A rather surprising geographical feature of Antarctica is that a huge freshwater lake, one of

the world's largest and deepest, lies hidden there under four kilometers of ice Now known as Lake

Vostok, this huge body of water is located under the ice block that comprises Antarctica The lake is able to exist in its unfrozen state beneath this block of ice because its waters are warmed by geothermal heat from the earth's core The thick glacier above Lake Vostok actually insulates it from the frigid temperatures on the surface

The lake was first discovered in the 1970s while a research team was conducting an aerial survey of the area Radio waves from the survey equipment penetrated the ice and revealed a body of water of indeterminate size It was not until much more recently that data collected by satellite made scientists aware of the tremendous size of the lake; the satellite-borne radar detected an extremely flat region where the ice remains level because it is floating on the water of the lake

The discovery of such a huge freshwater lake trapped under Antarctica is of interest to the

scientific community because of the potential that the lake contains ancient microbes that have

survived for thousands upon thousands of years, unaffected by factors such as nuclear fallout and elevated ultraviolet light that have affected organisms in more exposed areas The downside of the discovery, however, lies in the difficulty of conducting research on the lake in such a harsh climate and in the problems associated with obtaining uncontaminated samples from the lake without actually exposing the lake to contamination Scientists are looking for possible ways to accomplish this

Question 23: What is true of Lake Vostok?

A It is completely frozen B It is a saltwater lake

C It is beneath a thick slab of ice D It is heated by the sun

Question 24: All of the following are true about the 1970 survey of Antarctica EXCEPT that it

C could not determine the lake's exact size D was controlled by a satellite

Question 25: It can be inferred from the passage that the ice would not be flat if

A there were no lake underneath B the lake were not so big

C Antarctica were not so cold D radio waves were not used

Question 26: The word "microbes" in paragraph 3 could best be replaced by which of the

following?

A Pieces of dust B Tiny bubbles C Tiny organisms D Rays of light

Question 27: Lake Vostok is potentially important to scientists because it

A can be studied using radio waves B may contain uncontaminated microbes

C may have elevated levels of ultraviolet light D has already been contaminated

Question 28: The last paragraph suggests that scientists should be aware of

A further discoveries on the surface of Antarctica B problems with satellite-borne radar

equipment

C ways to study Lake Vostok without contaminating it D the harsh climate of Antarctica

Question 29: The purpose of the passage is to

A explain how Lake Vostok was discovered B provide satellite data concerning

Antarctica

C discuss future plans for Lake Vostok D present an unexpected aspect of Antarctica's geography

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, c, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 30 to 37

Pollution emitted in industrial areas represents a threat to human health and the surrounding natural resources We have a tendency to believe that the production processes are the only source

of environmental damage, and often forget about the possible long-term effects of harmful

production practices We may think that the closure of these huge industrial areas would improve the quality of the environment Unfortunately, this ignores the threat of the remaining waste, which

is abandoned and poorly stored It represents an even bigger danger because it stands neglected as it

degrades and leaks into the earth without any control at all

Changes in the water chemistry due to surface water contamination can affect all levels of an ecosystem It can affect the health of lower food chain organisms and, consequently, the availability

of food up through the food chain It can damage the health of wetlands and damage their ability to support healthy ecosystems, control flooding, and filter pollutants from storm water runoff The health of animals and humans are affected when they drink or bathe in contaminated water In addition water-based organisms, like fish and shellfish, can pile up and concentrate contaminants in their bodies When other animals or humans eat these organisms, they receive a much higher dose of contaminant than they would have if they had been directly exposed to the original contamination Contaminated groundwater can badly affect animals, plants and humans if it is removed from the ground by manmade or natural processes Depending on the study of rocks of the area,

groundwater may rise to the surface through springs or seeps, flow sideways into nearby rivers, streams, or ponds, or sink deeper into the earth In many parts of fhe world, groundwater is pumped out of the ground to be used for drinking, bathing, other household uses, agriculture, and industry Contaminants in the soil can harm plants when they take up the contamination through their roots Eating, breathing in, or touching contaminated soil, as well as eating plants or animals that have piled up soil contaminants can badly affect the health of humans and animals

