Further education is officially described as the“post-secondary stage of education， comprising all vocational(職業(yè)的) and non-vocational provision made for young people who have left school， or for adults”. Further education thus embraces the vast range of university， technical， commercial， and art education and the wide field of adult education. It is this sector of education， which is concerned with education beyond the normal school-leaving ages of 16 or 18， that has experienced the most astonishing growth in the number of students.

In the 19th century the dominance(統(tǒng)治地位) of Oxford and Cambridge was challenged by the rise of the civic(城市的) universities， such as London， Manchester， and Birmingham. Following the lead of the 18th century German universities and responding to a public demand for increased opportunity for higher education， Britain’s new civic universities quickly acquired recognition—not only in technological fields but also in the fine and liberal arts.

Many new post-school technical colleges were founded in the early 20th century. The Fisher Act of 1918 empowered the local authorities to levy(征收) a rate (tax) to finance such colleges. The universities， on the other hand， received funds from the central government through the University Grants Committee， established in 1911 and recognized in 1920， after World War I.

A new type of technical college was established in the 1960s—the polytechnic， which provides mainly technological courses of university level as well as courses of a general kind in the arts and sciences. Polytechnics are chartered to award degrees validated(使有效) by a Council for National Academic Awards.

Thus， the third level in the United Kingdom is made up of colleges of further education， technical colleges， polytechnics， and universities. The colleges offer full-time and part-time courses beyond compulsory-school level. Polytechnics and universities are mainly responsible for degrees and research. The innovative Open University， with its flexible admission policy and study arrangements， opened in 1971. It uses various media to provide highly accessible and flexible higher education for working adults and other part-time students. It serves as an organizational model and provides course-materials for similar institutions in other countries.

Changes in British education in the second half of the 20th century have， without changing the basic values in the system， extended education by population， level， and content. New areas for expansion include immigrant cultural groups and multicultural content， the accommodation of special needs， and the development of tools and content in the expanding fields of microelectronics.

The first paragraph is written to explain 　　　　 of further education.

A.the development  B.the history

C.the definition     D.the prospects(前景)

The new civic universities in Britain 　　　　.

A.replaced the dominance of Oxford and Cambridge

B.provided further education for all the people who need it

C.met the increased demand of the public for higher education

D.immediately followed the establishment of polytechnic colleges

Post-school technical colleges 　　　　.

A.were completely free of charge

B.were usually financed by local taxes 

C.depended mainly on students’ tuition(學(xué)費(fèi))

D.received funds from the central government

Further education is 　　　　.

A.only for adult students

B.part-time rather than full-time

C.non-vocational rather than vocational

D.created for both young people and adults

The proper title for this passage should be “　　　　”.

A.British Further Education

B.Changes in British Education                  

C.Polytechnics and Universities in Britain

D.Less Opportunity for Higher Education

On the high-speed train Avignon to Paris, my husband and I landed in the only remaining seats on the train, in the middle of a car, directly opposite a Frenchwoman of middle years. It was an extremely uncomfortable arrangement to be looking straight into the eyes of a stranger. My husband and I pulled out books. The woman produced a large makeup case and made up her face. Except for a lunch break, she continued this activity for the entire three-hour trip. Every once in a while she surveyed the car with a bright-eyed glance, but never once did she catch my eye. My husband and I could have been a blanket wall.

I was amused, but some people would have felt uncomfortable , even repulsed(厭惡的）.there is something about making up in public that calls up strong emotional reactions. Partly it’s a question of hygiene. And it’s a matter of degree. Making up --- a private act--- has a way of neglecting the presence of others. I was once seated at a party with a model-actress who immediately waved a silly brush and began dusting her face at the table, demonstrating that while she was next to me, she was not with me.

In fact, I am generally prohibited from making up in public, except when I am in the company of cosmetics moment. In a gathering more professional than social, I would do so.

Kathy Peiss, a history professor at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst says that nose-powdering in the office was an occasion for outrage in 1920’s and 30’s. Deploring the practice as a waste of company time, trade journals advises managers to discourage it among workers. Peiss theorizes that it was female’s making up in what has been an all-male field that disturb some gentlemen.

Peiss tells me that after the 30’s , pulling out a make-up case was no longer an issue. It became an accepted practice. I asked if she feels free to apply lipstick at a professional lunch herself. Sounding mildly shocked, she says she would save that for the privacy of her car afterward. Why? Because it would be “a gesture of inappropriate feminity(女性化）.” One guess is that most professional women feel this way. There is evidence of the popularity of the new lipsticks that remain in place all day without retouching.

1.According to the author, “My husband and I could have been a blanket wall.” (Line 6, Para.1) most probably means “________”.

A. We were treated with an expressionless face.????

B. We looked at the French woman expressionlessly

C. We used books as a wall to avoid the woman’s eyes

D. We were of no existence in the French woman’s eyes

2.In the author’s opinion, she _______.

A. allows public making up on certain occasions

B. feels comfortable when making up in public

C. only makes up on social occasions

D. makes up before any professional gatherings

3.According to Peiss, nose powdering in an office was criticized mainly for the reason that ____.

A. normal office work was disturbed??????

B. it discouraged women’s interest in career

C. make dominance was emphasized there??

D. it distracted make workers’ focus on work

4.Why do most professional women give up using lipsticks in public?

A. Because they are worried about being looked down upon

B. Because it emphasizes their female features in wrong situations

C. Because it implies women’s disadvantages in academic fields

D. Because they are ashamed to be seen making up in front of males/

5.It can be inferred that in a highly open society, the differences between men and women ______.

A. have attracted little attention??????

B. hinder the social development

C. are attractive topics in talk shows???

D. still call for great concern
