Almost daily, the gulf between education and employment widens. Careers officers complain

about a system that presents them with school-leavers without ideas for employment. Employers deplore the fact that teenagers are unable to spell and write and calculate. Graduates discover that a knowledge of Ancient History or Zoology counts for nothing when they are looking for a job.

With all our magnificent new colleges of further education, the super-polytechnical schools springing up like mushrooms, and our much-praised increase of students in full-time education, one vital point is being left out of educational thinking. What will it earn？ Because--sad as it may seem to those who believe in its mind-broadening, horizon-widening and strength-testing qualities--you cannot eat education. There are thirty-nine universities and colleges offering degree courses in Geography, but I have never seen any good jobs for Geography graduates advertised. Or am I alone in suspecting that they will return to teach Geography to another set of students, who in turn will teach more Geography undergraduates？ On the other hand, hospital casualty departments throughout the country are having to close down because of the lack of doctors. The reason？ University medical schools can find places for only half of those who apply.

It seems to me that the time is ripe for the Department of Education and Productivity and the Department of Education and Science to get together with the universities and produce a revised educational system which will make a more economic use of the wealth of talent, application and industry currently being wasted on certificates, diplomas and, degrees that no one wants to know about. They might make a start by reintroducing a genuine "General" Certificate of Education. In the days when it meant something, this was called the School Certificate. Employers liked it, because it indicated proficiency in English, Arithmetic, Science and Humanities--in other words, that you had an all-round education. You could use it as a springboard to higher education, but it actually meant something in itself, in every industry from chemicals to clothing.

From there on they might take a giant step forward by offering the alternative of sandwich courses or full-time training for every career. I can think of a good few medical students who would willingly "work their way through college" by filling in as nursing auxiliaries at our understaffed hospitals. And it would be interesting to see just how many would-be Geography graduates pressed on with their courses when they discovered at an early stage the scarcity of jobs available in their specialty.

Given the option, I think the majority of those now taking full-time college courses would leap at the chance of combining theory and practice while earning their living. This would leave the full-time courses for the minority of our student population, who can afford to love learning for its own sake, and not as a meal ticket.

Which of the following is NOT taken good care of by colleges？

A．Widening the students' horizon.

B．Broadening the students' mind.

C．Providing the students with practical skills for employment.

D．Providing the students with moral strength.

第1题

Do Chinese painters strive to present the things of daily reality exactly how they are
？ Why？

A.No, they do not, because for Chinese people painting was almost like a magic power that may change our daily reality.

B.No, they do not, because Daoists do not believe in the importance of daily reality, and try to escape from by drawing imaginary paintings.

C.Yes, because they are good at observing and imitating the shape of the real world. Thus they always strive for perfection in paintings.

阅读材料，回答题。

No country in the world has more daily newspapers than the USA. There are almost 2,000 of them, as compared with 155 in Japan, 164 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world. Distinguished dailies like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country. However, the Post and the Times are not national newspapers in the sense that The Times is in Britain or LeMonde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these present detailed accounts of national and international news, but many tend to limit themselves to state or cite news.

Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the "sensational", which feature crime, sex and rumor, to the serious, which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions American newspapers try to entertain as well as give in-formation, for they have to compete with television.

Just as American newspapers give way to all tastes, so do they also try and apply to readers for all political persuasions. A few newspapers support extremist groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers attempt to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are essentially moderate. Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of different political and social views, in order to present a balanced picture.

As in other democratic countries American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once bravely uncovered political scandals (丑闻) or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair. The newspapers drew the attention of the public to the fears of the Vietnam War.

There are fewer national newspapers in_______ 查看材料

A.Britain than in the US

B.France than in Britain

C.the USA than in Britain or France

D.France than in the USA or Britain

Some people might put this question: How useful is walking for your health？

Now, the answer comes as follows:

Walking is the one of the easiest way to exercise. You can do it almost anywhere and at any time. Walking is also inexpensive. All you need is a pair of comfortable shoes. Walking will give you more energy, make you feel good, help you to relax, reduce stress, help you sleep better, tone your muscles, decrease the risk of death, heart attacks, stroke, some cancers, depression, anxiety and obesity. It improves overall health and lightens your mood. It also helps control your appetite, and increase the number of calories(卡路里) your body uses. For all these masons, people have started walking programs.

Doctors recommend thirty minutes of physical activities (walking or other physical activities) on most days. A fast 30-minute uses 100 calories. You can easily add 30 minutes of exercise daily by making a few minor changes, such as parking farther from work or from a store, then walking the extra distance.

