Learning experiences happen to us throughout our lives. Not long ago, I had one that I would like to __16__.
I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the highway at 85 mph __17_ we realized we were __18_. Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand-new $20 bill. I was so __19_ because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on __20__ seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line. __21__ I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I __22_ I had not actually handed any money to the cashier. I had just __23__ out, and nobody had noticed. I felt terrible.
My conscience (良心) opened its mouth and swallowed me in one big bite. I couldn’t __24__ over it. I just couldn’t go back to the cashier and __25__ for my stolen pizza. I was so upset that I __26__ to give myself the pleasure of an ice cream for __27__ that someone would say, “Hey, Jeff, why not you use the change __28__ the pizza instead of that nice, new $20 bill?” I was not so __29__ of my cash now. For the next two years, whenever I was __30__ of the “pizza incident”, I would say to myself, “Don’t think about it…”
I have learned two things from this __31__. Maybe I was a fool for __32__ in to my conscience, and being too stupid to appreciate a __33__ pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away with what you have done, your conscience will __34__ up with you.
This reflects the saying, “Coward (懦夫) dies a thousand deaths, a hero dies one.” I was a coward and have felt terrible about that incident at least a thousand times. If I had been a “__35__” and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only one, or maybe twice.

解析【小题1】C。“share” 在这里是“分享”的意思。从后文我们可以看出,作者和大家分享了自己的一段经历,因此用”share”。选A,B两项的同学通常将原文翻译成“讲一段经历”。但只要将选项还原,我们就会发现:to say an experience是非常不地道的用法;to talk an experience在语法上也不对(通常用to talk about sth.),因此可以排除这两项。D选项在文意上不符。
【小题2】D。这是一个时间状语从句,考查的是其中连词的用法。”be racing down”是一个延续性的动作,而”realize”是一个瞬时发生的动作。严格地说,as作连词时,前后的动作在时间延续性上要求统一,因此在这里不合适;while后面引出的动作应该是延续性的,而非”realize”这样的瞬时动作;then意思是“然后”,如果用在此处应该说and then。
【小题3】C。A,D是比较容易排除的干扰项,“迷路”、“焦躁”在后文并没有体现出来。大多数做错本题的同学选择了”tired”,因为与后面的”rest area”相呼应。但是,如果我们继续读下去就会发现,让作者一行人停下来的主要原因是饥饿而非疲劳,也才因此有了后文买皮萨的故事。而所谓”rest area”其实就是指能提供饮食补给的地方。因此本题选hungry.
【小题4】A。这一题主要考察词汇。因为拥有新奇东西而引起的情感通常是”excited”兴奋,而非“热切”、“满足”,或者“受到鼓舞”。
【小题5】B。从后文可以推断出,作者很不情愿将心爱的纸币花在批萨上,因此选择”food”.有21%的同学选择了A选项,这些同学其实延续了28题的错误:全文的中心故事是由hungry/ food引发的,而非tired/ rest area.
