解析:
第1题,这些内容都是以the National Association 0f Scholars为依据的。因此选A。
第2题,上文讲的是大学的情况,下文要讲的是中小学的情况,两者“比较起来”,应为“By comparison”。 第3题,require意为“要求;需要”,其他选项的词义与文章上下文不符。 第4题,一节课平均的时间长短应该用length(名词),因此选B。 第5题,fallen在此句中表时间长度“减少”。 第6题,上文讲的是数据,此处得出“结论”。 第7题,此处的“结论”即学习时间减少了,与上文语义一致。 第8题,time指“时间”时是不可数名词,故应排除选项B,只有<span lang=EN-US style='mso-bidi-font-size:10.5pt; color:black'>number可表“总量”。 第9题,此句中使用的是“spend+some time+doing sth.”句型。 第10题,根据文章前两段可得出此答案。 第11题,大学认为时间缩短了,但效率提高了。 第12题,took place在此句中意为“进行”。 第13题,传统的教学理念是指在课堂上和通过阅读写作进行。因此选A。 第14题,write assignments是固定的动宾搭配,意为“写作业”。 第15题,rather than是固定词组,意为“而不是”。 第16题,通过计算机或者其他方式和教授聊天。因此用chat with. 第17题,information technology(IT)意为“信息技术”。 第18题,“It is likely that…”是常用句型,likely是形容词,意为“可能的”。lovely也是形容词,但意为“可爱的”,与上下文语义不符。A、B两个选项是副词,属语法错误,故应排除。 第19题,依据后边的than they used to可以判断应该用比较级,较少的时间,因此选A。 第20题,本篇短文讲的是“在教室里”学习时间的多少,故选C。
