6．There are many good online universities available．If you are considering this option for getting your degree，don't forget to check out this gem．Rather than give the standard sales pitch I will list the top reasons that I chose Western Governor's University for my master's degree．
Lower tuition（學費）
    The tuition is lower than comparable online schools．Each term is six months long，giving me more time to complete the requirements for the term．In addition，if I finish early and still have time left in my term，I can do a part-time job to earn enough money for me schooling．I find this option to be very cost-effective．
Flexible courses．
     If I have learned enough either through life experience，on the job training，or in class，I can take the exam and skip the other course．For example，I learned a great deal about special education law from working in the field，attended conferences，and took classes for my second bachelor's degree．1 was able to take the test，and pass，thus finishing the class quickly and focusing on other areas where I needed more studying time．
Personal support
    I have a mentor assigned to me．My mentor is my contact person for questions and support．I get calls on a regular basis．We talk about where I am in my studies，what my next steps are，and any question I may have．I also have the online Communities where I can go on the discussion with my schoolmates when I have questions．
Respected degree
    I checked with the State Office of Education to find out if this was a good way to go．I learned that a degree from Western Governor's University Was a respected degree that is considered comparable to a degree from a traditional brick and mortar（灰泥）university．
    I am nearly finished with my degree from Western Governor's University．I gain confidence in my abilities，and I am very happy with my decision．

36．From this passage we learn that Western Governor's UniversityD 
A．is a key American university     
B．a(chǎn)ttracts a great number of students
C．is a brick and mortar university   
D．is a good online university
37．How can the author get enough money for his schooling？B
A．He depends on his family's support   
B．He does a part-time job to pay for it．
C．He studies hard to get scholarship．  
D．He has a good job and a good pay．
38．We can infer that the authorA．
A．had received a bachelor's degree        
B．Hover went to university before
C．wanted to study special education law   
D．only studied the courses he liked
39．How does the author get in touch with his mentor？B
A．He calls his mentor at regular time．
B．His mentor calls him at regular intervals．
C．He calls on his mentor every few days．
D．He often talks with his mentor online．
40．The author writes the articleC．

B．in order to cause others to like online universities
C．to use his experience to praise his university
D．to show what he chooses is always right．

15．閱讀下面短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文．
High school students are overweight，out of shape and not interested in sports．And according to high school officials across the country，the situation is not getting better，based on a recent study claiming that high school student fitness has declined steadily for the last twenty-five years．This has put many high schools in a dilemma：they want students to become more fit，but they also fear that strenuous（劇烈的） exercise may harm their unfit students．
As a result，a number of high schools have cancelled long-distance running as part of their sports meetings，saying the races were cancelled because of lack of interest，but in the back of their minds，they must have also been thinking of the forty students in China between 2002and 2010who died suddenly after running long-distance races．
Long-distance running is not for the casual jogger．It is a sport that requires strength and endurance and a great deal of training．Most high school students have trouble running 1000meters without huffing and puffing （氣喘吁吁）．Five thousand meters，for them，is just a race too far．But by cancelling the race，high schools are sending mixed signals about fitness to their students：get fit，but don't sweat．
Some people show their understanding towards the cancellation of long distance running but more people criticize these schools，saying they try to run away from the problem instead of solving it．

13．Microsoft just finished a three-month experiment operating an underwater data center．A server rack（服務器支架） with the power of about 300PCs was placed into a water-tight（防水） steel container and lowered into the ocean off the coast of central California．
The unusual experiment was launched because current data centers are unpleasantly inefficient．They're built where energy and land are cheap （not close to where people actually live）．And they waste so much energy cooling their massive computers．The ocean can solve those problems．The cold ocean floor sufficiently cools the computing components inside the pod．And since most people live near the ocean，placing data centers under water could potentially increase the speed at which customers could access the information stored in Microsoft's cloud．
The experiment was so successful that Microsoft operated the underwater data center for 75days longer than it had planned to．The next step is to get a larger pod，with about four times the computing power，under the ocean for testing．Unlike the first experiment，the next pod will also be equipped with turbines，which will transform the ocean's currents into electricity．It's not clear when，if ever，underwater data centers will become a possible product．"Our first experiment was like dipping our pinkie toe in the water，and now we're going for the big toe，"said Lee，corporate vice president of Microsoft Research．
Microsoft is still analyzing the environmental impacts of the study．Data centers are both hot and loud，which could have damaging effects on ocean life．Microsoft found that the noise its underwater data center produced was drowned out by nearby shrimp and crabs．The data centers are also built from recyclable materials，and Microsoft believes that the total carbon footprint of underwater data centers will be"dramatically lower"than current land-based centers．
Given the growth in the cloud，industry analysts believe that most of the world's data centers have yet to be built．But building a data center takes at least two years-an  eternity in the fast-developing tech industry．As a result，Microsoft builds its data centers with the future in mind，installing far more computing power and space than it currently needs．
Lee believes that going under water can shift the building of data centers from construction projects to manufacturing jobs．"What if we could mass-produce these pods on an assembly line？"he thought．"We could deliver a data center，from conception to operation，in 90days．That's dramatically different than what's happening today．"

62．What is the advantage of an underwater data center？D
A．It can be lowered to the ocean floor easily．
B．It can cool computing components automatically．
C．It can be built close to the place where people live．
D．It can make information easily accessible to people．
63．We can infer that the underwater data centersB．
A．cause little harm to the ocean life  B．a(chǎn)re more environmentally friendly
C．change the course of ocean currents  D．a(chǎn)re easy to build in large quantities
64．The underlined word"eternity"in Paragraph 5means"A"．
A．a(chǎn)n extremely long time  B．a(chǎn)n extended period
C．a(chǎn) seemingly short time  D．a(chǎn) fruitful period
65．The passage tries to inform readers thatC．
A．a(chǎn)n experiment was made in operating a data center
B．Microsoft will mass-produce pods on an assemble line
C．Microsoft succeeded in putting a data center underwater
