from 2014，the government will measure schools according to the rate of their pupils who go to university. brian lightman , general secretary of the association of school and college leaders, says the government has already put teachers under “very great pressure to focus on academic subjects”.on the other hand, the education act 2011，which came into force in november, places schools under a duty to give fair career advice to pupils. this advice must include information on all post-16 education and training choices, including apprenticeships. this doesnt appear to be happening in several schools, according to ofsted9s report. many of the young people the inspectors talked to said the advice they had received on apprenticeships was “unsatisfactory”. schools were also blamed for lack of work experience courses, which are particularly important for teenagers considering an apprenticeship. they help students decide whether they enjoy a line of work and enable employers to see whether those on work experience have the potential to be hired as apprentices in future years. but there is a good reason why they cant do this: theyd be unable to adapt to gcse (英国普通中等教育证书）exams if they did. sometimes, it seems, schools just cant win.13. why do teachers oppose the students leaving school and working as apprentices?a. the government urges teachers to concentrate on academic subjects.b. the students are only wasting time working as apprentices.c. employers are under great pressure of taking gcse exams.d. employers dont give students chances to work as apprentices14. pressure for schools to provide pupils with career advice comes from _. a. association of school and college leaders b. education act 2011c. gcse exams d. ofsted15. what does the author think of teachers discouraging students working as apprentices?a. surprising b. understandable c. wrong d. right参考答案13-15 a b b【社会生活类】阅读理解。homeownership has let us down. for generations, americans believed that owning a home was undoubtedly good. our political leaders hammered home the point. franklin roosevelt held that a country of homeowners was “unconquerable.” homeownership could even save babies, save children, save families and save america. a house with a lawn and a fence wasnt just a nice place to live in or a risk-free investment; it was a way to transform a nation.no wonder leaders of all political types wanted to spend more than $100 billion a year on subsidies and tax breaks to encourage people to buy. but the dark side of homeownership is now all too apparent: indeed, easy lending stimulated by the cult of homeownership may have triggered the financial crisis. housing remains a drag on the economy. existing-home sales in april dropped 27% from the prior month, worsening fears of a double-dip. and all that is just the obvious tale of a housing bubble and what happened when it popped.the real story is deeper and darker still.for the better part of a century, politics, industry and culture lined up to create a fetish of the idea of buying a house.homeownership has done plenty of good over the decades; it has provided stability to tens of millions of families. yet by idealizing the act of buying a home, we have ignored the downsides. in the bubble years, lending standards slipped dramatically, allowing many americans to put far too much of their income into paying for their housing. and we ignored longer-term phenomena too.homeownership contributed to the hollowing out of cities and kept renters out of the best neighborhoods. it fed americasover use of energy and oil. it made it more difficult for those who had lost a job to find another. perhaps worst of all, it helped us become casually self-deceiving: by telling ourselves that homeownership was a pathway to wealth and stable
