unhappy

    C．only easy languages would be used officially   

D．the smaller member countries would be pleased

B

   I started teaching English abroad when I was 22 , soon after I graduated from university. I’m 35 now and have been doing it ever since. If you want to travel the world, there’re a few ways to earn money while you do so. You can pick fruit, pull pints or teach English. The third one has definitely suited me best. I taught in Russia, Argentina, Spain and Slovakia and stayed an average of two years in each country.

   Our flat is in the Sanlitun area, not far from the main football stadium , and I work at various schools in the city. The demand for English language teachers is staggering. Basically , if a Chinese person wants a job with an international company such as Hewlett Packard, then English is a must .

   In China there’s no shortage of work, though the pay can vary. If you teach English as a second language at an international school, you can earn 22,000 yuan a month, about

￠2,200 or￡1,500. If you’re short of cash, you can always do a bit of extra private tuition, which pays really well—about ￡30 an hour .

   The best thing about Beijing is that you aren’t going to be lonely. There’s a huge expat (僑民) community here, mostly based in Sanlitun and growing all the time. I don’t know my way around Dublin or London very well, but I can tell you Beijing is the restaurant capital of the world .

49. Why did the author stay in Beijing to teach English ?

  A. He wanted to make a fortune .        B. Beijing made a good impression on him .

  C. He wanted to live in China for ever .   D. He wanted to travel around the world .

50. The underlined word “staggering” in Paragraph 2 means  “________”.

  A. very weak   B. often changing  C. great   D. unsteady

51. It can be inferred from the passage that the author ____ .

  A. often felt lonely in Sanlitun     B. was satisfied with living in China

  C. was very familiar with Dublin   D. liked Chinese restaurants best
