Part 2: Reading Comprehension. （40 P）

Passage A

On New Year’s Day, 50,000 inmates in Kenyan jails went without lunch. This was not some mass hunger strike to highlight poor living conditions. It was an extraordinary humanitarian gesture: the money that would have been spent on their lunches went to the charity Food Aid to help feed an estimated 3. 5 million Kenyans who, because of a severe drought, are threatened with starvation. The drought is big news in Africa, affecting huge areas of east Africa and the Horn. If you are reading this in the west, however, you may not be aware of it—the media is not interested in old stories. Even if you do know about the drought, you may not be aware that it is devastating one group of people disproportionately: the pastoralists. There are 20 million nomadic or semi-nomadic herders in this region, and they are fast becoming some of the poorest people in the continent. Their plight encapsulates Africa’s perennial problem with drought and famine.

How so? It comes down to the reluctance of governments, aid agencies and foreign lenders to support the herders’ traditional way of life. Instead they have tended to try to turn them into commercial ranchers or agriculturalists, even though it has been demonstrated time and again that pastoralists are well adapted to their harsh environments, and that moving livestock according to the seasons or climatic changes makes their methods far more viable than agriculture in sub-Saharan drylands.

Furthermore, African pastoralist systems are often more productive, in terms of protein and cash per hectare, than Australian, American and other African ranches in similar climatic conditions. They make a substantial contribution to their countries’ national economies. In Kenya, for example, the turnover of the pastoralist sector is worth $800 million per year. In countries such as Burkina Faso, Eritrea and Ethiopia, hides from pastoralists’ herds make up over 10 per cent of export earnings. Despite this productivity, pastoralists still starve and their animals perish when drought hits. One reason is that only a trickle of the profits goes to the herders themselves; the

6

lion’s share is pocketed by traders. This is partly because the herders only sell much of their stock during times of drought and famine, when they need the cash to buy food, and the terms of trade in this situation never work in their favour. Another reason is the lack of investment in herding areas.

Funding bodies such as the World Bank and-USAID tried to address some of the problems in the 1960s, investing millions of dollars in commercial beef and dairy production. It didn’t work. Firstly, no one bothered to consult the pastoralists about what they wanted. Secondly, rearing livestock took precedence over human progress. The policies and strategies of international development agencies more or less mirrored the thinking of their colonial predecessors. They were based on two false assumptions: that pastoralism is primitive and inefficient, which led to numerous failed schemes aimed at converting herders to modern ranching models; and that Africa’s drylands can support commercial ranching. They cannot. Most of Africa’s herders live in areas with unpredictable weather systems that are totally unsuited to commercial ranching.

What the pastoralists need is support for their traditional lifestyle. Over the past few years, funders and policy-makers have been starting to get the message. One example is intervention by governments to ensure that pastoralists get fair prices for their cattle when they sell them in times of drought, so that they can afford to buy fodder for their remaining livestock and cereals to keep themselves and their families alive（the problem in African famines is not so much a lack of food as a lack of money to buy it）. Another example is a drought early-warning system run by the Kenyan government and the World Bank that has helped avert livestock deaths.

This is all promising, but more needs to be done. Some African governments still favour forcing pastoralists to settle. They should heed the latest scientific research demonstrating the productivity of traditional cattle-herding. Ultimately, sustainable rural development in pastoralist areas will depend on increasing trade, so one thing going for them is the growing demand for livestock products: there will likely be an additional 2 billion consumers worldwide by 2020, the vast majority in developing countries. To ensure that pastoralists benefit, it will be crucial to give them a greater say in local policies. Other key tasks include giving a greater say to women, who play critical roles in livestock production. The rich world should pay proper attention to the plight of the pastoralists. Leaving them dependent on foreign food aid is unsustainable and will lead to more resentment, conflict, environmental degradation and malnutrition. It is in the rich world’s interests to help out.

