1 Unit 5 Travelling abroad Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2017·江西重点中学联考) There are a number of ways to obtain a high school diploma, either through online programs, or attending schools or colleges. Yet another form of earning diploma is through various free programs offered by the educational department. Some of the programs offered by the board of education to earn a free high school diploma include External Diploma Program (EDP), Continuing Education Credit Diploma Program, and General Educational Development. In the first type of program, an adult can earn a free diploma by demonstrating his/her skill acquired through life experience. Here, the participant has to meet the advisor weekly after completing a fixed number of tasks in the related field and exhibit the progress. The course duration can vary from four months to two years. The residents of the specified area can earn a free high school diploma through these programs. The second type of program is available for students who have experience in military, occupational, or volunteer services. Here the students can earn their credits through evening classes or through independent study courses. The free high school diploma can also be earned through General Educational Development (GED), a certificate that states that the candidate has high school level academic skills. Free diploma equivalency classes are offered for those applying for free high school diplomas that prepare the students to complete the fivepart exam. It can also be attended by anyone who is interested in improving basic skills. It is often provided to the participant either free of charge or financed by state boards of education. There are a number of fraudulent universities and sites that offer free high school diplomas. While going for a free high school diploma, one has to look for accredited institutes and universities. High School Diploma provides detailed information on High School Diploma, High School Diploma At Home, High School Diploma Online, Fake High School Diploma and more. High School Diploma is affiliated with Graduation Songs. 【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了在美国可以获得免费的高中毕业证的几个项目。 1．How many ways of earning a high school diploma are mentioned in the passage? A. 2. B. 3. C. 4.

A. External Diploma Program B. General Educational Development C. Continuing Education Credit Diploma Program 2
D. accredited institutes 答案与解析：C 细节理解题。该题提问的是正在参军或参过军的人可以通过哪类课程获得免费的高中毕业证。根据关键句并结合第一段最后一句中的“include External Diploma Program (EDP), Continuing Education Credit Diploma Program, and General Educational Development”可知，他们可以通过参加Continuing Education Credit Diploma Program获得免费的高中毕业证。故选C。 【关键句】The second type of program is available for students who have experience in military...

We were planning to drive down together to North Carolina to be with my father who was badly ill. As I waited at the stoplight experiencing this forced slowdown, I noticed Sharper's Florist over to the left. It was the same place where I had experienced many things－floods of memories went through my mind as the light seemed a blessing. I noticed the wine store straight ahead where my father and I had been many times before, picking out the beer of the week. We both liked German beer. The light finally became green and I made my left turn and drove through the poor section of our hometown. I remembered how each Thanksgiving my family would be together. I also remembered how my father would take some time out of each Thanksgiving to make sure there was no one hungry in the neighborhoods surrounding
