Online Degrees Today, you can earn a degree from a major university without ever having sat in one of their classrooms. Many colleges and universities are jumping on the distance learning bandwagon and offering online courses and degree programs. In this article we’ll look at how online degrees work, what you should look for if you are pursuing a degree via the online option, and what employers think of online degrees. Online Learning Programs With a computer, an Internet connection and a little self-discipline, you can earn a degree from home, work, or anywhere else for that matter. Online degree programs follow much the same routines as traditional learning, with a few twists. There are lectures, but they won’t be in person. There are assignments, but you won’t hand them to your instructor. There are exams, but you won’t be able to look at your neighbor’s paper. There may be a set time that “class” begins, but you don’t have to be there then. In most situations, you are free to “go to class” when it fits your schedule. If you get a phone call during class, you don’t have to miss anything. If you get sick, you don’t have to ask for someone’s notes, and you just visit the lecture later. You’ll communicate with your instructor by e-mail, chat rooms, bulletin boards, and instant messaging. Your classroom will live in a special software program that uses text chat and bulletin boards, as well as streaming audio or recorded lectures. You may be put into a virtual workgroup with other students and be required to solve a problem. You may have to work through interactive puzzles and quizzes. Contrary to popular belief, you will have contact with other students and the instructor. Depending on the program and institution, distance learning may consist of synchronous (live) sessions or asynchronous (non-live) sessions. Transcripts and notes from lectures are archived, so you can always go back if you missed something. If there are live sessions with discussions among students, you can go back to those as well. Assignments may even be returned with audio clips so your instructors can convey their tone of voice along with their comments. Printed documents may be sent to you through the mail, or you may have the options of printing them yourself or reading them online. Some schools require an initial “boot camp” held at the campus (if there is one), where you will meet the other students, instructors and support personnel. You’ll learn how to use the technology, learn about the library and reference systems, and begin your coursework. Evaluating the Program So once you know the school is accredited, is the decision easy? Not necessarily. There are still a lot of questions to ask before you make your selection, such as: ★How is the course presented? Investigate the method by which the instructor gives lectures. Does the instructor simply put the lecture online as text? Are there accompanying slides? Is there any interaction? Is there video or audio? Are exams given? How are assignments turned in? The format of the course is sometimes as important as the content. Great content is more easily absorbed if it’s done in a dynamic and innovative manner that involves interaction between the student and instructor as well as interaction with the content itself. Online learning technology provides many opportunities for innovation. Find a school that takes advantage of it. ★How do students interact with each other? Is there an established method for interaction and congregating? Online programs can use chat rooms, instant messaging, teleconferencing, and video conferencing to communicate. The key is to find a program that has this interaction built into it and even requires it. How the online community functions should be very important to both the instructor and the educational institution. ★Are the instructors qualified? Check out the credentials and degrees the instructors hold, as well as their knowledge of online learning and its differences from classroom learning. What kind of support do the instructors get for their online courses? If technical problems arise, is there someone to turn to? A school that is dedicated to its online programs will have the development staff and the support staff to make it successful. Instructors (and students) have to be able to adapt to changing technology. ★What kind of reputation does the school have? It may seem simple — a good school will have a good online program. That may be true, but it is also probable that its online program is still too new to judge, so you’re left with nothing but the reputation of the school’s traditional programs. This reputation, however, may not be as straightforward as you think. You can look at the overall quality of the school and make a judgment, but there may be weaknesses in the program in which you are interested. It’s not uncommon for a great school to have a weak program or two. ★How are students evaluated? Earning a degree should mean just that — earning it. If students aren’t assessed properly and degrees are handed out with little or no verification that any knowledge has been transferred from the instructor to the student, then how can the program be rated? Students, particularly adult students, learn more by doing than by simply listening. For this reason, it is important to ensure that part of the program involves applying what has been learned. The Employer’s View The big question in everyone’s mind is, “Is an online degree from an accredited college or university seen by potential employers as a lesser degree?” Vault.com, a career network Website, did a survey of 239 HR professionals. According to the results, 77 percent of respondents believe
