Section 3
Lin Tao, a Chinese university student from Wuhan, talks about what his
school days at different stages were like. Read the first part of the article
carefully and answer the questions that follow. Use the headings to help you
through the article.
Part 1
幼儿园
我三岁的时候被父母送进了家当地的一所幼儿园。幼儿园离家很近，走路
十来分钟就到了。我记得幼儿园里有两个小班、 三个中班和三个大班。 小
班里几乎都是三到四岁的小朋友，中班是四到五岁的小朋友，而大班里学生
的年龄则在五到六岁之间。我的印象里，上学的大部分时间都是由老师带着
学生做游戏，挺有意思的。
小学
六岁时我升入了小学学习。 小学比幼儿园要远一些，不过坐十五分钟左
右的公共汽车就到了。小学里，我们学习的科目可多了，包括语文、数学、
英语、科学、音乐、美术、体育、计算机等。我最喜欢的科目是科学课， 特
别是课余时间还可以到学校图书馆里看许多科幻类的漫画书，有趣极了！虽
然小学的最后两年学习开始变得困难起来，但是我对所学知识还是很 感兴
趣。 我所在的班级同学们都非常友好，如果有同学碰到困难了，大家都会
互相帮助、互相支持。 我非常喜欢我的班级。
初中
十二岁时我升入了初中。那时我学会了骑自行车，爸爸便给我买了一辆。
到学校骑车需要二十来分钟。 不过最大的不同是：初中要比小学大两倍，
学生数量也要比小学多得多；科目也多了不少， 学习难度也增加了。学习
的课程包括思想品德、语文、数学、英语、物理、化学、历史、政治、地
理、生物、体育与健康、信息技术、音乐、美术等十四个科目。所有的科目
当中我最喜欢数学、物理和化学，最不喜欢政治，许多知识都得死记硬背，
无聊极了! 初中的学习生活节奏相当快，一眨眼三年就结束了。班里一些家
庭条件不太好的同学为了给家里减轻经济负担，早一点参加工作，初中一毕
业就进入了职业技术学校学习。但是大部分的同学还是选择继续升入高中，
为考大学做准备。

In this part, Lin Tao continues to talk about his experiences in senior school

Part 2
高中
高中的学习压力很大。与初中相比，学习的难度和强度又增加了很多，比
如说，高一学习的课程就包括了语文、数学、英语、物理、化学、生物、地
理、历史、思想政治、体育与健康、信息技术等十多个科目。我经常要学习
到晚上十点半左右才能睡觉。
高一期末考试结束之后，我们得做出决定高二和高三是学习理科还是文
科。因为我对物理非常感兴趣，希望以后能成为一个物理学家，所以我选择
了 理 科 。 选择 理 科的学 生 除 了学 习数 学 、物理 、 化 学以 外， 还 得 学习 语
文、英语、政治、生物和体育。选择文科的学生则要学习包括物理、化学、
生物在内的所有科目。
升到高三，理科的学生就只学习语文、数学、英语、物理、化学、生物等
六个科目。文科的学生则会学习语文、数学、外语、历史、政治、地理等科
目。
因为面临即将考大学，高三是我高中生活最紧张的一年，周末学校还经常
补课，平时我要学习到很晚才能休息。父母也很理解我在学习上的压力，所
以他们包下了几乎所有的家务活儿。对此我一直心存感激，希望有一天能报
答他们！
高考
因为高考的成败直接影响到一个学生将来的命运，所以它对很多考生来说
也是一生当中最重要的一次考试。2002 年以前高考一直是在 7 月份举行，后
来自 2003 年开始改在 6 月初举行，通常是 6 月 7 日至 6 月 8 日。
大学
2008 年高中毕业后，我参加了高考，考入了我目前所在的大学学习物理
专业。 现在大学的生活比高中轻松多了，有了更多可以 自由支配的时间。
除了学习以外，我还可以结交一些新朋友，做一些兼职工作，甚至还有机会
到全国各地旅游。我很喜欢我的大学生活！不过目前我还不清楚毕业后是继
续攻读硕士还是直接参加工作，可能会继续考研吧！

我来自云南。我明年就要从大学毕业了。我学习的是英文专业。选择
英文有两个原因：一是我从中学起就非常喜欢英语，喜欢看英语电
影，喜欢了解外面的世界；二是云南拥有许多著名的旅游区，比如昆
明民族村、世博园、路南石林、大理、丽江古城、西双版纳等等, 毕业
之后我想从事旅游专业，把云南多姿多彩的自然人文风光介绍给来自
世界各地的朋友。

今年我在上高三。高中的学习压力很大，很多时候我觉得我们都是在
为考试而学，所学的知识缺乏实用性。我想毕业后不如上一所技校，
学习一些实用的技能会更实用些。我想去进驾校，学习驾驶，以后做

