6.Bill Gates recently predicted that online learning will make place-based colleges less significant,and five years from now,students will be able to find the best lectures in the world online.I applaud Mr.Gates.But what's taking us so long?
As early as 1997,MIT (麻省理工)decided to post videos of all university lectures online,for free,for all people.But today,how many students have you met who mastered advanced mathematics or nuclear physics from an MIT online video?Unfortunately,the answer is not many.
The problem is the poor quality of online education websites and the experience they provide to students.Those who go to the MIT website and watch courses online are surely very smart people,but ifs not like playing a video game such as World of Warcraft.Only the most ardent students,those who are highly motivated,will devote themselves to studying these boring online videos.
The real question is why we aren't spending more to develop better online education platforms.Where is the Avatar of education?Think about this.The market for Hollywood films per year is worth around 30billion USD.Education in the world is a trillion-dollar-a-year market,hundreds of times bigger than Hollywood movies.Yet the most expensive digital learning system ever built cost well under 100million dollars.
Bill Gates'prediction is going to happen.There is no doubt about it.But it will only happen when we create high level educational content and experiences t hat engage and excite more than has ever been possible in the real world.

24.What has Bill Gates forecast about online learning?D
A.It will concentrate on physics lectures.
B.It will completely replace real universities.
C.It will help to make universities more successful.
D.It will play an increasingly important role in education.
25.What does the underlined word"ardent"in Paragraph 3 mean?B
A.Creative.
B.Enthusiastic.
C.Well-behaved.
D.Experienced.
26.According to the author,what is holding back the popularity of online learning?C
A.The lack of lectures available online.
B.The high cost of access to the websites.
C.The low standard of educational websites.
D.The competition with online computer games.
27.Why does the author mention Hollywood?D
A.To show that Hollywood produces many successful movies.
B.To prove that education is more profitable than entertainment.
C.To argue that movie directors should produce educational content.
D.To urge that more money be spent developing educational websites.

分析 短文主要講了比爾蓋茨預(yù)言網(wǎng)上教育將會起著越來越重要的作用,并且其正在實現(xiàn).

解答 24.D,細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)句子Bill Gates recently predicted that online learning will make place-based colleges less significant可知比爾蓋茨預(yù)言以后網(wǎng)上教育會讓學(xué)校教育不那么重要,即網(wǎng)上教育起著越來越重要的角色,故答案為D.
25.B,推理判斷題,根據(jù)句子Only the most ardent students,those who are highly motivated,可知那些有很高積極性的人才能專心學(xué)習(xí)網(wǎng)上這些枯燥的視頻,因此ardent的意思即"熱情的,熱烈的",故答案為B.
26.C,細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)句子The problem is the poor quality of online education websites 可知網(wǎng)上學(xué)習(xí)沒人氣就是由于網(wǎng)站的低質(zhì)量,故答案為C.
27.D,推理判斷題,根據(jù)句子The real question is why we aren't spending more to develop better online education platforms可知作者提到好萊塢是為了規(guī)勸應(yīng)投入更多資金開發(fā)教育網(wǎng)站,故答案為D.

點評 解答任務(wù)型閱讀理解題,首先對原文材料迅速瀏覽,掌握全文的主旨大意.因為閱讀理解題一般沒有標(biāo)題,所以,速讀全文,抓住中心主旨很有必要,在速讀的過程中,應(yīng)盡可能多地捕獲信息材料.其次,細(xì)讀題材,各個擊破.掌握全文的大意之后,細(xì)細(xì)閱讀每篇材料后的問題,弄清每題要求后,帶著問題,再回到原文中去尋找、捕獲有關(guān)信息.最后,要善于抓住每段的主題句,閱讀時,要有較強(qiáng)的針對性.對于捕獲到的信息,要做認(rèn)真分析,仔細(xì)推敲,理解透徹,只有這樣,針對題目要求,才能做到穩(wěn)、準(zhǔn).

Dear editor,
I am writing to you to talk about the heavy traffic.Nowadays,people in many big cities are complainingabout he heavy traffic.It has seriously influenced people's daily life and economic development.Tosolve the problem,I'd like to put forward some pieces of advice.
For one thing,more streets and roads should be built.In this way,we can speed up the flow of busesand cars.For another,the number ofbikes and cars can be limited,which can decrease the traffic flow.But the most important thing is that the number of private cars should be put under control.Meanwhile,buses should have their own special routes which can't be used by other vehicles.Besides,undergroundtrain and city train should be developed quickly.
I do hope my suggestions will be taken.
Yours,
Li Hua.

18.Hermit crabs (寄居蟹) live their lives in temporary,second-hand accommodation.As the hermit crab grows,it must find a larger shell for (61)protection(protect).If a shell is too small,the crab will not be able to move back fully into it and therefore becomes (62)aneasy target of its enemies.
Competition(63)forempty shells can be quite fierce among hermit crabs,especially if the supply is limited.Sometimes,however,the crabs form orderly"chains",waiting patiently for some (64)hours(hour)to obtain a shell of the right size.

If the new home (67)proves(prove) unsuitable,they will return to their shells to wait in a queue.
(68)Amazingly(amaze),the crabs order themselves in this waiting chain,(69)whichmay consist of up to 20 individuals,from the largest to the smallest!When a crab claims the empty shell,all the individuals in the queue quickly exchange their shells in order,each crab (70)moving(move) up to the next-sized shell!.
