Overall, candidates appear to have performed extremely well with a number achieving marks which clearly met an A grade level. It was very clear from feedback received from the moderators that the majority of centres had worked extremely hard to prepare their students for all elements of this unit and I would like to thank all centres for their hard work throughout the year. The advice and information given in the body of this report is designed not only to highlight areas of good practice but also to draw attention to those areas in which some centres had not always complied with the specific requirements of the specification. The intention is also to identify the ways in which some topics and approaches did not allow all the criteria to be fully met, thus providing insufficient opportunity for students to demonstrate their abilities to the full. Ultimately, the aim of the report is to help centres to build on their understanding of the requirements of this unit and aid in its delivery over future series.Task setting and assessmentModerators reported that there were many original and successful pieces submitted which clearly demonstrated that centres had taken note of the guidance given in the earlier training programmes. The most successful centres were those which allowed or encouraged students to research their own genres and style models, while the least successful were those which used a ‘one size fits all’ approach, where a common task had been undertaken by all the students whether it suited their talents or not.It was also clear that those centres that had taken note of the key components of the top band mark descriptors had used these to guide their students’ selection of tasks and were most likely to have their marks agreed by the moderator. These key elements included: writing that was assured, accurate and highly effective, meeting the requirements of the audience and employing language that was sophisticated andhighly-engaging.The range of genres and text types submitted by centres was at times very impressive, with candidates choosing tasks such as dramatic monologues, opinion-based journalism, imaginative fiction, travel writing of various hues, speeches on various topics from the everyday to the world-changing and reviews ranging from blockbuster films to student talent shows. What distinguished the really successful pieces was the degree to which the students showed themselves to be fully conversant with the genres they were emulating, the purpose(s) for which they were writing and the precise audiences that were being addressed. Centres can guide their students towards the higher bands by emphasising the importance of choosing tasks which produce convincing examples of texts in realistic genres and which have a viable audience and purpose.One moderator commented on opinion pieces which were just personal essays about issues which held an interest for the student, or, reviews with no real awareness of the structures and conventions of the particular publications in which they might be found. It is important for students to be encouraged to develop an awareness of the specific features of the genres within which they work and early research and preparation is paramount in understanding the construction of different genres. Another area of concern and one that needs to be avoided in future series was the creation of fictitious interviews with real music bands/personalities.The believability of work produced clearly has a close relation to the selection of appropriate style models. In many centres, there was plenty of evidence that candidates took time and effort through independent research in selecting style models, which were chosen from reputable writers and/or publications which showed aspects of language and style which could be emulated. These students used their style models not only to influence their own pieces but also to inform their commentaries. This approachinvariably led to more successful outcomes. There were, however, some other approaches which were less likely to bring success. There were some cases where centres appeared to be advising candidates to mimic the style model chosen, producing almost identical representations of the layout and language with key words and phrases replaced to reflect the topic choice of the candidate, this approach is unlikely to produce results which match the higher-level mark descriptors. The candidates in question had focused too heavily on the graphalogical features of the articles/pieces at the expense of the language. The advice to centres is that style models should be selected from reputable sources both in terms of writers and publications, and contain stylistic features and language which can be emulat ed and adapted for the candidate’s own work. CommentariesModerators found that a large number of students were able to use their commentaries to show their understanding of the writing process, although it was also clear that some were not demonstrating a full appreciation of the requirements of this component.In preparation for 2018 the following “dos and don’ts” should help centres to guide their candidates:DOkeep within the word countgive an overview of both coursework pieces and establish the specific contextual features surrounding both texts, including purpose and audience provide an outline to the relationship between producer and receiver of each text and what effect that this has on the language chosendiscuss specific genre features and link these to purpose and audienceexemplify points made about the above from the style models, as well as your own writinginclude appropriate linguistic terminology and refer to relevant ideas from language study (theories, concepts) if