Learning experiences happen to us throughout our lives. Not long ago, I had one that I would like to __16__.
I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the highway at 85 mph __17_ we realized we were __18_. Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand-new $20 bill. I was so __19_ because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on __20__ seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line. __21__ I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I __22_ I had not actually handed any money to the cashier. I had just __23__ out, and nobody had noticed. I felt terrible.
My conscience (良心) opened its mouth and swallowed me in one big bite. I couldn’t __24__ over it. I just couldn’t go back to the cashier and __25__ for my stolen pizza. I was so upset that I __26__ to give myself the pleasure of an ice cream for __27__ that someone would say, “Hey, Jeff, why not you use the change __28__ the pizza instead of that nice, new $20 bill?” I was not so __29__ of my cash now. For the next two years, whenever I was __30__ of the “pizza incident”, I would say to myself, “Don’t think about it…”
I have learned two things from this __31__. Maybe I was a fool for __32__ in to my conscience, and being too stupid to appreciate a __33__ pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away with what you have done, your conscience will __34__ up with you.
This reflects the saying, “Coward (懦夫) dies a thousand deaths, a hero dies one.” I was a coward and have felt terrible about that incident at least a thousand times. If I had been a “__35__” and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only one, or maybe twice.

解析【小題1】C!皊hare” 在這里是“分享”的意思。從后文我們可以看出,作者和大家分享了自己的一段經(jīng)歷,因此用”share”。選A,B兩項(xiàng)的同學(xué)通常將原文翻譯成“講一段經(jīng)歷”。但只要將選項(xiàng)還原,我們就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn):to say an experience是非常不地道的用法;to talk an experience在語法上也不對(duì)(通常用to talk about sth.),因此可以排除這兩項(xiàng)。D選項(xiàng)在文意上不符。
【小題2】D。這是一個(gè)時(shí)間狀語從句,考查的是其中連詞的用法!眀e racing down”是一個(gè)延續(xù)性的動(dòng)作,而”realize”是一個(gè)瞬時(shí)發(fā)生的動(dòng)作。嚴(yán)格地說,as作連詞時(shí),前后的動(dòng)作在時(shí)間延續(xù)性上要求統(tǒng)一,因此在這里不合適;while后面引出的動(dòng)作應(yīng)該是延續(xù)性的,而非”realize”這樣的瞬時(shí)動(dòng)作;then意思是“然后”,如果用在此處應(yīng)該說and then。
【小題3】C。A,D是比較容易排除的干擾項(xiàng),“迷路”、“焦躁”在后文并沒有體現(xiàn)出來。大多數(shù)做錯(cuò)本題的同學(xué)選擇了”tired”,因?yàn)榕c后面的”rest area”相呼應(yīng)。但是,如果我們繼續(xù)讀下去就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn),讓作者一行人停下來的主要原因是饑餓而非疲勞,也才因此有了后文買皮薩的故事。而所謂”rest area”其實(shí)就是指能提供飲食補(bǔ)給的地方。因此本題選hungry.
【小題4】A。這一題主要考察詞匯。因?yàn)閾碛行缕鏂|西而引起的情感通常是”excited”興奮,而非“熱切”、“滿足”,或者“受到鼓舞”。
【小題5】B。從后文可以推斷出,作者很不情愿將心愛的紙幣花在批薩上,因此選擇”food”.有21%的同學(xué)選擇了A選項(xiàng),這些同學(xué)其實(shí)延續(xù)了28題的錯(cuò)誤:全文的中心故事是由hungry/ food引發(fā)的,而非tired/ rest area.
