分析推理题。短本文第二段论述了文艺复兴时期的人文主义者的教育观点。他们认为，知识的传授不需要宗教、社会、经济或政治理由，其目的仅仅是将知识整体代代传承下去。还引用Erasmus和John Dewey的话，说明教育的目的就是教育本身。而由该段首句可知，柏拉图是反对这种观点的，故D项为正确答案。由该段第二句的前半句可知，人们认为人文知识（classical learning）在“黑暗时代”消失了，并不能推知这一时代的学者是否反对“为教育而教育”的观点。

第1题：
根据下列文章，回答31～35题。
The relationship between formal education and economic growth in poor countries is widely misunderstood by economists and politicians alike. Progress in both areas is undoubtedly necessary for the social, political and intellectual development of these and all other societies; however, the conventional view that education should be one of the very highest priorities for promoting rapid economic development in poor countries is wrong. We are fortunate that is it, because building new educational systems there and putting enough people through them to improve economic performance would require two or three generations. The findings of a research institution have consistently shown that workers in all countries can be trained on the job to achieve radically higher productivity and, as a result, radically higher standards of living.
Ironically, the first evidence for this idea appeared in the United States. Not long ago, with the country entering a recessing and Japan at its prebubble peak, the U.S. workforce was derided as poorly educated and one of the primary cause of the poor U.S. economic performance. Japan was, and remains, the global leader in automotiveassembly productivity. Yet the research revealed that the U.S. factories of Honda, Nissan, and Toyota achieved about 95 percent of the productivity of their Japanese counterparts—a result of the training that U.S. workers received on the job.
More recently, while examining housing construction, the researchers discovered that illiterate, non-English-speaking Mexican workers in Houston, Texas, consistently met best-practice labor productivity standards despite the complexity of the building industry’s work.
What is the real relationship between education and economic development? We have begun to suspect that continuing economic growth promotes the development of education even when governments don’t force it. After all, that’s how education got started. When our ancestors were hunters and gatherers 10,000 years ago, they didn’t have time to wonder much about anything besides finding food. Only when humanity began to get its food in a more productive way was there time for other things.
As education improved, humanity’s productivity potential increased as well. When the competitive environment pushed our ancestors to achieve that potential, they could in turn afford more education. This increasingly high level of education is probably a necessary, but not a sufficient, condition for the complex political systems required by advanced economic performance. Thus poor countries might not be able to escape their poverty traps without political changes that may be possible only with broader formal education. A lack of formal education, however, doesn’t constrain the ability of the developing world’s workforce to substantially improve productivity for the foreseeable future. On the contrary, constraints on improving productivity explain why education isn’t developing more quickly there than it is.

Passage 2
Teacher education provided by U．S． colleges and universities has been routinely criticized sinceits inception in the early nineteenth century, sometimes deservedly． These programs, likenon-university programs, are uneven in quality and can be improved． What makes today′ s criticismsdifferent is an aggressive effort by advocacy groups, and self-proclaimed educational entrepreneursto deregulate the preparation of teachers, and to expand independent, alternative routes intoteaching．
This effort to "disrupt" the field of teacher preparation in the United States has gainedconsiderable momentum and legitimacy, with venture capitalists, philanthropy, and the U．S．
Department of Education all providing sponsorship and substantial funding．
The strength of this effort is that the United States may quickly seek to dismantle its universitysystem and replace much of it with independent, private programs． The resulting system of teacherpreparation may differ dramatically in its government, structure, content, and processes movingaway from its current location alongside legal, medical, and other professional preparation that pairsacademic degrees with professional training．
Throughout the nation, states are reporting teacher shortages in particular subject areas andgeographical locations, and several states have either passed legislation to lower the standards forbecoming a teacher or, like the state of Washington, have looked toward expanding the number ofteacher education providers to try to fill teaching vacancies． The federal government has contributedto the push to lower standards for becoming a teacher with the Teacher Preparation Academy
provision in the new K-12 education law, the Every Student Succeeds Act, which encourages statesto expand the number of independent programs not associated with colleges and universities．
Because of the increasing tuition rates, a consequence in part, of cuts in funding to publicuniversities that continue to educate most U．S． teachers, enrollments in college and universityteacher education programs have declined in many parts of the country． Independent teachereducation programs are being viewed by some as an important part of the solution in staffing thenation′s classrooms and addressing our serious and enduring problems in education inequities．
Additionally, advocacy groups, philanthropists, and so-called education entrepreneurs are workingaggressively to expand these independent alternative routes into teaching．
Given the seriousness of the teacher shortage problem in the United States and the substantialmedia attention that has been given to independent teacher education programs as the solution toteacher shortages and education inequities, policy makers should very carefully examine theevidence that exists about the nature and impact of these relatively new programs that are rapidlyexpanding while university teacher education enrollments decline．
Which of the following is true of the independent teacher education programs
A.They are initiated to deal with teacher shortages and education inequities．
B.They aimed to raise the standards of teacher education programs．
C.They compete with the university teacher education programs．
D.They can replace the university teacher education programs．答案：A解析：细节题。根据最后一段中的“Giventhe seriousness oftheteacher shortage problemintheUnited States and the substantial media attention that has been given to independent teacher education programs as thesolution to teacher shortages and education inequities”可知。由于美国教师短缺的严重问题，还有大量媒体对于私立师范教育的关注．私立师范教育被认为是解决师资短缺和教育不公的方法。故选A。 -

