25、 and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer.It 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 impl
26、ied 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, where in the shower or on the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the
27、 whole universe of informal learning. The agents of education can range from a respected 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 conversatio
28、n 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 integr
29、al part of ones 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 tex
30、tbooks, 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
31、 likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.1. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Education and schooling are qui
32、te different experiences B. One can receive education everywhere; going to school is not a must. C. The common belief that people go to school to get an education is wrong. D. Schooling offers a limited section of formal training while education covers a vast field of informal training.2. What does
33、the author probably mean by children interrupt their education to go to schoolin the first paragraph?A. The more years students go to school, the worse their education is.B. People are engaged in education the whole life.C.Children go to school just to make trouble. D. Schooling is not educationally
34、 beneficial. 3.The phase For examplein the third paragraph introduces a sentence that gives examples of .A. the slices of reality that are to be learnedB. the results of schoolingC.limitations of classroom teachingD. the similarities of all schools 4.Which of the following conclusions does the passa
35、ge support?A. Without formal education, people would remain ignorant. B. Education systems need to be thoroughly reformed. C Education involves many years of competence training. D Going to school is only part of ones education. 5. The passage is written in the way of . A. contrasting the meanings o
36、f two related words B. giving examples of different kinds of education C. listing and discussing several educational problems D. providing facts to support an argumentPassage 2Education is one of the key words of our time. A man without an education, many of us believe, is an unfortunate victim of u
37、nfortunate circumstances deprived of one of the greatest twentieth-century opportunities. Conceived of the importance of education, modern statesinvest in institutions of learning to get back interestin the form of a large group of enlightened young men and women who are potential leaders. Education
38、, with its cycles of instruction so carefully worked out, is punctuated by textbooks-those purchasable wells of wisdom-what would civilization be like without its benefits? So much is certain: that we would have doctors and preachers, lawyers and defendants, marriages and births-but our spiritual ou
39、tlook would be different. We would lay less stress onfacts and figuresand more on a good memory, on applied psychology, and on the capacity of a man to get along with his fellow citizens. If our educational system were fashioned after its bookless past we would have the most democratic form of colle
40、geimaginable. Among the people whom we like to call savages, all knowledge inherited by tradition is shared by all; it is taught to every member of the tribe so that in this respect everybody is equally equipped for life.It is ideal condition of the “equal start” which only our most progressive form
41、s oftry to on to seek and receive the traditional instruction is binding to all. There are noilliterateif the term can be peoples without a script-while our own compulsory school attendance became law in Germany in 1642, in France in 1806, in England in 1976, and is still nonexistent in a number of
42、nations. This shows how long it was before we considered it necessary to make sure that all our children could share in the knowledge accumulated by the “happy new” during the past centuries.Education in the wildness is not a matter of monetary means. There, a child grows up under the ever-present a
43、ttention of his parents; therefore the jungles and the savages know of nojuvenile delinquency”. No necessity of making a living away from home results in neglect of children, and no father is confronted with his inability to for his child.1.The wordinterestin the first paragraph means .A.pleasure B.
44、 returns C.shareD.knowledge2. It can be implied from the passage that the author seems .A. against the education in the very early historic timesB. in favor of the educational practice in primitive culturesC. positive about our present educational instructionD. quite happy to see an equal start for
