【原文】

Let me begin by saying that...ah...the history and culture of these two countries...Great Britain and the United States...seem to be similar in many ways, but ah...not in others. In the field of education, for example, the school systems of these two English-speaking countries are quite different.

Let's look at the matter of examinations.

In England they are standard. That is, students all over the country take the same examination. Most children begin school at five, you see...and study the basics for about eight years... then, if they decide to go on, they select certain subjects and study for these nation-wide standard exams. This process ends at about age 16, except for those who want to enter universities. These students must...ah, study for yet more difficult examinations, known in England as the "A Levels".

As you can see, these national examinations are very important to British students...but in the United States there are none... oh, of course we have other kinds of tests that are important... but I mean there are no nationally set examinations that determine whether students can graduate from our public schools. Each local school system has its own standards.

Generally speaking, there are twelve grades in the American system. Each grade takes one year so children who begin the first grade at the age of six usually graduate when they are about seventeen. If they want to go on to college... they have to write and find out what the entrance requirements are, because each college and university is different.

【題目】 For students, college is a series of disconnected experiences: the classroom, the dorm, the athletic field, and the internship（實(shí)習(xí)崗位）. Yet the employers tell me what gets college students hired is the ability to translate what they learned in one place (the classroom, for example) to another that is far different from where they originally learned a concept (a project on an internship).

Educators call this “ transfer learning”—the ability to summarize key principles and apply them in many different places, which becomes more important as the skills needed to keep up in any job and occupation continue to change in the future. Our ability to drive almost any car on the market without reading its manual（手冊(cè)）is an example of knowledge transfer.

The concept sounds simple enough. But today’s students, faced with the constant pressure to prepare for standardized tests, rarely have the chance to learn through problem-solving or to be involved in projects that improve skills that can be used in various settings.

In response to demands from students, parents and employers, colleges and universities are adding hands-on experiences to the undergraduate curriculum.

Arizona State University, where I’ m a professor of practice, is testing a curriculum across a dozen majors in which students learn nearly half of the subject matter through group projects. Engineering students might build a robot and learn the key principles of mechanics and electronics during the project. The hope is that students will be more involved if theories from the classroom are immediately applied in the outside world instead of years after students graduate.

What’s the problem with the hands-on learning experiences being added by colleges to the undergraduate curriculum? They’re often not accompanied by the guidance that students need to help them transfer what they learn. So students become adept skilled in job interviews at describing what they did during a project, but they have difficulty talking about what they learned and how they can apply that to where they want to work.

【1】Why is the ability to drive mentioned in Paragraph 2?

A. To show that everything is changing.

B. To prove that driving ability is important.

C. To stress the importance of practical skills.

D. To explain the meaning of transfer learning.

【2】What prevents students from getting the ability to transfer knowledge?

A. Various school projects.B. Too much stress from tests.

C. Their lack of theory knowledge.D. Their unwillingness to solve problems.

【3】Which may arouse students’ interest in school learning according to the author?

A. Seeing what they have learned is applied.

B. Teachers changing the way lectures are given.

C. Focusing on the key principles of every subject.

D. Teachers explaining theories in an interesting way.

【4】What does the author think of the hands-on learning experiences in colleges?

A. They are effective.B. They are unnecessary.

C. They should be improved.D. They cost a lot of time.

Keeping a diary in English is one of the 【1】(effect) ways to improve our English writing ability.

【2】(compare) with other forms of writing, it is shorter and takes less time. It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English. If we persist in this practice, gradually we 【3】(learn) how to express ourselves in English. In keeping a diary in English, we certainly run up against many 【4】(difficult). In the first place, it often happens 【5】 we have trouble finding and phrases to give expression to our mind. Secondly, there are many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is 【6】(extreme) hard for us to put them into English properly.

As far as I’m concerned, my 【7】(recommend) is that we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary 【8】 easy reach. Whenever something beats 【9】, we can first put it down in our notebook and then consult our dictionary. We can also turn to our English teacher for help, if necessary. In 【10】 word, I believe that it is of great use to keep a diary in English for the development of our writing skills.