appropriate.DON’Twrite a line by line account of the textmake claims about the writing which cannot be supported by evidenceidentify language/linguistic features without commenting on their relevance to the overall nature of the text.Annotation of Folders and Internal StandardisationIt is important for all members of staff involved with the delivery and assessment of this Unit to meet and standardise their marking and to annotate the folders before their submission to the moderator. Both these aspects are requirements of the Specification, and are demanded by the Ofqual Code of Practice for GCE as well as by Pearson.There were some reports from moderators that in some centres where adjustments of marks were recommended, there was little evidence of internal standardisation having taken place. It is always good practice for centres to have teachers marking trial pieces of work and identifying differences in marking standards. Following this series, online exemplar material will be available to centres and should act as a reference within teacher standardising meetings. Pearson will also be offering face-to-face meetings later in the year to allow teachers from different centres the opportunity to spend time discussing approaches and marking strategies and sharing best practice.Annotation of folders - internal assessors are required to show clearly how marks have been awarded in relation to the marking criteria defined in the specification. These annotations will help the moderator to see as precisely as possible where the teacher considers that the candidates have met the criteria for the mark awarded.Work should be annotated as follows:evidence identified throughout the work by annotation in the margin and links to the relevant AOssummative comments on the work, referencing precise sections in the work.Moderators reported that some centres had devised their own assessment sheets which fulfil the above requirements and also, in many cases, provide evidence of internal standardising. This is very helpful to moderators as it added additional information concerning the genre/audience, word count and purpose of the coursework produced.AdministrationIt was felt by the moderation team that the vast majority of folders arrived punctually, in good order and containing all the necessary components.Future series.The deadline for submission of work and for its arrival with the moderator is 15th May.If the entry is 20 or fewer then all folders should be sent.For larger centres, all the folders requested must be sent together with the highest and lowest candidate (if they do not form part of the requested sample) Candidate Record Forms should be signed by both the student and the supervising teacher.A copy of the marks submitted via the Pearson online system must be sent withthe coursework.Each folder should contain two pieces of the student’s own writing, as well as their associated commentary.The coursework folders must be firmly fixed together, preferably using a treasury tag in the top left-hand corner.Finally, I would like to thank everyone who has made this moderation series so successful; the moderation team, the centres and particularly the teachers who work so hard to provide the support and guidance for their candidates, and obviously the candidates who have produced some original and engaging work.Thank you and good luck for next year.。

Education System in the United Kingdom英美概况1班The United Kingdom is a country with a long tradition of national education. After hundreds of years of evolution, British education system is quite complete and complex. Nowadays, the British education system is run by the state, which provides funding and tries to insure that all British children receive a quality education.Generally speaking, the British education system could be briefly divided into four stages: primary, secondary, further and higher education. Primary and secondary education is compulsory for all children between the age 5 and 16. Primary school is usually from age 5 to 11, and secondary school is between age 11 and 16. Further education is voluntary and includes all education provided after the ends of fulltime schooling. Some students go to university to take higher education after the age of 18. The following part of this paper is the detail of education system in the United Kingdom.1. Primary educationEducation is free for all children from 5 to 16 in Britain. Full-time education is compulsory for all children aged between 5 and 16 across the country. This can be provided by state schools, independent schools, or home schooling.The curriculum offered in primary school including reading, writing, arithmetic, history, science, arts and the legally required courses in religion. And there are examinations to check on the development of each child. Primary school education attaches to students’ questioning, cultivating, and independent thinking, it puts the equality between teachers and students on the important position, also it cultivates students’ own opinions.There are many opportunities for students to contact with the nature or play with sand and water. In order to give young children a sustained contact with on teacher, usually one teacher is responsible for organizing the whole day’s lessons and has to teach all the subjects.2. Secondary schoolAll the children must receive secondary education after finishing their primary education at the age of eleven. Students in Britain could choose comprehensive school, grammar school or independent school. Comprehensive school and grammar school are state funded school, while independent schools are fee-paying private school.2.1 Comprehensive schoolAbout 90 percent of British pupils attend