Question

    A few months after Wu Xingu was congratulated by teachers for graduating from the university, the 23-year-old has been making his dream of relieving tens of thousands of teachers in China from drowning in marking papers(改卷) a reality.

Yitiku, an online software system based on Wu’s idea, eases the workload of teachers by doing many of the functions that they did, such as selecting the test questions, forming an exam paper, and preparing exercises for the students.

The features of Yitiku may sound quite simple, but this idea won his company millions of dollars from China’s Internet giant Tencent in January. The unexpectedly successful fund raising story became a popular conversation starter among the people in the education business.

“I can say it’s quite an achievement for me and our company. As far as I know, I’m the first CEO born after 1990s that Tencent has invested (投资) in, and we are the first online education company they have invested in.” Wu Xingyu told China Daily.

Different from other online companies that treat students as clients (客户), Yitiku has chosen teachers as their focus. “ We make the work of teachers easy. Usually it takes two to three hours for them to prepare a new exam paper. Now it’s just three clicks.” said Wu. He is quite satisfied with the major feature of the software.

Sitting in his 10-square-meter office in Zhonguancun, a hub of innovation (创新) in Beijing, Wu looks confident and chatty when talking about his business. His fast-speed answers give people an impression that he has years of experience in the online education sector. The fact is that he had been putting most of attention in directing courses at an art college until about a year ago.

【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了23岁的大学毕业生吴兴谷研发在线系统Yitiku，减轻老师批改试卷的工作量。

1.主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“the 23-year-old has been making his dream of relieving tens of thousands of teachers in China from drowning in marking papers(改卷) a reality”可知，本文主要讲述了23岁的大学毕业生吴兴谷研发在线系统Yitiku，减轻老师批改试卷的工作量，故A项正确。

2.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“such as selecting the test questions, forming an exam paper, and preparing exercises for the students”可知，Yitiku有选择试题、生成试卷、为学生准备练习等功能，而没提到教学生这一功能，故C项正确。

3.词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“Sitting in his 10-square-meter office in Zhonguancun,”可知，坐在北京创新中心中关村的仅有十平米的办公室里，由此可知画线词词义为“特别中心”，故A项正确。

4.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The fact is that he had been putting most of attention in directing courses at an art college until about a year ago.”可知，事实上，一年前他还把大部分注意力集中在艺术学院的指导课程上，而本文主要讲的是吴兴谷研发在线系统Yitiku，所以下文应该接着讲他是如何产生研发Yitiku这一想法的，故B项正确。