Air pollution can cause breathing-related problems and other bad health effects as

contaminants are absorbed from the lungs into other parts of the body Certain air contaminants can

also harm animals and humans when they contact the skin Plants rely on breathing for their growth and can also be affected by exposure to contaminants moved in the air

Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C or D on your answer sheet to indicate

the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks

A trend that has emerged recently is the sharing of childcare (38) between husband and wife Young couples will try to arrange their work schedules so that they work

opposite hours or shifts in order that one parent is always home with the children Since childcare is expensive, this saves money for the young couple trying to establish themselves and provide a secure environment for the family Husband and wife may also share household chores Some

fathers are just as capable as mothers at cooking dinner, changing and bathing the baby, and doing the laundry

In some cases, the woman’s salary is for family (39) and the father becomes the

“househusband." These cases are still fairly rare One positive trend, however, is that fathers seem to

be spending more time with their children In a recent survey, 41% of the children sampled said they spend equal time with their mothers and fathers “This is one of our most significant cultural changes,” says Dr Leon Hoffman, who co-directs the

Parent Child Center at the New York Psychoanalytic Society In practice, for over 30 years, Hoffman has found "a very dramatic difference in the involvement of the father in everything from care-taking to general decision (40) around kids' lives.”

Another factor has recently been added to the childcare formula The number of people who work from home nearly full-time rose 23% from the last decade The (41) _ of technology - computers, faxes, teleconferencing - has made it easier for at-home workers to be constantly in touch Will this new flexibility in the workforce bring a positive change for the (42) of children?

IN ONE CUBIC FOOT

In any environment- forest, mountain, or water- you always see the big animals first: birds, mammals, fish But under your feet, on land or in the water, there are many smaller

organisms: insects, tiny plants, miniature sea creatures They seem unimportant, but, in fact,

these sea creatures and ground dwellers are “ the heart of life on the Earth”, says naturalist E.O Wilson Without them, our world would change dramatically

Most organisms on the Earth live on the ground or just below it Here, they are not part of

an important cycle Plants and animals fall to the ground when they die Later, tiny insects and other organisms break down the dead plant and animal material This process eventually returns nutrients to the soil and gives plants energy Plants can then help to maintain a healthy environment for humans and other animals

Despite their importance, scientists know very little about most ground organisms To

learn more, photographer David Liittschwager went to different place around the world, including a forest, a river, a mountain, and a coral reef In each place, he put a green 12-inch cube on the ground or in the water Then he and his team counted and photographed the organisms that lived in or moved through the cube Often they discovered hundreds, some only a

millimeter in size “It was like finding little gems.” he says In the coral reef in French

Polynesia, he saw thousands of creatures in the cube and photographed 600 The team identified

as many as possible, but it was difficult Many of the animals they found were new species

Question 38 Another title of the passge could be _

A Dangers to Ground Creatures B The Importance of Tiny Organisms

C Saving Small Animals in Cubes D The Life of Nutrients

D they did some experiments with the organisms

Question 42 Why was it difficult to identify the creatures at the coral reef?

A Many were new to science B.The water was cloudy

C They were too small D Many of them looked the same

Learning means acquiring knowledge or developing the ability to perform new behaviours It is common to think of learning as something that takes place in school, but much

Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study of learning is important in many different fields Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human- service workers need to understand how certain experiences change people’s behaviours Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of learning to influence the behavior of workers, voters and consumers

Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain Psychologists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this

storage takes place, and how the brain later retrieves knowledge when we need it In contrast,

psychologists who study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a person’s experiences

There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex Simple forms of learning involve a single stimulus A stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight, sound, smell, tough, or taste In a form of learning known as classical conditioning, people learn to associate two stimuli that occur in sequence, such as lightning followed by thumder In operant conditioning, people learn by forming an association between a behavior and its consequences (reward or punishment) People and animals can also learn by observation-that is,

by watching others perform behaviors More complex forms of learning include learning languages, concepts, and motor skills

Question 43 According to the passage, which of the following is learning in broad view

comprised of?

