问题 下面你将听到一段关于中国教育状况的介绍。
    中国人历来重视教育,实施“独生子女”政策后尤为如此。中国家庭的平均教育支出约占其收入的15%,而据中国社会调查所的一项研究成果显示,有43%的家庭都设立了专门账户,用来支付孩子的教育费用。
    近年来,私立学校也开始在中国流行起来。这些学校鼓励校方和家长共同为学校募集办学资金。现在每个在校生的教育费用有三分之一来自政府以外的渠道。
    在中国,考取大学的竞争十分激烈,因而越来越多的学生选择到国外,特别是英国深造。现在去英国深造的中国学生人数超过了任何一个西方国家。据中国驻英使馆统计,目前英国共有6.5万名中国留学生。这些学生每年为英国大学带来高达2.5亿英镑的学费收入。
    在建国以来的55年里,中国在教育方面取得了巨大的进步。据联合国称,1949年中国的文盲率高达80%,而到了2002年中国的文盲率已降至15%以下。
    尽管如此,据联合国统计,中国的人均教育经费在129个国家里仅名列第100名。中国政府意识到,要提高这一世界排名,还需要投入更多的资源。
    为了进一步提高教育水平,中国政府计划到2010年将教育经费增加到占国内生产总值4%的水平。而在10年前,教育经费只占当年国内生产总值的2.6%。

选项

答案     The Chinese have always placed considerable value on education, even more so since the introduction of the one-child policy. The average Chinese household spends 15 percent of its income on education, and a study by the China Social Survey Institute found 43 percent of families have set up special bank accounts to cover the cost of their children’s education.
    Private education has been embraced in China in recent years, and schools and parents are encouraged to raise funds to cover costs. About a third of the cost of educating a schoolchild today comes from non-government sources.
    Competition for university places in China is intense and increasing numbers travel overseas for their tertiary education, especially in Britain. More Chinese students are now educated in Britain than any other country in the West. There are now more than 65,000 Chinese students in the UK, according to the Chinese Embassy in London. Chinese students contribute 250 million pounds in fees each year to Britain’s universities.
    The country has made great strides in the 55 years since the founding of the People’s Republic. According to the United Nations, illiteracy levels have fallen from 80 percent in 1949 to under 15 percent in 2002.
    Even so, it recognizes that more resources are necessary to improve on its UN ranking of 100 out of 129 nations in terms of per-capita education spending.
    To improve its performance further, the Chinese government plans to spend 4 percent of its GDP on education by 2010, up from 2.6 percent at the start of the decade.
