【題目】“Holding girls back from an education is robbing them of their dignity (尊嚴(yán)),” says Mariam, a teacher, in an interview with Action Press.

“I feel proud when I tell people that I’m from Swat in Pakistan, with its green and mountainous valley. But I don’t feel proud about the number of women and girls where I’m from who are still being unable to enjoy the right for an education.

“I have taught many students — including Malaya, the young education activist who was shot in the head as travelling to school in Pakistan after campaigning for girls’ education. Among them I see the dignity that education can offer. This is why I have long been devoted to teaching, and why I am doing what I can to make sure that all girls have the chance to go to school.

“At the Khushaal school and college in Mingora, many girls are prevented from going to school because of poverty and fights. However, the most common reasons for girls not attending classes are cultural. People fear that females will become too independent if educated. Instead, parents prefer to marry off girls early. Girls and young women are considered a financial burden if left dependent on their parents.”

“In the school where I have been teaching for over ten years, I have seen how this discrimination plays out. Parents regard an educated and independent female as being too clever for her own. Even if parents agree to give a girl an education, a limit is set to the number of years for her to attend classes and it is common for girls to make it through only primary school. This is why I have been working tirelessly to change these damaging views and cultural practices. These are crimes against humanity (人道),which I have no choice but to strongly accuse of.”

“Malala was right to fight for her education.” says Mariam, who will be in New York with UNESCO (聯(lián)合國(guó)教科文組織), delivering a speech calling for world leaders to make sure every child gets a chance to go to school.

【1】What does Mariam take pride in?

A. Her dignity from education.

B. Her lifelong devotion to teaching.

C. Her hometown with fantastic scenery.

D. Her experience as a speech maker.

【2】What is the major reason to prevent girls from going to school?

A. The constant fights across the country.

B. The lack of financial support for schooling.

C. The limited time allowed to attend classes.

D. The traditional views on females’ social role.

【3】What will Mariam appeal for in her speech?

A. Accusing of the shooting of the schoolgirl.

B. Sex balance among children of school age.

C. Equal access for boys and girls to education.

D. Independence of girls with a good education.

【4】Which of the following is true about Mariam？

A. Malala event motivated her to work years for children.

B. She spoke in favour of Malala’s action in the interview.

C. A press invited her to attend a conference in New York.

D. She started a campaign with Malala for females’ freedom.

【4】B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中最后一段的”Malata was right to fight for her education.” says Mariam.可知她在采訪中表示她將在聯(lián)合國(guó)教科文組織的會(huì)議上發(fā)表的演講表示支持Malala的行動(dòng)。故選B。

【題目】Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.

In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all whether rich or poor, clever or stupid, one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough: we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees; they refuse to do what they think “l(fā)ow” work; and in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor; we can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we would get terrible diseases in our towns.

In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we are educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability, and secondly, that we realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that it is very bad to be ashamed of one’s work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.

【1】The writer of this passage thinks that________.

A. free education for all probably leads to a perfect world

B. free education can solve all of the world’s problems

C. free education won’t help to solve social problems

D. all the social problems can’t be solved by free education

【2】The writer wants to prove that ___________.

A. a farmer is more important than a professor

B. our society needs all kinds of jobs

C. our society needs free education for all

D. people with university degrees earn more money

【3】According to the passage, ____________.

A. work with hands is low work

B. work with hands is dirty and shameful

C. work with hands is the most important

D. we can’t regard work with hands as low work

【4】The purpose of education is ___________.

A. to choose a system of education

B. to let everyone receive education

C. to prepare children for their future life

D. to prepare children for well-paid jobs