【小題6】B!癓uckily”是“幸運(yùn)的”,從原文看不出作者買到食物是一件幸運(yùn)的事;”immediately”是“馬上,立刻”的意思,一半以上做錯(cuò)本題的同學(xué)選擇了這一項(xiàng)。從前文中我們知道作者一行人沖進(jìn)了”pizza line”,買批薩的隊(duì)伍,可見買食物是需要等候的,不可能“馬上”得到;”actually”表示“事實(shí)上”,文意不符。
【小題7】D。大多數(shù)做錯(cuò)本題的同學(xué)選擇了C. “notice”的確有察覺到的意思,但通常用于嗅覺、視覺、聽覺等感官察覺到的東西(牛津高階:”notice: to see or hear sb/sth; to become aware of sb./sth.”)。而原文中,是思想上“意識(shí)到”,用”realize”更好。
【小題8】A!皐alked out” 指作者沒付錢就這么“(大搖大擺地)走出來”。如果用”left”,后面不用加out; work out“計(jì)算出”;find out“找出”。
【小題9】B。這道題考察了一個(gè)固定搭配”get over sth.” 表示“克服(某種負(fù)面情緒),(把某件事)想開,原諒”。這里,作者是說自己無法原諒自己買東西不付錢這種做法,沒法克服這件事帶來的負(fù)面情緒。
【小題10】B。ask for“請(qǐng)求,要求”,不符文意;apologize for“為…道歉”,一些同學(xué)錯(cuò)在這里。從常理上說,作者如果此時(shí)回到收銀臺(tái),最直接的做法是付錢,而不是道歉,否則不符合常理;send for sb.表示請(qǐng)某人來到自己這里,send for sth.表示請(qǐng)別人將某物送到自己這里來。
【小題11】A。從后文我們知道,作者此時(shí)十分愧疚,以至于不敢去買飯后的甜點(diǎn),一是自我懲罰,二來也生怕露出破綻。因此這里用refuse表示為了不漏出破綻而拒絕買甜點(diǎn)。后面的三個(gè)選項(xiàng)“想要”、“希望”、“打算”都不符合文意。
【小題12】D。“in fear that”表示“生怕…/唯恐…”。作者不敢去買甜點(diǎn),唯恐掏錢的時(shí)候被人發(fā)現(xiàn)馬腳!盜n hope”表示“希望”,作者做“賊”心虛,肯定是生怕被揭穿,而不會(huì)希望被人質(zhì)問,所以意思不對(duì)!眎n surprise”和”in anger”分別表示吃驚的、生氣的,于原文情境、意思都不相符。
【小題13】D!皌he change from the pizza”表示“從買批薩那里找來的零錢”,from本身就有“從…來”的意思。選A、C的同學(xué)大概看到change就覺得change into sth., change for sth.讀起來很順,但是change into是“變成…”的意思,change for是“把…換成…”的意思,這時(shí)change都是動(dòng)詞“變化”,而本題中change是名詞,表示找零、零錢。選B的同學(xué)理解了change的熟詞生意,但是一般不用change with sth.表示“...的找零”。
【小題14】C。作者原本很為自己有一張新奇的貨幣而興奮,但經(jīng)歷了這件事后,作者十分”upset沮喪”,不再像以前那樣,為自己的寶貝而驕傲,因此選proud。將近六成同學(xué)選了B,D。作者明明十分沮喪,所以B ”upset”用在這里與全文意思相左;如果用D ”pleased”,則這句話應(yīng)改為” I was not so pleased by my cash now”. “be pleased by”表示“被…取悅”,不能用of.
【小題15】B。sb. be reminded of sth.是remind sb. of sth.的一種被動(dòng)形式,表示“被勾起(關(guān)于某件事的)回憶”。大多數(shù)做錯(cuò)的同學(xué)選了C “thought”。如果用thought,直接說”every time when I thought…”就可以了,不應(yīng)該用被動(dòng)I was thought。
【小題16】A。Experience與第一段相呼應(yīng)。
【小題17】D。這一題考察的是動(dòng)詞短語的搭配!眛urn in”表示上交、歸還;“take in”表示吸收、接納,用在衣服上還表示改短、改小;“hand in”也是遞交、上交的意思!眊ive in to sth.”在表示上交之外,也表示向…妥協(xié),屈服,讓步。這里,作者想說自己向自己的良心妥協(xié),對(duì)一件小事耿耿于懷,這種做法或許很傻。因此用give in to。
【小題18】A。Free有自由的意思之外,還表示“免費(fèi)的”。作者這塊批薩是沒花一分錢的,因此是free pizza. 很多同學(xué)選了cheap廉價(jià)的,但廉價(jià)也是要花一點(diǎn)錢的,不符文意!眕lain”可以表示“原味的、樸素的、明白的”等等,在這里都不符合文意;”delicious”美味的,在文中從未提及。
【小題19】C。我們熟悉的catch up with的意思是“追上、趕上”,但catch up with還有“查出來并抓獲”的意思。在這里,作者想說,如果一個(gè)人做了虧心事,即使他自己努力不去想,他的良心也會(huì)把他的過失“追查出來”。Make up是彌補(bǔ)的意思,wake up 是醒來的意思,而put up with是容忍、寬容的意思。
【小題20】D。“A coward dies a thousand deaths, a hero dies one”一句中提及了兩種人:coward 和hero. 作者先說自己屬于前者,然后再假設(shè)“如果自己是后者的情況”,因此這里應(yīng)該用hero.

Directions:Read the following passage.Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.

Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.

  What is e-learning? E-learning is essentially the computer and network-enabled transfer of skills and knowledge, whose content is delivered via the Internet, audio or video tape, satellite TV, and CD-ROM.

  E-learning dates back to the early 1960s when Stanford University psychology professors Patrick Suppes experimented with using computers to teach math.As early as 1997 William D.Graziadei published an article which described developing an overall strategy for technology-based course development and management for an educational system.Today people are using many technologies in e-learning, blogs and virtual classrooms included.

  There are different types of e-learning that are available.Some educational experts suggest that different types or forms of e-learning can be considered as a continuum, from no e-learning, i.e.no use of computers or the Internet for teaching and learning, through classroom aids, such as making classroom lecture Power Point slides available to students and through a course website, to laptop programs, where students are required to bring laptops to class and use them as part of a face-to-face class, to mixed learning, where classroom time is reduced but not eliminated, with more time devoted to online learning, to fully online learning, which is a form of distance education.

  Due to the effectiveness of e-learning methods, this type of learning methodology is rapidly becoming popular among schools.By 2006, 3.5 million students had participated in learning courses through the Internet at institutions of higher education in the United States.Allen and Seamen claim that almost a quarter of all students in post-secondary education were taking fully online courses in 2008, and a report by Ambient Insight Research suggests that in 2009, 44 per cent of post-secondary students in the USA were taking some or all of their courses online, and some professors predicted that this figure would have been doubled by 2014.Thus it can be seen that e-learning is moving rapidly from the margins to being a predominant form of post-secondary education.

  E-learning has created a new paradise in education and it has greatly complemented our traditional methods and thus it has brought students a lot of advantages.We expect much more growth in adoptions of it in schools.

It's good to make mistake, and here is why.

  1.   It’s always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you expand? How can you innovate? The simple answer is "You can't". Look around you. With very few exceptions, either everything you see in your physical world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new.

Another good thing about mistakes is this.  2.   Consider this: Edison failed 10000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he remarked that he hadn't failed 10000 times, but rather had learned 10000 things that didn't work.

Finally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success. Why? Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some limited number of things before you succeed.   3.  

But this all doesn't mean that you should go ahead with disregard for the consequences of a mistake. Quite the contrary, you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits if it doesn't work out the way you want it to.   4. 

We all have limited resources in the form of time and money, so don’t blow them all on one approach to a problem. Realize that it probably won't be perfect the first time and allocate these resources appropriately so you can learn, modify, and try it again. Only by embracing and using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your business and your career.

There is an old truth that goes, "  5.   

So go forth and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And prosper.

A.First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things.

B.Only those who do nothing make no mistakes.

C.If you're not making mistakes, you're not trying hard enough.

D.When you are making mistakes, you are learning.

E. You should take mistakes as stepping stone to future success.

F. You should guarantee you will be in a position to succeed again.

G. Every time you made a mistake you remove one of those things and are one step closer.

A. Keep up with the progress of the course

B. Be able to communicate through writing

C. Take the program seriously

D. Accept critical thinking as part of online learning

E. Be open-minded about sharing experiences

F. Be willing to “speak up” if problems arise

Online students require unique qualities to be successful. The following list discusses some ideal qualities of successful online students.

81.

Many different people find that the online method required them to use their experiences and that online learning offers them a place to communicate with each other. This forum for communication removes the visual barriers that hinder some students from expressing themselves. In addition, students are given time to reflect on the information before replying. In this way, students can help to keep the online environment open and friendly.

82.

In the virtual classroom nearly all communication is written, so it is critical that students feel comfortable expressing themselves in writing. Some students have limited writing abilities which need to be improved before or as part of the online experience. This usually requires extra commitment by these students.

83.

Remember that instructors cannot see their students in an online course. This means students must be absolutely explicit with their comments and requests. If they experience technical difficulties, or problems in understanding something about the course, they must let the instructors or other online students know; otherwise there is no way anyone can know something is wrong.

84.

Online learning is not easier than study in regular classrooms. In fact, many students say it requires much more time and effort. Requirements for online courses are not less than those of any quality program. Successful students, however, see online learning as a convenient way to receive their education—not an easier way. Many online students sit at computers for hours at a time during evenings and on weekends in order to complete their assignments.

85.

Online learning is normally arranged in the time sequence and requires devotion on the students’ part. Strictly following each step and completing all work on time is vital. Once students get behind, it is almost impossible to catch up. Students need to want to be there and need to want the experience. The instructor may have to communicate with students personally to offer help and remind them of the need to keep up.
