Question

Can you imagine a classroom without one thing that has long been considered a necessary part? No notebooks, no textbooks, no test papers. Nor are there any pencils or pens, which always seem to run out of ink at the critical moment.
A “Paperless classroom” is what more and more schools are trying to realize. Students don’t do any handwriting in this class. Instead, they use hand-sized or specially-designed computers. The teacher downloads texts from Internet libraries and sends them to every student’s personal computer.
Having computers also means that students can use the Web. They can look up information on any subject they’re studying, from maths to social science.
A high school teacher, Judy Herrel in Florida, US, described how her class used the Web. “Using a book that’s three or four years old is impossible,” she said.
A paperless classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper.
“Think about the money and trees we could save with the computers,” she said.
But, with all this technology, there’s always a risk that the machines will break down. So, in case of a power failure or a technical problem, paper textbooks should still be widely available (可得到的) for these students

Answer 1

DBCB
1.第一段最后一句為which always seem to run out of ink at the critical moment.所表示的含義為應(yīng)該為似乎總是在最關(guān)鍵的時候用完了墨水，所以critical單詞的意思最接近重要的意思，故本題選D。
2.本文第二段第二句為they use hand-sized or specially-designed computers.所表示的含義為在無紙的課堂需要電腦，故本題選B。
3.本文第三段第一句為Having computers also means that students can use the Web. They can look up information on any subject they’re studying,所表示的含義為所表示的含義為網(wǎng)頁為我們查找有關(guān)學(xué)習(xí)的信息提供了更好的工具，故本題選C。
4.本文最后一段提到電腦有時會被摔壞，所以紙課本應(yīng)該仍然被廣泛的使用，故本題選B。
