D. College students need to work hard if they are to make full use of online resources.

1. B。由文章开篇的问题“Will young people in the future get the same kind of higher education as they do today?”可知本文讨论的是“future higher education”的发展,列举了Bill Gates等人关于将来高等教育的一些观点,认为现在的大学教育亟待改革,充分利用网络才能跟上时代,否则会太落后。
2. C。根据文章开始Gates的观点和该段上文的提示,不能创新和与时俱进,结果当然是“落伍,落后于潮流”,所以答案为C。
3. C。根据第三段的“Five years from now on the web for free you’ll be able to find the best lectures in the world”以及第四段“argues that textbooks are of lower quality than resources available online”可知C项正确。由第四段“the high expense of college tuition fees”可知网络资源相对现在大学教育便宜,A项的后半部分文中没有提及,由倒数第二段可知网络上的游戏资源是学生学习的很大干扰因素,故B项不对;D项文中没有提及。
4. D。文中多次列举Bill Gates的观点,第二段“thinks the idea of a college education is on the way out”,第三段“… you’ll be able to find the best lectures in the world” 、“It will be better than any single university”可知Gates对现在的高等教育的发展是持怀疑态度的,所以A、B不对;Gates没有提及网络大学一定会取代传统大学,C项不对; 根据最后一段“students would need to be as hard-working as ever”可知D项正确。

1. C。从第三段I, on the other hand, am unable to share their enthusiasm 以及他把Burbures所创的记录评价为as meaningful as most of the other curious but crazy feats从curious(这里指奇怪的)和crazy可知meaningful是反语。还有后面的chasing meaningless accolades都说明他认为像Burbures这样的吉尼斯纪录不值得那样的“欢欣鼓舞”,甚至是没有意义的事。
2. C。从第四段末尾train for years to sing an 80-hour medley (集成曲) of pop songs.可判断。
3. D。文章第一段就告诉我们他连续唱了80小时的歌对声带造成了损伤。
4.  C。作者对文中提及的吉尼斯纪录有批判的否定的态度。他甚至认为厚厚的Guinness Book of World Records ,人们看都不看。除了想破纪录的人。

A. A new phone – the Apple Peel 520.
B. A new use for the iPod Touch.
C. An invention – the Apple Peel 520.
D. iPhone, iPod Touch and the Apple Peel 520.

1. C。C符合第一段converting (转变) it into a media player and phone.所以正确。从第七段谈到the Peel的缺陷可以排除A。根据120 hours on standby待机时间很长,所以B错误。根据第三段可以排除D。
2. 根据clip所搭配的词online video可以判断B正确。
3. D。根据是第六段的引语“It is the first time there has been a hardware (硬件) application that has changed the functionality (功能性) in such a key way”。而其他单从文章是不能得出这样的结论的。
4. 全文都是围绕新产品the Apple Peel 520写的,所以C正确。

The rider replied, “Sure.” Seeing the old man was unable to      8      his half-frozen body from the ground, the horseman got down and helped the old man onto the horse. The horseman took the old man not just across the river, but to his destination.
As they neared the tiny but cozy (舒适的) cottage, the horseman’s      9      caused him to ask, “Sir, I notice that you let several other riders go by without making a(n)      10      to get a ride. Then I came up and you      11      asked me for a ride. I’m curious why, on such a bitter winter night, you would wait and ask the last rider.      12      I had refused and left you there?”
The old man replied, “I’ve been      13      here for some time. I think I know people pretty good.” He continued, “I looked into the eyes of the other riders and immediately saw there was no      14      for my situation. But when I looked into your eyes,        15      was clear. I knew,      16     , that your gentle spirit would      17      the opportunity to give me help in my time of      18     .”
Those heartwarming comments      19      the horseman deeply.
“I’m most grateful for what you have said,” he told the old man. “May I never get too busy in my own affairs that I      20      to respond to the needs of others with kindness and compassion.”

1. B。从第三段最后一句not just across the river可知B正确。
2. D。通常等待的人都会觉得时间过得慢,而这样寒冷的夜晚就更漫长,另外下段的at last,以及后面的老人都冻僵了的描写都是线索。所以D正确。
3. A。从第五段老人解释他为什么只向最后一位骑手求助的原因可以看出,他是根据这些骑手的眼神做出判断的,所以watch正确。从第四段wait and ask the last rider可知在看到最后一位骑手前,他没做什么,而且他都冻僵了也没法走动,所以其他选项都不正确。
4. C。根据第四段…I notice that you let several other riders go by…可判断。
5. D。从第四段wait and ask the last rider可知。
6. B。词组“catch sb’s eye” means to look at someone at the same moment that they are looking at you,意思是于某人对视。而第五段老者的解释:I looked into your eyes也证明了这点。See one’s eye只是说看到某人的眼睛,而且用eye的单数也不合理。
7. C。明显是走路走不到,从最后一段Thomas Jefferson, the White House也可以知道那时候还没有bus和car。
8. C。因为冻僵了,所以起不来,所以lift正确。Push是推,所以错。Stand搭配错误。
9. D。从后面的I’m curious可知D正确。
10. C。从第四段wait and ask the last rider可知在看到最后一位骑手前,老人没做什么,所以effort努力正确。
11. A。从第五段末尾老者解释的话中点明了最后一位骑手的眼神中他看出了他的gentle spirit会乐意帮助他,说明立刻作出了决定,而从整个求助可以看出老者一点都不慌张,所以排除B,而friendly意思似乎正确,但是形容词,不可以修饰动词。
12. B。骑手是对老者的镇定和选择很好奇,就问他他怎么知道他一定会帮忙呢?如果他拒绝帮忙呢?所以what if 正确。How come怎么会……; if only要是……(就好了);what about……怎么样。
13. C。around指住在这一带有很久了。BD和上下文根本说不通。如果用in就是强调在里面,所以也不对。
14. A。
15. B。可以看出老人发现只有最后一位骑手充满善意和同情心,而其他的骑手眼中看不出对他的状况有丝毫的关心,所以A正确。
16. A。只一眼就很明了,所以是老人当时当地就明白了可以向他求助。
17. D。有同情心的人欢迎这样帮助别人的机会。Offer是提供机会。Create创造,但是都不符合文中的情况。
18. A。老人处于需要帮助的情况,所以选need。
19. C。从骑手的回答可看出他很感动。
20. D。fail to不能做到,或者做不到。May I never…意思是希望我永远不会太忙以至于不能回应别人的需求。
