19、nto existence in 1976 following the merger of Isleworth Polytechnic with part of Chiswick Polytechnic. Both parent colleges, in various guises, enjoyed a long tradition of service to the community dating back to the 1890s. The college is located at London Road, Isleworth, on a site occupied by the V

20、ictorian house of the Pears family, Spring Grove House. An earlier house of the same name on this site had been the home of Sir Joseph Banks, the botanist who named Botany Bay with Captain Cook in 1770. Later he founded Kew Gardens. Situated at the heart of West London, West Thames College is ideall

21、y placed to serve the training and education needs of local industry and local people. But its influence reaches much further than the immediate locality. Under its former name, Hounslow Borough College, it had already established a regional, national and international reputation for excellence. In

22、fact, about eight percent of its students come from continental Europe and further afield, whilst a further 52 percent are from outside the immediate area.

23、hat first class reputation. These days there is no such thing as a typical student. More than half of West Thames Colleges 6000 students are over 19 years old. Some of these will be attending college part-time under their employers training schemes. Others will want to learn new skills purely out of

The college is also very popular with 16 - 18 year olds, who see it as a practical alternative to a further two years at school. They want to study in the more adult atmosphere the college provides

25、. They can choose from a far wider range of subjects than it would be practical for a sixth form to offer. If they want to go straight into employment they can still study at college to gain qualifications relevant to the job, either on a day-release basis or through Network or the Modern Apprentice

West Thames College 1996 21 Paragraph A 22 Paragraph C 23 Paragraph E 24 Paragraph F 25 Paragraph G 26 Paragraph H 26 Someone once put forward an attractive though unlikely theory. Throughout the Earths annual revolution around the sun there is one point of space always hidd

40、en from our eyes. This point is the opposite part of the Earths orbit, which is always hidden by the sun. Could there be another planet there, essentially similar to our own, but always invisible? If a space probe today sent back evidence that such a world existed it would cause not much more sensat

41、ion than Sir William Herschels discovery of a new planet, Uranus, in 1781. Herschel was an extraordinary man no other astronomer has ever covered so vast a field of work and his career deserves study. He was born in Hanover in Germany in 1738, left the German army in 1757, and arrived in England the

42、 same year with no money but quite exceptional music ability. He played the violin and oboe and at one time was organist in the Octagon Chapel in the city of Bath. Herschels was an active mind, and deep inside he was conscious that music was not his destiny; he therefore read widely in science and t

43、he arts, but not until 1772 did he come across a book on astronomy. He was then 34, middle-aged by the standards of the time, but without hesitation he embarked on his new career, financing it by his professional work as a musician. He spent years mastering the art of telescope construction, and eve

44、n by present-day standards his instruments are comparable with the best. Serious observation began in 1774. He set himself the astonishing task of reviewing the heavens, in other words, pointing his telescope to every accessible part of the sky and recording what he saw. The first review was made in

45、 1775; the second, and most momentous, in 1780- 1781. It was during the latter part of this that he discovered Uranus. Afterwards, supported by the royal grant in recognition of his work, he was able to devote himself entirely to astronomy. His final achievements spread from the sun and moon to remo

46、te galaxies(of which he discovered hundreds), and papers flooded from his pen until his death in 1822. Among these there was one sent to the Royal Society in 1781, entitled An Account of a Comet. In his own words: On Tuesday the 13th of March, between ten and eleven in the evening , while I was exam

47、ining the small stars in the neighbourhood of H Geminorum, I perceived one that appeared visibly larger than the rest; being struck with its uncommon magnitude, I compared it to H Geminorum and the small star in the quartile between Auriga and Gemini, and finding it to be much larger than either of

48、them, suspected it to be a comet. Herschels care was the hallmark of a great observer; he was not prepared to jump to any conclusions. Also, to be fair, the discovery of a new planet was the last thought in anybodys mind. But further observation by other astronomers besides Herschel revealed two cur

49、ious facts. For a comet, it showed a remarkably sharp disc; furthermore, it was moving so slowly that it was thought to be a great distance from the sun, and comets are only normally visible in the immediate vicinity of the sun. As its orbit came to be worked out the truth dawned that it was a new planet far beyond Saturns realm, and that the reviewer of the heavens had stumbled across an unprecedented prize. Herschel wanted to call it georgium sidus(Star of George)in honour of his royal patron King Georg
