The US Department of Education is making efforts to ensure that all students have equal access to a quality education. 美国教育部一直在努力确保所有学生都享有接受素质教育的平等机会。 Today it is announcing the launch of the Excellent Educators for All Initiative. 今天，他们宣布实施为所有学生提供优秀教育工作者的方案。 The initiative will help states and school districts support great educators for the students who need them most. 这一方案将帮助各州和各学区给那些有最迫切需要的学生提供优秀的教育工作者。 “All children are entitled to a high-quality education regardless of their race, zip code or family income. “所有的孩子，不分种族、居住地及家庭贫富，都有接受优质教育的权利。 It is critically important that we provide teachers and principals the support they need to help students reach their full potential,” US Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said.

考研英语与大学英语四六级的区别 准备考研的同学大部分都考过英语四、六级，那么是英语六级难还是考研英语难，有些同学英语六级考了560分，但考研只得了50分，有些同学本科是英语专业过了专业八级，但考研也只得56分，究其原因，是因为英语四、六级与考研英语是完全不同的两个体系的考试。 四、六级是资格考试，只要能达到了一定的水平就能得高分。而考研英语是筛选性的考试，每年国家招的人数是有限制的，因此国家会利用英语这门考试筛选一部分人。考研英语与六级考试有四点不同。 一、考试的题型不同 考研的题型有完型、传统阅读、新题型、翻译、作文。其中完型由280个单词构成，给出20个空，每空2.5分，共10分，这道题全国的均分是2.5-3.5分，此题考查同学们的词组搭配，语法和语感能力。传统阅读由4篇文章构成，每篇文章400个单词，5个问题，每题2分，一共20个问题，共计40分。新题型是国家取消研究生入学考试听力以后新加的题型，此题来源于博士研究生入学考试的题型。翻译是平衡整张试卷难度的。如果前面出的题难就会出2个长难句，3个简单句；如果前面的题简单，此题就会出3个长难句2个简单句。建议大家把真题中的阅读认真翻译一遍，真题阅读是翻译的好的范本。作文由一篇小作文和一篇大作文构成，其中小作文10分，要求写一篇100个单词的应用文，大作文20分，要求写一篇160-200个单词的议论文，万学海文有一个超级作文模版，此模版用哲学的观点把世间万物分为4类，此模版把一篇作文变成了一个填空题，只要大家把议论的事物填进去，便可得一个很好的分数。 二、单词考核的侧重点不同 四、六级考试一般考单词的前一两个常用的意思，而考研英语考单词的最后两个意思。2005年研究生入学考试英语作文题讲得是赡养老人的问题，赡养这个单词很多同学都不会写，其实很简单就用support，可能大家只知道support有支持，提供的意思，但忘记了它还有赡养的意思。 三、语法考核的侧重点不同 四、六级考试重点考核词法，如名词、动词、形容词、介词等等，而考研英语侧重考核语法，如宾语从句、状语从句、倒装句等等。 四、文章选材与命题思路不同 四、六级考试的文章一般选自描写风土人情、人物传记的文章或小小说等，考研英语文章选自科技论文，外文期刊综述，外国产品说明书等。四、六级考试的文章大家读懂了就可以做对，但是考研英语的文章大家读懂了，也不一定做对。比如四、六会问是哪个教练带领中国足球冲向世界，但考研英语会问为什么黑哨在足球联比赛中屡禁不止。 大家了解了考研英语与四、六级的区别后，就可以采用科学合理的方法复习英语。很多同学在背单词的时候有三大误区。 一、记一个单词的时间太长，有的同学记一个单词会用5分钟，这就浪费了4分钟10秒，人的记忆力在50秒时达到顶峰，再往后就急剧下降，所以大家在记单词时要加大单位时间内的频率。这就如同我们见到了一个美女，若我们和她谈一个小时，一个月后我们不一定还记得她，但是若我们每天和她谈5分钟，连续12天，相信2个月后，这个美女长什么样子，穿什么衣服，我们还记得一清二楚。 二、喜欢记熟悉的单词，很多同学背单词会从字母a开始，背了几天后发现自己还在背以字母a开头的单词，于是又从z开始背，结果背了几天还在以字母z开头的单词里。最后认识的还是认识，不会的照样不会。建议大家记单词时把生词做个标记，下次看时重点看生词。 三、边背边写，这个习惯也不好。因为考研英语词汇分为5级，其中大家只要记住一级

