Traditional colleges and universities have developed distance learning programs to accommodate individuals who would not otherwise have the time or fun

21、ds to earn an advanced degree. Online programs require the same amount of study and work as a classroom program. If you are under the impression that courses offered online will be a walk in the park, think again! Online degree programs are often more difficult than traditional university programs d

22、ue to the fact the work and study is left up to the student. Time management skills are crucial, since there is not a particular time of the day set aside specifically for study. It may take some time to become accustomed to this method of scholarship, but the pros of online classes may outweigh the

23、 cons in your situation. The main difference between online degree programs and traditional higher education is the location of learning. Instead of being confined to a stuffy classroom filled with students, these online classes have a more personal feeling. While many students would be hesitant to

24、speak one to one with a class instructor, online programs find their students more willing to contact their professors via e-mail. This great participation encourages better understanding of the course material. Of course, not attending a class also comes with additional barriers. A student must be

25、equipped with time management skills in order to succeed in an online class. Students that lack the proper time management skills may find themselves overwhelmed with course work at the end of the semester or falling behind in their studies. Whether you choose to attend a traditional college or univ

26、ersity or enroll in an online higher education program, the chances of success are equal. In the end, it is up to you in order to complete the course of study and earn your degree. For busy individuals or students wishing to return to school without greatly affecting their everyday lives, an online

27、degree program may be the best option. (1).本题2分According to the passage, the main difference between online degree programs and traditional higher education is _D_.(A)the knowledge students learn from the class (B)the requirement for time management skills (C)the tuition students have to pay (D)the

28、place where students choose to study (2).本题2分Which of the following is TRUE about online degree programs? D (A)Online degree programs are better than traditional higher education. (B)The students in online classes are shy to communicate with the professors. (C)Online degree programs are very easy fo

29、r most of the students. (D)Online degree programs can help students make progress in understanding the course material. (3).本题2分Which of the following is NOT the advantage of online degree programs? B (A)Its much easier for students to exchange ideas with the teachers via e-mail. (B)Students have to

30、 stay in the classroom for a whole day. (C)Students can enjoy more personal feeling from online degree programs. (D)Students can benefit from the flexible time-tables provided by online degree programs. (4).本题2分To succeed in online degree programs, it is necessary for the students to _A_.(A)make a p

31、lan on how to use their time (B)communicate with the classmates (C)finish their homework (D)listen carefully to the teachers (5).本题2分Online degree programs are most appropriate to _C_.(A)the people who are unemployed (B)the people who have more free time (C)the people who want to earn an advanced de

32、gree but busy with their own business (D)the people who lack time management skills 42. Successful and happy distance learners have a few characteristics in common. Compare yourself to the following list to determine whether or not online classes are a good fit for your personality and habits. 1. Su

33、ccessful distance learners do just as well, if not better, without people looking over their shoulder. While some people need teachers to keep them motivated and on-task, distance learners are able to motivate themselves. They realize that they will never be face-to-face with the people who give the

34、m assignments and grade their work, but they dont need others to encourage them. The most successful students are self-motivated and set their own goals. 2. Successful distance learners never (or at least rarely) put off their assignments or wait until the last moment to write their papers. These st

35、udents enjoy the freedom of working at their own pace and appreciate the ability to complete their work in as much time as it takes them, instead of waiting for an entire class. However, they understand that putting off their work too often can end up adding months, if not years, to their studies. 3

36、. Successful distance learners have good reading comprehension skills. While most people learn by listening to lectures and taking notes, the majority of distance learners are expected to master material through reading alone. Although some distance learning courses offer video recordings and audio

37、clips, most programs require that students understand a large amount of information that is only available through written text. These students are able to comprehend texts at the college level without the direct guidance of a teacher. 4. Successful distance learners can resist constant distractions

38、. Whether its the phone ringing off the hook, the kids screaming in the kitchen, or the temptation of TV programs, everyone faces distractions. Successful students know how to filter out the constant disturbances that threaten their progress. They feel comfortable turning down an invitation or letti

39、ng the machine pick up the phone when they know there is work to be done. (1).本题2分Which of the following is NOT included in the successful distance learners characteristics? A (A)Being easy to distract attention. (B)Being self-disciplined. (C)Being self-motivated. (D)Being with good reading comprehe

40、nsion skills. (2).本题2分If putting off his work too often, what will happen to this student? D (A)The professor will punish him. (B)Nothing will happen to him. (C)An entire class will wait for him. (D)He has to postpone his graduation. (3).本题2分The phrase “filter out” in the last paragraph means _B_.(A

41、)choosing something to learn (B)getting rid of the disturbances (C)working out a plan (D)solving the problem (4).本题2分What we can infer from this passage is that _D_.(A)traditional learners can enjoy the freedom of working at their own pace (B)only with written texts provided by online class, reading

42、 comprehension skills are very important to distance learners (C)distance learners will never refuse the invitation for coming out because they are free (D)even without good reading comprehension, traditional learners still can make progress with the help of teacher (5).本题2分Based on this passage, th

43、e author intends to tell us that _B_.(A)no one would like to enroll at a traditional school (B)learners must consider whether they have the qualities to attend online classes before making their decision (C)online learning will take the place of traditional school in future (D)online learning is the

44、 perfect option for everyone 43. If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise-and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon. Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted

45、to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down. With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousan

46、d people of different ages and varying occupations. Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect and emotion, and determine the human character. (The rear section of the brain, which co

47、ntrols functions like eating and breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual or emotional faculties.) Contraction of front and side parts was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty-and-seventy-year-olds. Mat

48、suzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to the contraction normally associated with age-using the head. The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, f

49、ollowed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant. Matsuzawas findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circ

50、ulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. “The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain,” he says. “Think hard and engage in conversation. Dont rely on pocket calculators.” (1).本题2分The team of doctors wanted to find out _A_.(A)why certa

51、in people age sooner than others (B)which people are most intelligent (C)how to make people live longer (D)the size of certain peoples brains (2).本题2分What are their research findings based on? C (A)A survey of farmers in northern Japan. (B)Tests performed on a thousand old people. (C)The study of br

52、ain volumes of different people. (D)The latest development of computer technology. (3).本题2分The doctors tests show that _D_.(A)sixty-year-olds have better brains than thirty-year-olds (B)the front section of the brain does not shrink (C)some peoples brains have contracted more than other peoples (D)our brains shrink as we grow older (4).本题2分The word “subjects” in paragraph 5 means _B_.(A)branches of knowledge studied (B)persons chosen to be studied in an experiment (C)something to be considered (D)any member of a state except the supreme ruler (5).本题2分According to the passage, which people see
