EDUCATION IN THE FUTURE
Education is another area of social life in which information technology is changing the way we
communicate. Today's college students may not simply sit in a lecture or a library to learn about their
field. Through their computers and the wonders of virtual reality theycan participate in lifelike simulated
experiences. Consider the following scenario of the future of education made possible through
developments in information technology.

For children over the age of 10, daily attendance at schools is not compulsory. Some of the older children
attend school only once or twice weekly to get tutorial support or instruction from a teacher. For the most
part, pupils are encouraged to work online from home. Students must complete a minimum number of
study hours per year; however, they may make up these hours by studying at home at times that suit their
family schedule. They can log on early or late in the day and even join live classes in other countries. In
order to ensure that each student is learning adequately, computer software will automatically monitor the
number of hours a week each student studies on-line as well as that students' learning materials and
assessment activities. Reports will be available for parents and teachers. The software can then identify
the best learning activities and condition for each individual student and generate similar activities. It can
also identify areas of weak achievement and produce special programs adjusted to the students' needs.

Question 14: What is the topic of the passage?

A. The effect of information technology on education
B. Students don't have to go to school any more
C. Computer software will make sure students learn at home
D. Students can know about their weak aspects to focus.
Question 15: How many times are children who are older than 10 required to go to school weekly?
A. no time B. once or twice C. three D. four
Question 16: The word encouraged in the passage mostly means_________.
A.discouraged B. emboldened C.allowed D. banned
Question 17: The word “they” in last sentence of paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A.students B. study hours C.children D. older children
Question 18: Who/What counts the number of hours per week that students spend learning?
A.virtual reality B. teacher C. parents D. computer software

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
There was a book with bed-and-breakfast places in it amongst the guidebooks and maps on the back seat
of my aunt's car and we found somewhere to stay in there. It was a big, old farmhouse down the end of a
track, in a dip. There were three cows in the nearest field, sheep up on a ridge, hens in the yard, a few
sheds and barns standing around, and a rosy-cheeked farmers wife. After a day driving round, I was really
impressed with the place initially, thinking we'd finally found the true countryside. Now my aunt could
write whatever she was supposed to write about it, and we could both relax and go home.

But when I suggested that, she just said she wasn't expected to write about accommodation. Then, when
we got talking to the woman, the place wasn't quite what it seemed anyway. The only field that went with
the farmhouse was the one beside the track, with the cows in it, the rest belonged to a farm over the hill.
The barns were rented to another farmer and the woman came from the city and was married to a
travelling salesman. From close to, you could see the colour in her cheeks came out of a jar marked
'blusher'. The hens were hers, though. She'd been a professional bed-and-breakfast lady for three years,
she said, and this was the worst season ever, and, yes, we could have separate rooms, two of each if we
liked.

Perhaps she and her husband spent all their money on winter holidays, or perhaps they just didn't have
any, but they certainly didn't spend a lot on the house. The bedrooms were huge and they hardly had any
furniture in them - just a double bed in each, one of those wardrobes with hangers on one side and shelves
down the other, and a wooden chair. There was a dangling light cord over each bed, which worked the
centre light, but no bedside lamp.

I could tell that my aunt wasn't knocked out by it because she whispered to me, 'All very
clean, isn't it?' which is what Mum says about a place when she can't find anything else good. 'Well there
isn't much to get dirty,' I whispered back. But the woman, Mrs Vosper, obviously assumed we'd stay, so
we did. She asked if we were on holiday, and I listened with interest to my aunt's answer. I don't think I
really understood at that point what she was doing, and it had got a bit late to ask her myself. I was
supposed to know. But all she said was: 'Touring around, taking a bit of a break.' So that didn't help me
much.

I picked a room that looked out over the field of cows. I don't think I realised how damp it was until it
was time to go to bed. There was a distinctly musty smell in the air, and when I looked closely at the
wallpaper I could see that in places it was coming away from the walls. My Mum and her sister are not a
bit alike. I knew Mum would never let me sleep in a damp room. I wasn't sure what damp was supposed
to do to you, but I knew it wasn't good.

When I got into bed, I didn't feel very sleepy. My aunt had given me a copy of the magazine she was
working for, so I had a look at that. It was called Holiday UK and the cover 'London' printed across one
corner and a colour picture of horses in a park. There was a great long article by my aunt inside, which
went on for about six pages, with lots of photographs, and each one had her name up the side of it. But
there were also adverts for hotels and restaurants and shops, along with a couple of pages listing places to
eat, theatres, cinemas, that sort of stuff. Also it was free, so I realised it couldn't be up to much. Still, I
knew they must somehow have enough money to pay her, or they couldn't send her rushing around the
countryside like this.
