问题     Part time education, that is, attending school at night or for one weekend a month, tends to drag the process out over time and put the completion (完成,结束) of a degree program out of reach of many people. Additionally, such programs require a fixed time commitment(保证) 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 (辅导的) assistance may be available via regular airmail, telephone, facsimile(传真) machine, 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 (取得的文凭) 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 (公司) or business that wants to work in partnership with their employees for the educational benefit, professional development, and business growth of the organization. Sponsoring (赞助) 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 事实细节题。根据文章第二段可知,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”和选项C“在学习的同时还可以追求自己的事业”都是远程教育的优点。文章第二段最后一句“Tutorial assistance may be available via regular airmail,telephone,facsimile machine,teleconferencing and over the Internet.”只是弥补distance education不足的一个建议,并不足远程教育的优点。因此选D。
