46. Universities should require every student to take a variety of courses outside the student's field of study.大学应该要求每个学生选修自己专业以外的各种学科。
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the recommendation and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, describe specific circumstances in which adopting the recommendation would or would not be advantageous and explain how these examples shape your position.
1every subject does not exist independently 对学好本学科有说明，因为知识在逻辑体系上是互通的，各个学科之间的相互交织。研究经济学的适当学习数学知识有利于对经济学的更深理解，如 philosophy is the foundation of all subject
达芬奇Da Vinci即是科学家也是艺术家，他对人体解剖anatomy的深入了解，才使得他的油画十分优美，传神。
Since various disciplines
were interrelated, the study of courses outside the students‘ own field may benefit the study of
their own major.如：力学中的理论可用于美术；如：公共行政学生需要了解心理学、管理学、政治学的发展
2 在全球化进程的今天，只学习某个专业内的知识已经不能满足需要了In today‘s
technologically advanced society it is impossible for those who focus their attention on the concerning fields to satisfy the needs for the future society.
首先，广泛的学习各种知识能够拓宽视野。(broaden our vision | cultivate full-blown market of ideas | a broad spectrum of opinions | get closer to the truth | come to the best judgment.) True education amounts to far more than gaining the knowledge and ability to excel in one‘s major course of study and in one‘s professional career.
其次，可以让学生发现她真正感兴趣的研究方向。By exploring subjects outside their own major, students may find new academic fields where lie their real interest and potential gift.
3过分强调学习其他学科的重要性可能会导致学生忽视主要知识的学习
3、但是，不能放弃对主要科目的深入研究，这也是高校设置major的目的所在，浅尝辄止
be satisfied with a smattering of knowledge
对个人和社会都无裨益；
unduly emphasize the importance of studying the course outsider may lead the students neglecting the knowledge of certain fields of study, and thereby have no capability to engage any realm of employment or research work. On the other hand,
compel student to place most of the attentions on the professional fields also may falls into another extreme and eventually make the students impossible to catch up with the development of the science and technology
4、总结，在保证深入学习钻研专业的前提下，扩大知识面，才能获得真正的教育 1 / 47

28.The surest indicator of a great nation is represented not by the achievements of its rulers, artists, or scientists, but by the general welfare of its people.一个国家的伟大体现在国民的安乐
上，而不是体现在统治者、艺术家或科学家的成就上。Write a response in which you discuss the
extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position.
1、肯定伟大国家的第一要素是人民生活好福利好the overriding imperative of any democratic state is to enhance the general welfare of its citizenry Great nation 的定义，prosperous in economy, democratic in politics , affluence in cultures. The welfare of the people, including the living conditions, the social security system and the charity of developed country is 人民生活都保障不了的国家绝对不伟大，即使elite有成就也毫无意义
For example, India .we have to admit that it is fast development of India during the past century and even it has owning nuclear weapon . However, focusing on high technology and weapon does not ameliorate the situation that much Indians are still living in the lowest level of society. And The peace is still a dream in this country because of divergence between people in religion and nation. India can not be called a great nation.
2、社会繁荣社会整体的成功统治者、艺术家、科学家的成就也是伟大国家的重要因素
(a) Scientific and technological achievements serve in the first place to
enhance a nation‘s general welfare.(Advance in medical treatment, transportation, communication, etc)
(b) Artistic achievements could not be neglected, though. They help to
make a nation a better place to reside. (Provide inspiration, life people‘s spirit and bring about creativity and imagination, all of which spur us to make more accomplishments.)
(c)The military and diplomatic accomplishment of its leaders could neither be ignored in the general welfare of a nation. (The War of Independence) 伟大国家中的统治者、艺术家、科学家要为人民谋福利
For the rulers or the politicians, they should improve people's living standards, safeguard the nation's integrity and people's safety, in a word, they should make their nation more stable, peace, and prosperous; With respect to artists, they should exert their creativity and imagination to make more classic artworks in order to reflect the inner connotations and impulse of a society and ultimately improve people‘s spiritual life and bring with them
entertainment; When it comes to scientists, what they should is to make the research results conduce to people‘s study, life, and work while avoid the potential negative impacts their research may produce.

