分析 本文主要介绍西湖的历史及与西湖相关的一些人文景观.
解答 61.Beautifully 考查副词.embrace是动词,要用副词修饰,形容词beautiful的副词是beautifully.
62.was fixed 考查动词时态和语态.name与fix之间是动宾关系,用被动语态,且句中时间as early as the Tang Dynasty表示过去,用一般过去时的被动语态.
63.various 考查形容词.names是名词,要用形容词修饰,名词variety的形容词是various.
64.to praise 考查动词不定式.此处动词不定式表示目的,作目的状语.
65.a 考查冠词.beauty是可数名词,其前加不定冠词a表示泛指.
66.its 考查代词.charm是名词,其前用形容词性物主代词作定语.
67.Among 考查介词.根据句意:在它的美景中.用among,意为"在…之中".
68.which 考查定语从句.分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句,先行词是the Ten Sights in West Lake and the Ten New Sights in the West Lake,在从句中作主语,用关系代词which.
69.heroes 考查名词.根据下文Yue Fei,Yu Qian and Qiu Jin可知,要用复数形式.
70.leaving 考查现在分词.此处现在分词作结果状语.

A.Finally,it has taken a giant leap forward. B.All of the factors pushing online education toward the mainstream of higher education are now crashing together. C.Over the past few years,he has been teaching himself programming. D.In other words,Coursera's approach is a long way from a simple online video lecture. E.Yet the most exciting promise of their company and the like is the role they might play in improving education for the poor around the world. F.Ng's course in machine learning attracted 104,000 enrollees around the world. |
Christos Porios,16,lives in a small Greek city."My mother's a teacher and my father's a mechanic,"he explains,adding that neither is knowledgeable about computers-especially compared with him.(67)C
Porios was taking a free class in machine learning offered by Andrew Ng,a professor at Stanford University,over an online platform Ng developed with his colleagues.Drawing on what he learned,Porios was able to participate in the International Space Apps Challenge,a virtual hackathon (编程马拉松) using data from NASA and other government agencies.
If one teenager in one small city can become a genius hacker through an online course,does it mean the world has changed?We have been hearing about the potential of online education for decades.
(68)A A number of online education platforms have appeared,featuring professors from top universities offering free courses.
(69)F Ng was amazed."It would take me 250 years to teach this many people at Stanford,"he says.And so,just one month into the course,Ng and his Stanford colleague,Daphne Koller,decided to leave their faculty posts (教职) and dive into online teaching full-time.In April,they launched their company,Coursera,with a $16 million round of venture funding.So far,it has managed to team up with 35colleges in nine countries.
To Ng and Koller,Coursera's mission is simple and yet grand.That is to teach millions of people around the world for free,while also transforming higher education.
According to Ng,the world's top 20universities enroll only about 200,000 students.There are million more who could participate in classwork at the higher level,but most of them are far from any of the leading universities.(70)E
Koller says Coursera's total registration has hit 15 million.Porios,the young Greek,is only one of those registrants.His hope is to study in Germany or England someday.He is even toying with the idea of taking classes at MIT or Stanford-but this time in person.
