Each of the passages is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each question there are four choices mar
22、ked A, B, C and D. Decide on the best choice according to the passage you read and write your choice.Passage 1 The relationship between formal education and economic growth in poor countries is widely misunderstood by economists and politicians alike progress in both area is undoubtedly necessary fo
23、r the social, political and intellectual development of these and all other societies, however, the conventional view that education should be one of the very highest priorities for promoting rapid economic development in poor countries is wrong. We are fortunate that is it, because new educational
24、systems there and putting enough people through them to improve economic performance would require two or three generations. The findings of a research institution have consistently shown that workers in all countries can be trained on the job to achieve radical higher productivity and, as a result,
25、 radically higher standards of living. Ironically, the first evidence for this idea appeared in the United States. Not long ago, with the country entering a recessing and Japan at its pre-bubble peak. The U. S. workforce was derided as poorly educated and one of primary cause of the poor U. S. econo
26、mic performance. Japan was, and remains, the global leader in automotive-assembly productivity. Yet the research revealed that the U. S. factories of Honda Nissan, and Toyota achieved about 95 percent of the productivity of their Japanese counterparts a result of the training that U. S. workers rece
27、ived on the job. More recently, while examing housing construction, the researchers discovered that illiterate, non-English-speaking Mexican workers in Houston, Texas, consistently met best-practice labor productivity standards despite the complexity of the building industrys work. What is the real
28、relationship between education and economic development? We have to suspect that continuing economic growth promotes the development of education even when governments dont force it. After ail, thats how education got started. When our ancestors were hunters and gatherers 10, 000 years ago, they did
29、nt have time to wonder much about anything besides finding food. only when humanity began to get its food in a more productive way was there time for other things. As education improved, humanitys productivity potential, they could in turn afford more education. This increasingly high level of educa
30、tion is probably a necessary, but not a sufficient, condition for the complex political systems required by advanced economic performance. Thus poor countries might not be able to escape their poverty traps without political changes that may be possible only with broader formal education. A lack of
31、formal education, however, doesnt constrain the ability of the developing worlds workforce to substantially improve productivity to the forested future. on the contrary, constraints on improving productivity explain why education isnt developing more quickly there than it is. 71. The author holds in
32、 paragraph 1 that the important of education in poor countries _ _. A. is subject groundless doubts B. has fallen victim of bias C. is conventional downgraded D. has been overestimated 72. It is stated in paragraph 1 that construction of a new education system _ . A. challenges economists and politi
33、cians B. takes efforts of gene rations C. demands priority from the government D. requires sufficient labor force 73. A major difference between the Japanese and U. S. workforces is that _ . A. the Japanese workforce is better disciplined B. the Japanese workforce is more productive C. the U. S. wor
34、kforce has a better education D. the U. S. workforce is more organize 74. The author quotes the example of our ancestors to show that education emerged _ . A. when people had enough time B. prior to better ways of finding food C. when people on longer went hung D. as a result of pressure on governme
35、nt 75. According to the last paragraph, development of education _ . A. results directly from competitive environments B. does not depend on economic performance C. follows improved productivity D. cannot afford political changesPassage 2 The most thoroughly studied in the history of the new world a
36、re the ministers and political leaders of seventeenth-century New England. According to the standard history of American philosophy, nowhere else in colonial America was So much important attached to intellectual pursuits. According to many books and articles, New Englands leaders established the ba
37、sic themes and preoccupations of an unfolding, dominant Puritan tradition in American intellectual life. To take this approach to the New Englanders normally mean to start with the Puritans theological innovations and their distinctive ideas about the church-important subjects that we may not neglec
38、t But in keeping with our examination of southern intellectual life, we may consider the original Puritans as carders of European culture adjusting to New world circumstances. The New England colonies were the scenes of important episodes in the pursuit of widely understood ideals of civility and vi
39、rtuosity. The early setters of Massachusetts Bay included men of impressive education and influence in England. Besides the ninety or so learned ministers who came to Massachusetts church in the decade after 1629, There were political leaders like john Winthrop, an educated gentleman, lawyer, and of
40、ficial of the Crown before he journeyed to Boston. There men wrote and published extensively, reaching both New World and Old World audiences, and giving New England an atmosphere of intellectual earnestness. We should not forget, however, that most New Englanders were less well educated. While few
41、crafts men or farmers, let alone dependents and servants, left literary compositions to be analyzed, The in thinking often had a traditional superstitions quality. A tailor named John Dane, who emigrated in the late 1630s, left an account of his reasons for leaving England that is filled with signs
42、sexual confusion, economic frustrations, and religious hope-all name together in a decisive moment when he opened the Bible, told his father the first line he saw would settle his fate, and read the magical words: come out from among them, touch no unclean thing, and I will be your God and you shall
43、 be my people. one wonders what Dane thought of the careful sermons explaining the Bible that he heard in puritan churched. Mean while, many settles had slighter religious commitments than Danes, as one clergyman learned in confronting folk along the coast who mocked that they had not come to the Ne
44、w world for religion. Our main end was to catch fish. 76. The author notes that in the seventeenth-century New England _ . A. Puritan tradition dominated political life. B. intellectual interests were encouraged. C. Politics benefited much from intellectual endeavors. D. intellectual pursuits enjoye
45、d a liberal environment. 77. It is suggested in paragraph 2 that New Englanders _ . A. experienced a comparatively peaceful early history B. brought with them the culture of the Old World C. paid little attention to southern intellectual life D. were obsessed with religious innovations 78.
