题文
A particular quirk(古怪举动)of Canadian education is that there isn’t one system but 13. All 10 provinces and all 3 territories have the right to run their own education systems. It’s established in the Constitution.This means there is no national standard. Nobody agrees on the grade at which one makes the transition from elementary to secondary school, nor on how many years’ schooling is compulsory, nor how many grades there should be before college or university, nor how schools should be funded. Families relocating often get a surprise when they are informed that the children will have to repeat a grade because the one they have just finished does not cover the required courses to pass into the next grade where they are now.
Older children from isolated areas may be sent away to boarding schools, but this practice is falling out of favor. These days children in a very small community are more likely to attend the same school from kindergarten to grade 12(13 in Ontario, 11 in Quebec). In rural areas, pupils are taken to the nearest school in large yellow buses, some spending over an hour on the bus each way. Some never do a spot of homework at home because they always complete it on the bus. With the arrival of computers, high-quality education has now become possible even in very remote areas. It also enables parents to educate their children at home.
Colleges in Canada are sponsored by the state. Fully 75% of Canadian students go on after high school to some sort of further education. Having a university degree is fast becoming the minimum standard for employment but is far from a guarantee of a good job; those with a PhD in Philosophy, if not holding tenure at a university, are likely to be flipping burgers at a fast-food joint.

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“A particular quirk(古.....”主要考查你对 [听力 ]考点的理解。听力
听力题解题技巧：
1、听前预测：
（1）听前集中精力，全身放松，保持最佳的准备状态。
（2）认真阅读各个大题说明，以明确测试的内容、播读次数及答题方式。
（3）迅速阅读试卷上的文字信息，这些信息与录音材料有着密切的联系，可以提供录音所涉及的中心、时间、地点等。带着这些问题，积极主动地预测，可使自己处于主动地位，做到心中有数。
2、听中要诀：
（1）高度重视听好开头的句子或段落，这往往是谈话的中心。
（2）要注意整听。听的过程中，遇到个别词没听清（有可能是由于朗读技巧，如连读，弱读等造成的），这很正常，千万不要死死抓住不放，结果因小失大。要知道，几秒钟会读出几十个词语，而声音一旦消失，做题时肯定毫无依根据。正确的做法是毫不迟疑地跳过去，接着往下听，等录音放完后再凭记忆或依据上下文猜测。
（3）要留意重音。连贯的句子中，信息词（名词、动词、形容词等）在读的时候往往重读，精力放在这些词上便于把握重点。其实，想把每个词都听清楚是不可能的，也没必要。如下面对话时，只要听清加“′”的词即可。
M：′Where are the boys?
W：The boys went to the′concert.
M：Went to′what?
W：A′concert—they went to a′concert.
（4）适当记些笔记。一边听录音，一边随手记些笔记，特别是其中的数字，如日期、时间、年龄、距离或地点，最好记下来，增大回答问题的准确性。但要注意原则，笔记不能影响听音的继续，也不能繁琐凌乱。可用代号、图形或自己明了的其他方式进行记录，脑笔结合记忆。
3、听后补救：
如果某一题没有听懂原文，无法判断正确答案，一不要着急慌张，而不要放弃不答。要根据大脑当时对该部分的声音印象，结合全文，结合题目文字材料，大胆猜测。例如你当时好像听到含有[ɑī]的某个词，这时你就可以想想my，high，fly，sight，five等词的词义，词类是否符合原文语境。总之，三选一意味着你随便猜，也有33%的机率，岂能轻易放过？
听力题注意事项：
1、集中精力，放松精神。
学生在参加听力测试时要充满信心，稳定情绪，沉着应对，切勿情绪不稳，心神不定，因为它不同于笔试答卷。
2、超前阅读，去同存异。
利用答题前的时间和放录音时各小题短暂停顿，可快速浏览所提供选项，注意它们之间的不同之处。
3、静心倾听，快速选择。
学生在阅读选项时一听见播放下一题听力材料，须停止阅读，静心倾听录音，立刻进行选择。如果一时选不出，可以根据录音的大概意思，合理推测，注意千万不要为了一个难题而耽误后面的试题。
4、记录要点，有备无患。
听对话和短文时最好边听边记，用自己平时最熟悉的标记与符号，简单记录一下重要的信息。这样做有助于听力材料播放完毕后逐个小题的去解答，而且有助于回顾形式完整的对话或短文梗概，以备核对复查。
