三、阅读理解(24 分) A:
Primary education is compulsory in Britain and four in Northern Ireland, school and they finish their primary education at the age of 11. In addition to the many state primary schools which do not ask their pupils to pay fees, there are also some fee-paying independent primary schools. The most famous fee-paying primary schools are the preparatory schools which admit children from 7 to 13 years old.
Primary schools are almost always mixed sex, and usually located close to the child’s home. Children tend to be with the same group throughout the day, and one teacher has responsibility for most of the work they do. But parents are strongly encouraged to help their children, particularly with reading and writing, and small amounts of homework are set to all children after school. Scotland has its own qualification framework that is separate from that in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. After seven years of primary education and four years of compulsory secondary education, students aged 15 to 16 may take the Scottish Certificate of Education (SCE). The Scottish Certificate of Education is recognized throughout the UK as the equivalent to A-levels and is usually the entry qualification for university.
British universities are funded directly by central government grants. They enjoyed complete academic freedom, appoint their own staff, decide which students to admit, provide their own courses and award their own degree. Admission is by selection on the basis of A-Level results, school references and an interview. Higher education in Britain is not compulsory and students would have to pay fees, but the government would give students financial help if they need the help. There are some 90 universities, including the Open University in Britain. The most famous ones after Oxford and Cambridge. There is also the Open University which is “open” to all that want to continue to study, mainly adult students. 31. The first paragraph functions are as________

In a disaster such as earthquake or terrorist attack, nearly two thirds of U.S.parents would disregard orders to evacuate and would rush to pick up their kids from school according to a new survey......
The authors of the study, released Thursday on the seventh anniversary of the September 11 attacks, said that despite years of government efforts to enhance disaster preparedness, schools need to do more to plan for disasters and parents need to be made aware of the plans. Among parents of school-age children, 45% said they do not know the location where their children would be evacuated as part of the school’s disaster plan. “there should be an outer’s from parents to push their schools and their school districts to develop a plan that makes sense” said Irwin Redlener, president of the children’s health fund.
The federal department of homeland security has allocated billions of dollars to help state and local government set up disaster contingency plans, but just 44% of the U.S. Residents surveyed this year said they have all or some of the basic elements of a disaster preparedness plan, including food, water, a flashlight with extra batteries and a meeting place in case of evacuation.
Parents said Thursday they were not surprised by the finding that most of them would disregard evacuation orders and pick up their children. Diana Enen, a mother of three said, “ as a Mom, you wouldn’t be able to keep me away from picking up my children, my first instinct would be to get the at all costs, I would literally run the entire distance to get them, I believe most parents would feel the same.”

C:
Everyone agrees that innovation is key to solving many challenges we face as a country, from health care to education to the environment, and is fundamental to restoring economic growth and prosperity. But I would put it a slightly different way. We must find a way to rebuild the “innovation infrastructure” in this country.
The problem is not that Americans aren’t as inherently innovative as ever-we are. And the level of interest among Americans in the process of innovation--determining the best recipes to make it happen--has been skyrocketing over the past few years. For example, the number of times the word “innovation” appeared in Google news stores has increased by approximately five from Obama’s inauguration to today. Google the term “innovation” and you’ll get 342 million hits,
