First, the early city streets had become crowded with horse-drawn carriages, making it difficult for people to get around. Second, public transportation was needed to connect different parts of the city and help people travel longer distances. Finally, the buses provided a much-needed public service for those who could not afford their own transportation. In the beginning, buses were pulled by horses, but in the 1900s, buses with small gasoline engines were introduced. Today, buses are an important part of many cities' transportation systems.短文2Leonardo da Vinci was one of the most talented artists in history. Although he is most famous for his paintings, suchas the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper, he was also a skilled architect, engineer, and scientist.

Leonardo is often considered the epitome of the "Renaissance Man" because of his wide range of interests and abilities. His work continues to inspire and amaze people today.长对话1Host: Welcome to our show, "Finding Your Passion". Today, we have a special guest, Sarah Thompson, a successful entrepreneur.

One of the main points that Gladwell emphasizes isthe idea that success is not solely based on individualeffort, but is often influenced by external factors. Heargues that these external factors, such as cultural background, family upbringing, and opportunities for practice, play a significant role in shaping a person's success.Gladwell introduces the concept of the "10,000-hour rule," which suggests that achieving mastery in any field requires approximately 10,000 hours of deliberate practice. However, he also points out that access to the necessaryresources and opportunities for practice is not equal for everyone. For example, he discusses the case of the Beatles, who achieved great success due in part to the countless hours they spent honing their craft in the clubs of Hamburg, Germany.Another important factor that Gladwell examines is the cultural legacy that individuals inherit. He argues that cultural attitudes and traditions can heavily influence a person's chances of success. For instance, Gladwell discusses the phenomenon of the "rice paddy thinking" among Asian cultures, which emphasizes hard work, persistence, and discipline. He believes that this cultural mindset contributes to the high levels of success found among Asians in fields such as mathematics and technology.Gladwell's book challenges the notion of success as purely a result of individual talent and effort. He argues that the circumstances and opportunities that peopleencounter can greatly impact their chances of success. By highlighting the significance of external factors, Gladwell encourages readers to consider the broader societal influences that shape individual achievements.篇章2The advent of new technology has greatly transformed various aspects of our lives, including the ways we work, communicate, and entertain ourselves. One area that has been significantly impacted by technology is education. With the integration of digital tools and resources into traditional classrooms, the landscape of education has undergone a major shift.One of the main ways in which technology has transformed education is through the use of online learning platforms. These platforms allow students to access educational materials and resources from anywhere at any time. This flexibility has greatly expanded educational opportunities,especially for those who may not have access to traditional classrooms or live in remote areas. Additionally, online learning platforms often offer interactive features, such as quizzes and discussion boards, which help engage students and promote active learning.Another area that has been transformed by technology is teaching methods. In traditional classrooms, teachers typically deliver lectures and assign readings for students to complete. However, technology has opened up new possibilities for delivering content in more engaging and interactive ways. For example, teachers can use multimedia presentations, videos, and simulations to bring concepts to life and enhance students' understanding. Technology also allows for personalized learning experiences, as students can progress at their own pace and receive instant feedback on their work.Furthermore, technology has revolutionized the assessment process. Traditional methods of assessment, such as written exams and essays, are still used, but technology has introduced new ways of evaluating students' knowledge and skills. For instance, online assessments can track students' progress over time and provide detailed analytics on their strengths and areas for improvement. In addition, technology allows for more authentic and real-world assessments, such as projects and presentations, which better reflect the skills needed in the professional world.In conclusion, technology has had a profound impact on education, changing the way we learn and teach. With the integration of digital tools and resources, education has become more accessible, engaging, and personalized. As technology continues to evolve, it will undoubtedly continue to shape the future of education.。