comprehensive schools. A comprehensive school is a state school that does not select its intake on the basis of academic achievement or aptitude. Students can study everything from academic subjects like literature and sciences, to more practical subjects like cooking and carpentry.2.2 Grammar schoolPupils who show academic potential are selected through an examination called “the 11-plus”to study in grammar school. Grammar school is very highly selective schools. For example, in some parts of England, as few as 2% of 11-year olds may attend grammar schools. They concentrate their study on advanced academic work rather than the more general curriculum of the comprehensive school.2.3 Public schoolThere are also a group of older, more expensive and exclusive fee-paying private independent schools in the United Kingdom named public school. The term "public" is derived from the fact that these schools are open to pupils regardless of where they live or their religion. Eton College is one of the most famous public schools in the United Kingdom. Almost all the pupils of Eton College go on to study A levels, and a quarter of its students will go to Oxford and Cambridge.The main examination that all students should take in secondary school is the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE). GCSE is taken at the end of compulsory education at the age of 16. All the students are required to take it. And the results often help the students and their parents to make a choice whether they will go to college or not. Many students who fail to get a C in English and Mathematics will retake their GCSEs in those subjects at a later date, in order to take further education (A-levels) at a sixth form college.3. Further educationFurther education in the United Kingdom is an education at a higher level than secondary school, usually provided in distinct institutions such as universities. It is usually a means to attain an intermediate qualification necessary to attend university, or begin a specific career path.About 70 percent of 16 year old students choose to continue in full-time education. Some students continue in the same school for a further two years of study in the “six form”. After two years study, three or four subjects are taken in the examination of the General Certificate ofEducation-Advanced level (GCE A level). This is the main examination required for university entrance.Unlike China, there is no national entrance examination of any sort in Britain. In the third term of Year 12, students prepare their applications to university. Applications are than made in the term of the Year 13 through one centralized organization known as UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service). Students can apply to a maximum of six universities or institutions, and universities enroll students according to their applications.4. Higher educationHigher education has a long history in Britain. And there are about 130 schools all across the country. British universities enjoy almost complete autonomy from national or local government in their administration and the determination of their curricula, despite the fact that the schools receive nearly all of their funding from the state. Universities can mainly be divided into four groups: the old universities, redbrick university, the new universities and the open universities.4.1 Old universities:The old universities refer to those founded before 1600. Oxford and Cambridge are the two oldest and most famous universities in Britain, dating from 1249 and 1284. Until the 19th century, they are the only 2 universities in England.4.2 Redbrick universityRedbrick university is an informal term used to refer to six civic universities founded in the major industrial cities of England. The University of Liverpool is considered to be the original "redbrick" institution, because its main building is built from a distinctive red pressed brick. This kind of university includes the University of Birmingham, University of Manchester, University of Sheffield, University of Leeds, and so on. The distinctive feature of these universities is that they concentrate on “real-world” skills, often linked to engineering.4.3 New universitiesThe new university, also named plate glass university, refer to those universities founded since the World War two. These institutions are more often called post-1992 universities and sometimes modern universities. They have their own independent and modern approaches to teaching.4.4 The Open UniversityA bold and imaginative step in adult education is the creation of the Open University whichwas founded in 1969. The university is notable for having an open entry policy, and many of its courses can be studied off-campus anywhere. It’s open to everybody and doesn’t demand the same formal educational qualifications as the other universities. Open University courses are following through TV, videos, correspondence and a net work of study centers. After study at the Open University, qualified students are awarded a university degree.SummaryBritish government pays much attention on the design and development of their education system. The system is famous all around the word and plays an important role in the development of the country. What’s more, the British education system aims to educate the whole person, so that each child develops his or her personality as well as gaining academic knowledge. To complete our Chinese education system, much can be learned from the United Kingdom.WYCReferences：/wiki/Grammar_school#Contemporary_British_grammar_schools/wiki/Independent_school_(United_Kingdom)/wiki/Eton_College#Overview/wiki/General_Certificate_of_Secondary_Education/wiki/Comprehensive_School#United_Kingdom/wiki/Further_education/wiki/Red_Brick_university。

