16、een）解析： 16/sixteen 听力原文 British Educational SystemToday Ill talk about the British educational system, including the primary and secondary education and the higher education in Britain. First, Ill briefly introduce the primary and secondary education in Britain. In England and Wales, students study

17、in primary schools from age five until eleven. They attend secondary school until age sixteen . Before graduating, students usually take seven comprehensive exams, called the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) exams. After passing the GCSE exams, students choose to study two to four s

18、ubjects intensely for the GCE Advanced Level exams, called A levels. At eighteen, they enter higher education to focus on a particular subject, called a course. Now lets move on to the higher education in Britain. First Ill talk about the general practices in England and Wales, and then the general

19、practices in Scotland. In England and Wales, prospective university students apply for places through the Universities Central Council on Admissions (UCCA). Students do not apply directly to the universities themselves. Successful candidates are admitted directly into a specific degree course. A deg

20、ree course normally takes three or four years to complete. At most universities students study only one major subject . Each course is structured with a fixed program of classes for the entire three years. Increasingly, universities in the United Kingdom are offering classes on a modular basis, whic

21、h allows students to broaden their studies by creating a more interdisciplinary program. This modularization, however, has not replaced the traditional British degree course with the American concept of credit accumulation. In addition, there is generally a sharp distinction between the arts and sci

22、ences and there is seldom any cross-over between the two. At a British university, more emphasis is placed on independent, self-directed study than in the United States. Required texts and definite reading assignments are less common. In Scotland, there are a variety of tertiary level options availa

23、ble for students, the most important of which are the colleges of further education, the central institutions, teachers colleges and the universities. The colleges of further education provide vocational and technical education, and enroll more students than all other tertiary institutions combined.

24、 Central institutions provide courses leading to the Higher National Diploma (HND), bachelors degrees and some specialized masters degrees. These institutions do not have the authority to directly validate degrees and tend to offer a narrower range of subjects than the universities. Many have close

25、ties to local businesses, offering cooperative work experiences that provide students a period of practical training. Scottish universities are quite distinct from their British counterparts. In fact, they more closely resemble European or American universities. Students are rarely admitted directly

26、 to a degree course. Usually they are admitted to a faculty or simply admitted to the university as a whole. Scottish university students begin with a broad-based program during the first year and choose a specialization after the second or even the third year. Students may also elect to complete a

27、three-year Ordinary degree. This is a broad-based degree that (unlike in England) does not represent a failed Honors degree. 考点 本题出题点在数字信息处。 解析 从题干处的标题Secondary school可知，此处考查的内容与中学教育有关；再从空前的Age可知，要填写的内容是上中学的年龄，讲座中提到了They attend secondary school until age sixteen. 故得答案16或sixteen。 填空项1:_（正确答案：18/eight
