Question

阅读理解 　　By the end of this year, the contents of all 1 800 courses taught at one of the world's most famous universities will be available online to anyone in the world, anywhere in the world．Learners won't have to register(注册)for the classes, and everyone is accepted． 　　The cost? It's all free of charge． 　　The Open Course Ware(OCW)movement, begun at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)in 2002 and now spread to some 120 other universities worldwide, aims to spread knowledge to anyone who has an Internet connection and a desire to learn． 　　OCW provides free access to course materials such as video lectures, notes, homework and so on．By giving away their content, the universities are not discouraging students from joining them．Instead, the online materials appear to be only attracting more． 　　The MIT site, along with companion sites that translate the materials into other languages, now average about 1.4 million visits per month from learners in every single country on the planet． 　　So-called “distance learning” over the Internet is not new．Students have been able to pay for online courses at many institutions, either to receive credits(学分)or simply as a noncredit adult-learning experience．Many universities also offer free materials delivered through the Internet．But the total number and variety of the educational materials being released(发布)provided by MIT is simply shocking．For example, each of the 29 courses that Tufts University in Medford, Mass．, has put online so far is exactly the size of a textbook．The material provides much more than an outline of a course．Visitors to Tufts' OCW course on “Wildlife Medicine” call it the most complete website on that topic in the world． 　　What OCW is not, its supporters agree, is a substitute for attending a university．For one thing, OCW learners are not able to receive instructions from a professor－or to discuss the course with fellow students．It is believed that a college education is really the total package of students working with other students, forming networks, communicating with teachers, and that whole environment of being associated with the school． (1) The purpose of the OCW movement is ________． [　　] A． to help reduce the expenses of university education B． to win for MIT an advantage over other universities C． to provide educational materials through the Internet D． to make knowledge available to learners on the Internet (2) According to the passage, what OCW learners won't have is ________． [　　] A． free online course materials B． credits after attending the courses C． a non-credit adult-learning experience D． normal communication with teachers and classmates (3) The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means ________． [　　] A． OCW cannot take the place of normal university education B． OCW is believed to be a perfect match for attending a university C． OCW can offer students more materials than attending a university D． OCW can help learners complete university education at a low cost (4) The passage is written mainly to ________． [　　] A． excite young people's learning desire B． praise MIT for spreading knowledge C． inform people about the OCW movement D． tell people how to go to MIT for free

Answer 1

答案：1．D;2．D;3．A;4．C;
解析：

(1)	考查细节理解题。根据文章第三段中aims to spread knowledge to anyone who has an Internet connection and a desire to learn．可知。
(2)	考查细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中For one thing, OCW learners are not able to receive instructions from a professor－or to discuss the course with fellow students．可知D项正确。
(3)	考查句意理解题。本句话的意思为“大多数支持者一致认为OCW不是一个可以代替上大学的替代物。”或者根据下文所具体提到的内容也可以判断出参加OCW课程与真正的上大学是不同的。所以选A。
(4)	解析：考查判断推理题。根据文章内容可以判断出本篇文章主要介绍的是有关The Open Course W are的一些基本情况。 　　文章大意：本文主要介绍了旨在向那些有网络连接并且希望学习的人们传播知识的OCW远程学习方式。人们可以通过网络免费地享受OCW提供的详尽的课程资源。当然了，这样的学习方式并不能够真正地取代上大学学习。
