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
幼兒園
我三歲的時候被父母送進了家當地的一所幼兒園。幼兒園離家很近，走
路十來分鐘就到了。我記得幼兒園裡有兩個小班、 三個中班和三個大班。
小班裡幾乎都是三到四歲的小朋友，中班是四到五歲的小朋友，而大班裡學
生的年齡則在五到六歲之間。我的印象裡，上學的大部分時間都是由老師帶
著學生做遊戲，挺有意思的。
小學
六歲時我升入了小學學習。 小學比幼稚園要遠一些，不過坐十五分鐘左
右的公共汽車就到了。小學裡，我們學習的科目可多了，包括語文、數學、
英語、科學、音樂、美術、體育、電腦等。我最喜歡的科目是科學課，特別
是課餘時間還可以到學校圖書館裡看許多科幻類的漫畫書，有趣極了！雖然
小學的最後兩年學習開始變得困難起來，但是我對所學知識还是很感興趣。
我所在的班級同學們都非常友好，如果有同學碰到困難了，大家都會互相幫
助、互相支持。 我非常喜歡我的班級。
初中
十二歲時我升入了初中。那時我學會了騎自行車 ，爸爸便給我買了一
輛。到學校騎車需要二十來分鐘。 不过最大的不同是：初中要比小学大两
倍，学生数量也要比小學多得多；科目也多了不少， 学习難度也增加了。
學習的課程包括思想品德、語文、數學、英語、物理、化學、歷史、政治、
地理、生物、體育與健康、信息技術、音樂、美術等十四個科目。所有的科
目當中我最喜歡數學、物理和化學，最不喜歡政治，許多知識都得死記硬
背，無聊極了! 初中的學習生活節奏相當快，一眨眼三年就結束了。班裡一
些家庭條件不太好的同學為了給家裡減輕經濟負擔，早一點參加工作，初中
一畢業就進入了職業技術學校學習。但是大部分的同學還是選擇繼續升入高
中，為考大學做準備。

In this part, Lin Tao continues to talk about his experiences in senior school
and university. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that
follow. Use the headings to help you find the relevant information.
Part 2
高中
高中的學習壓力很大。與初中相比，學習的難度和強度又增加了很多，比
如說，高一學習的課程就包括了語文、數學、英語、物理、化學、生物、地
理、歷史、思想政治、體育與健康、資訊技術等十多個科目。我經常要學習
到晚上十點半左右才能睡覺。
高一期末考試結束之後，我們得做出決定高二和高三是學習理科還是
文科。因为我對物理非常感興趣，希望以後能成為一個物理學家，所以我選
擇了理科。 選擇理科的學生除了學習數學、物理、化學以外，還得學習語
文、英語、政治、生物和體育。選擇文科的學生則要學習包括物理、化學、
生物在內的所有科目。
升到高三，理科的學生就只學習語文、數學、英語、物理、化學、生
物等六個科目。文科的學生則會學習語文、數學、外語、歷史、政治、地理
等科目。
因為面临即将考大學，高三是我高中生活最緊張的一年，週末學校還
經常補課，平時我要學習到很晚才能休息 。父母也很理解我在學習上的壓
力，所以他們包下了幾乎所有的家務活兒。對此我一直心存感激，希望有一
天能報答他們！
高考
因為高考的成敗直接影響到一個學生將來的命運，所以它對很多考生來說
也是一生當中最重要的一次考試。2002 年以前高考一直是在 7 月份舉行，後
來自 2003 年開始改在 6 月初舉行，通常是 6 月 7 日至 6 月 8 日。
大學
2008 年高中畢業後，我參加了高考，考入了我目前所在的大學學習物理
專業。 現在大學的生活比高中輕鬆多了，有了更多可以自由支配的時間。
除了學習以外，我還可以結交一些新朋友，做一些兼職工作，甚至還有機會
到全國各地旅遊。我很喜歡我的大學生活！不过目前我還不清楚畢業後是繼
續攻讀碩士還是直接參加工作，可能會繼續考研吧！

我來自雲南。我明年就要從大學畢業了。我學習的是英文專業。選
擇英文有兩個原因：一是我從中學起就非常喜歡英語，喜歡看英語電
影，喜歡瞭解外面的世界；二是雲南擁有許多著名的旅遊區，比如昆
明民族村、世博園、路南石林、大理、麗江古城、西雙版納等等, 畢業
之後我想從事旅遊專業，把雲南多姿多彩的自然人文風光介紹給來自
世界各地的朋友。

今年我在上高三。高中的學習壓力很大，很多時候我覺得我們都是
在為考試而學，所學的知識缺乏實用性。我想畢業後不如上一所技
校，學習一些實用的技能會更實用些。我想去進駕校，學習駕駛，以
後做一名出租車司機。

