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 leads to success to our own children.
B、It is equal to a better life for children.
C、It shows kids that their lives are meaningful.
D、It demonstrates our belief in freedom for all.

答案 C

解析 录音中指出良好的教育是通往美好生活的门票,让所有的孩子接受到良好的教育能让学生意识到他们的人生有价值(matter),C项的“它让学生意识到他们的人生有意义”属于同义转换.为正确选项。录音中指出教育不仅对于我们自己的孩子,且对于所有孩子来说,都是通往成功的道路。A项强调“我们自己的孩子”,与原文有出入:录音指出教育是通往美好生活的门票,而非B项所说的“等同于美好生活”;录音中提及教育的普及体现了我们对“人人拥有平等机会”的信念,而非D项所指的对“自由”的信念。
