问题 Life-Long Learning In the 1997 general-election campaign, "Education, Education" was Tony Blair's pet phrase. Time changes 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 programs. With funding of $ 44 million in its first year, it will coordinate a new network of "learning centers" 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 sectors (部门) , the government still seems to be committed to restricting choices as much as possible. If these programs succeed, they could improve the skills of Britain's workforce. In the second paragraph, the writer suggests that（）

选项 A.traditional exams can test the full range of people's abilities. B.there are other ways for pupils to learn skills. C.pupils can learn little from teachers in a conventional classroom. D.the notion of lifelong learning is only the result of educational research.

答案 B

解析细节题。题干：在第二段中，作者暗示____。第二段提到传统教学方法不能满足个体学习者的需求，一生学习的理念描述了教育发生的变化，还讲到现在有成百的计划可供学生在课堂之外学习。可见B项“学生还有其他方式学习技能”为正确答案。
