Question

One of India’s top engineering schools has restricted Internet access in its boarding houses, saying addiction to surfing, gaming and blogging was affecting students' performance, making them lonely and even suicidal.

Authorities at the best Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Mumbai said students had stopped socializing and many were late for morning classes or slept through them. “Now, a student doesn’t even know who lives two doors away from him because he is so busy on the Internet,” said Prakash Gopalan, dean of student affairs. “The old dormitory culture of companionship and socializing among students is gone. This is not healthy in our opinion.”

IIT-Mumbai, with about 5,000 students, is one of seven IITs across India which are considered to be among the finest engineering schools in the world. They are also a talent pool for global technology giants. But their hard courses, tough competition and lonely campus lifestyle have taken an effect on students. Depressive and dysfunctional(不正常的) lifestyles are known to be common among IIT students, and at least nine have committed suicide in the past five years. Students have unlimited free Internet access in their boarding houses to help them in their studies, but many also use it to surf, chat, download movies and music, blog and for gaming.

Starting Monday, Internet access will be banned between 11 p.m. and 12.30 p.m. at IIT-Mumbai’s 13 boarding buildings to encourage students to sleep early and to try and force them out of their “shells”, Gopalan said. But the move has not gone down well with students who say they hate their lives being regulated. “Now they will say we need to listen to a lullaby(搖籃曲) to go to sleep,” said Rajiv, an electronics student.

【解析】

1. C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第后一段內(nèi)容“從周一開始，學(xué)校在校內(nèi)的13個(gè)宿舍實(shí)施限制上網(wǎng)措施，每晚 11:00至 12:00這一時(shí)段網(wǎng)絡(luò)將被關(guān)閉，以此來(lái)鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生早睡，并試圖用這種辦法促使他們走出宿舍�！笨芍狢項(xiàng)正確。

2.2】D 主旨大意題。全文指出了網(wǎng)絡(luò)對(duì)校內(nèi)學(xué)生的影響，先前的“互助友愛的宿舍文化”已經(jīng)一去不復(fù)返了。學(xué)校校內(nèi)宿舍實(shí)施限制上網(wǎng)措施，來(lái)鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生積極參加文體和社會(huì)活動(dòng)、多與別人交往，消除內(nèi)心的孤獨(dú)感。

3.3】 A 推測(cè)判斷題。短文最后一段提到：這一舉措實(shí)施的并不順利，學(xué)生們說(shuō)他們不喜歡自己的生活受管制。其中電子系的學(xué)生拉吉維說(shuō)：“現(xiàn)在我們得聽著搖籃曲入睡了�！庇纱送茰y(cè)學(xué)生中有抱怨情緒。
