Read the passage and choose the best answer.

It's called 42 - the name taken from the answer to the meaning of life, from the science fiction series The
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. 42 was founded by French technology billionaire Xavier Niel, whose backing
means there are no tuition fees and accommodation is free. Mr Niel and his co-founders come from the world of
technology and start-ups, and they are trying to do to education what Facebook did to communication and Airbus
to accommodation.
Students at 42 are given a choice of projects that they might be set in a job as a software engineer - perhaps
to design a website or a computer game. They complete a project using resources freely available on the Internet
and by seeking help from their fellow students, who work alongside them in a large open-plan room full of
computers. Another student will then be randomly assigned to mark their work.
The founders claim this method of learning makes up for shortcomings in the traditional education system,
which they say encourages students to be passive recipients of knowledge. “Peer-to-peer learning develops students
with the confidence to search for solutions by themselves, often in quite creative and ingenious ways."
10
 Like in computer games, the students are asked to design and they go up a level by completing a project.
They graduate when they reach level 21, which usually takes three to five years. And at the end, there is a certificate
but no formal degree. Recent graduates are now working at companies including IBM, Amazon, and Tesla, as well
as starting their own firms.
"The feedback we have had from employers is that our graduates are more apt to go off and find out
information for themselves, rather than asking their supervisors what to do next," says Brittany Bir, chief operating
officer of 42 in California and a graduate of its sister school in Paris. Ms Bir says 42's graduates will be better able
to work with others and discuss and defend their ideas - an important skill in the "real world” of work. “This is
particularly important in computer programming, where individuals are notorious for lacking certain human
skills," she says.
But could 42's model of teacherless learning work in mainstream universities? Brittany Bir admits 42's
methods do not suit all students. "It suits individuals who are very disciplined and self-motivated, and who are not
scared by having the freedom to work at their own pace," she says.

Question 151: According to the passage, 42 is ____.

A. a kind of school B. a type of accommodation
C. an innovation in technology D. a tool of virtual communication
Question 152: The word "them" in paragraph 2 refers to ____.

D. a help that students at 42 get for their work
Question 154: What do 42's graduates receive on completion of their course?

Read a text about common wedding rituals in the USA and answer the questions that follow.

The system of higher education had its origin in Europe in the Middle Ages, when the first universities were
established. In modern times, the nature of higher education around the world, to some extent, has been determined
by the models of influential countries such as France and Germany.
Both France and Germany have systems of higher education that are basically administered by state
agencies. Entrance requirements for students are also similar in both countries. In France, an examination called
the baccalauréat is given at the end of secondary education. Higher education in France is free and open to all
students who have passed this baccalauréat. Success in this examination allows students to continue their higher
education for another three or four years until they have attained the first university degree called a licence in
France.
Basic differences, however, distinguish these two countries' systems. French educational districts, called
académies, are under the direction of a rector, an appointee of the national government who is also in charge of
universities in each district. The uniformity in curriculum throughout the country leaves each university with little
to distinguish itself. Hence, many students prefer to go to Paris, where there are better accommodations and more
cultural amenities for them. Another difference is the existence in France of prestigious higher educational
institutions known as grandes écoles, which provide advanced professional and technical training. Most of these
schools are not affiliated with the universities, although they too recruit their students by giving competitive
examinations to candidates. The grandes écoles provide rigorous training in all branches of applied science and
technology, and their diplomas have a somewhat higher standing than the ordinary licence.
In Germany, the regional universities have autonomy in determining their curriculum under the direction
of rectors elected from within. Students in Germany change universities according to their interests and the
strengths of each university. In fact, it is a custom for students to attend two, three, or even four different universities
in the course of their undergraduate studies, and the majority of professors at a particular university may have
taught in four or five others. This high degree mobility means that schemes of study and examination are marked
by a freedom and individuality unknown in France.
France and Germany have greatly influenced higher education systems 20cd the world. The French, either
through colonial influence or the work of missionaries, introduced many aspects of their system in other countries.
The German the first to stress the importance of universities as research facilities, and they also created a sense of
them as emblems of a national mind.

Question 159. What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. The nature of education around the world in modern times
B. Systems of higher education in France and Germany

 C. The origin of higher education system in Europe
D. The influence of France and Germany on educational systems of other countries
