It is curious that Stephen Koziatek feels almost as though he has to justify his efforts to give his students a better future.
Mr.Koziatek is part of something pioneering. He is a teacher at a New Hampshire high school where learning is not something of books and tests and mechanical memorization, but practical. When did it become accepted wisdom that students should be able to name the 13th president of the United States but be utterly overwhelmed by a broken bike chain?
As Koziatek knows,there is learning in just about everything. Nothing is necessarily gained by forcing students to learn geometry at a graffitied desk stuck with generations of discarded chewing gum. They can also learn geometry by assembling a bicycle.
But he’s also found a kind of insidious prejudice. Working with your hands is seen as almost a mark of inferiority.Schools in the family of vocational education “have that stereotype..that it’s for kids who can’t make it academically,”he says.
On one hand,that viewpoint is a logical product of America’s evolution.Manufacturing is not the economic engine that it once was.The job security that the US economy once offered to high school graduates has largely evaporated.More education is the new principle.We want more for our kids,and rigitfully so.
But the headlong push into bachelor’s degrees for all -and the subtle devaluing of anything less-misses an important point:That’s not the only thing the American economy neds.Yes,a bachelor’s degree opens more doors.But even now,54 percent of the jobs in the country are middle-skill jobs,such as construction and high-skill manufacturing.But only 44 percent of workers are adequately trained.
In other words,at a time when the working class has turned the country on its political head,frustrated that the opportunity that once defined America is vanishing,one obvious solution is staring us in the face.There is a gap in working-class jobs,but the workers who need those jobs most aren’t equipped to do them.Koziatek’s Manchester School of Technology High School is trying to fill that gap.
Koziatek’s school is a wake-up call.When education becomes one-size-fits-all,it risks overlooking a nation’s diversiy of gifts.
1.A brokan bike chain is mentioned to show students’ lack of______.
A.mechanical memorization
B.academic training
C.practical ability
D.pioneering spirit
2.There existsthe prejudice that vocational education is for kids who______.
A.are financially disadvantaged
B.are not academically successful
C.have a stereotyped mind
D.have no career motivation
3.We can infer from Paragraph 5 that high school graduates______.
A.are entitled to more “ducational privileges
B.are reluctant to work in manufacturing
C.used to have more job opportunities
D.used to have big financial concerns
4.The headlong push into bacheloi’s degrees for all_____.
A.helps create a lot of middle-skill jobs
B.may narrow the gap in working-class jobs
C.is expected to yield a better-trained workforce
D.indicates the overvaluing of higher education
5.The author’s attitude toward Koziatek’s school can be described as_____.
A.supportive
B.disappointed
C.tolerant
D.cautious
1. 【答案】C practical ability
【解析】這是一道細節題，根據題干關鍵詞可定位至第二段最后一句話,意思是”什么時候這種觀點變得可接受了呢?學生應該能夠說出美國第十三任總統的名字，但是卻完全對壞了的自行車鏈束手無策”。從作者使用問句的形式就可判斷出作者并不接受這種觀點，即學生只學會書本上的知識而不具備實際能力。再結合上一句話即本段第二句話，Mr Koziatek是New Hampshire高中的一名老師，在這所學校，學習不只是書本上的知識，或者是為了考試，也不是為了機械化的記憶，而是為了實際的技能。能看出，作者認為學生們缺少的是實際技能，所以答案是C practical ability.
2. 【答案】 B are not academically successful
【解析】這是一道具體細節題，根據題干關鍵詞職業教育對孩子存在的偏見可定位至第四段最后一句，意思是“在很多職業化教育的學校中，有這樣一種老套的思想，那就是，職業教育是針對那些在學術上不能成功的那些孩子的。”根據這句話可確定答案就是B are not academically successful 。其他選項均不符合文意。
3.【答案】C used to have more job opportunities
【解析】這是一道細節推斷題，根據題干第五段和high school graduates 回到原文定位致第五段第三句，說到美國經濟曾經提供給高中畢業生的那種the job security已經在很大程度上evaporated也就是消失了，那說明過去的時候高中畢業生是有職業安全感的，故選C，其他選項都不在定位處，可以排除。
4.【答案】D indicate the overvaluing of higher education
【解析】這是一道事實細節題，根據題干內容“the headlong push”找到出處是第六段開頭But后，發現后面還有一個and...和其并列，所以主要關注對這兩部分的評價，后面有明顯的標點：冒號出現，冒號后說that is not the only thing the American economy needs. 可以看出這句話對前面的否定，選項中只有D選項動詞overvalue是負面詞，而且提到主題詞education。故選D。這道題最適合用感情色彩來排除與D相反的其他三個選項。
5.【答案】A supportive
【解析】這是一道態度題，放在最末的態度題更傾向于到最后一段找答案。通過定位詞Koziatek’s school 看到最后一段也確實提到了，說它是一個wake-up call。也就是在喚醒人們教育不應該是統一的形式，這樣會overlooking a nation’s diversity of gifts，也就是忽視人才的差異性。所以可以看出作者是支持的態度。

The power and ambition of the giants of the digital economy is astonishing —Amazon has just announced the purchase of the upmarket grocery chain Whole Foods for $13.5bn, but two years ago Facebook paid even more than that to acquire the WhatsApp messaging service, which doesn’t have any physical product at all. What WhatsApp offered Facebook was an intricate and finely detailed web of its users’ friendships and social lives.
