听力原文：W: Did you go to a State primary school？
M: Yes, I did. I went to a nursery school first at the age of four, but this was purely voluntary.
W: Can you still remember it？
M: Yes, I have faint, but very pleasant memories of it. It was a delightful place, full of fun and games.
W: You probably don't remember but you must have missed it when you left.
M: Yes, but you know, before seven, school life was very pleasant. It was only later in the Junior School we began to have more formal lessons and even worry about exams.
W: Really？ Did you have to do exams at that age？
M: Yes, we used to then. We had to take an exam at the age of eleven called the "eleven- plus" to see what kind of secondary school we would get into. But this exam is slowly disappearing nowadays.
W: There are four main types of secondary school, aren't there？
M: Yes. Most of the brighter children go to a grammar school, some go to a technical school, and the majority go to a secondary modem school. And then there are the comprehensive schools which cater for all levels of academic ability. These are becoming more and more important.
W: I must say I find your educational system rather complicated, 'and to make matters worse, you call your private schools public schools!
M: Yes, I suppose it is all rather confusing. But like so many other things in Britain our educational system is deeply rooted in tradition and .yet it's changing all the time.
W: Really？ In what ways is it changing？
M: Well, in nearly every way. There is a strong movement towards comprehensive schools, where all children go for secondary education no matter what their ability or background. And they are no longer tested by examination at the age of eleven.
W: But won't the wealthy always be in a privileged position？ They'll always be able to send their children to the best private schools in the country.
M: Not necessarily. If independent schools join the State system and we do away with the idea of grammar schools for the clever and secondary modern schools for the less bright, then every child should have an equal opportunity to do well and go on to higher education.

听力原文： Public schools in the United States are under the control of the individual states. Sometimes the state hands its control over to a smaller area, a county or city.
Most Americans start school at the age of five when they enter kindergarten. Children do not really study at this time. They only attend for half the day and learn what school is like.
Children attend elementary school for the next six years. They ]earn to read and write and work with numbers. They also study the world and its people.
After they leave elementary school, children go to junior high school for three years and senior high school for another three years. This is called secondary education. In some places the children go to elementary school for eight years and high school for four. At any rate, elementary and secondary education together take twelve years to complete, excluding kindergarten.
(36)
A．The individual citizens control.
B．The individual states control.
C．The country controls.

听力原文：W. In Britain, there are four main types of secondary school, aren't there？
M: Ah, basically, yes. There're grammar schools, vocational or technical schools and secondary modern schools and then there are comprehensive schools. In England, however, secondary schools are sometimes divided into 3 main types: Comprehensive schools which are open to all children; grammar schools which are selective and require an entrance examination; and then single-sex high schools.
W: I must say I find your educational system rather complicated. And to make matters worse, you call your private schools pubic schools.
M: Well, I suppose it is all rather confusing especially in England and Wales. The term public school is used for non-profit-making independent schools, and the term private schools for those that are run to make a profit. But like so many other things in Britain, our educational system is deeply rooted in tradition and yet it's changing all the time.
W: Really？ In what ways is it changing？
M: Well, in nearly every way. For instance, there is a very strong movement now towards comprehensive schools. Will all children go for their secondary education no matter what their ability or background？ There are already many of these state schools and many children are no longer tested by examination to be placed in schools according to academic ability. And then again public schools will probably become part of the state's system someday.
W: But will the wealthy always be in a privileged position？ They'll always be able to send their children to the best private schools in the country.
M: Not necessarily. If independent schools join the state's system and we do away with the idea of grammar schools for the clever, then every child should have an equal opportunity to do well and go on to higher education.
