22、   Vocational education is having a moment in the United States, as more job training programs are carried out in schools. But these efforts require a change in thinking about what the process looks like, one that isn’t built only on pushing students to either a college-bound or a vacation-bound track, a long-standing criticism of vacational education efforts in the U.S. One place to look for inspiration may be Finland. The country’s vacational education and training (VET) opens not only to students after they complete nine years of school, but also to adults looking for a career change or improvement in vacational skills.

Finnish students complete nine years of comprehensive education, after which students have an option: They can continue on an academic track and prepare for university, or they can choose to begin vacational 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 workforce. Students can even do both at the same time if they want to.

One reason for VET’s success in Finland is the wide range of occupations for which training is offered. For most Americans, the idea of vacational education calls to mind welding (焊接) or auto repair. Such training is offered in Finland, of course, but other fields, like education, tourism, cooking, social services and gardening, are also included in Finnish vacational education. VET courses are even available for home economics so people can learn to manage their households.

VET isn’t just for teenagers and young adults deciding 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. 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 vacational skills they learned as a result of their training were enough for work, and another 70 percent felt confident they could find work after graduation as a result of the skills they learned.

【1】In the author’s opinion, vacational education in the U.S. ______.

A.follows in Finland’s footsteps

B.fails to cater to the public’s needs

C.greatly decreases students’ interest in learning

D.serves as an addition to the college-bound track

【2】How is Finland’s 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’ choices.

【3】Which of the following can explain VET’s 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.

【4】What do most students surveyed think of Finland’s VET?

A.Practical. B.Academic.

C.Challenging. D.Thorough.

23、

From gobbling(狼吞虎咽） down turkey to spending time with family to watching football, Thanksgiving is filled with traditions. But one of the most popular-pulling the wishbone—dates back centuries.

The upside-down VT shaped bone is actually called the furcula. It is a bone located between a turkey’s neck and its breast Furcula means “little fork” in Latin. All birds have a wishbone.

At Thanksgiving, the tradition is for two people to hold one end of the bone, make a wish，and then tug(用力拉). The winner is the person who ends up with the bigger piece. If you believe the legend, the winner's wish will come true.

The practice of making a wish on a bird’s furcula dates back to the ancient Etruscans, a people who lived in what is today northern Italy. They believed birds were powerful and divine (非凡的) creatures. After killing a chicken, an Etruscan would leave the wishbone in the sun to dry. Passersby would pick it up, stroke it for good luck， and make a wish — That is how the furcula got the name “wishbone.”

The Etruscans passed the ritua (仪式）along to the Romans. Soon, the practice of making a wish on a chicken's furcula became popular in ancient Rome. According to legend，it was so widespread that there weren't enough chickens or wishbones to go around. So the Romans began breaking the wishbone in two. Now, twice as many people could make wishes.

Then the English picked up the tradition. In the 16th century, English settlers brought the practice to the New World there, they found an abundance of wild turkeys. So they started using a turkey furcula for their wishes. Today a wishbone tug-of-war is as much a part of Thanksgiving as is gobbling down turkey.

【1】What is the best title for the passage?

A. Turkey Tug-of-War      B. A Lucky Turkey

C. The New World       D. The Stories of Thanksgiving

【2】What does the fourth paragraph focus on?

A. How to dry the wishbone.

B. The origin of this bone-pulling tradition.

C. The place where the ancient Etruscans lived.

D. The practice of the ancient Etruscans making a wish on a turkey's furcula.

【3】Why did the Romans break the wishbone in two?

A. To save money.

B. To protect chickens.

C. To create an I-shaped wishbone.

D. To give more people the chances to make wishes

【4】Where was a turkey tug-of-war probably served as a Thanksgiving tradition first?

A. In America.        B. In the UK.

C. In ancient Rome.       D. In northern Italy.

24、Hot spots of drones (无人机) in Australia are getting sensors to automatically identify the aircraft and their pilots. Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) said it would fix the equipment at the nation’s airports starting next month. The monitors have been planned for some time, but come in the wake of 72 hours of drone-related disorder at the UK’s Gatwick airport last week.

In 2019, Australia will also start a scheme to register drone owners. The UK is also due to introduce a scheme in November that will require recreational drones weighing 250g (0.55lb) or more to be registered.

Almost 140,000 air travellers were delayed last week after reports of drone sightings caused huge delays at Gatwick Airport. UK police are still searching for the criminals, although they have also raised the possibility that witness reports of the aircraft were mistaken. The incident “highlights” the need for a drone-spotting capability (能力), CASA spokesman Peter Gibson told the news agency Agence France-Presse. The supervision system would be able to spot the types of drone being flown, read their serial numbers and work out where the pilot was located, he said. Efforts to identify pilots would be aided by the introduction of the registration scheme for commercial and casual drone owners, he added. “2019 will witness severe action towards drone safety,” said Mr. Gibson. As well as airports and other sensitive locations, the drone-spotting systems will be fixed in other places known to be popular with drone owners such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Authorities in Australia have expressed worries about the number of drones being flown in controlled areas in recent months. Anyone breaking rules could face fines of up to 10,000 Australian dollars ($7,058; £5,600) as well as checks on the safety of their craft. “In 2019 it could be very expensive doing the wrong thing with your drone,” said Mr. Gibson. Events at Gatwick were discussed by ministers in a Christmas Eve phone conference. It is understood that the Cabinet Office “pushed” the Ministry of Defence and the Home Office to update their relevant regulations. They also discussed defence systems across the UK’s airports.

【1】What does the underlined phrase “in the wake of” probably mean?

A. indicating.   B. causing.

C. preventing.   D. following.

【2】What helps the system work out the identity of the pilot?

A. Registration scheme.   B. The airport.

C. Witness report.   D. The government.

【3】What do we know from the passage?

A. The recreational drones will be required to register next year.

B. The system will be fixed in all the hot tourist spots.

C. Anyone flying the drones will be fined up to $7,058.

D. There was no solid evidence of drone sights at Gatwick Airport.

【4】What’s the best title of the passage?

A. Heavy fines to be given to the pilots

B. Functions of the drone-identifying system

C. Australia to set up drone-spotting system

D. Problems facing drone owners