Which is not mentioned as one of the advantages of walking in this passage？

A．It can help you lose weight.

B．It gives you more energy.

C．It's cheap.

D．It helps to increase your appetite.

第5题

Parrots are becoming one of the most popular pets in America -- and for good reason. T
he parrot is an extraordinary bird that can be taught to talk, can be easily cared for, and can create a lively atmosphere anywhere. With the help of an energetic parrot owner, a parrot can develop an enormous vocabulary. In addition, a parrot can be trained to say "Pretty boy" or "Polly wants a cracker, " and it also can learn to whistle or sing. No matter what an owner decides to teach a bird, training a parrot takes much patience, but the reward is a stream of chatter. Another reason for the parrot's popularity is that this pet does not require much care. For example, even a spoiled parrot does not need a house sitter for the purpose of daily walks and daily feeding. In fact, a parrot owner may leave his or her pet with enough food for five days and have no fear that the parrot will overeat. Still another advantage of owning a parrot is its inexpensive food, including seeds, nuts, corn, and grain -- along with an apple, banana, or carrot. Perhaps the most likely reason the parrot is becoming such a well-liked pet is that it is a combination of tameness and wildness. Because the parrot can live in almost any environment, it makes a fine, tame companion for many people. In addition, because it can be easily trained, it is a delightful performer. At the same time, its colorful feathers give it an air of the mystery of the parrot's native home, the jungle. Thus, the parrot, once a highly valued gift presented to kings and noble families, is now appreciated by a growing number of people.

1.A parrot can be trained to do all the following but ____.

A、talk

B、help its owner

C、sing

D、create a lively atmosphere

2.Which of the following is NOT a reason for the easy raising of the parrot？ ____

A、It eats very little.

B、Its food is inexpensive.

C、It does not need a house sitter.

D、It does not require daily walks as dogs do.

3.The word "tameness" in the passage means ____.

A、the quality of being brave or unafraid

B、the quality of being kind or warm-hearted

C、the quality of being uncontrollable or fierce

D、the quality of being gentle or trained

4.The word "jungle" probably means ____.

A、boundless desert with very little plant life

B、large apartment building with pleasing surroundings

C、wild land overgrown with thick bushes and trees

D、snow-covered mountain top in very cold areas.

5.The writer ____.

A、likes the parrot

B、dislikes the parrot

C、does not like nor dislike the parrot

D、values the parrot highly

Exercise is one of the few factors with a positive role in long term maintenance of body weight.

The Centers for Disease Control, for example, found that fewer than one-fourth of overweight adults were trying to shed __2__pounds said they were combining exercise with their diet. In rejecting exercise, some people may be discouraged too much by calorie-expending charts; for example, one would have to __3__briskly walk three miles just to work the 275 calories in one __4__delicious Danish pastry. Even exercise professionals concede half a point here. "Exercise in itself is a very tough way to lose weight," __5__says York Onnen, the program director of the President's Council on __6__Physical Fitness and Sports.

Therefore, exercise's supporting role in weight reduction is vital. __7__A study at the Boston University Medical Center of overweight police officers and other public employees confirmed that those who diet __8__without exercise regained almost all their old weight, while those who worked exercise into their daily routine maintained their new weight.

If you decide to start walking one mile a day, the added exercise could burn an extra 100 calories daily. In a year's time, assumed no __9__increase in food takein, you could lose ten pounds. By increasing the __10__distance of your walks gradually and making other dietary adjustments,you may lose even more weight.

第9题

A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible
to learn in general history classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics, and war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions, and psychology. In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestors—or of people very different from our own—can be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than can be found in most history books.

In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective: it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly "political" artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May, 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its misuse of power over people. Over a hundred years later, symbolic images were used in Pablo Picasso's Guernica to express the horror of war. Meanwhile, on another continent, the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros-as well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martinez-depicted these Mexican artists' deep anger and sadness about social problems.

In the same way, art can reflect a culture's religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art was almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible. Al though most people couldn't read, they could still understand biblical stories in the pictures on church walls. By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is) its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic belief that statues are unholy.

More can be learned about a culture from a study of art history than general history because art history ______.

A．shows us the religious beliefs and emotions of a people in addition to political values.

B．provides us with information about the daily activities of people in the past

C．gives us an insight into the essential qualities of a time and a place

D．all of the above
