Our demand for water is constantly increasing. Every year there are more and more people in
the world. Factories turn out more and more products and need more and more water. We live in a
world of water. But almost all of it - about 97%-is in the oceans. This water is too salty to be used
for drinking, farming, and manufacturing. Only about 3% of the world's water is fresh. Most of this
water is not easily available to man because it is locked in
glaciers and icecaps. There is as much water on earth today as there ever was or will ever be. Most of
the water we use finds its way to the oceans. There, it is evaporated by the sun. It then falls back to the

It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get as 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 where, 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 reserved grandparent to the people debating
politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist. Whereas schooling has certain
predictability, education quite often produce surprise. A change conversation with a stranger may lead
a person to discover how little is know 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
textbook, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learnt, 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 class 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.
Question 56: What does the author probably mean by using the expression “children interrupt their
education to go to school”?
A. Going to several different schools is educationally beneficial.
B. School vacations interrupt the continuity of the school year.
C. Summer school makes the school year too long.
D. All of life is an education.
Question 57: the word “bounds” is closest in meaning to
A. rules B. experiences C. limits D. expectation
Question 58: the word “they” refers to
A. slices of reality B. similar textbooks C. boundaries D. seats
Question 59: The passage supports which of the following conclusions?
A. Without formal education, people would remain ignorant
B. Education systems need to be radically reformed.
C. Going to school is only part of how people become educated.
D. Education involves many years of professional training.
Question 60: The passage is organized by
A. listing and discussing several educational problems
B. contrasting the meanings of two related words
C. narrating a story about excellent teachers

D. giving examples of different kinds of schools

Our demand for water is constantly increasing. Every year there are more and more people in
the world. Factories turn out more and more products and need more and more water. We live in a
world of water. But almost all of it - about 97%-is in the oceans. This water is too salty to be used
for drinking, farming, and manufacturing. Only about 3% of the world's water is fresh. Most of this

the water we use finds its way to the oceans. There, it is evaporated by the sun. It then falls back to the
earth as rain.

plenty of fresh water, some regions have a water shortage. Rain does not fall evenly over the earth.

It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get as 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 where, 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 reserved grandparent to the people debating
politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist. Whereas schooling has certain
predictability, education quite often produce surprise. A change conversation with a stranger may
lead a person to discover how little is know 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
textbook, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learnt, 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 class 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.
Question 76: What does the author probably mean by using the expression “children interrupt their
education to go to school”?
A. Going to several different schools is educationally beneficial.
B. School vacations interrupt the continuity of the school year.
C. Summer school makes the school year too long.
D. All of life is an education.
Question 77: the word “bounds” is closest in meaning to
A. rules B. experiences C. limits D. expectation
Question 78: the word “they” refers to
A. slices of reality B. similar textbooks C. boundaries D. seats
Question 79: The passage supports which of the following conclusions?
A. Without formal education, people would remain ignorant
B. Education systems need to be radically reformed.
C. Going to school is only part of how people become educated.
D. Education involves many years of professional training.
Question 80: The passage is organized by

correct answer to each of the Questions from 51 to 55
Our demand for water is constantly increasing. Every year there are more and more people in
the world. Factories turn out more and more products and need more and more water. We live in a
world of water. But almost all of it - about 97%-is in the oceans. This water is too salty to be used
for drinking, farming, and manufacturing. Only about 3% of the world's water is fresh. Most of this
water is not easily available to man because it is locked in
glaciers and icecaps. There is as much water on earth today as there ever was or will ever be. Most of
the water we use finds its way to the oceans. There, it is evaporated by the sun. It then falls back to the
earth as rain.
Water is used and reused over again. It is never used up. Although the world as a whole has
plenty of fresh water, some regions have a water shortage. Rain does not fall evenly over the earth.
Some regions are always too dry, and others too wet. A region that usually gets enough rain may
suddenly have a serious dry spell and another region may be flooded with too much rain.

It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get as 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 where, 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 reserved grandparent to the people debating
politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist. Whereas schooling has certain
predictability, education quite often produce surprise. A change conversation with a stranger may
lead a person to discover how little is know 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
textbook, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learnt, 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 class 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.
Question 76: What does the author probably mean by using the expression “children interrupt their
education to go to school”?

A. Going to several different schools is educationally beneficial.
B. School vacations interrupt the continuity of the school year.
C. Summer school makes the school year too long.
D. All of life is an education.
Question 77: the word “bounds” is closest in meaning to
A. rules B. experiences C. limits D. expectation
Question 78: the word “they” refers to
A. slices of reality B. similar textbooks C. boundaries D. seats
Question 79: The passage supports which of the following conclusions?
A. Without formal education, people would remain ignorant
B. Education systems need to be radically reformed.
C. Going to school is only part of how people become educated.
D. Education involves many years of professional training.
Question 80: The passage is organized by
A. listing and discussing several educational problems
B. contrasting the meanings of two related words
C. narrating a story about excellent teachers
D. giving examples of different kinds of schools
