For Chen Hua, 28, an automobile engineer in Shanghai, reading out English text aloud after taking pronunciation lessons on a mob

问题    For Chen Hua, 28, an automobile engineer in Shanghai, reading out English text aloud after taking pronunciation lessons on a mobile app has become an evening routine. Chen might skip dinner, but wouldn’t trade even one language class delivered by the app for anything.
   Not having been using English much since leaving college, Chen feels the pressure to pick it up using spare time. The "pressure" arises from a constant fear of being left behind as English-proficient peers appear to get ahead. Academic circles refer to this as "middle-class anxiety", which is grasping some sections of China’s population.
   In a report released by leading online recruiter Zhaopin in January, one-fourth of surveyed white-collar workers said they feel more stressed than inspired, citing reasons from unstable paychecks to gloomy career prospects. Most important of all, many people worry that the worth and utility of their knowledge and qualifications could erode due to thriving technological progress, globalism and entrepreneurship.
   "Intensified peer pressure, especially at workplaces, is one factor that fuels our business," said Wang Yi, CEO of Liulishuo, an English-learning app that Chen uses every day. Wang, a Princeton computer science graduate and former product manager at Google Inc, launched the app over five years ago with the intention to disrupt China’s hidebound brick-and-mortar language schools.
   Liulishuo—it is Chinese for "speaking fluently" —brings social media and gaming elements to the genre. Wang said that unlike pre-school or K12 education, the adult-learning market is characterized by an inherent desire for self-improvement. Students of online adult education courses feel the fee is money well spent.
   To personalize offerings, Liulishuo has introduced big data and algorithms to quantify multiple dimensions of speech, as well as automatically tailor courses so that the courses could walk a fine line between challenging the students and discouraging them to the extent that they quit learning.
   Actually, this is not just confined to language courses. China’s growing learners have shown they will spend time on the right educational programs.
Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
选项 A、White-collar Workers Feeling Stressed
B、Online Adult Education Gaining Popularity
C、Young Learners Leading the New Trend
D、Mobile Apps Used in English Learning
答案B
解析 主旨题。文章第一、二、三段以Chen Hua的经历为例，结合一篇报道，讲述了白领面对着来自同龄人的压力，需要不断学习，避免落后；第四、五、六段以“流利说”这一线上学习软件为例，说明了“流利说”成功的原因之一是上班族面临日益增长的压力需要不断充实自己。文章最后一段表明越来越多的学习者将会花时间在一些在线学习项目上。整篇文章主要说明了在线成人教育越来越受欢迎。因此本题选B。