01. Which of the following CANNOT be concluded from the passage?

A. Forcing Africa’s nomadic herders to become ranchers will save them from drought. B. The difference between pastoralist and agriculturalist is vital to the African people. C. The rich world should give more support to the African people to overcome drought.

D. Environmental degradation should be the major concern in developing Africa’s pastoralism. 02. The word “encapsulates” in the sentence “Their plight encapsulates Africa’s perennial problem with drought and famine.”（para. l） can be replaced by ____.

A. concludes. B. involves. C. represents. D. aggravates.

7

03. What is the author’s attitude toward African drought and traditional lifestyle of pastoralism?

A. Neutral and indifferent.

B. Sympathetic and understanding. C. Critical and vehement. D. Subjective and fatalistic.

04. When the author writes “the policies and strategies of international development agencies more or less mirrored the thinking of their colonial predecessors.”（para. 4）, he implies all the following EXCEPT that the aid agencies did not ____. A. have an objective view of the situation in Africa B. understand the unpredictable weather systems there C. feel themselves superior in decision making D. care about the development of the local people

05. The author’s main purpose in writing this article is ____. A. to evaluate the living conditions of Kenyan pastoralists

B. to give suggestions on the support of the traditional pastoralism in Africa C. to illustrate the difference between commercial ranching and pastoralism D. to criticize the colonial thinking of western aid agencies

Passage B

Civil-Liberties advocates reeling from the recent revelations on surveillance had something else to worry about last week: the privacy of the billions of search queries made on sites like Google, AOL, Yahoo and Microsoft. As part of a long-running court case, the government has asked those companies to turn over information on its users’ search behavior. All but Google have handed over data, and now the Department of Justice（DOJ） has moved to compel the search giant to turn over the goods.

What makes this case different is that the intended use of the information is not related to national security, but the government’s continuing attempt to police Internet pornography. In 1998, Congress passed the Child Online Protection Act（COPA）, but courts have blocked its implementation due to First Amendment concerns. In its appeal, the DOJ wants to prove how easy it is to inadvertently stumble upon pore. In order to conduct a controlled experiment—to be performed by a UC Berkeley professor of statistics—the DOJ wants to use a large sample of actual search terms from the different search engines. It would then use those terms to do its own searches, employing the different kinds of filters each search engine offers, in an attempt to quantify how often “material that is harmful to minors” might appear. Google contends that since it is not a party to the case, the government has not right to demand its proprietary information to perform its test. “We intend to resist their motion vigorously,” said Google attorney Nicole Wong. DOJ spokesperson Charles Miller says that the government is requesting only the actual search terms, and not anything that would link the queries to those who made them. （The DOJ is also demanding a list of a million Web sites that Google indexes to determine the degree to which objectionable sites are searched. ） Originally, the government asked for a treasure trove of all searches made in June and July 2005; the request has been scaled back to one week’s worth of

8

search queries.

One oddity about the DOJ’s strategy is that the experiment could conceivably sink its own case. If the built-in filters that each search engine provides are effective in blocking porn sites, the government will have wound up proving what the opposition has said all along—you don’t need to suppress speech to protect minors on the Net. “We think that our filtering technology does a good job protecting minors from inadvertently seeing adult content,” says Ramez Naam, group program manager of MSN Search.

Though the government intends to use these data specifically for its COPA-related test, it’s possible that the information could lead to further investigations and, perhaps, subpoenas to find out who was doing the searching. “What if certain search terms indicated that people were contemplating terrorist actions or other criminal activities?” Says the DOJ’s Miller, “I’m assuming that if something raised alarms, we would hand it over to the proper authorities.” Privacy advocates fear that if the government request is upheld, it will open the door to further government examination of search behavior. One solution would be for Google to stop storing the information, but the company hopes to eventually use the personal information of consenting customers to improve search performance. “Search is a window into people’s personalities,” says Kurt Opsahl, an Electronic Frontier Foundation attorney. “They should be able to take advantage of the Internet without worrying about Big Brother looking over their shoulders.”

