二卷 第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分） Ks5u 阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。 Ks5u [1]With the gaining popularity of the Internet over the past 25 years, thousands of online schools have appeared across the US and Canada ─some good and some not so much. The choices can be ________ , so let's start with some basic guidelines（指导方针）to choosing the right online school. [2]First and foremost, whether you are researching online colleges and universities, or traditional, campus-based colleges, you should make sure that your school is accredited（官方认可）by an agency recognized by either the United States Department of Education （USDE） or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation （CHEA） or both. Schools that are accredited by these agencies must pass the same strict standards as campus-based schools, and their educational worth is assured if they carry these qualities. [3]Next, take a long and careful look at the specific online degree programs that are being offered. As an example, you will qualify to enroll in an online master degree program only if you have completed your undergraduate degrees. Inquire as to the number of credit hours you will be required to commit in order to complete your chosen level of degree. [4]Lastly, be sure to find out if there will be any on-site visit requirements anytime during the term of your online education, and where and when these visits are expected to take place. While most online courses can be completed at your own home, there are some that require the students' physical attendance for exams or practical demonstrations（证明；示范）where you must be present to prove acquired skills. Those who are unable to travel or follow a strict timetable will be wise to take note of these types of requirements when choosing an online course of study. [5]With these guidelines in mind, you should have no trouble locating excellent online schools that will completely meet your educational goals. Ks5u |
