In most lines of the following text, there is either a spelling or an punctuation error, for each numbered line 1- 15, write the correctly spelt word or show the correct punctuation in the space on the right. Some lines are correct. Indicate these lines with a tick (P). The first three lines are done for you as examples.

How Equal Are Woman, Really?

On the face of it, women in Britain haven’t done too badly over the passed thirty years. There has been a woman Prime Minister a woman has gone into

space, and women are ordained as priests. They have won the right to equal

pay with men for the same work inspite of the fact that they still earn only

80% of their male colleague’s salaries. They have even become professionals

in what have always been considered male sports, like football. But can it

really be said that equality of the sexes is fact rather than wishful thinking. The trouble begins at school, though equality shouldn’t be an issue in education since, acording to the Department of Education’s statistics, they do better than boys in exams at all levels. Nevertheless, they are at an immediate

disadvantage as soon as they apply for jobs and go out to work. Teachers believe its vital to overcome this by encouraging them to study subjects like

physics, which have been almost exclusively a male preserve. A peice of

research recently carried out at Reading University may explain why boys

succeed, weather or not they have better academic qualifications. It shows that they are willing to call out answers in class and risk making mistakes, whereas girls feel self conscious. This capacity to take the lead is why boys tend to make a better impresion at an interview for a business career, though they may not always prove to be the best choice thereafter.

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 they can participate in lifelike simulated experiences and 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. Yet, some of the older children attend school only once or twice weekly to get tutoriol 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 years; 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 online 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 invidual student and generate similar activities. It can also identify areas of weak achievement and produce special programs adjusted to the students’ needs.

Question 28: What is the topic of the passage?

A. Computer software will make sure students learn at home.

B. Students don’t have to go to school any more.

C. The effect of information technology on education.

D. Students can know about their weak aspects to focus.

Part 3: Read the passage below and choose the best answer for each question. (0,5pt)

These days we hear a lot of nonsense about the ‘great classless society’. The idea that the twentieth century is the age of the common man has become one of the great clichés of our time. The same old arguments are put forward in evidence. Here are some of them: monarchy as a system of government has been completely discredited. The monarchies that survive have been deprived of all political power. Inherited wealth has been savagely reduced by taxation and, in time, the great fortunes will disappear altogether. In a number of countries the victory has been complete. The people rule; the great millennium has become a political reality. But has it? Close examination doesn’t bear out the claim.

It is a fallacy to suppose that all men are equal and that society will be leveled out if you provide everybody with the same educational opportunities. (It is debatable whether you can ever provide everyone with the same educational opportunities, but that is another question.) The fact is that nature dispenses brains and ability with a total disregard for the principle of equality. The old rules of the jungle, ‘survival of the fittest’, and ‘might is right’ are still with us. The spread of education has destroyed the old class system and created a new one. Rewards are based on merit. For ‘aristocracy’ read ‘meritocracy’; in other respects, society remains unaltered: the class system is rigidly maintained.

Genuine ability, animal cunning, skill, the knack of seizing opportunities, all bring material rewards. And what is the first thing people do when they become rich? They use their wealth to secure the best possible opportunities for their children, to give them ‘a good start in life’. For all the lip service we pay to the idea of equality, we do not consider this wrong in the western world. Private schools which offer unfair advantages over state schools are not banned because one of the principles in a democracy is that people should be free to choose how they will educate their children. In this way, the new meritocracy can perpetuate itself to a certain extent: an able child from a wealthy home can succeed far more rapidly than his poorer counterpart. Wealth is also used indiscriminately to further political ends. It would be almost impossible to become the leader of a democracy without massive financial backing. Money is as powerful a weapon as ever it was.

In societies wholly dedicated to the principle of social equality, privileged private education is forbidden. But even here people are rewarded according to their abilities. In fact, so great is the need for skilled workers that the least able may be neglected. Bright children are carefully and expensively trained to become future rulers. In the end, all political ideologies boil down to the same thing: class divisions persist whether you are ruled by a feudal king or an educated peasant.

What’s in a dream?

Sometimes, after you wake up, you can’t stop thinking about a dream you had. But most of the time you forget your dreams very quickly or feel like you haven’t had any dreams. But you have. Most 15-year-olds have spent 15 months of their lives dreaming. But they only remember a few of their dreams.

Experts aren’t sure why we dream. But a lot of people think dreams show how we feel about things in our lives. All teens have to deal with similar things, like exam stress and hormones. So they often have similar dreams. For example they are flying over mountains and trees and feel very happy. This means that they are in control of their life and feel powerful. But if they find it difficult to fly, they feel powerless in real life and if there are things that get in their way, like trees or aeroplanes, there could be something that won’t let them do what they want.

Right

Wrong

Doesn’t say

1. 1. Very often we do not remember the dreams we have had at night.

2. 2. Sometimes it is better to forget quickly the dreams we have had.

3. 3. Some dreams can stay in our mind for some time.

4. 4. Experts think that dreaming is a way to deal with our daily problems.

5. 5. 15-year-olds dream more often because of their hormones.

6. 6. All 15-year-olds have the same sort of problems which means they often have the same sort of dreams.

7. 7. If you dream that you are flying this means you are very happy.

THE ELECTRONIC AGE

I recently learned how to use a computer and I have

many friends who they play computer games at

home. However, although recently I have begun to

worry that in nowadays we rely too much on electronic

gargets. Once before people managed to write and think

using their brains, but now many people have become so

accustomed to using machines so that they can’t do

anything without them. There are many people who they

depend on electronic gargets completely. For an instance,

many of my friends sit at home in the evening and watch

television and instead of going out to meet people.

I think that this makes everybody feel more lonely, even

Though they learn a lot about people all over the world.

Of course there are many electronic gargets that save us

times, though not all of them are really necessary. I am in

favour of some gargets, but I am against of having

everything in life depending on pushing a button.
