【解析】

本文是一篇议论文。文章论述的是Schooling 和Education之间的差异。

1.A

下文提示“Nevertheless,it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school.”（ 尽管如此，据说今天的孩子们中断了他们去上学的教育。）承接下文，A项Going to school in the United States is generally considered to get an education.（在美国上学通常被认为是受教育的。）切题。该项中的Going to school与下文中的go to school相吻合。故选A。

2.D

根据下文提示“It can take place anywhere,whether in the shower or in the job,whether in a kitchen or on a tractor.”（ 无论是在淋浴间还是在工作中，无论是在厨房里还是在拖拉机上，它都可以在任何地方发生。）承接下文，D项Education can happen freely without any limit.（教育可以自由地进行，没有任何限制。）切题。故选D。

3.C

上文提示“Schooling has a certain predictability,while education quite often produces surprises.”（ 学校教育有一定的可预见性，而教育往往会带来惊喜。）承接上文，C项A conversation may lead a person to discover he knows little of other religions.（一段对话可能会让一个人发现他对其他宗教知之甚少。）切题。该项中的knows little与上文的surprises相吻合。故选C。

4.G

下文提示“Throughout a country,children arrive at school at almost the same time,take assigned seats,are taught by an adult,use similar textbooks,do homework,take exams,and so on.”（ 在整个国家，孩子们几乎在同一时间到校，接受指定的座位，由大人教，使用类似的课本，做作业，参加考试，等等。）承接下文，G项Schooling,on the other hand,is a specific,formalized process,varying little from one setting to the next.（另一方面，学校教育是一个具体的、形式化的过程，从一个环境到另一个环境的变化很小。）切题。故选G。

5.F

下文提示“For example,high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with.（例如，高中生们知道，他们不太可能在自己的课堂上发现他们所在社区的政治问题的真相，或者是最新的电影制作人正在尝试的东西。）承接下文，F项Something has usually been limited by the subjects at school.（在学校里，有些东西通常是受限制的。）该项内容与下文的例子相吻合。故选F。
