Oxford and Cambridge are universities each having about 12 000 students out of a total of over 250 000 students at all British universities. Eton is a public school, and the best known of the public schools, which in spite of their names, are not really public at all, butindependent and private secondary schools taking boys from the age of thirteen to eighteen years. The public schools in reality form a very small part of the school system of secondary education of Great Britain; only about one out of forty English boys goes to a public school, and one out of 1500-to Eton.Apart from the so-called public schools there is a complete system of state primary and secondary education, which resembles in its general form the state education in most other countries. All children must, by law, receive full-time education between the ages of five and sixteen. Any child may attend, without paying fees, a school provided by the public authorities, and the great majority attend such schools. They may continue, still without paying fees, until they are eighteen. The public schools, although unimportant numerically, have been England's most peculiar and characteristic to educational methods, and they have an immense influence on the whole of English educational practice and on the English social structure.1.What was the purpose of the author to write the passage?A.It was to tell people the difference between Eton on the one hand and Oxford and Cambridge on the other.B.It was to tell people what the public schools in Great Britain are like.C.It was to tell people something about Britain educational system.D.All of the above.2.Which of the following British child is allowed to go to a public school in Great Britain?A.A thirteen-year-old girl.B.A five-year-old girl.C.A thirteen-year-old boy.D.A five-year-old boy.3.Why does the author say that the so-called public school Eton is not "public"?A.Because no girls are admitted in Eton.B.Because parents have to pay fees for their children at Eton.C.Because it belongs to the few, numerically unimportant schools in Britain.D.Because only one fortieth of British boys go to Eton.4.

文章第一句就说:…a picture of the "public schools"；显然，作者写这篇文章的目的是:（B项）告诉人们英国的公立学校是什么样子。

A项是意思是"一方面告诉人们伊顿（Eton college:伊顿公学）与牛津（Oxford）的不同之处，另一方面也告诉人们它与剑桥的不同之处。

文章提到伊顿和牛津学校，但并不旨在比较他们，只说这几所学校都非常出名。

2.C。

文章第一段中:Eton is a public school, ……taking boys from the age of thirteen to eighteen years.我们知道，伊顿学校只接收十三岁到十八岁的男孩，所以只有C符合。

3.C。

为什么作者说被称为公立的伊顿学校并非"公立"？A项文章没有提及，比较少隐藏，上题我们的例句中说到…taking boys from…，知道伊顿接收的学习对象是男孩儿，但这并非其被认为非"公立"的原因；B 项文章没有提及；C项为正确答案，参考文章最后一句:The public schools, although unimportant numerically, have been England's most peculiar and characteristic to educational methods, and they have an immense influence on …。

D项也不是其原因。

4.A。

文章最后一句说得很明白:The public schools,…they have an immense influence on the whole of English educational practice and on the English social structure.故A正确。
