人邮第二辑真题TEST 2 READING PART 6
　　Learn your lesson
　　0 Almost all schemes which claim to be able to transform /25 into / 175 overnight
　　00 are scams, to be put straight into the dustbin. The exception, however, it may
　　41 be a little-known new initiative from the government which also effectively does
　　42 just that. The Individual Learning Account scheme is by the latest government
　　43 scheme to persuade us of the value of whole life-long learning. The first million
　　44 people to apply –and there appears to be a long way to go before this limit is
　　45 reached---are eligible for a 150 grant towards the costs of studying ,but provided
　　46 that they contribute at least 25 of their own money . Even the offer covers
　　47 training courses which are obviously work-related but it also extends to more of
　　48 recreational activities . Whilst there will not be government money to encourage
　　49 you, for example, to do an evening class in the cake decorating, there could be
　　50 assistance if you are planning to update on your internet skills. There is also
　　51 the opportunity to benefit in future years from 20 per cent off the cost of training
　　52 for IT courses, the discount goes up to 80 per cent , a measure of the government’s
　　Enthusiasm in ensuring we are prepared for the digital world.

　　《Learn your lesson》，政府的一个鼓励人终身学习的计划。
　　41题，从意思上做。第一句的意思是说，所有号称要一夜之间要将25英镑变为125英镑的计划都是骗人的（scam是骗局）。而政府的一个新行动是例外（exception）。如果有also，那么政府的计划就是和前面一样也是骗局。可这里的意思正好是相反的。所以去掉also。
　　42题，这题答案很明显。一个句子主谓宾都很齐全，scheme是主语，is是谓语。介词by在这里多余。
　　43题，意思重复了。Life-long已经是终身了，life-long learning终身学习，whole多余。而且只能去掉whole而不是life-long，因为是要修饰learning的。
　　44题，正确的
　　45题，provided that，考虑到,后面provided that引导的句子就是前面一部分的条件，没有转折的意思，去掉but。
　　46题，去掉even，要从句子意思上理解。这句是紧跟着上文接着阐述offer当中包含培训课程，就是很简单的叙述事实，没有意思上的强调，不需要even。
　　47题，more recreational activities，还有更多的休闲活动。直接more后面接形容词修饰名词，不需要介词of。
　　48题，正确的
　　49题，do an evening class in cake decorating，上一个关于cake decorating的课程，定冠词the是表示特指的，尤其是上文指代过的，一般是上文提到的。这里就是普通的描述，没有特指的意思，去掉定冠词the。
　　P.S：定冠词多余，这种错法在改错里非常常见，一路从中级考到了高级，多做几套题，对这种错法就有识别能力了。
　　50题，update是及物动词，后面直接跟宾语，update your internet skills，更新技能，不用on.
　　51题，正确的
　　52题，正确的
