【文章內(nèi)容簡介】
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? A.It39。s building a new library.B.It39。s reforming its textbooks.C.It39。s updating its digital resources.D.It39。s changing its management pattern.(2)By saying the underlined sentence. Lauro believes . A.public schools face great challengesB.private schools have their advantagesC.the effort is to cause instant changesD.it39。s a trend for schools to go digital(3)Who may worry about the move in Stepinac? A.Officials.B.Technicians.C.Parents.D.Teachers.【答案】 (1)B(2)D(3)C 【解析】【分析】本文主要講了Stepinac是第一個(gè)放棄了傳統(tǒng)意義上的教科書,改用數(shù)字圖書館的學(xué)校。這是未來學(xué)校向數(shù)字化發(fā)展的一種趨勢,但是家長們對這一進(jìn)程心存疑慮。 (1)細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第一段Stepinac has bee one of the first high schools in the country to drop all textbooks and replace them with a digital library可知Stepinac把text book變成了digitallibrary,應(yīng)該是改革了教科書,故選B。 (2)推理判斷題。由第二段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 ,私立學(xué)校在政策決定上比公立學(xué)校更有優(yōu)勢,如果在公立學(xué)校推行,需要得到很多人的同意。從中可以看出Lauro認(rèn)為未來學(xué)校向數(shù)字化發(fā)展是一種趨勢,故選D。 (3)細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由最后一段The first few weeks may bring some challenges. Stepinac officials expect some parental disfort over dropping concrete ,父母們對這一進(jìn)程很擔(dān)心,故選C。 【點(diǎn)評】考查閱讀理解。考涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解題和推理判斷題,細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確的選擇。推理判斷題不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí),要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷。4.閱讀理解 Some African schools are adding programs that teach what officials are calling soft skills to students. Soft skills are personal qualities that help a person relate effectively to others. Officials say this kind of training can help students succeed in the job market and in life. The training is being offered at the St. Bernadette Kamonyi Secondary School in Kigali, Rwanda. For weeks, its students have been visiting neighborhood businesses. The goal of these field trips is for the young people to learn what is necessary to secure a job. For the secondary school students, this information is important. In a few months, they39。ll plete their studies and try their best to find work. One of the Rwandan students is 22yearold Aminadab Niyitegeka. He says he will look for any job available. He hopes that what he learns in his work readiness class will help. Traditionally, secondary schools in Africa have spent more time on subjects like mathematics and science, largely ignoring areas like public speaking and teamwork. But that is changing. Schools are exploring new teaching models to offer soft skills and professional training. It is part of an effort to prepare students to bee better municators, problem solvers and citizens (公民). Rwanda has started a work readiness training program called Akazi Kanoze Access. It means work well done in Kinyarwanda, the official language of Rwanda. The program has trained more than 20,000 students to help make them more appealing to employers. Emmanuel Ntagungira is a teacher and works as a trainer for Akazi Kanoze Access, He often visits employers who have given jobs to high schools. The employers are very happy because the graduates are ready to work. He says he hopes the program will help lower unemployment, which stands at over 13 percent nationwide. He also explains that the graduates have a healthy mindset and employers are satisfied with the job they39。ve been doing.(1)Which of the following is not an example of soft skills? petent in software. with others well. a good speech in public. a good sense of cooperation.(2)In what way have secondary schools in Africa changed? focus on mathematics and science. ignore areas like public speaking and teamwork. apply new teaching methods. make an effort to offer students soft skills.(3)What can we learn from the passage? program Kazi Kanoze Access aims to appeal to employers. Niyitegeka will definitely find a good job after graduation. with soft skills are likely to get along well with others. have been visiting neighborhood businesses to secure a job.【答案】 (1)A(2)D(3)C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,介紹了在非洲一些地區(qū)和學(xué)校實(shí)施的“軟技能”項(xiàng)目,即關(guān)注學(xué)生個(gè)人品質(zhì)教學(xué)項(xiàng)目的實(shí)施情況,這種培訓(xùn)可以幫助學(xué)生在就業(yè)市場和生活中取得成功。 (1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“Soft skills are personal qualities that help a person relate effectively to others”可知,軟技能是指人的品質(zhì),能幫助人與人之間有效交流的品質(zhì)。所以軟件操作不是個(gè)人品質(zhì),就不是軟技能。故選A。 (2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“Traditionally, secondary schools in Africa have spent more time on subjects like mathematics and science, largely ignoring areas like public speaking and teamwork. But that is changing. Schools are exploring new teaching models to offer soft skills and professional training”可知傳統(tǒng)上,非洲的中學(xué)花時(shí)間在數(shù)學(xué)和科學(xué)等科目上,很大程度上會(huì)忽略公共演講和團(tuán)隊(duì)協(xié)作等領(lǐng)域。但現(xiàn)在這樣的情況正在改變。學(xué)校正在探索新的教學(xué)模式以提供軟技能和專業(yè)訓(xùn)練。所以非洲中級學(xué)校的改變是他們努力教給學(xué)生軟技能。故選D。 (3)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“Soft skills are personal qualities that help a person relate effectively to others.
