26、easure, there is a boom in Internet-based instruction. In just a few years, 34 percent of American universities have begun offering some form of distance learning (DL), and among the larger schools, its closer to 90 percent. If you doubt the popularity of the trend, you probably havent heard of the
27、University of Phoenix. It grants degrees entirely on the basis of online instruction. It enrolls 90000 students, a statistic used to support its claim to be the largest private university in the country.While the kinds of instruction offered in these programs will differ, DL usually signifies a cour
28、se in which the instructors post syllabi (课程大纲), reading assignments, and schedules on websites, and students send in their assignments by e-mail. Generally speaking, face-to-face communication with an instructor is minimized or eliminated altogether.The attraction for students might at first seem o
29、bvious. Primarily, theres the convenience promised by courses on the net; you can do the work, as they say, in your pajamas (睡衣). But figures indicate that the reduced effort results in a reduced commitment to the course. While dropout rates for all freshmen at American universities is around 20 per
30、cent, the rate for online students is 35 percent. Students themselves seem to understand the weaknesses inherent in the setup. In a survey conducted for E-Cornell, the DL division of Cornell University, less than a third of the respondents expected the quality of the online course to be as good as t
31、he classroom course.Clearly, from the schools perspective, theres a lot of money to be saved. Although some of the more ambitious programs require new investments in servers and networks to support collaborative software, most DL courses can run on existing or minimally upgraded (升级) systems. The mo
32、re students who enroll in a course but dont come to campus, the more the school saves on keeping the lights on in the classrooms, paying doorkeepers, and maintaining parking lots. And, while theres evidence that instructors must work harder to run a DL course for a variety of reasons, they wont be p
33、aid any more, and might well be paid less.(分数:10.00)(1).What is the most striking feature of the University of Phoenix? A. All its courses are offered online. B. Its online courses are of the best quality. C. It boasts the largest number of students on campus. D. Anyone taking its online courses is
34、sure to get a degree.(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.(2).According to the passage, distance learning is basically characterized by _. A. a considerable flexibility in its academic requirements B. the great diversity of students academic backgrounds C. a minimum or total absence of face-to-face instruction D. the c
35、asual relationship between students and professors(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.(3).Many students take Internet-based courses mainly because they can _. A. earn their academic degrees with much less effort B. save a great deal on traveling and boarding expenses C. select courses from various colleges and univers
36、ities D. work on the required courses whenever and wherever(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.(4).What accounts for the high dropout rates for online students? A. There is no strict control over the academic standards of the courses. B. The evaluation system used by online universities is inherently weak. C. There is
37、 no mechanism to ensure that they make the required effort. D. Lack of classroom interaction reduces the effectiveness of instruction.(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.(5).According to the passage, universities show great enthusiasm for DL programs for the purpose of _. A. building up their reputation B. cutting dow
38、n on their expenses C. upgrading their teaching facilities D. providing convenience for students(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.八、BPart B/B(总题数:1,分数:15.00)Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese.June 8th, 2011, was World IPv6 Daythe first major deployment of Intern
39、et Protocol version 6. Hundreds of Internet service providers and Web companies tested IPv6 on their websites. This new numbering system for Internet addresses has been available for years. But very few companies have switched to it. U U 1 /U /UUYet the old system could run out of addresses this yea
40、r because of all the growth in online devices./U Doug Szajda, a computer science professor at the University of Richmond in Virginia, explains.Doug Szajda says: “Its sort of like the post office of the Internet. It tells you how to get information from one computer to another. Currently, and since a
41、round 1980, the addressing system has been IP version 4. But the problem with that is that weve run out of addresses. So its almost as if, when a new house is built, you cant give it an address because you dont have any more.“IPv4 was designed to handle just over four billion IP addresses. Doug Szaj
42、da says that seemed like more than enough. Doug Szajda says: “U U 2 /U /UUAt the time that IP version 4 was designed, the designers were anticipating perhaps thousands of users of the Internet someday, and certainly thinking that four billion addresses were many more than we would ever need.“/U Yet
43、now, not just computers but smartphones, cars, televisions, game systems and plenty of other devices all connect to the Internet. Each uses a different IP address.The basic standards for IPv6 were first published in 1998. U U 3 /U /UUDoug Szajda says its most important feature is the ability to prov
44、ide what seems like an unlimited number of IP addresses./U Well, there is a limitthree hundred forty trillion trillion trillion in fact, or three hundred forty undecillion. Thats three hundred forty followed by thirty-six zeros. Experts say the challenge now is to get the world to use it. Mr. Szajda
45、 says that was the real purpose of last weeks World IPv6 Day sponsored by the Internet Society. Doug Szajda says: “U U 4 /U /UUIt was less a worldwide test than a means of generating some incentive for vendors to realize we cant drag our feet anymore. This has to happen.“/UU U 5 /U /UUThe process of
46、 switching to IPv6 can be complex and costly, which could explain why so few companies have made the switch./U CompTIA, the Computing Technology Industry Association, recently did an opinion study. The group talked to more than four hundred information technology and business leaders in the United State
