Many students take Internetbased courses mainly because they can ________. 　　A) save a great deal on traveling and boarding expenses 　　B) select courses from various colleges and universities 　　C) work on the required courses whenever and wherever 　　D) earn their academic degrees with much less effort 　　65. What accounts for the high dropout rates for online students? 　　A) There is no mechanism to ensure that they make the required effort. 　　B) There is no strict control over the academic standards of the courses. 　　C) The evaluation system used by online universities is inherently weak. 　　D) Lack of classroom interaction reduces the effectiveness of instruction. 　　66. According to the passage, universities show great enthusiasm for DL programs for the purpose of ________. 　　A) building up their reputation 　　B) upgrading their teaching facilities 　　C) providing convenience for students 　　D) cutting down on their expenses 　　這是一篇講述網(wǎng)絡(luò)遠(yuǎn)程教育的文章，全文較為客觀地闡述了網(wǎng)絡(luò)遠(yuǎn)程教育的現(xiàn)狀，說明性較強(qiáng)。 　　B，父母應(yīng)該密切關(guān)注孩子們參與的活動。由此可見，作者當(dāng)初之所以要主動指導(dǎo)女兒，是自信自己的知識和經(jīng)驗(yàn)可以對女兒提供幫助，只是結(jié)果不盡如人意。 　　C，她不想在麗貝卡如此渴望幫助時(shí)使她失望。首先，從對A的分析可知，她并不在意是否獲得優(yōu)勝；其次，從文中大體可知她早已決定參加比賽，媽媽的幫助應(yīng)該是后來的事情，那么在決定參加比賽時(shí)她就不一定考慮過媽媽的幫助。 　　59. B 　　題目問麗貝卡想要參加今年的寫作比賽的原因。文中只說作者在衛(wèi)冕比賽優(yōu)勝時(shí)有壓力，而不是寫作新作品時(shí)，因此A的說法不對。 　　D，麗貝卡從網(wǎng)絡(luò)上汲取了很多寫作材料。從這一句可以看出，供孩子們消遣娛樂的活動確實(shí)很多，可以由此推出A的結(jié)論。 　　57. A 　　題目問從第一段可以得知什么。 　　D，現(xiàn)在的女性在追求科研生涯時(shí)遇到的問題較以前少。而在這句話之后，作者給出了結(jié)果：in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science，45個(gè)學(xué)生完全投入到科學(xué)之愛中。 　　D，追求科學(xué)研究的女生比以前多了。這個(gè)詞組的選用也暗示了作者是在為數(shù)字的由少到多而滿意。而作者要斗爭的是所有遭受的成見，D所說的這其中一種成見不可能是題目所說的整個(gè)時(shí)期內(nèi)一直都要斗爭的對象。 　　B說是來自她的圈內(nèi)圈外的不公平指責(zé)。這樣的話，符合這個(gè)意思的只有A?！?　　結(jié)合以上因素，判斷本題應(yīng)該選擇B。在我的人生中，有那么一段時(shí)間，人們總是問我，在一個(gè)被男性主導(dǎo)的領(lǐng)域中工作都會發(fā)生什么故事。 　　文章的內(nèi)容雖然涉及了社會問題，但切入角度是主觀第一人稱，語言修辭上更為接近散文（essay）的風(fēng)格，所以相對于議論文、說明文較容易理解。作者以第一人稱的形式，以親身的經(jīng)歷來說明女性在面對性別歧視時(shí)應(yīng)該采取不屑一顧的態(tài)度。 　　B，它能使作家產(chǎn)生新的想法。自由寫作的特點(diǎn)是幫助作家把最初最原始的想法記錄下來，這一步并不要求清楚地思考，也就不對作家們構(gòu)成問題。因此，作家們的共同問題應(yīng)該是修改時(shí)間過緊。 　　B， 選擇一個(gè)適當(dāng)?shù)念}目。 　　59. C 　　題目問寫作第一個(gè)步驟的主要目標(biāo)是什么。文中提到putting their ideas in raw form時(shí)是要強(qiáng)調(diào)想法如果不進(jìn)行修改則不會被人理解，想法能夠?qū)懴聛韺?shí)際上已經(jīng)是流暢寫作的結(jié)果了，也就不存在妨礙問題。所以并不能說始終處于沖突狀態(tài)。 　　A，一個(gè)人不可能既會用創(chuàng)造性思維又會用批判性思維。按照常理來講，這句話是應(yīng)該與前文斷開、自成一段的，原因是它與前文實(shí)際上是總分關(guān)系。作者隨后馬不停蹄提出了第一點(diǎn)寫作方法，The distinction is between the creative mind and the critical mind，即批判思維與創(chuàng)造思維不能同時(shí)共存。意思就是二者不可同時(shí)使用。從文中論述可知，只有當(dāng)人們想同時(shí)使用二者時(shí)，這二者才會發(fā)生沖突，如果一前一后使用則不會。 　　A，把原始的粗糙想法拿來與人分享。抓住稍縱即逝的想法實(shí)際上是寫作的第一步，而修改語法是其妨礙因素。因此A不對。從第四段的this will take more time than you actually have，到第四段的Move back and forth until you run out of time，寫作者必須和時(shí)間賽跑，才能在時(shí)間用完時(shí)將文章修改完畢。 　　D，自由寫作不能幫助作家清楚地思考。也就是對文章草稿進(jìn)行修改、精煉的意思，符合最后一段對批判思維的描述。Passage Two 　　I don’t ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it’s like to work in a field dominated by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of spacetime and the nature of black holes. 　　At 19, when I began studying astrophysics, it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my . at MIT and then as a postdoctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement—jobs, research papers, awards—was viewed through the lens of gender (性別) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus (相對于) right brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind. 　　Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually bee my reply to any and all provocations: I don’t talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn’t want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I don’t study sociology or political theory. 　　Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women’s college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how may of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer, 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don’t dismiss those concerns. Still, I don’t tell them “war” stories. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that’s a sight worth talking about. 　　62.
