26、ndary education in the United States have been provided by the Latin grammar school, the academy, and the public high school. The first of these was a colonial institution. It began in New England with the establishment in 1635 of the Boston Free Latin School. The curriculum（课程） consisted mainly of

27、the classical languages, and the purpose of this kind of school was the preparation of boys for college, where most of them would be fitted for the ministry.The academy began in the early 1750s with Benjamin Franklins school in Philadelphia, which later became the University of Pennsylvania. It exte

28、nded generally to about the middle nineteenth century, except in the southern states where the public high school was late in developing and where the academy continued to be a principal means of secondary education even after 1900.The academy was open to girls as well as to boys, and it provided a

29、wider curriculum than what the Latin grammar school had furnished. It was designed not only as a preparation for college but also for practical life in commercial and business activities. Although its wide educational values are evident and are recognized as important contributions to secondary educ

30、ation in this country, the academy has never been considered a public institution as the public high school has come to be.The public high school had its origin in Massachusetts in 1821 when the English Classical School was established in Boston. In 1827,the state enacted（制定）the first state wide pub

31、lic highschool law in the United States. By 1840,there were perhaps a dozen public high schools in Massachusetts and many in other eastern states by 1850,they could also be found in many other states. Just as the curriculum of the academy grew out of that of the Latin grammar school, the curriculum

32、of the public high school developed out of that of the academy. The public high school in the United States is a repudiation（推翻） of the aristocratic（贵族的）and selective principle of the European educational tradition. Since 1890,enrollments（ 入学）in secondary schools, mainly public high schools, have pr

33、actically doubled in this country every ten years.56According to the passage, which of the following sequences indicates the order in which the schools developed?ALatin grammar school, public high school, academy.BLatin grammar school, academy, public high school.CPublic high school, Latin grammar s

34、chool, academy.DPublic high school, academy, Latin grammar school.57It is the opinion of the author that the academy, compared with the public high school, was _.Aobviously academically betterBmore discriminatory in student selectionCcoeducationalDnot generally considered as a public institution58Th

35、e year 1827 marks the _.Aenactment of the first state wide public high school lawBfounding of the Latin Grammar School in BostonCestablishment of the English classical School in BostonDyear when Massachusetts made free public education compulsory after the eighth grade59One can probably infer from h

36、is article that “Latin grammar school” refers to _.Athe Boston Free Latin SchoolBall the elementary schools in the United StatesCschools which taught Latin, exclusive of all other subjectsDa number of schools which developed in New England60It is implied but not stated in the passage that _.AEuropea

37、n educational systems are not goodBAs high schools developed in the united states, the decision was made to make them responsible to people from all classes of society.CThere was an aristocratic and selective principle in the European educational traditionDpublic high schools in the United States em

38、braced the European educational traditionBIn the eighteenthcentury one of the first modern economists, Adam Smith, thought that the “whole annual produce of the land and labour of every country” provided revenue to “three different orders of people: those who live by rent, those who live by wages, a

39、nd those who live by profit”. Each successive stage of the industrial revolution, however, made the social structure more complicated.Many intermediate groups grew up during the nineteenth century between the upper middle class and the working class. There were smallscale industrialists as well as l

40、arge ones, small shopkeepers and tradesmen, officials and salaried employees, skilled and unskilled workers, and professional men such as doctors and teachers. Farmers and peasants continued in all countries as independent groups.During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries the possession of

41、wealth inevitably affected a persons social position. Intelligent industrialists with initiative made fortunes by their wits which lifted them into an economic group far higher than that of their workingclass parents. But they lacked social training of the upper class, who despised them as the “new

42、rich.”They often sent their sons and daughters to special school to acquire social training. Here their children, mixed with the children of the upper classes, were accepted by them, and very often found marriage partners from among them. In the same way, a thrifty, hardworking labourer, though not

43、clever himself, might save for his son enough to pay for an extended secondary school education in the hope that he would move in a “white collar” occupation, carrying with it a higher salary and a move up in the social scale.In the twentieth century the increased taxation of higher incomes, the gro

44、wth of the social services, and the wider development of educational opportunity have considerably altered the social outlook. The upper classes no longer are the sole, or even the main possessors of wealth, power and education, though inherited social position still carries considerable prestige.61

45、What criterion did Adam Smith seem to go by in his classification of social groups?AThe amount of wealthBThe amount of moneyCThe social statusDThe way of getting money62If you compare the first and second paragraph, what groups of people did Adam Smith leave out in his classification?AOfficials and

46、employees.BPeasants and farmers.CDoctors and teachers.DTradesmen and landlords.63Who were the new rich during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries?AThey were still the upper class people.BThey were owners of large factories.CThey were intelligent industrialists.DThey were skilled workers who

47、 made their fortune.64According to the passage, what did those people do who intended to make their children move up in the social ladder?AThey saved a lot of money for their children to receive higher education.BThey tried to find marriage partners from the children of the upper class.CThey made gr

48、eater fortunes by their wits.DThey worked even harder to acquire social training.65In the twentieth century class differences have been partly smoothed out by _.Aincreased income and decreased taxationBtaxation, social services and educational opportunitiesCeducation, the increase of income and indu

49、strial developmentDthe decrease of the upper class populationCAttitudes differed to small errors of grammar and usage, or inappropriateness of vocabulary and idiom, with the native speakers finding such errors a little irksome（令人厌烦的），though sometimes amusing, while the Chinese panel members paid har

50、dly any attention to such errors as, for example, misuse of phrasal verbs and similar usages: “When I saw the job description, I decided to apply the position.” “I expect to find out a lot of challenge in the job.” “I can deal the emergency situations efficiently.”Errors of idiom or appropriateness

51、caused more comment, during the post interview discussion, from the native speakers than from the Chinese panel members, on whom the errors were sometimes lost. For example, one candidate, when asked what salary he expected, replied: “I dont care about it.” The message was clear enough, namely that

52、he was primarily interested in the job, but the formulation of the message was not quite right. Even such ribticklers（笑话）as “I am a well planned person .”and “I would like to expose myself in another field”（both actually heard at interviews） tended to cause lipbiting among the expatriate rather than

53、 the Chinese interviewers.Panels with two Chinese and one expatriate used to be more common, but are becoming less common. The reason is that with more of the interview now being conducted in Chinese, the non Chinese speaker does not know what has already been asked and is liable to repeat in Englis

54、h questions that have already been covered in Chinese. This caused, naturally enough, confusion in the interviewee and can adversely affect the whole interview.The sensible procedure would seem to be to open the interview in the mother tongue of the candidates, to put them at their ease, then at a l

55、ater stage turn to English, to test English proficiency. In practice, however, possibly because of the problem mentioned in the previous paragraph when the panel contains a foreigner, it is often the reverse, with a few, fairly standard, opening questions in English, and if these are successfully an

56、swered, then the job interview properly gets underway in Cantonese.One of the worst interview scenarios（方案）is when a foreigner who thinks she/he can speak Cantonese （but does so, in fact, badly） decides to question the interviewee in Cantonese. In other circumstances of a social nature the interviewee would no doubt politely compliment the foreigner on his or her good Cantonese, but in the seriousness of a job interview situation, the Chinese is confused and slightly emb
