科目:初中英語 來源:2011屆重慶市西南師范大學(xué)附屬中學(xué)九年級第六次月考(英語) 題型:閱讀理解

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.
【小題1】The underlined word “critical” in the first paragraph probably has the same meaning as _______.

A.worryingB.dangerousC.happyD.important
【小題2】You are sure to find __________ in a paperless classroom.
A.pensB.computersC.test papersD.notebooks
【小題3】According to Judy Herrel, __________.
A.the Web can talk the students everywhere
B.the Web can take the place of teachers
C.the Web is a better tool for information
D.the Web is for downloading information
【小題4】The paper textbooks should still be widely available because __________.
A.students won’t have trouble with their pens
B.computers may break down sometimes
C.students may not get all information from the Internet
D.paper textbooks may give students more information
