一、阅读理解
Passage 1
In Finland,a country consistently topping global education rankings,the road to success looks
remarkably different from the high-pressure,test-driven systems found elsewhere.The atmosphere in a
Finnish classroom is notably relaxed.Students typically have short school days,long breaks,and minimal
homework.There are no standardized tests until the end of high school.The core philosophy is to foster a
love for leaming,not a fear of failure.
Teachers in Finland are highly respected and rigorously trained.Only the top 10%of university graduates
are accepted into teacher education programs,which are research-based and last five years.This
autonomy and expertise allow teachers to design their own curricula and assessment methods.They are
given the freedom to tailor their teaching to the needs of their students,rather than being bound by a
national curriculum or pressured to teach to the test."
This unconventional approach sparks a heated debate among educators worldwide.Critics question its
feasibility in diverse and competitive societies like China,where the academic pressure is intense and the
stakes for university entrance exams are incredibly high.They argue that while the Finnish model sounds
idealistic,it may not prepare students for the rigors of competitive environments.They wory that a lack
of extemnal pressure could lead to complacency,preventing students from developing the discipline
needed to master challenging subjects.
However,advocates of the Finnish model point out that it doesn't neglect academic excellence.Instead,it
pursues a different kind of excellence.The focus is on deep understanding,critical thinking,and problem-
solving,rather than rote memorization.The ultimate goal is to educate well-rounded individuals who are
confident in their identity and capable of pursuing their passions.For them,the true measure of
educational success is not a test score but a lifelong love of leaming and the ability to think creatively.
()1.The main purpose of Paragraph 1 is to
A.explain the structure of the Finnish education system
B.contrast Finland's education system with others
C.introduce the unique features of Finnish education
D.argue for the importance of standardized tests
()2.The word"autonomy"in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to
A.independence
B.qualification
C.authority
D.responsibility
()3.What is a major concem critics have about the Finnish model?
A.It may make students addicted to long breaks.
B.It may prevent students from developing self-discipline.
C.Teachers might not have enough academic knowledge
D.Students might not pursue their own interests.
()4.What do advocates of the Finnish model primarily value in education?
A.High scores in competitive exams.
B.The ability to follow a strict procedure
C.A passion for learning and creative thinking.
D.Mastering a wide range ofknowledge quickly.
Passage 2
The debate over the purpose ofeducation is as old as formal schooling itself.Is it a pipeline,designed to
prepare students for the workforce and signal their competence to employers?Or is it a joumey,meant to
cultivate the whole person and build a foundation for a meaningful life?The answer is not simple,and the
"road to education"is rarely a straight line.
In many societies,the dominant view is that education is a signal.A diploma from a top university signals
to the business world that a candidate is intelligent,disciplined,and capable.This belief system drives
students to pursue high grades and prestigious institutions.The phrase"academic performance"becomes
a proxy for one's future potential.This pressure can be so intense that students become aware of the high
stakes from a very young age,leading to anxiety and burnout.
However,this signal-based model is increasingly being challenged.The rapid pace of technological
change means that half of what a student learns in their first year of university might be outdated by the
time they graduate.This reality signals that the true value of education lies not in the specific facts
memorized,but in the ability to learn,unleam,and releam.The focus is shifting from what to think to
how to think.
This shift supports a more "human-centered"approach to education.This path prioritizes developing soft
skills like communication,empathy,and teamwork,alongside hard skills.It encourages students to pursue
multiple interests-to master a musical instrument,debate in a public forum,or write a short story.This
approach aims to signal to the world not just a student's academic ability,but their unique identity,their
character,and their potential for growth.For individual students,the key is to summarize their own
strengths and find the unique road that combines their passions with their practical skills.
()1.What does the pipeline"view of education emphasize?
A.Preparing students for employment.
B.Nurturing students'character.
C.Helping students find their passion.
D.Promoting lifelong leamning.
()2.According to the passage,what is a major downside of the"signal"model?
A.It leads to students focusing too much on procedures
B.It causes unnecessary stress and mental exhaustion.
C.It fails to signal students'intelligence to employers.
D.It prevents students from pursuing prestigious institutions
()3.Why is the signal-based model being challenged?
A.Because employers no longer value university degrees
B.Because the knowledge students acquire can quickly become irelevant.
C.Because students are not disciplined enough to master skills
D.Because it encourages students to pursue too many interests
()4.What does the author suggest students should do when choosing their educational path?
A.Follow the most competitive and prestigious route
B.Prioritize mastering academic knowledge.
C.Combine their interests with useful abilities.
D.Focus on communicating their skills to employers.
()5.The author's attitude towards the'human-centered"approach is best described as.
A.critical
B.objective
C.supportive
D.skeptical
二、完形填空
I was 17 when I first decided to leave school.It wasn't because I was 1
to trouble or that I
couldn't handle the academic work.I simply felt 2
of what the teachers were selling.They
talked about a future that seemed 3
and about a procedure called"life"that needed to be
followed,but I wanted a different road.
My father was a carpenter.He 4 a skill-the ability to transform a rough piece of wood into a
thing of beauty and function.He had his own business,a small workshop where he 5
his craft.
His life was not defined by a diploma but by the proud identity of being a"maker."I wanted that,too.
So I became his apprentice.For the first few months,I was not 6
of what I was missing.I
loved the smell of sawdust and the feel of a smooth,finished surface.We would often debate over coffee
about the best way to build a joint,not out of anger,but as a master and a student.The work was hard.It
was not a cure for teenage boredom;it was a way to build something real.
But as I approached my 20th birthday,a new 7
began to appear in my mind.I realized that my
hands were not the only part of me that needed 8
My mind was starving.I saw my father
struggle with modemn business software and new financial procedures.He was a master of wood,but he
felt like a novice in the modern world.This 9
to me that my road had a limit if I didn"t also
pursue the path of knowledge.
The debate inside me grew fierce.I was tom between the 10
of working with my hands and
the hunger for a formal education.In the end,I made a decision that surprised everyone,including myself.
I went back to school.Not to replace my skills,but to add to them.I wanted to master both worlds.
Today,I run my own design-build firm,and my years in the workshop are my greatest strength,not a
signal of a failed education

三、阅读短文回答问题
According to a recent study by the World Bank,the 'returns to educationthe financial benefit an
individual gets from an extra year of schooling-have remained stable globally at about 9%a year.This
figure signals that a university degree is still a valuable investment.However,the study also found that
this return varies greatly by country and field of study.For example,graduates in engineering and
computer science often see much higher returns than those in the humanities.
The study's authors summarize that the most significant factor is the quality of the education.A diploma
from a prestigious,well-resourced university is a much stronger signal of potential than one from a
weaker institution.This creates a global competition for top university spots,which can prevent talented
students from developing countries from achieving their full potential.
Meanwhile,a parallel debate is happening about the value of vocational education.In countries like
Germany and Switzerland,apprenticeships are a respected and common road to a successful career.
Students who follow this path are not seen as failures.Instead,they are appreciated for mastering a
practical skill and contibuting directly to the economy.This suggests that the best"road to education"is
not a single path,but a variety of paths,each leading to a different form of success
1.What does the World Bank study say about the financial value of a university degree?
2.According to the passage,what are two reasons why the "retumns to education"can vary?
3.What is the disadvantage of the global competition for top university spots mentioned in the passage?
4.In what way is vocational education perceived in countries like Germany and Switzerland?
5.What is the main conclusion the author draws about the"road to education'?
