Upon the creation of the United States, one of the core concepts on which the hopes for the new democracy werepinned was the ideal that its citizens world be enlightened individuals with clearly articulated rights and the opportunity forindividual achievement and education It was believed that in a free nation where the power belongs to the people, thecommitment to education defines the progress ofthat democracy and is the catalyst for future progress This core value has notonly stood the test of time but has also grown in importance In this new information Era and international economy, education

is an increasingly vital commodity, a precursor of potential success and a driving force of change It is important to recognize,however, that we approach education today differently than in the past, partly because the kinds of jobs people had didn'trequire the kind of basic education and specialized training that is often required in the workforce today In the 1950s, forinstance, only 20 percent of American jobs were classified as professional, 20 percent as skilled, and 60 percent as unskilled Today, our world has changed The proportion of 'unskilled jobs has fallen to 20 percent, while skilled jobs now account for

at least 60 percent of the workforce Even more important, almost every job today increasingly requires a combination ofacademic knowledge and practical skills that require learning throughout a lifetime

II Read the passage below and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question

PLANET EARTH

The planet Earth is 4,600 million years old It is difficult for us to think about such an enormous length of time because

it has little meaning for us We can however, simplify the idea to make it more understandable We can compare the planetEarth to a person of forty-sfx years of age

Nothing is known about the first seven years of this person's life Very little information exists about the middle periodeither It was only at the age of forty-two that the Earth began to flower

Dinosaurs and great reptiles did not appear until one year ago when the planet was forty-five Mammals only arrivedeight months ago in the middle of last week, man-like apes became ape-like men and began to communicate with each other.Last weekend, the Ice Age covered the Earth

During that short time, modern man has made a rubbish tip of the Earth In one minute, he has increased his numbers

to terrible proportions, and has caused the death of hundreds of species of animals He has robbed and destroyed the planet insearch for fuels Now he stands like a violent, spoilt child, delighted at the speed of his rise to power, on the edge of the finalmass destruction and of killing all the life which exists in the solar system

46 The passage tells us that

A a great deal is known about how the Earth was created

B life on earth began relatively recently

C more is known about the first part of the Earth's life than the middle part

D scientists are well-informed about the middle'part of the Earth's life

47 We are informed by the author that

A the dinosaurs appeared during the middle period B mammals and great reptiles both appeared at the same time

48 The author is mainly interested in

A the time when man first evolved from apesB what has happened since the Industrial Revolution

C the effects of farmingD the period before the last Ice Age

49 It would appear that the main-danger ahead is that …

A man will destroy everything on Earth B man will use up all the fuels

C there will be a population explosion D more species of animal may die out

50 The author's general view of man seems to be that ……

A he has no right to be so destructive B he has been the most successful animal
