{{B}}Section A{{/B}} Directions: Translate the underlined sentences of the following passage into Chinese. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet. Divided We Stand Marriage is big lately; actually it's unmarriage that seems to be capturing our attention. From the award-winning American Beauty to the Bruce Willis-Mishelle Pfeiffer movie, The Story of Us, the institution of marriage is being turned inside out, and it's not a pretty sight. To judge by these films, modern marriage involves a lot of broken crockery and busted expectations. (91) {{U}}While many current Hollywood depictions of marriage may be overly pessimistic, statistics in America are alarming: each year half as many Americans get divorced as marry.{{/U}} Marriage counselors say couples often choose to separate as a last-ditch effort to change their relationship, and possibly themselves. But a separation can give couples time to calm down, renegotiate the rules of the relationship and gain some needed distance. For a separation to work, it needs to be well defined. "Structured Separations" tend to be the most productive. Couples facing separation do best if they establish some basic ground rules first. (92) {{U}}They should mutually agree on the length of the separation—three to six months is average—and both must continue to work on their own problems during that time, either with or without a counselor.{{/U}} Couples should agree not to see lawyers during their separation. Lawyers have a way of moving marriage toward divorce. (93) {{U}}During their period of trial separation couples should not pursue each other at all, either to fight or to reconcile, but should agree in advance on what kind of contact they will have{{/U}}. Separated couples can agree to speak on the phone for a prearranged period, for in stance, or meet once a week. (94) {{U}}Some therapists advise their clients to agree not to talk to each other about their relationship during these encounters and to use the time apart to reflect on their own lives and see what they can change about themselves.{{/U}} If there are children involved, both parties need to agree on all the ground rules having to do with kids. Parents should also be aware that repeated separations and reconciliations are difficult and confusing for children. A separation, while painful, can help keep the anger down and give a couple time to think. (95) {{U}}If both are unsure about the future of the marriage, it can provide a timeout, during which they can see what life would be like without the other{{/U}}. Sometimes it leads to divorce. But if couples are able to clarify things, it will improve their marriage—or, make their divorce better.

[1] For some people it is extreme education: 10-hour days, contracts with parents and very strict rules on behaviour in small, 200-pupil academies. The result in a new type of school in the US is 100% acceptance to college, test results as good as those in private schools, and teenagers from New York's South Bronx district who play the viola like their neighbours in Manhattan. [2] James Verrilli, principal of the North Star Academy in Newark, America's second poorest city, said: "These kids know drugs. These kids know crime and violence. Their fathers are in jail. We have a school culture here which is very different from the attitude they have when they first walk through the door. It's a culture that tells them they can go to college." [3] At the North Star Academy children like Charism and Queen-Ama smile politely as they shake your hand and welcome you in. About 85% of pupils are African-American and 90% get free school meals. Last year 80% got "proficient or advanced" grades in maths, compared with just 28% in the local neighbourhood school. This was above the state average. Pupils work in silence with a professionalism they have learned during a three-day process. From the beginning pupils are taught to speak clearly, answer questions in full sentences and look the teacher in the eye. [4] Parents have to sign a three-way contract with their child and the principal, and must promise to participate themselves. When a child's homework isn't handed in by 8 am, there is a phone call home. When the parent doesn't turn up for a meeting, their child is not allowed back into school until they turn up. There are signs saying "No excuses" on the walls." I was working until 11 last night. I'm tired, but I know I've got to work," says one ll-year-old, as she finishes up her homework over breakfast. "Even my mother's gone back to school since I've been here." Pupils are tested every six weeks and their results are examined carefully. [5] "As a principal of a small school, I know how every child is progressing and how they are behaving," says Mr. Verrilh. He also sits in on classes himself, observing the students and writing notes for the teachers. [6] North Star and other small schools like it have developed from the charter school movement in the US. The 3,500 charter schools are independent schools, funded by the state, and allowed more freedom to set policies, including their admissions procedures. North Star runs a lottery for admissions and has 1,800 children on the waiting list. Parents have to put their child's name into the lottery; three times more girls apply than boys. [7] Mr. Verrilli strongly rejects the idea that his students might not be the ones most in need. "It's quite wrong to say that parents from disadvantaged backgrounds don't care about their kids' education. Ninety-five percent of parents just want a better education for their children. We're not taking the best kids. I'm