Part V. READING 
Exercise 9. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to 
each of the questions. 
 One way of training for your future occupation in Germany is by pursuing a dual vocational training 
 programme. Such programmes offer plenty of opportunity for on-the-job training and work experience. 
 Programmes usually last between two and three and a half years and comprise theoretical as well as clever students aren't being stretched enough. They need to study things in greater depth. Exams are 
 much, much easier now as well.” 
 Were schools better years ago? Some British teenagers travelled back in time to a 1950s boarding 
 school. They got a big surprise! The first shock came when the teenagers met their new teachers. 
 Dressed in traditional black gowns, they look so frosty and uncaring! They were really authoritarian, 
 too, so anyone caught breaking the rules - talking in classes, mucking about in the playground or 
 playing truant – was in big trouble! Punishments included writing 'lines' or staying after class to do 
 detention. The naughtiest kids were expelled. 
 Things were just as bad after class. At meal times the students had to endure a diet of plain, no-
 nonsense, healthy food. Homework was obligatory and it took ages! Copying essays off the Internet 
 wasn't an option, as personal computers didn't exist in the 1950s!
 At the end of 'term' everyone sat 1950s-style exams. The old exams were much longer than their twenty-
 first century equivalents and involved learning huge amounts of facts by heart. History papers were all 
 dates and battles. Maths papers were trickier, too; calculators weren't around in the 1950s, so the 
 students had to memorise multiplication tables and master long division. Our candidates found this 
 really difficult. 
 The exam results surprised a lot of people. Students predicted to do well in their real-life, twenty-first 
 century exams often got low grades in the 1950s exams. Does this prove modern exams are too easy? 
 Do twenty-first century kids rely too much on modern technology, like calculators and computers? 
 The TV series of That 'll teach 'em! focused on a 1960s vocational school. UK school-kids study a range 
 of academic subjects these days. But in the 1960s, children judged to be less ‘able' went to vocational 
 schools. These helped them learn job skills. Boys studied subjects like metalwork, woodwork or 
 gardening. In some classes, they even learned how to milk goats! The girls' timetables included 
 secretarial skills. They also learned to cook, clean and sew - probably not much fun for most girls.
111. What criticism is sometimes made about modern education in the first paragraph?
 A. Teachers aren't strict enough. 
 B. The syllabus is out of date. 
 C. There's too much stress on exams.
 D. The teaching methods are not good enough. 
112. The word "authoritarian” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ____.
 A. inexperienced B. impolite C. unreasonable D. strict 
113. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the food the students ate at school? 
 A. It wasn't cooked properly. B. It wasn't delicious.
 C. It wasn't nutritious. D. There wasn't much of it.
114. The word "obligatory” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to ____.
 A. compulsory B. difficult C. long D. complicated 
115. According to the passage, how did exams in the 1950s differ from those in the twenty-first century?
 A They covered more subjects. B. It took students less time to do them.
