C Vocational education is having a moment in the United States, as more job training programs are carried
26、 out in schools. But these efforts require a change in thinking about what the process looks like, one that isnt built only on pushing students to either a college-bound or a vocation-bound track, a long-standing criticism of vocational education efforts in the U.S. One place to look for inspiration
27、 may be Finland. The countrys vocational education and training(VET) 第 5 页共 16 页 opens not only to students after they complete nine years ofschool, but also to adults looking for a career change or improvement in vocational skills. Finnish students complete nine years of comprehensive education, af
28、ter which students have an option: They can continue on an academic track and prepare for university, or they can choose to begin vocational training. Either way, the process takes three years, and both sets of students can, following the completion of their tracks, apply for university or enter the
29、 workforce. Students can even do both at the same time if they want to. One reason for VETs success in Finland is the wide range of occupations for which training is offered. For most Americans, the idea of vocational education calls to mind welding(焊接) or auto repair. Such training is offered in Fi
30、nland, of course, but other fields, like education, tourism, cooking, social services and gardening, are also included in Finnish vocational education. VET courses are even available for home economics so people can learn to manage their households. VET isnt just for teenagers and young adults decid
31、ing what they want to do with their lives. VET programs are available to older adults as well. These adults may want to improve their skills in their current occupations, or they may be looking to change their careers entirely, from a driver to a baker. VET programs can help them achieve those goals
32、. These courses may cost money for adults, between 50 and 60 euros, but many are free of charge. A survey of VET students found high satisfaction with the process. 64 percent of those who responded to the survey said they felt the vocational skills they learned as a result of their training were eno
33、ugh for work, and another 70 percent felt confident they could find work after graduation as a result of the skills they learned. 28. In the authors opinion, vocational education in the U.S. _. A.follows in Finlands footsteps B.fails to cater to the publics needs C.greatly decreases students interes
34、t in learning D.serves as an addition to the college-bound track 29.How is Finlands VET special? A.It is a major part of comprehensive education. B.It opens up opportunities to people of all ages. C.It is totally independent of a college education. D.It is flexible and fully respects students choice
35、s. 30.Which of the following can explain VETs success in Finland? A.VET guarantees trainees a good job. B.VET is free of charge for all trainees. C.VET is totally supported by the government. D.VET offers training in almost all walks of life. 31.What do most students surveyed think of Finlands VET?
36、A.Practical. B.Academic. C.Challenging. D.Thorough. 第 6 页共 16 页 D Concerned about pollution and congestion (拥塞), a growing number of local governments are trying to reduce the number of drivers in Europes big cities. Some, like London and Stockholm, have introduced congestion charges to discourage d
37、riving during peak hours. Paris has tried banning cars from driving on certain days, depending on whether they have even or odd number plates. Perhaps the most ambitious plan to curb cars comes from Oslo, Norways capital. The change that is most easily to be noticed in Oslo is somewhat different fro
38、m that in other European cities. Late last year, the government removed some 700 parking spaces from the city centre, replacing them with benches, bicycles and more pavements. The mere 50 or so spots that remain are largely reserved for handicapped residents and local businesses that rely on deliver
39、ies. Another big change has come in the form of zoning reform. Some roads in the city centre have been closed off to private cars; others have been changed so that traffic can only flow in one direction. Enforcement has been severe, though. The city government has placed signs informing drivers of t
40、he new rules, but not everyone has paid them much attention. In addition, Norways conservatives believe strongly in the idea of car ownership, and shopkeepers worry that fewer cars might mean fewer customers. It is still too early to assess how effective the new measures have been. Still, early data
41、 show that pedestrian traffic in the city centre was up by 10% in the fourth quarter of 2018 over a year earlier, which suggests the reforms are working as intended. Hanna Marcussen, vice-mayor for urban development and a member of the Green Party, notes that Oslos most successful shops are on the h
42、igh street, where most customers are pedestrians anyway. The government is busy compiling tax records to measure the economic impact of its reforms. Research on Stockholms congestion-pricing scheme finds that the benefits from factors such as shorter travel times and safer roads far outweigh the fee
43、s paid by drivers. The fact that the citys efforts to control traffic have been controversial has forced the government to take an incremental (递增的) approach, constantly negotiating with suspicious business owners. Ms Marcussen compares the governments traffic reforms to Norways public-smoking ban,
44、which was passed in 2004. She said many people complained before the law was passed, but few today would demand loudly to let people smoke in pubs again. 32. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “curb” in paragraph 1？ A. Support. B. Control. C. Replace. D. Abandon. 33.
45、What is the most visible change in Oslo？ A. The removal of public parking. B. Creating more one-way traffic. C. The limitation on cars in rush hours. D. Placing strict restrictions on private cars. 34.What message is conveyed in the third paragraph? A. Cars are hardly banned. B. Anti-car policies ar
46、e in vain. C. The car industry is declining. D. The reforms havent come easily. 第 7 页共 16 页 35.What does Ms. Marcussen mean in the end? A. New things need to be tested repeatedly. B. Timing is important to the success of reforms. C. More efforts are to be put in the traffic reforms. D. Most people w
47、ill finally support the traffic reforms. 第二节 (共 5 小题；每小题 2.5分，满分 12.5分) 阅读下面短文， 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 选项中有两项为多 余选项。 Its not secret our dependence on fossil fuels for energy has put an unbearable strain on the environment. Alternative forms of energy, such as wind and solar power, are often either
48、too inefficient or too expensive to permanently replace conventional energy sources, such as coal and oil.36 This has led to solutions that some might consider unbelievable. Take the cactus (仙人掌) for example. Believe it or not, scientists have discovered that one cactus, called nopal, can be transformed into clean, renewable energy. 37 The gas the rotting cactus gives off can then power a generator that creates electricity. Whats more, nopal is cheap and easy to grow, and the pulp (果肉) can be used as fertilizer, leavin