大学英语四级模拟题三(含答案)
大学英语四级模拟题三Part One Reading Comprehension (2’×10 = 20’)Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Y ou should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage OneScientists are trying to make the deserts into good land again. They want to bring water to the deserts so that people can live and grow food. Even so, more and more of the earth is becoming desert all the time.Why? Scientists think that people make deserts. People are doing bad things to the earth. Some people on the earth do not get very much rain. Yet, they still do not become deserts. This is because there are some small green plants growing there. Plants help keep water in the earth. Plants do not let the wind blow the dirt away. Without plants, the land can become a desert much more easily.A man decides to make a farm in a very dry place. He digs in the earth and takes away the grass and plants that are already growing on the dry land.He makes a farm. He puts plants in rows. The sun is very hot. It makes the land even drier. When the rain comes, it runs between the row of plants. It washes the good dirt away. When the wind comes, it blows between the rows of plants. It blows the good dirt away. Soon the land is not good enough for a farm any more. The man lets his animals eat all the plants on it. Now the land does not have any plants on it. The sun and wind dry the land and all of the good dirt away. Now the land is a desert.1. A desert is probably _____________.A. grassyB. wetC. treelessD. muddy2. Land is becoming desert because of lack of _____________.A. rainB. peopleC. windD. plants3. Which of the following is NOT the reason why small green plants are very important to dry places?A. They keep the earth from becoming even drier.B. They do not let wind blow the earth away.C. They add color to the dry places.D. They hold water.4. It can be inferred from the passage that _____________.A. it is bad to plant in rows in a dry placeB. it is better to raise animals on dry land than to make a farmC. it is bad to make a farm in a dry place, but it is good to raise animals thereD. all lands that don’t get very much rain are deserts5. What’s the writer’s purpose in giving an example of the man?A. To criticize him.B. To tell an interesting story.C. To prove man makes deserts.D. To prove the hot sun makes a desert.Passage TwoFor years, international swimming has been controlled by a small number of powerful nations. The U.S., Russia, Germany and Australia have produced some of the sport’s finest players and have won most of the top competitions and medals. But the results of this month’s world championships, which are being held in the Australian city of Perth, will not be so easy to predict. Since the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, many new names and nationalities have emerged to take on the world leaders.The 1996 Olympics should have been an opportunity for the U.S. to display its great swimming power, but instead it faced some embarrassing defeats. The surprises started on the first day of the competitions, when Fred of Belgium (比利时) set a world record in the competition for 100-metres breast-stroke (蛙泳). Never before had Belgium produced an Olympic champion swimmer. Two other countries also won swimming gold medals for the first time on the opening day. Ireland’s Michell Smith delighted her country with her first of her three gold medals. New Zealand also celebrated with Danyon Loader’s gold in the men’s 200-metre free style. Loader went on to win the 400 meters later in the competition.By late on the second day, the U.S. team’s officials and coaches were starting to be surprised. Penny Heyns of South Africa had broken the women’s 100-metre breast-stroke record in the morning competitions before claiming gold in the final.6. It is hard to predict the results of this month’s championships because _____________.A. players from different countries have sprung up as new championsB. many names of the players haven’t been heardC. a few countries have won international swimming competitionsD. the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta was a success7. What the U.S. had to face at the 1996 Olympics was _____________.A. new swimming powerB. a big successC. several unpleasant failuresD. a great deal of embarrassment8. The player of Belgium broke a world record in 100-metre breast-stroke which _____________.A. it had won beforeB. it has not gained beforeC. it had won many timesD. the U.S. had never won before9. How many gold medals have the other countries won on the opening day?A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.D. Six.10. It can be inferred from the passage that _____________.A. the U.S. is still the only powerful country in swimmingB. the U.S. has been a great swimming powerC. Ireland once controlled international swimmingD. Belgium had won several world swimming championshipsPart Two Listening Comprehension (35’)Section A (1’×15 = 15’)Directions: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.

