Distance learning has moved far away from the traditional correspondence course, aimed at

the individual student working alone. The global reach of the Internet makes it possible to unite geographically scattered students in a virtual classroom. Methods such as multimedia, video-conferencing and the Internet will increasingly allow students both to proceed at their own pace, and to interact with one another and their teachers.

Even without taking the technology to its limits, the idea of education as a lifelong process is catching on throughout the industrialized world. Already, working adults who pursue their studies part-time make up roughly half of students taking college courses in the United States.

However, there is debate in scholar circles about how far new technology should be used for teaching academic subjects in which personal contacts between teacher and student are still vital. Britain's Open University, for example, a world leader in distance education, has embraced information technology cautiously, believing it to be no substitute for books and the exchange of ideas at live tutorials and summer schools.

But the Open University is also moving with the tide. It has set up a "knowledge media institute" to explore ways of adopting information technology. Some teachers are concerned about this trend, arguing that the heavy investment that students are expected to make in computer and communications equipment contradicts the concept of "open" cost, of course, is and important factor in many developing countries, where few people have computers or even phones. Rather than uniting the world, the new technologies could lead to societies of information haves and have-nots.

Distance learning is different from the traditional correspondence course in that______.

A．it requires the individual student to work alone

B．it enables all the students to work at the same pace

C．it allows students to discuss with one another and their teachers

D．it enables geographically scattered students to study in the same physical classroom

第5题

Americans had always been preoccupied with reforming their society, with "making it over,"

and between the 1890s and the end of the First World War, the reform. spirit intensified. More and more people tried to address the problem of their time directly, to impose order on a confusing world, and, especially, to create a conflict-free society. Their efforts, inspired by a complicated mixture of calculated self-interest and unselfish benevolence, helped what can be called the Progressive era. The urge for reform. had many sources. Industrialization had brought unprecedented productivity, awesome technology, and plenty of consumer goods. But it had also included labor struggle, waste of natural resources, and abuse of corporate power. Rapidly growing cities facilitated the accumulation and distribution of goods, services, and cultural amenities but also magnified problems of poverty, disease, crime, and political corruption. Massive inflows of immigrants and the rise of a new class of managers and professionals shook the foundations of old social classes. And the depression that crippled the nation in the 1890s made many leading citizens realize what working people had known for some time: the central promise of American life was not being kept; equality of opportunity-whether economic, political, or social--was a myth.

Progressives tried to resolve these problems by organizing ideas and actions around three basic themes. First, they sought to end abuses of power. Second, progressives aimed to replace corrupt power with the power of reformed institutions such as schools, charities, medical clinics, and the family. Third, progressives wanted to apply principles of science and efficiency on a nationwide scale to all economic, social, and political institutions, to minimize social and economic disorder and to establish cooperation, especially, between business and government, that would end wasteful competition and labor conflict.

Befitting their name, progressives had strong faith in the ability of humankind to create a better world. More than ever before, Americans looked to government as an agent of the people that could and should intervene in social and economic relations to protect the common good and substitute public interest for self-interest.

The passage is primarily concerned with ______.

A．the reasons for the Progressive Movement

B．the problems that American society faced between the 1890s and the end of World War I

C．the causes and contents of the Progressive reform

D．the belief that Americans possessed in their society

Section B

Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.

听力原文： Do you know how to advertise for a bank？ If you ask people about the functions of a bank, they would probably say that the bank is where you can deposit money and cash a check. But it's much more than these. And we have to tell people this in our advertisement.

There are several things to think about for a bank advertisement. (26)The first problem is to decide who should be our audience. Should our advertisement be aimed at adults with full employment only？ Or should it also appeal to students, housewives, retired workers, or even children？ It is a good idea to address the largest possible audience. If we introduce the name of our bank to children they will never forget it.