a level 高中物理知识点英文Physics is a fundamental science that underpins our understanding of the natural world around us. At the high school level, the study of physics lays the groundwork for more advanced studies in science and technology. The A Level physics curriculum in particular covers a wide range of topics that provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the principles governing the physical universe.One of the key knowledge points in A Level physics is mechanics, which deals with the motion of objects and the forces that act upon them. This includes the study of kinematics, which describes the motion of objects in terms of position, velocity, acceleration, and time. Students learn to apply the equations of motion to analyze the behavior of objects under the influence of forces such as gravity, friction, and tension. They also explore the concepts of momentum, impulse, and conservation of momentum, which are crucial in understanding collisions and other dynamic phenomena.Another important area in A Level physics is waves and optics. This covers the properties and behavior of different types of waves,including transverse waves like light and longitudinal waves like sound. Students learn about the principles of wave interference, diffraction, and refraction, and how these phenomena can be applied in technologies like fiber optic communication and medical imaging. The study of optics also includes the behavior of light, including the laws of reflection and refraction, and the operation of optical devices such as mirrors and lenses.Electricity and magnetism are also core topics in the A Level physics curriculum. Students delve into the fundamental concepts of electric charge, electric fields, and electric potential, as well as the principles of electric circuits and the flow of electric current. They also explore the relationship between electricity and magnetism, including the generation of electromagnetic induction and the workings of electric motors and generators.Another key knowledge point in A Level physics is thermal physics, which covers the behavior of heat and temperature, as well as the concepts of thermal energy, thermal expansion, and the laws of thermodynamics. Students learn to apply these principles to understand phenomena like the operation of heat engines, the transfer of heat, and the behavior of gases.The A Level physics curriculum also includes the study of modern physics, which encompasses the groundbreaking developments inthe field during the 20th century. This includes the theory of special relativity, which describes the relationship between space, time, and the speed of light, as well as the principles of quantum mechanics, which govern the behavior of matter and energy at the atomic and subatomic scales.In addition to these core knowledge points, the A Level physics curriculum also covers a range of other topics, such as astrophysics, nuclear physics, and particle physics. These areas delve into the structure and behavior of the universe, from the smallest subatomic particles to the largest celestial bodies.Throughout the A Level physics curriculum, students are not only expected to understand the theoretical concepts but also to apply them in practical, real-world situations. This involves the development of skills in experimental design, data analysis, and problem-solving. Students learn to design and conduct experiments, collect and interpret data, and use their knowledge of physics principles to explain and predict physical phenomena.The study of A Level physics also fosters the development of critical thinking and analytical skills, as students are required to engage in complex problem-solving and decision-making processes. They learn to break down problems, identify the relevant physical principles, and apply them to arrive at solutions. These skills are highly valued ina wide range of fields, from engineering and technology to finance and business.Overall, the A Level physics curriculum provides students with a comprehensive and rigorous understanding of the physical world. By mastering the key knowledge points and developing essential skills, students are well-equipped to pursue further studies in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, or to apply their knowledge in a variety of professional contexts. The study of A Level physics not only enhances students' scientific understanding but also prepares them for the challenges and opportunities of the modern world.。

Education in UKThe literacy rate in Britain is one of the hightest in the world.Britain’s education aims to develop the abilities of individuals for their own benefit and that of society as a whole, with the common belief that proper education is indispensable to qualified citizens. Education in Britain operates on three levels: schools, higher education and further education.In Great Britain, children have to attend full-time school at the age of 5, and 4 in Northern Ireland. About half of 3- and 4-year-olds are enrolled in nursery school or in nursery classes at primary schools. Parents are required by the law to ensure that their children receive efficient full-time education between the age of 5 and 16.Before 1870 school set up by churches, 40% of children aged 10 attended. From 1870 onwards government took responsibility for education in response to changes caused by industrial revolution and movement for social & political reform. The 1944 Act in England& Wales gave all children the right to free secondary education. The tripartite system –at end of primary education children are selected by means of streaming. Those on the top stream (20%) went to grammar