18.Like many other people,I love my smart phone,which keeps me connected with the larger world that can go anywhere with me.I also love my laptop,because it holds all of my writing and thoughts.In spite of this love of technology,I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices and truly communicate with others.
On occasion,I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers.My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas.Because I want students to thoroughly study the materials and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom,I have a rule-no laptop,iPads,phones,etc.When students were told my rule in advance of the class,some of them were not happy.
Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology.There's a bit of truth to that.Some students assume that I am anti-technology.There's no truth in that at all.I love technology and try to keep up with it,so I can relate to my students.
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas.Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas.I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas.I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course materials and the class discussion.
I've been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create.Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge,they learn at a level that helps them keep the course materials beyond the classroom.
I'm not saying that I won't ever change my mind about technology use in my history class,but until I hear a really good reason for the change,I'm sticking to my plan.A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.

分析 本文寫了一名歷史老師在上課期間禁止學生使用現(xiàn)在科技的電話,Ipads之類的東西,實踐證明得到了學生的認可.
解答 56.B 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)句子I have a rule-no laptop,iPads,phones,etc.When students were told my rule in advance of the class,some of them were not happy.我有一個規(guī)則沒有筆記本電腦、iPad、手機,當學生們告訴我的規(guī)則,在課前,他們中的一些人不高興.可見學生不喜歡我的規(guī)定,所以答案選B.
57.D 推理判斷題.根據(jù)句子the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create.Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge,they learn at a level that helps them keep the course materials beyond the classroom.些評價反映了學生對我所創(chuàng)造的環(huán)境的滿意.學生們意識到,通過深入的交談和挑戰(zhàn),他們可以在一定程度上學習,幫助他們把課程材料保留在課堂之外.由此可見學生對于老師的歷史課有著高度的評價,所以答案選D.
58.D 推理判斷題.根據(jù)句子I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas.I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course materials and the class discussion.我希望學生們深入挖掘自己的靈感和想法,我希望他們互相推動,以不同的方式思考,并在課程材料和課堂討論之間建立聯(lián)系.可以推斷出老師的目的是讓學生參與課堂,而技術(shù)的使用會禁止學生參與課堂活動,所以答案選D.
59.A 推理判斷題.根據(jù)句子:I'm sticking to my plan.A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.我堅持我的計劃.幾個小時的技術(shù)自由對話太棒了,不能放棄.可以推斷出作者還會繼續(xù)下去,所以答案選A.
點評 考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
