W: I don’t know if we want private schools,do we?
M: I don’t think so, but we’ll look at themanyway. There’s Saint Mary’s, that’s a Catholic school for girls, and CarltonAbbey— that’s a very old boys’ boarding school, founded in 1672.

M: Yes, it seems so.
W: I think little Keith is going to be verygood with his hands, we ought to send him to a school with good vocationaltraining—carpentry, electronics, that sort of thing.
M: In that case we are best off at EnderbyComprehensive. I gather they have excellent workshops and instructors. But itsays here that Donwell also has good facilities. Enderby High has a little, butthey are mostly academic. No vocational training at all at Carlton Abbey orSaint Mary’s.
W: What are the schools like academically? Howmany children go on to university every year?
M: Well, Enderby High is very good— andCarlton Abbey even better, 70% of their pupils go on to university. Donwellisn’t so good. Only 8%. And Enderby Comprehensive in Saint Mary’s not muchmore, about 10%.

Passage Two
Huang Yi works for a company that sellsfinancial software to small and medium size businesses. His job is to showcustomers how to use the new software. He spends two weeks with each client, demonstratingthe features and functions of the software. The first few months in the jobwere difficult. He often left the client feeling that even after two weeks hehadn’t been able to show the employees everything they needed to know. It’s notthat they weren’t interested; they obviously appreciated his instruction andshowed a desire to learn. Huang couldn’t figure out if the software wasdifficult for them to understand, or if he was not doing a good job ofteaching. During the next few months, Huang started to see some patterns.
He would get to a new client site and spendthe first week going over the software with the employees. He usually did thisin shifts, with different groups of employees listening to his lecture. Then hewould spend the next week in installing the program and helping individualstroubleshoot. Huang realized that during the week of troubleshooting andanswering questions, he ended up addressing the same issues over and over. Hewas annoyed because most of the individuals with whom he worked seem to haveretained very little information from the first week. They asked very basicquestions and often needed prompting from beginning to end. At first, hewondered if these people were just a little slow, but then he began to get thedistinct feeling that part of the problem might be his style presentinginformation.
Questions 19 to 22 are based on the passageyou have just heard.

Passage Three
As we help children get out into the world to do their learning well, wecan get more of the world into the schools. Aside from their parents, mostchildren never have any close contact with any adults except their teachers. Nowonder they have no idea what adult life or work is like. We need to bring morepeople who are not full-time teachers into the schools. In New York City, underthe teachers’ and writers’ collaborative, real writers come into the schools,read their works, and talk to the children about the problems of their crafts. Thechildren love it. In another school, a practicing attorney comes in every monthand talks to several classes about the law. Not the law that is in books, butthe law as he sees it and encounters it in his cases. And the children listenwith intense interest. Here’s something even easier: let children worktogether, help each other, learn from each other and each other’s mistakes. Wenow know from this experience of many schools that children are often the bestteachers of other children.
What’s more important, we know that whenthe fifth floor six-grader who is being having trouble with reading, startshelping a first grader, his own reading sharply improves. A number of schoolsare beginning to use what some call paired learning. This means that you letchildren form partnerships with other children. Do their work even includingtheir tests together and share whatever marks or results this work gets. Justlike grown-ups in the real world. It seems to work.
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passageyou have just heard.
Question 23
Why does the speaker say most children haveno idea what adult life is like?
Question 24
What is happening in New York City schools?
Question 25
What does the experience of many schoolsshow?
Section C
Directions: In this section, you will heara passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you shouldlisten carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the secondtime, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have justheard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should checkwhat you have written.
Now listen to the passage.
Tests may be the most unpopular part ofacademic life. Students hate them because they produce fear and anxiety aboutbeing evaluated, and focus on grades instead of learning for learning’s sake.
But tests are also valuable. Awell-constructed test identifies what you know and what you still need tolearn. Tests help you see how your performance compares to that of others. Andknowing that you’ll be tested on a body of material is certainly likely tomotivate you to learn the material more thoroughly.
However, there’s another reason you mightdislike tests: You may assume that tests have the power to define your worth asa person. If you do badly on a test, you may be tempted to believe that you’vereceived some fundamental information about yourself from the professor, informationthat says you’re a failure in some significant way.
This is a dangerous—andwrong-headed—assumption. If you do badly on a test, it doesn’t mean you are abad person or stupid. Or that you’ll never do better again, and that your lifeis ruined. If you don’t do well on a test, you’re the same person you werebefore you took the test — no better, no worse. You just did badly on a test.That’s it.
In short, tests are not a measure of yourvalue as an individual — they are a measure only of how well and how much youstudied. Tests are tools; they are indirect and imperfect measures of what weknow.
