Currently offered by some famous universities, MOOCs are attractive to people who do not have the financial resources to meet the growing costs of university education, or who do not have formal qualifications. They also allow participants to study at their own pace.The potential for MOOCs to deliver education is obviously vastthey could be considered as a huge step forwards in widening participation. They also have the potential to provide a unique window on universities that offer popular and valuable courses, they may attract some participants to register for formal fee-paying programmes at the same or other universities and are likely to promote new ways of on-line education.However, it is still very early days for MOOCs. The quality of the education provision is highly variable, with many courses offering only recordings of lectures, and delivery is particularly difficult in some special fields that require practical classes, research projects or extensive library access. Besides, wider engagement with participants requires very considerable resource. Even limited feedback or examination becomes a major task if there are several thousand students in the class.Considering the challenges, some people argue MOOCs will soon evaporate (蒸发). But they certainly provide good opportunity for widening higher education, are a means of raising awareness of universities to audiences of tens or hundreds of thousands, and are well worthy of serious consideration.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. People on a college campus were more likely to give money to the March of Dimes if they were asked for a donation by a disabled woman in a wheelchair than if asked by a nondisabled woman. In another 50 , subway riders in New York saw a man carrying a stick stumble（绊脚） and fall to the floor. Sometimes the victim had a large red birthmark on his 51 ; sometimes he did not. In this situation, the victim was more likely to 52 aid if his face was spotless than if he had an unattractive birthmark. In 53 these and other research findings, two themes are 54 : we are more willing to help people we like for some reason and people we think 55 assistance.50.

However, to take these_5_ out of the regular classes was created serious problems.I observed a number of_6_students who were taken out of a special class and placed in_7_class. In the special class, they showed little ability to use their own judgment, relying_8_on their teachers directions. In the regular class, having no worry about keeping up, they began to reflect_9_on many problems. Some of which were not on the school program.Many are concerned that gifted children become_10_ and lose interest in learning. However, this_11_is more often from parents and teachers than from students, and some of these_12_simply conclude that special classes should be set up for those who are _13_. Some top students do feel bored in class, but why they_14_so goes far beyond the work they have in school. Studies have shown that to be bored is to be anxious.

Cutting down the number of customers a company loses can make a big _56_ in its performance. Research in the US found that a five per cent decrease in the number of defecting(流失的) customers led to _57_ increases of between 25 and 85 per cent.In the US, Dominos Pizza estimates that a regular customer is worth more than $5,000 over ten years. A customer who receives a poor quality product or service on their first visit and _58_ never returns, is losing the company thousands of dollars in _59_ profits (more if you consider how many people they are likely to tell about their bad experience).The logic behind cultivating customer _60_ is impossible to deny. “In practice most companies marketing effort is focused on getting customers, with little attention paid to _61_ them”, says Adrian Payne of Cornfield University Passage 1(10江苏)Another persons enthusiasm was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved.That person was my stepmother.I was nine years old when she enterd our home in rural Virginia. My father_36_me to her with these words:“I would like you to meet the fellow who is_37 for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no _38 than tomorrow morning.”My stepmother walked over to me, _39 my head slightly upward,and looked me right in the eye.Then she looked at my father and replied,“You are _40 .This is not the worst boy at all, _41 the smartest one who hasnt yet found an 36.A.rushed B.sent C.carried D.introduced37.A.distinguished B.favored C.mistaken D.rewarded38.

She had an Unpleasant voice and a direct way of speaking, 36 she was encouraging and inspiring. For some reason, she was impressed with my work and me. Mrs. Neidl would ask me for my 37 . She wanted to know how I thought we should 38 things. At first I had no idea how to answer because I knew 39 about stage design! But I slowly began to respond to her 40 . It was cause and effect: She believed I had opinions, so I began to 41 them. She trusted me to complete things, so I completed them perfectly. She loved how 42 I was, so I began to show up to paint more and more. She believed in me, so I began to believe in myself. Mrs. Neidls 43 that year was, Try it. We can always paint over it 44 !I began to take 45 . I had been so afraid of failing but suddenly there was no failing-only things to be 46 upon. I learned to dip my brush into the paint and 47 create something. The shy, quiet freshman achieved success that year. I was 48 in the programas Student Art Assistant because of the time and effort Id put in. It was that year that I 49 I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing stage design. Being on that stage-design team 50 Mrs. Neidl changed me completely. Not only was I stronger and more 45. A. steps B. control C. charge D. risks46. A. improved B. acted C. looked D. reflected47.

Sometimes it is necessary for a parent to write 49 an after-school note for their children. They sometimes put Passage 4(10上海)The first attempt of even the most talented artists, musicians, and writers is seldom a masterpiece, If you consider your drafts as dress rehearsals (彩排), or tryouts, revising will seem a natural part of the writing _50_. What is the purpose of the dress rehearsals and the out-of-town previews that many Broadway shows go through? The answer is adding, deleting, replacing, reordering, _51_ revising. Andrew Lloyd Webbers musical Phantom of the Opera underwent such a process.When Lloyd Webber began writing in 1984, he had in mind a funny, exciting production. However, when Phantom opened in London in 1986, the audience saw a moving psychological love story set to music. The musical had. _52_ several revisions due, in part, to problems with costuming and makeup (戏服和化妆). For instance, Lloyd Webber _53_ some of the music because the Phantoms makeup prevented the actor from singing certain sounds. When you revise, you change aspects of your work in _54_ to your evolving purpose, or to include _55_ ideas or newly discovered information. Revision is not just an afterthought that gets only as much time as you have at the end of an assignment. _56_, it is a major stage of the writing process, and writers revise every step of the way. Even your decision to _57_. topics while prewriting is a type of revising. However. dont make the mistake of skipping the revision stage that follows _58_. Always make time to become your own _59_and view your dress rehearsal, so to speak. Reviewing your work in this way can give you _60_ new ideas.Revising involves _61_ the effectiveness and appropriateness of all aspects of your writing, making your purpose more clearly, and refocusing or developing the facts and ideas you present. When you revise, Passage 1(09浙江)The trip to that city was eye-opening for everyone, and near its end , all the young people in our group began to reflect on what it had meant. We _21_ the first night we had arrived. We had all gone into the markets of the city _22_ the young people could experience its energy. But what we actually saw simply 23 us all the rundown houses, the children in rags, the people begging for money Walking home, 24 under a low bridge, we came across 25 families of homeless people seeking a bit of dry ground to sleep on 26 he night. We had to step over bodies as we found our way through the darkness.The poverty(贫困) was 27 than anything my young companions had ever imagined. Back in the hotel, an air of sadness settled over the group. Many 28 and cried. Spending time in this 29 moves a person to care about humanity.That evening, our group spent hours talking about what we had 30 . Gently, I encouraged everyone to talk about the difficult 31 that days discoveries had inspired. Sitting together 32 a circle as everyone had a chance to speak, we all began to realize that 33 of us was alone in our struggle to cope with our reactions.Based on my 34 in poverty-stricken areas, I suggested that 35 the emotions we had were painful, they could also be important in helping us to move forward. We all 36 that we had seen things that should never be allowed to happen. 37 , what could we do about it? Together, we began to brainstorm ways we could help to ease the 38 we had seen. As I encouraged group members to focus on 39 they could do, a sense of determination 40 the previous sadness. Instead of despair, these young people began to feel a call to action.21Aput up withBgot back toClooked back onDmade up for22Anow thatBso that