A Acquisition of social and behavioural skills

B Knowledge acquisition and ability development

C Acquisition of academic knowledge

D Knowledge acquisition outside the classroom

Question 44 The word “retrieves” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to

A.generates B recovers C creates D gains

Question 45 Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A Psychologists studying memory are concerned with how the stored knowledge is used

B Psychologists studying memory are concerned with the brain’s storage of knowledge

C Psychologists are all interested in memory as much as behaviours

D Psychologists studying are interested in human behaviours

Question 46 According to the passage, what are children NOT usually taught outside the

classroom?

A Literacy and calculation B Life skills

C Interpersonal communication D Right from wrong

6

Question 47 According to the passage, the study of learning is important in many fields due to

_

A.the great influence of the on-going learning process

B.the influence of various behaviours in the learning process

C the exploration of the best teaching methods

D the need for certain experiences in various areas

Question 48 It can be inferred from the passage that social workers, employers, and politicians

concern themselves with the study of learning because they need to

A.change the behaviours of the objects of their interest towards learning

B.make the objects of their interest more aware of the importance of learning

C understand how a stimulus relates to the senses of the objects of their interest

D thoroughly understand the behaviours of the objects of their interest

Question 49 Which of the following can be inferred about the learning process from the

passage?

A.It is more interesting and effective in school than that in life

B It becomes less challenging and complicated when people grow older

C It plays a crucial part in improving the learner’s motivation in school

D It takes place more frequently in real life than in academic institutions

Question 50 The passage mainly discuss _

A.simple forms of learning

B practical examples of learning inside the classroom

C application of learning principles to formal education

D general principles of learning

IN ONE CUBIC FOOT

In any environment- forest, mountain, or water- you always see the big animals first: birds, mammals, fish But under your feet, on land or in the water, there are many smaller

organisms: insects, tiny plants, miniature sea creatures They seem unimportant, but, in fact,

these sea creatures and ground dwellers are “ the heart of life on the Earth”, says naturalist E.O Wilson Without them, our world would change dramatically

Most organisms on the Earth live on the ground or just below it Here, they are not part of

an important cycle Plants and animals fall to the ground when they die Later, tiny insects and other organisms break down the dead plant and animal material This process eventually returns nutrients to the soil and gives plants energy Plants can then help to maintain a healthy environment for humans and other animals

Despite their importance, scientists know very little about most ground organisms To

learn more, photographer David Liittschwager went to different place around the world, including a forest, a river, a mountain, and a coral reef In each place, he put a green 12-inch cube on the ground or in the water Then he and his team counted and photographed the organisms that lived in or moved through the cube Often they discovered hundreds, some only a

millimeter in size “It was like finding little gems.” he says In the coral reef in French

Polynesia, he saw thousands of creatures in the cube and photographed 600 The team identified

as many as possible, but it was difficult Many of the animals they found were new species

Question 38. Another title of the passge could be _

A Dangers to Ground Creatures B The Importance of Tiny Organisms

C Saving Small Animals in Cubes D The Life of Nutrients

Question 39 The word “miniature” in paragraph 1 means _

A.very small B very large C very beautiful D very important

A.scientists B ground organisms C cubes D nutrients

Question 41. All of the followings are true about Liittschwager and his team EXCEPT that

A they went to various places in the world

B they discovered numberous organisms in small sizes

C the examined cubes by putting them on the ground or in the water

D they did some experiments with the organisms

Question 42. Why was it difficult to identify the creatures at the coral reef?

A Many were new to science B.The water was cloudy

C They were too small D Many of them looked the same

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50

Learning means acquiring knowledge or developing the ability to perform new behaviours It is common to think of learning as something that takes place in school, but much

Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study of learning is important in many different fields Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human- service workers need to understand how certain experiences change people’s behaviours Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of learning to influence the behavior of workers, voters and consumers

Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain Psychologists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this

storage takes place, and how the brain later retrieves knowledge when we need it In contrast,

psychologists who study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a person’s experiences

There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex Simple forms of learning involve a single stimulus A stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight, sound, smell, tough, or taste In a form of learning known as classical conditioning, people learn to associate two stimuli that occur in sequence, such as lightning followed by thumder In operant conditioning, people learn by forming an association between a behavior and its consequences (reward or punishment) People and animals can also learn by observation-that is,

by watching others perform behaviors More complex forms of learning include learning languages, concepts, and motor skills

Question 43 According to the passage, which of the following is learning in broad view

comprised of?

