[简答题]Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:
Reading is not the only way to acquire knowledge of preceding work. There is another large reservoir which may be called experience, and the college student will find that every craftsman has something he can teach and will teach gladly to any college student who does not look down upon them.
The information from these quarters differs from that in textbooks and papers chiefly in that its theoretical part －the explanations of why things happen — is frequently quite fantastic. But the demonstration and report of what happens, and how it happens, are sound even if the reports are in completely unscientific terms. Presently the college student will learn, in this case also, what to accept and what to reject. One important thing for a college student to remember is that if Aristotle could talk to the fisherman, so can he.

[填空题]Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.
There were 1,300 schools who did not send a single student to Oxbridge(牛津剑桥) between 2006--2009. Let’s assume that there were at least some students in these schools who, with some more help, could convince admissions tutors to give them a place.
My proposal is to let the private sector find and coach these students, outside of normal school hours. In each geographical region, grant several private tutoring firms state contracts to scout and tutor for prestigious university entrance. They can sign up qualifying students and allocate them tutoring, outside of school hours, from this contract budget. A bonus will be awarded for each successful student.
The private tutoring firm will be free to sign up and release students promptly, they should be able to allocate their resources as they see fit, and not be compelled to retain students who, for example, they regard as not sufficiently committed. A

One of the world’s most profitable news organizations is Fox News, an American cable-news channel that is part of Rupert Murdoeh’s News Corporation.