B.the Japanese workforce is more productive

D.the U.S workforce is more organize答案：B解析：文章第二段谈到“具有讽刺意味的是，证明这种思想（把教育放在促进经济发展动力的第一位是错误的）最早的证据在美国。不久以前，随着这个国家进入衰退而日本处于泡沫经济破灭之前的顶峰，美国劳动力被讥笑为差火的教育，而这种教育情况也被视为美国经济不好表现的主要原因之一。日本在自动化生产效率方面，现在仍然是全球的领导者。而最新的研究显示，本田、尼桑、丰田等美国的工厂取得了大约95%他们日本工厂的生产效率。”由此，显然B是正确答案。A的内容是无中生有；C和D的内容和文章的观点相反。 -

第9题：
问答题◆Topic 8: Is education Losing its Value? Questions for reference: 1. Some people think that this increased access to education is devaluing degrees. What’s your point of view? 2. What can the degrees bring to people? 3. Do you think it’s necessary to have increased emphasis on degrees in our society? Why?正确答案： 【参考答案】
People have several arguments against the need for degrees. They say that having so many graduates devalues a degree. People lose respect for the degree holder. It is also claimed that education has become a rat race. Graduates have to compete for jobs even after years of studying.
Another point is that studying for such a long time leads to. learners becoming inflexible. They know a lot about one narrow subject, but are unable to apply their skills. Employers prefer more flexible and adaptable workers.
However, I feel strongly that this move to having more qualifications is a positive development.
In the past education was only for the rich and powerful. Now it is available to everyone, and this will have many advantages for the country and the individual. First of all, it is impossible to be overeducated. The more people are educated, the better the world will be, because people will be able to discuss and exchange ideas. A further point is that people with degrees have many more opportunities. They can take a wider variety of jobs and do what they enjoy doing, instead of being forced to take a job they dislike. Finally, a highly educated workforce is good for the economy of the country. It attracts foreign investment.
In conclusion, although there are undoubtedly some problems with increased levels of education, I feel strongly that the country can only progress if all its people are educated to the maximum of their ability.解析： 暂无解析 -

推理判断题。根据题干信息定位到第三段第四句话“In terms of its educational policy, the NAACP position Was that all American children and youth should have genuine equality of educational opportunity.”，由此可知，在教育政策方面，NAACP认为所有的美国儿童和青年都应该拥有真正平等的受教育机会，即无论是黑人还是白人或者其他种族，在教育方面都没有特权，故A选项错误； 第三段第五句中的schooling指的是中小学，不包括高等教育，故B选项错误；D选项的内容是华盛顿所持的观点，混淆对象故排除。故答案为C项。 -

Education for education's sake was probably opposed by
[A] scholars in the Renaissance period.
[B] Jill Ker Conway.
[C] scholars in the Dark Ages.
[D] Plato.
正确答案：D
57．D【精析】该题为细节题。根据第二段第一句和第二句“In contrast to Plato's claim for the social value of education,a quite different i— dea of intellectual purposes was advocated by the Renaissance hu- manists. Overjoyed with...they argued that the imparting of knowl- edge needs no justification-religious, social, economic, or politi- cal．”我们知道，柏拉图认为教育应该具有社会价值，而文艺复兴时期的人文主义者持有与柏拉图完全不同的观点，提出知识的传授不应该具有宗教、社会、经济、政治目的，由此我们可以推断出，文艺复兴时期的人文主义者同意“教育只为教育而生”即“educa- tion for education’s sake”的观点，而柏拉图持相反的观点，选项C 在文中没有提到；根据对第56题的分析可知，吉尔·克尔·康维虽支持实用主义教育，但仍认为它有一些欠缺。综合考虑，最有可能反对“教育的目的就是教育本身。”的是柏拉图，故选择D 项’。 ． -

