分析 短文主要講了大型開放式網(wǎng)絡課程--慕課的發(fā)展，對于這種網(wǎng)絡上的遠程教育，不同的人各有各的看法，利弊不一．

解答 1-5 DACCB  6-10 BAACD  11-15 BDDCA
1．D 動詞辨析，cut"切斷，削減"，accept"接受"，give"給"，take"拿，獲得"，根據(jù)語境為"接受這些課程"，因此選take．
2．A 聯(lián)系語境，文章講的是上一些網(wǎng)絡課程，因此需要的是Acomputer"計算機，電腦"，而telephone是"電話"，television"電視機"，radio"收音機"．
3．C 形容詞辨析，constant"不斷的"，similar"相似的"，distant"遠距離的"，creative"創(chuàng)造性的"，根據(jù)語境MOOCs是指大型開放式網(wǎng)絡課程，因此指的是利用網(wǎng)絡的"遠程學習"．4．C 副詞辨析，rarely"很少地，罕見地"，merely"僅僅"，partly"部分地"，equally"平等地"，由空格后mostly"大部分地"可知答案為C，此處指"很多大學的課程有一部分或者大部分是網(wǎng)上教授的"．
5．B 形容詞辨析，expensive"昂貴的"，effective"有效的"，sensitive"敏感的"，active"積極的"，前文提到"慕課在計算機科學和工程系教學效果很好"，因此此題為"在藝術(shù)課程是否也像老的教學方法那么有效？"，故選B．
6．B 形容詞辨析，wrong"錯誤的"，bad"壞的"，right"正確的"，positive"積極的"，由前面good可知這里應填其對應單詞bad，表示"慕課既有它好的和不好的方面"．
7．A 名詞辨析，lecture"演講，講座"，chat"聊天"，debate"辯論"，contest"比賽，競賽"，理解句子為"當學生聽講座的時候"，故選A．
8．A 副詞辨析，physically"身體上地"，spiritually"精神上地"，mentally"精神上"，commercially"商業(yè)上"，此句為"學生不需要人親自到場還能聽到教授的講座"，故選A．
9．C 形容詞辨析，better"更好的"，more"更多的"，less"更少的"，fewer"更少的"，句子理解為"慕課上更多的學生就意味著學生跟老師之前的交流更少"，因此選C，而fewer是修飾可數(shù)名詞的，此處communication"交流"為不可數(shù)名詞，因此用less修飾．
10．D 考查動詞短語的搭配，get up"起床"，look up"查找，向上看"，make up"組成"，set up"建立，此處為"建立網(wǎng)上討論組"，故選D．
11．B 動詞辨析，obtained"得到"，lost"失去"，exposed"暴露"，preferred"更喜歡，寧愿"，此題為"網(wǎng)上教學的一些缺點"，因此句子理解為"網(wǎng)上教育丟失的是面對面的交流"，故選B．
12．D 形容詞辨析，careful"細心的"，basic"基礎的"，attentive"周到的"，interactive"交流的"，句子意思為"英語教學就是一種面對面的交際訓練"，故選D．
13．D 動詞辨析，turned"轉(zhuǎn)變"，taken"拿走"，missed"錯過"，removed"移除"，根據(jù)語境"舊的方法不會很快地被計算機輔助指導所移除掉"，故選D．
14．C 名詞辨析，idea"主意，想法"，form"形式"，value"價值"，habit"習慣"，此處為"看到了網(wǎng)上教育的價值"，故選C．
15．A 副詞辨析，together"一起"，along"向前，進展"，outdoors"戶外"，again"再一次"，句子理解為"學生住在不同的地區(qū)也能在同一個項目上一起合作"，故選work together．

14．An Unexpected Storm
This is a story about an extreme storm in Moscow．It happened two and a half years ago．It was the first time in my life that I saw such a strong storm．For Moscow，it was very unusual，and nobody predicted this storm before it happened．
It was a sunny day in July，and I was at home alone watching TV．The windows and the door to the balcony were wide open because the weather was so hot．
Suddenly，I felt a strong wind from outside．I wanted to close the window and came near．I looked out of the window and saw a black sky and trees blowing over because of the strong wind．I tried to close the window，but the wind made me fall down．I was afraid that the glass might break．
I stood up and tried to close the window again，but it was not possible because the wind was now stronger，and it was pushing the window open．I ran into the bathroom and took the mop to close the window．It worked．
When I looked outside，the tree in front of my window was fiat on the ground，and there was strong thunder and lightning．I decided to pull out all the electrical plugs，which took about 10seconds．A sportsman would have envied my speed．
When I finished，I looked outside．It was terrible，and I understood how people are helpless compared to the power of nature．
Suddenly，the wind stopped，and it began to hail （下冰雹）．The ice was the size of grapes．After 10minutes，everything stopped，and the sun shone as before．It was strange．A few minutes later，the phone began to ring every five minutes．It was my friends or relatives．We asked each other how it was and how we felt after the storm．
Many trees died because of the storm．For a few days，the people helped clean parks and gardens．Some people's cars were damaged by trees falling on them．After one week，it was history already．This is my story about an extreme storm in Moscow．It shows us that we are children of nature，and we must respect her．
21．How did the weather change according to the passage？D
A．Sunny and hot-thunder and lightning-windy-hail-sunny．
B．Sunny and hot-windy-hail-thunder and lightning-sunny．
C．Sunny and hot-thunder and lightning-hail-windy-sunny．
D．Sunny and hot-windy-thunder and lightning-hail-sunny．
22．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5mean？A