2019年12月英语六级听力原文(卷一)※Section A—— ConversationConversation 1W: Professor Henderson could you give us a brief overview of what you do, where you work and your main area of research?M: Well the Center for Climate Research where I work s the science of climate change to issues around economics and policy.Some of our research is to do with the likely impacts of climate change and all of the associated risks.W: And how strong is the evidence that climate change is happening that it's really something we need to be worried about.M: Well most of the science of climate change particularly that to do with global warming is simply fact.But other aspects of the science are less certain or at least more disputed.And so we're really talking about risk what the economics tells us is that it's probably cheaper to avoid climate change to avoid the risk than it has to deal with the likely consequences.W: So what are we doing? What can we do about it?M: Well I would argue that we need to develop the science specifically to understand the likely impacts of climate change in different contexts.As I said we need to understand the best ways of avoiding climate change and this will involve a huge transition to low carbon energy systems and the transition is a tremendous priority.And for this to happen, we may need action on a global scale from a political perspective.We need to understand the terms on which major countries like China and the USA might sign up to a global agreement because at the moment we don't have that consensus.W: Right.M: And we also need to plan ahead so that we're in a position to deal with the likely levels of climate change which are already inevitable and even more so to for the levels that are likely if we don't get those global agreements.Q1. What does Professor H say about his main area of research?Q2. What does Professor H say about climate change?Q3. What does Professor H say is a top priority in combating climate change?Q4. What does Professor H advise us to do to better deal with climate change?Conversation 2W: I have many business English students. When I teach the classroom, we often end up talking about things like success and what leads to success. And it's interesting that many of them mention the element of luck.M: Right.W: Luck is important to success. But since you've seen that fantastic video on the TED Talks website by Richard St. John, he doesn't mention luck at all.M: Well, I'm a firm believer that people can make their own luck. I mean what people regard as luck, you can actually create, to a degree.W: Sure. I think a lot of what people consider luck is attributed to how you respond to the opportunities that come your way.M: Yes. Very good point.W: Seizing the opportunities. But was there any point in the video that you thought was particularly interesting?M: Yes. Actually there was. Something very impressive to me as many people think that luck is important and that natural talent is something you must have in order to be successful. And in the video we saw, the point about getting good at something is not about having some natural talent.It's all about practice, practice, practice.W: Definitely yeah. Natural talent helps in some way but at the end of the day you really do need to work hard and get really really good at what you do.M: Sure.W: I thought one interesting thing in the video was the idea of passion being so important and that people who really love what they do. Of course you're going to want to work harder and put the time and effort into it. And the funny thing is that if you love what you do and are really passionate about it and work really hard, the money kind of comes automatically.Q5. What are the speakers mainly talking about?Q6. What is the woman’s view of luck?Q7. What is the chief point the TED Talks video makes?Q8. What does the woman think is the funny thing in the TED Talks video?Section BPassage OneDevil’s Tower, the first national monument in America, could almost be mistaken for the stump of an enormous tree. Its sheer rock size sweep up from a broad base until they cut off abruptly at the flat summit. Rising more than one thousand feet in the middle of the gently rolling plains at Wyoming. The massive column of rock looks as though it was dropped down into this location from a different time and place. In a sense it was, Devil’s Tower is a relic of the past. When the melted rock of the earth’s core forced its way to the surface to form the throat of a volcano. As the centuries passed, the rock cooled and hardened, shrinking and cracking int o long columns. Born in fire and fury, Devil’sTower was then shaped by the slow, gentle work of wind and water.The outer layers of the volcano were worn away until the hard core stood completely exposed. Small wonder that an Indian legend described De vil’s Tower as being formed by supernatural powers. The legend says that when seven girls were attacked by bears, they took refuge on top of a small rock, and appealed to the rock god for help. The god caused the rock to grow and to lift the girls far above the ground, while its sides were scored by the claws of the angry bears. Even today, says the legend, the girls can be seen above the tower in rock as seven shining stars in the night’s sky.Q9:What does Devil’s Tower look like?Q10: What caused t he volcano’s outer layer to wear away?Q11:What does Indian legend say about Devil’s Tower?Q12: How did the rock god help the seven girls in the Indian legend?Passage TwoIt’s no accident that most gas stations have convenient stores attached. Few of us can fill up the tank without buying a few snacks, cigarettes, soft drinks or other items we can live without. “I deserve it!” that's what hard-working men and women say to justify their lavish vacations, big stereo systems or regular restaurant meals. They do deserve such indulgences. However, they also deserve a homeof their own, a secure retirement and freedom from worrying about unpaid bills.No one should have to live with what a Taxes mother described as constant stress tension even fear about the money. Sadly, the pleasure that comes from extravagances often disappears long before the bills do. The video camera that one single mother bought