问题     In the 1997 general-election campaign, "Education, Education" was Tony Blair’s pet phrase. Times change quickly. Education is going rapidly out of fashion. "Learning" (to be exact, "lifelong learning") is New Labour’s new buzzword (时髦语). The shift from "education" to "learning" reflects more than a change of language. It stems from both educational research and left-wing ideas. During the 1980s, British educationalists got some new American ideas. One was the notion that traditional examinations do not test the full range of people’s abilities. Another was the belief that skills are not necessarily learned from teachers in a conventional classroom. People can pick them up in all sorts of ways.
    All this echoed left-wing ideas that traditional teaching methods were not sufficiently adaptable to the needs of individual learners. Advocates of lifelong learning argue that it merely describes what has changed in education in the past decade. And there are now hundreds of schemes in which pupils learn outside the classroom.
    Until now, education has been changing from below. In the next few weeks, the government will help from above. One of its main projects for lifelong learning is about to begin its first pilot programmes. With funding of $ 44 million in its first year, it will coordinate a new network of "learning centres" throughout the country. Traditional institutions, such as schools and colleges, will provide training at some non-traditional places of learning, such as supermarkets, pubs, and churches. The theory is that in such places students will feel more at ease, and therefore will be better motivated, than in a classroom.
    The new schemes allow consumers of education to exercise complete choice over where, what and when they learn. In the rest of the state-run education sector, the government still seems to be committed to restricting choices as much as possible. If these programmes succeed, they could improve the skills of Britain’s workforce.
It can be inferred from the passage that the new projects______.
选项 A、are started from below
B、have begun in the past decade
C、will allow students to have complete control over their learning
D、will be carried out in the traditional institutions
答案C
解析 本题是一道引申推断类问题。问我们可以从文章中推断出新计划会怎样。根据最后一段第一句，新的计划使教育消费者对于学习地点、内容和时间做出全面选择。即可以使学生完全控制自己的学习。因此，本题的正确答案应是C。A“从下层开始”。从第三段第一、二、三句话中我们了解到，到目前为止，教育的变化来自于下层(指政府方面还没有法规支持)。在今后的几个星期里，政府将从上层提供帮助。终身教育的一个工程即将启动其实验项目。可见，新的项目尚未启动。B“在过去的10年中已经启动了”。这个说法与原文不符。文章第二段指出，虽然过去10年中教育已发生变化，但新项目还没有正式启动。D“将在传统的教育机构实施”。根据最后一段第二句，在国家主管的其他教育部门，政府似乎还在尽量多地限制选择。