While social media has its benefits, such as connecting people from all around the world and providing a platform for sharing information and ideas, it also has negative impacts on society.One of the positive aspects of social media is its ability to bring people together. It allows individuals to stay in touch with friends and family, no matter where they are located. Social media also provides a platform for sharing news and information quickly and easily, which can be beneficial in emergency situations.However, social media also has negative impacts on society. One of the biggest concerns is the spread of fake news and misinformation. With the rise of social media, it has become increasingly difficult to distinguish between reliable sources and fake news. This can lead to a misinformed public and have serious consequences for society.Furthermore, social media can have a negative impact on mental health. Studies have shown that excessive use of social media can lead to feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and depression. The constant comparison to others on social media can also lead to low self-esteem and self-worth.In conclusion, while social media has its benefits, such as connecting people and sharing information, it also has negative impacts on society, such as the spread of fake news and negative effects on mental health. It is important for individuals to use social media responsibly and critically evaluate the information they see online.以上是一份英语四级考试题目模拟及答案，希望对大家备考有所帮助。

"They are real silk," the assistant assured her, trying to tempt her. "Worth double the price." But edit knew from past experience that her choice of ties hardly ever pleased her father.She moved on reluctantly and then quite by chance, stopped where a small crowd of man had gathered round a counter. She found some good quality pipes on sale-----and the prices were very reasonable.

The question that Plato asks is whether those who put on the ring will be civil and moral.He thinks not,The internet has proven him correct.The web is no longer a place of community,no longer a marketplace.Every day more sites are eliminating comments sections.[J]If we could start from scratch,here’s what I think we would do：Greate a system that enables content producers to negotiate with aggregators(整合者)and search engines to get a royalty whenever their content is used,like ASCAP has negotiated for public performances and radio airings of its members’works.Embed(嵌入) a simple digital wallet and currency for quick and easy small payments for songs,blogs,articles,and whatever other digital content is for sale.Encode emails with an authenticated return or originating address.Enforce critical properties and security at the lowest levels of the system possible,such as in the hardware or in the programming language,instead of leaving it to programmers to incorporate security into every line of code they write.Build chips and machines that update the notion of an internet packet.For those who want,their packets could be encoded or tagged with metadata(元数据)that describe what they contain and give the rules for how it can be used.[K]Most internet engineers think that these reforms are possible,from Vint Cerf,the original TCP/IP coauthor,to Milo Medin of Google,to Howard Shrobe,the director of cybersecurity at MIT.“We don’t need to live in cyber hell,”Shrobe has argued.Implementing them is less a matter of technology than of cost and social will.Some people,understandably,will resist any reduction of anonymity,which they sometimes label privacy.[L]So the best approach,I think,would be to try to create a voluntary system,for those who want to use it,to have verified identification and authentication.People would not be forced to use such a system.If they wanted to communicate and surf anonymously,they could.But those of us who choose,at times,not to be anonymous and not to deal with people who are anonymous should have that right as well.That’s the way it works in the real world.[M]The benefits would be many.Easy and secure ways to deal with your finances and medical records.Small payment systems that could reward valued content rather than the current incentive to concentrate on clickbait for advertising.Less hacking,spamming,cyberbullying,trolling,and spewing of anonymous hate.And the possibility of a more civil discourse.36.The one-way hyperlinks enable users to do many things online anonymously.37.Although anonymity can make people conceal their identity online,now it has poisoned their online life.38.To adopt the voluntary system would be advantageous to our online life in a number of aspects.39.There are several ways to reduce anonymity if we can rebuild the internet from the very beginning.40.The author suggested inventing a system to let people go online anonymously or not as they wish.41.The author thinks the