Students at Empire High School started class with no text books－but it wasn’t b
题型：不详难度：来源：
Instead, the school gave iBooks－laptop computersto each of its 340 students, becoming one of the first US public schools to stop printed textbooks.
School officials believe that the electronic materials will make students enjoy learning more. Empire High Schoolwas designed to have a textbook-free environment.
Students at Empire High School get the materials over the school’s Internet network. The school has a central control system that limits what can be downloaded(下载) at the school.
“Students can hand in homework online. We have a web program that helps to check if you copy from others,” the headmaster Baker said.
In addition to offering up-to-date information, teachers can make the lessons more enjoyable. For example, lessons in history can include links to a person’s daily life, his ideas, his discovery, and so on.
Social studies teacher Jeremy Gypton said the change was easier than expected. Gypton said he assigned reading based on websites, used online groups and message boards to keep the students connected. And he also asked them to comment（评论）on each other’s work.
Julian Tarazon, a new student, said that it was kind of hard at first, because you had to put things in folders(文件夹). But after a couple of days, you got used to it. Another student Morgan Northcutt said the computer system had made it easier to do homework.
The school isn’t completely paperless, however. It has a library, and students can read books in it.
“We’re not trying to get rid of books,” Baker said. “We love books.”

解析
试题分析：短文大意：在帝国高中学生上课没有课本－但并不是因为钱的问题。相反，学校给给每位学生－iBook笔记本电脑，成了第一个停止使用印刷教科书的美国公立学校。给学生提供了一个创意共享的平台。
小题1:细节理解题。文章的第二段讲述“学校使用ibooks，学校停止使用printed textbooks”， 停止使用printed textbooks就是不再用的意思，所以本题选B。
小题2:细节理解题。文章第一段讲述“不是钱的问题”，文章第四段讲述“学校有一个控制下载内容的中央系统”，所以其网络没有限制。文章第五段讲述“学校有一个帮助检查是否抄袭的程序”。所以，根据本篇文章的主要意思，学校推广ibooks是因为“想要改进教学”，所以本题选C。
小题3:细节理解题。文章第四段讲述“学校有一个控制下载内容的中央系统”，所以答案为B。
小题4:词义猜测题。文章第七段第二行，“Gypton老师是基于网页来进行给学生布置阅读任务”，然后通过“在线小组进行连接”。所以本题的答案为D。
小题5:细节理解题。本题主要问“网上作业的最大优势”，但是学生必须理解考试手册词汇“advantage”。回答这个问题需要理解整篇文章的意思，然后通过四个论述的比较选择符合文章主要意思，所以本题选D，给学生提供了一个创意共享的平台。
小题6:主旨大意题。文章的主要内容是“使用ibooks来代替textbooks”，其他的三个内容只是论述的三个方面。所以本题选A。
举一反三
小题1: Here are some predictions: things to come, things to go.
The Spring Festival, the most important Chinese holiday when everyone returns home, has caused headaches for millions of Chinese. More than 2 billion people travel at the same time, making getting travel tickets and the journey difficult. 小题2: China plans to build more than 120,000 kilometers of railway and a fast transportation network that will serve 90% of the population by 2020. And because most of China will be cities, people will not have to go to other places to find a job, so it will no longer be a problem.
小题3: In the future, digital newspapers will be sent to personal web tools through Internet. Readers can discuss topics with journalists and editors. Information will move faster.
小题4: But scientists have found something else for oil as fuel. Coal, natural gas, solar power, nuclear power and even water can take the place of oil as sources of energy.
Schools will go electronic. 小题5: Everything will be in the computer and students will not need to bring books to school. They will find information on the Internet. A computer will be the students’ library, schoolbag and connection to the outside world. There will be robot teachers. They will check homework on computers and communicate with the students’ parents through e-mail. And school buses will be like spaceships, comfortable and safe.
| A．What might the future be like? |
| B．Oil is running out faster than expected. |
| C．Computers will be important and popular among the students. |
| D．But in 28 years, Spring Festival travel may not be a problem at all. |
But not all parents think about this. Once a mother told us that every morning her l0-year-old boy puts up one finger with his eyes still closed, begging(乞求)one more minute to sleep. Like thousands of student "Early Birds " in China, he has to get up before six every morning.
A report shows that if（如果) they don"t have a good night"s sleep, students will be tired(疲倦）next day. Many students have fallen asleep (入睡) during classes. Too much homework is not the only reason(原因) why students stay up late. Some watch TV or play games late in the night.
Experts ever say that students should develop (养成)good study habits. So some smart students never study late, and they can also work well in class.