A Acquisition of social and behavioural skills

B Knowledge acquisition and ability development

C Acquisition of academic knowledge

D Knowledge acquisition outside the classroom

Question 44 The word “retrieves” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to

A.generates B recovers C creates D gains

Question 45 Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A Psychologists studying memory are concerned with how the stored knowledge is used

B Psychologists studying memory are concerned with the brain’s storage of knowledge

C Psychologists are all interested in memory as much as behaviours

D Psychologists studying are interested in human behaviours

Question 46 According to the passage, what are children NOT usually taught outside the

classroom?

A Literacy and calculation B Life skills

C Interpersonal communication D Right from wrong

6

Question 47 According to the passage, the study of learning is important in many fields due to

_

A.the great influence of the on-going learning process

B.the influence of various behaviours in the learning process

C the exploration of the best teaching methods

D the need for certain experiences in various areas

Question 48 It can be inferred from the passage that social workers, employers, and politicians

concern themselves with the study of learning because they need to

A.change the behaviours of the objects of their interest towards learning

B.make the objects of their interest more aware of the importance of learning

C understand how a stimulus relates to the senses of the objects of their interest

D thoroughly understand the behaviours of the objects of their interest

Question 49 Which of the following can be inferred about the learning process from the

passage?

A.It is more interesting and effective in school than that in life

B It becomes less challenging and complicated when people grow older

C It plays a crucial part in improving the learner’s motivation in school

D It takes place more frequently in real life than in academic institutions

Question 50 The passage mainly discuss _

A.simple forms of learning

B practical examples of learning inside the classroom

C application of learning principles to formal education

D general principles of learning

From 1940 to 1956, a man called George Metesky set off bombs in places like movie theatres and train stations all over New York City A psychiatrist named James A Brussel was called in by the

police to help He used crime scene photos and others from the bomber to profile the criminal doing the bombings He assured the police that the man was middle-aged, unmarried, and a skilled mechanic from Connecticut

This was an example of criminal profiling Profiling is used when a criminal's identity is unknown Based on profiling, a psychological sketch of the person is created This sketch helps the police more easily find him or her It Is an essential tool for the police trying to solve major crimes Profiling has been used for a long time to help the police

Profilers are not police officers They are experts who create criminal profiles for the police They use the crime scene evidence and psychology to write about the suspect They can't tell who the person is, but they can tell the police what kind of person to look for To be a profiler, one needs a degree in psychology, criminal justice, or behavioral science Profilers sometimes work in police departments and

sometimes they are independent workers

Profiling is especially effective in cases of repeated crimes, like serial killers The profile tells the

police what the killer may act like It also tells the police what kind of person the killer may target next and where it might happen That way, the police can prevent further crimes Profilers can learn a lot about a criminal's habits from the evidence they leave behind

All of this is impressive, but not everyone agrees with profiling Some say it's just a guessing game It may not always work, but profiling methods have improved over time Today's profilers are much better than previous profilers They can create better profiles thanks to decades of knowledge and experience Even if their information isn't perfect, it's still a great help to the police

museum where the art and the building are part of one person's private collection Gardner was a collector of art who acquired many pieces on her travels to Europe She eventually opened her museum

to the public so she could share her art with the world

Two thieves disguised as police officers knocked on the museum's door late at night on St Patrick's

Day Because of the holiday, there were festivities all over the city The "police officers" told the two

guards that there was a problem outside Once inside, one of the "police officers" looked at the guards

"I have an arrest warrant for you," he said That's when he put handcuffs on the guards

The thieves stole art from all over the museum During the robbery, they set off an alarm when they tried to take a Rembrandt off a wall, but they quickly smashed it The thieves finally left the museum 81 minutes later with their stolen art The stolen art included The storm on the Sea of Galilœ by Rembrandt, Landscape with an Obelisk by Flinck, La Sortie de Pesage by Degas, and The Concert by Vermeer The next morning, workers found the art gone and the guards still tied up They immediately called in the police and an investigation began

Some called the robbery "dumb" because paintings are notoriously hard to sell, but others claimed the thieves were very professional They weren't art experts and had likely been paid to steal the art Today, the art has still not been found Empty frames hang where the paintings were They are reminders of

