major has been taking as many classes as he can from the South Dakota State system s online offerings He gets better grades and learns more he says and insists he isn t missing out on the college experience I still know a lot of people from my first two years living on campus and I still meet a lot of people he says But now he sets his own schedule At least 2 3 million people took some kind of online courses according to a recent survey by The Sloan Consortium an online education group and two thirds of colleges offering face to face courses also offer online ones But what were once two different types of classes are looking more and more alike and often falling into the same pool of students At some schools online courses originally intended for non traditional students living far from campus have proved surprisingly popular with on campus students A recent study found 42 percent of the students enrolled 登记 in its distance education courses were located on campus at the university that was hosting the online courses Numbers vary depending on the policies of particular colleges but other schools also have students mixing and matching online and face to face credits Motives range from lifestyle to adapting a job schedule to getting into high demand courses Washington State had about 325 on campus undergraduates taking one or more distance courses last year As many as 9 000 students took both distance and in person classes at Arizona State last year Business is really about providing choices to their customers and that s really what we want to do said Sheila Aaker extended services coordinator 协调人 at Black Hills State Many schools such as Washington State and Arizona State let departments and academic units decide who can take an online course They

between business and colleges lies D why colleges offer online courses to on campus students B The economic cost of the worst natural disaster in Japan s history continues to rise Experts are saying the devastating 毁灭性的 combination of earthquake tsunami and now the deepening nuclear crisis is likely to result in bigger than expected financial losses for the world s third largest economy A week after the nation s worst natural disaster the threat of a nuclear meltdown is emerging as the biggest threat to the country s economic recovery At the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant water cannons spray jets of water to cool overheating nuclear reactors But scientists say that s like using a squirt gun to put out a forest fire Market analyst Will Hedden says uncertainty over the outcome is driving volatility 波动 in financial markets We are still in a state of panic And we are still not seeing any end in sight to that volatility and a lot of worries persisting over the ongoing problems in Japan he said Japanese officials say damage is now likely to cost more than the 1995 earthquake in Kobe that resulted in losses of more than 100 billion The early estimates from analysts and economists is 180 billion in damages Of course the crisis is escalating 逐步上升 If you throw in the radiation scare and people from overseas are going to stop coming to Japan the hit on tourism obviously the number could go up from there said Nathan Layne Reuters Tokyo Bureau Chief Adding to worries is damage to the country s power grid Auto analyst Paul Newton says rolling power outages have severely crimped factory production especially in auto plants across the country Companies are not producing vehicles simply because of the power outages not because they re short of components or had their plants devastated It s really a question they can t make them there s no electricity Newton said 40 A week after the nation s worst natural disaster the biggest threat to the country s economic recovery is A Earthquake B Tsunami C Nuclear meltdown D Snow 41 According to the third paragraph Will Hedden thinks A the financial markets will be recovering steadily in the near future B the Japanese are calm in face of the disaster C the Japanese needn t be too worried D he is worried about the problems caused by the nuclear crisis 42 The 1995 earthquake in Kobe resulted in losses of A

short of components C they had their plants devastated D the workers stopped working C For years we have been told that encouraging a child s self respect is important to his or her success in life But child experts are now learning that too much praise can lead to the opposite effect Praise aholic kids who expect it at every turn may become teens who seek the same kind of approval form their friends when asked if they want to go in the backseat of the car The implication 含义 of saying You are the prettiest girl in class or talking about the goals she scored but not her overall effort is that you love her only when she looks the best scores the highest achieves the most And this carries over to the classroom Social psychologist Carol Dweck PhD tested the effects of overpraise on 400 fifth graders while she was at Columbia University She found that kids praised for trying hard did better on tests and were more likely to take on difficult assignments than those praised for being smart Praising attributes 品质 or abilities makes a false promise that success will come to you because you have that quality and it devalues effort so children are afraid to take on challenges says Dweck now at Stanford University They figure they d better quit while they re ahead 44 The underlined words Praise aholic kids refer to kids who are A tired of being praised B worthy of being praised C very proud of being praised D extremely fond of being praised 45 The author quoted 引用 Dr Dweck s words in the last paragraph in order to make the article A better known B better organized C more persuasive D more interesting 46 We can infer from the passage that A praise for efforts should be more encouraged B praise for results works better than praise for efforts C praising a child s achievements benefits his or her success in life D praising a child s abilities him or her to take on challenges D It is reported that conservation groups in North America have been arguing about the benefits and dangers of wolves Some groups believe wolves should be killed Other people believe wolves must be protected so that they will not disappear from the wilderness 荒野 For Killing Wolves In Alaska the wolf almost disappeared a few years ago because hunters were killing hundreds of them for sport However 1aws were established to protect the wolves from sportsmen and people who catch the animals for their fur So the wolf population has greatly increased Now there are so many wolves that they are destroying their own food supply A wolf naturally eats animals in the deer family People in the wilderness also hunt deer for food Many of the animals have been destroyed by the very cold winters recently and by changes 第 6 页 共 10 页 in the wilderness plant life When the deer can t find enough food they die If the wolves continue to kill large numbers of deer their prey 猎物 will disappear some day And the wolves will too So we must change the cycle of life in the wilderness to balance the ecology If we killed more wolves we would save them and their prey from dying out We d also save some farm animals In another northern state wolves attack cows and chickens for food Farmers want the government to send biologists to study the problem They believe it necessary to kill wolves in some areas and to protect them in places where there is a small wolf population Against Killing Wolves If you had lived long ago you would have heard many different stories about the dangerous wolf According to most stories hungry wolves often kill people for food Even today the stories of the big bad wolf will not disappear But the fact is that wolves are afraid of people and they seldom travel in areas where there is a human smell When wolves eat other animals they usually kill the very young or the sick and injured The strongest survive No kind of animal would have survived through the centuries if the weak members had lived And it has always been a law of nature Although some people say it is good sense to kill wolves we say it is nonsense Researchers have found wolves and their prey living in balance The wolves keep the deer population from becoming too large and that keeps a balance in the wilderness plant life The real problem is that the areas where wolves can live are being used by people Even if wilderness land is not used directly for human needs the wolves can t always find enough food So they travel to the nearest source which is often a farm Then there is danger The big bad wolf has arrived And everyone knows what happens next 47 According to the passage some people in North America favor killing wolves for all the following reasons EXCEPT that A there are too many wolves B they kill large numbers of deer C they attack cows and chickens for food D they destroy the wilderness plant life 48 Some people are against killing wolves because A wolves help to keep the ecological balance in the wilderness B there is too small a wolf population in the wilderness C there are too many deer in the wilderness D wolves are afraid of people and never attack people 49 According to those against killing wolves when wolves eat other animals A they never eat strong and healthy ones B they always go against the law of nature C they might help this kind of animals survive in nature D they disturb the ecological balance in the wilderness 50 The last sentence And everyone knows what happens next implies that in such cases A farm animals will be in danger and have to be shipped away B wolves will kill people and people will in turn kill them C wolves will find enough food sources on farms D people will leave the areas where wolves can live 四 任务型阅读四 任务型阅读 第 7 页 共 10 页 Leonardo Dicaprio It s not only his 2007 feature length documentary on
