阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从1~15各题所给的A、B、C和D中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Massive Open Online Courses are also called MOOCs. Tens of thousands, or even more people can 1 these classes all at once. You can be anywhere in the world to take a MOOC. All you need is a 2 and a network connection.

MOOCs add to a tradition of what is known as 3 learning. For years, many colleges have offered classes that are taught 4 or mostly online. MOOCs are available in subjects like computer science or engineering, which work quite well. But can MOOCs in subjects like arts be as 5 as the old teaching approach?

Scott Anderson teaches philosophy at the University of British Columbia in Canada. He sees both good and 6 sides to MOOCs. “There are parts that will be fine, mostly when students listen to a 7 , there is no special reason why they need to be 8 present to hear and get it,” says Mr. Anderson. Increased numbers of students in MOOCs can mean 9 communication between them and teachers. He says two ways to deal with this are by adding more teachers and 10 up online discussion groups.

Lisa Jadwin, who teaches English and writing at St. John Fisher College in New York, says that online education has some weakness for her subjects. What’s 11 in online education is face – to – face interaction, for example, the teaching of English is a face – to – face 12 practice. So the old approach is not going to be 13 very quickly by computer – aided instruction.

Bill Pogue teaches communications at the University of Houston – downtown. He says that after leading classes for more than 30 years, he would not attempt to teach a MOOC. However, Mr. Pogue sees good 14 in online education. He noted a strong sense of community in an online course he once took. He said the students could work 15 on the same project while living in different regions.

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

A

A mouse happened to look through a hole in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package. “What food might this contain?” The mouse wondered. But he was sad to discover it was a mousetrap.

Back to the farmyard, the mouse announced this warning; “There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mouse trap in the house!”

The hen clucked (咯咯地叫) and scratched, raised her head and said, “Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a great concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it.”

Then the mouse turned to the pig. The pig sympathized, but said, “I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my prayers.”

Then the mouse turned to the cow and repeat the same words. The cow said, “Moo, Mr. Mouse. I’m sorry for you, but it’s no skin off my nose.”

So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and sadly faced the farmer’s mousetrap alone. That very right a sound was heard throughout the house – the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey (猎物). The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it. It was a poisonous snake whose tail was caught in the trap. The snake bit the farmer’s wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital. When she returned home, she still had a fever.

Everyone knows fresh chicken soup is good to treat a fever. So the farmer took his knife to the farmyard. The hen was killed.

But his wife’s sickness continued. Friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.

The farmer’s wife did not get well but died. So many people came for her funeral that the farmer had the cow killed to provide enough meat for all of them for the lunch.

All of us should keep a kitchen diary, showing how much food are left uneaten as garbage.

We all waste food, you and me millions of tons of it. In China, enough food is wasted in restaurants every year to feed 200 million people. In the United States, 40 percent of food is wasted from farm to fork. Each year, the amount of food thrown away in rich countries is almost the same as that produced in sub – Saharan Africa. This raises some important questions.

In developing countries, food is lost because farmers do not have appropriate cooling, storage or market access for their crops. Their grains, fruits and vegetables dry up and rot away. In developed countries, the picture is different, and food is wasted in supermarkets, restaurants and at home. China faces both problems, significant losses in farms, as well as at the sale and consumption stages. And the amount of food wasted by Chinese consumers is rapidly increasing.

Consumer culture has filled China and urban residents can get quality food from anywhere in the country and from across the planet. Chinese consumers are as particular about their food as those in other countries. In supermarkets, they refuse to buy vegetables that don’t look fresh or have an irregular shape, or milk and other products close to their expiry (失败) date.

Besides, Chinese consumers tend to be generous. In restaurants or at home, often too much food is ordered or cooked and served. So while trooping out of a restaurant, full and happy, with colleagues or friends, they never look back at what’s left untouched on the table. Should Chinese consumers take more responsibility for the waste they create?

Everyone deserves to have enough food to eat. Despite China’s impressive success in reducing hunger over the past three decades, the job is not completed yet.

34．How do Chinese feel when they leave restaurants with much food left behind?

A．Generous. B．Unconscious. C．Wealthy. D．Valuable.

A．not to waste any food from now on

B．the necessity to improve food quality
