21、Like many other people, I love my smart phone, which keeps me connected with the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop, because it holds all of my writing and thoughts. In spite of this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices 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 materials 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 am anti-technology. There' s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it, so I carelate 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 materials and the class discussion.

I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect students' 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 materials 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.

【1】Which of the following statements is true?

A. The author's history class received low assessment.

B. The students think highly of the author's history class.

C. The author made the rule in that he was against technology.

D. The author made the rule mainly because of his unpleasant experiences.

【2】According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may   .

A. allow students to get on well with each other

B. improve teaching and offer more help

C. prohibit students being involved in class

D. help students to better understand complex themes

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A. More and more students will be absent in history class.

B. The author will carry on the success in the future

C. Some students will be punished according to the rule.

D. The author will help students concentrate on what they learn.

22、   We all agree, surely – memorizing poetry is a good thing, and children ought to do it. But people do object. At least, they object to the idea that children should be forced to learn poetry. They tend to be people like Michael Rosen. Rosen has more practical objections to children having to learn poetry by the government’s order. Actually, Rosen is all for learning poetry, “when it feels right”, which is, he says, “one of those vague phrases much hated by people in authority and yet it is at the heart of good teaching”.

He’s onto something about the timing, but that doesn’t mean policymakers are wrong to insist on pupils learning poetry. The problem is that some influential educationists have come to see learning by heart as a waste of time when tomorrow’s adults will want skills more than information.

Let’s come to the most important objectors–children. Their objection tends to come in the least offensive form. It comes in the question: “Why are we doing this?” It’s a worthwhile inquiry. I teach at Sherborne School, where boys do learn poetry; and luckily there’s time in our lessons to answer that question.

Here’s one of the answers I give. There’ll be one time when your good friend is going to introduce you to someone with whom he wants to spend the rest of his life. There’ll be a ceremony to honour this union, and words will be very important. You’re likely to be the one who has to stand up and say, “Let me not to the marriage of true minds/ Admit impediment…” And when you do that, you’re going to be speaking for everyone in the room. Now, everybody breathes sigh of relief.

Learning poetry and reciting poetry forces us to think of it in this public way. However mysterious and intimate poetry seems, we need to remember it’s something we also share, and offer each other. So take some, and pass it on.

【1】What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to?

A.The right timing.

B.The poetry with vague phrases.

C.The government’s order.

D.The natural way to learn poetry.

【2】Which of the following would be favored by some influential educationists?

A.To guide children how to recite poetry.

B.To instruct children on how to get information.

C.To teach students real life skills for the future.

D.To force children to obey the government policy.

【3】As for the children’s question, the teacher should _______.

A.consider it offensive B.take it seriously C.dismiss it as worthless D.discuss it after class

【4】What’s the writer’s attitude towards poetry learning?

A.Objective. B.Supportive. C.Critical D.Disapproving.

26、阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。

One night, when we were having dinner, suddenly Mom let out, “I have a great idea!” My sister Keira and I looked at each other, feeling confused and wondering what she wanted to say.

“What if,” she said, with a long pause, “we furnish Nancy’s apartment while she’s away?”

Nancy, our nanny (保姆) had returned to her hometown to get her children and bring them back with her. When her children were only one and five years old, she had left them to work as a caregiver abroad where the working conditions were not very good. Later, through friends, Nancy heard that our country was the land of opportunity. With rich working experience, Nancy came to our house and here we got along well with each other although sometimes we had difficulty in communication because of language.

Five years after her arrival and working here, she was allowed to apply for a permanent resident’s statue. It took so long to get it, so we celebrated with a cake the night the letter that informed her finally came.

“Could you do me a big favor?” Nancy asked Mom before she left for her hometown. ”I’ve ordered some mattresses (床垫) so we have something to sleep on when we arrive. Do you think you could receive them and let the delivery man deliver it into my apartment?“

”No problem,“ said Mom.

”Hey Mom, I hate to burst your bubble (幻想),” I said, “but how are we possibly going to furnish an entire apartment? ”

“Well, we have some extra stuff in the attic,” she replied. “Maybe we can help our neighbors and Nancy at the same time. The neighbors can donate their extras, and we can piece together a great home for Nancy. Let’s send an e-mail and see.” So the e-mail went to about seventy neighbors in our community.