馬志海
我現在正在讀高二。雖然我的很多親戚朋友都勸我考大學，但是我
想高中畢業後直接去一家廚師培訓學校學習烹飪，以後開一家自己的
飯店。我覺得大學並不是唯一的就業出路，況且，我從小就很喜歡烹
飪！我覺得要是能做一名出色的廚師，那也是一門不錯的職業啊！

我家在浙江。我在大學學習的是商業管理。選擇這個專業有兩個重
要的原因：第一個原因是我對商業很感興趣，這可能是受到父親的影
響吧，他曾經是一家國營企業的經理，經常鼓勵我去做些兼職工作，
積累一些實際工作經驗；第二個原因是我覺得隨著中國的對外改革開
放進一步深入，我相信中國會需要越來越多的商業人才。

記者:
黃華、周小平，你們好！我很高興你們能接受我的採訪。你
們能談一談目前的學習情況嗎?
黃華:
我每天的學習非常緊張。在學校除了聽好課，做好筆記外，
放學後我還得看很多複習資料，做很多家庭作業。高中學習
的科目很多，壓力大，不過很多人都覺得上高中的目的就是
為了考上大學，現在雖然付出多一些，累一些，辛苦一些，
也是值得的。
周小平:
我倒不這麼認為。雖然目前學生們普遍覺得學習壓力過大，
但是我覺得除了學習以外，我們還應該學會如何享受生活。
考大學很重要，但是生活的內容也不應該僅僅局限於沒日沒
夜地學習啊！學生還應該注重培養樂觀的生活態度，保持健
康的身心。所以，除了學習以外，我還經常參加一些學校組
織的體育活動，我相信這對於身心的發展都是有好處的。

記者:
你們能談一談週末你們是怎麽過的嗎？
黃華:
我也同意周小平的看法，做一些適當的體育鍛煉對學生的身
心發展是有很多好處的。由於平時的課程很緊張，有時候星
期六學校還要補課，所以週末時間我都會去公園裡跑跑步、
看看電影、聽聽音樂、和同學聊聊天，有時也到餐館裡去美
美地飽餐一頓。
周小平:
週末我喜歡打打籃球、踢踢足球、跑跑步啦。當然了，有時
間也玩玩電腦、聽聽音樂、看看小說。另外，每個星期天上
午我還在一家超市當臨時導購員呢。雖然掙的錢不多，但對
我來說，這也是積累工作經驗、體驗社會的一個好機會。
記者:
能說一下你們的理想是什麼嗎？
黃華:
我從小就對文學十分感興趣，希望將來能成為一名作家。我
想這可能是受父親的影響吧！他是名中學語文老師，從小對
我的影響就很大。我愛看文學作品，特別是中國古典文學。
我還喜歡看探險類和科幻類的小說。
周小平:
我跟你不太一樣。我喜歡聽音樂，喜歡玩電腦遊戲。今天很
多年輕人都喜歡玩電腦遊戲，可以說電腦已經成為了現代人
生活的一部分。我希望以後能上電腦專業，將來從事網路遊
戲開發之類的專業。
記者:
非常感謝你們倆能接受我的採訪。謝謝你們！
Section 1, B
我叫羅小莉。初中畢業後我隨父母一塊兒搬到了英國蘇格蘭，到現在已經
有三年了。
我出生在中國南方的一個小城市，在那裡，我讀完了小學和初中。現在，
我正准備考大學。我想學的是繪畫專業。
我從小就喜歡繪畫，父母也從來沒有反對過我繪畫。他們見我喜歡，還常
常給我買一些繪畫方面的書籍。我對繪畫的興趣也與日俱增，甚至迷戀到了
上語文課時還偷偷地看繪畫書的地步 ，這直接影響到了我的學習成績。為
此，我經常受到老師的批評。
到了英國後，我跟著這裡的當地學生念四年級，相當於國內的高一。剛開
始到學校時我對一切都感到很新鮮，但是同時也很緊張。老師在課堂上所講
的內容我常常是一句也聽不懂，所以經常要隨身帶著一本電子詞典，碰到新
單詞時我就把它們輸入到電子詞典裡，晚上做家庭作業時再整理出來，抄到
筆記本上複習。
經過了一年的努力，我慢慢地適應了這兒的教育環境，對學校也不像剛來
時那麼陌生了，和同學們相處得也很好。更重要的是，我還能繼續選修繪

