Question

【題目】任務型閱讀
Currently offered by some famous universities, MOOCs are attractive to people who do not have the financial resources to meet the growing costs of university education, or who do not have formal qualifications. They also allow participants to study at their own pace.
The potential for MOOCs to deliver education is obviously vast—they could be considered as a huge step forwards in widening participation. They also have the potential to provide a unique window on universities that offer popular and valuable courses, they may attract some participants to register for formal fee-paying programmes at the same or other universities and are likely to promote new ways of on-line education.
However, it is still very early days for MOOCs. The quality of the education provision is highly variable, with many courses offering only recordings of lectures, and delivery is particularly difficult in some special fields that require practical classes, research projects or extensive library access. Besides, wider engagement with participants requires very considerable resource. Even limited feedback or examination becomes a major task if there are several thousand students in the class.
Considering the challenges, some people argue MOOCs will soon evaporate (蒸發). But they certainly provide good opportunity for widening higher education, are a means of raising awareness of universities to audiences of tens or hundreds of thousands, and are well worthy of serious consideration.

③根據第二段中的“MOOCs Are attractive to people who do not have the financial resources to meet the growing costs of university education,or who do not have formal qualifications.”這一句中前面部分“who do not have the financial resources ”可知。沒有滿足大學教育的成本增長的財政資源的人也可以上大學。
④根據第二段中的“MOOCs Are attractive to people who do not have the financial resources to meet the growing costs of university education,or who do not have formal qualifications.”這一句后半部分“who do not have formal qualifications”可直接得出答案。
⑤根據第三段中的“The potential for MOOCs to ····”和其后它的作用可知。
⑥根據文章第三段中的“They also have the potential to provide a unique window on ····”可直接得出答案。
⑦根據最后一段中的“considering the challenges,”可知，上面一段在說這MOOCs所面臨的挑戰。
⑧根據“and delivery is particularly difficult in some special fields that....”可知。
⑨根據最后一段中的“considering the challenges, some people argue MOOCs will soon evaporate”可知。關鍵詞是evaporate。