01. When the American government asked Google, AOL, Yahoo and Microsoft to turn over information on its users’ search behavior, the major intention is ____. A. to protect national security

B. to help protect personal freedom C. to monitor Internet pornography

D. to implement the Child Online Protection Act

02. Google refused to turn over “its proprietary information”（para. 2） required by DOJ as it believes that ____.

A. it is not involved in the court case B. users’ privacy is most important

C. the government has violated the First Amendment D. search terms is the company’s business secret 03. The phrase “scaled back to” in the sentence “the request has been scaled back to one week’s worth of search queries”（para. 3） can be replaced by ____.

A. maximized to B. minimized to C. returned to D. reduced to

04. In the sentence “One oddity about the DOJ’s strategy is that the experiment could conceivably sink its own case.”（para. 4）, the expression “sink its own case” most probably means that ____.

A. counterattack the opposition

9

B. lead to blocking of porn sites

C. provide evidence to disprove the case D. give full ground to support the case

05. When Kurt Opsahl says that “They should be able to take advantage of the Internet without worrying about Big Brother looking over their shoulders.”（para. 5）, the expression “Big Brother” is used to refer to ____.

A. a friend or relative showing much concern B. a colleague who is much more experienced C. a dominating and all-powerful ruling power D. a benevolent and democratic organization

Part 3: Answering Questions. （20 P）

Passage A

Millions of elderly Germans received a notice from the Health & Social Security Ministry earlier this month that struck a damaging blow to the welfare state. The statement informed them that their pensions were being cut. The reductions come as a stop-gap measure to control Germany’s ballooning pension crisis. Not surprisingly, it was an unwelcome change for senior citizens such as Sabine Wetzel, a 67-year-old retired bank teller, who was told her state pension would be cut by $12. 30, or 1% to $1,156. 20 a month. “It was a real shock,” she says. “My pension had always gone up in the past.”

There’s more bad news on the way. On Mar. 11, Germany’s lower house of Parliament passed a bill gradually cutting state pensions—which have been rising steadily since World War II—from 53% of average wages now to 46% by 2020. And Germany is not alone. Governments across Western Europe are racing to curb pension benefits. In Italy, the government plans to raise the minimum retirement age from 57 to 60, while France will require that civil servants put in 40 years rather than 37. 5 to qualify for a full pension. The reforms are coming despite tough opposition from unions, leftist politicians, and pensioners’ groups.

The explanation is simple: Europeans are living longer and having fewer children. By 2030 there will only be two workers per pensioner, compared with four in 2000. With fewer young workers paying into the system, cuts are being made to cover a growing shortfall. The gap between money coming in and payments going out could top $10 billion this year in Germany alone. “In the future, a state pension alone will no longer be enough to maintain the living standards employees had before they retired,” says German Health & Social Security Minister Ulla Schmidt. Says Italian Finance Minister Giulio Tremonti: “The welfare state is producing too few cradles and too few graves.”

Of course, those population trends have been forecast for years. Some countries, such as Britain and the Netherlands, have responded by making individuals and their employers assume more of the responsibility for pensions. But many Continental governments dragged their feet. Now, the rapid runup in costs is finally forcing them to act. State-funded pension payments make up around 12% of gross domestic product in Germany and France and 15% in Italy—two percentage points more than 20 years ago. Pensions account for an average 21% of government spending across the European Union. The U. S. Social Security system, by contrast, consumes just 4.8% of GDP. The

10

rising cost is having serious repercussions on key European nations’ commitments to fiscal restraint. “Governments have no choice but to make pension reform a priority,” says Antonio Cabral, deputy director of the European Commission’s Directorate General for Economic & Financial Affairs.

