2014高考英语阅读理解基础精品练习题（6）及答案 (201*北京卷，c)students and technology in the classroomi love my blackberryits my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. i also love my laptop computer，as it holds all of my writing and thoughts.despite this love of technology, i know that there are times when i need to move away from these device(设备) 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 material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom，i have a ruleno laptops, 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. theres a bit of truth to that.some students assume that i am antitechnology. theres 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 conversations 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 to make connections between course material and the class discussion.ive 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 material beyond the classroom.im not saying that i wont ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until i hear a really good reason for the change，im sticking to my plan. a few hours of technologyfree dialogue is just too sweet to give up.本文是一篇议论文。作者是一位老师，非常喜欢高科技产品，但是为了让他的学生在课堂上讨论历史话题、互相交流观点，他规定在课堂上学生不允许使用手提电脑、ipads及电话。刚开始学生不能理解，但是后来在对学生的学习评估中，学生对这一方法还是非常满意的。9some of the students in the history class were unhappy with _.a. the

researching something with so few apparent benefits? why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on earth? these are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup(基因构成) as human beings. what drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? the wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. with knowledge, we can lessen its effects.exploration also allows minerals and other potential(潜在的) resources to be found. even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. resources may be more than physical possessions. knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. the techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. we have already benefited from other spinoffs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. even nonstick pans and mirrored sunglasses are byproducts(副产品) of technological developments in the space industry!while many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. while space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. the danger exists, but knowledge can help human beings to survive. without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.while earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. it is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cul
