While traveling abroad, Mr. Jackson Frank ran short of money. So he wrote to his brother, asking for $500. “Send the money by telegram,” he wrote, “to the Fisher Bank in P...”?After a week he began calling at the Fisher Bank. He showed his passport. “ Nothing has come for you,” he was told. This went on for two weeks and Mr. Frank got very worried. He sent a telegram to his brother, but there was no reply. In the fourth week Mr. Frank was arrested for failing to pay his hotel bill. His passport was taken from him. He tried to explain the problem, but no one believed him. He was sent to prison for six days.?

When he came out, he went immediately to the Fisher bank. The clerk he spoke to was a new man. “Have you received $500 for me?” he ask, “My name is Jackson Frank.” The clerk checked his books. “Yes, Jackson, it's here. It came by telegram.—let me see—oh, more than two months ago. We wondered where you were.” He showed Mr. Frank the order. The order read:” Pay Mr. Frank Jackson the sum of $500...” “ But my name is Jackson Frank, not Frank Jackson.” “ Oh, that's all right, sir. It was in our books under the letter ‘J', but it's your money.” The clerk laughed,” A human mistake, sir! We're all human beings, so we all make mistakes.

Plastics are considered one of the most serious pollutants causing environmental problems. The garbage containing plastics end up in the waterways that eventually flow into the oceans. Accumulation (聚集)of plastic in the ocean endangers marine life and pollutes the water.
Does a plastic continent exist? Yes, a plastic continent does exist and was discovered by Captain Charles Moore a decade ago. The plastic continent is twice the size of Britain and it is the region between the Hawaii Islands and California in the central Pacific Ocean.
One of the causes of the lack of marine life in this region is due to pollution and pollutants are none other than plastics. Captain Charles Moore believes plastic waste started accumulating in the 1950s.
The plastic continent is the man-made continent of floating plastic waste. The fisher men and the sailors have avoided this region for years. The reasons are:
1. There are no fish here because of the lack of nutrients.
2. The zone also lacks the wind that is essential for sailing.
To do research on the ocean pollution, Captain Moore founded Algalita Marine Research Foundation. Other organizations such as Greenpeace supported his cause. The reports of The United Nations Environment Program show that millions of seabirds and marine animals are dying due to the invasion(入侵)of plastics. The waste plastics can be recycled, but in fact they are being thrown into the oceans. The marine animals mistake these for food and eat them. This leads to their death that affects the marine food chain.
To save the oceans from the plastic continent you need to reduce the use of plastics, reuse plastic bags and recycle plastics.
【小题1】 What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A.A plastic continent does exist in the Pacific Ocean
B.Endangered marine life is well protected.
C.Plastics are one of the main causes of water pollution.
D.Plastics should be forbidden in people’s daily life.
【小题2】 What is the direct influence of the plastic continent?
A.Local fishermen have to fish in other areas.
B.The water becomes shallow and fish have to move away.
C.The wind is too strong there and it makes sailing more difficult.
D.It makes people realize the importance of protecting the environment.
【小题3】 It is implied that the work of plastic recycling proves to be ______.
A.effectiveB.expensiveC.a difficult taskD.not good enough
【小题4】What can we learn from the passage?
A.Many marine animals are dying due to the broken marine food chain.
B.Captain Moore founded Greenpeace to do research on the ocean pollution.
C.The marine animals have no choice but to eat plastics for lack of food.
D.There are three ways to prevent the oceans from becoming a plastic continent.

Further education is officially described as the“post-secondary stage of education, comprising all vocational(职业的) and non-vocational provision made for young people who have left school, or for adults”. Further education thus embraces the vast range of university, technical, commercial, and art education and the wide field of adult education. It is this sector of education, which is concerned with education beyond the normal school-leaving ages of 16 or 18, that has experienced the most astonishing growth in the number of students.

In the 19th century the dominance(统治地位) of Oxford and Cambridge was challenged by the rise of the civic(城市的) universities, such as London, Manchester, and Birmingham. Following the lead of the 18th century German universities and responding to a public demand for increased opportunity for higher education, Britain’s new civic universities quickly acquired recognition—not only in technological fields but also in the fine and liberal arts.

Many new post-school technical colleges were founded in the early 20th century. The Fisher Act of 1918 empowered the local authorities to levy(征收) a rate (tax) to finance such colleges. The universities, on the other hand, received funds from the central government through the University Grants Committee, established in 1911 and recognized in 1920, after World War I.

A new type of technical college was established in the 1960s—the polytechnic, which provides mainly technological courses of university level as well as courses of a general kind in the arts and sciences. Polytechnics are chartered to award degrees validated(使有效) by a Council for National Academic Awards.

Thus, the third level in the United Kingdom is made up of colleges of further education, technical colleges, polytechnics, and universities. The colleges offer full-time and part-time courses beyond compulsory-school level. Polytechnics and universities are mainly responsible for degrees and research. The innovative Open University, with its flexible admission policy and study arrangements, opened in 1971. It uses various media to provide highly accessible and flexible higher education for working adults and other part-time students. It serves as an organizational model and provides course-materials for similar institutions in other countries.

Changes in British education in the second half of the 20th century have, without changing the basic values in the system, extended education by population, level, and content. New areas for expansion include immigrant cultural groups and multicultural content, the accommodation of special needs, and the development of tools and content in the expanding fields of microelectronics.

1.The first paragraph is written to explain      of further education.

A.the development  B.the history

C.the definition     D.the prospects(前景)

2.The new civic universities in Britain     .

A.replaced the dominance of Oxford and Cambridge

B.provided further education for all the people who need it

C.met the increased demand of the public for higher education

D.immediately followed the establishment of polytechnic colleges

3.Post-school technical colleges     .

A.were completely free of charge

B.were usually financed by local taxes   

C.depended mainly on students’ tuition(学费)

D.received funds from the central government

4. Further education is     .

A.only for adult students

B.part-time rather than full-time

C.non-vocational rather than vocational

D.created for both young people and adults

5.The proper title for this passage should be “    ”.

A.British Further Education

B.Changes in British Education                         

C.Polytechnics and Universities in Britain

D.Less Opportunity for Higher Education