schools. In 1999 85% of children attended comprehensive schools while 16% went to remaining schools or private schools, problems of streaming still remain, holding back of brighter students, unjustified labelling.The religion in schools of Britian are required to provide religious education and daily collective worship for all pupils, provided parents do not think otherwise. The purpose of religious education is to cultivate pupils’ moral sense.There are 110 universities in UK. There are also Over 42% of pupils become university students on leaving school at 18. University of Buckingham (800 students) Open University (over 20,000 students). The latter non-residential university offering courses for adults of all ages. In the third term of Year 12 students prepare their applications to university. Applications are then made in the first term of the Year 13 through one centralised organisation known as UCAS. Students can apply to a maximum of six universities/institutions. Admission –selection on basis of A level results, schools &an interview.At 16 students in England and Wales take GCSE examinations. These examinations are taken by students of all levels of ability in any of a range of subjects and may involve a final examination, an assessment of work done during the two year course, or both of these things. At 18 some students taken A-level examinations, usually in not more than 3 subjects. It is necessary to have A-levels in order to go to a university or other institutions of higher education. In Scotland students take the SCE examinations. A year later, they can take examinations called HIGHERS, after which they can either go straight to a university or spend a furtheryear at school and take the Certificate of Sixth Year Studies.The Compulsory education ends at age sixteen, though many pupils stay on beyond the minimum leaving age . The main exam pupils should take is GCSE. At age sixteen pupils in England and Wales may transfer to sixth form colleges or tertiary colleges ,leading to GCE A level.Britain is said to lead the world in higher education, which is not compulsory. Britain has more than 90 unversities and about one-sixth of the students are postgraduated. The unversities can be broadly classified into four types. The ancient unversities of Oxford and Cambridge date from the 12th century. Other older universities and offered in Scotland, such as St Andrews, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Edinburgh.Oxford University. Legend has it that Oxford University was founded by King Alfred in 872. There may have been a grammar school there in the 9th century. A grammar school was exactly what it sounds like; a place for teaching Latin grammar. The University as we know it actually began in the 12th century as gatherings of students around popular masters.The idea of Open university was broached by the Labour Party in the 1960s. There are also special weekend and refresher courses throughout the year, which are held at universities and colleges, to enable students to take part in intensive study.An important aspect of Britain eduaction is the provision of furtherand adult education, whether by voluntary bodies, trade unionsor other institution.Most Chinese parents like to ask, “How old should be the best age for children to study overseas?” “Is the foundational education as good as China in other countries?” As the matter of fact, the argument abou t advantages and disadvantages between Chinese Education and Western Education is keeping on all the time. This question is also one major concern among those students who are considering going abroad. In order to find out the most suitable way for each individual, we shall gather more information and compare both matters in China and foreign countries.The basic issue of education is what kind of people we want to cultivate to be, and how to cultivate them. The concept of value, purpose ofeducation and method of education between Chinese Education System and Western Education System are differentiated in many academic fields. Let’s have a look at this with 2 cases:Darin Yokel is an art teacher from one primary school in Cincinnati, America; she is also a current student of Miami University. To be as one of the exchange teacher with Chinese, she came to Kunming, Yunan to have an academic interchange. Her objective is split into 3 parts, teaching Chinese students, communicating with Chinese teachers and independent training.In Kunming, Darin found out that the painting skills of Chinese students are very good. One day, she gave out one topic which is called “happy festival” to her students, but all the students were drawing the same Christmas tree. At first she thought that Chinese students are friendly so when they met a western teacher, they drew the Christmas tree for her. But later she found that every Christmas tree those children drown are with the same batten. She looked closer, discovered that all the students were looking toward the same direction where one of the classroom wall. Then she realized that there was one Christmas tree painting on the wall which prepared by the school as the purpose of creating a suitable painting atmosphere for students.Darin covered the painting on the wall and asked the students to create their own picture, to her surprise; she was so disappointed that once she covered the wall painting, the students could not draw a “happy festival”. Some students were scratching the head, some biting the pencil, some staring at each other, but no one knew how to start their work. With the intention of solving the embarrassment, Darin has to open the cover of wall painting.There is another case far in America: one professor mentioned in his article that