问题     Online classes began to be popularized just a few decades ago. They are advertised as a way for adults to finish their education and students to learn the material at their own pace—it is far more compatible for people with busy schedules.
    But after being enrolled in an online course last fall semester, I came to realize online classes were merely a means to fulfil course requirements.
    First of all, students lack the desire to learn, and they simply complete their assignments to receive credit for a passing grade rather than genuinely engage with the course material.
    As online courses tend to have more than 100 students, most of the assignments are short and simple. They are not designed for students to interact with the material in depth but designed to be graded easily to accommodate such a large number of students.
    Perhaps the biggest disadvantage of taking an online class is the absence of face-to-face interaction between the teacher and their students. Live sessions are infrequent and are often scheduled during the middle of the day when students have to attend other classes or work. The office hours of the professor may also be during inconvenient times for many students as well. Most interaction with the professor has to be through email which is often impersonal. It is nearly impossible for students to build a relationship with their professor.
    There is also little interaction amongst students. It can be harder for students to create study groups and form relationships with their peers.
    Online classes also require either a computer or laptop and a reliable internet connection. Not all students have access to these types of resources, whether it is for financial or other reasons, and some students can be put at a disadvantage.
    Offering online classes certainly helps students who would otherwise not be able to attend classroom sessions. However, they fail to provide a genuine education with an emphasis on convenience rather than critical thinking. We need restructured online classes in which students can have a learning experience that will actually provide quality education.
What problem may arise if classes go online?

选项 A、More students may find it easy to be absent from them.
B、Teachers will worry about poor internet connections.
C、Some students may have difficulty attending them.
D、Schools with limited resources will be at a disadvantage.

答案C

解析 推理判断题。第七段第二句指出,并非所有学生都能获得电脑、笔记本和稳定的网络连接,一些学生可能会因为一些原因无法参加线上课程。故正确答案为C)。由定位段可知,由于缺少学习工具,有的学生无法参加线上课程,但不能由此推出更多的学生会发现逃课很容易,也不能推出资源有限的学校处于不利地位,故排除A)和D)。第七段第一句提到在线课程还需要一台电脑或笔记本以及稳定的互联网连接,并没有提到老师担心互联网连接不好的问题,故排除B)。