Species that belong to an area are said to be native species Typically, they have been part of a given biological landscape for a long period, and they are well adapted to the local environment and to the presence of other native species in the same general habitat Exotic species are interlopers, foreign elements introduced intentionally or accidentally into new settings through human activities In one context an introduced species may cause no obvious problems and may, over time, be regarded as being just as "natural" as any native species in the same habitat In another context, exotics may seriously disrupt delicate ecological balances and create a cascade

of unintended consequences The worst of these unintended consequences arise when introduced species put native species in destruction by preying on them, altering their habitats, or out-competing them in the struggle for food resources Although biological introductions have affected environments the world over, the most destructive, effects have occurred on islands, where introduced insects, cats, pigs, rats, mongooses, and other nonnative species have caused the grave endangerment or outright extinction of literally hundreds of species during the past 500 years

One of other reason to cause species extinction is overexploitation This word refers to the utilization of a species at a rate that is likely to cause its extreme endangerment or outright extinction Among many examples of severe overexploitation, the case of the great whales stands out in special relief By the middle of the 20th century, unrestricted whaling had brought many species of whales to incredibly low population sizes In response

to public pressure, in 1982 a number of nations, including the USA, agreed to an international moratorium on whaling As a direct result, some whale species which are thought to have been on extinction's doorstep 25 years ago have made amazing comebacks, such as grey whales in the western Pacific Others remain at great risk Many other species, however, continue to suffer high rates of exploitation because of the trade in animal parts Currently, the demand for animal parts is centered in several parts of Asia where there is a strong market for traditional medicines made from items like tiger bone and rhino horn

The goal of Internet-based encyclopedia Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org) is to give everyone on the planet access to information Like other encyclopedias, Wikipedia contains lots of information: more than 2.5 million articles in 200 different languages covering just about every subject Unlike other encyclopedias, however,

Wikepedia is not written by experts, but by ordinary people These writers are not paid and their names are not

published They contribute to Wikipedia simply because they want to share their knowledge

Encyclopedias began in ancient times as collections of writings about all aspects of human knowledge

The word itself comes from ancient Greek, and means “a complete general education” Real popularity for

encyclopedias came in the nineteenth century in Europe and the United States, with the publication of encyclopedias written for ordinary readers With the invention of the CD-ROM, the same amount of information could be put on a few computer discs Then with the Internet, it became possible to create an online encyclopedia that could be constantly updated, like Microsoft’s Encarta However, even Internet-based encyclopedias like

Encarta were written by paid experts At first, Wikipedia, the brainchild of Jimmy Wales, a businessman in

Chicago, was not so different from these In 2001, he had the idea for an Internet-based encyclopedia that would provide information quickly and easily to everyone Furthermore, that information would be available free, unlike other Internet encyclopedias at that time

But Wales, like everyone else, believed that people with special knowledge were needed to write the

articles, and so he began by hiring experts He soon changed his approach, however, as it took them a long time

to finish their work He decided to open up the encyclopedia in a radical new way, so that everyone would have access not only to the information, but also to the process of putting this information online To do this, he used what is known as “Wiki” software (from the Hawaiian word for “fast”), which allows users to create or alter content on web page The system is very simple: When you open the web site, you can simply search for information or you can log on to become a writer or editor of articles If you find an article that interests you – about your hometown, for example – you can correct it or expand it This process goes on until no one is interested in making any more changes

Question 41: Wikipedia is a(n)

A book B journal C article D dictionary

Question 42: Wikipedia is written by

A paid written B millionaires C normal people D world experts

Question 43: The phrase “these writers” in the first paragraph refers to

A ordinary readers B ordinary people C encyclopedia experts D every subject

Question 44: The phrase “the word” in the second paragraph refers to

A knowledge B encyclopedia C writing D collection

Question 45: Microsoft’s Encarta is cited in the passage as an example of

C online encyclopedia D updateable online encyclopedia

Question 46: The word “brainchild” in the second paragraph of the passage can be best replaced by

5

Question 47: The word “approach” in the third paragraph of the passage means

Question 48: The user of Wikipedia can do all of the following EXCEPT

A have access to information B determinate the website

Question 49: We can say that Jimmy Wales

A became very famous after the formation of Wikipedia B is the father of Wikipedia