B．I could run faster than a sportsman．
C．I could stay at home on a stormy day．

11．A．Get to know yourself．
B．Take care of your body．
C．Practice basic respect towards yourself．
D．Be honest with yourself and with others．
E．Think about what it means to respect someone．
F．Recognize when people disrespect you and take steps to stop it．
How to Respect Yourself A lack of self-respect can prevent you from fulfilling your potential and developing healthy relationships．Here are some steps to help you know how to respect yourself．
61．E  The  qualities  that  we  respect  vary  from  person  to  person，and  the  way  we express it varies from culture to culture．Generally，we respect people who have more experience and are more accomplished  than ourselves．But  there  is  also a basic  level of  respect  that most people will  agree  is  a  right，and  does  not  need  to be  earned．So  think  about what  it means  to respect others．Here are some widely agreed-upon signals of respect：You don't steal from，harm，
or  insult  them； you are honest with  them； you  listen  to what  they say，consider  their opinions，and avoid interrupting them．
62．C We  often  do  things  for  ourselves  that  we  would  never  dream  of  doing  for someone we care about．Whatever you believe to be respectful，apply it to yourself．Don't harm yourself．Don't insult yourself．Don't steal from yourself．Be honest with yourself．Develop your own opinions and don't be afraid to stand by them．
63．F A person with self-respect doesn't allow others to treat them badly，and would rather not be around someone who is disrespectful．This might seem obvious，but there are many times when we accept being  treated badly．When someone doesn't give you basic  respect，you need to be able to say，in one way or another，"You just disrespected me and that's not acceptable!If you don't respect me，I won't spend time with you any more．"Can you say that，and mean it？Can you turn your back on someone who's clearly shown that they don't respect you？Once you do，you'll feel your sense of self-respect go up．
64．B When you make an effort to keep your body in good working order，you'll not only feel better physically，but also  feel a sense of pride．Respecting your body also means not insulting it for what it is，naturally．Make an effort to get fit and stay healthy．Focus on the things you can change and improve，and do them because it feels good．
65．A The more  you  know  about  yourself，the more  you'll  see  and  appreciate  how unique you  really are．And you'll  respect yourself more．Discover your principles，personality，and  talents．Stop waiting  for other people's approval and start developing your own standards．Develop a unique and original way of expressing your opinions while at the same time being a good listener．

8．As young people spend more time on computers，iPads and other TV sets，researchers are asking how all that screen time affects children's and teenagers'ability to focus and  learn-even drive cars．
An online survey offers a new question：how is technology affecting their happiness and emotional development？The answer，from girls ages 8 to 12 having the habits，is that those who say they spend amounts of time using multimedia describe themselves in ways that suggest they are less happy and less socially comfortable than other teenagers who say they spend less time on screens．
    Among the key questions that the researchers are not able to answer is whether the heavy use of media is the cause for the relative unhappiness or whether girls who are less happy to begin with are drawn to heavy use of  media，in fact，coming to a virtual（虛擬）world．But the researchers assume that heavy use of media is a main factor to the social challenges of girls．
    The reason the researchers is that on a basic level girls need to experience the full face-to-face communication  such as learning to read body language and facial expressions．
    Lucy Gray，45，who lives in Chicago，said her daughter，Julia，13，has been a heavy consumer of media for several years-she watches movies on her laptop，and has an iPad，an iPhone and a Nintendo DS portable game machine．Ms．Gray said that Julia can have trouble getting on with other people especially adults in face-to-face interactions，but she is not ready to blame her daughter's heavy use of  technology
    In fact，she things that，on the whole．the technology has helped her daughter navigate（航行）the world socially．"she'd be missing out on an opportunity if she wasn't connected，"she said：
    At the same time，Ms．Gray said she worries that her daughter，who is using Facebook more，is  playing out her social life online sometimes without the benefits of the full emotional range that comes from face-to-face interaction．
"It's a double-edged sword．"Ms．Gray said to social media
51．What is the disadvantage of online habit for young girls？C
    A．They are more likely to cause car accidents．
    B．They are less likely to be liked by teachers at school
    C．They may feel uncomfortable and unhappy in social life．
    D．They may be cheated into doing something bad at school．
52．With heavy use of media，girls may tend to beA．
    A．led into a world breaking away form the reality
    B．inspired to devote themselves to learning science
    C．directed to come to a world of happiness and luck
    D．encouraged to face the challenges  of the unhappy life．
53．Girls may face more social challenges because theyB．
    A．a(chǎn)re not good at making friends online
    B．lack real communication experience in general
    C．a(chǎn)re careless at seeing others'facial expressions．
    D．spend too much time  studying at and after school．
54．What will Ms．Gray do with Julia's heavy  use of technology？D
    A．She will allow her to use her iPad and  iPhone only．
    B．She will forbid her to use any kind of media．
    C．She will allow her to use the media on weekends．
    D．She will allow her to use all the media as usual．
55．What does Ms．Gray concern when it comes to Julia's use of social media？C
    A．Their quarrels are about whether she should use the media．