86.Some people believe that government officials must carry out the will of the people they serve. Others believe that officials should base their decisions on their own judgment.
有些人认为政府官员应该遵从大众的意愿。也有人认为政府官员依靠自己的判断做决定。
Write a response in which you discuss which view more closely aligns with your own position and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should address both of the views presented.
1、不能盲目的坚持，如果我们坚持的东西是错误的话，否则必将走向失败；如：希特勒
Blind adherence indicates nothing but ignorance and imprecise, which is a sign of foolish stubbornness:
(a) Cause self-complacence which leads to the neglect of one‘s defects. (b) If everyone sticks to his or her beliefs, that would cause the conflicts in our daily life.
The most egregious example to illustrate this point involves Hitler, whose belief that the Jews presented potential harm to him and his countrymen was completely ridiculous and fantastic, which ultimately resulted in the tragic mass persecution and even genocide.
2、有时，为了成功我们也需要暂时的妥协；如卧薪尝胆的故事，就是在力量弱的时候妥协争取生存和发展的机会，以期待日后的崛起
Long march of Chinese army
Chinese great leader---Xiaoping Deng are famous for not only great contribution to the founding of People‘s Republic of china but also his unprecedented stratagem of reform. His theory of reform is based on the objective observation of the developing trend on the whole world and the masses' will of and obvious efficiency upon the situation of china.
3、坚持信念可以走向成功
Only through firm adherence to some of one‘s beliefs could one make unique accomplishments, especially when you are only one step away from the truth,
compromise means total failure. (Martin Luther King, The independence of America, Copernicus)
Mary Curie adhere to her belief; Beethoven; heron Keller Marie Curie's belief-there must be some new matter with the feature of radioactive concealing in the industrial wastes-had enabled her to work arduously and tenaciously, and eventually given birth to the discovery of Radium, which wan Marie Curie the Nobel Prize and meanwhile contributed significantly to the progress of medical science.
3. Blind compromise is also detrimental:
(a) Concerning the decent interests of a country
(b) The loyalty to truth and the respect for individual self as well as the society.
① ②
通常政治家是the outstanding individuals in the society.如：Roosevelt 在经济危不能保证政治家做出的决策总是对的。A理论上说，他们可能为了自己的私利。 B
机时能及时挽救美国
实际上说，历史上有很多例子，关于政治家作了错误决策的。The cultural revolution
3 / 47
③ 不能忽视普通人群的判断力和决策，尤其在一个民主国家,因为政治家了解到的情
况可能不那么真实，而the public 才是真正的利益相关主体
The political issues are highly professional and requires expertise to tackle, political leaders should rely on their judgment
Political leaders, on general assumption, should be well-trained to handle highly professional issues
General public, on the other hand, can only follow rather than lead
In democratic nation, and to ensure no bias or political discriminations soil the basic interest of the general public, the voice of the people should be taken into consideration
Constitutionally legitimate for people to participate political affairs and defend their own rights

59. Scientists and other researchers should focus their research on areas that are likely to benefit the greatest number of people.
科学家和科研人员应该研究更容易造福大众的领域。
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the recommendation and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, describe specific circumstances in which adopting the recommendation would or would not be advantageous and explain how these examples shape your position.
当确定一些领域的优先权时，比如科学、教育等，最需要考虑的问题是：有多少人会从中获益?
Partly agree
1. 能够解决现在最urgent 社会问题科理所当然的应该给予优先权。如：通信，经济，商科，法律、医学。A哪些人会受益。B实际证明这些学科也是最兴旺发达的。最优秀的学生通常都去了这些地方。。医学、生物研究，对治病的作用；农学研究对基本生活需要的满足；工程研究对建设的作用
2. 有一些看起来没什么用的长期看会很有用。哲学、文学、历史、数学、物理（其它科的基础）。一些科学不要反对
3. 在研究成果没有出来之前，我们很难判断哪些是能给最多人带来利益的。因此，让其平衡发展。按照经济学的观点，那些已经兴旺发达的学科，政府不需给予太多关注，否则几年后供大于求；而那些现在默默无闻的学科今后可能是很有用的学科，需要给予扶持。 一些已经很好的学科或许不能太过于投入，而一些不是很发达的则需要大力支持。

I agree insofar as areas of research certain to result in immediate and significant benefits for society should continue to be a priority. Yet, strictly followed, the speaker‘s
recommendation would have a harmful chilling effect on research and new knowledge. 1. Admittedly, scientific research whose societal benefits are immediate, predictable, and profound should continue to be a high priority.
2. However, this is not to say that research whose benefits are less immediate or clear should be given lower priority. First of all, if we strictly follow the speaker‘s suggestion, who would decide which areas of research are more worthwhile than others? Researchers cannot be left to decide.
3. Secondly, to compel all researchers to focus only on certain areas would be to force many to waste their true talents.
4. Thirdly, it is difficult to predict which research avenues will ultimately lead to the greatest contributions to society.

12. Governments should offer a free university education to any student who has been admitted to a university but who cannot afford the tuition.
对任何被大学录取但无法承担学费的学生，政府应该为他们提供免费大学教育。
Write a response in which you discuss your views on the policy and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider the possible consequences of implementing the policy and explain how these consequences shape your position.
(1) College and university attracts the students with its incomparable advantages:教育的重要性
(a) Peerless faculties and advanced facilities (b) Atmosphere for studying
(2) Due to its high tuition, many talented, earnest and industrious students could not afford it and thus may be deprived of the opportunity to study in college and university. Thus some people propose the above suggestion. However, it is impracticable and irrational: (a) Too ponderous a burden on the finance of government. (b) The quality of education could no longer be assured (c) The students might lose the impetus to study as diligent as they do at the time.
(3) Other auxiliary projects could help to solve the problems:
(a) Scholarship, stipend, interest-free loan. City and country library, and correspondence course.
