Some say online learning will replace university education, but degrees still have a value. Perhaps there is 16 for both.

"University wasn't for me," says Rachel Stiles. "I wasn't 17 for it at the time, I wasn’t mature enough." Stiles 18 her course and found a job instead. But she realised that a university degree would be 19 for her dream career in medicine. With her 20 in mind, she kept her job and began a distance learning degree in medical science.

She says: "I really enjoyed being able to 21 a living, while also studying to further my future job. I enjoyed being able to come home in the evenings and having something else to focus on that I was really 22 in."

It also seems like employers are putting more emphasis on 23 and personal characteristics than they are on your actual degree.

She says: "I wanted a supervision qualification to support my work, where I 277 supervise(监督，监管) students," she says.

III 阅读理解 (共一节，20小题，每小题2分，满分40分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Today, everywhere you look people walk around with earphones coming out of their ears. Ask them “Who’s on your playlist?” and they instantly reel off a long list of musicians, some of whom you may have never heard of. MP3 players and iPods have really become required technology for adults and children everywhere. But while many teachers try to limit the use of MP3 players in school, more and more schools are also recognizing the usefulness of these little gadgets for education.

One such school, Jamestown Elementary School in Arlington, Virginia, has received a great deal of publicity in recent years for their creative use of the technology. Teachers and children at Jamestown Elementary are taking online education to the next level by producing podcasts of their experiences. Podcasts are brief radio shows that are simply audio files that can be downloaded from the web and listened to on a MP3 player or computer.

At Jamestown Elementary, and a growing number of schools across the country, teachers work with the students to create podcasts of their poetry, reports, interviews, discussions on classroom topics, and more. The podcasts can be used to store information for later review, as an alternative platform for a classroom presentation, or as a way to share students’ learning experiences with parents. Because podcasts involve various skills such as writing, editing, oral presentation, and technical work, they address different learning styles of students.

One of the greatest benefits of podcasts in schools is the level of excitement it creates among students. The trendy technology and the chance of communicating with thousands of people encourage many students to take part. As stated by Tim Tyson, principal at Jamestown Elementary, “If kids don’t learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn”.

41. What is the passage mainly about?

A. How to improve students’ learning ability.

B. How to make a podcast in schools.

C. The ways technology is being used in education.

D. Why schools oppose the use of MP3 players in class.

42. The underlined word “gadgets” (paragraph 1) most probably means ________.

A. useful equipment B. musical instruments

C. creative ideas D. computers

43. As mentioned in the passage, in Jamestown Elementary School, podcasts are used to ______.

A. record students’ works B. comment on students’ works

C. get parents’ responses D. raise money for the school

44. What is a benefit of podcasts in schools, according to the passage?

A. They allow students to study more materials in the classroom.

B. They can help to save a lot of money in learning.

C. They give learners interesting and exciting experiences.

D. They can get everyone to do the same thing together.

Koalas could suffer a "huge reduction" in numbers unless Australia changes its land management practices to help reduce the impact of climate change, a study has found. But the research also showed that koalas are at greater risk of heat stress, loss of body water and eventual death if the bigger trees koalas used for shelter disappear.

The research, led by the University of Sydney, involved the following of 40 koalas using GPS over three years on farmland in north-west New South Wales. The study found that the koalas moved between various trees to feed on leaves during the night. Then in the daytime they moved to bigger trees to get shade and protection from the rising temperature.

But these bigger trees and therefore the koalas themselves are in danger because of the predicted increase in heatwaves (long, unbroken periods of very high temperatures) due to climate change. In 2009, a heatwave in the Australian state of New South Wales led to the loss of hundreds of these trees and as a result a quarter of the koalas in that state died.

Koalas rest for 20 hours a day and do most of their feeding at night, moving between a number of trees to meet their needs. They need that mixture of trees to survive. If enough big trees are not available, koalas will die in large numbers if heatwaves increase. “Koalas can't dig underground or fly away to escape from the heat. We could see a huge reduction in their numbers if the envi
