9、you can earn a degree from a major university without ever having sat in one of their classrooms. Many colleges and universities are offering online courses and degree programs now. Online Learning Programs With a computer and an Internet connection, you can earn a degree from home, work, or anywher

10、e else for that matter. Online degree programs follow much the same routines as traditional learning, with a few twists. There are lectures, but they wont be in person. There are assignments (作业) , but you wont hand them to your instructor. In most situations, you are free to go to class when it fit

11、s your schedule. If you get a phone call during class, you dont have to miss anything. If you get sick, you dont have to ask for someones notes, and you just visit the lecture later. Youll communicate with your instructor by e-mail, chat room and instant messaging. Your classroom will live in a spec

12、ial software program. Contrary to popular belief, you will have close contact with other students and the instructor. Evaluating the Program There are a lot of questions to ask before you make your selection, such as: How do students interact with each other? Online programs can use chat rooms, inst

13、ant messaging, teleconferencing, and video conferencing to communicate. The key is to find a program that has this interaction built into it and even requires it. What kind of reputation does the school have? It may seem simple-a good school will have a good online program. This reputation, however,

14、 may not be as straightforward as you think. Its not uncommon for a great school to have a weak program or two. So youd better look at the overall quality of the school and make a judgment. The Employers View As more and more employees get online degrees and use them in the workforce(职场) , hiring ma

15、nagers will begin to feel more secure about the quality of education these people have.56. In which way is online education special? A. If you get sick, youll miss the lecture. B. There are lectures, but you dont need to meet the lecturers. C. If you get a phone call during class, you will miss some

16、thing. D. There are assignments, and you must hand them to your instructor.57. What is the most important part of online communication? A. To use e-mails. B. To look for a program with interaction. C. To use chat rooms and instant messaging. D. To use teleconferencing and video conferencing.58. For

17、whom is the passage probably written? A. College students. B. Hiring managers. C. Adult students. D. High school students. BGeneral Electric has found robots far more productive in some work than human workers. In one case, a robot saved enough to pay for itself in ten months. At Ford Motor Company,

18、 about fifty small robots are deftly fitting light bulbs into dashboards and speakers into car radios.The next phase（阶段）of the computer revolution may well turn out to be the robot revolution. Robots have been fixtures in comedy and science fiction for a long time, but the first industrial robot was

19、nt used in the United States until 1961. Industrial robots scarcely resemble the stereotyped humanoid with flashing eyes and a combinations chest. Theyre basically just combinations of a computer with very deft and efficient producing machines. Whats really new, of course, is the extent to which the

20、se electronic wonders are transforming the way people work and the composition of the work force, especially in Japan. There are about 36,000 robots working in Japan and approximately 6,500 in the United States. In early 1982, Raymond Donovan, U.S. Secretary of Labor, predicted that by 1990 half the

21、 workers in U.S. factories would be specialists trained to service and repair robots.Its easy to see why these “steel-collar workers” can be preferable to their human counterparts(同仁). They cause fewer personnel problems: theyre never absent, and they never ask for more holidays, take vacations, or

22、file grievances. They also give more consistent attention to quality control, are more efficient and effective performers, and are definitely cheaper to keep. Robots, which cost about $30,000 to $150,000 each, usually work two shifts a day. The displaced workers would draw salaries and benefits of a

23、bout $790,000 a year. However, robots still cannot replace all aspects of the human worker. The automated factory is feasible(可行的), but when it comes to reason and informed decisions, robots are still in the same league with machines, at least for now.59. The details given in the underlined sentence

24、s in Paragraph 2 _. A. illustrate the technical superiority of Japanese technology over American technologyB. warn against the possibility that robot workers will replace human workersC. show the growth in acceptance of robot workers worldwideD. prove the need to catch up with Japanese technology60.

25、 In Line 3 Paragraph 1, the word “deftly” means _.A. clumsily B. expensivelyC. lightlyD. skillfully61. In this passage, the author shows preference in favor of _.A. General Electric B. steel-collar workers C. more factory personnel D. Ford Motor62. The writer of this passage probably _.A. sees a rol

26、e for both robot and human factory workersB. wants to see more robots employed in factoriesC. feels threatened by robots D. believes robots make manufacturing much easierCEach year about 250,000 Americans study in other countries. Some study-abroad programs are trying harder to get students to learn

27、 about the local culture. One student on his first morning in Beijing was brought to a distant part of the city. He received money and instructions on how to get back. It took some time but he succeeded.William Finlay, head of the sociology department at the University of Georgia in the United State

28、s, says, Its absolutely crucial(关键的) that they know something about how people in other parts of the world live and think and how they behave. Often those students go in large groups and they hang around with each other. We felt that they really werent getting to know the local inhabitants（居民）.In 20

29、08, Professor Finlay started a program with South Africas Stellenbosch University. The program combines traditional classroom learning with community involvement through a nongovernmental organization, which is involved with two things: a number of crches(托儿所) and the library in the community where

30、there are some computers. “Our students typically work either with the little kids in the day cares or they work in the library and teach very basic computer skills to mostly young adults,” Finlay says.Hillary Kinsey, who is studying international affairs, spent three weeks in the Stellenbosch progr

31、am. It was interesting to learn the history of the area and the recent development with democracy and that sort of things, and then talk to these people and see what the social dynamics were, what the ethnic divisions were, how certain groups felt about other groups, she says.Mark Lenhart is the exe

32、cutive director of CET Academic Programs. Each year, that company places more than one thousand students in semester and summer study programs in China, Jordan, the Czech Republic and other countries. They place students with local roommates. Students gain from that, though the experience is not alw

33、ays easy. Not just in terms of language learning, but they also find the local culture can present challenges, and perhaps misunderstandings,” Lenhart says, “They have to adjust to local life. Its no longer OK just to have a little Chinese, for instance. If a student is studying Chinese, he wants to

34、 come home from a program like this fluent in Chinese.63. Why was the student brought to a distant part of Beijing?A. He had to learn about how to find his way back before learning Chinese.B. The study-abroad program charged him so much that he decided to get some money back.C. It was the first time

35、 he came to China, and was curious about anything.D. He had to experience the life of the local Chinese people.64. Why does Professor Finlay think students in the past couldnt really learn a foreign language?A. They didnt get in touch with the local people.B. They didnt work hard and used to hang ab

36、out in the local places.C. They didnt join in any study-abroad programs.D. They didnt learn anything about the foreign country before they went there.65. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Activities provided by the study-abroad programs may be challenges for the students.B.