【小题6】B。“Luckily”是“幸运的”,从原文看不出作者买到食物是一件幸运的事;”immediately”是“马上,立刻”的意思,一半以上做错本题的同学选择了这一项。从前文中我们知道作者一行人冲进了”pizza line”,买批萨的队伍,可见买食物是需要等候的,不可能“马上”得到;”actually”表示“事实上”,文意不符。
【小题7】D。大多数做错本题的同学选择了C. “notice”的确有察觉到的意思,但通常用于嗅觉、视觉、听觉等感官察觉到的东西(牛津高阶:”notice: to see or hear sb/sth; to become aware of sb./sth.”)。而原文中,是思想上“意识到”,用”realize”更好。
【小题8】A。“walked out” 指作者没付钱就这么“(大摇大摆地)走出来”。如果用”left”,后面不用加out; work out“计算出”;find out“找出”。
【小题9】B。这道题考察了一个固定搭配”get over sth.” 表示“克服(某种负面情绪),(把某件事)想开,原谅”。这里,作者是说自己无法原谅自己买东西不付钱这种做法,没法克服这件事带来的负面情绪。
【小题10】B。ask for“请求,要求”,不符文意;apologize for“为…道歉”,一些同学错在这里。从常理上说,作者如果此时回到收银台,最直接的做法是付钱,而不是道歉,否则不符合常理;send for sb.表示请某人来到自己这里,send for sth.表示请别人将某物送到自己这里来。
【小题11】A。从后文我们知道,作者此时十分愧疚,以至于不敢去买饭后的甜点,一是自我惩罚,二来也生怕露出破绽。因此这里用refuse表示为了不漏出破绽而拒绝买甜点。后面的三个选项“想要”、“希望”、“打算”都不符合文意。
【小题12】D。“in fear that”表示“生怕…/唯恐…”。作者不敢去买甜点,唯恐掏钱的时候被人发现马脚。”In hope”表示“希望”,作者做“贼”心虚,肯定是生怕被揭穿,而不会希望被人质问,所以意思不对。”in surprise”和”in anger”分别表示吃惊的、生气的,于原文情境、意思都不相符。
【小题13】D。“the change from the pizza”表示“从买批萨那里找来的零钱”,from本身就有“从…来”的意思。选A、C的同学大概看到change就觉得change into sth., change for sth.读起来很顺,但是change into是“变成…”的意思,change for是“把…换成…”的意思,这时change都是动词“变化”,而本题中change是名词,表示找零、零钱。选B的同学理解了change的熟词生意,但是一般不用change with sth.表示“...的找零”。
【小题14】C。作者原本很为自己有一张新奇的货币而兴奋,但经历了这件事后,作者十分”upset沮丧”,不再像以前那样,为自己的宝贝而骄傲,因此选proud。将近六成同学选了B,D。作者明明十分沮丧,所以B ”upset”用在这里与全文意思相左;如果用D ”pleased”,则这句话应改为” I was not so pleased by my cash now”. “be pleased by”表示“被…取悦”,不能用of.
【小题15】B。sb. be reminded of sth.是remind sb. of sth.的一种被动形式,表示“被勾起(关于某件事的)回忆”。大多数做错的同学选了C “thought”。如果用thought,直接说”every time when I thought…”就可以了,不应该用被动I was thought。
【小题16】A。Experience与第一段相呼应。
【小题17】D。这一题考察的是动词短语的搭配。”turn in”表示上交、归还;“take in”表示吸收、接纳,用在衣服上还表示改短、改小;“hand in”也是递交、上交的意思。”give in to sth.”在表示上交之外,也表示向…妥协,屈服,让步。这里,作者想说自己向自己的良心妥协,对一件小事耿耿于怀,这种做法或许很傻。因此用give in to。
【小题18】A。Free有自由的意思之外,还表示“免费的”。作者这块批萨是没花一分钱的,因此是free pizza. 很多同学选了cheap廉价的,但廉价也是要花一点钱的,不符文意。”plain”可以表示“原味的、朴素的、明白的”等等,在这里都不符合文意;”delicious”美味的,在文中从未提及。
【小题19】C。我们熟悉的catch up with的意思是“追上、赶上”,但catch up with还有“查出来并抓获”的意思。在这里,作者想说,如果一个人做了亏心事,即使他自己努力不去想,他的良心也会把他的过失“追查出来”。Make up是弥补的意思,wake up 是醒来的意思,而put up with是容忍、宽容的意思。
【小题20】D。“A coward dies a thousand deaths, a hero dies one”一句中提及了两种人:coward 和hero. 作者先说自己属于前者,然后再假设“如果自己是后者的情况”,因此这里应该用hero.

Directions:Read the following passage.Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
What is e-learning? E-learning is essentially the computer and network-enabled transfer of skills and knowledge, whose content is delivered via the Internet, audio or video tape, satellite TV, and CD-ROM.
E-learning dates back to the early 1960s when Stanford University psychology professors Patrick Suppes experimented with using computers to teach math.As early as 1997 William D.Graziadei published an article which described developing an overall strategy for technology-based course development and management for an educational system.Today people are using many technologies in e-learning, blogs and virtual classrooms included.
