(A)
Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only
for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to lit them for life.
In some modem countries, it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for
all---whether rich or poor, clever or stupid---one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees refuse to do what they think to be "low "work, and in fact, work with hands is thought to be ditty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor.
We can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and
took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns.
In fact, when we say that all of us 'must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be
educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability, and secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of one's work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.
( )1. The writer wants to prove that _________ ·
A. our society heeds all kinds of jobs
B. our society needs free education for all
C. a farmer is more important than a professor
D. people with university degrees refuse to do what they think to be "low" work
( )2. According to the passage, _________
A. work with hands is dirty and shameful
B. work with hands is "low" work
C. work with hands is the most important
D. we can't regard work with hands as "low" work
( )3. The purpose of education is _________ .
A. to choose a system of education
B. to prepare children mainly for their future work
C. to let everyone receive education fit for him
D. to build a perfect world
( )4. The passage tells us about _________ .
A. the system of education B. the means of education
C. the value of education D. the type of education
(B)(2021·宜昌)
When we first moved here, we didn't have a garden. Mike and I talked about making a large
vegetable garden somewhere in our yard. but we couldn't agree on where. Before we went ahead and dug up the grass, we spent some time thinking about where it would work best. At last, we chose an old sandbox(沙坑) in our front yard to become our garden.

do to turn this sandbox into a space, then plants can grow in it. And they gave us lots of ideas. My sister was the most knowledgeable, so we listened mostly to her.

Next, Mike dug 17 holes. Then we filled them with soil(土壤). It was still too cold to plant
anything, so for days I just stared out the window at these holes. To me, it looked much too untidy. I
advised to fill those holes back and dig new ones. This time we ended up with 10. Much better.
Over the next few weeks, I worked on getting everything planted in my garden. I started by
planting green onion. But I was too excited and planted it too early. Right away it was clear that it wasn’t going to survive. I had to give it up and try something else. Then my next door neighbour gave me red roses to put in my garden. A few days later we went to a greenhouse and came back not with green onion but peppers, tomatoes and so on. Clearly the vegetable and flower garden was slowly becoming our dream garden. Oh well!