defensive about that. It's something a lot of people say. How hard is it to put your child's name down on a piece of paper?" he said. [8] Every child who attends the Kipp (Knowledge is Power Programme)academy in South Bronx, New York, plays in its orchestra, the best school orchestra in New York. Every child can read music. Shirley Lee, a director of the Kipp academy in the Bronx, says the school works because there is a consistent structure throughout the school. "The truth and reality is that kids like structure," she said. "It's about telling them what's appropriate and them learning when to use it. I wouldn't talk to you like I am now if I was out in some of these areas. But if we teach them to look in my eyes when I'm speaking to them, they will use that if they get stopped by the police and that will protect them." [9] In the UK, there is a growing political debate about the differences in academic achievement between rich and poor in schools in big cities. A recent report highlighted the growing gap in achievement and the government is trying to deal with this problem. Three London academies are experimenting with small school principles and last week a group of British teachers in training visited the US looking for methods they could use to deal with the problems of "complex urban education". [10] Ark, a UK educational charity, is taking key components of the small school model into London academies. Lucy Heller, managing director of Ark, says: "It's small schools, strict rules on behaviour and a firm belief that inner city children can be just as successfull." The UK schools minister says small schools can teach disadvantaged children the skills that middle class children take for granted: "High ambition, zero tolerance of failure, an expectation that children will go to university and that schools will give them the education to go to university." [11] Ark is also helping to fund the 30 "Future Leaders" group on the school leadership training scheme visiting the US. The trainees are expected to take some of the ideas they experience in the US back home to the UK. Many of them think it will be difficult to transfer the model to the UK, however. They talk about the fact that most of the US schools are middle schools, for 10-14-year-olds. The model has been tested less in the secondary school age group(11-18). They also ask where the money to fund smaller schools will come from, though others point out the fact that in the US facilities are basic. "They don't even have interactive white boards." says one of the group's mentors. "They just teach. Small schools might not be practical in the UK, but what I really want these new school leaders to take back is the sense of culture in these schools."

{{B}}Section A{{/B}} Translate the underlined sentences of the following passage into Chinese. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet. Mighty Flighty A fly can do one thing extremely well: fly. (86) {{U}}Recently a team of British scientists declared that the common housefly is the most talented aerodynamicist on the planet, superior to any bird, bat, or bee.{{/U}} A housefly can make six turns a second; hover; fly straight up, down, or backward; do somersaults; land on the ceiling; and perform various other show-off maneuvers. And it has a brain smaller than a sesame seed. Michael Dickinson, who studies fly flight in his lib at Cahech, says the housefly isn't actually the best flier. 'Hoverflies are the be-all and end-all,' he says. (87) {{U}}They can hover in one spot, hurtle through the air to another location, and then race back to their original hovering point precisely.{{/U}} Scientists, engineers, and military researchers want to know how creatures with such small brains can do that. Maybe they could reverse-engineer a fly to make a robotic device that could reconnoiter dangerous places, such as earthquake zones or collapsed mines. Dickinson's laboratory works with fruit flies. Researchers put them in chambers and manipulate the visual field, filming the flies in super-slow motion, 6,000 frames a second. Dickinson is interested in knowing how flies avoid collisions. He has found that certain patterns, such as 90-degree turns, are triggered by visual cues and two equilibrium organs on their backs that function like a gyroseope. Flies have only a dozen muscles for maneuvering, but they're loaded with sensors. In addition to their compound eyes, which permit panoramic imagery and are excellent at detecting motion, they have wind-sensitive hairs and antennae. They also have three light sensors, called ocelli, on the tops of their heads, which tell them which way is up. Roughly two-thirds of a fly's entire nervous system is devoted to processing visual images. They take all this sensory data and boil it clown to a few basic commands, such as 'go left' and 'go right.' (88) {{U}}Imagine if you didn't utter an opinion until you had read hundreds of books, magazines, newspaper articles, and blogs, and then issued a statement based on a few basic notions.{{/U}} That's how a fly approaches flying. Only the fly is a speed reader. The information processing takes a fraction of a second. Researcher Rafal Zbikowski of Cranfield University in Shrivenham, England, calls this mode of operation a 'sensor-rich feedback control paradigm.' (89) {{U}}Given that flies have evolved for hundreds of millions of years (and that they were the first animals to take to the air), we shouldn't be surprised that they're such good fliers.{{/U}} 'They just don't have brains like ours. Studying flies,' says Dickinson, 'is like traveling to another planet.'
