Beginning this fall, a number of courses developed by teachers at both universities will be offered online through a new $60 million program, known as edX. Anyone with an Internet connection anywhere in the world can use our online courses, Harvard President Drew Faust said during a meeting to announce the plan. MIT has offered a program called OpenCourseWare for ten years that makes materials from more than 2,000 classes free online. It has been used by more than 100 million people. In December, the school announced it also would begin offering a special certificate, known as MITx, for people who plete certain online courses. Harvard has long offered courses to a wider population through a similar program. The MITx will serve as the foundation for the new learning platform. MIT President Susan Hockfield said more than 120,000 people signed up for the first MITx course. She said Harvard and MIT hope other universities will join them in offering courses on the open-source edX platform. Fasten your seatbelts, Hockfield said. Other universities, including Stanford, Yale and Carnegie-Mellon, have been experimenting with teaching to a global population online. The Harvard-MIT program will be monitored by a not-for-profit(非盈利的) organization based in Cambridge, to be owned equally by the two universities. Both MIT and Harvard have provided $30 million to start the program. They also plan to use the edX platform to research how students learn and which teaching methods and tools are most successful.25.

But its not that unrealistic, with the development of Chinas high-speed railway system. And thats not all. China has an even greater high-speed railway plan to connect the country with Southeast Asia, and eventually Eastern EuropeChina is negotiating to extend its own high-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15 years, eventually reaching London and SingaporeChina has proposed three such projects. The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore via Vietnam and MalaysiaAnother could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan，and possibly to GermanyThe third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western EuropeIf Chinas plan for the high-speed railway goes forward，people could zip over from London to Beijing in under two daysThe new system would still follow Chinas high-speed railway standard. And the trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour, almost as fast as some airplanesChinas high-speed train, the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou, already has the Worlds fastest average speed. It covers 1,069 kilometers in about three hoursOf course，there are some technical challenges to overeThere are so many issues that need to be settled, such as safety, rail gauge(轨距), maintenance of railway tracks. So，its important to pay attention to every detailBut the key issue is really money. China is already spending hundreds of billions of Yuan on domestic railway expansionChina prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources rather than with capital investment. Resources from those countries could stream into China to sustain developmentItll be a win-win project. For other countries, the railway network will definitely create more opportunities for business，tourism and so on，not to mention the better munication among those countriesFor China，such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources, but would also help develop Chinas far westWe foresee that in the ing decades, millions of people will migrate to the western regions，where the land is empty and resources unused. With high-speed trains，people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for all. And theyll trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries29. Chinas new high-speed railway plan will be a win-win project because_A. Chinawill get much-needed resources and develop its western regionsB. Chinaand the countries involved will benefit from the project in various waysC. Chinawill develop its railway system and munication with other countriesD. the foreign countries involved will develop their railway transportation，business and tourism30. According to the passage，the greatest challenge to the new high-speed railway plan is A. technical issues B. safety of the system C. financial problems D. maintenance of railway tracks31. Which of the following words best describes the authors attitude towardsChinas high-speed railway plan?A. Critical B. Reserved C. Doubtful D. Positive32. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. New Railway Standards B. Big Railway DreamsC. High-speed Bullet Trains D. International Railway NetworkDDo you have any strong opinion on co-educations or single-sex schools?A supporter of co-educational schools would probably say that schools should be like the societies they belong to. In Hong Kong, men and women mix socially on a day-to-day basisIn many fields men are even likely to have female bosses. It is, therefore, desirable that boys and girls grow up together, go to school together, and prepare themselves for a society that does not value sexual separationSome would go on to argue further that growing up with members of the opposite sex is important for personal developmentRegular contact can remove the strange ideas about the opposite sex and lead to more natural relationships. Single-sex conditions are seen as leading to more extreme opinions, and possibly even as encouraging homosexuality(同性恋), though there is no proof that this is the case.Those who are against co-education often also fix their attention on the sexual side. Some parents fear that close contact with members of the opposite sex is dangerous for teenagers. They want their children to be attentive to their studies. Such parents feel unfortable with modern ways and the free mixing of the sexes.A stronger argument es from research into school results. Girls grow up earlier than boys, tend to be more orderly and are likely to be better at languages. In a mixed class, boys who might do well in a single-sex class bee discouraged and take on the role of troublemaker. Certainly in the UK this situation has greatly alarmed the government for it to be encouraging co-educational schools to have some single-sex classes. In the UK the best schools are all single-sex, strongly suggesting that co-education is not the best answer. This may, however, not be as simple as it looks. It may simply be that the famous old schools that attract the best students happen to be single-sex, rather than that being single-sex makes them better schools.33. The underlined word “attentive” in Para.3 most probably means _.A. accessible B. addicted C. devoted D. accustomed34. Alarmed by the situation, the UK government encourages _A. co-education B. single-sex classes in co-educational schoolsC. single-sex education D. co-educational classes in single-sex schools35. At the end of the passage the writer suggests that _A. single-sex schools are the best schools in the UKB. being single-sex does not necessarily make a school betterC. co-educational schools are better for both sexes in personal developmentD. because boys cannot pete with girls in study, they go to single-sex school第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两处为多余选项。The jobs of the future have not yet been invented. 36 By helping them develop classic skills that will serve them well no matter what the future holds.1.