for a special occasion, for example, is not much fun now. She’s figured out that it will take her another three years to pay it off a thirty dollars a month.And the New Yorkers who spent a bundle on an outdoor hot tub, now admit that they rarely use itbecause we can’tafford to heat it in winter. The solution, said priorities, add up the annual cost of each item, then consider what else she could buy with the same money. That will help you to decide which item is really worth it. One Chicago woman, for example, discovered the daily lunches with co-workers cost her two thousand dollars a year. She decided to take lunch to work instead. “I now put twenty dollars a week into my vacation fund, and another twenty into retirement savings,” she says, “those mean more to me than lunch."Q13: What does the speaker say about drivers who stop at gas stations?Q14: What does the speaker say about extravagances?Q15: What does the speaker want to show by the example of the Chicago woman?Section C -- Recording OneLet’s say y ou start to brain storm a list of all the emotions you ever experienced. Just for fun, try it now.What’s on your list? Chances are, you included things like: happy, sad, excited, angry, afraid, grateful, proud, scared, confused, stressed, relaxed and amazed. Now sort your list into two categories: positive emotions and negative emotions.Feeling both positive and negative emotions is a natural part of being human. We might use the word “negative” to describe more difficult emotions but it does not mean those emotions are bad or we shouldn’t have them. Still, most people were probably rather feel a positive emotion than a negative one. It’s likely you prefer to feel happy instead of sad or confident instead of insecure.What matters is how our emotions are balanced. How much of each type of the emotion positive or negative we experience.Negative emotions warn us of threats or challenges that we may need to deal with. For example, fear can alert us to possible dange r, it’s a signal that we might need to protect ourselves. Angry feelings warn us that someone is stepping on our toes, crossing a boundary or violating our trust. Anger can be a signal that we might have to act on our own behalf.Negative emotions focus our awareness. They help us to zero in on a problem so we can deal with it. But too many negative emotions can make us feel overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted or stressed out. When negative emotions are out of balance, problems might seem too big to handle.The more we dwell on our negative emotions, they more negative we begin to feel. Focusing on negativity just keeps it going.Positive emotions balance out negative ones, but they have other powerful benefits, too. Instead of narrowing our focus, like negative emotions do, positive emotions affect our brains in ways that increase our awareness, attention and memory. They help us take in more information, hold several ideas in mind at once and understand how different ideas relate to each other.When positive emotions open us up to new possibilities, we are more able to learn and build on our skills. That leads to doing better on tasks and tests.People who have plenty of positive emotions in their everyday lives tend to be happier, healthier, learn better and get along well with others.Q16. What does the speaker say about negative emotions?Q17.What happens to people whose negative emotions are out of balance?Q18. How do positive emotions affect us?Section C -- Recording TwoIn the past few months, I've been travelling for weeks at a time with only one suitcase of clothes. One day, I was invited to an important event, and I wanted to wear something special for it. I looked through my suitcase but couldn'tfind anything to wear. I was lucky to be at the technology conference then, and I had access to 3D printers. So Iquickly designed a skirt on my computer, and I loaded thefile on the printer. It just printed the pieces overnight.The next morning, I just took all the pieces, assembled them together in my hotel room, and this is actually the skirtthat I'm wearing right now.So it wasn't the first time that I printed clothes. For my senior collection at fashion design school, I decided totry and 3D print an entire fashion collection from my home. The problem was that I barely knew anything about 3D printing, and I had only nine months to figure out how to print five fashionable looks.I always felt most creative when I worked from home. I love experimenting with new materials, and I always tried to develop new techniques to make the most unique textiles formy fashion projects.One summer break, I came here to New York for an internship at a fashion house in Chinatown. We worked on two incredible dresses that were 3D printed. They were amazing -- like you can see here. But I had a few problems with them. They were made from hard plastics and that's why they werevery breakable. The models couldn't sit in them, and theyeven got scratched from the plastics under their arms.So now, the main challenge was to find the rightmaterial for printing clothes with, I mean the material you feed the printer with. The breakthrough came when I was introduced to Filaflex, which is a new kind of printing material. It's strong, yet very flexible. And with it, I was able to print the first garment, a red jacket that had the word "freedom" embedded into it. And actually, you can easilydownload this jacket, and change the word to something else. For example, your name or your sweetheart's name.So I think in the future, materials will evolve, and they will look and feel like fabrics we know today, like cotton or silk.Q19. What does the speaker say about the skirt she is wearing now?Q20. When did the speaker start experimenting with 3D printing?Q21. What was the problem with the material the speaker worked on at a New York fashion house?Q22. What does the speaker say about Filaflex?※2016年12月英语六级成绩查询时间:根据历年英语六级成绩查询时间,预测2016年12月英语六级成绩查询于2017年2月中下旬开始,请广大考生密切注重###。

