  SECTION B INTERVIEW 10分

  [00:25.51]In this section

  [00:26.85]you will hear ONE interview.

  [00:29.25]The interview

  [00:29.89]will be divided into TWO parts.

  [00:32.32]At the end of each part,

  [00:34.07]five questions will be asked

  [00:35.67]about what was said.

  [00:37.43]Both the interview

  [00:38.75]and the questions

  [00:39.77]will be spoken ONCE ONLY.

  [00:42.64]After each question

  [00:43.97]there will be a ten-second pause.

  [00:47.00]During the pause,

  [00:47.97]you should read the four choices

  [00:50.31]of A, B, C and D,

  [00:52.68]and mark the best answer

  [00:54.28]to each question

  [00:55.60]on ANSWER SHEET TWO.

  [00:58.13]You have THIRTY seconds

  [00:59.34]to preview the questions.

  [01:31.19]Now, listen to Part One

  [01:32.75]of the interview.

  [01:34.15]Questions 1 to 5 are based on

  [01:36.80]Part One of the interview.

  [01:39.14]W: What are the advantages

  [01:40.72]of E-education,

  [01:42.54]Professor Gu?

  [01:43.86]M: There are at least

  [01:44.79]four advantages.

  [01:47.03]First, with access to the Internet,

  [01:49.30]students can overcome barriers

  [01:51.36]Of space and time.

  [01:52.86]For example,

  [01:53.90]we can make educational resources

  [01:56.68]in Beijing available to students

  [01:58.81]in Xinjiang.

  [02:00.21]Second, easy access.

  [02:02.63]For example,

  [02:03.52]we can put libraries

  [02:05.17]of multimedia resources

  [02:06.63]on the Internet

  [02:07.96]and students can have access

  [02:09.58]to these libraries just

  [02:10.90]by clicking the mouse.

  [02:12.63]The third advantage

  [02:14.19]is the optimization of resources.

  [02:16.71]For example,

  [02:17.38]we can tape the lectures

  [02:19.26]given by very prominent professors

  [02:21.37]and broadcast them live in China

  [02:24.06]and even in the entire world

  [02:25.91]through the Internet.

  [02:27.36]Because of these three advantages,

  [02:29.99]there is another big advantage,

  [02:32.28]that is,

  [02:33.00]the Internet technology

  [02:34.31]makes mass education possible.

  [02:36.81]As you know,

  [02:38.04]it is simply impossible

  [02:39.59]for the whole population

  [02:40.83]to receive education on campus.

  [02:44.01]It is impossible economically

  [02:45.72]or otherwise.

  [02:47.26]And this is

  [02:48.36]where the greatest advantage

  [02:49.86]of E-education lies.

  [02:51.69]It offers mass education

  [02:53.76]and education for a lifetime.

  [02:56.92]W: Can you briefly tell us

  [02:58.99]the history

  [02:59.65]of China's E-education,

  [03:01.00]Professor Gu?

  [03:02.59]M: E-education in China

  [03:04.19]started eight years ago

  [03:05.53]when the Internet technology

  [03:07.23]began to prevail.

  [03:08.69]People realized

  [03:10.24]that the Internet technology was

  [03:12.31]more powerful than TV,

  [03:14.14]because it really created

  [03:15.98]the opportunities for students

  [03:17.67]to interact with teachers

  [03:19.77]and among themselves.

  [03:21.49]In 1996 or later than that,

  [03:24.48]the Ministry of Education initiated

  [03:27.07]a piloting project

  [03:28.24]using the Internet technology

  [03:30.20]to promote education.

  [03:33.01]W: My understanding is

  [03:34.14]that an online education project

  [03:36.82]may involve

  [03:37.60]a large amount of money

  [03:39.09]and yet most investors

  [03:41.11]would expect

  [03:41.72]a quick return

  [03:42.61]for their investment,

  [03:44.40]so how did you solve that problem?

  [03:46.76]M: This is the lesson

  [03:48.06]that lots of investors have to learn

  [03:49.92]from this initial investment

  [03:51.35]into online education programs.

  [03:54.56]Initially,

  [03:55.51]they thought it might be possible

  [03:57.17]to have a quick return of cash

  [03:59.07]after the investment

  [04:00.53]for one or two years.

  [04:02.47]It is a misconception

  [04:03.88]of online education.

  [04:05.98]Sometimes,

  [04:07.41]I use a metaphor of building

  [04:09.14]a supermarket.

  [04:09.92]If you want to build a supermarket,

  [04:12.61]first of all,

  [04:13.26]you have to have these

  [04:15.08]infrastructures.

  [04:16.31]On top of the building,

  [04:18.12]you have to develop various goods

  [04:20.26]that people like.

  [04:22.08]It's the same with education.

  [04:23.97]You must realize you have

  [04:26.05]to develop courseware

  [04:27.15]that people really love.

  [04:29.40]And it takes quite a long time

  [04:31.21]to develop really good courseware.

  [04:34.15]This is the end

  [04:35.86]of Part One of the interview.

  [04:38.13]Questions 1 to 5 are based on

  [04:40.41]what you have just heard.

  [04:42.59]1. What is the interview

  [04:45.75]mainly about?

  [04:56.62]2. Which of the following

  [04:59.09]is among the advantages

  [05:00.36]of E-education?

  [05:11.96]3. According to Professor Gu,

  [05:15.35]what is the greatest advantage

  [05:17.16]of E-education?