15．There are a couple of ways to forecast the destructive potential of a hurricane （颶風） so that people in the way can take adequate precautions （預防措施）．Satellite images of cloud patterns can be analyzed to estimate peak wind speeds，but the estimates are often way off the mark．Specialized aircraft can fly into a storm to measure the winds directly，but the flights are costly．
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology come up with a third way：listening to a storm underwater．
In a paper to be published in Geophysical Research Letters，Nicholas C．Makris and a former graduate student，Joshua D．Wilson，report a strong connection between the intensity （強度） of sound recorded by an undersea microphone in the mid-Atlantic and the wind power of a hurricane that passed over it．They say that such microphones，known as hydrophones，could be a safe and relatively inexpensive means of estimating hurricane force．
Dr．Makris and Dr．Wilson，who are now with Applied Physical Sciences Corporation，worked out the theory of underwater acoustic （聲音的） monitoring of storms in a 2005paper．"To be very frank with you，it's a mystery what makes storms noisy underwater．"Dr．Makris said．The most popular idea currently is that it has something to do with oscillating air bubbles （氣泡振動）．
The researchers then went looking for experimental data to back their theory，and found it from a hydrophone placed at a depth of 2，500feet by the National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration．It happened that Hurricane Gert passed over the area in September 1999，and a hurricane-hunter plane directly measured the wind speed at the same time．The hydrophone data showed sound intensity rising when the storm's outside wind"wall"passed over，and again when the inside wall，the most destructive part of the storm near the eye，passed over．"We got a beautiful connection，"Dr．Makris said，"between the hydrophone data and the actual wind speeds as measured by the aircraft．"
Dr．Makris is conducting additional experiments，working with the Mexican Navy off the west coast of Mexico．The eventual goal，he said，would be permanent hydrophones in known hurricane zones or temporary ones that could be easily laid by plane or ship in the path of a coming storm．

72．Compared with the traditional methods，the new way of measuring isC．
A．more expensive            B．more direct

12．After decades of skimpy（小而暴露的）skirts and sleeveless tops on game days，some schools in the US are saying cheerleader uniforms will have to meet stricter dress codes when they are worn in class．
In Lake County，F(xiàn)lorida，cheerleaders with uniforms too skimpy for the code are being asked to wear long shorts or trousers under their skirts and a T-shirt under the sleeveless tops，according to a district memo．Principals at two of Lake's eight high schools-Leesburg and Lake Minneola-are not allowing the outfits in school at all．
Michelle Thomas，a cheerleader at Leesburg High School，was disappointed when she learned she couldn't wear her outfit to school on game days．
"It shows that we're a team just like all the other sports．"She said．
But the school administrators didn't agree．"During the educational portion of the day，they have to meet the dress code just like every other student，"said school board chairwoman Debbie Stivender，who ordered the staff to bring the outfits into line with the dress code．
Bare midriffs（露腰裝） are banned across the state by the Florida High School Athletic Association，but no state rules mention cheerleader miniskirts．Sheila Noone，a spokeswoman for cheerleading uniform company Varsity Brands，says the outfits haven't become more revealing over the last 10 years．She says that the short skirts are designed to help the girls jump and kick．
"Cheerleading is athletic，"Noone said．"There's a lot of jumping so you won't want a knee-length skirt that might hamper a toe touch．"
Most cheerleaders were sad to hear the news，but say they'll follow the rules．Even male cheerleaders，whose pants and tops meet dress codes，chose not to wear their outfits to show unity．
"I understand，because they are kind of short，"said Holly Bishop，14，a Lake Minneola High School cheerleader，about her miniskirt．"It would've been really，really cool to wear them to school．"