C made a great profit from Wikipedia D decides who can use Wikipedia

The East Asia and Pacific region has seven ( 31) the top 10 performing education systems in the world, with schools in Việt Nam and China showing (32) _ progress, according to a new World Bank report released on Thursday

Up to 40 per cent of them attend schools in (33) systems whose students are ahead of the average students in OECD (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development) countries These schools are not only in wealthy countries such as Singapore, Korea and Japan (34) also in middle-income countries such as China and Việt Nam, according to the report As the report highlights, students’ performance is not necessarily tied to a country’s income level By age 10, for example, the average Vietnamese student outperforms all but the top students in India, Peru and Ethiopia

(35) key finding of the report is that across the region, household incomes do not necessarily determine children’s educational success In Việt Nam and China, for example, students from poorer households do as well, if not better, in both math and science, as average students in OECD countries

The Winterthur Museum is a collection and a house There are many museums devoted to the

decorative arts and many house museums, but rarely in the United States is a great collection displayed in a great country house Passing through successive generations of a single family, Winterthur has been a private estate for more than a century Even after the extensive renovations made to it between 1929 and 1931, the house remained a family residence This fact is of importance

to the atmosphere and effect of the museum The impression of a lived-in house is apparent to the visitor; the rooms look as if they were vacated only a short while ago ― whether by the original owners of the furniture of the most recent residents of the house can be a matter of personal interpretation Winterthur remains, then, a house in which a collection of furniture and architectural

elements has been assembled Like an English country house, it is an organic structure; the house, as

well as the collection and manner of displaying it to the visitor, has changed over the years The changes have coincided with developing concepts of the American arts, increased knowledge on the part of collectors and students, and a progression toward the achievement of a historical effect in period-room displays The rooms at Winterthur have followed this current, yet still retained the character of a private house

The concept of a period room as a display technique has developed gradually over the years in

an effort to present works of art in a context that would show them to greater effect and would give them more meaning for the viewer Comparable to the habitat group in a natural history museum, the period room represents the decorative arts in a lively and interesting manner and provides an opportunity to assemble objects related by style, date, or place of manufacture

Question 36: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A The reason that Winterthur was redesigned

B Elements that make Winterthur an unusual museum

C How Winterthur compares to English country houses

D Historical furniture contained in Winterthur

Question 37: The phrase “devoted to” in line 1 is closest in meaning to

A surrounded by

B specializing in

C successful with

D sentimental about

Question 38: What happened at Winterthur between 1929 and 1931?

A The owners moved out

B The house was repaired

C The old furniture was replaced

D The estate became a museum

Question 39: The word “assembled” in line 10 is closest in meaning to

Question 42: What is the relationship between the two paragraphs in the passage?

A The second paragraph explains a term that was mentioned in the first paragraph

B Each paragraph describes a different approach to the display of objects in a museum

C The second paragraph of explains a philosophy art appreciation that contrasts with the philosophy explained in the first paragraph

D Each paragraph describes a different historical period

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50

It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get an education

Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school The

distinction between schooling and education implied by this remark is important

Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling Education knows no bounds It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in a kitchen or on a

tractor It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning The agents of education can range from a revered grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist Whereas schooling has a

certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions People are engaged in

education from infancy on Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term It is a lifelong process, a

process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be an integral part of one's

entire life

Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take

exams, and so on The slices of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an

understanding of the workings of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject being taught

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 the newest filmmakers are experimenting with

There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling

Question 43: What does the author probably mean by using the expression “children interrupt their

education to go to school” (lines 2)?

A Going to several different schools is educationally beneficial

B School vacations interrupt the continuity of the school year

C Summer school makes the school year too long

D All of life is an education

Question 44: The word “bounds” in line 5 is closest in meaning to

A rules

B experience

C limits

D exceptions

Question 45: “A chance conversation with a stranger” means

A An unplanned conversation with a stranger

B An unusual conversation with a stranger

C A lengthy conversation with a stranger

D A lively conversation with a stranger

Question 46: The word “an integral” in line 12 is closest in meaning to
