【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng), 其中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。
Ireland now has one of the best education systems in the world. Class sizes are small, exam results are good and most children are happy to stay at school after the minimum(最低的) leaving age of sixteen.
For years, Ireland had one of the most complicated(復(fù)雜的) education systems in the world. Classes were large and the teaching was very traditional. As in many countries, teachers used to hit the children if they made mistakes. Fortunately, the punishment was not allowed in 1982.
As a result, there were schools for the rich and schools for the poor. Boys and girls went to different schools. Nowadays, most schools are free and only about half the schools are either for girls or boys. Girls do better than boys in their exams; more girls go to university and most teachers are women.
At the end of secondary school, students take their final exams. Compulsory(必修的)subjects are maths, Irish and English. Some of these, like business organization, help to prepare them for the world of work. This is very different from the past when Latin and Greek used to be the most important subjects.
A. In many ways, education is now a woman's world.
B. Parents used to pay for their children's education.
C. In addition, they must choose two or three extra subjects.
D. Public schools in Ireland are not run by the government.
E. It is easy to forget that the picture used to be very different.
F. Here, children do not learn any subjects but some basic skills.
G. There were many different kinds of school, but most of them had a lot in common.

【答案】E;G;B;A;C
【解析】本文是說(shuō)明文。文章介紹了愛(ài)爾蘭的教育。

(1)E項(xiàng)承上啟下:上文介紹了愛(ài)爾蘭教育的現(xiàn)狀,下一段介紹了愛(ài)爾蘭過(guò)去的教育情況。第一、二段的時(shí)態(tài)以及兩段中的Class sizes are small和Classes werelarge對(duì)比明顯。故選E。

(2)G項(xiàng)中的many different kindsof school和had a lot in common分別和上一句中的one of the most complicated education systems和下一句Classes were large and the teaching was very traditional相呼應(yīng)。故選G。

(3)B 下句的As a result表明上下兩句是因果關(guān)系;教育是自費(fèi)的,因此學(xué)校才會(huì)有貧富差別,有適合富人的,也有適合窮人的。故選B。

(4)A下一句是對(duì)A項(xiàng)的解釋說(shuō)明。A項(xiàng)中的a woman's world和下一句中的Girls dobetter ... more girls go to university and most teachers are women相呼應(yīng)。故選A。

(5)C C項(xiàng)中的extra subjects和上一句中的Compulsory subjects構(gòu)成對(duì)比。下一句中的businessorganization是對(duì)extra subjects的舉例說(shuō)明。故選C。

Ways to Have an Amazing Day
I am a big believer in the Law of the Harvest: we harvest what we sow. If we plant the seeds of success every day, we will get a successful harvest.
Try new things
So many of life's great experience wait just on the other side of our fears or our comfort zone. When the opportunity to try something new comes up, ask yourself, “Why not?” Don't miss out on the great moments that are waiting all around you every day!
Keep learning
When we were kids it seemed that every day had something new that we had not experienced before. That is why young children will ask their parents “Why?” about a thousand times a week. A lifetime of learning leads to a love for life.
Be kind
It has been said that you can measure a person by how he treats the people who can do nothing for him. How often do you stop to talk to the people you meet with every day?One great way to get more out of your day is to fill it with people you know. And take a moment to learn a little about them.
Find a purpose
It may be to run a marathon, write a book, start a business, develop a product, or learn a new hobby or profession.
A. Have one or more big “l(fā)ife goals”.
B. If we don't plant enough, we cannot have a good harvest.
C. We are learning and growing.
D. You have to make the most of every day in life.
E. Provide meaningful services for other people in any situation.
F. Many of the great moments in life are linked to new experiences.
G. The best way to know more people is to be kind to everyone you meet.

Apart from my mother, I've been very lucky to having had two teachers who have been fundamental influences in my life. The first was my first piano teacher. She really got me interesting in the piano and made a huge impression in me at a very early age. She helped me to learn the basic techniques and develop understanding of the instrument. Then, when I was 16, I start studying with my second inspirational teachers. He made me much more confident and encouraged me to enter for competitions even when I felt certain and unconfident about doing this. He had enormous faith in us, and it was this, more than anything else, which inspired me to make music my career.
