Passage 1

Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage.

All over the world mention of the British education suggests a picture of the “public schools”, and it suggests in particular the names of certain very famous institutions—Eton, Oxford and Cambridge; but people do not always realize what place these institutions occupy in the whole educational system.

Oxford and Cambridge are universities each having about 12,000 students out of a total of over 250,000 students at all British universities. Eton is a public school, and the best known of the public schools, which, in spite of their names, are not really public at all, but independent and private secondary schools taking boys from the age of thirteen to eighteen years. The public schools in reality form a very small part of the school system of secondary education of Great Britain; only about one out

of forty English boys goes to a public school, and one out of 1,500 to Eton.

Apart from the so-called public schools there is a complete system of state primary and secondary education, which resembles in its general form the state education in most other countries. All children must, by law, receive full-time education between the ages of five and sixteen. Any child may attend, without paying fees, a school provided by the public authorities, and the great majority attend such schools. They may continue, still without paying fees, until they are eighteen. The public schools, although unimportant numerically, have been England’s most peculiar and characteristic contribution to educational methods, and they have an immense influence on the whole of English educational practice and on the English social structure.

11. What was the purpose of the author to write the passage?

A. It was to tell people the difference between Eton on the one hand and Oxford and Cambridge on the other.

B. It was to tell people what the public schools in Great Britain are like.

C. It was to tell people something about British educational system.

D. All of the above.

12. How much full-time schooling must a British child-receive and when does it begin?

A. Eleven years starting from the age of five.

B. Seventeen years starting from the age of five.

C. Five years starting from the age of thirteen.

D. Thirteen years starting from the age of five.

13. Which of the following British child is allowed to go to a public school in Great Britain?

A. A thirteen-year-old girl. B. A five-year-old girl

C. A thirteen-year-old boy. D. A five-year-old boy.

14. Why does the author say that the so-called public school Eton is not “public”?

A. Because no girls are admitted in Eton.

B. Because parents have to pay fees for their children at Eton.

C. Because it belongs to the few, numerically unimportant school in Britain.

D. Because only one fortieth of British boys go to Eton.

15. The mention of British education outside Great Britain suggests a picture schools in that country probably because ______.

A. the whole of English educational practice has been greatly influenced by them

B. some of them are as famous as the universities of Oxford and Cambridge.

C. these public schools are quite different in form from the public schools in any other countries

D. there are famous schools like Eton among them

Passage 2

Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage.

Navigation computers, now sold by most car-makers, cost $2,000 and up. No surprise, then, that they are most often found in luxury cars, like Lexus, BMW and Audi. But it is a developing technology—meaning prices should eventually drop—and the market does seem to be growing.

Even at current prices, a navigation computer is impressive. It can guide you from point to point in most major cities with precise turn-by-turn directions—spoken by a clear human-sounding voice,and written on a screen in front of the driver.

 The computer works with an antenna (天線) that takes signals from no fewer than three of the 24 global positioning system (GPS) satellites. By measuring the time required for a signal to travel between the satellites and the antenna, the car’s location can be pinned down within 100 meters.

The satellite signals, along with inputs on speed from a wheel-speed sensor and direction from a meter, determine the car’s position even as it moves. This information is combined with a map database.

Streets, landmarks and points of interest are included.

Most systems are basically identical. The differences come in hardware—the way the computer accepts the driver’s request for directions and the way it presents the driving instructions. On most systems, a driver enters a desired address, motorway junction or point of interest via a touch screen or disc. But the Lexus screen goes a step further: you can point to any spot on the map screen and get directions to it.

BMW’s system offers a set of cross hairs (瞄準(zhǔn)器上的十字紋) that can be moved across the map (you have several choices of map scale) to pick a point you’d like to get to. Audi’s screen can be switched to TV reception.

Even the voices that recite the directions can differ, with better systems like BMW’s and Lexus’s having a wider vocabulary. The instructions are available in French, German, Spanish, Dutch and Italian, as well as English. The driver can also choose parameters for determining the route: fastest, shortest or no freeways , for example.

