Upon the creation of the United States, one of the core concepts on which the hopes for the new democracy were pinned was the ideal that its citizens would be enlightened individuals with clearly articulated rights and the opportunity for individual achievement and education. It was believed that in a free nation where the power belongs to the people, the commitment to education defines the progress of that democracy and is the catalyst for future progress. This core value has not only stood the test of time but has also grown in importance. In this new Information Era and international economy, education is an increasingly vital commodity, a precursor of potential success and a driving force of chance. It is important to recognize, however, that we approach education today differently than in the past, partly because the kinds of jobs people had didn’t require the kind of basic education and specialized training that is often required in the workforce today. In the 1950s, for instance, only 20 percent of American jobs were classified as professional, 20 percent as skilled; and 60 percent as unskilled. Today, our world has changed. The proportion of unskilled jobs has fallen to 20 percent, while jobs now account for at least 60 percent of the workforce. Even more important, almost every job today increasingly requires a combination of academic knowledge and practical skills that require learning throughout a lifetime. Question 28: Education is defined in this passage as a driving force of chance because ___ A. without education, no changes could have happened in American society so far. B. the government of the United States wants to drive social changes in their own ways. C. education has helped to bring about and orient most changes in the American workforce. D. any American citizen who wants to changes his driving license must be very well-educated. Question 29: The passage shows the percentage of jobs that require higher training in the US___ between 1950s and now. A. has remained the same B. has changed dramatically C. has been reversed D. has changed slightly Question 30: The phrase “enlightened individuals” in the first sentence most likely means “people who ___.” A. always appear brilliant-looking in publicB. have often been well-exposed to light C. have acquired an adequate level of educationD. bring light to anywhere they go Question 31: In order to become a good American citizen today, in the author’s point of view, any individual must ___ 2
3.
