2、a group of engineering seniors huddled, discussing the exam due to begin in a few minutes. On their faces was confidence. This was their last exam before they went on to commencement and jobs. 　　 Some talked of jobs they already had; others of jobs they would get. With all this assurance of fou

3、r years of college study, they felt ready and able to conquer the world. 　　 The approaching exam, they knew, would be a snap. The professor had said they could bring any books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not talk to each other during the test. 　　 Jubilantly, they file

4、d into the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And their smiles broadened as the students noted there were only five essay-type questions. 　　 Three hours passed. Then the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened e

These questions you could not answer are relatively common in everyday practice.” Then, smiling, she added: “You will all pass this course, but remember that even though you are now college graduates, your education has just begun .” 　　 The

11、日常生活中很常見。"她笑了笑，接著說，"這門課你們都能通過，但要記住，你們雖然已經(jīng)大學(xué)畢業(yè)，但學(xué)習(xí)才剛剛開始。" 　　 多年后，我已忘了這位老師的姓名，但牢牢記住了她的教誨。 Passage A Notes to the Text 1.

30、--------------------------------------------------------- 　　 Education plays a very important role in everybody's life. We go to school because we want to know more about the world around us and at the same time extend our horizons of thinking. The typical classroom used to be the place where teach

31、ers and students were working and exploring the wonderful world of knowledge together, but now everything has changed. Technology is taking over those interactions and introducing us to a whole new approach of learning. 　　 The Internet is one of those approaches. Learning via the Internet is a n

32、ew style that many people believe is more successful than the conventional form of teaching. The Internet allows schools to develop a large amount of learning material that is accessible for students online anytime. There are so many choices of courses and subjects or time frames that completing a p

33、rogram is not an issue for students anymore. We found that online education gives us excellent sources of information, saves our time, money and it is extremely convenient. 　　 Not long ago we used to go to the library every time we needed information and spent hours searching for the right sour

34、ces. Today there is a "library" in our house and it is available 24 hours a day. From my personal experience, as a first time mother, I found that using information online is very helpful. While I am at home with my baby, I am still able to connect to the world and search for any educational materia

35、ls I need. I am also able to exchange thoughts, opinions and information with my classmates without leaving my house. 　　 The Internet is not only a big information provider but also saves us money and time. People are predicting that education will be much cheaper in the future because of Intern

36、et access to information. The cost of land, buildings and wages for teachers are continuously increasing and that makes conventional education more expensive than online education. In addition, regular courses (offline) depend heavily on books and other traditional paper-based materials while online

37、 education posts lectures, notes, and assignments electronically and that saves thousands of dollars every year. There is also no need for the classroom itself because most programs online require participation in discussion and group projects via e-mail. 　　 The Internet classes and courses are

38、also very convenient because there are no physical restrictions as in conventional education like space and time limitations. First, in classroom-based education there is a limitation on the number of students that are allowed in each class while Internet education is available to everyone because a

39、 classroom is not an issue there. Students don't have to struggle in order to register for the classes they like. In addition, there is no time limitation so students can repeat exercises as many times as they need. 　　 Education will spread out more and more online and students will have more ch

40、oices on how and when to take their courses and classes. They will easily be able to take the classes they want and repeat material on the Internet as many times as they need. The Internet is a wonderful opportunity to have a good time but also to learn something in a convenient and less expensive w

41、ay. In my opinion online life in the future is simply inescapable. (546 words) Passage A Translation ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A篇 因特網(wǎng)與教育 　　教育在每個(gè)人的生活中都扮演著一個(gè)非常重要的角色。我們上學(xué)是因?yàn)橄肓私庵車氖澜?，同時(shí)也拓寬自己的視野。過去，傳統(tǒng)的教室常是老師和學(xué)生共同研究和探索美妙的知識(shí)世界的場(chǎng)所，但現(xiàn)在，一切都發(fā)生了改變。先

42、進(jìn)的技術(shù)正逐步取代這些交互式的活動(dòng)并給我們帶來一種全新的學(xué)習(xí)方式。 　　國際因特網(wǎng)便是其中的方式之一。通過因特網(wǎng)學(xué)習(xí)是一種新的學(xué)習(xí)方式，許多人認(rèn)為它比傳統(tǒng)的教學(xué)方式更加有效。有了因特網(wǎng)，學(xué)校能夠開發(fā)出大量的學(xué)習(xí)材料以供學(xué)生隨時(shí)從網(wǎng)上獲取。在網(wǎng)上，學(xué)生對(duì)各種課程和時(shí)間段有多種選擇。因此，完成一項(xiàng)教育計(jì)劃對(duì)學(xué)生而言就不再成為問題了。我們發(fā)現(xiàn)，在線教育為我們提供了絕好的信息資源，節(jié)約了時(shí)間和金錢，而且十分方便。 　　以前，每當(dāng)需要查找資料的時(shí)候，我們總是去圖書館并在那兒花上幾個(gè)小時(shí)找尋所需的資料。今天，我們自己家里也擁有了一座圖書館，而且一天24小時(shí)開放。以我初為人母的個(gè)人經(jīng)驗(yàn)來看，