The next question is how to attract people of different social groups to our bank. The usual tip is to offer free gifts, for example, portable radios or T-shirts for the young and gold pens for business executives. That always works. But what do we give to our best customers？ That's another question. What about leather diaries, for example？

Banks are very competitive. We have to think of something new to offer our customers. That's the third problem. Ours is one of the first banks to have drive-in service and to open on Saturdays, but now many banks do. Most banks also offer a variety of checking and saving accounts and a full range of investment plans to suit the needs of their customers, as well as the 24-hour ATM banking which makes it much faster and easier for customers to withdraw cash or do other things. (27)To attract more customers to our bank, it is essential that we have something that no other bank offers.

(27)

A．Business executives, housewives and college students.

B．Parents planning for their children's education.

C．Adults with or without full employment, students, housewives, and retired people.

D．Best customers only.

第二篇Milosevic’s Death Former Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic was found dead last Sa

第二篇Milosevic’s Death

Former Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic was found dead last Saturday in his cell at the Hague-based International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.The 64-year-old had been on trial there since February 2002.

Born in provincial Pozarevac in 1941,he was the second son of a priest and a school teacher.Both of his parents died when he was still a young adult.The young Milosevic was“untypical”,says Slavoljub Djukic,his unofficial biographer.He was“not interested in sports,avoided excursions(短途旅行)and used to come to school dressed in the old-fashioned way-white shirt and tie.”One of his old friends said,he could“imagine him as a station-master or punctilious(一丝不苟的)civil servant.”职称英语教材

Indeed that is exactly what he might have become,had he not married Mira.She was widely believed to be his driving force.

At university and beyond he did well.He worked for various firms and was a communist party member.By 1986 he was head of Serbia’s Central Committee.But still he had not yet really been noticed.

It was Kosovo that gave him his chance.An autonomous province of Serbia,Kosovo was home to an Albanian majority and a Serbian minority.In 1989,he was sent there to calm fears of Serbians who felt they were discriminated against.But instead he played the nationalist card and became their champion.In so doing,he changed into a ruthless (无情的) and determined man.At home with Mira he plotted the downfall of his political enemies.Conspiring(密谋)with the director of Serbian TV,he mounted a modern media campaign which aimed to get him the most power in the country.

He was elected Serbian president in 1990.In 1997,he became president of Yugoslavia.The rest of the story is well-known:his nationalist card caused Yugoslavia’s other ethnic groups to fight for their own rights,power and lands.Yugoslavia broke up when four of the six republics declared independence in 1991.War started and lasted for years and millions died.Then Western countries intervened.NATO bombed Yugoslavia,and he eventually stepped down as state leader in 2000.

Soon after this,Serbia’s new government,led by Zoran Djindjic,arrested him and sent him to face justice at the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal in the Hague.

36.Where did Milosevic die？

A.In a basement.

B.In a prison.

C.In Kosovo.

D.In his own country.

In the 1920s demand for American farm products fell, as European countries began to re

cover from World War I and instituted austerity(紧缩)programs to reduce their imports.The result was a sharp drop in farm prices.This period was more disastrous for farmers than earlier times had been, because farmers were no longer self-sufficient.They were paying for machinery, seed, and fertilizer, and they were also buying consumer goods.The prices of the items farmers bought remained constant, while prices they received for their products fell.These developments were made worse by the Great Depression, which began in 1929 and extended throughout the 1930s.In 1929, under President Herbert Hoover, the Federal Farm Board was organized.It established the principle of direct interference with supply and demand, and it represented the first national commitment to provide greater economic stability for farmers.President Hoovers successor attached even more importance to this problem.One of the first measures proposed by President Franklind.Roosevelt when he took office in 1933 was the Agricultural Adjustment Act, which was subsequently passed by Congress.This law was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court on the grounds that general taxes were being collected to pay one special group of people.However, new laws were passed immediately that achieved the same result of resting soil and providing flood-control measures, but which were based on the principle of soil conservation.The Roosevelt Administration believed that rebuilding the nations soil was in the national interest and was not simply a plan to help farmers at the expense of other citizens.Later the government guaranteed loans to farmers so that they could buy farm machinery, hybrid(杂交)grain, and fertilizers.

