said neither he nor his colleagues were aware of a similar digital effort in a public school setting. This is the wave of the future. Lauro said. I39。m not surprised that a private school would beat the public schools to it. They have the ability to just do it. There is so much politics involved in public schools, when it es to a move like that, needing approval from boards and mittees. For Tom Collins, Stepinac39。s president, the mitment to digital source material was not so difficult a decision. In the past, students39。 families had to spend up to $ 700 a year on textbooks. This year — after the onetime purchase of a tablet or laptop — families only need to pay $ 150. Using the digital library is almost as easy as opening a new book. A student can instantly lap into a digital book and open a map of Egypt or a speech by President John F. Kennedy. A teacher can show a page from a digital book on a whiteboard at the front of the class or send students a link to a particular math problem with notes added in. The first few weeks may bring some challenges. Stepinac officials expect some parental disfort over dropping concrete books. They recognize there may be technical faults at first. And they will have to encourage students to leave spaceeating photos and music off their tablets — and to keep their tablets charged. (1)What is going on in Stepinac?

Nick Gibb said he had concerns about the effect that the phone was having on children, and also said the Government should introduce lessons for pupils on how to limit their screen time. Mr Gibb said, Schools obviously are free to set their own behaviour policies but my own view is that schools should ban (禁止)mobile telephones and smart phones inside school, and particularly inside classrooms. I believe very strongly that children should be limiting their own use at home. Every hour spent online and on a smart phone is an hour less talking to family, and it39。s an hour less exercise and it39。s an hour less sleep. And of course it is a lack of sleep that research is showing can have a damaging effect on a child39。s mental health.” The parents are told that children will be asked to break off at least every two hours and avoid social media before bedtime. The UK would be following in the footsteps of European countries if schools were to introduce a ban. with French pupils being told to leave their smart phones at home when they returned from their summer holidays last year. At the Festival of Education at Wellington College last summer, Professor Michael from America said that any sensible head would ban mobile phones. It39。s far too distracting for children having mobile phones. Texting, playing games, all this takes place. Mobile phones go off in classrooms, disrupting lessons. Ban them. If children want to use a phone in an emergency they can use the school phone.(1)What39。s Nick Gibb39。s attitude towards using mobile phone in school? ....(2)What is one possible result of spending too much time online according to the text? hour less exercise a week. effects on sleep quality. munication with family. improvement in mental health.(3)Which country has asked students to leave their phones at home? . Zealand..(4)What is the main idea of the text? Phones cause bad effects on our study. phones should be banned from classrooms. should forbid their kids to use mobile phones. can use mobile phones in case of emergency.【答案】 (1)D(2)C(3)D(4)B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,在英國,一些孩子帶手機進入課堂,這嚴重影響了孩子在課堂上的學習效果,因此教育大臣呼吁要禁止手機進入學校。 (1)考查細節(jié)理解。根據第一段中的“Mobile phones should be kept from classrooms, the UK minister for schools has said.”可知,英國教育大臣表示,手機應遠離教室。因此,Nick Gibb不贊成學生在學校使用手機。故選D。 (2)考查細節(jié)理解。根據第二段中的“Every hour spent online and on a smart phone is an hour less talking to family”可知,在網上和在智能手機上花費的每一小時意味著與家人交談減少了一個小時,根據課文內容,上網時間過長可能會導致減少與家人的交流。故選C。 (3)考查細節(jié)理解。根據第三段中的“The UK would be following in the footsteps of European countries if schools were to introduce a ban with French pupils being told to leave their smart phones at home whe
