阅读理解:2011年北京卷C篇
Students and Technology in the Classroom
I love my blackberry—it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop computer, as it holds all of my writing and thoughts. Despite this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices(设备) and truly communicate with others.
On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule —no laptop, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.
Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I amanti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course, the
7
material and the class discussion.
I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create .Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge , they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom .
I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change ,I’m sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.
D) 63. Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with____
A. the course material B. others’ misuse of technology
C. discussion topics D. the author’s class regulations
A) 64. The underlined word “engage ” in para.4 probably means ____
A. explore B. accept C. change D. reject
A) 65. According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may ____
A. keep students from doing independent thinking
B. encourage students to have in-depth conversations
C. help students to better understand complex themes
D. affect students’ concentration on course evaluation
D) 66. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ____
A. is quite stubborn B. will give up teaching history
C. will change his teaching plan soon D. values technology-free dialogues in his class
任务型阅读
Tim is a scientist. He studies how different insects and animals communicate with each other. Read the notes he has prepared for today’s speech.
Good afternoon. Today's speech is about language—but not language as we know it. It's a different type of language—a way of communicating that most people probably have not even noticed. This is the language of bees, the way they talk to each other.
Scientists have studied the society bees live in for many years and know that bees have a well-developed language that is different from those of other animals. This was first discovered in the 1920s by an Austrian named Karl von Frisch, who found that bees pass important messages to each other about where to find food.
How do they do it? You may ask. A searcher bee goes out looking for new food supplies. She returns home and gives her information to the worker bees there. The major way that bees communicate is by touch. This is how bees can tell which type of flower the searcher bee has found. The searcher bee then does a dance to give the worker bees more information. There are two types of dance that tell about food: the 'waggle' dance and the 'circle' dance.
7
The searcher bee will perform the waggle dance if the food supply is far away from home. In this dance, the searcher bee moves in a small figure of 8 pattern. She waggles her stomach. The number of waggles she does and how long she dances tell the worker bees how far away the food supply is. The way she does the dance tells the worker bees how good the food is. The way she does the figure of 8 pattern also tells the other bees where the sun is in the sky. The worker bees then fly to the food supply using all this information.
The searcher bee does the circle dance when the food supply is close to the home. In this dance, she moves in small circles, which tells the worker bees that the food is very near. However, the circle dance
does not give them any directions. It is amazing that the clever bees still know where to find the food.
Fill in the form below using the information from the notes above.
