Ⅴ.阅读理解

A

In most developed countries the government provides free education for children because it realizes that educated citizens are useful to the country in their later life. Most countries also have private (私立的)education. This means that parents can pay to send their children to certain schools. People who agree with this system say that it gives parents a larger choice of schools. Other people think that private schools give the children who go to them an unfair advantage over other children.

At the age of three, many children go to nursery school. Two or three years later, they enter a primary school. At the age of 11 they go to a secondary school. Then they may have a chance of continuing their studies at a university or college.

Universities and colleges are places where some young people go to continue their education after leaving school. Most university students study one main subject, though they may also study a number of others. Teaching is usually by lectures, or by discussions between a lecturer and students.

Most students stay at university for three or four years. At the end of that, they take an examination. If they pass, they receive their Bachelor's degree, usually a BA, which is short for Bachelor of Arts, or a BS for Bachelor of Science. Some students study for several more years in order to get higher degree, such as a MA or a PhD.

Most university courses don't train students to do a certain job. Colleges, on the other hand, usually teach skills which enable students to follow a career(职业), such as clothing design, or business studies.

1．The passage mainly tells us ________.

A. something about the private schools in developed countries

B. how developed countries pay attention to education

C. some general information about education in developed countries

D. why education is important

答案与解析 C 文章讲述了发达国家的教育情况，包括公立学校、私立学校、幼儿园、小学、高中、大学等情况。C项最能概括文章主要内容。

2．Why do most developed countries provide free education to children?

A. Because the children don't have money to go to school.

B. Because the government want their citizens to be useful to the country.

C. Because education doesn't cost the country too much money.

D. Because there are not enough private schools.

答案与解析 B 文章第一句明确指出对孩子的免费义务教育会对他们以后的生活有好处。B项正确。

3．Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage?

A. All the university students study one subject.

B. After studying at the university for three or four years, all the students can get a Bachelor's degree.

C. Students usually receive a master's degree before receiving a Bachelor's degree.

D. Unlike university, colleges usually teach students some useful skills for a career.

Country people, they often laugh at simple country ways, but people don't laugh at country music. It is one of the most popular kinds of music in the United States today.

Perhaps it is so popular because it is about simple but strong human feelings and events — loves, sadness, good times and bad times. It tells real­life stories and sounds the way people really talk. As life becomes more and more complicated (复杂), it is good to hear music about ordinary people.

Country music, sometimes called country­western, comes from two kinds of music. One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States. The other is traditional cowboy music from the West. The singers usually play the guitars, and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars.

At first city people said country music was low class. It was popular mostly

in the South. But during World War Ⅱ， thousands of southerners went to the Northeast and Midwest to work in the factories. They took their music with them. Soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps in the South. They learned to like country music. Slowly it became popular all over the world.

Today country music is popular everywhere in the United States and Canada, in the small towns and in New York City, among black and white, and among educated and uneducated people. About 1,200 radio stations broadcast country music twenty­four hours a day. People sing it in their languages. The music that started with cowboys and poor farmers is now popular all over the world.