马志海
我现在正在读高二。虽然我的很多亲戚朋友都劝我考大学，但是我想
高中毕业后直接去一家厨师培训学校学习烹饪，以后开一家自己的饭
店。我觉得大学并不是唯一的就业出路，况且，我从小就很喜欢烹

我家在浙江。我在大学学习的是商业管理。选择这个专业有两个重要
的原因：第一个原因是我对商业很感兴趣，这可能是受到父亲的影响
吧，他曾经是一家国营企业的经理，经常鼓励我去做些兼职工作，积
累一些实际工作经验；第二个原因是我觉得随着中国的对外改革开放
进一步深入，我相信中国会需要越来越多的商业人才。

记者:
黄华、周小平，你们好！我很高兴你们能接受我的采访。你
们能谈一谈目前的学习情况吗?
黄华:
我每天的学习非常紧张。在学校除了听好课，做好笔记外，
放学后我还得看很多复习资料，做很多家庭作业。高中学习
的科目很多，压力大，不过很多人都觉得上高中的目的就是
为了考上大学，现在虽然付出多一些，累一些，辛苦一些，
也是值得的。
周小平:
我倒不这么认为。虽然目前学生们普遍觉得学习压力过大，
但是我觉得除了学习以外，我们还应该学会如何享受生活。
考大学很重要，但是生活的内容也不应该仅仅局限于没日没
夜地学习啊！学生还应该注重培养乐观的生活态度，保持健
康的身心。所以，除了学习以外，我还经常参加一些学校组
织的体育活动，我相信这对于身心的发展都是有好处的。
记者:
你们能谈一谈周末你们是怎么过的吗？

黄华:
我也同意周小平的看法，做一些适当的体育锻炼对学生的身
心发展是有很多好处的。由于平时的课程很紧张，有时候星
期六学校还要补课，所以周末时间我都会去公园里跑跑步、
看看电影、听听音乐、和同学聊聊天，有时也到餐馆里去美
美地饱餐一顿。
周小平:
周末我喜欢打打篮球、踢踢足球、跑跑步啦。当然了，有时
间也玩玩计算机、听听音乐、看看小说。另外，每个星期天
上午我还在一家超市当临时导购员呢。虽然挣的钱不多，但
对我来说，这也是积累工作经验、体验社会的一个好机会。
记者:
能说一下你们的理想是什么吗？
黄华:
我从小就对文学十分感兴趣，希望将来能成为一名作家。我
想这可能是受父亲的影响吧！他是名中学语文老师，从小对
我的影响就很大。我爱看文学作品，特别是中国古典文学。
我还喜欢看探险类和科幻类的小说。
周小平:
我跟你不太一样。我喜欢听音乐，喜欢玩计算机游戏。今天
很多年轻人都喜欢玩计算机游戏，可以说计算机已经成为了
现代人生活的一部分。我希望以后能上计算机专业，将来从
事网络游戏开发之类的专业。

非常感谢你们俩能接受我的采访。谢谢你们！

我叫罗小莉。初中毕业后我随父母一块儿搬到了英国苏格兰，到现在已经
有三年了。
我出生在中国南方的一个小城市，在那里，我读完了小学和初中。现在，
我正准备考大学。我想学的是绘画专业。
我从小就喜欢绘画，父母也从来没有反对过我绘画。他们见我喜欢，还常
常给我买一些绘画方面的书籍。我对绘画的兴趣也与日俱增，甚至迷恋到了
上语文课时还偷偷地看绘画书的地步，这直接影响到了我的学习成绩。为
此，我经常受到老师的批评。
到了英国后，我跟着这里的当地学生念四年级，相当于国内的高一。刚开
始到学校时我对一切都感到很新鲜，但是同时也很紧张。老师在课堂上所讲
的内容我常常是一句也听不懂，所以经常要随身带着一本电子词典，碰到新
单词时我就把它们输入到电子词典里，晚上做家庭作业时再整理出来，抄到
笔记本上复习。
经过了一年的努力，我慢慢地适应了这儿的教育环境，对学校也不像刚来
时那么陌生了，和同学们相处得也很好。更重要的是，我还能继续选修绘
画。由于我的绘画出众，引起了老师的注意。在老师的精心指导下，不到一
年，我的绘画技巧便有了很大提高，作品也在学校举办的绘画比赛中名列前
茅，甚至还代表学校参加了地区比赛，获得了评委们的一致好评。