Just as worrisome is the toll being exacted on the private sector, corporate contributions to state pension systems—which make up 19. 5% of total gross pay in Germany—add to Europe’s already bloated labor costs. That, in turn, blunts manufacturers’ competitiveness and keeps unemployment rates high. According to the Institute of German Economics in Cologne, benefit costs reached a record 41. 7% of gross wages in Germany last year, compared with 37.4% a decade before. French cement manufacturer Lafarge says pension cost of $121 million contributed to a 9% fall in operating profits last year.

To cope, Germany and most of its EU partners are using tax breaks to encourage employees to put money into private pension schemes. But even if private pensions become more popular, European governments will have to increase minimum retirement ages and reduce public pensions. While today’s seniors complain about reduced benefits, the next generation of retirees may look back on their parents’ pension checks with envy.

Questions

Paraphrase Italian Finance Minister Giulio Tremonti’s statement “The welfare state is producing too few cradles and too few graves”? What is implied by the last sentence of the passage “While today’s seniors complain about reduced benefits, the next generation of retirees may look back on their parents’ pension checks with envy”?

Passage B

In the old days, it was all done with cakes. For Marcel Proust, it was a visit to Mother’s for tea and madeleines that provided the access to “the vast structure of recollection” that was to become his masterpiece on memory and nostalgia, “Remembrance of Past Things.” These days, it’s not necessary to evoke the past: you can’t move without tripping over it.

In an age zooming forward technologically, why are all the backward glances? The Oxford English Dictionary’s first definition of nostalgia reads: “acute longing for familiar surroundings; severe homesickness.” With the speed of computers doubling every 18 months, and the net doubling in size in about half that, no wonder we’re aching for familiar surroundings. Since the cornerstone of the Information Age is change, anything enduring becomes precious. “People are looking for something authentic,” says McLaren. Trouble is, nostalgia has succumbed to trends in marketing, demographics and technology. “Nostalgia ain’t what it used to be,” says Michael J. Wolf, senior partner at Booz-Allen & Hamilton in New York. “These are the new good old days.” Baby boomers form the core of the nostalgia market. The boomers, defined by American demographers as those born between 1946 and 19, are living long and prosperous lives. In both Europe and America, they remain the Holy Grail for admen, and their past has become everyone’s present. In a study on “entertainment imprinting,” two American marketing professors, Robert Schindler and Morris Holbrook, asked people ranging in age from 16 to 86 which popular music from the past they liked best. People’s favorite songs, they found, tended to be those that were popular when they were about 24, with their affection for pop songs diminishing on either side of that age. Doubtless Microsoft knows about entertainment imprinting, or at least nostalgia. The

11

company hawks its latest Explorer to the strains of Simon and Garfunkel’s “Homeward Bound,” just as it launched Windows 98 to the tune of “Start Me up” by the Rolling Stones. Boomers remember both tunes from their 20s.

If boomers are one market that values memories, exiles are another. According to the International Organization of Migration, more than 150 million people live today in a country other than the one where they were born—double the number that did so in 1965. This mass movement has sources as dire as tyranny and as luxurious as the freedoms of an EU passport. But exiles and refugees share one thing: homes left behind. Type in “nostalgia” on the search engine Google, and one of the first sites that pop up is the nostalgia page of The Iranian, an online site for Iran’s exiles, most of whom fled after 1978’s Islamic revolution. Perhaps the savviest exploitation of nostalgia has been the secondhand-book site alibris. com, which features stories of clients’ rediscovering long-lost books on it. One John Mason Mings writes of the glories of finding a book with information on “Kickapoo Joy Juice,” ad dreaded medicine of his youth. A Pennsylvanian waxes over alibris’s recovery of his first-grade primer” Down cherry Street.” The Net doesn’t merely facilitate nostalgia—it promotes it. Web-based auction houses have helped jump-start markets for vintage items, form marbles to Apple Macintoshes.

