The introduction of the iPad,with its touch screen technology,has allowed even very young children to take advantage of a computer.So what if all children in a school were given an iPad to use in class and take home with them?

Anne Laure Bazin works in a school where every child,teacher and teaching assistant is given a free iPad to use in and out of lessons.For her,the main advantage of everyone having an iPad had been the improvement in communication.Documents can be emailed straight over to workmates during a meeting.Children submit their homework by email,or through the school’s learning environment.Teachers now take the register(點(diǎn)名)using their iPad,which means that there is a record of which children are in school,and which classroom they are in.

The use of iPad has encouraged greater sharing of resources among teacher.All communication with parents is now done by email.Working as a group in class is much easier as children can share documents.The whole class can look at one child’s work by attaching(連接)the iPad to the whiteboard.If a child has forgotten the textbook,the teacher can take a photograph of the relevant(相關(guān)的)page and send it to the student in class.

While the use of the iPad in schools has revolutionized(變革)the way children are taught ,it hasn’t completely replaced more traditional methods of teaching .Worksheets are still used in class as some children prefer the contact with paper.The children all have a textbook and exercise books.In Anne Laure’s school,parents feared that the iPads would replace exercise books and children would lose handwriting skills.Anne Laure says,” The teacher are not ready to let go of the traditional style of teaching.We have welcomed the iPads in so much as they help communication and widen the resources available but we are not ready to let go of paper yet.The children themselves still value their exercise books and depend on them for review.”

1.The underlined word “submit” in the second paragraph means________.

A. discuss B. share

C. hand in D. send out

2.What is an advantage of using iPads in the classroom?

A. It saved students bringing the textbooks.

B. It reduces parents’ worry about teaching.

C. It improves the relationship between teachers.

D. It makes it convenient to share information.

3.What is parents’ attitude towards the use of iPads in the classroom?

A. Worried B. Indifferent

C. Annoyed D. Doubtful

4.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A. Teachers prefer traditional methods of teaching.

B. The iPads won’t take the place of printed materials.

C. More and more schools are using iPads.

D. Exercise books are more valuable now.

科目:高中英語 來源:河北省2017屆高三第十次調(diào)研A卷(課標(biāo)版卷)英語試卷 題型:閱讀理解

This is a time of year when high school students and their families are thinking hard about college. As seniors,juniors,and parents identify their top choices,discussions typically focus on the college itself. Is the institution small or large? How strong are the academics?What is the social life like? Do I like the campus? Such considerations are important, but they can cover the all-important question:Where will these college years lead?

Applicants should think seriously about which college on their list can best prepare them for the real world. They should look for campuses that offer well-structured programs to help them form a direction for their lives and develop the capacity to take steps along that path.

One of the most striking recent phenomena about college graduates in America has been the “boomerang” student: the young person who goes away to college, has a great experience, graduates, and then moves back home for a year or two to figure out what to do with his or her life. This pattern has left many graduates – and their families – wondering whether it makes sense to spend four or more years at college, often at great expense, and finish with no clear sense of who they are or what they want to do next.

The trend points to one of the great shortcomings of many of our nation’s leading colleges and universities. Structured opportunities to think about life after graduation are rare. The formal curriculum focuses almost universally on the academic disciplines of the arts and sciences. Advising on how various majors connect to pathways into the workplace is typically haphazard (沒有條理的). Career planning offices are often shorthanded and marginal (不重要的) to college life.

It doesn’t need to be this way, and in recent years some of the country’s top colleges have enriched their academic offerings with opportunities for students to gain real-world experiences.

1.According to the author, what do typical discussions on college choices ignore?

A. The function of college education in employment.

B. The difficulty in finding jobs after graduation.

C. High school students’ interests.

D. The academics of college.

2.Which accounts for the “trend” mentioned in the text?

A. Students failing to behave themselves.

B. Parents overprotecting their children.

C. Students choosing majors blindly.

D. Schools lacking proper guidance.

3.What will be probably discussed in the following paragraph?

A. Recipes for academic achievements.

B. Good academic programs in college.

C. Academic tips for college students.

D. Disadvantages of present college course.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A. A good way to choose a college.

B. A new trend in top colleges.

C. Connect subjects with life beyond college.

D. Make college one of life’s richest experiences.

From: Lee Haojie

Subject: Handheld Scanners

Ms. Hu, I received the parcel from Scan Technology 1 piece. The scanner model they sent is correct, and the quantity is right. However, I’ve discovered the cables and connectors are all wrong. They are not suitable for the model 8021101.

Can you do me a small favor and go through the product information website and see if the cables and connectors are still compatible (兼容的)with the 8021101 scanners? I have no wish to unpack the cables and connectors and try connecting them to the scanners. I believe we will have problem asking for an exchange if the cables and connectors are not compatible. If the website suggests an incompatibility, please contact Dan Richman and request an exchange for the collect model. (Refer to the invoice for his e-mail address.)

I will only use the scanners for our project once we have resolved the exchange issue. We should not proceed unless we get confirmation (證實(shí))on their compatibility. I am looking to resolve this in the shortest possible time as it would be disastrous to wait for this exchange without making progress on the project.
