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.
    But the Open University is also moving with the tide. It has set up a "knowledge media institute" to explore ways of adopting information technology. Some teachers are concerned about this trend, arguing that the heavy investment that students are【S9】______to make in computer and communications equipment【S10】______the concept of "open". Cost, of course, is an important factor in many developing countries, where few people have computers or even phones. Rather than uniting the world, the new technologies could lead to societies of information haves and have-nots.
[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
【S10】

选项

答案F

解析 分析空所在句子,arguing后的that引导宾语从句the heavy…“open”,在该宾语从句中,由that引导的定语从句that students...equipment修饰的是the heavy investment,heavy investment为主语,the concept of “open”为宾语,唯独缺谓语,故本空应填第三人称单数形式的动词,[F]contradicts和[J]conflicts入选。conflict“冲突”作动词时需后接with,与本句不符,故排除,故答案[F]contradicts“与……相矛盾”。此处是说,学生对电脑和交流工具的大投资与“开放式”的概念相悖。
