Education officials and industry experts...

    Education officials and industry experts are debating the future of online learning. The discussion is important because hundreds of universities in the United States have recently moved classes online because of the spread of the novel coronavirus(冠状病毒).

For Asha Choksi, the rise of Internet-based or online study programs has led to major improvements in higher education. “It’s actually given a lot more power to students in terms of how, when and where they learn,” the head of research for Pearson Education said.

Classes meet online through video conferencing. In this way, students are able to communicate with each other and their professors even when they are far away from school. However, recent research suggests the majority of college students and professors prefer in-person instruction, because they are concerned that companies supervising(监管)online learning programs are not clear about the policies the schools have.

“Students see in-class lectures as opportunities to engage with instructors, peers, and content.” the researchers wrote. In-person learning is especially important in fields like healthcare and teaching. Online education can never really take its place, said Stephanie Hall, a fellow with the independent policy research group The Century Foundation. “Students need to experience...what they’re learning about, reading about or hearing about in the classroom. And I don’t know yet the degree to which technology can facilitate that.”

“When schools make agreements with online program managers to run their online programs, they often do not make important information available to students,” Hall said. This includes how much control the company has over the design of the program or whether the teacher leading the classes was involved in their design. In addition, many colleges and universities advertise online programs as a low cost opportunity for students. But in some cases, students attending in-person classes get financial aid and online students do not.

1.What does Choksi think of the online study programs?

A.They offer students more choices in study.

B.They reform the country’s education system.

C.They provide advanced scientific knowledge.

D.They promote the development of technology.

2.According to most college students and professors, what’s the advantage of in-person learning?

A.It is convenient.

B.It costs less to study.

C.It can better meet school policies.

D.It can improve students’ communication skills.

3.What does the underlined word “facilitate” probably mean in paragraph 4?

A.change B.apply

C.achieve D.control

4.What is Hall’s attitude towards online education?

A.Hopeful. B.Critical.

C.Uncaring. D.Neutral.

 

1.A 2.C 3.C 4.B 【解析】 这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了由于新冠病毒的传播,美国学校开始线上课程,但是线上课程有利有弊。教育专家就此展开讨论。 1.推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“It’s actually given a lot more power to students in terms of how, when and where they learn,” “实际上,它在学生如何、何时、在哪里学习方面赋予了他们更多的权力,”。由此可知,Choksi 认为线上教育给学生提供了很多选择。结合选项,故选A。 2.推理判断题。根据文章第三段中However, recent research suggests the majority of college students and professors prefer in-person instruction, because they are concerned that companies supervising(监管)online learning programs are not clear about the policies the schools have.然而,最近的研究表明,大多数大学生和教授更喜欢面授式教学,因为他们担心负责监督在线学习项目的公司不清楚学校的政策。由此可知,学生和教授倾向于面授课的原因是可以更好的贯彻学习政策。结合选项,故选C。 3.词义猜测题。根据文章倒数第二段中“Students see in-class lectures as opportunities to engage with instructors, peers, and content.” the researchers wrote. In-person learning is especially important in fields like healthcare and teaching. Online education can never really take its place.“学生将课堂讲座视为与教师、同伴和内容交流的机会。” 研究人员写道。 面授学习在医疗和教学等领域尤其重要。 独立政策研究组织世纪基金会(the century foundation)的研究员斯蒂芬妮 · 霍尔(stephanie hall)表示,网络教育永远不可能真正取代它的地位。 由此可知,学生们需要体验他们在课堂上学到的,阅读的或听到的东西。但是网络教育不知道什么时候能实现这一点。故划线词 “facilitate” 应意为“实现”。结合选项,故选C。 4.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“When schools make agreements with online program managers to run their online programs, they often do not make important information available to students,” Hall said. This includes how much control the company has over the design of the program or whether the teacher leading the classes was involved in their design. In addition, many colleges and universities advertise online programs as a low cost opportunity for students. But in some cases, students attending in-person classes get financial aid and online students do not.霍尔说: “当学校与在线项目经理达成协议来运行他们的在线项目时,他们通常不会向学生提供重要的信息。”。 这包括公司对程序的设计有多大的控制权,或者领导班级的老师是否参与了他们的设计。 此外,许多学院和大学宣传在线课程是为学生提供低成本的机会。 但在某些情况下,参加面授课程的学生可以得到经济资助,而在线课程的学生则得不到。由此可知,Hall并不支持在线教育。故选B。

    When she was ten years old, Isadora Duncan dropped out of school to teach people dance. If that job was left to any other ten-year-old, it would have turned out frustrating, difficult, and a little discouraging.

