Question

Electronic books have changed the way many people read for pleasure. Now online textbooks are changing the way some students learn and some teachers teach.

More than one hundred seventy-five thousand students attend the public schools in Fairfax County, Virginia, outside Washington. Last year, the school system used digital books in fifteen schools. This school year, middle schools and high schools changed from printed to electronic textbooks in their social studies classes.

Luke Rosa is a history teacher at Falls Church High School. His students work on laptop computers at school. He explains the idea to them this way. “I mean, it’s just like a regular textbook, except it’s got it all online.”

Peter Noonan, an assistant superintendent (助理監(jiān)督) of schools, said, “The world’s changing. And the online textbooks can change right along with the events that are happening.” Digital books also cost less than printed textbooks, he said.

A student named Melanie Reuter said, “I don’t have to carry a textbook around, so that’s nice.”

But another student said, “I don’t like it because the Internet sometimes doesn’t work.”

Students also need access to the Internet when they are not at school. About ten percent of students in Fairfax Country do not have a computer or online access at home. Public libraries in the country have free Internet. There are also after-school computer labs as well as computer clubhouse supported by the country. Middle school student Slieman Hakim is happy about that. He said, “My family only has one computer; my sister and I both do our homework on it. So I come here to do my homework. It’s good.”

Other school systems in the area are also considering online textbooks.

試題分析：本文主要講述的就是現(xiàn)在廣泛流行的電子書的話題，也介紹了一些不電子書的缺點(diǎn)，在文章最后還提及了這些缺點(diǎn)的解決方法。

1.A 推理題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句This school year, middle schools and high schools changed from printed to electronic textbooks in their social studies classes.說(shuō)明進(jìn)行social studies classes這樣的課程需要使用網(wǎng)絡(luò)和電子書，當(dāng)然還需要有電腦。A項(xiàng)是紙書，是不需要的。故A正確。

2.B 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第五段But another student said, “I don’t like it because the Internet sometimes doesn’t work.”說(shuō)明有時(shí)候網(wǎng)絡(luò)不行也就不能使用電子書了，故B正確。

3.D 推理題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段最后3行Middle school student Slieman Hakim is happy about that. He said, “My family only has one computer; my sister and I both do our homework on it. So I come here to do my homework. It’s good.”他很開(kāi)心的原因是不需要和妹妹搶電腦做作業(yè)了，可以來(lái)到computer clubhouse，故D正確。

4.D 推理題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段Public libraries in the country have free Internet. There are also after-school computer labs as well as computer clubhouse supported by the country. Middle school student Slieman Hakim is happy about that. He said, “My family only has one computer; my sister and I both do our homework on it. So I come here to do my homework. It’s good.”說(shuō)明這些學(xué)生可以到這些東西來(lái)做作業(yè)。故D項(xiàng)正確。

5.A 推理題。本文主要講述的就是現(xiàn)在廣泛流行的電子書的話題，也介紹了一些不電子書的缺點(diǎn)，在文章最后還提及了這些缺點(diǎn)的解決方法。故A正確。

考點(diǎn)：考查新聞報(bào)告類短文

點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文考查推理題較多，不僅要求考生讀懂文章中的每個(gè)句子的意思還要推理它們之間的關(guān)系，結(jié)合自己的生活常識(shí)和經(jīng)驗(yàn)，再通過(guò)邏輯推理和判斷，理解文章的言外之意，從而揭示文章的深層涵義。任何一篇文章都有其特定的寫作目的，讀者應(yīng)當(dāng)知道如何去做或按照某種方式傳遞思考問(wèn)題。推理判斷題的答案不可能在文章中直接找到，因此推理時(shí)我們務(wù)必要忠于原文，在文章中尋找并確定可推論的依據(jù)，即：已知部分－推論的前提，從中推測(cè)出未知部分－推理的結(jié)論，切忌妄加評(píng)論，把自己的觀點(diǎn)當(dāng)成作者的觀點(diǎn)。
