It can last anywhere from one to six years, but four years is typical for most. An apprentice spends the majority of the time in a workplace environment learning the practical skills of a career from a journeyman someone who has done the job for many years. The rest of the apprentices time is spent in a classroom environment learning the theoretical skills the career requires. Being an apprentice is a fulltime undertaking.One of the advantages of apprenticeship is that it does not cost apprentices anything. The companies that hire them pay for school. Whats more, it offers apprentices an “earn while you learn” opportunity. They usually start out at half the pay of a journeyman, and the pay increases gradually as they move further along in the job and studies. Near the end of the apprenticeship, their wages are usually 90 percent of what a journeyman would receive. Apprenticeship also pays off for employers. It can offer employers a pool of welltrained workers to draw from.Despite the advantages, apprentices are usually required to work during the day and attend classes at night, which leaves little time for anything else. Sometimes, they might be laid off(下岗) if business for the employers is slow.Once they have completed the apprenticeship and become journeymen, they receive a nationally recognized and portable certification and their pay also increases again. Some journeymen continue employment with the companies they apprenticed with; others go onto different companies or become selfemployed contractors. (3)(13 min.)(衡阳市八中2012届高三第二次月考试卷)An altimeter(测高计)is an instrument used in an airplane to tell the pilot how high he is flying. The altimeter used in most airplanes is a kind of barometer(气压计), which, like barometers found in ordinary homes, is a measuring instrument for air pressure. The weight of the atmosphere presses downwards everywhere. At sea level this pressure is more than 14 pounds on every square inch of the surface. The higher you go into the air, the lower the air pressure is. An altimeter measures this air pressure to show the altitude of the airplane, or, how high it is above sea level.But the altimeter does not show how high the plane is above the ground. A plane might be flying at an altitude of 15, 000 feet, but it would be only a thousand feet or so above the ground if the land in that area happened to be 14, 000 feet above sea level.The pilot adjusts his altimeter to the actual sealevel pressure before setting out from the airport and then corrects it in flight according to new information given to him by radio. He flies high enough to be above any mountain he may pass on his course. The barometer altimeter is correct within about 300 feet.Another kind of altimeter, the radio altimeter, makes use of radio reflections. It calculates the height of the flying plane by sending out electrical signals to the surface below and measuring the time required for them to bounce back(反弹). It is correct within 15 feet over water, but is not reliable over land. Big planes usually have both kinds of altimeter.Title: 1. _2. _An instrument used in an airplane to tell the pilot 3. _ of the craft.4. _ 5. _ The radio altimeterHow it worksby 6. _ to show the altitude of the airplane, or the height above sea levelby giving out 7. _to the surface below and measuring the time required for them to bounce backHow to8. _adjust it to the actual sealevel pressure before the plane 9. _.correct it in flight according to new information. /Requirementswithin 10. _within 15 feet over water (4)(12 min.)(师大附中2012届高三月考)What is elearning? Elearning is essentially the computer and networkenabled transfer of skills and knowledge, whose content is delivered via the Internet, audio or video tape, satellite TV, and CDROM. Elearning dates back to the early 1960s when Stanford University psychology professors Patrick Suppes experimented with using computers to teach math. As early as 1997 William D. Graziadei published an article which described developing an overall strategy for technologybased course development and management for an educational system. Today people are using many technologies in elearning, blogs and virtual classrooms included. There are different types of elearning that are available. Some educational experts suggest that different types or forms of elearning can be considered as a continuum, from no elearning, ie. no use of computers or the Internet for teaching and learning, through classroom aids, such as making classroom lecture Powerpoint slides available to students and through a course website, to laptop programs, where students are required to bring laptops to class and use them as part of a facetoface class, to mixed learning, where classroom time is reduced but not eliminated, with more time devoted to online learning, to fully online learning, which is a form of distance education. Due to the effectiveness of elearning methods, this type of learning methodology is rapidly becoming popular among schools. By 2006, 3.5 million students had participated in learning courses through the Internet at institutions of higher education in the United States. Alien and Seamen claim that almost a quarter of all students in postsecondary education were taking fully online courses in 2008, and a report by Ambient Insight Research suggests that in 2009, 44 per cent of postsecondary students in the USA were taking some or all of their courses online, and some professors predicted that this figure would have been doubled by 2014. Thus it can be seen that elearning is moving rapidly from the margins to being a predominant form of postsecondary education.Elearning has created a new paradise in education and it has greatly complemented our traditional methods and thus it has brought students a lot of advantages. We expect much more growth in adoptions of it in schools. An 1. _ to Elearning. Definition: Transfer of skills and knowledge 2. _ of computer and network, etc. .
