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.
分析 文章开头介绍了16岁的少年通过网络学习掌握了大量的计算机知识,引出网络教育在现在的重要作用.
解答 C A F E
67.C 考查上下文理解.根据前面一句neither is knowledgeable about computers-especially compared with him可知,和他相比起来,父母在电脑方面的知识都不如他,在过去几年里,他一直在自学电脑方面的知识,故选C.
68.A 考查上下文理解.前 一句We have been hearing about the potential of online education for decades说在网络教育上有很大的潜力,紧接着就提到A number of online education platforms have appeared大量的网络教育开始兴起,所以中间过渡的句子应该说我们已经向前迈进一大步,故选A.
69.F 考查细节题.从后面一句Ng was amazed可,他感到很惊讶,原因在于Ng's course in machine learning attracted 104,000 enrollees around the world.他的这个课程已经吸引104,000 参与者,故选F.
70.E 细节题.根据前面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可知,有数以百万的人参加该课程,但是大部分都不是重点大学的,而且让人激动的是他们打算利用网络教育提高贫困地区的教育,故选E.