internet should be fixed not because he is afraid of new technologies but becauseproblems arise in it.42.Pubic opposition could become one of the biggest obstacles to carrying out the reforms.43.The hazard of anonymity mentioned by Plato has been shown on the internet.44.People used to think that anonymity online did more good than harm.45.It is the design of the internet that makes it impossible to find out where the information comes from. Section CPassage OneQuestions46to50are based on the following passage.In today’s world,online social media has become more powerful and the most destructive thing over worldwide.Although with time all generations have come to embrace the changes social network has brought about,teenagers and young adults are the most fanatic users of these sites.According to various research studies in the field of online social networks,it has been revealed that these sites are impacting the lives of the youth greatly. When using these sites such as Twitter,Facebook or Myspace,there are both positive and negative effects on the youth.Firstly,social media helps the youth and any other user updated with what is happening around the world, and helps the teenagers stay connected and interact with each other even if they are many miles apart.This strengthens their relationship.Even if they finished school and moved to different locations,they stay connected and update one another.In addition,social media sites have provided a platform whereby the youth can create groups and pages based on their common discipline and end up building connections and opportunities for their respective careers by updating various topics to discuss.Youth who have been interviewed say that social media has become their lifestyle and it makes their lives easier and more efficient.While on the one hand social network sites seem to bring people together and stay connected,on the other hand it causes many physical and mental health problems such as eyes infection,back problems,etc.Other negative effects of social networking various people suggested included encouraging poor spelling and grammar, exposing underage to online predators(捕食者),allowing spread of misinformation that is seen as fact, decreasing productivity as those who are supposed to e working spend time in the sites to chat,providing a perfect platform for cyberbullying and providing details that increase risks of identity theft.“The more social media we have,the more we think we’re connecting,yet we are really disconnecting from each other.”In conclusion,social networking clearly portrays both positive and negative effects on the youth.It is the decision of individuals whether to use it in a right way or wrong.46.According to the first paragraph,_______.A)both online and offline social media have developed quicklyB)social medial sites are always being attackedC)the effects of social medial were welcomed in the beginningD)the most crazy fans of social medial are the youth47.What is young people’s purpose in adopting the platform offered by social media sites?A.To improve their academic performance.B)To lay the foundation for their future careers.C)To practice their debate skills.D)To change their way of living.48.What does the author mainly imply about the disadvantages of social networking?A)Increasing the prevalence of oral errors.B)Putting minors in danger.C)Spreading falsehoods and rumors.D)Leaking users’personal information.49.The author’s attitude towards social media is______.A)objective B)positive C)negative D)impassive50.What’s the main topic of this passage?A)The introduction of online social media history.B)The research on online social media.C)The influence of online social media on the youth.D)The correct way to use online social media.Passage TwoQuestions51to55are based on the following passage.Cutting toxic levels of city air pollution to safer levels is simple,but not easy-it requires resolve.Yet,despite the key culprit(罪犯)in the UK being well known-diesel(柴油机的)vehicles-the government has been asleep at the wheel for years.Levels of nitrogen dioxide(二氧化氮)have been illegally high across much of the UK since2010.In2015 86%of major urban areas broke annual limits.Cutting this pollution means choking off diesel emissions and there is a wide range of effective measures available.Creating zones in city centres where polluting care are either banned or charged is important,while making cities safe for cycling cuts traffic too.Cleaner buses and taxis have an important role to play and change to the perverse taxes that encourage people to buy diesel over cleaner cars is needed.There is also some support for a revival of a scrappage scheme which saw dirty old bangers taken off the road.The environment and transport departments were well aware of all this and proposed many of these measures internally,only for the Treasury