1.What brought about the decline in the demand for American farm products？ ()

A.The impact of the Great Depression

第9题

The multi-billion-dollar Western pop music industry is under fire. It is being blamed by t

he United Nations for the dramatic rise in drug abuse worldwide. "The most worrisome development is a culture of drug-friendliness that seems to be gaining prominence (显著) ," said the UN's 13-member International Narcotics Control Board in a report released in late February 1998.

The 74-page study says that pop music, as a global industry, is by far the most influential trend-setter for young people of most cultures. "Some lyrics advocate the smoking of marijuana (大麻) or taking other drugs, and certain pop stars make statements and set examples as if the use of drugs for non-medicinal purposes were a normal and acceptable part of a person's lifestyle," the study says.

"Surprisingly", says the Board, "the effect of drug-friendly pop music seems to survive despite the occasional shock of death by overdose (过量用药). Such incidents tend to be seen as an occasion to mourn the loss of a role model, and not an opportunity to confront the deadly effect of recreational drug use." Since the 1970s, several internationally famous singers and movie stars--including Elvis Presley, Janice Joplin, John Belushi, Jimi Hendrix, Jonathan Melvin and Andy Gibbs--have died of either drug abuse or drug related illnesses. With the globalization of popular music, messages tolerating or promoting drug abuse are now reaching beyond their countries of origin. "In most countries, the names of certain pop stars have become familiar to the members of every household, "the study says.

The UN study also blames the media for its description of certain drug issues--especially the use of marijuana and issues of liberalization and legalization, which encourages, rather than prevents, drug abuse. "Over the last years, we have seen how drug abuse is increasingly regarded as being acceptable or even attractive, " says Harold Ghodse, president of the Board. "Powerful pressure groups run political campaigns aimed at legalizing controlled drugs," he says. Ghodse also points out that all these developments have created an environment which is tolerant of or even favorable to drug abuse and spoils international drug prevention efforts currently underway.

The present study, he says, focuses on the issue of demand reduction and prevention within an environment that has become tolerant of drug abuse. The Board calls on governments to do their legal and moral duties, and to act against the pro-drug messages of the youth culture to which young people increasingly are being exposed.

Which of the following statements does the author tend to agree with？

A．The use of drugs for non-medicinal purposes is an acceptable part of a person's lifestyle.

B．The spreading of pop music may cause the drug abuse to go beyond the boundaries of the country.

C．No efforts have been made to prevent the spreading of drug abuse.

D．The governments have no ability to act against the pro-drug messages of the youth culture.

第10题

（题干）Soldiers and other military people wear uniforms with various other symbols to indic

ate their status. But in the business world everyone wears more or less similar suits, and you cannot tell at a glance who ranks higher or lower than another. So how do people in the business world show their superiority？ An attempt to study this was made by two researchers using a series of silent films. They had two actors play the parts of an executive (經理) and a visitor, and switch roles each time. The scene had one man at his desk playing the part of an executive, while the other, playing the part of a visitor, knocks at the door, opens it and approaches the desk to discuss some business matter. The audience watching the films was asked to rate the executive and the visitor in terms of status. A certain set of rules about status began to emerge from the ratings. The visitor showed the least amount of status when he stopped just inside the door to talk across the room to the seated man. He was considered to have more status when he walked halfway up to the desk, and he had the most status when he walked directly up to the desk and stood right in front of the seated executive. Another thing that affected the status of the visitor in the eyes of the observers was the time between knocking and entering. For the seated executive, his status was also affected by the time between hearing the knock and answering. The quicker the visitor entered the room, the more status he had. The longer the executive took to answer, the more status he had. The experiment designed by the two researchers aimed at finding out __________ .A. how business is conducted by an executive and a visitor

B. how to tell the differences between an executive and a visitor

C. how to tell businessmen at a glance

D. how businessmen indicate status

Which of the statements can best sum up the passage？A.The executive has a higher status than the visitor

B.Military people wear uniforms but the businessmen do not

C.A study revealing a set of rules about the status of businessmen

D.It is a good method to use a series of silent film in research

The longer the seated man was in answering the knock, __________ .A.the higher his status

B.the less it affected his status

C.the lower his status

D.the more it affected his status

Having entered the room, the closer the visitor approaches the executive, __________ .A.the less it affected his status
