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

everybody has the capacity to be self sufficient and all we have to do is to activate（激励）them. i asked the country to pick up a group of people who were on public welfare, people from different racial groups and different family groups. i would then see them as a group for three hours every friday. i also asked for a little petty cash to work with, as i needed it.the first thing i said after i shook hands with everybody was, “id like to know what your dreams are.” everyone looked at me as if i were kind of fool.one woman said to me, “i dont know what you can do with dreams. the rats are eating up my kids.”“oh,” i said, “thats terrible. no, of course, you are very much involved with the rats and your kids. how can that be helped?”“well, i could use a new screen door because there are holes in my screen door.” i asked, “is there anybody around here who know how to fix a screen door?”there was a man in the group and he said, “a long time ago i used to do things like that but now i have a terribly bad back, but ill try.”i told him i had some money if he would go to the store and but some screening and go and fix the ladys screen door. “do you think you can do that?”“yes, ill try.”the next week, when the group was seated. i said to the woman, “well, is your screen door fixed?”“oh, yes.” she said.“then we can start dreaming, cant we?” she sort of smiled at me.i said to the man who did the work, “how do you feel?”he said, “well, you know, its very funny thing. im beginning to feel a lot better.”that helped the group to begin to dream. these seemingly small successes allowed the group to see that dreams were not insane. these small steps began to get people to see and feel that something really could happen.everyone found something. the man who put in the screen door became a handyman. in 12 weeks, i had all those people off public welfare. ive not only done that once, ive done that in many times.50whats the opinion the author had when he took on the work? apeople need to be activated by others to make a living.beveryone should not have depended on public welfare.ceveryone has the ability to live on without getting public welfare.dthe county should gather people from different racial groups together.51which of the following statements is true according to the passage?athe author did the work at his own expense.bthe people the author worked with

big that they eat the children.bthe rats are crazy and have the children as food.cthe rats are giving the kids and the mother much trouble.dthe kids are too weak and even are nearly eaten by the rats.53what are the last two paragraphs mainly about? aanything in the would is difficult. bsmall success can be parts of your dream.ci have had those people off public welfare.dyour dream comes before it becomes a reality.【参考答案】50-53: cccd 阅读理解-cpost login register supportsourcing assistant neededposted on: sunday, 28 march, 2010, 17:27expires on: monday, 27 september, 2010, 17:237indian
