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 does the author say about students enrolled in online classes?

选项 A、They can access course materials easily.
B、They are unmotivated to learn.
C、They can learn at their own pace.
D、They rarely fulfil the course requirements.

答案B

解析 细节辨认题。第二段起到承上启下的作用。第三段指出,学生缺乏学习的欲望,他们只是简单地完成作业以获得及格的分数,而没有真正参与到课程学习中。故正确答案为B)。A)是根据第三段最后提到的the course material设置的干扰,但是该句说的是“学生不能真正参与到课程学习中”,并没有提及学生是否可以轻松获得课程材料,故排除A)。C)是根据第一段第二句提到的students to learn...at their own pace设置的干扰项,但这是人们宣传的在线课程的优点,而不是作者的观点,故排除C)。第二段提到,作者意识到在线课程只是满足课程要求的一种手段,并没有说学生很少达到课程要求,故排除D)。