his son did research when he was in primary school form two. One day he came back from school and asked father to go to library, he said he is doing one research on whales so need to go and find information. The professor took his son to two libraries and borrowed more than ten books about whale. The little boy had finished his first research in his whole life on the topic of whale. It contained 3 pages and one cover with a picture of whale and sea. There were 4 tittles inside the report: introduction, what do whales eat, how whales eat and the features of whales.The professor said that this is the shortest and simplest research he has ever seen in his life; however this is the most interesting research he hasever read as well. The main concern here is not how much knowledge of whale the boy has learnt, but the process of doing the research. He concentrated so hard to gather information, read articles, identify points, write essay and so on. He was doing individually and independently all through the procedure. He totally used his brain to carry out every step, thus he has achieved much more knowledge and skills beside only whales.And this kind of research practice is continuous improving, when he was in Form Two, his research i s only collecting other people’s information. But when he reached Form Five, his research is moving into a further level of giving out his own ideas. Although his research is still in insufficient order or not so valid, his consciousness of creation is forming and improving.The Darin’s case is really shocking, it illustrates two crucial points of Chinese Education System, one is emphasize too much on teaching but neglect the importance of capability, the other one is building up strong foundation but lack of high education. We Chinese think that students with sturdy foundation can receive further knowledge better. So most Chinese parents think that the primary education in China is more stable than those western countries, and western high education is more mature than China. If students can have the combine of two education system,students could become comprehensive. That is why more and more Chinese parents intend to send their children to foreign universities.The second case shows that Western Education System encourages children to do research on their own. They believe that doing research can help children to analysis problems and solve difficulties by themselves. At mean while, students can practice what they have learnt in real work through the process of research. It is more effective than what we have been practiced in China, that students are studying for exams only while in primary education period. We are implementing 2 separate stages, learning basic knowledge in junior level and doing research in senior level.What are the significant characteristics of both Chinese Education System and Western Education System? Let’s have a compare and discuss as follows:Firstly, there are two basic concepts of education value, teaching and guiding. Teaching concept is commonly used in Chinese Education System which is base on textbook contents. Students learn knowledge through classes that are conducted by teachers inside the classroom. Besides it is being used in Chinese family education; students perceiveknowledge by listening to what the parents have told them and textbooks which parents ask them to read. This concept is well effected in raising so called “good student” who always abbeys rules and regulations, inheriting traditions and general habits. It resulted that Chinese primary education is with no doubt strongly-built, especially during primary school and middle school period. That is also the reason why Chinese students can win scores of prize in Olympic competitions every year.Guiding is the main concept of education wildly used in western countries. It emphasizes the rights and respects of children, which is base on a trust motion. Schools provide students with fulfilled self-management, support them to control themselves. At home, parents see children as one equal member of the family; they have identical duty and responsibility for the family. Western children have more freedom and private without much instruction; they are more persuaded by enlightening and leading. Westerners intend to offer children opportunities to develop themselves, discovering their potential specialties and abilities. They encourage children to study with interest under pleasure, doing what they want to do and trying the best they can. Thus western children are more responsible and confident; they have a higher grade of self-esteems because of the process of self-learning.On the other hand, self-management does not only depend on students themselves, they do need guidelines from parents and teachers. Guardians should help students to build up sufficiency and strength, also observe their grown to correct any mistakes and weakness. Chinese Education System is good at demonstrating and building moral students always following traditional rules and regulations. But western children show more aggressiveness in personal development, they become the master of their own destiny. They are more ingenious and creative, therefore, the most percentage of Nobel Prize are achieved by western people. It is said that open self-learning system hast he advantage of cultivating top creators.Secondly, the primary education in China is unilaterally seeking for the rate of upgrading since 10 years ago, meaning that they have comparison on the frank of students entering a higher level education. They rank students into 3 grads with their results, and divide schools into 3 categories. Schools recruit students within the same level of grades, so only