Online classes began to be popularized just a few decades ago.They are advertised as a way for adults to finish their education and students to learn the material at their own pace—it is far more suitable for people with busy schedules. But after being enrolled in an online course last fall semester，I came to realize online classes were merely a means to fulfil course requirements. First of all，students lack the desire to learn，and they simply complete their assignments to receive credit for a passing grade rather than genuinely engage with the course material. As online courses tend to have more than 100 students，most of the assignments are short and simple.They are not designed for students to interact with the material in depth but designed to be graded easily to accommodate such a large number of students. Perhaps the biggest disadvantage of taking an online class is the absence of face-to-face interaction between the teacher and their students.Live sessions are infrequent and are often scheduled during the middle of the day when students have to attend other classes or work.The office hours of the professor may also be during inconvenient times for many students as well.Most interaction with the professor has to be through email which is often impersonal.It is nearly impossible for students to build a relationship with their professor. There is also little interaction among students.It can be harder for students to create study groups and form relationships with their peers. Online classes also require either a computer or laptop and a reliable Internet connection.Not all students have access to these types of resources，whether it is for financial or other reasons，and some students can be put at a disadvantage.Offering online classes certainly helps students who would otherwise not be able to attend classroom sessions.However，they fail to provide a true education with an emphasis on convenience rather than critical thinking.We need restructure online classes in which students can have a learning experience that will actually provide quality education.（1）What can we infer about students enrolled in online classes？ ____ A.They are unmotivated to learn，B.They can access course materials easily.C.They rarely fulfil the course requirements.D.They can learn at their own pace.（2）What is the author's opinion about online course assignments？ ____ A.They are meant to facilitate interaction.B.They are made convenient to mark.C.They are given to accommodate students' needs.D.They are based on easily accessible material.（3）From the passage，which is one disadvantage of online classes？ ____ A.They make professors' offices much less accessible.B.They are frequently scheduled at irregular times.C.They provide little chance for students to build relationships with each other.D.They tend to increase professors' burden of replying students' emails.（4）What problem may arise if classes go online？ ____ A.Teachers will worry about poor Internet connections.B.Most students may get critical thinking skills from it.C.Schools with limited resources will be at a disadvantage.D.Some students may have difficulty attending them.

题目解答
答案
（1）推理判断题。根据第三段First of all，students lack the desire to learn，and they simply complete their assignments to receive credit for a passing grade rather than genuinely engage with the course material.（首先，学生缺乏学习欲望，他们只是完成作业以获得学分，而不是真正参与课程材料。）可知，学生上网课只是为了修学分，并没有真正地进行课程学习，缺乏学习的欲望。故选A项。
（2）细节理解题。根据第四段中的As online courses tend to have more than 100 students，most of the assignments are short and simple.They are not designed for students to interact with the material in depth but designed to be graded easily to accommodate such a large number of students.（由于在线课程往往有超过 100 名学生，因此大多数作业都简短而简单。它们不是为了让学生与材料进行深入互动而设计的，而是设计为易于评分以容纳如此多的学生。）可知，网课上的课程任务设计不是为了让学生深入去研究课程，只是为了给众多的学生评分简便。A.They are meant to facilitate interaction.它们旨在促进互动；B.They are made convenient to mark.它们便于评分；C.They are given to accommodate students' needs.它们是为了满足学生的需要而设计的；D.They are based on easily accessible material.它们基于容易获得的材料。故选B项。
（3）细节理解题。根据倒数第二段There is also little interaction among students.It can be harder for students to create study groups and form relationships with their peers.（学生之间的互动也很少。学生可能更难创建学习小组并与同龄人建立关系。）可知，网课缺乏学生之间的互动，很难建立学习小组与同龄人建立关系。故选C项。
（4）推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Online classes also require either a computer or laptop and a reliable Internet connection.Not all students have access to these types of resources，whether it is for financial or other reasons，and some students can be put at a disadvantage.（在线课程还需要一台电脑或笔记本电脑以及可靠的互联网连接。并非所有学生都能获得这些类型的资源，无论是出于经济原因还是其他原因，有些学生可能会处于不利地位。）可知，上网课需要的硬件条件可能有些学生无法满足，由此可推断有些学生就无法上网课。故选D项。