第16题：
Which of the following is true according to the first paragraph?
［A］ Democratic ideas started with education.
［B］ Federalists were opposed to education.
［C］ New education helped confirm people’s social status.
［D］ Old education had been in tune with hierarchical society.
正确答案：D本题是推理引申题。文章第一段第一句指出，随着19世纪上半叶民主权利的扩展以及随之而来的联邦主义机构的削弱，一种新的教育观念出现了。接下来的内容主要是围绕这种新的教育观念展开论述。从第一句话中可以得知，是民主权利的扩展带来了新的教育观念的产生，［A］项颠倒了二者的先后顺序，应排除。文中提到“新”的教育观念是在联邦主义机构削弱的情况下产生的。由此只能得出，新的教育观念与联邦主义有些冲突，并不能得出联邦主义者反对整个教育即［B］项的结论。第二句作者指出，教育不再是对人们先前存在的地位的确定，而成了获得更高地位的手段。［C］项与文意相悖，因此不正确。通过该句“不再”（no longer）可以推断出，从前的教育可以确定人们的社会地位，因此［D］项为正确答案。

CGreeks and the medieval Church had the same moral purpose in education.

正确答案： B解析：
推理判断题。根据题干信息定位到第一段第三句“In today’s world，the moral purpose of education takes non—religious forms：racial integration，sex education，good citizenship”，由此可知，在当今世界，道德教育采取非宗教形式：种族融合、性教育以及公民教育，从而可以判断出在不同时代社会状况下，道德教育的形式也不一样，故B选项正确；同时 D项意为教育的道德目的是为了拥护宗教信仰，陈述过于片面和绝对，故排除；第一段第一句只是提及美国最高法院禁止公立学校举行祈祷仪式，并不代表法律和公众在教育目的的观点上存在矛盾，曲解文意，故A项错误；第一段第二句提到“It is an idea common to both the Greeks and the medieval Church”，即希腊和中世纪的教会都认同道德教育应该是教育的目的之一，并不能转述为两者道德教育的目的一致，故C项错误。 -

第23题：
问答题Top colleges and universities are rushing into online education, but the big news is the proliferation of a new breed of for-profit online institutions bringing Internet education to the masses. “The Internet will probably be the single most democratizing force in education,” says Columbia Business School Dean Meyer Feldberg, who envisions educational programs being routed through the Net to hundreds of millions of people. The largest online institution is the University of Phoenix (http://onl.uophx.edu/), with some 6, 000 students today and hopes of reaching 200, 000 students in 10 years. The University offers bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees in business management, technology, education and nursing. The institution boasts that if you’re a student “you can earn your degree via the Internet whenever and wherever you want.” The University notes that its degree programs cost far less and may take some students far less time to complete. On the other hand, a Business Week survey of 247 companies found that only a handful would consider hiring applicants who earned their MBA degrees online. Whether that will change as for-profit online universities improve their offerings—and graduates prove their worth—is anyone’s guess.正确答案：
目前一些顶尖高等院校正仓促进行在线教育,但是传出的一条重要消息却是一种新的旨在盈利的在线机构的激增,这些机构正在把因特网网上教育带给广大民众。“因特网或许会是进入教育领域的惟一的最民主化的力量,”哥伦比亚商业学校教务长Meyer Feldberg说。他设想通过教育节目的网络来连接亿万民众。最大的在线的教育机构是凤凰大学( http://onl.uophx.edu/ ), 它目前拥有大约6000名学生,并且10年内学生总数有望达到200000人。该大学向学生授予商务管理、技术、教育及护理学等专业的学士、硕士和博士学位。学校夸口说,如果你是一个学生,“无论何时何地只要你需要,都可以通过因特网来获取学位”。学校特别提到,它的学位课程费用要比一般大学少得多,而且可以让一些学生花较少的时间就完成大学学业。另一方面,一份《商务周刊》的调查发现在247家公司中,只有少数几家会考虑雇佣获得网上商务管理硕士学位的求职者。这种情况是否会随着盈利性在线大学教学条件的改善而改变——毕业生是否能证明他们自身的价值——这一切都还是一个未知数。解析： 暂无解析
