Hi everybody. I’m speaking with you from the D.C. Public Library in Anacostia, where I just met with a group of promising middle school students. We spent some time talking about their lives, and how we all care about their success—and how that starts with a good education.
So one thing I announced here in Anacostia is a new project by libraries and major publishers to provide more than $250 million in free e-Books for low-income students. We also issued a challenge to mayors, libraries, and school leaders to help every student get a library card, so they can expand their horizons in a place like this.
It’s all part of our connected initiative to connect 99% of America’s students to high-speed Internet. Because no matter who you are, where you live, or how much money you’ve got, you should be able to access the world’s knowledge and information just like anyone else.
In a global economy, we’ve got to help ensure that everyone, of every age, in every zip code—urban and rural—has the chance to learn the skills that lead directly to a good job.
That’s also why I’ve put forward a plan to make two years of community college as free and universal for every American as high school is today. It’s something I’ll talk about in my commencement address next week at Lake Area Tech, in the small town of Watertown, South Dakota. It’s a community college with a graduation rate that is nearly twice the national average. They’re proving that a great education can be within everyone’s reach.
All of us have a responsibility to not only make sure our own children have pathways to success but that all children do. And a great education is the ticket to a better life like never before. Making sure all our kids receive one is the surest way to show them that their lives matter. And it’s the smartest way to prove to them that in communities like this, and in a country like ours, we believe in opportunity for all.
Thanks, everybody. And have a great weekend.
23. What does the new project aim to achieve?
24. What did the lecturer say about the plan about community college?
25. What does a great education mean to children?
选项
A、It provides two-year free education at community colleges.
B、It helps every American receive free high school education.
C、He will talk about it in/an opening ceremony next week.
D、It aims to raise the graduation rate by two times in the US.
答案
A
解析
演讲人指出这项关于社区大学的计划旨在为所有美国人提供两年免费的社区:赶学教育。A项是对原文意思的提炼和同义转换,为正确答案。录音提及高中教育是为了类比,说明社区大学也将变成免费,B项则颠倒了逻辑关系,错误;演讲人提到自己将在下周的毕业典礼(commencement)上再次谈及这个计划,而非C项所指的开学典礼;演讲人提到的毕业率,是以Lake Area Tech这所社区大学为例,而非意在D项所指的“此项计划旨在使大学毕业率翻倍”。
