The National Curriculum does not apply in Scotland, where each school decides what subjects it will teach. ExaminationsAt 16 students in England and Wales take GCSE examinations. These examinations are taken by students of all levels of ability in any of a range of subjects and may involve a final examination, an assessment (评价) work done during the two-year course, or both of these things. At 18 some students take A-level examinations, usually in not more than three subjects. It is necessary to have A-levels in order to go to a university or polytechnic(综合技术大学).In Scotland students take the SCE examinations. A year later, they can take examinations called HIGHERS, after which they can either go straight to a university or spend a further year at school and take the Certificate(证书) Sixth Year Studies. Courses usually last four years rather than three and students study a larger number of subjects as part of their degree.1 Are the same subjects taught all over the UK?2 In England and Wales, what examinations do the students have to pass before entering a university?3 What are the differences between university systems in Scotland and in England and Wales?三、新题型训练 阅读下列短文，从A-F中给每段选一个合适的标题，（有多余选项）A.

Wonderful study programs for the students 1、Problem of safe isnt new to us. However, when it comes to the campus security, we have to look on it seriously and urgently. We all know we can only soak up knowledge in a quiet safe place. A surrounding with stealing, mugging cant be worse for studying. Students will be busy trying to keep their goods and themselves safe, lock every lock even to hide a pair of sock. We can easy figure out a place of chaos, not speakingthe existenceofatmosphere of studying.2、We have a large dining hall for 600 students and teachers at the same time. There is a standard playground, an indoor swimming pool, a tennis court and a large recreational area. In our school we have more than one hundred staff. We have all teaching sections for the subjects including Chinese, Mathematics, English, Physics, Chemistry, Science, Art, History, Geography and PE. Swimming, art, English, biology are typical in the field of High school education. A positive high school experience can lead to a lifetime of success.3、There are many study programs to high school students from many educational backgrounds with unique personal dreams. Our students work at their own pace, make important connections, and excel academically all towards achieving their goals. Along the way, they develop practical life skills they can take wherever life leads them. 4、 In the United States, most children begin attending school when they are five years old. Public education is free and most children go to schools near their homes. School in these early years is fun. The children learn to read and write. But they also play games and go to trips. There is no reason at such an early age for them to hit the books. The situation changes as children become old. The subjects become more difficult. Tests become more common. Pressure is growing to hit the books, study hard, and advance. However, most serious students only really begin hitting the books for long hours when they reach high school. High school students who hope to continue their education at a college or university must take a special national test called the S-A-T. The test has two parts. The first part tests the students ability with numbers and mathematical skills. The second part tests the students ability in the English language. The S-A-T test is very important. A high school student who gets a high score on the two parts of the test has a good chance to enter a top American college. For this reason, many students hit the book for months to prepare for the S-A-T.Period2Reading一、列短语译成英语： 1. 一篇报刊杂志上魏华写的文章 2. 一段非常开心兴奋的经历 3. 因而高兴 4. 比平时晚起一小时 5. 参加开学典礼 6. 坐在的旁边 7. 赢得某人的尊敬 8. 得高分 9听起来像 10. 教某人文学课 11平均大小 12. 对我来说是个挑战 13感到幸运 14. 我的英语进步很快 15花时间做 16. 在午饭时 17给发电子邮件 18. 做免费 19在学期末 20. 举行一次班级晚会 21放弃某些课程 22. 了解大意 23逐字地 24. 平均 25向作自我介绍 26. 网上冲浪 27正如你提到的 28. 想到你 29.了解中国的中学 30. 用短句回答下列问题三、 重点提示1.

Our purpose is to fit them for life. Life is changing; so is education. As soon as we realize this fact, we will understand that it is very important to choose a proper system of education. In some countries with advanced industries, they have the Public School education system. They call it free education for all. Under this system people, no matter whether they are rich or poor, clever or foolish, have a chance to be educated at universities or colleges. They have for some time thought, by free education for all, they can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough. We find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees than there are jobs for them to fill. As a result of their degrees, they refuse to do what they think is “low” work. In fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries.( )1.Why is it very important to choose a proper system of education? Because _. A. life is changing B. education must change with it C. education remains the same all the time D. both A and B( )2.In a country where there is the Public School education system, _. A. only the foolish have a chance to be educated at universities or colleges B. both the rich and the poor can go to colleges or universities C. people dont have to pay for their childrens education D. both B and C( B)Chapel Hill-Chauncy Hall boarding （寄宿的）students are the heart of the school. Because school is their home, they make it feel like home for everyone else too. Whether youre from Tacoma or Taiwan, Haiti or Hartford, Springfield Illinois or Singapore, boarding is a good experience. Indeed，boarders are often of different groups, so the boarding life offers students the rare chance to bridge cultures, races, countries and social backgrounds. Boarding life is close, with three or four house-parents in each dorm（宿舍） . Dorms also have proctors（学监） , who are necessary to the business of the dorms , as they help first year students and also in the communication between students and house-parents.Every evening from 7:30 to 9:30 is for controlled study hall. High speed internet can be used in the dorms. Study in the evening is balanced（平衡） with free time to play, check e-mail, or just chat with friends. Before long, students have made friendships that will last a lifetime.There are many exciting social activities to take part in at weekends. Remember, Boston and all its attractions are only 1