Cutting-edge technology, designed to be transient, has even bred its own instanostalgia. Last year a $666 Apple I went for $18,000 to a British collector at a San Francisco auction. “Historic! Microsoft Multiplan for Macintosh” crows one item on eBay’s vintage Apple section. Surf to The Net Nostalgia Quiz to puzzle over questions like “In the old days, Altavista used to have which one of these URLs?”

Those who don’t remember their history are condemned to repeat it. Or so entertainment moguls hope, as they market “70s TV hits like “Charlie’s Angels” and “Scooby Doo,” out next year, to a generation that can’t remember them the first time round. If you’ve missed a Puff Daddy track or a “Sopranos” episode, panic not. The megahits of today are destined to be the golden oldies of 2020, says Christopher Nurko of the branding consultant FutureBrand. “I guarantee you, Madonna’s music will be used to sell everything,” he says. “God help me, I hope it’s not selling insurance.” It could be. When we traffic in the past, nothing’s sacred.

Questions

Explain the beginning sentence “In the old days, it was all done with cakes.” What is the other big group besides baby boomers which values memories? What do these people share? What is “nostalgia market”? What do they sell in the nostalgia market?

Part 4: Writing. （30 P）

Please reflect on the following opinion and write an essay of about 400 words elaborating your view with a well-defined title.

Some people believe the key of the reform in the education system is a well-shared awareness that educations is there, instead of simply offering the knowledge important to the students, to improve the students in an all-round way, and especially to guide them to a careful pondering over such fundamental issues as life itself and social responsibility. An undue emphasis on knowledge-education and the resultant ignorance over the guidance to the students to a proper understanding of life will bring us nothing but a large number of “memorizing machines”. We can never expect a group of young people well prepared for the real social life.

18世纪初，在德国的匹兹堡大学，有位哲学和医学教授白令葛，他非常喜欢研究化石。一天，几个学生给他带来了一些他从没见过的奇妙的化石，其中不仅绘有飞鸟、昆虫以及其他珍禽异兽，还刻着类似希伯来文的古老而又难以理解的石头书。教授看后十分兴奋，立即跟学生一起到了发现化石的现场，又挖出若干块化石。这是匹兹堡的郊外，有着古老的地层，是教授经常采集化石并乐此不疲的地方。

从那一天起，教授便废寝忘食地埋头整理那些采集到的标本。那时，人类对化石的研究和认识还处于起步阶段。经过数十载的辛劳，教授的研究终于结出了果实——一本精美的、有21张化石图片的专著出版了，书名为《匹兹堡石志》。

然而，没过多久，一个让善良的人们永远无法想到的悲剧发生了。一天，当教授再度对化石进行研究时，突然发现有些化石中竟刻着自己的名字。他恍然大悟——可怜的教授为之耗尽了毕生心血、孜孜以求进行科学研究的客体竟然是伪造的！原来，这些是学生们事先把动物形象和文字雕刻在石灰岩上，然后埋入地下做出的人造化石。事实上，这不仅仅是学生们的恶作剧，也是其他教授为了戏弄他而暗地里设置的一个陷阱。

在经历了这一严酷的打击后不久，白令葛教授也即将走完他的人生之路。在将要离别人世的时候，教授本着一个学者的良心，尽自己的最大努力回收那些已出售的书，并把它们付之一炬。

“决不能让这些错误的研究成果流传到后世。”这是一位误入歧途的科学家惊醒之后的唯一信念。当白令葛教授亲手点燃焚烧《匹兹堡石志》的火焰时，我们看到了一个失败科学家的人性的光辉。

选择题（30个）感觉这次并不是词汇和语法各15个，词汇明显偏多。语法我的印象中就那么几个题。

Version2总体感觉广外的这次翻译硕士英语考试难度极低！大概跟六级差不多！三十个单选题，几乎都是基本的语法点或搭配。考察词义辨析的大概占一半，另外的是语法点和词组搭配。call on 和call off，因为这个真不知道怎么选。 阅读（四篇）

