　　Part I Writing

　　One possible version:

　　Education: Examination-Oriented or Quality-Oriented

　　From primary school to college, students, teachers and parents all are struggling for high scores. This is because the current education system is not aimed at quality, but only at developing students’ ability to perform well on tests. As a result, many students, even those with high scores, often do poorly when it comes to the practical application of what they’ve learned.

　　Therefore, China is challenging examination-oriented education by advocating quality-oriented education. The alternative will focus on the students’ ability as a whole. The exam results will no longer play a key role in evaluating a student.

　　Personally, I firmly believe in the effectiveness of this new policy. I have seen in my mind’s eye the more dedicated study, the looser environment, yet the more creative minds of the future students. Our education, so to speak, will bring up a new generation.

　　Part II Reading Comprehension

　　(Skimming and Scanning)

　　1. B)�？v觀全文可知，本文主要講述的是“有更多的人利用自己掌握的專業(yè)知識或技術(shù)在網(wǎng)上賺錢”。

　　2. D)。參見第二段 “LivePerson Inc., a Web site where clients pay for online chat time with professionals and advisers of all fields.”可知，在LivePerson網(wǎng)站上，咨詢者付費后可向該網(wǎng)站上各領(lǐng)域的專業(yè)人士咨詢。

　　3. B)。參見第四段 “Labor-at-the-keyboard sites are gaining popularity as people increasingly turn to the Web in search of work.”可知，該網(wǎng)站越來越受歡迎是因為有更多的人轉(zhuǎn)向網(wǎng)絡(luò)尋找工作。

　　4. C)。參見第七段末句“The site takes a commission of between 30% and 35%.”可知，網(wǎng)站從咨詢者交的錢中提取30%到35%的傭金，所以，剩下的部分應(yīng)該是由那些網(wǎng)絡(luò)“專家”獲得，按照比列應(yīng)該是65%到70%。

　　5. C)。根據(jù)第十五段“began as a way to help Amazon manage its product database”可知，Mechanical Turk最初的設(shè)計目的是“幫助Amazon管理它的產(chǎn)品數(shù)據(jù)庫”。
