昆明2015高考英语阅读理解、完形填空四月自练（12）答案阅读理解a survey of professors finds that most see online courses as inferior to in-class lessonsbut those who have taught online are more open to their potential. larry greenemeier reports the new york times calls 2013“the year of the mooc(网络开放课程). ”but lots of open online courses still fail to get high marks from most educators. in a recent survey of more than 2, 200 professors, only one in five thought that online courses could be as effective as classroom curricula(课程). their biggest concern: limited interaction between teachers and students. the survey was done by gallup and the website inside higher ed. respondents linked mooc credibility to whether an online course was offered by an qualified school and to a students ability to receive credits. the doubt from the faculty of the schools isnt surprising. new technologies often turn those well-prepared products and services into goods without little excitement, something no teacher wants. on the other hand, refusing to change, especially when it involves computers, tends to be a losing strategy in most fields. one of the important points in the data is that much mooc criticism comes from faculty whove never taught an online course. of the 30 percent of professors polled(被投票的)who had taught a mooc, most thought that online courses can deliver roughly the same results as the classroom ones. 【文章大意】2013年被称为“网络开放课程之年”。很多人都在质疑网络开放课程的有效性和它的可信度。有人认为这种课程把一些精心准备的产品和服务变成了平淡无奇的商品, 这些都不是老师们想要的。关于调查数据的可信度也遭到了质疑。1. in the first paragraph, the underlined word“inferior”probably means. a. betterb. worsec. superiord. prior【解析】选b。词义猜测题。从第一段中的“but lots of open online courses still fail to get high marks from most educators. ”可知很多教育家都认为这种课程不如课堂教学。2. according to the passage, how many professors in the survey are in support of the equal effectiveness of online courses and classroom ones?

after all, its the consumer who pays”the poor old consumer! hed have to pay a great deal more if advertising didnt create mass markets for products. it is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. but we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. another equally important function is to inform. a great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods derives largely from the advertisements we read. advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine, it is more likely that you would obtain details about performance, price, etc., from an advertisement.lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements, but this claim may be seriously doubted. it is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days. and what fun they often are, too! just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or reading railway regulations while waiting for a train? would you like to read only closely-printed columns of news in your daily paper? a cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a dull wall or a newspaper full of the daily amount of great disasters. we must not forget, either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. newspapers, commercial radio and television companies could not survive without this source of income. the fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programmes is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price!another thing we mustnt forget is the “small ads”. which are virtually in every newspaper and magazine. what a tremendously useful service they perform for the community! just about anything can be accomplished through these columns! for instance, you can find a job, buy or sell a house, announce a birth, marriage or death in what used to be called the “hatch, match and dispatch” column but so far the most fascinating section is the personal or “agony” column (读者来信专栏). no other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into human nature. its the best advertisement for advertising there is!11. what is the main idea of this passage? a. advertisement. b. the benefits of advertisement. c. advertisers perform a useful service to communities. d. the costs of advertisement.12. the attitude of the author toward advertisers is _. a. trustworthyb. appreciativec. critical d. dissatisfactory13. why do the critics criticize advertisers? a. because advertisers often boast or exaggerate the fact. b. because critics think advertisement is a “waste of money”. c. because customers are encouraged to buy more than necessary. d. because customers pay more.14. which of the following is not true? a. advertisement makes contribution to our pockets and we may know everything. b. we can buy what we want. c. good quality products dont need to be advertised. d. advertisement makes our life colorful.15. in what way does the writer try to support his view? a. narrationb. description c. comparison d. definition【参考答案11-15】c b a c c阅读理解。heres a familiar version of the boy-meets-girl situation. a young man has at last mastered up courage to invite a dazzling young lady out to dinner. she has accepted his invitation and he is overjoyed. he is determined to take her to the best restaurant in town, even if it means that he will have to live on memories and hopes during the month to come. when they get to the restaurant, he discovers that this graceful creature is on a diet. she mustnt eat this and she mustnt that. oh, but of course, she doesnt want to spoil his enjoyment. let him by all means eat as much fattening food as he wants: its the surest way to an early grave. they spend a truly memorable evening together and never see each other again.what a miserable lot dieters are! you can always recognize them from the sour expression on their faces. they spend most of their time turning their noses up at food. they are forever consulting calorie charts; gazing at themselves in mirrors; and leaping on to weighing-machines in the bathroom. they spend a lifetime fighting a losing battle against spreading hips, protruding bellies and double chins. some wage all-out war on fat. mere dieting is not enough. they exhaust themselves doing exercises, sweating in sauna baths, being (用拳头连打) pummeled and massaged by weird machines. the really wealthy diet-mongers (商人) pay vast sums for “health cures”. for two weeks they can enter a nature clinic and be starved to death for a hundred pounds a week. dont think its only the middle-aged who go in for these fads (一时流行的风尚) either. many of these bright young things you see are suffering from long-term malnutrition: they are living on nothing but air, water and the goodwill of god. dieters venture to starve themselves of their own free will; so why are they so miserable? well, for one thing, theyre always hungry. you cant be hungry and happy at the same time. all the horrible stuffs they eat instead of food leave them permanently dissatisfied. wonder food is a complete food, the advertisement says. “just dissolve a teaspoonful in water” a complete food it may be, but not quite as complete as a juicy steak. and, of course, theyre always miserable because they feel so guilty. hunger just proves too much for them and in the end they quit and devour five huge cream cakes at a sitting. and who can blame them? at least three times a day they are exposed to temptation. what a torture (折磨人的事) it is always watching others tucking into lots of mouth-watering food while you munch a water biscuit and sip tasteless lemon juice!whats all this self-inflicted torture for? saintly people deprive themselves of food to attain a state of grace. unsaintly people do so to attain a state of misery. it will be a great day when all the dieters in the world abandon their slimming courses; when they hold out their plates and demand second helpings!16. what is the best title for this passage?

a. because it is a memorable evening. b. because she lets him eat as much fattening food as he wants. c. because she does not eat this and drink that. d. because eating fattening food is the surest way to an early grave.19. which of the following ways is not mentioned for diet?