Facebook promised the European commission then that it would not link phone numbers to Facebook identities, but it broke the promise almost as soon as the deal went through. Even without knowing what was in the messages, the knowledge of who sent them and to whom was enormously revealing and still could be. What political journalist, what party whip, would not want to know the makeup of the WhatsApp groups in which Theresa May’s enemies are currently plotting? It may be that the value of Whole Foods to Amazon is not so much the 460 shops ft owns, but the records of which customers have purchased what.
Competition law appears to be the only way to address these imbalances of power. But it is clumsy. For one thing, it is very slow compared to the pace of change within the digital economy. By the time a problem has been addressed and remedied it may have vanished in the marketplace, to be replaced by new abuses of power. But there is a deeper conceptual problem, too. Competition law as presently interpreted deals with financial disadvantage to consumers and this is not obvious when the users of these services don’t pay for them. The users of their services are not their customers. That would be the people who buy advertising from them — and Facebook and Google, the two virtual giants, dominate digital advertising to the disadvantage of all other media and entertainment companies.
The product they’re selling is data, and we, the users, convert our lives to data for the benefit of the digital giants. Just as some ants farm the bugs called aphids for the honeydew they produce whe
6.According to Paragraph1，Facebook acquired WhatsApp for its 。
A.digialproducts
B.userinformation
C.physical assets
D.quality service
7.Linking phone numbers to Faccbook identities may
A.worsen political disputes
B.mess up customer records
C.pose a risk to Facebook users
D.mislead the European commission
8.According to the author，competition law
A.should serve the new market powers
B.may worsen the economic imbalancens
C.should not provide just one legal solution
D.cannot keep pace with the changing market
9.Competition law as presently interpreted can hardly protect Facebook nsers
Because
A.they are no defined as customers
B.they are not financially reliable
C.these rvices aregenerally digital
D.the services are paid for by advertisers
10.The ants analogy is used to llustrate
A.a win-win business model between digital giants
B.a typical competition pattem among digital giants
C.the benefits provided for digital giants' customers
D.the relationship between digital giants and their users
6. 【答案】 [B]user information
【解析】細節題。根據題干信息定位到第一段第二句。該句提到兩年前Facebook花了更多的錢獲得了WhatsApp的信息服務。接著提到WhatsApp提供給Facebook的是關于其用戶的朋友圈以及社會生活等具體精煉的信息。由此可知，B項為正確答案。
7. 【答案】[C]pose a risk to Facebook users
【解析】細節題。根據題干關鍵詞linking the phone number定位第二段第一句。該句提到Facebook向歐洲委員會承諾不會把用戶的電話號與Facebook的身份認證連系到一起，但是協議通過之后Facebook立馬失信。接下來提到“甚至都不清楚信息里面都有什么，也不知誰發的消息，發送的目的又是什么”。因此，可能會給用戶造成風險。因此C項符合文意。
8. 【答案】[D]cannot keep pace with the changing market
【解析】細節題。根據題干關鍵詞competition law 定位到第三段第一句。該句指出“競爭法似乎成為解決這些不平等權力的唯一辦法，但是此法案太過笨拙”。下一句提到“一方面，相比于數據經濟變化的速度，此法案發展是非常緩慢的”。由此可知，該法案跟不上當前市場變化的步伐。因此D項為正確答案。
9. 【答案】[D]the services are paid for by advertisers.
【解析】根據題目中的because 可確定為因果細節題。題干中的信息出現在第三段后半部分，是題目中的原詞 competition law as presently interpreted，而原因在其后面的句子。下文寫到，the users of their services are not，讀到這里的not，一定要找而是誰。繼續讀下一句，That would be the people who buy advertising from them…，與選項對應，可得出[D]the services are paid for by advertisers。
10. 【答案】[D]the relationship between digital giants and their users.
【解析】根據題目中is used to illustrate可判斷為例證題，要找到the ants analogy論據所證明的論點;論點在論據之前，因此先找到論據the ants analogy，再找到論據前的論點句。所以本題定位到最后一段的第一句，The product …is data，and we…convert our lives to data…。此句中，data即digital giants，we 即 users。因此答案為[D]the relationship between digital giants and their users.
