　　“Learn to iron a shirt,”Mom said,“and you can iron anything.”

　　四、閱讀理解

　　A class with tens or even hundreds of thousands of students might sound like a teacher’s bad dream.But a big idea in higher education these days is the massive open online course,or MOOC.

　　Some universities offer free,non-credit(無學分的)MOOCs available to anyone in the world.Others charge for courses and provide credits.The idea is still developing.

　　So far,most massive open online courses are in computer science,technology,mechanics and engineering.For example,students around the world are taking a free course called “Building a Computer Search Engine”.Two computer scientists,Sebastian Thrun and David Evans,are offering this course through udacity.com.

　　There are no education requirements for the course.The students watch short videos.Then,says Mr.Evans,they take informal quizzes(測試)after the videos each week for six weeks.

　　David Evans:“Quizzes are part of the lecture to keep students engaged and keep them thinking,for students to be able to check that they understood what we covered.Those are not graded and students can try those as often as they wish.They can repeatedly watch the videos and take the quizzes whenever they want.”

　　Students receive homework.They join online groups to exchange questions and answers about the course.The teachers hold office hours to answer questions that the students have voted to send them.They also present their own questions and observations to the students in order to help them make a deeper impression of the course.

　　The students take a final examination to show where they rate in the class.Everyone who finishes the course receives a grade and proof of completion.Top students get letters documenting their work.

　　Mr.Thrun started Udacity,which supports free MOOCs.Udacity hopes to make a profit in the future by connecting possible employers with interested students.On his Stanford homepage he says he wants to “democratize” education.Education,he says,should be free,accessible for all,anywhere and anytime.

　　D.All of them are about computer science and technology.

　　A.will take an informal quiz every day

　　B.learn mainly by watching short videos on the Internet

　　C.can ask the teachers any question about the course anytime on the Internet

　　D.will get a grade and proof of completion if they do well in the final examination

　　一、單句填空

　　1.consisted　句意:在2024年夏天被派往洪災地區的那個醫療隊由30名成員組成?？疾閯釉~時態和語態。consist of“由……組成”,不用于被動語態,相當于be made up of。由2024可知,此處應用一般過去時。

　　2.hidden　句意:每個人的臉都藏在面具后,很難分辨他們到底是誰?？疾榉侵^語動詞。face與hide之間是被動關系,故用過去分詞作賓補。

　　3.which　句意:我借給他十本雜志,其中的大部分都比你想象的更精彩。考查定語從句。most of which 引導非限制性定語從句,修飾先行詞ten magazines。

　　4.to be working　句意:當老板進來時,工人們假裝正在機器上努力工作?？疾榉侵^語動詞。pretend to be doing假裝正在做……。

　　5.relaxed　句意:花了一個小時的時間解出那道數學題之后,她感到輕松愉快?？疾樾稳菰~。relaxed“輕松的”,符合句意。

　　6.is being rebuilt　句意:目前他們和父母住在一起,因為他們自己的房子正在重建。本題考查動詞時態和語態。 由題干中的are living可知此處應該是現在進行時,且house與rebuild之間是被動關系,所以要用現在進行時的被動語態is being done結構。

　　7.marking　句意:神舟八號成功地和天宮一號對接,這標志著中國建立自己空間站的開始?？疾榉侵^語動詞。根據語境可知非謂語動詞與前面邏輯主語之間是主動關系,因此要用v.-ing形式。

　　8.to　句意:如果你對這個單詞的意思沒有把握的話,可以查一下詞典?？疾楣潭ù钆?。refer to參考、查閱。

　　9.a;the　句意:這對夫婦有自己的理由把他們離婚的事情暫時保密。keep sth.a secret把某事保密;for the moment暫且、目前。

　　10.Dressed　句意:穿著校服,我們都為自己是這所名校的學生而有一種自豪感?？疾榉侵^語動詞作狀語。根據固定搭配be dressed in可知此處應該用過去分詞作狀語。

　　二、語法填空

　　[語篇解讀]　本文是一篇說明文。本文向我們介紹了應該如何成為一名記者。成為一名記者需要做很多,首先要接受必要的教育,應該獲得盡可能多的實際經驗。

　　1.at　考查介詞。at least至少。

　　2.will assist　考查時態。根據語境可知,這是說將來的事情,應該是在你找記者方面的工作時學校會幫助你。

　　3.are receiving　考查時態。while是解題的關鍵,意思是說在接受教育期間應該獲得盡可能多的實際經驗,所以要用現在進行時。

　　4.working　考查非謂語動詞。mean作“意思是,意味著”講時后接動名詞作賓語。

　　5.experiences　考查名詞。experience意為“經驗”不可數,意為“經歷”時可數,根據句意此處應該是說實習是非常寶貴的經歷。

　　6.to　考查介詞。所填詞應該與lead構成搭配。lead to“導致,造成”,符合句意。

　　7.well　考查副詞。設空處前后出現的兩個be able to是提示,as well as意為“也,還”。句意:他們需要能夠從有趣的角度去處理它,也能夠有效地與他人交流。

　　8.effectively　考查副詞。此空所填詞應該修飾動詞communicate,所以需要用副詞形式effectively。

　　9.ability　考查名詞。設空處前面的定冠詞the提示此空應該填寫名詞,因此將able變為名詞ability。

　　10.valuable　考查形容詞。應用形容詞修飾名詞skill,所以此處填valuable。

　　三、完形填空

　　[語篇解讀]　本文為記敘文,題材為人物故事。一位希望孩子獨立的母親告訴這位即將進入大學的孩子如何熨衣服。通過熨衣服技巧傳授的過程,孩子不僅學會了如何有技巧地熨好每件衣服,同時還明白生活中最大的困難也并不可怕,只要我們用心一個一個去解決,一切很快就會順暢起來。

　　4.B　從本段接下來的文字可以看出,熨襯衫是件不容易的活兒,故選B。useful 有用的;easy容易的;special 特殊的;suitable 合適的。

　　5.C　從后文的Ironing was like driving a car on a street that has a stop sign every 10 feet.可知,這不是一項像溜冰那樣很流暢的行動,故選C(連續而流暢的)。direct 直接的;single 單一的;strange 奇怪的。

　　6.D　從本段接下來的內容可知,熨衣服含有危險的因素,故選D(危險)。doubt 懷疑;pressure 壓力;surprise 驚訝。

　　10.D　根據句意,這些年來,我已經學會了很熟練地熨襯衫,這給了我一種自豪感,故選D(自豪)。honesty 誠實;freedom 自由;justice 正義。

　　11.B　根據下文可知,熨衣服的經歷給我的生活帶來積極的影響,前后是遞進關系,故選B。instead 反而,卻;otherwise 否則;however然而。

　　12.B　根據文意,對于生活中的困難或問題,只要你一個一個用心去處理,一切很快就會順暢起來的,故選B(處理)。make up 組成,編造;ask for 要求;rely on 依賴。

　　四、閱讀理解

　　[語篇解讀]　什么是MOOC課程?它能為學習者提供什么樣的教育?人們會學到什么東西呢?

　　1.A　細節理解題。根據第二段中Others charge for courses and provide credits.可知這類課程班有的還是要收費的,所以答案為A項:并非都是免費的。文章第一句話是為了引出下文,而并非真的是老師們的噩夢,排除B項;文中沒有信息說高中生很喜歡這種課程,排除C項;根據第三段第一句可知該課程的專業不僅僅有電腦科學和技術,排除D項。
