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、To invest $215 million in free e-Books for students.
B、To make sure every student has access to libraries.
C、To connect all American students to high-speed Internet.
D、To ensure enough money for every single child.
答案
B
解析
演讲人提出要让每一个学生都拥有一张图书馆卡以开拓学生们的视野。即B选项所表达的“让每个学生都有机会使用图书馆”。A项在数字上与原文有出入,原文为投入2亿5千万美元,若听得不仔细,容易把250听成A项中的215;录音中指出要让99%的美国学生能够高速上网,但C项表达的是“所有学生”,数据不实;原文并非要保证学生拥有足够的钱,而是指无论学生住在哪里、贫富与否,都应能够接受世界上最先进的知识和信息。排除D。
