从隋朝开始,科举考试的制度诞生了。从此刻开始,最早的选拔人才的方式得到了大家的一致认可,老百姓也只有通过这种方式才能在朝为官。随着社会的发展,科举制度不断得到完善。再者,社会就发展成了“万般皆下品,惟有读书高”的局面。中国的'应试教育方式也是通过这样传播下了的。
虽然我们已经进入了现代化时代,中国也引领着时代的发展,但我们却改变不了从古至今的传统教育观念,反而愈演愈烈了。中国的应试教育被夸张化有一个典型的例子,我称它为“衡水地狱”。为什么我要这么称呼它呢?因为它不仅违反了国家相关的教育规定,超出了教育的限度,而且越来越严重了。
我记得电影《致青春》有这样一句经典语录:“只要学不死,就往死里学。”
这种题材的电影又进一步的深化了“万般皆下品,惟有读书高”在人们内心的程度。而外国又是什么样的教育方式呢?很显然,中国与外国的教育方式截然不同。中国在教育上强调的是做人,而外国是做事。所以外国的孩子们比中国孩子的独立能力强,而中国孩子学习的文化知识,文化素养要比外国孩子多的多。大家有可能会有这样的疑问——怎样改变这种教育偏激的现象?其实目前想要改变的话显然是不可能的。我来给大家总结一下原因。第一,贫富差距太大。就像那些有钱人的孩子,他们每天都生活在温暖中,如果没有合适的教育,他们大多会一直生活在安逸中,他们更不会明白独立的意义。
穷困人家的孩子则背负着巨大的责任,他们只能通过学习来“逆天改命”。这样,他们学习的目的是为了就业,所以他们对所要学习的科学文化知识摆着应付的态度。我们国家的教育是为了什么,实行科教兴国的战略又是为了什么?当然是为了选拔有用的人才,为中华民族的复兴做贡献。但只注重理论知识,不注重实践,所以应试教育被恶化了,人们也违背了中国教育的初心。第二,普遍的攀比心理。我们经常能够听到这样的对话——孩子的妈妈说:“怎么考试考了这么点分,你看看人家XXX”。
孩子的压力太大,只能硬着头皮去学习。
我认为这种教育方式不能大力支持也不能抵制。政府和相关教育部门应该加大课外辅导的调查力度,有效的抑制教育过激的现象。相关媒体也应该大力宣传提高学生综合能力的重要性。国家也应继续实行精准扶贫政策,解决贫富差距的现象。
当今社会,追星也成了一种时尚。;追星就像社会生活给青少年出的选择题,是随波逐流、人云亦云,还是独立思考、理性行动,需要我们找出正确答案。其实,追星不一定是坏事,它也有好的一面。明星们哪个没有坚强的意志?没有优点?主要还是在于我们如何抉择。明星们对我们是有积极的促进作用的,有的人会梦想着将来能成为明星,这就需要有件事的文化功底。更何况台上一分钟,台下十年功。明星的前提条件便是能吃苦耐劳、有坚强的意志。
看过这样一则故事:刚刚卸任的联合国秘书长安南,在庄园举办了一场慈善晚宴,旨在为非洲贫困儿童募捐,应邀者都是富商和名流。晚宴即将开始时,小露西来到庄园门口,她手里捧着瓷罐。抱歉!除了工作人员,没有请柬的人不能进去。保安说。叔叔,慈善不是钱是心,对吗?小露西问保安,保安愣住了。我知道收到邀请得人有很多钱,他们会拿出很多钱,我没有那么多,但这是我所有的钱,如果我真的.不能进去,请帮我把这个带进去吧!”说完,她把储蓄罐递给保安。巴菲特被她深深感动了,把她带进了庄园。当晚,巴菲特捐出了300万美元,比尔盖茨捐出800万美元,而仅捐出30美元25美分的小露西却成为了当晚的明星!显然,我们对明星的理解始终停留在华丽的外表、排场等方面。真正的明星,需要的更是一颗博爱之心,需要以自己的吸引力来感染其他人奉献出爱心。再如;壹基金的创始人李连杰,他说演戏是我的职业,而公益慈善是我终生的事业。我们真正应该崇拜的、追随的,应该是他们身上这种奉献精神,是他们无私的爱心。
追星不应该用盲目之类的词来形容,只是得自己把握好分寸,寻找到适当的目标。这样的追星才有意义、有价值,才是我们应推崇的!
