Question

A quality education is the basic liberator．it can free people from poverty, giving them the power to greatly improve their lives and take a productive place in society．It can also free communities and countries, allowing them to jump forward into periods of wealth and social unity that otherwise would not be possible． 　　For this reason, the international community has devoted itself to getting all the world’s children into primary school by 2015, a task known as Education for All． 　　Can education for aIl be achieved by 2015?The answer is undoubtedly“yes,”although it is a difficult task．If we now measure the goal in terms of children successfully completing at least five years of primary school, instead of just enrolling(注册)for classes, which used to be the measuring stick for education, then the task becomes even more difficult．Only 32 countries were formerly believed to be at risk of not achieving education for all on the basis of enrollment．The number rises to 88 if completion of primary school is used as the standard． 　　Still, the goal is achievable with the right policies and the right support from the international community．59 of the 88 countries at risk can reach universal primary completion by 2015 if they bring the effectiveness and quality of their education systems into line with standards observed in higher-performing systems．They also need great increases in outside support．The 29 countries falling farthest behind will not reach the goal without extra fast speed of progress．But this is achievable with creative solution, including use fo information technologies, enough foreign aid, and fewer people living in poverty． 　　A key lesson of experience about what makes development effective is that a country’s ability to use aid well depends heavily on its policies, institutions and management．Where a country scores well on these, foreign assistance can be highly effective． (1) In the first paragraph, the author suggests that a quality education can ________． [　　] A． tree countries from foreign rules B． give people freedom C． speed up social progress D． liberate people from any pressure (2) Ideally, the goal of the program of Education for All is to ________ by 2015． [　　] A． enroll all the world’s children into primary school B． get all the world’s children to complete primary school C． give quality education to people of 88 countries D． support those devoted to changing their education systems (3) ________ countries are now at risk of not achieving education for alI on the basis of completing 5 years of primary school． [　　] A． 88 B． 32 C． 29 D． 59 (4) According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as the right policy?