  [05:28.56]4. According to Professor Gu,

  [05:31.83]when did the Internet education

  [05:33.93]start in China?

  [05:45.40]5. What can we know about

  [05:48.55]the online education program?

  [06:00.57]Now, listen to Part Two

  [06:02.38]of the interview.

  [06:04.04]Questions 6 to 10 are based on

  [06:06.13]Part Two of the interview.

  [06:09.11]W: Then,

  [06:10.24]how do you look at the so-called

  [06:11.71]digital gap

  [06:12.74]between the rich and the poor,

  [06:14.22]and between the urban areas

  [06:16.03]and the rural areas in China?

  [06:18.50]M: Actually,

  [06:19.47]the Internet technology can bridge

  [06:21.64]the gap between the poor

  [06:23.34]and the rich.

  [06:24.59]Take the development

  [06:25.66]of the northwest China

  [06:27.36]for example.

  [06:28.31]I used to think it would be

  [06:30.24]very difficult

  [06:30.99]for the Internet

  [06:32.00]to be widely accessible

  [06:33.47]in those areas.

  [06:35.34]But actually the government

  [06:37.11]invested money

  [06:38.15]and made the broadb0and Internet

  [06:39.91]access possible

  [06:40.99]in Guizhou and Gansu,

  [06:42.84]because the government realized

  [06:44.96]it is impossible

  [06:45.84]to have so many teachers

  [06:47.49]in those areas.

  [06:49.32]W: Perhaps the local officials

  [06:51.34]in those areas are just attracted

  [06:53.50]by the idea of E-education,

  [06:55.96]but nothing has been seriously

  [06:57.68]translated into action.

  [06:59.82]M: You are right.

  [07:00.71]The problem of

  [07:02.04]the local authority is

  [07:03.40]that they have the technologies,

  [07:05.19]but they don't

  [07:06.03]make good use of them.

  [07:07.32]So I think the biggest problem

  [07:09.03]of online education in China

  [07:11.42]is not the electric mind.

  [07:13.50]It is the human mind.

  [07:15.74]W:The biggest problem

  [07:16.69]that E-education

  [07:18.13]is confronted with

  [07:19.47]is probably the development

  [07:21.25]of good courseware.

  [07:22.60]What are

  [07:23.17]the difficulties involved?

  [07:25.12]M: To me,

  [07:26.45]the most difficult part

  [07:27.90]of courseware development is

  [07:29.88]that it is hard

  [07:31.06]to develop courseware simply

  [07:32.71]by putting in the concepts

  [07:33.82]of learning process.

  [07:35.86]We have to humanize technology.

  [07:39.29]This is the greatest challenge

  [07:40.79]in courseware development.

  [07:42.82]W: I have a question

  [07:43.62]about conducting

  [07:44.51]examinations online.

  [07:46.84]How do you make sure

  [07:47.85]the results

  [07:48.69]of the examinations are

  [07:50.47]reliable online?

  [07:52.63]M: This is a big question

  [07:54.21]and the big headache for us

  [07:56.20]at the moment.

  [07:57.07]We have developed

  [07:57.99]the online testing program.

  [08:00.23]However,

  [08:01.03]we can't implement it

  [08:02.15]because we have no way

  [08:03.39]to check whether the examinee

  [08:05.19]is the real examinee.

  [08:07.58]So at this moment,

  [08:09.39]we cannot do

  [08:09.96]any serious online testing except

  [08:12.74]for what we call

  [08:13.68]"safe monitoring testing".

  [08:16.23]The students can test themselves

  [08:18.05]for their own purpose

  [08:19.18]and check their own progress.

  [08:21.63]Any serious examinations

  [08:23.36]have to be done

  [08:24.11]in the traditional classroom.

  [08:26.34]W: Given the problem

  [08:27.87]of taking examinations online,

  [08:30.62]how can you persuade

  [08:32.03]your students

  [08:33.14]to accept the online exam

  [08:35.00]as a viable option?

  [08:37.06]M: We have adopted

  [08:38.01]the third party policy.

  [08:39.78]By the third party,

  [08:41.20]it means we authorize

  [08:42.70]the Examination Center

  [08:44.23]under the Ministry of Education

  [08:46.20]to conduct examinations for us.

  [08:48.90]W: Professor Gu,

  [08:49.99]two years from now I'd like

  [08:51.97]to interview one of

  [08:53.00]your degree-holders

  [08:53.99]from Beiwai Online

  [08:56.10]so that he or she

  [08:57.32]may testify to the effects

  [08:59.06]of online education.

  [09:01.46]M: That would be a great idea

  [09:03.48]and you are very welcome

  [09:04.84]to do that.

  [09:05.90]This is the end

  [09:07.78]of Part Two of the interview.

  [09:09.94]Questions 6 to 10 are based on

  [09:12.35]what you have just heard.

  [09:15.55]6. Which of the following statements

  [09:18.78]is INCORRECT?

  [09:30.35]7. According to the interview,

  [09:33.25]what is the problem facing

  [09:35.17]the local authority

  [09:36.17]in China in terms of E-education?

  [09:48.98]8. What is the biggest problem

  [09:52.51]developing courseware?

  [10:03.84]9. According to the interview,

  [10:07.45]why is online testing

  [10:08.91]a big headache?

  [10:20.18]10. Which of the following

  [10:22.52]is CORRECT

  [10:23.29]about online testing

  [10:25.19]at the moment?