37、In the study-abroad programs, students can take part-time jobs in crches or libraries.C. Hillary Kinsey joined in the program in order to better study international affairs.D. Mark Lenhart must have got adjusted to some foreign life while he studied the language.66. Which of the following can be the

38、 title of the passage?A. Study-abroad programs help you live in foreign cultures.B. Study-abroad programs take deeper dive into local culture.C. Professor Finlay started study-abroad programs.D. Culture is of great importance in learning a foreign language.D Earlier this month, the Obama Administrat

39、ion called for increased protection of the worlds most southern continent, Antarctica. Scientists say climate change and human activity have increasingly led to the melting of massive pieces of Antarctic ice. The disappearance of ice will not only affect wildlife in the area such as seals and pengui

40、ns. The melting will also cause oceans and seas around the world to rise. This represents a major threat, especially to coastal areas. For example, the ancient city of Venice, Italy has long been threatened by rising sea levels. The situation is made worse by the fact that its ancient buildings, bui

41、lt on a body of water called a lagoon( 淡水湖), are slowly sinking. When the city was founded about 1,600 years ago, the level of the Adriatic Sea was almost two meters lower than it is today.Rising sea levels are not the only threat. The salty water is also destroying Venices famous buildings and artw

42、orks. The Italian government is trying to fix the problem with the construction of a seven-billion-dollar system of moving flood barriers.Climate change is also leading to the melting of ice in other areas, such as Mount Kilimanjaro in northeastern Tanzania. It is the highest point in Africa, measur

43、ing almost 6,000 meters. The mountain supports five vegetation zones and many kinds of animals.The ice glaciers on the mountain are disappearing very quickly. This will have a bad effect on the mountains ecosystems and on Tanzanias travel industry. Also, a valuable record of thousands of years of we

44、ather history will also be lost if the ice melts. Scientists study pieces of glacier to understand weather patterns from thousands of years ago.In the United States, the icy masses in Glacier National Park in Montana may soon completely disappear because of climate change. In 1850, there were an est

45、imated 150 glaciers in the more than 400,000 hectare park.There are 26 glaciers remaining today. Scientists estimate that the glaciers will be gone by 2030. Warming temperatures are also threatening the many kinds of plants and animals that live in this mountain ecosystem.67. The writer developed th

46、e passage mainly by_. A. giving examples B. listing reasons C. making comparisons D. using quotations68. How many glaciers disappeared since 1850 in Glacier National Park? A. 150. B. 26. C. 400,000. D. About 124.69. According to the passage, what has been affected in Italy by rising sea levels? A. M

47、any kinds of plants and animals died out in Italy. B. Venices famous buildings and artworks are being destroyed completely. C. The ice glaciers on the mountain are disappearing very quickly. D. Its ancient buildings could be drowned.70. What could be the best title for the passage? A. Climate Change

48、 B. The Melting of Massive Pieces of Antarctic Ice C. Visiting Endangered Places around the World D. The disappearing of the Ice Glaciers Family Values To understand a nation, you should first get to know its minimum unit-family. 71 In the US, upon reaching an appropriate age (usually between 18 and

49、 21 years) , children are encouraged, but not forced, to leave the nest and begin an independent life. 72 Parents do not arrange marriages for their children, nor do children usually ask permission of their parents to get married. Young adults meet their future spouses (配偶) through other friends, at

50、 jobs, and in organizations and religious institutions. Although children choose their own spouses, they still hope their parents will approve of their choices. Parents feel that children should make major life decisions by themselves in many families. A parent may try to influence a child to follow

51、 a particular profession but the child is free to choose another job. 73 A son may deliberately decide not to go into his fathers business because of a fear that he will lose his independence in his fathers workplace. This independence from parents is not an indication that parents and children do n

52、ot love each other. Strong love between parents and children is universal and this is no exception in the American family. 74 It is not like we Chinese. Parents are rulers and masters. We Chinese love our parents with fear and total respect. In America, children always have their own opinions and ev

53、en can talk about some sensitive problems with their parents, like family financial situation, the relationship between mother and father, and even sex. 75 Therefore, it is contrary that, on one hand, Americans admire independence and equality that they dont want to make sacrifice to make up a famil

54、y, but on the other hand, Americans think highly of family in their value system.A. In the American family, children and parents are equal.B. It can reflect the traditional values and customs of a nation.C. When it comes to big problems, children do not have to always follow their parents ways.D. Af

55、ter children leave home, they often find social relationship and financial support outside the family.E. Although Americans pay much attention to independence and equality, they dont believe in making sacrifice.F. Sometimes children do precisely the opposite of what their parents wish in order to de

56、clare their independence.G. Many of them are expected to leave what could be lifes most important decision-marriage-almost entirely up to luck.III. 语法填空（共15分）In the United States, there were 222 people1._（report）to be billionaires（亿万富翁）in 2003.
