It has been used by more than 100 million people. In December, the school announced it also would begin offering a special certificate, known as MITx, for people who complete certain online courses. Harvard has long offered courses to a wider population through a similar program.The MITx will serve as the foundation for the new learning platform.MIT President Susan Hockfield said more than 120,000 people signed up for the first MITx course. She said Harvard and MIT hope other universities will join them in offering courses on the open-source edX platform.“Fasten your seatbelts,” Hockfield said.Other universities, including Stanford, Yale and Carnegie-Mellon, have been experimenting with teaching to a global population online.The Harvard-MIT program will be monitored by a not-for-profit（非盈利的）organization based in Cambridge, to be owned equally by the two universities.

But its not that unrealistic, with the development of Chinas high-speed railway system. And thats not all. China has an even greater high-speed railway plan to connect the country with Southeast Asia, and eventually Eastern EuropeChina is negotiating to extend its own high-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15 years, eventually reaching London and SingaporeChina has proposed three such projects. The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore via Vietnam and MalaysiaAnother could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan，and possibly to GermanyThe third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western EuropeIf Chinas plan for the high-speed railway goes forward，people could zip over from London to Beijing in under two daysThe new system would still follow Chinas high-speed railway standard. And the trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour, almost as fast as some airplanesChinas high-speed train, the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou, already has the Worlds fastest average speed. It covers 1,069 kilometers in about three hoursOf course，there are some technical challenges to overcomeThere are so many issues that need to be settled, such as safety, rail gauge(轨距), maintenance of railway tracks. So，its important to pay attention to every detailBut the key issue is really money. China is already spending hundreds of billions of Yuan on domestic railway expansionChina prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources rather than with capital investment. Resources from those countries could stream into China to sustain developmentItll be a win-win project. For other countries, the railway network will definitely create more opportunities for business，tourism and so on，not to mention the better communication among those countriesFor China，such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources, but would also help develop Chinas far westWe foresee that in the coming decades, millions of people will migrate to the western regions，where the land is empty and resources unused. With high-speed trains，people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for all. And theyll trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries9. Chinas new high-speed railway plan will be a win-win project because_A. Chinawill get much-needed resources and develop its western regionsB. Chinaand the countries involved will benefit from the project in various waysC. Chinawill develop its railway system and communication with other countriesD. the foreign countries involved will develop their railway transportation，business and tourism10.

Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. New Railway Standards B. Big Railway DreamsC. High-speed Bullet Trains D. International Railway Network【答案】9. B 10. C 11. D 12. B【解析】试题分析：【9题详解】B 细节题。根据文章倒数第二段For other countries，the railway network will definitely create more opportunities for business，tourism and so on，not to mention the better communication among those countries说明中国和有关的国家都可以从中获益，故B正确。【10题详解】C 细节题。根据文章倒数第四段But the key issue is really moneyChina is already spending hundreds of billions of yuan on domestic railway expansion说明最大的问题是钱，故C正确。【11题详解】D 推理题。根据文章最后三行We foresee that in the coming decades，millions of people will migrate to the western regions，where the land is empty and resources unusedWith high-speed trains，people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for a11And they11 trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries说明作者认为高铁将会给中国带来很多的好处，他对高铁的前景是很乐观的，故D正确。【12题详解】B 主旨大意题。文章讲述的是中国正在大力发展的高铁网络，以及高铁对中国以及相关国家带来的好处，故B正确。考点：考查新闻类短文阅读点评：文章讲述的是中国正在大力发展的高铁网络，以及高铁对中国以及相关国家带来的好处。以细节题的考查为主，在解答这类问题时要求学生抓住题干文字信息，采用针对性方法进行阅读，因为这类题的答案在文章中可以直接找到。DDo you have any strong opinion on co-educations or single-sex schools?A supporter of co-educational schools would probably say that schools should be like the societies they belong to. In Hong Kong, men and women mix socially on a day-to-day basisIn many fields men are even likely to have female bosses. It is, therefore, desirable that boys and girls grow up together, go to school together, and prepare themselves for a society that does not value sexual separationSome would go on to argue further that growing up with members of the opposite sex is important for personal developmentRegular contact can remove the strange ideas about the opposite sex and lead to more natural relationships. Single-sex conditions are seen as leading to more extreme opinions, and possibly even as encouraging homosexuality(同性恋), though there is no proof that this is the case.Those who are against co-education often also fix their attention on the sexual side. Some parents fear that close contact with members of the opposite sex is dangerous for teenagers. They want their children to be attentive to their studies. Such parents feel uncomfortable with modern ways and the free mixing of the sexes.A stronger argument comes from research into school results. Girls grow up earlier than boys, tend to be more orderly and are likely to be better at languages. In a mixed class, boys who might do well in a single-sex class become discouraged and take on the role of troublemaker. Certainly in the UK this situation has greatly alarmed the government for it to be encouraging co-educational schools to have some single-sex classes. In the UK the best schools are all single-sex, strongly suggesting that co-education is not the best answer. This may, however, not be as simple as it looks. It may simply be that the famous old schools that attract the best students happen to be single-sex, rather than that being single-sex makes them better schools.13. The underlined word “attentive” in Para.3 most probably means _.A. accessible B. addictedC. devoted D. accustomed14. Alarmed by the situation, the UK government encourages _A. co-education B. single-sex classes in co-educational schoolsC. single-sex education D. co-educational classes in single-sex schools15. At the end of the passage the writer suggests that _A. single-sex schools are the best schools in the UKB. being single-sex does not necessarily make a school betterC. co-educational schools are better for both sexes in personal developmentD. because boys cannot compete with girls in study, they go to single-sex school【答案】13. C 14. B 15. B【解析】本文为说明文。本文主要叙述了对男女同校或单一性别学校的看法。赞成男女同校的人认为男女同校对个人的发展很重要，这是为以后进入社会作准备。反对的人担心与异性的密切接触对青少年有危害。单一性别学校的学习成绩更好，政府鼓励男女同校的学校开设一些单性别班级，以便提高学业成绩。【13题详解】猜测词义题。本词所在的句子的上文为“反对男女同校的人常把注意力放在性上。有些父母担心（青少年）与异性的密切接触对他们来说是危险的”，所以作为家长自然希望孩子们专心学习。因此根据上文害怕把注意力放在性上，而他们希望学生把注意力放在学习，即专心学习。所以attentive应当是“注意力集中的”，分析选项（accessible易接近的，可理解的，易相处的; B. addicted上瘾的，沉迷于某种嗜好的；C. devoted专心的；D. accustomed习惯的），可知C项（devoted）符合题意。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Certainly in the UK this situation has greatly alarmed(惊动)the government for it to be encouraging co-educational schools to have