to reject most of them,arguing they“would be politically very difficult, especially given the impacts on motorists.”Motorists happen to be particularly badly exposed to air pollution,but the real political difficulty for the government is two humiliating legal defeats in two years where judges ruled its air pollution plans were so bad they were illegal.Ministers have now been forced to come up with a third plan,but clean air zones and car tax changes take time to clean up the air.Yet the UK government is also in the slow lane when it comes to emergency measures.When foul air descended on Paris in December,officials there swung into action.Public transport was made free and the number of cars allowed on roads was restricted,alternately barring those with odd and even licence plates.In the UK,during the same December smog,the government sent a few tweets.At the root of the problem are diesel cars,which successive governments across Europe have utterly failed to ensure meet legal emissions limits when driving in real-world conditions on the road.The gaming of regulatory tests by carmakers was blown open by the Volkswagen scandal.The scandal of governments prioritising supposed driver freedom over the lungs and health of their citizens is only now playing out.51.What does the author think of fixing air pollution in the first paragraph？A)It is a piece of cake.B)It needs political will.C)It is the main problem.D)It has a lone way to go.52.The aim of those in favor of a scrappage scheme is______.A)to reduce diesel emissions B)to encourage the use of old carsC)to retire low-end old vehicles D)to cut own on traffic accidents53.It can be inferred from the passage that the Treasury______.A)was quite clear about the current situation of air pollutionB)opposed almost every proposal about reducing air pollutionC)believed the anti-pollution measures to be unaffordableD)made such objections partly due to the effects on drivers54.Why do the UK ministers have to put forward a third air pollution plan?A)Because drivers are suffering the most from sir pollution.B)Because the first two plans were found illegal by the judges.C)Because long-term solutions are ignored by the government.D)Because emergency measures are falling behind.55.Which of the following measures did the French government take when smog suddenly arrived in December?A)Establishing clean air zones.C)Limiting vehicles based on license plate number.B)Reforming car taxes.D)Posting several announcements on Twitter.PartⅣTranslation(30minutes)西汉时期，中国的船队就达到了印度和斯里兰卡（Sri Lanka）,用中国的丝绸换取了琉璃（colored glaze）、珍珠等物品。

But none of the other planets in our solar system are capable of supporting life at present. One possible solution to the problem, however,has recently been suggested by American scientist, Professor Carl Sagan. Sagan believes that before the earth's resources are compleetely exhausted it will be possible to change the atmophere of Venus and so create a new world almost as large as earth itself. Thedifficult is that Venus is much hotter than the earth and there is only a tiny amount of water there.Sagan proposes that algae organisms that can live in extremely hot or cold atmospheres and at the same time produce oxygen,should be bred in condition similar to those on Venus.As soon as this has been done, the algae will be placed in small rockets. Spaceship will then fly to Venus and fire the rockets into the atmosphere .In a fairly short time, the alge will break down the carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbon. When the algae have done theri work, the atmosphere will become cooler,but befor man can set foot on Venus it will be neccessary for the oxygen to produce rain. The surface of the planet will still be too hot for man to land on it but the rain will eventually fall and in a few years something like earth will be reproduced on Venus.1.Inte long run, the most insoluble problem caused by population growth on earth will probably be the lack of ______.A.foodB.oilC.spaceD.resources2.Carl Sagan believes that Venus might be colonized from earth because _____A.it might be possible to change its atmosphereB.its atmosphere is the same as the earth'sC.there is a good supply of water on VenusD.the days on Venus are long enough3.On Venus there is a lot of ________.A.waterB.carbon dioxideC.carbon monoxideD.oxygen4.Algae are plants that can____.A.live in very hot temperaturesB.live in very cold temperaturesC.manufacture oxygenD.all of the above5. Man can land on Venus only when_______.A.the algae have done their workB.the atmosphere becomes coolerC.thereis oxygenD.it rains there四、书面表达：请起草一份通知，用一段话说明以下要点：参观日期： 3月25日，星期天时间：早上8点钟出发。

The development of cities has also attracted a large amount of foreign investment. Therefore, urbanization contributes to the further development of China's economy.解析：- “充分释放”用“fully release”表达比较合适。
