试题 MOOC是大规模在线课程的缩写，只需一台电脑和互联网，成千上万的人可以同时使用MOOC。本文主要介绍了两位教师对于MOOC的观点与看法。

【1】根据上文You can be anywhere in the world to take it. 你可以在世界任何地方接受它，可知下文大型在线课程 “All you need is a computer and the Internet.你所需要的只是一台电脑和互联网。”符合语境。故选：B。

【2】根据下文He says,“When students take some lessons, they needn't be present to hear and get them.”He says more and more students in MOOCs can mean less communication between them and the teachers.可知，Scott Anderson认为“大型在线课程”有其优、缺点。所以“He thinks MOOCs have both advantages and disadvantages”符合语境。故选：A。

【3】根据下文 She says online education has more weaknesses for her subjects.She says…可知，上文应提到一个女性。Lisa Jadwin teaches literature and writing at a college in New York.符合语境。故选：C。

【4】根据上文 She says,“What's lost in online education is face-to-face communication. But the teaching of literature needs that.”学习文学需要面对面地交流，所以下文会说到 “She says some students can learn very well from talks and discussion groups.”,承接上文点名这种学习方式的好处。故选：D。

【5】根据文章大意，主要介绍了“什么是MOOC,以及两位老师对此的看法与观点”，所以“what two teachers think of MOOCs”最符合文意。故选：B。
