问题     【F1】Imagine every student has a tireless personal tutor, an artificially intelligent companion that magically knows everything, knows the student, and helps her learn what she needs to know. "You guys sound like you’re from the future," Jose Ferreira, the CEO of the education technology startup Knewton, says. "That’s the most common reaction we get from others in the industry. "
    When I first met Ferreira four years ago, this kind of talk sounded like typical Silicon Valley bluster from another scruffy, boyish founder of a technology startup.【F2】Today, several million data points generated daily by each of 1 million students from elementary school through college, using Knewton’s "adaptive learning" technology to study math, reading, and other fundamentals.
    【F3】Adaptive learning is an increasingly popular slogan denoting educational software that adapts its presentation of material from moment to moment based on the user’s input. Adaptive learning uses computers as interactive teaching devices, and computers adapts the presentation of educational material according to students’ learning needs, as indicated by their responses to questions and tasks.
    【F4】Adaptive learning has been partially driven by a realization that tailored learning cannot be achieved on the traditional, non-adaptive approaches and its systems endeavor to transform the learner from passive receptor of information to positive collaborator in the educational process. It’s being hailed as a "revolution" by both venture capitalists and big, established education companies.
    Starting this fall, Knewton’s technology will be available to the vast majority of the nation’s colleges and universities through new partnerships with three major textbook publishers: Pearson, MacMillan, and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. The company’s ultimate goal? A learning profile for every student—a sort of anonymous permanent record that travels from school years through college and onto employment.
    "There’s going to be one company in the world that does this," Jose Ferreira talks, "I think it’s going to be us because we’re so far ahead now. "
    【F5】In an age of swelling class sizes, teacher layoffs, and students with a vast array of special needs and learning styles, some reformers hail these software systems as a savior that could make learning more customized and effective and teaching more efficient. Adaptive learning will help each user find the exact right piece of content needed, in the exact right format, at the exact right time, based on previous patterns of use.
    Here’s what Ferreira thinks this software-powered learning can do. " Right now about 22 percent of the people in the world graduate high school or the equivalent. That’s pitiful. In one generation we could get close to 100 percent, almost for free."
【F5】
选项
答案在这个课堂规模膨胀、教师数量减少、学生学习需求和学习方式多样化的时代，一些改革家把这些软件系统誉为一个救星，它能够帮助学生制定更加个性化、更加高效的学习方案，也能使教师的教学更富有成效。
解析 该句是一个复合句，句子的主干部分是some reformers hail these software system as a sav—ior，而In an age of…是主句的时间状语。难点在于对swelling class sizes，teacher layoffs和studentswith a vast array of special needs and learning styles这三个并列成分的翻译。为了保持译文的工整，我们可以把这部分译为汉语中结构相同的三个主谓短语：课堂规模膨胀、教师数量减少、学生学习需求和学习方式多样化。