第一篇讲人类的城市化以及城市生活对人们的社交关系和邻里关系的影响和与小型城镇的生活的对比。

第二篇讲富士事件以及各方的反应。

第三篇讲如何给自己的博客或网站取一个合适的名字，以及相关的注意点。

感觉都很简单，难度不大。作文话题是要求你根据人类的群居特性、team spirit为切入点来构思一篇作文，400词。

文章翻译有四篇，

第一篇是英翻汉，是一篇法律文件，劳动合同，大意为保护本公司的商业秘密，雇员在未经允许情况下不得与其他公司有雇佣关系或其他情况等等

第二篇是英译汉，是关于荷兰的介绍，凭着印象在网上搜了下，没搜到原文，主要内容就是荷兰的风车windmill还有荷兰的花，这两样最著名的东西。属于散文类型，写得比较简单优美，翻译的难度不大，注意文采即可。

第三篇是汉译英，是关于中国建筑的，大概是说中国的建筑与中国文明一样古老，所有的资料来源都证明，我们的祖先在很久以前就采用一种土生土长的建筑体系，并一直保留着它的基本特点，受中国文化影响的广袤地区从到日本，从东本三省中海半岛，都流行这个体系。尽管中国过去遭受军事和文化入侵，但这种建筑体系却保存下来，这只有中国文明能与之相媲美。因为中国建筑本来就是中国文明不可或缺的一部分。

Version2介绍中国建筑风格的。大意为中国式建筑风格流传悠久，从日本到，从东三省到中南半岛，广袤的区域里都受到 中国建筑构造体系的影响，并且持续了很久都没有改变其基本特征。最后强调这也是一种文化的作用。

第四篇是汉译英，是关于广州的介绍，这次考的是关于广州的地理位置（珠江三角洲之前记过的，考试的时候忘了，郁闷死了），还有人们的一些生活习惯之类的。 这里要特别提醒下童鞋们，广外很喜欢考跟广东或者广州有关的内容。

没什么太大的难度吧，这应该是我平日关注时事，每年的难点基本都在这里 镜像互补（来源：吴敬琏博客）

这两类经济之间，发达国家和发展中国家之间，通过国家贸易形成了一种互补的关系。我把它叫做镜像互补，就好象照镜子一样，一个人照镜子，他的影子和他之间，正好什么事情都是相反的。这种镜像互补下的世界经济运行，它的特征就是通过国际贸易，使得发展中国家过高的储蓄率的一部分借给了发达国家去用。这样一种镜像互补的经济结构，在某些时间段，它对于发展中国家还是有利的，比如说东亚国家，日本、韩国、以及后来的中国，东亚经济都采取了出口导向，利用西方国家的结构失衡，在一段时间里面实现了高速度的增长。西方国家利用扩张性的货币，特别是美国利用美元作为国际储备货币、国际贸易货币这样一个地位，用扩张性的货币松驰金融监管，西欧国家因为它没有这样一个货币的条件，所以就用大量的借债的办法来支持经济的繁荣。 西方中心论（来源：共识网）

很多人讲反对西方中心论，老实说，很多观念就是西方中心论的非常经典的代表，比如说我们会议当中很多人在讲说中国是唯一没有失落的文明，西方文明都已经崩溃了，这个我知道，

斯宾格勒和汤因比都讲过，其实这里有一个非常大的原因就是西方人不了解中国。西方人往

往容易把他不了解的东西就看成一个整体，最典型的就是印第安，印第安怎么能说是一个文明呢？它语系就几十个之多，而且玛雅人是城邦，印加帝国是一个集权非常厉害的国家，无论从哪个方面来讲印第安都不是一个整体，但是在西方人看来你就差不多。但是在西方人看来，中国好像从古到今都差不多，于是他就说你是延续下来从来没有变过的，而他们是变了的。

