第二阶段真题

教育历来是全社会关注的热点。但是，普及教育在农村要比城市困难，在边缘贫穷地区普及教育困难更大。

一个突出的问题是女孩子的入学问题。农村的女孩子是家庭中的重要劳动力，既要照看弟妹，又要做家务。

不少农民虽然懂得智力投资的重要性，但是限于经济条件，他们首先要培养男孩子，因为他们认为，男孩子是家庭中最稳定的成员。而女孩子早晚要出嫁。

为此，我们专门抓了女孩的教育问题。例如，办一些护士学校和师范学校，可多招收女生，为她们多开辟就业门路。

参考答案
Education has always been one of the major concerns in our society. However, it is more difficult to do so in the remote and poverty stricken areas.

An obvious problem / major issue lies with the school education for young girls. Girls in rural areas are important laborers; they have to look after their younger brothers and sisters and meanwhile, take care of housework.

Many farmers know well / are aware that they should make investment in their children’ s intellectual development. However, due to their poor economic conditions, they focus more on the school education of their sons. They believe boys are the most stable family members and girls will (eventually) leave when they get married.

Therefore, we have made special efforts to promote education for young girls. For example, we enroll more girls in schools for training nurses and teachers, so as to ensure more and easier employment for girls (after graduation).
