分析 本文主要介绍当你没有听清楚别人所说的话时,如何礼貌地请别人重复刚才说过的话.
解答 61.interviews 考查名词复数.interview是可数名词,用复数形式.
62.repeatedly 考查副词.ask动词,要用副词修饰,动词repeat的副词是repeatedly.
63.pronunciation 考查名词.分析句子结构,句中缺少主语,动词pronounce的名词是pronunciation.
64.hearing 考查动名词.for是介词,后接动词时用动名词形式.
65.with 考查固定搭配.begin with意为"以…开始,从…开始",是固定搭配.
66.what 考查连词.分析句子结构,句中缺少主语,用what作主语,同时引导宾语从句.
67.but 考查连词.I'm sorry,but…是一种句式,表示客气地提出异议或拒绝(其后常接but分句),意为:对不起;很抱歉.
68.disappointing 考查现在分词.现在分词作表语主要表示主语的性质和特征.
69.yourself 考查代词.确信归罪于你自己.用反身代词yourself.
70.more comfortable 考查形容词比较级.far用于比较级前起修饰作用,因comfortable是多音节形容词,其前加more构成比较级.

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.

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.
