Question

Who wants to carry a bulky bag to school? No children. Nobody wants one shoulder to be lower than the other, and paining(疼痛) too. In India, most of us would look at the reduction(減少) of textbooks as a way out. But in a country like America, there are always more choices. A company called Goreader has created a “school bag” which is the size of a laptop computer, weighing about 2.5kg. The Goreader has a colour screen and can “hold” all the textbooks that a student may need, says a report in “The Asian Age” newspaper.

The company plans to work closely with the publishers of test books so that these books can be supplied on the Internet. All the students will have to download their textbooks. Making notes and marking important parts of a lesson can be done just as lots of students have done on their textbooks before.

At present, the plan is being tested out in a university. Richard Katzmann, the owner of the company is having his creation tested at Chicago’s DePaul University, where he studied. Does that mean it is goodbye to the newspaper, and the smell of the black ink?

2.What would Indians do to solve this problem?

【解析】

試題分析：這篇文章主要介紹了為了減輕書包的重量，美國發(fā)明了一種新的書包。它帶有顯示屏，學生只要下載教材到里面，就能夠把書包當課本用。這種書包已經(jīng)開始了試用，這是否意味著我們要告別紙質(zhì)教材呢 ？

1.詞義猜測題。從后文Nobody wants one shoulder to be lower than the other, and paining(疼痛) too.沒有人愿意一個肩膀比另一個肩膀低，并承受疼痛。從而判斷沒人愿意背大而中的書包，故選C。

2. 細節(jié)理解題。文章第一段 In India, most of us would look at the reduction(減少) of textbooks as a way out。在印度，大多數(shù)人認為減輕課本的重量是一個解決辦法，故選A。

3.判斷推理題。在文章的第二三段，講了美國減輕書包重量這個方法的優(yōu)點，從而判斷作者認為這個方法更好，故選C。

4.判斷推理題。從文中描述The Goreader has a colour screen and can “hold” all the textbooks that a student may need.這種Goreader書包有個彩色屏幕，能個容納所有學生的教材；All the students will have to download their textbooks.學生要做的就是下載課本。從而判斷這種書包可以用做教材，故選B。

5.判斷推理題。根據(jù)文中的描述，學生們不再需要紙張的教材，只要下載教材就能通過Goreader書包來學習，以及文章的最后一句Does that mean it is goodbye to the newspaper, and the smell of the black ink?這是否意味著要和紙張和黑色墨水顏色說再見了呢？從而判斷D正確。
