world cant receive good educationthe key to human development.However,technology offers an answer which allows the poor in developing countries to learn.It is a tool which holds the ability to change the lives of the poor,as it provides a means of learning and communicating.Educational programmes must break away from old systems.New companies such as One Laptop(笔记本电脑)Per Child(OLPC),an organisation founded by MIT Professor Nicholas Negroponte have been active in solving the worlds education problem.The Internet has changed the world,allowing educational services to help with the global fight against poverty.Khan Academy is one such service.Like OLPC,it is an organisation founded by Harvard Business School graduate Salman Khan with the task of providing “a free,world-class education to anyone,anywhere”.The education offered includes a large number of math-related topics.The GMAT Pill Review is another company that trains MBA candidates(应考人)worldwide to prepare for the GMAT exam on both the Quant and Verbal section.Founded by Stanford graduate Zeke Lee,the company offers services which are priced at about 75% less than other similar programmes.It allows students from developing countries who might not be able to afford similar courses to have access to these services.Whether paid or free these services provide educational opportunities to those who would never have had the chance in the past.As a result of the technology revolution(革新),business schools may see more students from different corners of the world.Because of the Internet,people in developing nations have access to better and more affordable educational opportunities.More and more people will try to improve their lives through educational opportunities outside of their homelandan idea usually uncommon in developing countries.24.According to the text,technology can .A.improve peoples reading abilityB.solve the problems faced by the whole worldC.help the poor to reduce povertyD.cause poverty in developing countries答案C解析细节理解题。根据第一段的“Itisatoolwhichholdstheabilitytochangethelivesofthepoor,asitprovidesameansoflearningandcommunicating.”可知,由于科技提供学习和交流的方法,所以它是能够改变穷人命运的工具。25.We can learn from the text that Khan Academy aims to .A.help the poor pay for good coursesB.provide every child with a computerC.help train MBA candidatesD.make everyone receive good education答案D解析细节理解题。根据第三段的“KhanAcademyisonesuchservice.LikeOLPC,itisanorganisationfoundedbyHarvardBusinessSchoolgraduateSalmanKhanwiththetaskofprovidingafree,world-classeducationtoanyone,anywhere.”可知,该组织的目的是使每一个人都能接受世界一流的教育。26.In the past,people in developing countries .A.had no educational opportunities in their homelandB.seldom thought of receiving foreign education to change themselvesC.always believed education was of great importanceD.wouldnt leave their homeland to reduce poverty答案B解析推理判断题。由最后一段的“Moreandmorepeoplewilltrytoimprovetheirlivesthrougheducationalopportunitiesoutsideoftheirhomelandanideausuallyuncommonindevelopingcountries.”可知,现在越来越多的人通过本国之外的教育机会来改善他们的生活,过去这在发展中国家是不常见的。由此可以推断出,过去发展中国家的人们很少想到通过接受国外的教育来改变自己的命运。27.Why did the author write the text?A.To introduce some organisations in developed countries to help developing countries by technology.B.To explain why education and technology revolution are very important to developing countries.C.To describe relationships between developed countries and developing countries.D.To show how educational programmes in developed countries are started.答案A解析写作意图题。该文主要介绍了发达国家的几个组织,它们通过科技手段帮助发展中国家的人们接受教育,故A项作为写作目的最合适。CFor many years the school system in Finland has been very successful.In the PISA survey,which compares reading,math and science knowledge of 15-year-olds around the world,Finland is not only the top European country but also competes with Asian giants like Singapore and South Korea.But what makes the educational system in this small country so different from others in the western world?Until the 1960s Finlands school system had been influenced largely by its neighbour.Most students left school after six years;some went on to private schools.Only the wealthy ones got a better education.In the middle of the 1960s the Finnish government saw the need to change and modernize their education system if they wanted to be internationally competitive.Lawmakers made a simple decision:a basic school for all the 7- to 16-year-olds.Compulsory(义务的) education begins at 7.The government makes it possible for all children to attend preschool as well.Most of Finlands schools get their money from the government.The people who are in charge of the education system from teachers to officials are trained teachers,not politicians like in other countries.Teachers work with their pupils in school as much as possible.When teachers are not with the pupils,they spend a lot of time in schools working on the curriculum(课程) and new projects.Schools in Finland are small,at least for international standards.So teachers know every pupil in their school and try everything to succeed with their pupils.That is why dropout rates are low compared to other countries.In contrast to other nations,teachers in Finland are highly respected.Finland selects its teachers very carefully:only talented students who go on to a university and receive a masters degree in education can be selected as teachers.Finland only takes the best to educate its youth.All Finnish children,whether they come from the city or the country,whether from a rich or poor family,have the same chances in education.There are not so many differences between the wealthy and the poor,as in America or other western European countries.Education experts say that there is very little difference between very good and the worst students.Two thirds of Finnish pupils move on to higher education,the highest rate in the European Union.28.The teachers in Finland .A.receive special training quite oftenB.devote lots of time to their workC.try their best to help the dropoutsD.pay more attention to talented students答案B解析细节理解题。由第四段中的“Teachersworkwiththeirpupilsinschoolasmuchaspossible.Whenteachersarenotwiththepupils,theyspendalotoftimeinschoolsworkingonthecurriculumandnewprojects.”可知,芬兰的教师在工作上投入了大量的时间。29.We can learn from the text that .A.the children in Finland are educated equallyB.the children in Finland attend preschool at the age of sixC.the school system in Finland is better than that in SingaporeD.the school equipment in Finland doesnt meet international standards答案A解析细节理解题。由第五段中的“AllFinnishchildren,whethertheycomefromthecityorthecountry,whetherfromarichorpoorfamily,havethesamechancesineducation.”可知芬兰的孩子受教育的机会均等。30.Which of the following best shows the structure of the text?答案D解析逻辑结构题。文章为总分结构,第一段提到芬兰的教育体制很成功,接下来的几段分别从教育体制变革、学校状况、师资、学生受教育机会等方面进行论述。31.What can be the best title for the text?A.What Differences European Schools HaveB.What Good Schools Provide Students WithC.Why Finlands School System Is SuccessfulD.Why Finlands School System Has Changed答案C解析主旨大意题。文章开头提出芬兰的教育体制很成功,接下来分析成功的原因,因此以WhyFinlandsSchoolSystemIsSuccessful作为文章的标题最合适。DYoung children are trusting commercial advertisements in the media,and advertisers have sometimes been accused of taking advantage of this trusting outlook.The Independent Television Commission,regulator of television advertising,has criticised advertisers for “misleadingness”,in an effort to control advertisers use of techniques that make it difficult for children to judge the true size,action,performance,or construction of a toy.Fantasy is one of the common techniques in advertising that could mislead young audience.In childrens advertising,advertisers are more likely to include fantasy than advertisements aimed at adults.In a content analysis of Canadian television,the author Stephen Kline observed that nearly all commercials for character toys featured fantasy play.Children have strong imaginations and the use of fantasy brings their ideas to life,but children may not be adept enough to realise that what they are viewing is unreal.Fantasy situations