畫。由於我的繪畫出眾，引起了老師的注意。在老師的精心指導下，不到一
年，我的繪畫技巧便有了很大提高，作品也在學校舉辦的繪畫比賽中名列前
茅，甚至還代表學校參加了地區比賽，獲得了評委們的一致好評。
想起國內的教育，我覺得中國的應試教育雖然迫使學生努力學習，但是應
試教育的主要目的就是要把學生送進大學。這樣便造成了學生學習只是片面
地追求高分數，出現了“高分低能”的現象。同時，學習上的壓力也使得像音
樂、美術這類的學科成了應試教育的犧牲品。學生們花了大量時間應付考試
科目，自然再沒有多餘的精力和時間來發展自己的興趣愛好了。相比之下，
我覺得這裏的教育更加注重挖掘學生潛力、培養學生的自信和創新能力。比
如說，學校會讓學生修讀不同的科目，擴大知識面，培養各方面的興趣，讓
學生全面發展。除此以外，學校還為學生提供了豐富多彩的課外活動，比
如：攝影、話劇表演、樂器演奏、繪畫、舞蹈等等。这样，學生就有機會充
分地培養各種興趣愛好。我想，這可能正是中國教育目前急需的吧！

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.
近年來，高考報名人數一直處於上升的狀態。教育部有關資料顯示，2002
年至 2008 年，全國高考報名人數由 527 萬人增長到了 1050 萬人。2009 年高考
人數也在 1000 萬以上。
但是，根據最新資料顯示，2009 年除了廣東、江蘇、重慶等省份的高考報
名人數比 2008 年稍有增長之外，大多數省份的高考人數都出現了減少狀況，
個別省份的下降幅度甚至超過了 10%。
一些教育專家分析了出現這種情況的原因，認為有三點：原因之一是今年報
名參加高考的學生大多數是“90 後”，即中國第三個生育高峰 1985 至 1990 年之
後，所以絕對人數減少了；原因之二是不少地方正在進行教育結構調整和課程
改革，這使得一些因高考失敗而重返學校補習的學生放棄複讀，考生數量相對
減少；第三個重要原因是自去年經濟危機爆發以來，就業形勢嚴峻，很多大學
生畢業之後不能一下找到理想的工作。這使那些想通過上大學找個好工作的學
生的想法受到動搖，部分學生就業觀念轉變，甚至不參加高考。
一些學生和家長也開始轉變觀念，試圖在高考之外尋找突破口。
陳剛是廣東省某中學的高中畢業生，他的決定讓不少同學感到既新鮮又不
可思議。他在學校裡成績一直處於中上等，但是他決定不參加高考，而是準備
上一所職業中專。他說：“上大學不一定能找到好工作，還是學習一門技術更實
用些。”
職業教育的就業狀況甚至比一些普通高校好，這使得職業教育也逐漸成為一
些高中畢業學生的選擇。” 一位北京職業技術培訓學校教師張女士說。
高考人數下降，不是壞事。這說明一些學生開始轉變觀念，不再把高考看成
是就業的唯一出路，而是更多地從自身特點出發，選擇適合自己的成才之路。

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學裡教漢語。
大學每天九點鐘上班，但是我常常要提前一個小時到辦公室，準備一下一
天的教學任務。每天上午通常有二至三節課，下午一般用來批改學生作業、
備課以及輔導學生等。中國時時刻刻都在發生著翻天覆地的變化，所以課堂
上除了介紹語言文化知識以外，我經常從中文報刊中挑選出一些能反映中國
現實的小文章和有趣的小故事作為課堂的補充材料，增強知識的實用性和趣
味性。
我教的課程包括一年級的語法、二年級的口語、泛讀和四年級的翻譯。你
可能會問，怎麼不教三年級呢？三年級的學生現在正在中國實習呢！
一年級的學生很喜歡上漢語課，原因之一是他們剛開始接觸漢語，漢字對
他們來說很新鮮，也很好玩。他們非常喜歡寫漢字，也喜歡洋洋得意地在朋
友面前炫耀一下自己的學習成果。一年級是打好基礎的一年，因為這個階段
所犯的錯誤會影響到接下來四年的學習。

ACTIVITY 4: EXTENDED READING AND COMPREHENSION
二年級可能是挑戰最大的一年了。這個階段的學生雖然經過了一年的學
習，具備了一定的聽說能力，可是漢語還不能說得很流利，一些字形相近的
漢字容易混淆。有效的解決辦法是儘量讓學生將學到的知識運用到實際生活
中去，同時，還可以為學生們三年級到中國實習積極地做好準備。
四年級的課程同樣也充滿了樂趣與挑戰。學生們到了這個階段漢語已經學
得相當不錯了。他們不僅能閱讀高難度的課本，而且還能流利地閱讀中文報
紙、文學作品和網路文章。遺憾的是我和他們相處的時間並不多。他們總是
很忙，除了應對緊張的學習以外，還得考慮畢業後的工作問題。
經過四年的學習，學生們從跨進校門時對漢語的一無所知，到離開學校時
不僅能夠說一口流利的漢語，而且還能寫一手漂亮的漢字，這對教師來說，
莫過於是最開心的事情了。
