Question

【題目】 Ned and Miles are students at different colleges. Ned applies for an online school, while Miles attends classes on a school campus. The two students each believe that their school system is better than the other.

Ned: Hey, Miles. Are you free to see a movie tomorrow night?

Miles: Sorry, no. I’ll have a class tomorrow and a lot of homework to finish up.

Ned: Oh, that’s too bad. I’m so glad I take classes online. I can decide when, where and how to complete my lessons. It saves a lot of time.

Miles: It sounds good, but I actually really enjoy going to class because it’s a great way to get to know other people. It also helps me learn how to work well with others. If I don’t understand something, I’m always able to ask about it in person. That saves me a lot of time and prevents misunderstanding.

Ned: In an online class, I have to think thoroughly (徹底地) before asking questions. That teaches me how to solve problems on my own.

Miles: Do you ever run into technical (技術(shù)上的) problems in your online classes? If you can’t open a file, how can you continue your learning?

Ned: It’s not a big problem. I can email the teacher or contact another student for help.

Miles: But answering questions through emails takes too much time. You may fall behind on your studies.

Ned: You can fall behind, too. What if you get sick or your class gets canceled because the weather is bad? Those aren’t problems for online classes.

Miles: Yes, but there’s usually a make-up (彌補(bǔ)) class if a class is canceled.

Ned: In an online class, I don’t have to worry about missing classes for any reason. I can always review the previous (之前的) lessons online.

Miles: Don’t you feel lonely sometimes? I would feel lonely if I had to learn on my own.

Ned: I’m confident in learning by myself. Besides, an online class gives me more free time to take part in other activities.

Miles: I still prefer having classmates to brainstorm and discuss ideas with. I believe that improves my learning all the time.

Ned: I’m pretty self-disciplined (自律的), and I work better on my own. I can’t focus when working with others.

Miles: I guess everybody learn differently.

本文講述了內(nèi)德申請(qǐng)了一所上網(wǎng)課的學(xué)校，而邁爾斯是在學(xué)校里上課，兩人都認(rèn)為自己學(xué)校上課的方式是最好的，對(duì)此產(chǎn)生了一些爭(zhēng)論。

【1】根據(jù)Ned applies for an online school及The two students each believe that their school system is better than the other，可知，內(nèi)德申請(qǐng)的是一所上網(wǎng)課的學(xué)校，并認(rèn)為他學(xué)校的系統(tǒng)是比其他學(xué)校更好的，所以他更喜歡上網(wǎng)課。原句是一個(gè)反意疑問句，答句與實(shí)際情況一致即可，所以空格處填No, he doesn’t。故答案為No, he doesn’t。

【2】根據(jù)I’ll have a class tomorrow and a lot of homework to finish up，可知，因?yàn)樗�明天有一堂課，并且要完成許多作業(yè)，所以不能跟內(nèi)德一起去看電影，故空格處填Because he will have a class the next day and a lot of homework to finish up。故答案為Because he will have a class the next day and a lot of homework to finish up。

【3】根據(jù)I can email the teacher or contact another student for help，可知，如果內(nèi)德上網(wǎng)課遇到了技術(shù)上的問題，他可以發(fā)郵件給老師或聯(lián)系其他學(xué)生尋求幫助，所以空格處填He can email the teacher or contact another student for help。故答案為He can email the teacher or contact another student for help。

【4】根據(jù)In an online class, I don’t have to worry about missing classes for any reason. I can always review the previous (之前的) lessons online，可知，在線上課，不用擔(dān)心因?yàn)槿魏卧�因錯(cuò)過了課程。因?yàn)榭梢曰仡欀�前的線上課程，所以空格處填He can review the previous lessons online。故答案為He can review the previous lessons online。

【5】根據(jù)I still prefer having classmates to brainstorm and discuss ideas with. I believe that improves my learning all the time，可知，邁爾斯更喜歡跟同學(xué)們一起頭腦風(fēng)暴和討論想法，這個(gè)可以提高他的學(xué)習(xí)，所以空格處填Brainstorming and discussing ideas with classmates。故答案為Brainstorming and discussing ideas with classmates。

【6】我更喜歡上網(wǎng)課，因?yàn)椴挥脫?dān)心因?yàn)槿魏卧�因而錯(cuò)過了之前的課程，而且上網(wǎng)課很方便，我可以決定任何地方，任何時(shí)間去完成課程，所以空格處填I like to have classes online better, because I don’t have to worry about missing classes for any reason. I can review the previous lessons online. And it’s very convenience, I can decide when, where and how to complete my lessons。故答案為I like to have classes online better, because I don’t have to worry about missing classes for any reason.