高中生活和大学生活的区别 提纲 高中生活：大学生活： 1忙碌的学习生活1闲暇自主的学习生活 2 紧张有序的日常生活 2 多多姿多彩的日常生活 3对大学的期待 3 工作的焦虑、 4 充实的的理想 4 无聊疲惫的身心 正文： 在高中生活中，我们在学习中整天忙忙碌碌，许多课程和大量作业等待我们完成，我们甚至没有理由不去完它们。学习在紧张有序的进行着，每一天都有学习任务需要完成。对于大学的期待我们总是去努力记忆，即使在梦中我们也要象呼唤上帝一样呼唤它的名字。总之，对于大学生活我们充满了期待和希望。这是因为，吃饭和理想似乎就要通过它来实现。不过，值得高兴的是，我们个理想总是令人觉得充实和满意的。对于未来的理想，我们通过大学使它变得充实，这是值得骄傲的一件事情了。 进入到大学生活，我们首先在学习生活中发现了我们失去的闲暇时光。于是我们的学习生活变得可以自主，重要的是，我们拥有很多可以自由支配的闲暇的时间。在课余时间里，我们可以参加各种各样多多姿多彩的活动来消闲时间，增加见闻。不过总有让人焦虑的事。例如，工作的不确定性。为此，我们非常焦虑。我们没有理由不为自己的将来的吃饭问题而感到焦虑。这样一来，我们的理想又变得难以触摸。于是我们的理想让我们觉得无聊和疲惫。 高中生活是忙碌紧张充实并充满期待，大学生活闲暇多彩却焦虑疲惫 In high school life, we are busy all day in study, many courses and a lot of work awaiting us, we even have no reason not to complete them. Learning in an order and carrying on, each day to learn the task to be done. We are always looking for the universities to work on memory, even if in a dream we have to call it the same as calling the name of God. In short, for we are looking forward to university life and hope. This is because eating and seemed to be ideal to achieve through it. However, I am pleased that we feel that an ideal is always full and satisfied. Vision for the future, we make it through college enrichment, it is a matter of pride.

Students who sign __72__ for the award will be expected to complete 50 hours of work experience or __73__ work, attend four workshops on employ-ability skills, take part in an intensive skills-related activity __74__, crucially, write a summary of the skills they have gained. __75__ efforts will gain an Outstanding Achievement Award.

大学英语阅读测试一（1） Part I??Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) Directions: There are 4 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage One Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage. There are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art. Washington, D.C. has the National Gallery of Art (美术馆); Paris has the Louver; London, the British Museum. Florida International University (FIU) in Miami also shows art for people to see. And it does so without a building, or even a wall for its drawings and paintings. FIU has opened what it says is the first co mputer art museum in the United States. You don’t have to visit the University to see the art. You just need a computer linked to a telephone. You can call the telephone number of a university computer and connect your own computer to it. All of the art is stored in the school computer. It is computer art, produced electronically by artists on their own computers. In only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings. Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum. He says he starts the museum because computer artists had no place to show their works. A computer artist can only record his pictures electronically and send the records, or floppy discs, to others to see on their computers. He can also put his pictures on paper. But to print good pictures on paper, the computer artist needs an expensive laser printer. Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities. Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students. Mr Shostak said the FIU museum would make computer art funnier for computer artists because more people can see it. He says artists enjoy their work much more if they have an audience. And the great number of home computers in America could mean a huge audience for the electronic museum. 1. The main purpose of this passage is to give information about _______. A) museums throughout the world B) an electronic art museum in Miami, U.S. C) art exhibitions in Florida International University D) latest development of computer art 2. To see the art in FIU museum, you need _____. A) floppy discs B) a computer and a printer C) pictures and drawings on paper D) a computer connected to the museum by telephone line 3. _____ are stored in this museum. A) Paintings drawn by means of computer B) Different styles of paintings C) Old paintings D) Drawings done by art students of FIU 4. The museum was started when _____. A) Robert Shostak wanted to do something for computer scientists B) Robert Shostak wanted to help computer artists C) art students needed a place to show their works D) computer scientists wanted to do something about art 5. The phrase “an audience” in the last paragraph refers to _____ . A) art students B) computer owners C) exhibits D) electronic museum Passage Two
