5、ation that were pertinent to the material. As these notes indicate, you clearly regard this to be a work in progress. Certainly this is a great way to develop the manuscripts relatively quickly.

6、 global virtual education system can come into existence and to raise questions about needed research on learning, teaching, and overcoming the problems (such as hunger, bad health, war, and revolution) that stand in the way of providing education for everyone in the world. I realize that education

7、for all is impossible, but perhaps only in the sense that the United States, out of necessity, accomplished what was “impossible“ after the attack on Pearl Harbor. I assume that H. G. Wells was right when he said that civilization is in a race between education and disaster. So I am willing to be au

8、dacious-as someone retired and with no axe to grind-and to initiate a project that might at least stimulate thought and discussion. For 30 years or more I have been studying the university, higher education, and academia in the developing world. In the 1980s I began to see the emergence and potentia

9、l of a global virtual university; this insight culminated in a book that was widely read and used and that led to my being invited to lecture in various countries. The next year Praeger published it as a paperback in their Contributions to the Study of Education series, Developing world delegates to

10、 the 1997 UNESCO conference on higher education in Paris complained that it was too expensive for them. So I said that I would put a sequel online, free to anyone in the world. I asked that, in return, they send me feedback and suggested links. And I have now accomplished this. JM: Doesnt your onlin

11、e manuscript deal with far more than higher education? Your classification is a bit confusing to me, because each volume looks like a book. Why not say that you have three books on the Web? PR: It must be one book if it is to be holistic. It should introduce all of the needs and problems that must b

12、e dealt with at once as we enter a time of lifelong education. “Education for all“ must include programs for prekindergarten children, for primary and secondary school age learners, and for college students. It also must include continuing educational programs that foster job skills, career planning

13、, and hobbies as well as special interest programs for senior citizens. Instead of talking about a “global university“, the time has come to explore possibilities for a global virtual education system. JM: Then why do you keep speaking of the “future of the university“? PR: It is also my assumption

14、that the university, however it changes, will continue to be the major research center for all education. It will be a crucial focus of educational vision and the gathering place of scholars and educators. There will continue to be residential campuses for those who can afford them, and higher educa

15、tion institutions will continue to be the springboard for online education for all-all places, all ages, all needs, lifelong, in the world. JM: What kinds of constructive criticism or negative feedback are you getting? PR: Well, the list is long. I try to cover too much. Some information is out of d

Also, different readers come with expectations that are not met. In discussing technology, for instance, how can we address those who are technological experts and tho

17、se in the developing world whose knowledge is still limited? My project seems out of focus in that it struggles with the nature and future of the university in a time of lifelong education, and with the added problem of how to provide education for everyone in the world. JM: Are you encouraged that

18、others are getting involved? PR: Recognizing the perils in my experiment, I must be prepared for all kinds of criticism, even antagonism. Perhaps now that I am retired, I am better prepared to face antagonism and scorn than those who have jobs and careers-to consider. However, I see the whole projec

19、t as an initial effort that might later be enlarged to be more useful to those who need to discuss current problems and future issues. I see it as nothing definitive, but as an outline on which to hang all kinds of ideas and topics that might stimulate discussion, imagination, and conversation. JM:

40、rs have found it especially difficult to be accepted and recognized as major artists D.many art critics have favored painting over sculpture in writing about developments in the art world解析：事实细节题。从第一段第一句话的后半段 because the greatest resistance to women artists has been， until recently，in the field of s

41、culptor可知作者之所以认为 Nevelson的雕塑作品成就非凡，是由于在雕塑界女性作品通常会受到极大的排斥，因而得不到公众的认可和赞赏。显然正确答案是 C。5.The passage focuses primarily on _.（分数：1.00）A.a general tendency in twentieth-century artB.the work of a particular artist C.the artist influences on women sculptorsD.materials used by twentieth-century sculptors解析：主旨

42、大意题。通读全文我们就可以发现，作者自始至终都是围绕着 Louis Nevelson这一女雕塑家作品的特点、评论家们对她作品的评价等等来写的，因此这段节选的中心应该是 B。6.Which of the following is one way in which Nevelsons art illustrates her theory as it is expressed in paragraph 4?（分数：1.00）A.She sculpts in wood rather than in metal or stone.B.She paints her sculptures and frame

43、s them in boxes.C.She makes no preliminary sketches but rather allows the sculpture to develop as she works.D.She puts together pieces of ordinary objects once used for different purposes to make her sculptures. 解析：推理判断题。第三段的末尾 Nevelson提出了自己对艺术的看法“I have always wanted to show the world that art is e

44、verywhere except that it has to pass through a creative mind”，艺术是无处不在的，只不过它需要有创造性的心灵去发现。Nevelson 用普通的东西作为她雕塑的素材就是她这一思想的明证，因此 D项是正确的。7.The author quotes Hilton Kramer in paragraph 2 most probably in order to illustrate _.（分数：1.00）A.the realism of Nevelsons workB.the unique qualities of Nevelsons styl

45、eC.a distinction between sculpture and paintingD.the extent of critical approval of Nevelsons work 解析：推理判断题。作者引用著名且非常有影响力的评论家 Hilton Kramer的话“For myself，I think MsNevelson succeeds where the painters often fail”，是说她的雕塑能够表现出画家通常无法表达出来的东西，这是对其作品的无上褒奖，因此 D项是正确答案。五、BTEXT B/B(总题数：3，分数：3.00)8.The author b

46、elieves that a child _.（分数：1.00）A.should practice what the Hindoos preachB.frequently faces vital problems better than grownups do C.prefers to be a barbarian than to be a princeD.hardly ever knows his true origin解析：事实细节题。根据第二段的最后一句 Children，who play life，discern its true law and relations more clea

48、ge implies that human beings _.（分数：1.00）A.believe in fairy talesB.are immoral if they are lazyC.should be bold and fearlessD.cannot distinguish the true from the untrue 解析：推理判断题。在文章的开头作者就谈到，如果人们看到的只是现实，从不受到迷惑，生活就像是在童话故事或天方夜谭中一样(If men would steadily observe realities only，and not allow themselves to be deluded，life，to compare with such things as we know，would be like a fairy tale and the Arabian Nights entertainments)。由此我们可以对作者的观点做出判断：人类是很难做到明辨真伪的。六、BTEXT C/B(总题数：4，分数：4.00)11.A primary feature of Marxism is the stress on _.（
