M: Hi, Lynn. I saw you at registration yesterday. I sailed right through, but you were standing in a long line.
W: Yeah. I waited for an hour to sign up for a distance-learning course.
M: Distance learning? Never heard of it.
W: Well, It’s new this semester. It’s only open to psychology majors. But I bet it’ll catch on elsewhere/Yesterday, over a hundred students signed up.
M: Well, what is it?
W: It’s an experimental course. I registered for child psychology. All I have got to do is watch a twelve-week series of televised lessons. The department shows them seven different times a day and in seven different locations.
M: Don’t you ever have to meet with the professor?
W: Yeah. After each part of the series I have to talk to her and the other students on the phone, you know, about our ideas. Then we’ll meet on campus three times for reviews and exams.
M: It sounds pretty non-traditional to me. But I guess it makes sense, considering how many students have jobs. It must really help with their schedules, not to mention how it will cut down on traffic.
W: You know, last year my department did a survey and found out that 80 percent of all psychology majors were employed. That’s why they came up with the program.
M: The only thing is: doesn’t it seem impersonal though? I mean, I miss having class discussions and hearing what other people think.
W: Well, I guess that’s why phone contact’s important. Anyway, it’s an experiment. Maybe I’ll end up hating it.
M: Maybe. But I’ll be curious to see how it works up.
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
23. How is the distance-learning course different from traditional courses?
24. What is the major advantage of the distance-learning course according to the man?
25. What is the disadvantage of distance learning?

选项 A、It will increase the size of the class.
B、It limits interaction among students.
C、It requires too much traveling to different cities.
D、It will force students to watch too much television.

答案 B

解析 由选项中的increase the size of the class,limits interaction,requires too muchtraveling和force students to watch too much television可知,本题可能考查某门课的缺陷。对话中男士提到,…doesn’t it seem impersonal…I miss having class discussions and hearing what other people think,男士所怀念的正是远程课所缺乏的,[B]中的interaction among students是对class discussions and…what other people think的同义转述,故答案为[B]。
