2、 “playlists” for students who then chose the “modality” in which they wished to learn software, a virtual teacher or a flesh-and-blood one. A different algorithm sorted teachers specialties and schedules to match a students needs. “It generates the lessons, the tests and it grades the tests,” one ve

3、teran instructor marveled.2009年，时代杂志发文称赞三所纽约市公立学校试点推行的在线数学课程，称其是该年度的五十大杰出创新成果之一。该课程软件每天都会生成个性化的数学课“播放列表”，学生可根据想要学习的内容选择具体的“播放模式”。这款课程软件既是一位虚拟教师，也会呈现出一种有血有肉的真实形象。通过一种特别的算法，课程软件对所有教师的专业课程与排课时间进行分类，以满足每位学生的需求。一位资深讲师就曾惊叹称，“这款软件不仅能够生成课程与测试内容，还可对测试结果进行评分”。Although the program made only modest improvements

4、 in students math scores and was adopted by only a handful of New York schools (not the 50 for which it was slated), it serves as a notable example of a pattern that Andrea Gabor charts in “After the Education Wars.” For more than three decades, an unlikely coalition of corporate philanthropists, ed

5、ucational technology entrepreneurs and public education bureaucrats has spearheaded a brand of school reform characterized by the overvaluing of technology and standardized testing and a devaluing of teachers and communities. The trend can be traced back to a hyperbolic 1983 report, “A Nation at Ris

Against the backdrop of an ascendant Japanese economy and consistent with President Reagans disdain for public education (and teachers unions), “A Nation at Risk” blamed Americas ineffectual schools for a “rising

7、tide of mediocrity” that was diminishing Americas global role in a new high-tech world.虽然该课程并未大幅提升学生的数学成绩，且仅有少数纽约学校采用(并非预期进驻的50所学校)，但却是安德烈埃加博尔(Andrea Gabor)在教育战争(After the Education Wars)中所提出的教改模式的一个典型范例。三十多年来，看似不可能达成统一战线的众多企业慈善家、教育技术企业家和公共教育官员率先掀起一股学校改革风潮，其特点就是极度重视技术及标准化测试，同时弱化对教师和社会的关注。这一风潮可以追溯到罗纳

8、德里根政府时期的“国家教育卓越委员会(National Commission on Excellence in Education)”于1983年发布的一份风格夸张的报告处于危险中的国家(A Nation at Risk)。在日本经济崛起的背景下，里根总统曾对美国的公共教育(及教师工会)表现出蔑视之情，与此相呼应，处于危险中的国家也将美国“平庸之辈越来越多”归咎于美国学校的无能，认为这些庸才正不断削弱美国在高新科技领域的全球影响力。Policymakers turned their focus to public education as a matter of national securi

9、ty, one too important (and potentially too profitable) to entrust to educators. The notion that top-down decisions by politicians, not teachers, should determine what children need was a thread running through the bipartisan 2001 No Child Left Behind Act, the Obama administrations Race to the Top an

10、d state-initiated Common Core standards, and the current charter-driven agenda of Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos. “Accountability” became synonymous with standardized tests, resulting in a testing juggernaut with large profits going to commercial publishing giants like Pearson.政策制定者随后将关注点转向公共教育领

11、域。在政策制定者看来，公共教育已上升至国家安全的高度，其重要性(或高盈利性)完全无法让政策制定者将发展公共教育的任务放心交予教育部门。有种观点认为，决定儿童教育需求的应当是政治人物(而非教师群体)自上而下的政策决策，而从2001年美国两党支持通过的“有教无类法案(No Child Left Behind Act)”，到奥巴马政府的“力争上游(Race to the Top)”计划与州共同核心课程标准，再到现任美国教育部长贝琪德沃斯(Betsy DeVos)推行的特许学校议程，这一观念始终贯穿其中。“责任制”已成为标准化测试的代名词，导致培生教育(Pearson)等教育测试领域的大体量、高利润机

12、构转型成为商业出版巨头。The education wars have been demoralizing for teachers, over 17 percent of whom drop out within their first five years. No one believes that teaching to the test is good pedagogy, but what are the options when students future educational choices, teachers salaries and retention and, in s

She describes the turns in New York Citys testing-obsessed policies, the undermining of Michigans once fine public schools and the heartbreaking failure of New Or

14、leans to remake its schools after Hurricane Katrina.教育战争削弱了教师队伍的斗志，超过17%的教师在入职不到五年内离职。没有人相信应试教育是一种有效的教育方法，但当学生的继续教育选择、教师的薪资与留任，乃至美国某些州整所学校的前途命运都取决于学生的测试成绩时，他们还能有哪些选择?加博尔在其书中极其详尽地记述了教育改革的制度缺陷：纽约市教育测试狂热政策引发诸多转变;密歇根州公立学校的昔日优势遭到削弱;卡特里娜飓风肆虐过后，新奥尔良市在重建学校时也遭遇令人心碎的困境。passage 2Angkor is one of the most impor

20、n of Siem Reap, the seat of the province and a tourism hub.吴哥建筑群囊括了高棉时期的所有重要建筑和水文工程系统，全方位展现了该地遗址的完整性，同时也反映出历代城池的辉煌历史。然而，遗址的完整性目前正面临着双重压力。其一是内生性压力：遗址区域零星散布着112个历史聚居点，居民人数超过10万，而他们正在想方设法扩大自身的居住区域;其二是外生性压力：当地与暹粒镇相邻，而暹粒镇正位于暹粒省首府，是一处旅游业中心。Angkor is one of the largest archaeological sites in operation in

25、认识与了解吴哥遗址的历史，以及作为这些璀璨非物质文化遗产缔造者的吴哥当地居民。吴哥堪称历史文化的活化石，这里的高棉人(特别是当地居民)在先祖传统方面通常极为守旧，而他们所坚守的大量古老文化习俗在其他地方早已消失殆尽，因此，开展这些研究旨在将“非物质文化”与历史遗迹的保护联系起来，使当地居民意识到吴哥遗迹保护的重要性和必要性，从而为当地遗址的开发工作提供协助。Moreover, the Angkor Archaeological Park is very rich in medicinal plants, used by the local population for treatment of

26、 diseases. The Preah Khan temple is considered to have been a university of medicine and the NeakPoan an ancient hospital.此外，吴哥考古公园(Angkor Archaeological Park)内还生长着种类丰富的药用植物，当地居民用它们治疗多种疾病。圣剑寺(Preah Khan)据信过去曾是一所医药学府，而尼克潘(NeakPoan)则被认为是一家古老的医院。汉译英passage 1预计到2020年，全国60岁以上老年人口将增加到2.55亿人左右，占总人口比重提升到17.
