22、E-Learning-An Alternative Learning Opportunity

Day School Program

Secondary students across Toronto District School Board (TDSB) are invited to take one or two e-Learning courses on their day school timetable. Students will remain on the roll at their day school. The on-line classroom provides an innovative relevant and interactive learning environment. The courses and on-line classroom are provided by the Ministry of Education.

These on-line courses:

Are taught by TDSB secondary school teachers.

Are part of the TDSB student’s timetable.

Appear on the student’s report upon completion.

Benefits of e-Learning

Include:

Access to courses that may not be available at his or her TDSB school.

Using technology to provide students with current information.

Assistance to solve timetable conflicts.

Students who are successful in on-line course are usually:

Able to plan, organize time and complete assignments and activities.

Capable of working independently in a responsible and honest manner.

Able to regularly use a computer or mobile device with Internet access.

Students need to spend at least as much time with their on-line course work as they would in a face-to-face classroom course.

B．they are not on the day school timetable

23、   A new device is helping those who are blind to see. It does this in a new way by helping them experience the world around them. The technology is called Orion, manufactured by a company called Second Sight. 【1】 From being able to see absolutely nothing to suddenly seeing little flickers of light, the blind can move around alone, telling where a doorway is and where the sidewalk begins or ends.

【2】 One is a small device placed in the brain. There is also a video camera on sunglasses and a processing device carried in a person’s clothes. When the user points the camera, a signal goes to the processor and then back to the glasses. The glasses then communicate wirelessly with the device in the brain. The information causes a pattern to develop in the part of the brain called the visual cortex (皮质). 【3】 And it all happens in seconds.

Jason Esterhuizen is one of just two people in the U.S. testing this technology. He lost his eyesight after a car accident. He never thought he would be able to see light or movement again. But with the movement of a switch, his world suddenly grows brighter. 【4】For example, it is easier and safer for him to cross the road because he can look down and just follow the white line that's painted on the road.

Researchers believe that one day this technology could benefit people who have lost their vision because of illnesses like glaucoma (青光眼) or diabetes. 【5】

24、   Zero-emission large passenger aircraft powered by hydrogen will be technically possible in five years, according to Airbus, but they will not enter service for at least a decade as the price of the fuel needs to come down.

The prediction comes from Glenn Llewellyn, vice-president of zero-emissions technology at the pan-European plane-maker. He said that while Airbus planned to demonstrate hydrogen-powered aircraft in 2025, over the next 10 years, hydrogen won’t be more economical than the fossil fuel.

For passengers to be flying genuinely emissions free aboard hydrogen-powered planes—which emit only water and heat — their fuel needs to come from hydrogen produced via renewable sources such as wind and solar, he added.

In an interview ahead of the Bloomberg NEF London Summit, Mr. Llewellyn said, “We already see massive increases in the amount of renewable energy being produced across the world. Wind energy production has multiplied by two over the last five years and solar energy production has multiplied by four.”

A further challenge is building up the ecosystem that hydrogen aircraft, along with other forms of transport, will need. This ranges from creating the fuel from electrolysis to split water into hydrogen and oxygen powered by renewable energy, to the actual transport of the gas and fueling systems for it at airports.

However, Mr. Llewellyn predicted that there was enough interest in the sector to make this happen. He added, “There are a number of independent institutes that have mapped out how hydrogen costs can come down over the next decades. We see a 30pc reduction in renewable hydrogen costs in 2030 compared to where it is today, and a 50pc reduction in renewable hydrogen costs by 2050.”

【1】What can we know about the hydrogen-powered aircraft according to the passage?

A.It will be an unrealistic dream. B.The cost of its fuel keeps rising.

C.It will be accessible within a decade. D.Renewable energy makes it environmentally friendly.

【2】What did Mr. Llewellyn say about renewable energy?

A.It gains growing popularity throughout the world.

B.More wind energy has been produced than solar energy.

C.Hydrogen can only be generated from wind and solar energy.

D.Hydrogen will be cheaper than fossil fuel in the coming ten years.

【3】What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 5 refer to?

A.Ecosystem B.Challenge C.Aircraft D.Prediction

【4】What is Mr. Llewellyn’s attitude towards the future of hydrogen-powered aircraft?

A.Objective B.Optimistic. C.Doubtful. D.Pessimistic