43、我發(fā)現(xiàn)使用網(wǎng)上信息對(duì)我非常有幫助。當(dāng)我在家照看孩子的時(shí)候，我仍然可以和外界保持聯(lián)系并搜尋任何我所需要的教育資料。我還可以在家中和我的同學(xué)們交流思想、觀點(diǎn)和信息。 　　因特網(wǎng)不僅僅是一個(gè)巨大的信息源，而且還能夠?yàn)槲覀児?jié)約時(shí)間和金錢。有人預(yù)言，由于可以通過因特網(wǎng)獲取信息，未來的教育將會(huì)比現(xiàn)在便宜得多。購置土地和建筑房屋的費(fèi)用，以及教師的工資都在持續(xù)增長，這就使傳統(tǒng)教育比在線教育花費(fèi)更多。此外，常規(guī)的（離線）課程，嚴(yán)重地依賴于書本和其它傳統(tǒng)的印刷資料。然而，在線教育則通過電子手段來顯示教師授課內(nèi)容、學(xué)生筆記和布置作業(yè)，這樣每年可以節(jié)約數(shù)千美元。同時(shí)，在線教育還不需要教室，因?yàn)榇蟛糠志W(wǎng)絡(luò)課程要

44、求學(xué)生通過發(fā)送電子郵件來參與討論和進(jìn)行小組項(xiàng)目。 　　在因特網(wǎng)上開班授課也非常方便，因?yàn)樗幌駛鹘y(tǒng)教育那樣有時(shí)間和空間上的客觀限制。首先，以教室進(jìn)行教學(xué)對(duì)于每個(gè)班上課的學(xué)生有數(shù)量限制，然而，教室對(duì)網(wǎng)絡(luò)教育來說根本不是問題，每個(gè)人都可以在網(wǎng)上接受教育。學(xué)生們不必拼盡全力地去注冊(cè)他們喜歡的課程。此外，因?yàn)闆]有時(shí)間限制，所以只要學(xué)生需要，他們可以反復(fù)做練習(xí)。 　　教育會(huì)越來越多地在網(wǎng)上推廣開來。 在以什么方式和什么時(shí)間上課的問題上，學(xué)生們會(huì)有更多的選擇。他們將很容易就找到自己喜歡的班，而且可以多次復(fù)習(xí)教學(xué)內(nèi)容，使用教材，直到滿意為止。因特網(wǎng)不僅為我們尋找樂趣提供了一個(gè)絕妙的機(jī)會(huì)，而且

45、可以讓我們以更方便和更經(jīng)濟(jì)的方式學(xué)到知識(shí)。在我看來，未來的在線生活是不可避免的。 Passage A Notes to the Text 1. play a role: 　　　　　　　 to play a part in a play; take part in and make changes happen Examples: 　　　　 She plays the leading role in a television show. 　　　　 她在一個(gè)電視劇中擔(dān)任主角。 　　　　 Does religion have a role to play i

63、------------------- 　　 Parties, drinking, eating - oh, and working - all help pass the time, but deep down there's something you're really eager to find, but you can't quite put your finger on. What you have been looking for, my friend, is the chance to throw yourself into the world of University S

64、ocieties, and discover the huge range of activities which thrive in a city like Oxford. 　　 Whether you want to pursue an existing interest or develop new ones, your first move should be to check out the bewilderingly large array of clubs at the OUSU　Freshers’ Fair. With your Freshers’ Fair ticke

65、t, you can get your hands on a brand-new edition of the comprehensive guide to all things at Oxford. If you miss the Fair, don't despair: you can see what societies are offered in the Oxford Directory , a handbook issued to you in Freshers’ Week. Take a while to browse through --- it's your one majo

66、r chance to find out about what goes on in the University. 　　 The degree to which people get involved in societies varies a great deal. Some totally immerse themselves in a club, hardly speaking to anyone who isn't a member of that group for the next three years and rising to become a leader of the organization. Others prefer to take a more eclectic approach, being members of several societies and taking part in whichever of their events seem interesting. Many people, perhaps foolishly, comp
