Professors had been writing down their lectures, and students had been keeping notes after their teachers. Goose feathers and parchment (羊皮纸) changed
2、to ballpoint pens and paper, but the essence has remained the same: knowledge passed down from one person to another must be thoroughly recorded. With the emergence and development of mobile technologies such as laptops and smartphones, using conventional methods is gradually becoming obsolete (废弃的)
3、. Students tend to use laptops in class more often than pens and paper. And although there are still many educational institutions that ban using computers in class, there are many arguments in favor of doing so. On the one hand, let us face the reality: people do not write as much today as they use
4、d to several years ago. This is especially true in the case of the youth: teenagers and young adults tend to feel more confident and comfortable typing on their devices rather than with handwriting. Keeping records after a teacher in class requires a student to write very fast, which often decreases
5、 the readability of the notes taken. Sometimes it can be quite difficult for a student to understand what he or she hurriedly wrote down in class. At the same time, typing on a laptop helps write the important information down in a comprehensible and accurate way. Also, handwriting always involves g
6、rammatical mistakes, typos, blot (墨水迹), and so on. Obviously, students experience little-to-none of such problems while using computers. On the other hand, technology is something youth nowadays have got so accustomed to that without it, they operate less efficiently. Students are native to such dev
7、ices as smartphones, laptops, tablets, and other gadgets, and naturally incorporate them in whatever they do, be it leisure time or studying. Not allowing students to use tablets in class means depriving (剥夺) them of something that is almost a part of them and of their daily lives. If young people k

9、 tablet, streaming movies, catching up on work or maybe answering emails on their smartphones. Meanwhile, one child is chatting online with one school friend while texting another. The other is playing a video game with a friend on the other side of the city at the same time. Each member of the fami
10、ly is totally absorbed in his or her own piece of technology. According to some experts, the effect of technology on human relationships is worrying as technology becomes a substitute for face-to-face human relationships. It appears to be the case that many people would much rather spend time with t
11、heir electronic gadgets (电子产品) than with one another. Young people say it is difficult to get their parents attention and they have to compete with smartphones, tablets and other technology. However, a report from the Pew Internet and American Life Project offers a more helpful and encouraging view,
12、 suggesting that far from replacing human contact, technology can actually better family relationships. Just over half of the 2,253 people surveyed agreed that technology had enabled them to increase their contact with distant family members and 47 percent said it had improved the communication with
13、 the people they lived with. Moreover, even the closest members of families need time away from each other at some point to seek their own interests. Family members who might otherwise have sat in separate rooms can now be in the same one while still occupying a different mental space. Look back at
14、our typical family scene above. Is it any different from four people reading their own books? Or is it driving families apart? Where technology will lead us remains to be seen. Yet there is no need to worry. As a matter of fact, how it affects our family relationships depends on our attitude toward
15、technology. _ _ _ _ _ 8.阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。 Nowadays, more and more college students have no problem walking into a classroom and opening their laptops. Others may spend an entire study period with a smartphone in hand. Some people argue that the increasing use of technology can have many h
16、elpful effects on society. But a recent research suggests that using technology during class time may harm college students ability to remember and process the subject material. Arnold Glass, a professor in Rutgers University in New Jersey, and a student researcher investigated the issue of divided
17、student attention. The study involved 118 Rutgers students who were taking the same level college class. The students were permitted to use any electronic device during half of their daily class periods. During the other half, no one was allowed to use any technology. The researchers found that the
18、average daily quiz results showed no evidence of harmful effects from the use of technology. However, the average results of the larger tests and final exam showed that all the students performed poorly when they were permitted to use technology in the classroom. Glass argues that it shows the use o
19、f electronic devices in the classroom prevents students from processing information. When the students hear what the professor is saying, they might be buying things online or reading unrelated emails at the same time. And that, Glass says, makes it harder for the information to enter their long ter
20、m memory. Even though the students know what the professor said at that time, they no longer remember it a week later because they missed the opportunity. However, Lauren Margulieux, an assistant professor at Georgia State University in Atlanta argues that there are times when classroom use of techn
21、ology is unavoidable. So, he says, educators need to consider that something other than technology is distracting students. In fact, a special software program has been created. Students can use the program, which engages students more with the class material on their personal devices during a given
22、 class. It can also be used to observe student activity and prevent them from opening unrelated pages and programs. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9.阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。 Among all the fast growing science and technology,the research of human genes,or biological engineering as people call it,is drawing more a
23、nd more attention now.Discussions about it are increasingly heated around the world. The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with,such as cancer and heart disease.Every year,millions of people are murdered by these two
24、killers.And to date,doctors have not found an effective way to cure them.But if the gene technology is applied,not only these two diseases can be cured completely,bringing happiness and more living days to the patients.but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be s
25、aved.Therefore,it benefits the economy as well.In addition,human life span(寿命)can be prolonged. Some families have genetic diseases.This means their children will for sure have the family disease,which is a great trouble for these families.Gene technology can help people give birth to more healthy a
26、nd clever children.In the past,doctors could do nothing about genetic diseases.But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly.Scientists just need to find the wrong gene and correct it,and a healthy child will be born. Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to create human
27、 beings in large quantities.In the past few years,scientists have succeeded in cloning animals such as mice,sheep,and dogs.Therefore,these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned and that it would be beyond control,leading to some disastrous consequences.But many believe that cloned ba

30、 profession of teaching soon have to compete against powerful electronic educators? At first glance,teaching might seem to be unaffected to replacement by robots.Teachers use a range of soft skills that machines find hard to replicate.They judge pupils needs and adapt feedback accordingly.They adapt
31、 materials to make them more attractive and effective.And they provide pastoral care:looking out for students who lag behind or disrupt the class. Nonetheless,some believe the future of education will be technological.In an interview with Business Insider magazine,futurist Thomas Frey predicts that
32、“by 2030 the largest company on the Internet is going to be an education-based company that we havent heard of yet.” He thinks that “bots”online robot teacherswill make education so efficient that students will be able to compress an entire undergraduate degree into six months of learning.A bot lear

Whether or not such incredible speeds will be reached,over the last decade there has been a huge increase in online learning platforms.Companies such as U
34、demy and Khan Academy produce courses that allow millions to learn at home for free at their own pace.But there are limitations.Without the face-to-face stimulation of a classroom environment,the overwhelming majority of students fail to complete online courses.How to sustain motivation to learn is
35、one more skill that online teachers will need to master. Indeed,Frey admits there is some way to go:“Nobody has quite cracked the code for the future of education.”What do teachers themselves think about this?Professor Donald Clark from Derby University in the UK thinks that we should welcome change
