according to the uks department of education and skills, students will teach themselves in the schools of the future. this means that there will be no more problems such as finding enough teachers. estelle morris, the uk education secretary, opened the 2002 education technology conference in london recently. to start the conference, she presented a video showing a computergenerated model of the school of tomorrow. greater use of computer technology and classroom assistants will help students develop their own way of learning, morris said. she added that this is a more exciting as well as a more interesting way of learning. at the same time, teachers will be “freed from their traditional role as the source of all knowledge”. children of all abilities will “form the curriculum(课程)around their individual needs.” they will “learn in their own time, at their own speed and in their own environment”. at home or at school, they will follow their learning programmes by looking at online libraries and watching lessons by world-class teachers and subject experts. instead of going on field trips, students will use virtual reality. if they dont understand something, they can ask other students“take part in virtual communities with learners with similar needs”or e-mail their teachers. they will hand in their work electronically to be “auto-marked”. the classroom of the future is fast becoming a reality. and the department of education will soon produce a guide to help schools adapt buildings for new technology, morris said. these ideas are based on the uk governments plan to create an education system that provides students with a strong grounding of knowledge and skills at primary school level. and provides the chance for students to develop their individual skills at secondary school level.36. according to the uks department of education and skills, the school of the future will _.a. cause more problems such as being able to find enough teachersb. set no homework and no tests for studentsc. make good use of the computer technology and classroom assistantsd. enable students to learn by themselves without teachers提示:依据第一段最后一句排除a项；依据第七段最后一句排除b项；第七段说如果学生有问题，可向老师发e-mail，因而不可说without teachers，排除d项。c项与第三段内容一致，故为正确答案。答案:c37. estelle morris thinks that computer technology does good to teachers in _.a. helping students develop their own way of learningb. enabling students to experience interesting and exciting ways of learningc. providing students with knowledge of all sortsd. not being considered the source of various knowledge提示:依据第四段判断正确答案为d项。答案:d38. if the students do not understand something, they can _.a. go on a field tripb. go to ask their teachers to help themc. send e-mail to ask for a teachers helpd. have a look at other learners homework答案:c 依据第七段“or e-mail their teachers”39. if s a student is under the uks newly-developed education system,he will be _.a. provided with a basic knowledge from the beginningb. given more knowledge at primary school levelc. helped to use computers betterd. supplied chance to develop their basic skills答案: a 依据最后一段“that provides students with a strong grounding of knowledge and skills at primary school level”阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c、d）中，选出最佳选项。lots of people have hobbies. some people collect old coins or foreign stamps; some do needlework; others spend most of their spare time on a particular sport.a lot of people enjoy reading. but reading tastes differ widely. some people only read newspapers or comics, some like reading novels, while others prefer books on astronomy, wildlife, or technological discoveries.if i happen to be interested in horses or precious stones, i cannot expect everyone else to share my enthusiasm. if i watch all the sports programs on tv with great pleasure, i must put up with the fact that other people find sports boring.is there nothing that interests us all?
