    Yes:
    If students have access to more courses, they are likely to have more opportunities to choose the subject they prefer. In this way, students can learn with more enthusiasm and passion and will feel less bored with their lessons.
    A more diverse subject system can also cultivate more well-rounded students. Mathematics and physics are of great help to students’ logical and abstract thinking; some humanity subjects such as literature and aesthetics can enhance students’ capabilities of appreciation and judgment.
    By attending a wide range of courses students can better understand the world and the society from various perspectives.
    No:
    Allowing students to select a small number of subjects gives them the opportunity to be only immersed in their favorite classes or what they are good at instead of those they have no clue at all.
    Teenagers focusing on a few subjects tend to be able to perform better because they can concentrate their limited time and energy on a narrow range of school work. The increased efficiency and academic results in turn enhance their confidence in their academic achievements.
    Students who concentrate on limited subjects are more likely to become specialists in certain fields.

答案 Should Secondary Schools Aim to Provide Liberal Education? There has been a debate about the range of subjects students are encouraged to learn in secondary schools. Some people advocating liberal education hold the view that a diverse subject system can give students more chances to choose their favorite subjects, cultivate more versatile students and make students understand the world better. However, those proposing specialized education believe that focusing on limited subjects allows students to concentrate on what they like, and therefore they are more likely to perform better and get greater achievements. From my point of view, adolescents should be exposed to various disciplines. On the one hand, knowledge of diverse areas can arouse students’ curiosity about the world and help them understand the world systematically because there are direct or indirect interrelations among various subjects. On the other hand, teenagers are too young to decide their future career. Therefore, liberal education provided by secondary schools can help students identify their academic and professional tendency. In a word, specialized education does have some positive influence on those students who have talent in one field. Nevertheless, we can’t say it is the best education method since most students can benefit a lot from liberal education.
解析     本题讨论的是中学是否应该提供通识教育，为学生提供更多的课程种类。在具体行文方面，考生首先要总结材料，概述正反双方的观点。然后给出自己的观点，即中学应该提供通识教育，学生应该接触更多不同的学科，并给出理由。最后总结全文。
    开头部分第一段阐述背景并概述正反双方的观点。正方观点：中学应提供通识教育，因为多样化的课程系统给学生提供了更多的机会选择自己喜爱的课程，可以培养更多全面发展的学生，并让学生能够更深刻地理解世界。反方观点：中学应提供专才教育，因为专注于有限的课程可以让学生只学习自己喜欢的课程，这样学生更有可能表现良好并取得更大的成就。
    中间部分通过“From my point of view…”引出自己的观点：中学应提供通识教育。并用“On the one hand…”和“On the other hand…”阐述理由：不同领域的知识能唤起学生对世界的好奇心并帮助他们系统地认识世界，因为各学科之间都是有联系的；通识教育有助于学生确定自己的学术和职业选择。
    结尾部分通过“In a word…”总结全文，指出专才教育确实对一些在某方面有专长的学生有帮助，但是通识教育会让大多数学生受益。