想起国内的教育，我觉得中国的应试教育虽然迫使学生努力学习，但是应
试教育的主要目的就是要把学生送进大学。这样便造成了学生学习只是片面
地追求高分数，出现了“高分低能”的现象。同时，学习上的压力也使得像音
乐、美术这类的学科成了应试教育的牺牲品。学生们花了大量时间应付考试
科目，自然再没有多余的精力和时间来发展自己的兴趣爱好了。相比之下，
我觉得这里的教育更加注重挖掘学生潜力、培养学生的自信和创新能力。
比如说，学校会让学生修读不同的科目，扩大知识面，培养各方面的兴趣，
让学生全面发展。除此以外，学校还为学生提供了丰富多彩的课外活动，比
如：摄影、话剧表演、乐器演奏、绘画、舞蹈等等。这样，学生就有机会充
分地培养各种兴趣爱好。我想，这可能正是中国教育目前急需的吧！

Section 1
University entrance exams are very important to many Chinese students.
Since 1977, when the university entrance exams were reinstated after the
Cultural Revolution, the number of students taking university entrance exams
has increased every year. However, the number of students taking university
entrance exams dropped for the first time in 2009. What might have caused
this change? Read the following article, which looks at the causes of this
change, and answer the questions that follow.
近年来，高考报名人数一直处于上升的状态。教育部有关数据显示，
2002 年至 2008 年，全国高考报名人数由 527 万人增长到了 1050 万人。
2009 年高考人数也在 1000 万以上。
但是，根据最新数据显示，2009 年除了广东、江苏、重庆等省份的高考
报名人数比 2008 年稍有增长之外，大多数省份的高考人数都出现了减少状
况，个别省份的下降幅度甚至超过了 10%。
一些教育专家分析了出现这种情况的原因，认为有三点：原因之一是今年
报名参加高考的学生大多数是“90 后”，即中国第三个生育高峰 1985 至 1990
年之后，所以绝对人数减少了；原因之二是不少地方正在进行教育结构调整
和课程改革，这使得一些因高考失败而重返学校补习的学生放弃复读，考生
数量相对减少；第三个重要原因是自去年经济危机爆发以来，就业形势 严
峻，很多大学生毕业之后不能一下找到理想的工作。这使那些想通过上大学
找个好工作的学生的想法受到动摇，部分学生就业观念转变，甚至不参加高
考。
一些学生和家长也开始转变观念，试图在高考之外寻找突破口。
陈刚是广东省某中学的高中毕业生，他的决定让不少同学感到既新鲜又不
可思议。他在学校里成绩一直处于中上等，但是他决定不参加高考，而是准
备上一所职业中专。他说：“上大学不一定能找到好工作，还是学习一门技
术更实用些。”
“职业教育的就业状况甚至比一些普通高校好，这使得职业教育也逐渐成
为一些高中毕业学生的选择。” 一位北京职业技术培训学校教师张女士说。
高考人数下降，不是坏事。这说明一些学生开始转变观念，不再把高考看
成是就业的唯一出路，而是更多地从自身特点出发，选择适合自己的成才之
路。

Section 2
Miss Li teaches Chinese at a Canadian university. She describes her work at
the university. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions
that follow.
我姓李。我在一所加拿大的大学里教汉语。
大学每天九点钟上班，但是我常常要提前一个小时到办公室，准备一下一
天的教学任务。每天上午通常有二至三节课，下午一般用来批改学生作业、
备课以及辅导学生等。中国时时刻刻都在发生着翻天覆地的变化，所以课堂
上除了介绍语言文化知识以外，我经常从中文报刊中挑选出一些能反映中国
现实的小文章和有趣的小故事作为课堂的补充材料，增强知识的实用性和趣
味性。
我教的课程包括一年级的语法、二年级的口语、泛读和四年级的翻译。你
可能会问，怎么不教三年级呢？三年级的学生现在正在中国实习呢！
一年级的学生很喜欢上汉语课，原因之一是他们刚开始接触汉语，汉字对
他们来说很新鲜，也很好玩。他们非常喜欢写汉字，也喜欢洋洋得意地在朋
友面前炫耀一下自己的学习成果。一年级是打好基础的一年，因为这个阶段
所犯的错误会影响到接下来四年的学习。

ACTIVITY 4: EXTENDED READING AND COMPREHENSION
二年级可能是挑战最大的一年了。这个阶段的学生虽然经过了一年的学
习，具备了一定的听说能力，可是汉语还不能说得很流利，一些字形相近的
汉字容易混淆。有效的解决办法是尽量让学生将学到的知识运用到实际生活
中去，同时，还可以为学生们三年级到中国实习积极地做好准备。
四年级的课程同样也充满了乐趣与挑战。学生们到了这个阶段汉语已经学
得相当不错了。他们不仅能阅读高难度的课本，而且还能流利地阅读中文报
纸、文学作品和网络文章。遗憾的是我和他们相处的时间并不多。他们总是
很忙，除了应对紧张的学习以外，还得考虑毕业后的工作问题。
经过四年的学习，学生们从跨进校门时对汉语的一无所知，到离开学校时
不仅能够说一口流利的汉语，而且还能写一手漂亮的汉字，这对教师来说，
莫过于是最开心的事情了。
