advocating contrast while established visits
A recent BBC documentary, which filmed an experiment in which five Chinese teachers taught 50
students according to Chinese-style education norms at a school in the United Kingdom, has sparked a
__1 online debate on whether Chinese or Western methods are better. But 2 a debate is not new,
despite the talk of a cultural clash.
The West has for long promoted small classes 3 focus on students' individuality and
differences, emphasize student-teacher interactions and attach great importance to cultivating students'
independence, creativity and ability to communicate. In 4 , classes in China are 5 (that is,
they have many students), in which teachers are the center, and emphasize uniformity, discipline and
teachers' authority. Chinese teaching methods focus on students' diligence, obedience and (for want of a
better term) ability to imitate.
The latest online 6 has again raised the question: Which teaching method is better, the
Chinese or the Western? For long, most Chinese people and 7 have taken it for granted that the
Western education model is superior to the Chinese.
But with the rise of China, especially after Shanghai students' excellent performance in the Program
for International Student Assessment over the past years, Western governments and 8 have
become less certain about the efficacy of their teaching methods. The fact that students nurtured under
the Chinese education model can be equal to or better than their Western 9 has highlighted the
advantages of the China's education model. In particular, the British secretary of education's visit to
China to review the Chinese teaching methods and some Chinese teachers' 10 to the UK to provide
"educational aid" seem to be a shot in the arm for the Chinese education model.
Many Chinese now believe China's basic education system lays a more solid foundation for
students compared with its 11 counterparts. The main reason for 12 is most of the Chinese
students who go to Western countries for higher education perform excellently despite having to follow
Western curricula, 13 Western students usually find it difficult to cope with China's teaching
methods.
Media reports say the BBC will use a third party to assess how competent students traveling either
way are in mathematics, science, English and Chinese before determining which education model is
more useful for students, the Chinese 14 the Western. But such comparison and 15 are
unscientific.
A country uses a teaching method only as a tool used to realize a specific social purpose, and thus
comparisons 16 the Chinese and Western education models are uncalled for. Before comparing
one education model with 17 , researchers and analysts should consider the different functions
different teaching methods are supposed to perform in their respective social context.
China's education model is more suited to its social demands; the same applies to the Western
model. Despite the Chinese government 18 the cultivation of creative talents, many Chinese still

want people to be obedient to their parents, teachers and senior officials. As a result, China's education
model continues to focus on the sanctity（尊严）of texts and rules.
In China, students are expected to be observant but 19 . But the Western model focuses on
cultivating students' creativity, and encourages them to criticize 20 views and defend their stance.
As such, both the Chinese and Western education models have succeeded in developing the qualities in
students that suit their social demands.
Therefore, the aim of a comparative study of Chinese and Western education models should be to
promote mutual reference and combine the two into an organic whole that would benefit both teaching
methods.
Section B
Direction: Read the following passage carefully, and fill in each blank with an appropriate word to achieve
cohesion and coherence of the context. (10%)
This year’s UN climate 1 is kicking off right now at the Qatar National Convention Centre in
Doha. It encompasses the 18th Conference of the Parties (COP18) to the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the 8th Meeting of the parties to the Kyoto Protocol
(CMP8). Over the next two weeks, nearly 200 nations are seeking to extent a flagging UN-led plan to
fight 2 change into 2013.
About 17,000 people including delegates and visitors are in attendance, making it Doha’s largest
ever conference. Delegates are looking for a way to extend the Kyoto Protocol, 3 is the only
legally binding U.N. plan for cutting emissions by developed 4 . It’s not going to be an easy task
given the global economic slowdown and the loss of backing from Russia, Japan and Canada. The
meeting will also seek to lay the groundwork for a new pact for 2020. This agreement would bind all
nations - not just the rich - to curb emissions. The effects of climate change are becoming more apparent
than ever, with floods, droughts, heat waves, the melting Arctic ice caps and rising sea levels.
A U.N. study released last week said that rising greenhouse gas 5 indicated that global
temperatures are on course to 6 between 3 and 5 degrees Celsius. That would have a catastrophic
effect 7 water and food supplies. A UN conference two years ago saw states agree to try and limit
the temperature rises to no more than 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial times. But despite this
commitment, greenhouse gas levels hit record highs in 2011, despite a world economic 8 .
For many, the 1997 Kyoto pact still offers the best hope of fighting climate change. It binds
developed nations to cut greenhouse gas emissions to an average 5.2 percent below 1990 levels
____9___ the years 2008 and 2012.
But with many countries reluctant to continue into the second commitment period, Kyoto backers
are down to a core group led by the European Union and Australia. Together, they account for less than
15 percent of world emissions. These countries say it’s pointless to extend cuts under Kyoto when big
emerging nations, led by China, India, Brazil and South Africa, are under no obligation to curb their
emissions. The United States never ratified （批准）Kyoto, for similar reasons. 10 nations and
Kyoto backers say it is vital that the rich countries lead the way towards a new world-wide accord.
That’s due to be negotiated by the end of 2015 and to enter into force in 2020.