16. We learn from the passage that navigation computers ________.

A. will greatly promote sales of automobiles

B. may help solve potential traffic problems

C. are likely to be accepted by more drivers

D. will soon be viewed as a symbol of luxury

17. With a navigation computer, a driver will easily find the best route to his destination ________.

A. by inputting the exact address

B. by indicating the location of his car

C. by checking his computer database

D. by giving vocal orders to the computer

18. Despite their varied designs, navigation computers used in cars ________.

A. are more or less the same price

B. provide directions in much the same way

C. work on more or less the same principles

D. receive instructions from the same satellites

19. The navigation computer functions ________.

A. by means of a direction finder and a speed detector

B. basically on satellite signals and a map database

C. mainly through the reception of turn-by-turn directions

D. by using a screen to display satellite signals

20. The navigation systems in cars like Lexus, BMW and Audi are mentioned to show ________.

A. the immaturity of the new technology

B. the superiority of the global positioning system

C. the cause of price fluctuations in car equipment

D. the different ways of providing guidance to the driver

Britain is not just one country and one people; even if some of its people think so. Britain is, in fact, a nation which can be divided into 21 parts, each part being an individual country with its own language, character and cultural 22 . Thus Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales do not claim to 23 to “England” because their inhabitants are not 24 “English”. They are Scottish, Irish or Welsh and many of them prefer to speak their own native tongue, which in turn is 25 to the others.

These cultural minorities(少數(shù)民族) have been Britain’s original inhabitants. In varying degrees they have managed to 26 their national characteristics, and their particular customs and way of life. This is probably even more true of the 27 areas where traditional life has not been so affected by the 28 of industrialism. The Celtic(凱爾特人) races are said to be more emotional  by nature than the English. An Irish temper is legendary. The Scots would rather 29 about their reputation for excessive thrift and prefer to be remembered for their folk songs and dances, while the Welsh are famous for their singing. The Celtic 30 as a whole produces humorous writers and artists, such as the Irish Bernard Shaw, the Scottish Robert Burns, and the Welsh Dylan Thomas, to mention but a few.

A. difficult D. severalG. generallyJ. strictly M. growth

B. temper E. understandable H. character K. tradition N. apply

C. remote F. forget I. preserve L. reserveO. belong

IV.Cloze (20 points)

Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You are required to choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.

Everyone wants to win a first-place blue ribbon(最高的榮譽(yù)), to be the best in something. Even kids in Kindergarten want that blue ribbon. In sports, I was never a blue-ribbon person. In a race, I was always the 31 . In baseball I was likely to be hit on the head or drop the ball. During the spring of my kindergarten year, our class had a field trip to a park in a town about twenty miles away. Making that drive now is no big 32 but when you’re six and you’ve lived in a town of 300 people all your life, going to a big town of a couple of thousand people is really something.

I don’t remember too much about it. But there was one that I will never forget — the three-legged race. The parents tied our feet together. One little boy got me for a 33 . He was the second most 34 boy in our class so he usually won at everything and I knew that with me tied to him he didn’t have a chance. And I’m sure he knew he was in trouble. The gun sounded and we were off. Some couples were falling and stumbling all around us, 35 we stayed on our feet and made it to the other side. 36 , when we turned around and headed back for home, we were in the lead! Only one couple had a chance to win, and they were a good several yards behind us.

A few feet from the finish line, disaster struck: I tripped and fell. We were 37 enough that my partner could have easily dragged me across the finish line and won. But he didn’t. Instead he stopped, 38 down and helped me up — just at the other couple crossed the finish line. As a result, we received a small red ribbon for coming in second.

I still remember that moment when the young boy decided that helping a friend get on her feet was more important than winning a blue ribbon. And 13 years later, I still have that little ribbon because it’s a 39 that a friend like this boy is one who really 40 .
