Question

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 43.

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.

The phrase “For example,” line 22, introduces a sentence that gives examples of

A. similar textbooks

B. the results of schooling

C. the workings of a government

D. the boundaries of classroom subjects

Đáp án D

Thông tin: 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.

Dịch nghĩa: Các lát cắt của thực tại mà là để được học, cho dù chúng là bảng chữ cái hoặc một sự hiểu biết về các hoạt động của chính phủ, đã thường được giới hạn bởi các ranh giới của đối tượng đang được giảng dạy. Ví dụ, học sinh trung học biết rằng họ không có khả năng tìm ra trong các lớp học của họ sự thật về các vấn đề chính trị trong cộng đồng của họ hoặc những gì các nhà làm phim mới nhất đang thử nghiệm.

Cụm từ “For example” là để nêu ví dụ cho ý được triển khai ngay trước nó. Ý của câu trước giải thích rằng những kiến thức thực tế thì thường bị hạn chế trong các môn học chính quy, hay chính là giới hạn của các các môn học.

Phương án D. the boundaries of classroom subjects = giới hạn của các các môn học trên lớp; là phương án chính xác nhất.

          A. similar textbooks = sách giáo khoa khác nhau

          B. the results of schooling = các kết quả của việc đi học

          C. the workings of a government = các hoạt động của chính phủ
