  He has millions of students from all over the world. They listen to his classes online. They    16    see his face on the screen. Salman Khan, 42, from the US, is the founder（创始人）of the learning website Khan Academy.

Unlike other online courses that film teachers    17    classes, Khan's videos only use his voice and a digital blackboard for writing. He says he doesn't want a human face to distract（使分心）students. Khan also makes his classes    18    10 to 15 minutes so that students won't lose interest. They can also get scores from taking classes.

The courses are translated into more than 36 different languages    19    Chinese. About 80 teachers from the world's top universities are now also teaching on the website. But all this started nine years ago with just one man-Khan. These kinds of special courses make Khan Academy one of the world's    20    online education websites.

In 2006, Khan made homemade videos to help his    21    grade cousin with math. He posted the videos online and got thousands of views. This encouraged him to make more videos and create his own website Khan Academy.

Khan understands that many kids, especially those in developing countries, cannot get a good education. He has three degrees from universities. He wants to use his    22    to help more people. Thus, his courses are all offered for free. "Our task is to    23    a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere," he said.

Khan's website has    24    become very popular worldwide but won a lot of respect（尊重）. Even Bill Gates, the founder of Micros of, is one of his fans. Gates    25    over $1.5 million to support Khan and named him "the teacher to the world".

【解析】

这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述可汗在网站上只使用他的声音和一个电子黑板来写字，发只有10到15分钟那么短的视频来教学。这些视频被翻译成各种语言，他的学生遍及世界各地，使得可汗学院成为世界上最受欢迎的在线教育网站之一。他用他的知识来帮助更多的人，使得他的网站受欢迎，而且赢得了很多尊重。

16．句意:他们总是在屏幕上看到他的脸。

always总是；usually通常；never绝不；sometimes有时。根据“He has millions of students from all over the world. They listen to his classes online”可知此处用频度副词always表示“总是”。故选A。

17．句意：不像其他的在线课程拍摄老师上课，可汗的视频只使用他的声音和一个电子黑板来写字。

to give动词不定式；giving动名词；give动词原形；gave动词的过去式。此处film是动词表示拍摄，表示“拍摄老师正在上课”用动名词giving 做宾语补足语。故选B。

18．句意：可汗也让他的课只有10到15分钟那么短，以便学生不会失去兴趣。

as long as只要；as much as多达；as short as像……那么短；as soon as一……就……。根据“10 to 15 minutes so that students won't lose interest.”可知此处表示时间短，用as short as。故选C。

19．句意：这些课程被翻译成超过36种不同的语言，包括汉语。

including包括；with和；as像；beside在旁边。此处表示汉语包括在“36 different languages ”里面，用介词including。故选A。

20．句意：这些特别种类的课程使得可汗学院成为世界上最受欢迎的在线教育网站之一。

least popular最不受欢迎；more popular更受欢迎；popular受欢迎的；most popular最受欢迎。此处用“one of+最高级+复数名词”表示“最……之一”，此处表达的是“最受欢迎的”用most popular。故选D。

21．句意：在2006年，可汗制作自制的视频来帮助他的九年级的表弟学数学。

nine九个；nineth拼写错误；ninth第九个；the ninth是the+序数词的结构，表示“第九”。根据单数名词grade可知此处用序数词ninth表示顺序“第九”，此处有形容词*物主代词his，不需要用the。故选C。

22．句意：他想用他的知识来帮助更多的人。

knowledge知识；fame名气；courage勇气；value价值。根据前文“He has three degrees from universities”他有三个大学的学位，可知此处用名词knowledge。故选A。

23．句意：我们的任务是给任何地方的任何人提供一个免费的世界级别的教育。

give给；offer主动提供；provide提供；pay付款。此处用动词短语provide sth. for sb.表示“给某人提供某物”；此处用动词provide。故选C。

24．句意：可汗的网站不仅已经变得非常受欢迎，而且赢得了很多尊重。

ever曾；already已经；not不；not only不仅。此处用not only…but also…表示“不但……而且……”，此处用not only。故选D。

25．句意：盖茨捐赠了150万美元来支持可汗，并命名他为“世界的老师”。

gave out分发；gave off发出（气体、热量、气味等）；gave up放弃；gave away捐赠。根据“over $1.5 million to support Khan”可知此处用gave away表示捐赠。故选D。
