题目内容

【题目】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。

Two billion children in the developing world can’t receive good education—the key to human development.However,technology offers an answer which allows the poor in developing countries to learn.It is a tool which holds the ability to change the lives of the poor,as it provides a means of learning and communicating.

Educational programmes must break away from old systems.New companies such as One Laptop(笔记本电脑)Per Child(OLPC),an organisation founded by MIT Professor Nicholas Negroponte have been active in solving the world’s education problem.

The Internet has changed the world,allowing educational services to help with the global fight against poverty.Khan Academy is one such service.Like OLPC,it is an organisation founded by Harvard Business School graduate Salman Khan with the task of “providing a world-class education to anyone,anywhere”.The education offered includes a large number of math-related topics.

The GMAT Pill Review is another company that trains MBA candidates(应考人)worldwide to prepare for the GMAT exam on both the Quant and Verbal section.Founded by Stanford graduate Zeke Lee,the company offers services which are priced at about 75% less than other similar programmes.It allows students from developing countries who might not be able to afford similar courses to have access to these services.

Whether paid or free these services provide educational opportunities to those who would never have had the chance in the past.As a result of the technology revolution(革新),business schools may see more students from different corners of the world.Because of the Internet,people in developing nations have access to better and more affordable educational opportunities.More and more people will try to improve their lives through educational opportunities outside of their homeland—an idea usually uncommon in developing countries.

解析

试题分析:

【1】根据第一段的“It is a tool which holds the ability to change the lives of the poor,as it provides a means of learning and communicating.”可知,由于科技提供学习和交流的方法,所以它是能够改变穷人命运的工具。

【2】根据第三段的“Khan Academy is one such service.Like OLPC,it is an organisation founded by Harvard Business School graduate Salman Khan with the task of‘providing a world-class education to anyone,anywhere’.”可知,该组织的目的是使每一个人都得到世界一流的教育。

【3】由最后一段的“More and more people will try to improve their lives through educational opportunities outside of their homeland—an idea usually uncommon in developing countries.”可知,现在越来越多的人通过本国之外的教育机会来改善他们的生活,这一点在过去的发展中国家是不常见的。由此可以推断出,过去发展中国家的人们很少想到通过接受国外的教育来改变自己的命运。

【4】该文主要介绍了发达国家通过科技手段帮助发展中国家的人们接受教育的几个组织,故A项作为写作目的最合适。

【题目】阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。

In the cold and plain living room, Matt is sitting in his chair. His eyes don’t shine anymore. He looks extremely old and weak. Today is his birthday, and he is by himself. The only thing that he has been doing all day is thinking about how sad and lonely his life is. As he was looking at some old pictures, he found one special with him and his friends from college. This picture brought back the days when he had friends and his life was full of happiness. Also, it brought him a sad memory. This memory happened forty years ago, during his last year of college.

Throughout college, Matt had a friend named Mark. Mark was tall and skinny. He wore thick glasses. He was shy, smart and responsible. Also, Mark didn’t have as many friends as Matt had. He considered Matt as his best friend. As good friends, they knew everything about each other, and they hung out. Also, they overcame many problems together. They were really good friends.

On his twenty-fourth birthday their life changed. On the night before his birthday, Mark called Matt, “Hi! Matt,” his voice sounded strange. He continued, I have an important project to work on. I’m having some problem with this. Maybe, you could come over and help me with it giving me some new ideas. Could you?” Matt asked, “What time?” Mark kept in silence for a minute, and then he said, “At 8 pm. Is it good for you?” Then Matt answered, “OK! See you later.” At that night, it was Matt’s birthday. So, he didn’t want to spend his birthday helping Mark with his project. Matt went to a club with some other guys.

The next morning, Matt noticed that Mark was acting differently. When he went to talk to Mark, Mark ignored him completely. He left the classroom without saying one word. As Mark was walking away, Matt said in an angry voice, “You are selfish. You are just thinking about yourself. I was having fun on my birthday. Why can’t you understand it?”