those high scored students have the opportunity to enter famous school. As a result of this, some of the students who have lower scores may not have a fair chance to develop. Thus causes huge stress burden on both schools’ and students’ shoulders. Schools care about their reputation, certainly more pressure is given to the students. Students care about areafraid of discipline or elimination, with no choice, they have to tolerate the pressure. However, those high education properties such as colleges and universities still have a low percentage of students among all the citizens in China.In an opposite situation, there are a high percentage of high-educationed citizens. There are less entry battles in colleges and universities so that every student may have a chance to enter high education properties. They mainly emphasize the personal development skills of students and set creativeness as a major purpose of education. In their opinion, personal development is according to personal need and demand. Every one has their own character and ambition, educate children toward their interest and specialty is helpful to discover their potential capacity and talent. It is not only for the need of personal development, but also good for social development.Furthermore, parents always tell us that we should have the good manner of studying hard towards goals as a Chinese tradition. Most parents start teaching children simple calculating and writing when they are 3 or 4 years old. Almost every Chinese have the memory of being forced to Chinese ancient poems in their childhood. However, in the 21st century today, only reciting poems and textbooks, expecting high scores in exam,studying without other activities are evidently limited for the multi-changed diversity world. It is even harm for teenagers if dominate their life by studying only, because the ability of innovation is eradicated.In western countries, people more look into children’s perceive abilities. In primary school, teachers conduct classes in discussion and games. Students have little homework but more handwork, they are studying under pleasure. All the subjects in middle school practice the point system, exams are only a small part of course module. Western students just have to keep sufficient attendance and points, they can graduate easily. They have the opportunity to manage their leisure time, develop their interests. We could obviously find out that western people are normally more positive and easy going. They have various knowledge about life and nature which is out of textbooks, also they have better communication skills to getting along with different people.Some people think that Chinese primary education is perfect; the only problem of Chinese Education System is in high level edification, so to improve our system just need to enhance higher level. It is actually an incomplete statem ent because human’s creativeness is nurtured since young. This nurturing must be continuous and mortified all the time. We should connect primary and high education levels with creativeness insequence so as to cultivate our Chinese Nobel Prize Winners.Bach to the previous question, most of Chinese parents think that high education in western countries are much developed than China, in contrast, China has a firm foundation education system. The combination of both systems can braise excellent talents; therefore they keep children studying in China until middle school and send them abroad for colleges and universities. On the other hand, if we give solid foundation to children in China, at the same time, we put their creativeness as one of the targets in a purpose. As a result of that, there is going to be more talented man when they are polished up overseas.To sum up, Chinese Education System and Western Education System have their own advantages and disadvantages. Chinese emphasizes foundational knowledge whereas Western thinks highly of creativeness. If we could join two systems together, there is going be more Chinese performers on the 21st century stage。

海洋概论课程提纲答案1.⽓候变化的驱动机制（What drives Earth’s climate system? ）It’s interactions of climate components including sun, atmosphere, ice, ocean, land surface, vegetation, With External forcing due to nature causes and human activities drives Earth’s climate system.And the change of climate system is the end-product of all sorts of interactions and feedback between different systems: atmosphere, oceans, biosphere, land surface, cry sphere and perturbations from human and natural.e.g. Albedo-Temperature Feedback(positive)Water vapor-Temperature Feedback (positive)Cloud-Temperature Feedback (positive)Snow & ice-Temperature Feedback(positive)Long wave radiation-Temperature Feedback(negative)海洋，陆地，空⽓海洋是全球⽓候系统最重要组成部分，海洋是太阳辐射主要吸收体，海洋有极⼤热容在调节⽓候⽅⾯⽤重要作⽤，海洋是⼤⽓系统中⼆氧化碳最⼤的汇，影响⼤⽓热⼒平衡从⽽影响⽓候2.⼤⽓中CO2变化与海洋中温度、CO2变化之间的关系(what will happen toco2 in the ocean & the temperature in the ocean if the CO2 in the atmosphere changes)Ocean is the biggest Carbon reservoir and the most important CO2 sink of CO2 in the atmosphere.More CO2 in the atmosphere makes ocean temperature goes higher.The relatively warm surface waters of the sea are saturated with CO2.The colder deep waters of the world’s oceans are unsaturated and have an enormous and under-utilized capacity to dissolve CO2.CO2 + H2O + CO3 > 2HCO3This chemical partitioning of DIC ('buffering') affects the air–sea transfer ofCO2For a 100 ppm increase in atmospheric CO2 above today’s level (i.e., from 400 to 500 ppm,), the DIC concentration increase of surface sea water would be about 40% smaller than for a 100 ppm increase relative to pre-industrial levels ( i.e., from 280 to 380 ppm).The DIC increase is about 60% greater than today if atmospheric CO2 were to increase relative to the projected level of 2100 (i.e., from 750 to 850 ppm.The larger the world's phytoplankton population, the more carbon dioxide gets pulled from the atmosphere,the more CO2 that is transferred to the depths of the ocean , and the lower the average temperatures on Earth.3. 