第二節(jié)：讀寫任務(wù)（共1小題；滿分25分）

    閱讀下列短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語文章。

Perhaps you don’t know your school principal very well. But you might be wise to take him or her seriously. Peking University will enroll students recommended by high principals this year. November 16, 2009 Peking University released a list of 39 high school principals in 10 provinces who have the chance to recommend students. If the students recommended pass a round of interviews by Peking University, they will have an extra 30 points added to their national college entrance exam scores if they apply to the university after the exam. Peking University said the reason behind the move was a desire to give students with comprehensive and special abilities a chance to stand out.

    However, a survey conducted by leading Chinese portal sina.com showed 10046 out of 14227 people surveyed were against the new idea. Most said the recommendations were unfair on other students. Xue Yong, a Peking University alumni who is now an assistant professor at Suffolk University told the Qianjiang Evening News the experiment could be dangerous if it is abused. But Qu Jun, former deputy director of Shanghai municipal education commission, said the experiment represents much needed changed to the existing university entrance system, which has been criticized for many years.

Answer 1

This year, quality students will have a better chance to get into Peking University with recommendation from their principals．Though some people praised the reform, the majority recommendation from their principals．Though some people praised the reform, the majority surveyed showed their disapproval for its potential unfairness．

       I am one of those who are against the program.

       First of all, justice is in doubt when it comes to which school is qualified for the recommendation．As the privilege is restricted to 39 middle schools, students from less renowned ones that are not granted the right would surely have fewer opportunities．

       Secondly, the purpose of the program may not be realized．A survey shows that the chosen schools tend to recommend the best of their students, who do perfectly well in exams and do not need recommendation at all．In my opinion, the value of such a system is that candidates who are gifted in some fields but may fail the regular entrance examination can go to Peking University．As a matter of fact, the university may not get what it wants．

       Therefore, in order to make sure that excellent students with special talents can enter universities, which in turn encourages high schools to help train such students, we need more creative and efficient reforms in our education system．
