The rapid development in information technology is set to make the average home a virtual (实质上的) university campus. E-study (or online study), the latest trend in distance education, could leave university traditions such as attending lectures, classroom discussion stuck in the 20th university. As long as you can dial up the Internet and type in your code, you are able to study on line.

    The University of Southern Queensland ( USQ) has been one of the leaders in this field, with up to 29 courses available (可得到的) for online study. It has progressively made studying certain subjects possible on the Internet in the past few years. The university started to offer its first complete full Internet courses last year.

    Studying from interstate and around the world is now a reality. Carla Powell, 33, has worked full-time while pursuing her degree (获得学位) in Education Online through USQ. She likes the flexibility (灵活性) of online study. “It's exactly the same as studying on campus, except that there is not the pressure of having to go to classes which I hate.” Powell says. She says that she enjoys the close relationship with the professors on the online courses. “You just have to e-mail them, and they reply quickly. There are some student support groups available to us,” she says.

    The major benefit of online study is the flexibility. Powell says she intends to travel overseas soon but as long as she can find an Internet café, all she has to do is to sit at a computer and complete assignments (布置的作业) on the other side of the world.

    Online study is changing the focus of education towards the customers—students. “There is a revolution taking place; online education will greatly change the way education is looked at,” Professor Taylor says.

1.  The second sentence in the first paragraph most likely means “ ________”

A. university traditions will be fully replaced by e-study.

    B. e-study may signal the end of some university tradition.

    C. online study may win over traditional study in the end.

    D. traditional study belongs only to the 20th century.

2USQ is regarded as one of the leading institutes in online education because ________.

    A. it has made the earliest discoveries in Internet education

    B. people can pursue their degrees while working fulltime

    C. it offers Internet courses to applicants

    D. it is one of the pioneers (先锋) in the development of e-study

3Which of the following is not mentioned as the advantage of online study?

    A. People could set schedule (时间表) according to their need.

    B. Professors and students share closer relationship.

    C. There will be some support from student groups.

    D. There is no need to attend class regularly.

4According to the passage, online study could be flexibly carried out ______________.

    A. only in USQ

    B. only when you travel around

    C. after you get a job

    D. anytime and anywhere

阅读理解下面的短文,然后按要求答题。
I was born in New York, but I grew up in San Francisco. I began to live in London 25 years ago. If I am asked now where I want to live forever, I would say London. But I will always be American.
San Francisco, like London, has many parks. Every day my sisters and I were taken to play in the parks as children. I didn't go to school. I only had three hours of formal education when I was five. I was sent to school in the morning but came home at noon on the first day. I said I didn't enjoy it and hadn't learned anything. My parents thought that school was unsuitable for me. They agreed with me, so I never went back to school.
Then my mother taught me and my two sisters at home, in the way of an English lady who had good education. We learned languages and reading more than sciences and maths. Sometimes she taught us herself, but we also had other teachers. They asked us to take lessons every day. About once a week we walked to Golden Gate Park. While we were walking, my mother taught me to read music. One day I noticed a little toy train in the window of a shop and I remember now how I'd like to have it. I couldn't say "r" when I was small. My mother said if I could say an "r" well, I would have the toy train. I practiced and practiced. Then one morning I woke everybody up with my "r"s. I got the toy train. I usually get the things I want in life — but I work hard for them.

第三部分阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
This week in our Foreign Student Series,we talk about getting an American education online.A student named Hendra has written to us from Indonesia asking about a good online university.Finding the right online program requires research.Talking to advisers and recruiters(招募者)can help.Keep in mind,though,that they might have a financial interest to direct you to certain programs.
The Council on Higher Education Accreditation(CHEA)recognizes a group in Washington,D.C.,to accredit(授权)schools that offer distance learning.One hundred and ten programs in the United States and six other countries are accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council.
We asked the executive director,Michael Lambert,for advice on choosing a distance learning program.He says the first thing is to go on the CHEA Web site to find if a school is accredited.The address is c-h-e-a dot o-r-g.Next,make sure the school offers what you need.Do you need a degree,or will a certificate or license be enough?
Another consideration is cost.Often the published price does not include all the costs --like books.Technology requirements can also add to the costs.Will you need to get new software or a high-speed Internet connection or even a new computer to take the classes you want?
Also,consider the level of interaction that an online program offers.You might never meet the teacher or other students in person.
Finally,and this is our own advice,find out what others say on the Internet for comments or news stories about schools that interest you.Just remember that what people say is not always fair or true.
56.This passage is probably from ________.
A.a magazine          B.a newspaper    
C.a text book       D.a radio program
57.This passage is mainly about ________.
A.how to get an American education online