首先,从空间上来说。“第一”决不是绝对的“第一”。在学校里得了“第一”,也许出了校门,就是“第二”。在国家得了“第一”,跨出国界,能列第几就很难说了。中国的篮球运动在亚洲也算是名列前茅了,在亚运会上也得过金牌,可是一到奥运会比赛,名次就落后许多了。就算在地球上得个“第一”,也不代表在离地球不远的几亿个星球上也还能保持“第一”。所以,得了“第一”,决不可以目中无物,傲视天下,须知“天外有天,人外有人”。其次,从时间上来说,“第一”的脑袋上非得加两个大大的引号不可,万事万物都在无休止地发展,不断地进步,这会将“第一”抛到“第二”,甚至“第三”。在以前,马是跑得最快的,后来是汽车,接着是飞机,现在是宇宙飞船跑得最快了。在世界的.竞赛中,每一项世界纪录都不断在刷新,眼前的“第一”决不是永恒的。所以,每个“第一”都只是在某个空间的“第一”,某个时间的“第一”。当你得到“第一”时,决不能骄傲自大,而更应该虚怀若谷;决不能停步不前,而更应该奋进不止。须知,你得到的“第一”不过是“天空中的一朵小小的云彩”罢了。须知“骄傲使入落后,虚心使人进步”。也许,有一些人会说,既然“第一”如此微不足道,“第一”外还有“第一”,那么得个“第二”“第三”不也一样吗?如果这样说,就大错了。无论多么渺小的“第一”,都要加以肯定。为下一个“第一”奠定好基础,为夺取一个更大的“第一”而加倍奋斗。诚然,得到第一是值得自豪的,但要看你所采取的态度,是把它当作终点,还是作为新的起点。我们并不是否定“第一”,而是提倡人们取得“第一”后继续向前。我们的目标应该永远是下一个“第一”,惟有如此,人类才会不断进步。
Study the two pictures above carefully and write an essay entitled “On the Relationship between Environment and Economy” In the essay, you should (1 describe the pictures and interpret their meaning (2 give your opinion with some proof (3 give your conclusion.You should write about 200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2.

[参考范文]On the Relationship between Environment and Economy
The two pictures above are both about the relationship between the environment and the economic development. In the first picture, GDP is on the rise while the environment is drastically polluted. In the second picture, economic efficiency progresses with environmental protection. It’s easy to get the conclusion that development according to the second picture is more reasonable than that in the first one.
In the early development of socialism, our country didn’t pay much attention to the issue of environmental protection and savored the bitterness. Now, the government has taken many measures and is implementing the strategy of “sustainable development”. One aspect of the strategy is to develop the economy and take measures to protect the environment at the same time. In this way, we can develop our country in a sustainable manner and our offspring can have enough resources to develop society. If we don’t put much emphasis on the environment issue and excavate the natural resources blindly, our country will become a barren land sooner or later.
In a word, sustainable development is a reasonable strategy which should be implemented for a long time. The nature is providing us with plentiful resources generously, but it may punish us severely if we don’t care her.
Study the picture above carefully and write an essay entitled “After Graduation” In the essay, you should (1describe the picture (2interpret its meaning (3give your opinion about the phenomenon. You should write about 200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET2. (20 points
[参考范文]
Graduation is an important event for all of us. It is the divide between school and a full-time working life. After graduation, we are no longer students protected by parents and teachers, but a member of the real society. Let’s look at the picture first. A graduate is told by his teacher, “You must depend on yourself during your life journey after graduation…” He finds that some former graduates fly high into the sky while some experience a drastic fall.
The picture tells us a principle. Graduation is not the end of your education, but the beginning of your real journey. At school, we may find we are no different from our classmates. However, there will be a great gap between us after graduation. Some may try their best to improve themselves and become the mainstay of our ear era? While some are indulged in creature comforts and give up their initial ideals.
Therefore, we should remember that graduation is the beginning of our real life journey. If you want to be a person useful to society, you should make all efforts to learn as much as possible from others and improve yourself. In this way, you may fly high in the sky.
Study the picture above carefully and write an essay entitled “The Adaptation of the Classical Literature”. In the essay, you should (1 describe the picture (2 interpret its meaning (3 give your opinion about the phenomenon. You should write about 200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (20 points?
The picture gives us a view of a popular phenomenon: the adaptation of the classics. Some classical literary works, such as our four great classics i.e. A Dream of Red Mansions, Journey to the West, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Heroes of the Marshes, are all adapted to cater to some readers’ tastes. The traditional characters become so strange and the plots are totally different. It is so ridiculous that the precious literary treasures are allowed to be ruined so much.
As we all know, the classical literature is the representation of the outstanding art of our nation. Some familiar characters such as Monkey King express the good wishes of our common people. From them, we learn many good virtues such as honesty, bravery, justice etc. However, in those adapted works named “Bantering***”or “Reboiling***”, all plots are changed and all characters become somewhat watered clown. Some readers interested in reading burlesque works have high praise for them. But they never think of the negative effects of such adaptations on the average reader, especially to children. Children are the future of the nation. They always believe that what is in the books is the truth. Those adapted works will affect their outlook on life.
Therefore, some measures should be taken to restrict these adaptations. The real classics should be presented on the bookshelves to lead people to appreciate the real art.