There are different types of e-learning that are available.Some educational experts suggest that different types or forms of e-learning can be considered as a continuum, from no e-learning, i.e.no use of computers or the Internet for teaching and learning, through classroom aids, such as making classroom lecture Power Point slides available to students and through a course website, to laptop programs, where students are required to bring laptops to class and use them as part of a face-to-face class, to mixed learning, where classroom time is reduced but not eliminated, with more time devoted to online learning, to fully online learning, which is a form of distance education.
Due to the effectiveness of e-learning methods, this type of learning methodology is rapidly becoming popular among schools.By 2006, 3.5 million students had participated in learning courses through the Internet at institutions of higher education in the United States.Allen and Seamen claim that almost a quarter of all students in post-secondary education were taking fully online courses in 2008, and a report by Ambient Insight Research suggests that in 2009, 44 per cent of post-secondary students in the USA were taking some or all of their courses online, and some professors predicted that this figure would have been doubled by 2014.Thus it can be seen that e-learning is moving rapidly from the margins to being a predominant form of post-secondary education.
E-learning has created a new paradise in education and it has greatly complemented our traditional methods and thus it has brought students a lot of advantages.We expect much more growth in adoptions of it in schools.

It's good to make mistake, and here is why.
1. It’s always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you expand? How can you innovate? The simple answer is "You can't". Look around you. With very few exceptions, either everything you see in your physical world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new.
Another good thing about mistakes is this. 2. Consider this: Edison failed 10000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he remarked that he hadn't failed 10000 times, but rather had learned 10000 things that didn't work.
Finally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success. Why? Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some limited number of things before you succeed. 3.
But this all doesn't mean that you should go ahead with disregard for the consequences of a mistake. Quite the contrary, you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits if it doesn't work out the way you want it to. 4.
We all have limited resources in the form of time and money, so don’t blow them all on one approach to a problem. Realize that it probably won't be perfect the first time and allocate these resources appropriately so you can learn, modify, and try it again. Only by embracing and using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your business and your career.
There is an old truth that goes, " 5. ”
So go forth and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And prosper.
A.First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things.
B.Only those who do nothing make no mistakes.
C.If you're not making mistakes, you're not trying hard enough.
D.When you are making mistakes, you are learning.
E. You should take mistakes as stepping stone to future success.
F. You should guarantee you will be in a position to succeed again.
G. Every time you made a mistake you remove one of those things and are one step closer.

A. Keep up with the progress of the course
B. Be able to communicate through writing
C. Take the program seriously
D. Accept critical thinking as part of online learning
E. Be open-minded about sharing experiences
F. Be willing to “speak up” if problems arise
Online students require unique qualities to be successful. The following list discusses some ideal qualities of successful online students.
81.
Many different people find that the online method required them to use their experiences and that online learning offers them a place to communicate with each other. This forum for communication removes the visual barriers that hinder some students from expressing themselves. In addition, students are given time to reflect on the information before replying. In this way, students can help to keep the online environment open and friendly.
82.
In the virtual classroom nearly all communication is written, so it is critical that students feel comfortable expressing themselves in writing. Some students have limited writing abilities which need to be improved before or as part of the online experience. This usually requires extra commitment by these students.
83.
Remember that instructors cannot see their students in an online course. This means students must be absolutely explicit with their comments and requests. If they experience technical difficulties, or problems in understanding something about the course, they must let the instructors or other online students know; otherwise there is no way anyone can know something is wrong.
84.
Online learning is not easier than study in regular classrooms. In fact, many students say it requires much more time and effort. Requirements for online courses are not less than those of any quality program. Successful students, however, see online learning as a convenient way to receive their education—not an easier way. Many online students sit at computers for hours at a time during evenings and on weekends in order to complete their assignments.
85.
Online learning is normally arranged in the time sequence and requires devotion on the students’ part. Strictly following each step and completing all work on time is vital. Once students get behind, it is almost impossible to catch up. Students need to want to be there and need to want the experience. The instructor may have to communicate with students personally to offer help and remind them of the need to keep up.
