Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 36 to 42.

It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get an education.
Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The
distinction between schooling and education implied by this remark is important. Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling.

Education knows no bounds. It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning. The agents of education can range from a revered grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist. Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions. People are engaged in education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term. It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school and one that should be an integral part of one's entire life.
 

Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little
from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately the same
time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and
so on. The slices of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of
the workings of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject being taught.
For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about
political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are
definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.
 

Question 36: What does the author probably mean by using the expression "children interrupt their
education to go to school"?
A. Going to several different schools is educationally beneficial.
B. School vacations interrupt the continuity of the school year.
C. Summer school makes the school year too long.
D. All of life is an education.
Question 37: The word "chance" is closest in meaning to ..........
A. unplanned

B. unusual

C. lengthy

D. lively
Question 38: The word "an integral" is closest in meaning to ...........
A. an equitable

B. a profitable

C. a pleasant

D. an essential
Question 39: The word "they" refers to ............
A. slices of reality

B. similar textbooks
C. boundaries

D. seats
 

Question 40: From the passage, we can infer that a high school teacher
A. is free to choose anything to teach
B. is bound to teach programmed subjects
C. is not allowed to teach political issues
D. has to teach social issues to all classes

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 43 to 50.
In the West, cartoons are used chiefly to make people laugh. The important feature of all these
cartoons is the joke and the element of surprise which is contained. Even though it is very funny, Unlike
most American and European cartoons, however, many Chinese cartoon drawings in the past have also
attempted to educate people, especially those who could not read and write. a good cartoon is always
based on close observation of a particular feature of life and usually has a serious purpose.
 

Cartoons in the West have been associated with political and social matters for many years. In
wartime, for example, they proved to be an excellent way of spreading propaganda. Nowadays cartoons
are often used to make short, sharp comments on politics and governments as well as on a variety of
social matters. In this way, the modern cartoon has become a very powerful force in influencing people
in Europe and the United States.
 

Unlike most American and European cartoons, however, many Chinese cartoon drawings in the
past have also attempted to educate people, especially those who could not read and write. Such
cartoons about the lives and sayings of great men in China have proved extremely useful in bringing
education to illiterate and semi-literate people throughout China. Confucius, Mencius and Laozi have all
appeared in very interesting stories presented in the form of cartoons. The cartoons themselves have
thus served to illustrate the teachings of the Chinese sages in a very attractive way.
 

In this sense, many Chinese cartoons are different from Western cartoons in so far as they do
not depend chiefly on telling jokes. Often, there is nothing to laugh at when you see Chinese cartoons.
This is not their primary aim. In addition to commenting on serious political and social matters, Chinese
cartoons have aimed at spreading the traditional Chinese thoughts and culture as widely as possible
among the people.
 

Today, however, Chinese cartoons have an added part to play in spreading knowledge. They
offer a very attractive and useful way of reaching people throughout the world, regardless of the
particular country in which they live. Thus, through cartoons, the thoughts and teachings of the old
Chinese philosophers and sages can now reach people who live in such countries as Britain, France,
America, Japan, Malaysia or Australia and who are unfamiliar with the Chinese culture.
 

Until recently, the transfer of knowledge and culture has been overwhelmingly from the West to
the East and not vice versa. By means of cartoons, however, publishing companies in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore are now having success in correcting this imbalance between the East and the West. Cartoons can overcome language barriers in all foreign countries. The vast increase in the popularity of these cartoons serves to illustrate the truth of Confucius's famous saying "One picture is worth a thousand words."
Question 43: Which of the following clearly characterizes Western cartoons?
A. Seriousness, propaganda, and attractiveness.
B. Enjoyment, liveliness, and carefulness.
C. Humor, unexpectedness, and criticism.

Question 44: Chinese cartoons have been useful as an important means of ...........
A. amusing people all the time
B. educating ordinary people
C. spreading Western ideas
D. political propaganda in wartime

..........

C. nationalities

Question 46: The pronoun "this" in paragraph 4 mostly refers to .........
A. a propaganda campaign
B. a funny element

B. an opinion about how cartoons entertain people