小题1:The l0-year-old boy begs for one more minute to sleep because _______________.
| A．he doesn"t have enough sleep. |
| B．it isn"t the time for him to get up. |
| C．he doesn"t want to go to school. |
| D．he wants his mother to wake him up. |
| A．They like to see their children sleep little. |
| B．They don’t like sleeping. |
| C．They want their children to have a good sleep. |
| D．They like to see their children study hard. |
| A．get up early. | B．get up late. |
| C．sleep less. | D．don"t want to sleep. |
| A．not sleep because they are too tired. |
| B．not learn well in class. |
| C．go to bed early. |
| D．not be good at English. |
| A．if you want to study better, you must work hard. |
| B．sleeping less means working hard. |
| C．some smart students can also work well in class because they have good study habits. |
| D．students don"t have enough sleep only because they have a lot of homework to do. |
Many bloggers are teens who’ve been logging (进入) onto sites to talk about anything in their lives. Many of today’s teenagers are not afraid to openly discuss everything in their lives. Teens complain about parents and homework. They share diaries, post songs from the latest bands and show pictures of theirs. They write their own poems (诗), say something about their girlfriends or boyfriends and complain to each other or offer support. But mostly they just write down what they do every day.
However, many parents are afraid of these young bloggers. Parents see the kids talking about how they got drunk (喝醉的) last weekend and how they don’t like studying. They are using language that is surprising to their parents. Besides hearing from their friends, teen bloggers also get messages from strangers. Most of the time, it’s older men asking to meet teenage girls. “These strange men are dangerous for my kids. They sometimes teach my kids bad words,” said Cara Cabral, a mother of two.
Many teens and young adults know it’s not safe to use blogs on the Internet. They know they are putting information about themselves in a place they can be seen by anyone. But teens are unlikely to give up these new communication tools that have become a way of life for many of them.
Are you a blogger? What do you think of the blog?
小题1:The word “it” means ___________ in the first paragraph “People talk about it often”.
| A．the Internet | B．the blog | C．the website | D．talking on line |
| A．complain about parents and homework |
| B．share diaries and show pictures of theirs |
| C．offer support to each other |
| D．write down what they do every day |
| A．A blogger’s information about himself can be seen by anyone on the Internet. |
| B．Most of today’s teenagers aren’t afraid to openly discuss everything in their lives. |
| C．Teenagers are willing to try to give up blogging. |
| D．Many teens know it’s not safe to use the blog on the Internet. |

Under plans, schools will operate longer days and work outside standard school terms.
Each teenager will be expected to spend between four hours and two days a week on work placements with business related to the school and a personal coach will be sent to the teenagers to act as a school “line manager”.
The reforms (改革) are put forward because of the fears that too many teenagers are finishing full-time education at present but they are short of the skills needed to succeed in the workplace. According to a recent report, more than two thirds of employers (雇主) believe school and college leavers have less important employability skills, while 55% say they are unable to manage their time or daily routine. And the number of NEETs who are not in education has hit a record high, with almost one-in-five young people being left without a job or a training place.
The Department for Education will tell the public the building of 12 studio schools – providing for around 3,600 teenagers – in areas such as Liverpool, Stevenage, Stock-on-Trent and Fulham, west London. Each one will be connected to the local employers. Under plans, teenagers will be able to move out of ordinary schools to attend them between the ages of 14 and 19.
The government said all subjects would be taught “through projects, often prepared with employers” – with rules such as science being connected directly to local engineering companies or hospitals. Schools will operate a longer day to give teenagers a better understanding of the needs of the workplace. Along with their studies, students will carry out work placements for four hours a week, rising to two days a week of paid work for those aged 16 to 19. They will also get the chance to take professional qualifications (专业资历) connected directly to the needs of local employers.
小题1:According to the passage, NEETs refer to those who ______.
| A．often miss classes from studio school |
| B．prefer studio schools to ordinary schools |
| C．refuse to take any part-time job after school |
| D．are not in education, employment or training |
| A．skills to finish full-time education |
| B．personal coaches to help with the work |
| C．chances to get future jobs with job training |
| D．jobs to make money without going outside |
| A．The worry about educated teenagers short of working skills. |
| B．The doubt about whether full-time education is perfect. |
| C．The decision to solve the problems of unemployment. |
| D．The increasing number of teens who drop out early. |
| A．Studio schools are popular in UK at present. |
| B．More NEETs will find jobs from Studio schools. |
| C．Teenagers will get jobs without full-time education. |
| D．Studio schools are built to improve teens’ employability skills. |
