Question

【題目】It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.

Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and maths need not be taught in detail, either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.

Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Educationis to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and take an interest in the world.

I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.

【解析】

試題分析：好的教育為的是什么？過去人們單純地理解為找好的工作，為了一種固定的生活方式。但這并不完全。教育面面俱到，為的是讓人得到進(jìn)步和提高。工作所需要的教育時間很短，但塑造一個人就要很長時間。所以有好的生活是接受教育的重要理由，但絕不是主要的理由。

【1】D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文“In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. ”的描述可知，受教育程度幾乎為零的就極少有機(jī)會找到好工作。故應(yīng)選D。

【2】C判斷推理題。根據(jù)短文第二段“Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education.”的描述可知，一些人可能認(rèn)為一個人應(yīng)該用一生最好的時間來接受教育以作為謀生的手段。這可能是教育的最早的理由之一。故應(yīng)選C。

【3】D詞義猜測題。根據(jù)短文“It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human.”的描述可知，教育不但是教他去說、讀和寫，而且培養(yǎng)他的創(chuàng)新思想和其它能力，然后，使他成為一個智慧的人，以感恩的心享受人類的成就。因此說，教育是全面的。故應(yīng)選D。

【4】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文“Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of them take an interest in the world.”的描述可知，人們希望受過教育的人能聽好的音樂、讀好書、看劇，而且大多數(shù)人對這個世界很關(guān)心。故應(yīng)選B。

【5】A主旨大意題。根據(jù)短文“Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man.”的描述可知， 教育是全面的，主要是為了提高一個人。故應(yīng)選A。
