题目内容
2.阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式.For you,the"Clear and Bright"day that falls in every April might be no more than just another holiday-the fact that it comes with three days off school matters to most students(61)more (much) than the fact that it is part of the 24 solar terms (二十四节气).
But this ancient system that Chinese people have used(62)to keep (keep) track of the time of year was added to the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity(人类非物质文化遗产) on Nov.30.
To be fair,the terms do sound old;they(63)were invented(invent) thousands of years ago to offer weather information for agricultural(64)activities (activity).But the truth is(65)that they still have an influence on our lives today,even if we don't realize it most of the time.For example,people from(66)northern(north)China are in the habit of eating dumplings(67)on the day of Winter Solstice (冬至).And on Start of Autumn,some treat(68)themselves(they) to a big feast,especially of meat,something they call"putting on autumn weight",or tieqiubiao.According to Chinese writer and academic Yu Shicun,the system is a philosophy of time,(69)whichapplies to everything.And this means they are(70)unlikely(likely) to die out.
分析 本文主要讲述与二十四节气相关的一些习俗.
解答 61.more 考查副词比较.根据句中than,用比较级.
62.to keep 考查动词不定式.此处动词不定式表示目的,用目的状语.
63.were invented 考查动词时态和语态.they与invent之间是动宾关系,且根据句中时间状语 thousands of years ago,用一般过去时的被动语态.
64.activities 考查名词复数."农业活动"不止一个,要用复数形式.
65.that 考查连词.表语从句they still have an influence on our lives today,even if we don't realize it most of the time是完整的,用连接词that引导.
66.northern 考查形容词.China是名词,其前加形容词northern作定语.
67.on 考查介词.在具体的一天用介词on.
68.themselves 考查代词.根据句意:一些人犒赏自己一顿大餐.用反身代词themselves.
69.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a philosophy of time在从句中作主语,用关系代词which.
70.unlikely 考查固定搭配.根据句意:这意味着它们不太可能消失.be unlikely to do意为"不大可能做",是固定搭配.

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.
