Part V. READING
Exercise
9. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
One
way of training for your future occupation in Germany is by pursuing a dual
vocational training programme. Such programmes offer plenty of opportunity for
on-the-job training and work experience. Programmes usually last between two
and three and a half years and comprise theoretical as well as practical
elements. You will spend one or two days a week, or several weeks at once, at a
vocational school where you will acquire the theoretical knowledge that you
will need in your future occupation. The rest of the time will be spent at a
company. There you get to apply your newly acquired knowledge in practice, for
example by learning to operate machinery. You will get to know what your
company does, learn how it operates
and find out if you can see yourself working there after completing your
training.
This
combination of theory and practice gives you a real head start into your job:
by the time you have completed your training, you will not only have the
required technical knowledge, but you will also have hands-on experience in your job. There are around 350 officially
recognised training programmes in Germany, so chances are good that one of them
will suit your interests and talents. You can find out which one that might be
by visiting one of the jobs and vocational training fairs which are organised
in many German cities at different times in the year.
Employment
prospects for students who have completed a dual vocational training programme
are very good. This is one of the reasons why this kind of training is very
popular with young Germans: around two thirds of all students leaving school go
on to start a vocational training programme.
106.
Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?
A.
Employment Opportunities and Prospects in Germany
B.
Higher Education System in Germany
C. Dual Vocational Training System in
Germany
D. Combination of Theory
and Practice in Studying in Germany
107.
The word "it" in the first
paragraph refers to ____.
A. company B.
machinery C. knowledge D.
organisation
108.
Which of the following statements best describes the dual vocational training programmes?
A.
These programmes consist of an intensive theoretical course of two and a half years at a
vocational school.
B.
These programmes require you to have only practical working time at a certain company.
C.
These programmes offer you some necessary technical skills to do your future job.
D. These programmes provide you with
both theoretical knowledge and practical working experience.
109.
The word "hands-on” in the
second paragraph is closest in meaning to ____.
A.
theoretical B.
practical C. technical D.
integral
110.
How many German school leavers choose this vocational training programme?
A.
well over 75% B.
around one out of five
C.
less than a third D. about 70%
Exercise
10. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate
the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Do
you think education is better now than it was in your grandparents' time? Many
older people in the UK believe the opposite. “Schools were better in our day,”
they complain. “There isn't enough discipline these days. Kids don't work as
hard as we did, either. The syllabus isn't as challenging, so clever students
aren't being stretched enough. They need to study things in greater depth.
Exams are much, much easier now as well.”
Were
schools better years ago? Some British teenagers travelled back in time to a
1950s boarding school. They got a big surprise! The first shock came when the
teenagers met their new teachers. Dressed in traditional black gowns, they look
so frosty and uncaring! They were really authoritarian,
too, so anyone caught breaking the rules - talking in classes, mucking about in
the playground or playing truant – was in big trouble! Punishments included
writing 'lines' or staying after class to do detention. The naughtiest kids
were expelled.
Things
were just as bad after class. At meal times the students had to endure a diet
of plain, no-nonsense, healthy food. Homework was obligatory and it took ages! Copying essays off the Internet wasn't
an option, as personal computers didn't exist in the 1950s!
At
the end of 'term' everyone sat 1950s-style exams. The old exams were much longer than their
twenty-first century equivalents and involved learning huge amounts of facts by
heart. History papers were all dates and battles. Maths papers were trickier,
too; calculators weren't around in the 1950s, so the students had to memorise
multiplication tables and master long division. Our candidates found this
really difficult.
The
exam results surprised a lot of people. Students predicted to do well in their
real-life, twenty-first century exams often got low grades in the 1950s exams.
Does this prove modern exams are too easy? Do twenty-first century kids rely
too much on modern technology, like calculators and computers?
The
TV series of That 'll teach 'em!
focused on a 1960s vocational school. UK school-kids study a range of academic
subjects these days. But in the 1960s, children judged to be less ‘able' went to vocational
schools. These helped them learn job
skills. Boys studied subjects like metalwork, woodwork or gardening. In some
classes, they even learned how to milk goats! The girls' timetables included
secretarial skills. They also learned to cook, clean and sew - probably not
much fun for most girls.
111.
What criticism is sometimes made about modern education in the first paragraph?
A. Teachers aren't strict enough.
B.
The syllabus is out of date.
C.
There's too much stress on exams.
D.
The teaching methods are not good enough.
112.
The word "authoritarian” in the
second paragraph is closest in meaning to
____.
A.
inexperienced B. impolite C.
unreasonable D. strict
113.
Which of the following statements is TRUE about the food the students ate at school?
A.
It wasn't cooked properly. B. It wasn't delicious.
C.
It wasn't nutritious. D.
There wasn't much of it.
114.
The word "obligatory” in the
third paragraph is closest in meaning to ____.
A. compulsory B.
difficult C. long D.
complicated
115.
According to the passage, how did exams in the 1950s differ from those in the
twenty-first century?
A
They covered more subjects. B.
It took students less time to do them.
C. There was more to remember. D.
They were less difficult.
116.
What was surprising about the students' results after taking the 1950s-style
exams?
A.
All the students found the exams difficult.
B. Students didn't do as well as
expected.
C.
Students who were predicted to fail did rather well.
D.
Students did better than twenty-first century exams.
117.
The word “these” in the last
paragraph refers to ____.
A.
school-kids B. subjects C.
series D. vocational schools
118.

A.
