D) A writing career, though attractive, is not for every child to pursue. Passage Two Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage. By almost any measure, there is a boom in Interbased instruction. In just a few years, 34 percent of American universities have begun offering some form of distance learning (DL), and among the larger schools, it’s closer to 90 percent. If you doubt the popularity of the trend, you probably haven’t heard of the University of Phoenix. It grants degrees entirely on the basis of online instruction. It enrolls 90,000 students, a statistic used to support its claim to be the largest private university in the country.

Clearly, from the schools’ perspective, there’s a lot of money to be saved. Although some of the more ambitious programs require new investments in servers and works to support collaborative software, most DL courses can run on existing or minimally upgraded (升級(jí) ) systems. The more students who enroll in a course but don’t e to campus, the more the school saves on keeping the lights on in the classrooms, paying doorkeepers, and maintaining parking lots. And, while there’s evidence that instructors must work harder to run a DL course for a variety of reasons, they won’t be paid any more, and might well be paid less. 注意：此部分試題請(qǐng)?jiān)诖痤}卡 2上作答。 62.
