问题     Part time education, that is, attending school at night or one weekend a month, tends to drag the process out over time and put the completion of a degree program out of reach of many people. Additionally, such programs require a fixed time commitment which can also impact negatively on one’ s career and family time.
    Of the many approaches to teaching and learning, however, perhaps the most flexible and accommodating is that called distance learning. Distance learning is an educational method which allows the students the flexibility to study at his or her own pace to achieve the academic goals which are so necessary in today’ s world. The time required to study may be set aside at the student’ s convenience with due regard to all life’ s other requirements. Additionally, the student may enroll in distance learning courses from virtually any place in the world, while continuing to pursue their chosen career. Tutorial assistance may be available via regular airmail, telephone, teleconferencing and over the Internet.
    Good distance learning programs are characterized by the inclusion of a subject evaluation tool with every subject. Another characteristic of a good distance learning program is the equivalence of the distance learning course with the same subject materials as those students taking the course on the home campus. The resultant diploma or degree should also be the same whether distance learning or on-campus study is employed. The individuality of the professor/student relationship is another characteristic. In the final analysis, a good distance learning program has a place not only for the individual student but also the corporation or business that wants to work in partnership with their employees for the educational benefit, professional development, and business growth of the organization. Sponsoring distance learning programs for their employees gives the business the advantage of retaining career-minded people while contributing to their personal and professional growth through education.
Which of the following is NOT an advantage of distance learning?

选项 A、The student may choose his or her own pace.
B、The student may study at any time to his or her convenience.
C、They can pursue their chosen career while studying.
D、Their tutorial assistance comes through regular airmail, telephone, facsimile machine, etc.

答案D

解析 细节判断题。短文提到的优缺点是几种教育方式之间的比较,问题问及哪个选项的内容不是远程教育的优点。选项A“学生可以选择自己的进度”,选项B“学生可以在他(或她)方便的时候学习”,选项C“在学习的同时还可以追求自己的事业”都是短文中提及的与另两种方式比较的优点。在短文第二段最后,作者指出Tutorial assistance may be available via regular airmail,telephone,facsimile machine,teleconferencing and over the Internet.辅导可以通过定期的航空邮件、电话、传真和电话会议以及因特网等方式进行,作者只是提出了一种可能,实际上是弥补distanceeducation的不足的一个建议,并不是远程教育(函授)的优点。因此选项D符合题意。
