问题     Distance learning has moved far away from the traditional correspondence course, aimed at the individual student working【S1】______. The global reach of the Internet makes it possible to【S2】______geographically-scattered students in a【S3】______classroom. Methods such as multimedia, video-conferencing and the Internet will【S4】______allow students both to proceed at their own pace, and to interact with one another and their teachers.
    Even without taking the technology to its limits, the idea of education as a lifelong process is catching on throughout the【S5】______world. Already, working adults who pursue their studies part-time make up roughly half of students taking college courses in the United States.
    However, there is【S6】______in scholarly circles about how far the new technology should be used for teaching academic subjects in which personal contacts between teacher and students are still vital. Britain’s Open University, for example, a world leader in distance education, has embraced information technology【S7】______. believing it to be no【S8】______for books and the exchange of ideas at live tutorials and summer schools.

[A] lonely [F] contradicts [K] concerned
[B] debate [G] global [L] industrialized
[C] substantial [H] increasingly [M] virtual
[D] substitute [I] unite [N] expected
[E] cautiously [J] conflicts [O] alone [br] 【S3】
选项
答案 M
解析 空后的名词classroom表明，本空应填形容词，[A]lonely、[C]substantial、[G]global、[K]concerned、[L] industrialized和[M]virtual入选。lonely“孤独的”用来形容人，可先排除。global与前面的global重复，也排除。剩下的选项中只有[M]virtual“虚拟的”与前面提到的Internet“因特网”同属于一个语义场，故答案为[M]。[C] substantial“实质的”用来形容真实的物体，不符合此处语义。此处是说，全球联网将在地理位置上分散的学生集中到一个虚拟的教室里。
