Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Online learning is also called distance education, which helps students who take classes by computer over the Internet to learn certain courses and earn a degree. And it has become more and more popular with both young people and educational institutions.The School of Continuing and Professional Studies of New York University in Manhattan began online classes in 1992. Its Virtual School has taught more than 10,000 students from across the United States and other countries.Last year，the school launched NYU Online. It offers NYU's first online Programs for a bachelor's degree. Programs are offered in three areas; leadership And management, information systems management and social sciences. The classes are highly interactive where students communicate with each other and their teachers. Some classes require students to log in at the same time so they can attend live lectures by a professor Students can also ask questions and work together on team projects.The cost to attend NYU Online depends on how many classes a student is to take It costs as much as fifteen thousand dollars a year. NYU offers no financial aid for international students in this program. If you are interested in the program, you can gel more details at the website: www..nyu.edu. Many other schools, too, offer online education. Students should be especially careful of programs that offer a degree in return for little or no work. These are known as diploma mills, and are illegal in the United States.Educational advisers also say that before you enter any program, make sure the work will be recognized in your country. You should also make sure the schools you are considering are officially approved.26. The third paragraph is mainly about the __ of the programs of the School.A. academic goal and systemB. courses and learning modeC. learning methods and classesD. courses and requirements

Passage FourStudents all over the world have to work for their education. A college education in the United States isexpensive. The costs are so high that most families begin to save for their children's education when their children are babies. Even so, many young people cannot afford to pay the expenses of full-time college work. They do not have enough money to pay for school costs. Tuition for attending the university, books for classes, and living expenses are high. There are other expenses such as chemistry and biology lab fees and special student activity fees for such things as parking permits and football tic, kets. The cost of college education increases every year. However, classrooms are still crowded with students. Some American students have scholarships or other support, but many do not.Students from other countries have money problems to overcome, too. Because students in most international programs need to have a sponsor, they work hard to earn scholarships or special loans. International students understand the value of going to school in another country. They also know that it is difficult. Yet just as Americans choose to attend American universities in spite of the difficulty, however, it is usually possible for students from abroad to work on university campuses to pay for some of the costs of their education. Some people believe that students value their education more if they work for it.48. Tuition for attending the university in the United States is ______.A. inexpensiveB. highC. free from chargeD. costless

Schooling and EducationIt is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get an education. Nevertheless,it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school.The distinction between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no bounds. It can take place anywhere,whether in the shower or in the job,whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning.The agents of education can range from a revered grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio,from a child to a distinguished scientist.Whereas schooling has a certain predictability,education quite often produces surprises.A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions.People are engaged in education from infancy on.Education,then,is a very broad,inclusive term. It is a lifelong process,a process that starts long before the start of school,and one that should be an integral part of one's entire life.Schooling,on the other hand,is a specific,formalized process,whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next.Throughout a country,children arrive at school at approximately the same time,take assigned seats,are taught by an adult,use similar textbooks,do homework,take exams,and so on.The slices of reality that are to be learned,whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of government,have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject being taught.

Home SchoolingAll children in the United States have to receive an education,but the law does not say they have to be educated at school. A number of parents prefer not to send their children to school.______(46)There are about 300,000 home-schoolers in the United States today.Some parents prefer teaching their children at home because they do not believe that public schools teach the correct religious values;others believe they can provide a better educational experience for their children by teaching them at home.______(47)David Guterson and his wife teach their three children at home.Guterson says that his children learn very differently from children in school.______(48)For example,when there is heavy snowfall on a winter day,it may start a discussion or reading about climate,snow removal （去除）equipment , Alaska , polar bears（北极熊）,and winter tourism. A spring evening when the family is out watching the stars is a good time to ask questions about satellites and the space program.______（49)Home schooling is often more interesting than regular schools,but critics say that home-schoolers are outsiders who might be uncomfortable mixing with other people in adult life. ______(50)However,most parents don't have the time or the desire to teach their children at home,so schools will continue to be where most children get their formal education.______(49)A: Interestingly,results show that home-schooled children quite often do better than average on national tests in reading and math.B: Critics also say that most parents are not well qualified to teach their children.C: Learning starts with the children's interests and questions.D: Children who are educated at home are known as“home-schoolers.”E: In some countries,however,children are educated by their parents.F: If the Brazilian rain forests are on the TV news,it could be a perfect time to talk about how rain forests influence the climate,and how deserts are formed.