But Duncan was different. Not only was she already talented enough to earn money even at that age, but she also had a rare kind of confidence that helped her treat troubles as fuel —something to elevate the fire that is already burning inside of her.

It’s no surprise, then, that when she moved to New York to join a theatre company, she found herself restricted. The existing dancing style, their way of operating—all of this seemed to her the work of a misguided past. Duncan was very direct about what she wanted, confidently telling people she had a different vision of dance that she was going to spread in the world. This, naturally, led to ridicule and laughs early on, but as she built up her work, these instances became less frequent. Today, she is remembered as “The Mother of Dance,” with much of the modern art owing its expressive style to her influence. Inspired by the ancient Greeks, she brought the style to life.

In her autobiography (自传), one of the things Duncan frequently refers to as the basis of her expressive spirit is the fact that she had a childhood where she wasn’t constantly watched. The expectations of her mother (who raised her) were open-ended. It was the freedom of this lifestyle that drove her to see what she could do.

Growing up, before she left school, she was told one of two things: that she was either completely useless or that she was a genius. There was nothing in between. Even when she started working, people either bowed to her or they basically ignored her. But there wasn’t one moment Duncan doubted her own genius.

There is an old quotation “if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” And it captures an important truth. At school, Isadora Duncan was a failure. In the dance hall, she gave form to brilliance.

1.What does the underlined phrase “treat troubles as fuel” mean?

A.Duncan used troubles to push her forward towards her dream.

B.Duncan was good at burning away everyday troubles.

C.Troubles turned Duncan into a confident girl.

D.Troubles lit the fire of dancing in Duncan.

2.Which of the following is TRUE about Duncan?

A.Her experience in New York was the foundation of her career.

B.Her teaching job when she was little destroyed her confidence.

C.Her dancing style was not very well received at the beginning.

D.Her mother set higher expectation on her than she could bear.

3.What does the author try to tell the readers in the last paragraph?

A.It is useless climbing a tree to catch fish.

B.Everybody is a genius in his own way.

C.Miseries come from human stupidity.

D.Teachers can impact students greatly.

4.What is this passage mainly about?

A.Isadora Duncan’s childhood and her achievements today.

B.Duncan’s career development and other dancers’ opinions of her.

C.Isadora Duncan’s early experiences and the reasons for her success.

D.Duncan’s high status in the dancing world and her unique expressive style.

Dear 17yearold self

When your Laker dream comes true tomorrow you need to figure out a way to invest in the future of your family This sounds simple and you may think it's a nobrainer but take some time to think on it further

I said INVEST

I did not say GIVE

Let me explain

Purely giving material things to your siblings(兄弟姐妹) may appear to be right decision So you buy them a car a big house pay all of their bill You want them to live a beautiful comfortable life right

But the day will come when you realize that as much as you believed you were doing the right thing you were actually holding them back

You will come to understand that you were taking care of them because it made YOU feel good it made YOU happy to see them smiling and without a care in the world and that was extremely selfish of you While you were feeling satisfied with yourself you were slowly eating away at their own dreams and ambitions You were adding material things to their lives but subtracting the most precious gifts of all

Invest in their future don't just give

Use your success wealth and influence to put them in the best position to realize their own dreams and find their true purpose Put them through school set them up with job interviews and help them become leaders in their own right Hold them to the same level of hard work and dedication that it took for you to get to where you are now and where you will eventually go

I'm writing you now so that you can begin this process immediately and so that you don't have to deal with the hurt and struggle of weaning(断绝) them off of the addiction that you facilitated That addiction only leads to anger hatred and jealousy from everybody involved including yourself

As time goes on you will see them grow independently and have their own ambitions and their own lives and your relationship with all of them will be much better as a result

Trust me setting things up right from the beginning will avoid a ton of tears and headache some of which remains to this day

Much love
