In a recent announcement, Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)said that they have joined forces to offer free online courses in an effort to attract millions of online learners worldwide.

Beginning this fall, a number of courses developed by teachers at both universities will be offered online through a new $60 million program, known as edX. “Anyone with an Internet connection anywhere in the world can use our online courses,” Harvard President Drew Faust said during a meeting to announce the plan.

MIT has offered a program called OpenCourseWare for ten years that makes materials from more than 2,000 classes free online. It has been used by more than 100 million people. In December, the school announced it also would begin offering a special certificate, known as MITx, for people who complete certain online courses. Harvard has long offered courses to a wider population through a similar program.

The MITx will serve as the foundation for the new learning platform.

MIT President Susan Hockfield said more than 120,000 people signed up for the first MITx course. She said Harvard and MIT hope other universities will join them in offering courses on the open-source edX platform.

“Fasten your seatbelts,” Hockfield said.

Other universities, including Stanford, Yale and Carnegie-Mellon, have been experimenting with teaching to a global population online.

The Harvard-MIT program will be monitored by a not-for-profit(非盈利的)organization based in Cambridge, to be owned equally by the two universities. Both MIT and Harvard have provided $30 million to start the program. They also plan to use the edX platform to research how students learn and which teaching methods and tools are most successful.

【题目】D

Max Vernon Mathews has been called the father of computer music. He created electronic tools so that people could use computers as musical instruments. He had a huge influence on the development of electronic music and how it is written, recorded and played.

In 1957, Max Mathews wrote the first computer program that enabled a computer to create sound and play it back. At the time, he was working as an engineer at Bell Laboratories in New Jersey. His computer program was called Music. It enabled a large IBM computer to play a seventeen-second piece of music that he had written.

The computer was so slow that it would have taken an hour to play the piece of music in seventeen seconds. For that reason, Mathews moved the work to a tape player, which could be sped up to play the music at a normal speed. He later said that the sound quality of the musical notes was not great, but the technical importance of the music was huge.

The science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke visited Bell Laboratories in the 1960s. He heard a computer “sing” the song “Daisy Bell” on devices and programs developed by Max Mathews and other engineers. Clarke noted this technology in his book “2001: A Space Odyssey,” which was later made into a movie.

Mathews continued creating other versions of the Music program. He became interested in how computers could help musicians outside recording studios.

Max Mathews had a long and productive career. He worked with composers like John Cage and Edgard Varese. He helped create a center for research in computer music in Paris. And he taught at the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics in Stanford University in California.

Mathews believed modern musicians were not making full use of the power of computer music. He said a violin always sounds like a violin, but with a computer, the way a violin sounds is unlimited. He said he did not want computer sounds to replace live music. But he said he hoped laptop computers would one day be considered serious instruments.

【1】 How did the program Music work according to the computer?

A. It helped design a computer program.

B. It made sound and play it on a computer.

C. It could record a seventeen-second piece of music.

D. It enabled a large IBM computer to work faster.

【2】 Mathews was likely to think that .

A. the first computer music was technically important.

B. the first piece of computer music was too short

C. the IBM computer was fit for creating slow music

D. the first piece of computer music wasn’t music indeed

【3】Which of the following is true?

A. Clarke helped develop computer music.

B. Mathews became a character in a movie later on.

C. Computer music was mentioned in Clarke’s book.

D. Clarke saw Mathews operate a singing computer.

【4】 It is implied in the last paragraph that .

A. Mathew wanted computers to take the place of live music.

B. a violin does make much better sounds than a computer

C. a computer can help improve sounds of traditional musical instruments

D. laptops are more suitable to be used as serious musical instruments

阅读下面的短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

If you can speak English,you know a lot of English words. You can read,speak and understand. But there is another kind of language you need to know——the language of the body,a part of what is called non-verbal communication. All over the world,people talk with their eyes. When Japanese people meet,they put their hands together. What do American and British do?

Americans are more informal than the British. They like to be friendly. They use first name,they ask questions and they talk easily about themselves. When they sit down,they like to relax in their chairs and make themselves comfortable.

British people are more quiet. They take more time to make friends. They like to know you before they ask you home.

When British and American people meet someone for the first time,they shake hands. They do not usually shake hands with people they know well. Women sometimes kiss their women friends,and men kiss women friends (on one cheek only).When a man meets a man friend,he just smiles,and says Hello. Men do not kiss each other. Even fathers and sons do not often kiss each other.