第三篇The Home-schoolingSometimes,the line between private and public education can become very vague.Educators in the United States are wondering whether children who are taught at home should get some public services or how this growing practice(about 3 percent of American students are not fully registered in schools but receive education at home)should be regulated.In many western countries,many private schools are founded by religious bodies. Approximately haff the parents who decide to teach their kids at home are motivated religiously and use lessons by Internet or mail from church schools.Probably an additional fourth have some doubts about public education.They believe that regular schools don't meet the special needs of their children.It also happens that home-school is adopted by parents to escape compulsory education,for example,some selfish parents have older children take care of his or her younger siblings（兄弟姐妹）or work in home businesses while only teaching them for a very short time.Weakness in regulations in most states of the US means that officials seldom monitor or challenge parents who say they are teaching their children at home,although children often learn well in home-schooling. With growing frequency,however,public schools offer services to the home-schooled.Local government may allow children who receive education at home to enroll local school part time.However,educators have concerns that these kids could later return full time,but their serious academic weaknesses may lead them to falling behind in their studies,and some districts wanting to qualify for state aid can benefit from kids who used to study part time to fill empty seats.In Kent,Ohio,Mrs. Ringer taught her three children at home in the past years while operating her bakery business there in the non-teaching hours.Mrs. Ringer said to our reporter that her motive was to give her children more training in basic curriculum,such as phonics（读音法）.Her curriculum is from a church school,and relevant tests are handed in and returned via e-mail.Three years ago her second child,Mark,wanted to join school programs regularly,and he enrolled at the local high school.Unable to keep pace with his classmates,Mark soon changed his mind and decided to continue studying at home.But he enjoyed the athletic program and chorus at school,so he was allowed by Mr. Ringer to continue in them while taking other courses at home.The education experts want to know_______.A:in what way home-schooling can be regulatedB:whether children should get some public servicesC:whether the family-school should be bannedD:whether it is appropriate for children to study at home

Approximately haff the parents who decide to teach their kids at home are motivated religiously and use lessons by Internet or mail from church schools.Probably an additional fourth have some doubts about public education.They believe that regular schools don't meet the special needs of their children.It also happens that home-school is adopted by parents to escape compulsory education,for example,some selfish parents have older children take care of his or her younger siblings（兄弟姐妹）or work in home businesses while only teaching them for a very short time.Weakness in regulations in most states of the US means that officials seldom monitor or challenge parents who say they are teaching their children at home,although children often learn well in home-schooling. With growing frequency,however,public schools offer services to the home-schooled.Local government may allow children who receive education at home to enroll local school part time.However,educators have concerns that these kids could later return full time,but their serious academic weaknesses may lead them to falling behind in their studies,and some districts wanting to qualify for state aid can benefit from kids who used to study part time to fill empty seats.In Kent,Ohio,Mrs. Ringer taught her three children at home in the past years while operating her bakery business there in the non-teaching hours.Mrs. Ringer said to our reporter that her motive was to give her children more training in basic curriculum,such as phonics（读音法）.Her curriculum is from a church school,and relevant tests are handed in and returned via e-mail.Three years ago her second child,Mark,wanted to join school programs regularly,and he enrolled at the local high school.Unable to keep pace with his classmates,Mark soon changed his mind and decided to continue studying at home.But he enjoyed the athletic program and chorus at school,so he was allowed by Mr. Ringer to continue in them while taking other courses at home.What is Mrs.Ringer's reason for teaching her kids at home?A:They can help her to look after her bakery store.B:Her children cannot catch up with the school education.C:She can teach them more basics.D:Her children want to participate only some programs provided by local schools.