2019年12月六级真题答案(第一套)Part I WritingProblems such as the violation of privacy and environmental pollution are becoming increasingly prevalent in modern society.To some extent,they can be ascribed to a distinct lack of a sense of social responsibility among enterprises and individuals,which is of crucial importance in building a better world.When seeking profits,socially responsible corporations never forget to make positive contributions to our society.Take Alibaba,a leading tech company in China.The Ant Forest green initiative it launched in2016has so far inspired up to500million Alipay users to adopt low-carbon lifestyles and resulted in over100million trees planted in China’s most barren regions.At the individual level,a sense of social responsibility motivates us college students to acquire as much knowledge as possible and put it into practice.It also prevents us from engaging in unethical behaviors such as campus violence and academic misconduct that cause negative social impacts.To sum up,a healthy society requires all its members to take on their respective responsibilities.Everyone, therefore,should develop a sense of social responsibility,especially we college students who will be a pillar of society in the future.Part II Listening ComprehensionSection A1.D2.C3.B4.A5.A6.D7.D8.BSection B9.C10.A11.A12.B13.A14.C15.DSection C16.D17.C18.C19.D20.A21.B22.B23.C24.A25.BPart III Reading ComprehensionSection A26.G27.J28.E29.A30.L31.B32.O33.C34.D35.NSection B36.G37.C38.H39.D40.B41.E42.J43.F44.I45.ASection C46.A47.D48.B49.B50.B51.C52.A53.D54.B55.CPart IV Translation参考译文The peony,boasting bright colors and an elegant appearance,is a symbol of peace and prosperity and thus recognized as“king of the flowers”in China.Peonies are bred and grown in many parts of the country.Over the centuries,numerous poems and paintings have been created to praise the flower.Peonies were particularly popular during the Tang Dynasty,when they were extensively cultivated in the imperial gardens and praised as the national flower.In the tenth century,the ancient city of Luoyang became the center for peony cultivation,a position it still holds today.Nowadays,thousands of tourists from home and abroad flock to Luoyang for the annual Peony Festival to both admire the unique beauty of the city’s peonies and explore the history of the ancient capital of nine dynasties.2019年12月六级真题答案(第二套)Part I WritingHome should be where people feel secure and comfortable.Maintaining harmony at home is essential for the well-being of an individual,a couple and their offspring,and even the society.But many are being plagued by family discord,a problem that boils down to the lack of a sense of family responsibility.Everyone has certain roles to take on in his or her family.Parents are expected to ensure their children are well-nourished and well-educated,helping them build a strong body and great character.We college students also need to take our responsibility as adult children.Being independent of our parents as early as possible lightens the financial burden on them.Learning to be mature and sensible can prevent us from becoming a constant source of worry to them. Fulfilling our filial duty to the best of our abilities allows them to enjoy life in midlife years,retirement and the twilight years.In brief,a sense of responsibility among family members is a prerequisite for a warm and loving family.Often far away from home,we may start by keeping in contact with our parents,as a means to meet our obligations as part of our family.Part II Listening ComprehensionSection A1.A2.B3.A4.C5.D6.B7.C8.BSection B9.C10.D11.D12.A13.B14.C15.A.Section C16.D17.A18.B19.D20.A21.C22.C23.B24.D25.CPart III Reading ComprehensionSection A26.K27.C28.N29.M30.D31.I32.H33.J34.O35.LSection B36.C37.E38.A39.F40.M41.G42.B43.H44.D45.LSection C46.C47.A48.A49.D50.B51.C52.B53.A54.D55.CPart IV Translation参考译文The plum blossom,the king of China’s top ten famous flowers,originated in southern China and has been cultivated for over3000years.In the depths of winter,colorful plum blossoms bloom vibrantly amidst the wind and snow,unhindered by severe frost.The plum blossom,a symbol of strength,purity and elegance in traditional Chinese culture,motivates people to brave hardship and forge ahead.Since ancient times,many poets and painters have been drawing inspirations from plum blossoms and created countless immortal works.Plum blossoms are also very popular with the general public and often used as home decoration during the Spring Festival.Nanjing has designated the plum blossom as the city flower and holds the Plum Blossom Festival each year,which attracts thousands of people to Plum Blossom Hill to enjoy the full bloom in the snow irrespective of the severe cold2019年12月六级真题答案(第三套)Part I WritingAny community is composed of individuals.Naturally,it matters a great deal to our communities that we have a sense of responsibility towards them.People living in the same area should be considered a group under an obligation to create a comfortable living environment for the whole community.Reaching this goal requires a sense of responsibility among all residents, which encourages them to start with small steps,such as to avoid making excessive noise that disturbs their neighbors. Moreover,a sense of collective responsibility among us students contributes to a warm and friendly