Hu Min:   Thank you for talking to me today, Mr. Rivera．First of all, what is UNESCO?

Mr. Rivera: UNESCO stands for United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. It was founded on 16 November 1945, shortly after the United Nation was founded．Today, 191 nations are members of UNESCO.

Hu Min:  What does UNESCO do?

Mr. Rivera: Well, we are a kind of laboratory for new ideas. We imagine a better world and we encourage governments to carry out plans to improve their countries.

Hu Min:  From its name, it seems that UNESCO is concerned about many different things.

Mr. Rivera: You’re right. But I think our biggest concern is education. Our goal is free education for all children all over the world．We are especially concerned about educational opportunities for girls. UNESCO just started a program called GET EQUAL. By 2015, we want all girls to have equal access to education. We also want everyone to get training for jobs. And we want to help more adults learn how to read and write.

Hu Min:   How is UNESCO involved in culture?

Mr. Rivera: Probably our most important cultural program is World Heritage. We have chosen important natural and historic places in many countries that need protection. In fact, China has 30 World Heritage sites, including Mount Taishan, Mount Emei, Summer Palace and the tomb of the First Qin Emperor.

Hu Min:   Is UNESCO concerned about the environment?

Mr. Rivera: Of course! In 2005 ,we started a 10-year program called ‘Water for Life’. We want people everywhere to have enough clean water. So many children around the world die every year because they do not have clean water to drink. In some countries, women have to walk long distances to carry water to their homes.

Hu Min:  Well, time flies! It is as if we had only talked for a minute! Well, Mr. Rivera, it has been very interesting talking to you!

The National Outline for Medium and Long Term Education Reform and Development (2010 - 20) was released over the weekend. Here are some of the highlights:

Four – percent effort

The government says spending on education will be 4 percent of GDP by 2012. globally, average spending on education is about 4.5% of GDP. China spend 3,33% in 2008. according to Hu Angang, of Tsinghua University’s Center for China Studies, even if China reaches that goal, it will only rank about 100 th out of 188 countries.

Administrative rank

Administrative rankings for school leaders are to be phased out to tackle the bureaucracy (官僚機構(gòu)) problem that limits educational development, according to Cheng Fangping, of the national Institute for Educational Research. Areas like teaching programs, scientific research, and technological development will be more independent.

Vocational Education

The system will be free of charge. According to Wu Yan, of Beijing Institute of Educational Sciences, this will be key to developing China’s production capacity and will improve poor people’s lives dramatically.

Entering college

    Universities could eventually have the freedom to choose some of their own high school applicants. Normally, students are accepted based on the uniform national exam scores. Also, students who agree to go to a remote area could be admitted to university under special circumstances. The most likely change could come on the college entrance English test, which might be modeled on the IELTS or TOEFL. Students will be able to take it several times and pick their best score.

56．Which of the following is true in the future according to the passage?

      A．Applicants could take the IELTS or TOEFL instead of the college entrance English test.

       B．Colleges will be given the right to choose all of their own applicants.

       C．Vocational education will be party free to make people’s lives better.

       D．Applicants could sit for the college entrance English test more than once.

57．Which of the following words is closest in meaning to “uniform” in the last paragraph?

       A．formal      B．official     C．same D．united

58．We can learn from the passage even though our country spends 4% of GDP on education in 2012,          .

       A．there will still be 188 countries ahead of China in this aspect

       B．China will certainly overtake the global average spending on education

       C．there might be nearly 100 countries ahead of China in this aspect

       D．China will be the 100 th country to spend over the global average on education

59．From the third paragraph, we can infer that         .

      A．school leaders will have more freedom to manage the school

       B．schools will have more limits from the government

       C．School administrative rankings are to be strengthened to solve the bureaucracy problem

       D．schools and research centers will be fully independent from the government