Schooling and EducationIt is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get an educa-tion.Nevertheless,it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The distinction between schooling and education implied by this remark is important. Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no bounds. It can take place anywhere,whether in the shower or in the job,whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It in-cludes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning. The agents of education can range from a revered grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio,from a child to a distinguished scientist.Whereas schooling has a certain predictability,education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other reli- gions.People are engaged in education from infancy on.Education,then,is a very broad,inclusive term .It is a lifelong process,a process that starts long before the start of school,and one that should be an integral part of one's entire life.Schooling,on the other hand,is a specific,formal-ized process,whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next.Throughout a country,children arrive at school at approximately the same time,take as-signed seats,are taught by an adult,use similar textbooks,do homework,take exams,and so on .The slices of reality that are to be learned,whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of government,have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject being taught.For example,high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experi- menting with .There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling. Through out the country,children arrive at school at different time.A: RightB: WrongC: Not mentioned

问答题Directions:In this section, there is one passage followed by 5 questions. Read the passage carefully, then answer the questions in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet. High Dropout Rate in US Many young people in the United States never finish high school. Exactly how many dropouts is another issue. Recent studies of dropout rates have had conflicting results. For one thing, schools define and measure their dropout rates differently. Some researchers say about fifteen to twenty parents of public school students do not complete their education. But many other experts and policymakers believe that for the past twenty years, the dropout rate has been around thirty percent. For Latino and black students, the numbers are even higher. Researchers say almost half of them leave school. At the same time, almost half the states let students leave school before the age of eighteen without informing their parents. Finding a good job without a high school education is more and more difficult. A Northeastern University study in 2002 found that almost half of all dropouts aged sixteen to twenty-four did not have a job. The lack of high school education can also lead to other problems. An estimated two-thirds of prisoners in the United States dropped out of high school. Recent studies have shown that the majority of students who drop out do not do it because they are failing. Many are bored with their classes or feel disconnected from their school and teachers. Some students feel that educators place low expectations on them. Teen pregnancies also add to the dropout problem. During the past twenty years, there have been efforts to increase graduation rate through education reforms. Some communities are working on dropout prevention programs. These include alternative high schools to meet special needs. Some programs, for example, provide free transportation and childcare to help young mothers and fathers finish school. Yet special programs can cost a lot, and many school systems have limited budgets. Federal spending on second-chance programs to help students finish school has decreased from the 1970s. This was shown in a report last year from the Educational Testing Service. Experts suggest early warning systems to help identify young schoolchildren at risk of dropping out of high school. They say schools also need to get parents more involved, especially if their children are missing school often. Questions: 1．What is the researchers’ estimated percentage of school dropouts among Latino and black students? 2．What efforts have been made to increase graduation rates? 3．What has been done to help young parents complete their education? 4．Who made a report about the decrease，of Federal spending on second-chance programs to help students finish school? 5．What do experts suggest setting up to help prevent students from dropping out of school?

问答题Practice 8 For most people the word “education” means “school” and “school” conjures up an image of a building with classrooms. But what do people think of when they hear “literacy programmes”? Probably nothing. Living in illiteracy is such an unknown-even a little mysterious-experience. Yet today nearly a billion people are illiterate, not to mendon the 113 million school-aged children who do not attend school. Wonderful progress has been made during the last half of the twentieth century in the field of education. But still the number of adult illiterates, particularly women, rises. This is now the challenge of the twenty-first century-the thorn in the side of efforts to achieve Education for All (EFA). It has become clear that Education for All cannot be possible without Literacy for All. However, tremendous strides have been made in literacy. How has this been possible? Who brought it about? The people behind literacy efforts must be congratulated for working against all odds to bring about this achievement. But where are they? Who are they? What are their tasks like? And their problems, challenges and rewards? What inspires them? What conditions do they work and live under?
