Open or distance learning has had a major effect on higher education through the Open University, the only university to provide education exclusively for adult learners studying at a distance. Our 100,000 students are currently studying at the Open University. We found limited development of distance learning in the case studies, with the exception of some postgraduate and professional courses. Even here, however, there seemed to be limits on further growth because of the high costs involved in setting up new distance learning courses, as well as uncertainties of demand (particularly in terms of the perceived financial returns on study). One of the case study universities provided video facilities and visiting staff to a rural area for a group of undergraduate (大学本科在校的) students about 50 miles away. This was a new development which was working well and likely to be expanded to involve other universities.The main reason for general lack of development of distance learning, especially at the undergraduate level, may be that other universities have been unable to afford the considerable set-up costs and student support facilities. As costs of technology come down this might change. The Open Learning Foundation is developing connections between universities to set open learning approaches within existing programs of study and thus encourage their greater use. This is seen as likely to develop further in the future.1.The Open University provides an education for_________________.A. students who do not like attending regular universitiesB. students who failed the College Entrance ExaminationC. students who are adults and away from a universityD. students who are limited in their ability to learn2.Among other things, the further growth of distance learning atpostgraduate and professional levels is limited by____________________.A. the high costs involvedB. a low student demandC. a lack of educationD. the poor rural technology3.The attempt of one case study university to provide equipmentand staff to a rural group of students _________.A. would be expandedB. did not work wellC. might help learningD. could cost a lot4.The cost of setting up a distance learning program mightchange ______________.A. as new developments are madeB. as more students take classes thereC. as the Open University helps moreD. as technology becomes cheaper5.The tone of this passage can best be described as________________.A. discouragingB. encouragingC. persuasiveD. scientificQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog. Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a step back from the closeness of human interaction. With email and instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.As almost every imaginable contact between human beings becomes automatic by machine, the alienation quotient goes up. You can't even call a person to get the phone number of another person anywhere. Phone assistance is almost always fully automatic by machine. Pumping gas at the station? Why say good morning to the worker when you can use your credit card at the pump and save yourself the bother of human contact? Placing money at the bank? Why talk to a clerk who might live in the neighborhood when you can just put your credit card into the ATM?Pretty soon you won't have the hard task of making eye contact at the grocery store. Some grocery chains are using a self-scanner so you can check yourself out, avoiding those annoying clerks who look at you and ask how you are doing.6.The effect of increased communication technology is____________.A. the retreat of human closenessB. the lack of care for neighborsC. the saving of more free timeD. the advance of our contacts7.If his mom has a question, he will ____________.A. find new ways to reach herB. send her an email messageC. try to get her a voice machineD. answer through voice mail8.Judging from the context, the word "alienation" (Line 2,Paragraph 2) means ___________.A. relationshipB. closenessC. strangenessD. stress9.ATMs in banks have changed life by __________.A. making it more difficult to want human contactB. making it faster to receive money from banksC. making it easier to obtain bank credit cardsD. making it unnecessary to talk with bank clerks10.The writer's attitude toward advances in communicationstechnology may be described as _______________.A. unconcernedB. criticalC. positiveD. uninterestedQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the same passage or dialog.It might be surprising for some people to believe that, in today'scomputer-and-Internet-driven society, there are some book publishers that are still committed to traditional books. Maybe the most famous encyclopedia company, The Encyclopaedia Britannica, which dates back to the 18th century, is planning to release their largest set of books in 2001. This 40-volume set will be the largest printed in its 231-year history.Because of the success of recent Internet and computer encyclopedias, some people have suggested that the publishers could turn their back on print. However, company representative Paul Hoffman said the company is committed to paper and ink."There is still a place for books, even with all of the computer encyclopedias. And many people around the world still want books," he said.Encyclopedias, in book form, are common in library collections and on school shelves. They are often used in student research. And none are used more than those published by the Encyclopedia Britannica.Even so, the company is selling fewer and fewer books and more and more computer encyclopedias, possibly because of the price. The books, US $1450 for a 32-book set, are too expensive for people. The computerized version, which contains all the same information, costs only a 10th of the price.11.What about the Encyclopedia Britannica is so surprising?A. The company is committed to publishing books.B. The company is selling Internet encyclopedias.C. The company is still open after so many years.D. The company is planning to quit making books.12.What will make the 2001 set of books different from the othersets?A. It will be the most sold.(To be shown in 1 day.)Total: 82正确率:82% => 就此结束考试,返回我的课程。

She frowned at the business report, making an effort to (compose) herself before she talked to the employees at the upcoming meeting.9. A crucial factor is that one witness' evidence, though (plausible) , may be rejected because it is contradicted by another witness whose evidence is already proved correct.10. Windsor Middle School has been famous for zero (tolerance) to violence and emphasis on respect for its students and rules.●Word Building1.fate2.horizon3.mechanic4.occasion5.proportion6.logical7.denymercial9.relative10.prior11.continue12.actual1.fatal2.horizontal3.mechanical4.occasional5.proportional6.logic7.denialmerce9.relativity10.priority11.continuity / continual12.actuality1.

For example, in Western cultures brides often choose a white wedding dress, while in China the traditional wedding dress is in red. Though white has become the most preferred color for wedding gowns across the world today, this was not a widespread trend before the Victorian era. White became a popular option in 1840, when Queen Victoria wore a white gown at her wedding. The official wedding photograph was widely published, and many brides chose white to become the followers of the Queen. Many people believed that the color white symbolized virginity, though this was not the original intention. As far as the style is concerned, wedding dresses were once typically short in the front with a longer train in the back. This tendency continued until the late 1960s, when it became popular to revert to long, full-skirted designs.婚纱礼服的颜色和款式可取决于婚礼参与者的宗教和文化。

Maybe the most famous encyclopedia company, The Encyclopaedia Britannica, which dates back to the 18th century, is planning to release their largest set of books in 2001. This 40-volume set will be the largest printed in its 231-year history.Because of the success of recent Internet and computer encyclopedias, some people have suggested that the publishers could turn their back on print. However, company representative Paul Hoffman said the company is committed to paper and ink."There is still a place for books, even with all of the computer encyclopedias. And many people around the world still want books," he said.Encyclopedias, in book form, are common in library collections and on school shelves. They are often used in student research. And none are used more than those published by the Encyclopedia Britannica.Even so, the company is selling fewer and fewer books and more and more computer encyclopedias, possibly because of the price. The books, US $1450 for a 32-book set, are too expensive for people. The computerized version, which contains all the same information, costs only a 10th of the price.11.What about the Encyclopedia Britannica is so surprising?A.
