Question

【題目】

Mobile phones have changed the way we communicate, but people disagree on whether the devices are useful tools for education.

Students can be easily distracted by their phones during class. Are they listening to the teacher or texting their friends? Are they taking a picture of a quiz to cheat?

School officials, teachers and parents are all trying to find out the best way to supervise students’ use of mobile or cellphones.

In the Canadian province of Ontario, officials are restricting (限制) phone use during teaching time. However, there are exceptions for classroom activities, health and other emergencies.

France passed a law in 2018 banning (禁止) the use of cellphones in schools for students up to age 15, the age when they go to high school.

Last July, a new law was signed in California. It says state public and charter schools can ban students from using smart phones in class and at school. It does not, however, say schools are required to completely ban the devices. There are exceptions, which include emergencies or problems related to health.

So, the officials turned to technology for answers. San Mateo High School now locks up cell phones during the day in a special container. Each student must put his phone away in small bag with a kind of lock. At the end of the day, students unlock the bag with a device.

Other schools are choosing simpler answers to the problem—they ban cellphones in classrooms. “They wanted to provide a clean break for students and not have the frenetic energy that can happen if kids start texting each other or social-media posts start going,” Behm said.

Education Week found that more than 30 schools, and in some cases school districts, have put in place some kind of restrictions during the current or last school year. Districts across the country also have their own ways of phone restrictions both formal or informal.

Toth said students have grown up with cellphones, and “it is our responsibility to teach them correct use for tools within the classroom.” He added that schools are teaching about cellphones and how to use them with social media and the Internet.

“It is part of changing education for kids,” he said, “as long as we teach them to use them responsibly.”

The technology is here, Toth said, schools should use it to help students, and not fear it.

本文講述了不同地區(qū)的學(xué)校對(duì)于“學(xué)生在學(xué)校用手機(jī)”這一現(xiàn)象的看法，以及采取哪些措施來(lái)限制學(xué)生在學(xué)校使用手機(jī)。

【1】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)France passed a law in 2018 banning (禁止) the use of cellphones in schools for students up to age 15, the age when they go to high school，可知，法國(guó)在2018年頒布了一項(xiàng)法令，禁止15歲以下的學(xué)生在學(xué)校使用手機(jī)，15歲以后上高中可以在學(xué)校使用手機(jī)。故選B。

【2】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)The technology is here, Toth said, schools should use it to help students, and not fear it，可知，作者認(rèn)為老師和學(xué)校應(yīng)該正確面對(duì)學(xué)生在學(xué)校里用手機(jī)這個(gè)問題，并且要引導(dǎo)學(xué)生們?nèi)绾握�確地使用手機(jī)。故選D。

【3】

詞句猜測(cè)題。wild狂熱的；worried擔(dān)憂的；peaceful平靜的；anxious焦慮的。根據(jù)They wanted to provide a clean break for students and not have the frenetic energy that can happen if kids start texting each other or social-media posts start going，可知，老師們想給學(xué)生們提供一個(gè)干凈的休息時(shí)間，不想讓孩子們有那種互相發(fā)微信或社交媒體上發(fā)帖子的狂熱能量。由此可推斷，frenetic表示“狂熱的”，結(jié)合所給選項(xiàng)，與A選項(xiàng)詞義相符。故選A。

【4】

最佳標(biāo)題。通讀本文，可知，本文首先介紹了不同地區(qū)的學(xué)校如何對(duì)待學(xué)生在學(xué)校里用手機(jī)這個(gè)現(xiàn)象，后半部分作者引用其他人的話來(lái)發(fā)表自己對(duì)于這一現(xiàn)象的看法。全文都是圍繞“學(xué)生在學(xué)校使用手機(jī)”這一話題來(lái)展開描述，所以最適合本文的標(biāo)題是“學(xué)校應(yīng)該禁止使用手機(jī)嗎？”故選A。
