In 1963, the Labour Party put forward a new idea for education. It was a plan for a “university in the air”. This university would make use of television, radio and correspondence courses to give educational opportunity to people who did not have a chance to go to university, but many people laughed at the idea at that time. By 1969 the plan was well advanced and by August 1970 the Open University, as it is now called, had received forty thousand applications. However, only twenty-five thousand of them were accepted. In January 1971, many clerks, farm workers, housewives, teachers, policemen attended the first class over the radio or on TV. Meanwhile study centres were set up all over the country so that students could spend one week a year at one of the universitys summer schools. In recent years, with the help of CD-Rom, computer conferencing, email, World Wide Web and many other modern technologies, studies in the Open University become more and more convenient. It is probably the cheapest and most far-reaching method to promote education. ( ) 21. The courses of the Open University in Britain are open to anyone who wants to take them. . ( ) 22.

Passage 2 Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees, the color of most growing plants. Sometimes the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes it describes something that is not yet ripe or finished. Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a “green thumb”. The expression and a similar one, “green fingers” come from the early 1900s. A person wit “green thumb” seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You could say that the woman next door has a “green thumb” when her garden continues to produce long after your plants have died. You may wish to have a “green thumb”. But you surely do not to be a “greenhorn”. A “greenhorn” is a person who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the 15th century, a “greenhorn” was a young cow or ox whose horns had not yet developed. A century or so later a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battles. By the 18th century a greenhorn had the meaning it has todaya person who is new in a job. Green is also the colour used to describe the powerful emotion, jealousy. The “green-eyed monster” is not a frightening creature from outer space. It is the name given by Shakespeare in his play “Othello” to jealousy. In most places in the world, a green light is a signal to go ahead. A green light from a traffic signal means your vehicle may continue on. In everyday speech a “green light” means approval to continue with a program or action. ( ) 26. We can use the word green to describe something that is not ripe. ( ) 27. If we say a person has “green fingers”, we mean that he is good at growing plants. ( ) 28. In the 15th century, a greenhorn refers to a soldier who had no experience in battles. ( ) 29. Green is also used to describe the emotion of jealousy. ( ) 30. In daily speech, a “green light” means disapproval to continue with a program or action.

Now, however, people say that today children interrupt their education to go to school. This remark, doubtlessly, implies an important distinction between schooling and education. Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no bounds. It can take place anywhere, whether in the shows or on the jobs, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning. The instructors of education can range from a kind grandma to the excited people debating on the radio, from a nave child to the respected scientists. If schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little he knows of other religions. People get education from infancy on. It is a life-long process, a process that starts long before the start of school. Education is, therefore, an integral part of ones entire life. Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific formalized process. It has general patterns with little difference in nature. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar text books, do homework, take exams, and so on. There, the learning contents are usually limited by the boundaries of the subject. For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their communities, or what newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are definite conditions limiting the formalized process of schooling. 31.What is the main idea of the passage? A. The best schools teach a wide variety of subjects B. Education and schooling are quite different experiences. C. Students benefit from schools, which require long hours and homework D. The more years students go to school, the better their education is. 32. What does the author probably mean by using expression “children interrupt their education to go to school”? A. Going to different schools is educationally beneficial. B. School vacations interrupt the community of the school year. C. Summer school makes the school year too long. D. All of life is an education. 33.The word “bounds” in line 2 of the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _. A. rulesB. experiencesC. limitsD. exceptions 34. The word “chance” in line 7 of the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _.A. unplanned B. unusualC. longD. lively35.Which of the following conclusions does the passage support? A. Without formal education, people would remain ignorant. B. Education systems need to be radically reformed. C. Going to school is only part of how people become educated.D. Education involves many years of professional training. Passage 2What a strange world this would be if everyone told the truth! Even though the whole world claim to dislike lies, it seems that lying is a universal communication style. Most of us get angry at big lies, but how about truth telling in our private life? Should we always tell the truth to husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, and children? Public opinion polls find that only about one in ten Americans say they never tell a lie. Some studies showed that each student actually told about two lies today. Half of all adults interviewed in a radio poll last year admitted they had told a lie they regretted, and many said they had been deeply hurt by a lie someone told them. Researches asked some people to describe the lies they told over a period of weeks. They nearly all stressed that what they told were white lies, and denied having told serious lies. We tell different lies to men than to women. Men and women tell more lies about themselves when talking to men, but more lies about others when talking to women. Men are particularly likely to lie about themselves. Women tell more lies than men, but only because women tell white lies in order to make others feel comfortable. Surveys show that nearly everyone believes most people are truthful. Thats why people are so bad at detecting lies. Psychologists have even tested the lie-detecting ability of police officers, judges, customs inspectors and others whose jobs need to detect lies. In these studies, these people were not better at detecting lies than ordinary people. 36.What is the main idea expressed in the passage?A. Lying is actually a common phenomenon in social communication. B. People should feel ashamed of telling lies. C. Lies must be avoided, though nearly impossible. D. People are bad at detecting lies. 37.According to the passage, we can infer that _. A. people tend to claim that they do lie, but not out of ill intentions B. lying shouldnt have become a universal communication style C. college students are No. 1 liars. D. police officers, judges and customs inspectors are good at detecting lies 38.Which of the following is the most likely inference about the result of the public opinion polls on lying? A. College students are the most possible victim of lies. B. Half of the grown-ups asked in the polls never feel guilty of telling lies. C. Quite a few people feel lying, though unavoidable, is not a good behavior. D. Children are more likely to tell white lies.39.All the following statements are true except _. A. we lie differently to different types of peopleB. lies are far from easy to detect C. people are more likely to tell men lies about others than about themselves D. men tell fewer lies than women. 40.The word “detect” in the fourth line of the last paragraph is closest in the meaning to _.
