[交流] 讨论一下英语四级和英语六级阅读理解的区别。（希望大家积极讨论。金币可以追加。）

我的理解是：
英语四级的阅读理解很容易看懂，但是5个题目中有1~2个不一定能够答对，需要对文章的信息进行推理和琢磨。

英语六级的阅读理解相对不是很容易看懂，第一因为词汇量大，第二里面还会考察一些比较难的短语，句式之类的，所以看起来较困难。但是如果掌握一定的技巧，最终答题的准确程度会相对比较高。举个例子说吧：可以边看题目变做题目，原因是题目较容易看懂，从而可以指导我们去文章中寻找重要信息，去除掉看不懂的不重要信息。

希望大家积极讨论。金币可以追加。

我们以下面的一篇四级文章为例子来分析分析吧：
主要是看看问题和答案之间是一种什么关系，是一下子就看懂的，还是需要稍微想想的。
By almost any measure , there is a boom in Internet-based instruction . In just a few years , 34 percent of American universities have begun offering some form of distance learning (DL), and among the larger schools , it’s closer to 90 percent . If you doubt the popularity of the trend, you probably haven’t . It enrolls 90,000 student , a statistic used to support its claim to be the largest private university in the country.
While the kinds of instruction offered in these programs will differ, DL usually signifies a course in which the instructions post syllabi(课程大纲), reading assignments , and schedules on Websites , and students send in their assignments by e-mail . Generally speaking , face-to-face communication with an instructor is minimized or eliminated altogether.
The attraction for students might at first seem obvious . Primarily , there’s the convenience promised by courses on the Net: you can do the work, as they say , in your pajamas(睡衣). But figures indicate that the reduced effort results in a reduced commitment to the course . While dropout rates for all freshmen at American universities is around 20 percent , the rate for online students is 35 percent . Students themselves seem to understand the weaknesses inherent in the setup . In a survey conducted for eCornell , the DL division of Cornell University , less than a third of the respondents expected the quality of the online course to be as good as the classroom course.
Cleary form the schools perspective , there’s a lot of money to be saved . Although some of the more ambitious programs require new investments in servers and networks to support collaborative software , most DL courses can run on existing or minimally upgraded(升级)systems . The more students who enroll in a course but don’t come to campus , the more the school saves on keeping the lights on in the classrooms , paying doorkeepers , and maintaining parking lots , And there’s evindence that instructors must work harder to run a DL course for a variety of reasons , won’t be paid any more , and might well be paid less.
注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。