atmosphere, where we respect and help each other,as well as a strong communal sense of belonging.It will ultimately be conducive to our academic and moral progress.After we graduate from college and get employed,we will find ourselves in a new community made up of colleagues.A sense of community responsibility,also known as team spirit in the workplace,will be the key to forming a united and cohesive group,where we strive towards a common objective in close cooperation with each other.In conclusion,a sense of community responsibility is worth fostering in that it plays a significant role in living, learning and working.Part II Listening Comprehension(略)Part III Reading ComprehensionSection A26.E27.L28.H29.A30.J31.B32.I33.D34.F35.KSection B36.F37.C38.J39.D40.G41.A42.I43.E44.B45.KSection C46.B47.B48.D49.A50.C51.A52.C53.D54.A55.DPart IV Translation参考译文The lotus flower,one of China’s famous flowers,has been deeply loved by Chinese kes and ponds in many parts of China are suitable for the growth of lotus plants.The lotus flower,which is bright in color,blooms in the early morning and closes at night in summer,with the flowering lasting up to two or three months,attracting visitors from all over the country.The lotus has multiple uses,including purifying water,reducing pollution and improving the environment,as well as greening water surfaces and beautifying gardens.The flower is characterized by its abilities to tolerate intense sun exposure and emerge pure and clean from the murky water,thus symbolizing purity and elegance. So it is often used as a metaphor for a person’s noble character and has been a main subject for poets and painters throughout history.Places with lotus flowers in full bloom are also frequented by many photography enthusiasts.。

2019年12月英语六级长篇阅读练习题(1)Section BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived.You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.The Great Charter TryoutA. Long before Sci Academy, a charter school in New Orleans, had graduated its first senior class, the school was being heaped with accolades ( 称赞). In September 2010, when Sci Academy was just two years old, its 200 excited students--then all freshmen and sophomores--filed into Greater St. Stephen Baptist church, next door to the school. Together with local dignitaries ( 显要人物 ), journalists, and a brass band, the students watched on huge screens as the leaders of six charter schools from around the country appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show. At the end of the show, they watched as Oprah handed each charter-school leader—including Ben Marcovitz, Sci Academy's founder—a $1 million check.B. Sci Academy is a flagship charter school and a model of the new data-driven, business-infused approach to education that has won its worship in New Orleans. After Hurricane Katrina in 2005, education reformers swept away what remained of the traditional public schools in what hadbeen one of the nation's lowest- performing districts. In their place, charters promised choice and increased accountability( 负责制 ). More than 75 percent of New Orleans kids landed in schools controlled by the so-called Recovery School District, which was heavily dominated by charter schools.C. "This transformation of the New Orleans educational system may turn out to be the most significant national development in education since desegregation," wrote Neerav Kingsland, the CEO of New Schools for New Orleans, the city's leading venture-philanthropy group incubating local charter schools, a year ago. "New Orleans students have access to educational opportunities that are far superior to any in recent memory."D. But eight years after Hurricane Katrina, there is evidence that the picture is far more complicated. Seventy- nine percent of RSD charters are still rated D or F by the Louisiana Department of Education. Sci is one of two RSD high schools to earn a B; there are no A-rated open-admission schools. In a school system with about 42,000 mostly poor African-American kids, every year thousands are out of school at any given time-- because they are on suspension, have dropped out, or are incarcerated. Even at successful schools, such as the highly regarded Sci Academy, large numbers of students never make it to graduation, and others are unlikely to make it through college.E. Figuring out what has taken place in the New Orleans schools is not just a matter of interest to local residents. From cities like New York to towns like Muskegon Heights,Michigan, market-style reforms have been widely considered as the answer to America's educational woes. New Orleans tellsus a lot about what these reforms look like in practice. And the current reality of the city's schools should be enough to give pause to even the most passionate charter supporters.F. With its chain-link fence and campus of module-like buildings--the result of a continuing post-Hurricane Katrina building shortage--Sci Academy doesn't look much like a model school. Freshmen, wearing the polo shirts and khakis of the school uniform, are required to walk along straight red lines that snake through the school's breezeways. Placards bearing slogans, such as "No Short Cuts; No Excuses" and "Go Aboveand Beyond," hang overhead.G. Everything at Sci Academy is carefully designed to maintain discipline and focus on the school's principal mission, which is to get every student into college. Each morning, at 8 a.m., the teachers, almost all white and intheir 20s, gather for a rousing thigh-slapping, hand-clapping, rap-chanting staff revival meeting, the beginning of whatwill be, for most, a 14- to 16-hour workday. Students arrivea half hour later, and if asked "Why are you here?" and "What will it take?" are expected to respond "To learn" followed by a recitation of the school's six core values: "achievement, respect, responsibility, perseverance, teamwork, and enthusiasm."H. Both curriculum and behavior are elaborately arranged. As kids file into class, a teacher hands them their "entry ticket," a survey that helps determine how much students retained from the previous class. An "exit ticket"distributed at the end of each class establishes how much kids have absorbed. Information from the exit tickets, as well as attendance, demerits for bad behavior, and "Sci bucks" for good behavior, are keyed into the Sci software system by teachers every night to help monitor both student and teacher performance.I. After the storm, the state fired the city's unionized teachers, who were mostly middle-aged African- Americans, an action that has been challenged in court. While a few schools have hired back teachers who worked in the pre-Katrina schools, the city now relies heavily on inexperienced educators--mostly young, white, and from out of town--who are willing, at least in the short run, to put in exhausting hours. But at many schools, including Sci Academy, plenty of teachers last for less than two years.J. In New Orleans, teachers with certifications from Teach for America number close to 400, five times the level a few years ago. Within the RSD, in 2011, 42 percent of teachers had less than three years of experience; 22 percent have spent just one year or less in the classroom, according to "The State of Public Education in New Orleans," a 2012 report by the pro-charter Cowen Institute at Tulane University.K. In part to help with this lack of experience, charter schools train teachers in highly regimented routines that help them keep control of their classrooms. The city's charter-school advocates argue that in the aftermath of the storm, when charter operators had to scale up quickly, they needed to start with basics: first order and security, thenskill building. "Kids expect high school to be dangerous. They come to school with their backs up," explains Sci Academy's Marcovitz, a graduate of the elite Maret school in Washington, D.C., and Yale University. He says the routines--which are borrowed from methods pioneered by KIPP, a national charter chain that also operates schools in New Orleans--are intended to keep students focused and feeling safe.L. In one English class last fall, a teacher who had been at Sci for about a year held forth on the fine points of grammar, including the subtle difference between modal and auxiliary verbs. As a few heads drifted downward, she employed a popular charter-school management routine to hold the class's attention. "SPARK check! " she called. The acronym stands for sit straight; pencil to paper (or place hands folded in front); ask and answer questions; respect; and keep tracking the speaker.M. "Heads up, sit straight--15 seconds to go," she said, trying to get her students' attention. "All scholars please raise your homework in THREE, TWO, ONE. We need to set a goal around homework completion. I only see about one third complete homework."N. It's a long way from the city's charter school roots. In the 1990s, the city's first charter school, New Orleans Charter Middle School, was built on a progressive curriculum that used experiential projects and electives, such asbicycle repair and African dance, to foster a love of learning. The school became the most highly rated nonselective school in the city before it was devastated during Hurricane Katrina. But while its founders went on tocreate FirstLine, now one of the leading charter operators in New Orleans, the progressive roots of the charter movement have been swamped by the new realities of a competitive charter marketplace.O. Now, driven by both government policy and charitable funding--which rewards schools for preparing students for college and penalizes those that don't--most charter high schools in New Orleans describe themselves as "college prep." This may seem an admirable goal. But in a school system where the number of eighth graders who passed the end-of-course tests required to get into high school has, according to the Cowen Institute, virtually stagnated at about 60 percent, the push toward college leaves behind many of the most disadvantaged kids, who already face enormous hurdles because of poverty, parental abandonment, and one of the highest rates of gun violence in the nation. For some of these students, college is not necessarily a realistic goal.46. Teachers in charter schools are trained in strict and rigid ways since most of them are inexperienced.47. Instead of carrying on its tradition of being advanced, New Orleans Charter Middle School has to follow market rules to survive and compete with other schools.48. Students in New Orleans have got the best education opportunity they have ever had in recent years.49. Many charter high schools in New Orleans are to help students enter college, which is supported by government policy and attracts funds.50. Traditional public schools have been completely reformed in areas with worst reputation on education quality in 2005.51. Even schools like Sci Academy cannot keep teachers for long.52. Several years ago, there were only about 80 teachers with qualified certifications in New Orleans.53.Even Sci Academy, which enjoys a high reputation, fails to help a lot of students graduate.54. Various information on students can be tracked down inSci Academy's computer systems to ensure the teaching quality.55. To solve the problem of American education, many people turn to the function of market as the key.。