全球海洋温度变化机制(what are the variations of oceanglobal view? What causes its changes and how?) The ocean temperature decrease from the equatorial regions to the high latitude polar region as latitude grows.The most important element which influences theLatitudinal ocean temperature is the solar radiationdistribution changing by latitude. The solar radiationdecrease as latitude grows and season changes.Thermohaline Circulation transport heat around the globeand change the heat distribution.‘Committed warming ’ is defined here as the further change in global mean temperature after atmospheric composition (radiation forcing) is held constant.Clearly TOA net radiation surplus in tropics and deficits at high latitudes must be compensated by horizontal energy transports in oceans and atmosphere solar luminosity is raising ,the strength of sun has slowly increased.Southward Return Flow Appears to Have Weakened Over Past 50 years1880年以来海平⾯上升了20cm4.海洋对⼆氧化碳的吸收排放机制，及其规律（How does the ocean intake anduptake co2? What determines its capacity and how）（注意这⾥是史前情况，现今再次讨论）Atmospheric CO2 follows temperature changes with a lag of hundreds of years.Most of the changes are affected by the +ve CO2 feedback - a small initial cooling (warming) due to the Natural Cycle (Milankovitch cycles) is subsequently amplified as the CO2 falls (rise), because of the increased (decreased) CO2 uptake by the oceans.Ocean is the biggest Carbon reservoir. The overwhelming amount of the total amount of C (biosphere + atmosphere + ocean) is in the deep oceanOn entering the ocean, CO2 undergoes rapid chemical reactions with the water and only a small fraction remains as CO2. This chemical partitioning of DIC ('buffering') affects the air–sea transfer ofCO2, as only the unreacted CO2 fraction in the sea water takes part inocean–atmosphere interaction.As more CO2 can be dissolved in cold water than in warm, these cold dense waters sinking to the bottom of the ocean at high latitudes are rich in C and act to move large quantities of carbon from the surface to deep waters. This mechanism is known as the 'solubility pump'.As well as being transported around the ocean, dissolved inorganic carbon is also used by ocean biology like drifting microscopic oceanic plants known as phytoplankton for photosynthesis，take in carbon dioxide during growth and convert it to complex Organic forms.Some of the soft tissue and skeletal material produced in the surface ocean is transferred in the deep ocean through sinking dead micro-organisms. This flux is referred to as the biological pump.CO2 + H2O + CO3 > 2HCO3There is less available CO3 to react with further CO2 additions. This restricts overall ability of surface sea water to take up CO2. As a result of this the ocean CO2 uptake decreases over time.Due to ocean chemistry, ocean carbon content would increase only about 1% The ocean ability to absorb CO2 will decrease at lower PH.5.海平⾯变化机制What causes sea level rise and how?(1) Thermal Expansion of Sea WaterMore CO2 in the atmosphere makes ocean temperature goes higher. As sea water warms, its density decreases. Thus mass of the ocean water will occupy a greater volume as the ocean warms, thereby tending to increases the average sea level. And warming ocean water 3 deg C uniformly will raise sea level about 2.4 m.(2) Melting Glaciers, Small Ice Caps and ice sheet in Greenland andAntarcticaMelting of all mountain glaciers and ice sheet will bring freshwater to the ocean, make it fresher. As sea water density decreases and more freshwater into the sea, the volume of ocean will be greater, thereby tending to increases the average sea level.Complete melting of all mountain glaciers and small ice caps is estimated to raise sea level by 50- 10 cmGreenland’s large ice mass is sufficient to raise level by 7.4 m if it were to completely melt when regional warming as little as 6 deg C. Once the ice sheet disappeared, it would not reform.East AIS would not be melting until coastal climate had warmed by 6-10 deg C. Large portion of West AIS consist of floating IS. The IS are thought to be particularly susceptible to melting as the ocean warms.6.How do the oceans alter the transient climatic response (in terms oftemperature) to a CO2 doubling, and why? (6 marks)Doubling CO2 would add 3.7 W/m2 of the surface of the Earth.Doing that would make the surface warmerTemperature change of 1.5°C to 4.5°C7．Describe the most likely relationship between carbon dioxide and climate during ice ages. How might one have affected the other?Then discuss the relationships between methane and climate for the same situation.Antarctic ice core data show that CO2 concentration is low in the cold glacial times (about 180ppm), and high in warm inter-glacial times (280 ppm).Atmospheric CO2 follows temperature changes in Antarctica with a lag of hundreds of years. Because the climate changes at the beginning and end of the ice ages takes several thousand years.Most of the changes are affected by the +ve CO2 feedback - a small initial cooling (warming) due to the Natural Cycle (Milankovitch cycles) is subsequently amplified as the CO2 falls (rise), because of the increased (decreased) CO2 uptake by the oceans.7.Why the CO2 concentrations before 1800 are not changing with time?Most probably, the carbon cycle prior to the industrial revolution started was in the balanced state, i.e. Carbon sources were approximately equal to carbon sinks.。
