20、n the second half of the twentieth century, many countries of the South began to send students to the industrialized countries for further education. They 1 needed supplies of highly trained personnel to 2 concept of development based on modernization. But many of these students decided to stay on i
21、n the developed countries when they had finished their training. In the 1960s, some Latin American countries tried to solve this problem by setting up special “return“ programs to encourage their professionals to come back home. These programs received support from international bodies such as the I
22、nternational Organization for Migration, which in 1974 enabled over 1,600 3 scientists and technicians to return to Latin America. In the 1980s and 1990s, “temporary return“ programs were set up in order to make the best use of trained personnel 4 strategic positions in the developed countries. This
23、 gave rise to the United Nations Development Program“s Transfer of Knowledge through Expatriate Nationals, which encourages technicians and scientists to work in their own countries for short periods. But the brain drain from these countries may well increase in 5 to the new laws of the internationa

Recent studies 6 that the most developed countries are going to need more and more highly qualified professionals around twice as many as their educational systems will be able to produce, or so it is thought. As a 7 there is an urgent need for developing countries which send
25、students abroad to give 8 to fields where they need competent people to give muscle to their own institutions, instead of encouraging the training of people who may not come back because there are no professional outlets for them. And the countries of the South must not be content with institutional
26、 structures that simply take back professionals sent abroad; they must introduce 9 administrative procedures to encourage them to return. If they do not do this, the brain drain is 10 to continue.

27、g Kresult Loccupying Murgently Nskeptical Oresponse（分数：35.00）十、Section B(总题数：1，分数：70.00)The Great Charter TryoutALong before Sci Academy, a charter school in New Orleans, had graduated its first senior class, the school was being heaped with accolades (称赞). In September 2010, when Sci Academy was ju
28、st two years old, its 200 excited studentsthen all freshmen and sophomoresfiled into Greater St. Stephen Baptist church, next door to the school. Together with local dignitaries (显要人物), journalists, and a brass band, the students watched on huge screens as the leaders of six charter schools from aro
29、und the country appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show. At the end of the show, they watched as Oprah handed each charter-school leaderincluding Ben Marcovitz, Sci Academy“s foundera $1 million check. BSci Academy is a flagship charter school and a model of the new data-driven, business-infused approach
30、 to education that has won its worship in New Orleans. After Hurricane Katrina in 2005, education reformers swept away what remained of the traditional public schools in what had been one of the nation“s lowest-performing districts. In their place, charters promised choice and increased accountabili
31、ty (负责制). More than 75 percent of New Orleans kids landed in schools controlled by the so-called Recovery School District, which was heavily dominated by charter schools. C“This transformation of the New Orleans educational system may turn out to be the most significant national development in educa
32、tion since desegregation,“ wrote Neerav Kingsland, the CEO of New Schools for New Orleans, the city“s leading venture-philanthropy group incubating local charter schools, a year ago. “New Orleans students have access to educational opportunities that are far superior to any in recent memory.“ DBut e
33、ight years after Hurricane Katrina, there is evidence that the picture is far more complicated. Seventy-nine percent of RSD charters are still rated D or F by the Louisiana Department of Education. Sci is one of two RSD high schools to earn a B; there are no A-rated open-admission schools. In a scho
34、ol system with about 42,000 mostly poor African-American kids, every year thousands are out of school at any given timebecause they are on suspension, have dropped out, or are incarcerated. Even at successful schools, such as the highly regarded Sci Academy, large numbers of students never make it t
35、o graduation, and others are unlikely to make it through college. EFiguring out what has taken place in the New Orleans schools is not just a matter of interest to local residents. From cities like New York to towns like Muskegon Heights, Michigan, market-style reforms have been widely considered as
36、 the answer to America“s educational woes. New Orleans tells us a lot about what these reforms look like in practice. And the current reality of the city“s schools should be enough to give pause to even the most passionate charter supporters. FWith its chain-link fence and campus of module-like buil
37、dingsthe result of a continuing post-Hurricane Katrina building shortageSci Academy doesn“t look much like a model school. Freshmen, wearing the polo shirts and khakis of the school uniform, are required to walk along straight red lines that snake through the school“s breezeways. Placards bearing sl
38、ogans, such as “No Short Cuts; No Excuses“ and “Go Above and Beyond,“ hang overhead. GEverything at Sci Academy is carefully designed to maintain discipline and focus on the school“s principal mission, which is to get every student into college. Each morning, at 8 a.m., the teachers, almost all whit
39、e and in their 20s, gather for a rousing thigh-slapping, hand-clapping, rap-chanting staff revival meeting, the beginning of what will be, for most, a 14- to 16-hour workday. Students arrive a half hour later, and if asked “Why are you here?“ and “What will it take?“ are expected to respond “To lear
40、n“ followed by a recitation of the school“s six core values: “achievement, respect, responsibility, perseverance, teamwork, and enthusiasm.“ HBoth curriculum and behavior are elaborately arranged. As kids file into class, a teacher hands them their “entry ticket,“ a survey that helps determine how m
41、uch students retained from the previous class. An “exit ticket“ distributed at the end of each class establishes how much kids have absorbed. Information from the exit tickets, as well as attendance, demerits for bad behavior, and “Sci bucks“ for good behavior, are keyed into the Sci software system
42、 by teachers every night to help monitor both student and teacher performance. IAfter the storm, the state fired the city“s unionized teachers, who were mostly middle-aged African-Americans, an action that has been challenged in court. While a few schools have hired back teachers who worked in the p
43、re-Katrina schools, the city now relies heavily on inexperienced educatorsmostly young, white, and from out of townwho are willing, at least in the short run, to put in exhausting hours. But at many schools, including Sci Academy, plenty of teachers last for less than two years. JIn New Orleans, tea
44、chers with certifications from Teach for America number close to 400, five times the level a few years ago. Within the RSD, in 2011, 42 percent of teachers had less than three years of experience; 22 percent have spent just one year or less in the classroom, according to “The State of Public Educati
45、on in New Orleans,“ a 2012 report by the pro-charter Cowen Institute at Tulane University. KIn part to help with this lack of experience, charter schools train teachers in highly regimented routines that help them keep control of their classrooms. The city“s charter-school advocates argue that in th
46、e aftermath of the storm, when charter operators had to scale up quickly, they needed to start with basics: first order and security, then skill building. “Kids expect high school to be dangerous. They come to school with their backs up,“ explains Sci Academy“s Marcovitz, a graduate of the elite Mar
47、et school in Washington, D.C., and Yale University. He says the routineswhich are borrowed from methods pioneered by KIPP, a national charter chain that also operates schools in New Orleansare intended to keep students focused and feeling safe. LIn one English class last fall, a teacher who had been
48、 at Sci for about a year held forth on the fine points of grammar, including the subtle difference between modal and auxiliary verbs. As a few heads drifted downward, she employed a popular charter-school management routine to hold the class“s attention. “SPARK check!“ she called. The acronym stands
49、 for sit straight; pencil to paper (or place hands folded in front); ask and answer questions; respect; and keep tracking the speaker. M“Heads up, sit straight15 seconds to go,“ she said, trying to get her students“ attention. “All scholars please raise your homework in THREE, TWO, ONE. We need to set a goal around homework completion. I only see about one third complete homework.“ NIt“s a long way from the city“s charter school roots. In the 1990s, the city“s