创业板市场机制（来源：21世纪网）

完善创业板市场的市场机制，必须从完善真正的市场化机制入手，尽快推出股票的退市机制；完善创业板的发行制度，让创业板真正成为促进中国的科技创新的市场。

首先，应该规范借壳重组行为。我国股市之所以出现炒作垃圾股的行为，与地方深度介入上市公司的借壳重组行为有关。一些地方出于各种动机，喜欢将好的资产注入到垃圾公司里，经常上演“乌鸡变凤凰”的游戏。市场上甚至出现专门投资垃圾股的投资者群体。从过去10年的历史看，涨幅领先的20只股票中，有一半以上是由借壳重组而来。可见，投资者买入垃圾股并非是“非理性”行为。另外，在上市公司的借壳过程中，出现大量的“寻租”

行为及内幕交易，在已经查处的证券市场违规案件中，这类案件占相当的比例。

判例法（来源：中华法律文化网）

在整个封建社会，大凡在无成文法典或成文法典不宜于时用之际，优秀的法官便会悄悄打起

判例法的旗帜。他们或则宣扬“议事以制”的合理性，或则强调“人”的主观能动性，或则论证

判例的重要价值，或则一言不发，把判例结集印行。从汉代的董仲舒到初年大理院的法官们，他们都没有拜倒在现行法律面前缄口不语，他们没有片面推崇成文法、贬抑判例法的偏见，而是立足于人类前行的历史之上，勇敢地从传统习俗当中去寻找法源。正是仰仗着各朝各代一批又一批具有贵族精神和“大儒风范”的仁人志士们的努力实践，才使得中国传统法律文化沿革史，由于充满着人与法的碰撞、律与例的磨擦，而显得丰满、和谐、优美。这一首由成文法和判例法双重演奏的古歌，正是人类法律实践领域中独有的中国式的“混合法”的主旋律。

11月16日上午，甘肃省庆阳市正宁县榆林子镇小博士幼儿园接送幼儿车辆发生交通事故，造成重大人员伤亡。事故发生后，教育部高度重视，袁贵仁立即做出部署，派出工作组前往当地调查了解情况，协助进行抢救和善后工作，同时向教育系统发出紧急通知。 教育部紧急通知开展学生幼儿上下学交通安全检查

教育部要求各地教育部门和中小学幼儿园，一是立即开展对中小学生和幼儿上下学乘车安全情况排查。要逐校逐园逐生对学生上下学乘车情况进行全面检查了解，对学校和幼儿园租用的车辆进行安全检查，存在安全隐患的要立即停用维修；发现有家长租用社会非法运营车辆

25

的要予以劝阻。对农村贫困地区、交通运力比较困难的地区，当地教育部门要积极争取地方支持，统一为学生和幼儿配备或租用安全车辆上下学，确保中小学生和幼儿安全。 二是开展中小学和幼儿园接送车辆管理检查。要积极配合当地机关、安监等部门做好上下学车辆的监管工作。学校租用社会车辆时，必须经教育主管部门或有关部门核准，必须与车辆出租单位签订安全责任书，明确安全责任，严禁使用安全状况达不到要求的车辆上路。要认真开展对车辆驾驶员的安全教育，增强安全意识、责任意识和守法意识。

三是集中进行一次中小学生及其家长交通安全教育。要以这起事故为案例，全面开展一次乘车安全教育，教育中小学生坚决不乘拼装车、报废车、农用车、货运车等非法运营车辆上下学，教育提醒步行上下学的中小学生遵守交通规则，主动安全避让行驶车辆。要立即提醒家长提高安全意识和监护人责任意识，千万不要租用不符合安全规定的车辆接送学生。 四是制定应对极端天气交通安全措施，防范冬季大雾、降雪及路面结冰对学生和幼儿上下学交通安全的不利影响。必要时可采取停运接送学生上下学车辆或调整上课、入园时间等安全措施。要明确驾驶人员按照雪、雾天气安全驾驶要求，使之时刻牢记安全第一，严禁超载、超速，确保交通安全。 请针对上述新闻写一篇公文。 第三部分 写作60分
