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

teacher，but it is not a particulary good teacher.” you might think that winston churchill or perhaps mark twain spoke those words, but they actually come from james march, a professor at stanford university and a pioneer in the field of organizational decision making. for years march( possibly the wisest philosopher of management) has studied how humans think and act，and he continues to do so in his new book the ambiguities of experience.he begins by reminding us of just how firmly we have been sticking to the idea of experiential learning ：“experience is respected；experience is sought；experience is explained.”the problem is that learning from experience involves(涉及) serious complications (复杂化)，ones that are part of the nature of experience itself and which march discusses in the body of this book.in one interesting part of the book，for example, he turns a doubtful eye toward the use of stories as the most effective way of experiential learning. in our efforts to make stories interesting, he argues, we lose part of the complicated truth of things. he says“the more accurately(精确地)reality is presented，the less understandable the story，and the more understandable the story，the less realistic it is.”besides being a broadly knowledgeable researcher, march is also a poet, and his gift shines through in the depth of views he offers and the simple language he uses. though the book is short, it is demanding：dont pick it up looking for quick, easy lessons. rather, be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life.多年来，人们强调经验型学习。而一位名叫james mark的却说：经验可能是最好的老师，却不是一个特别好的老师。通过对于经验型学习，本文介绍了james mark的关于经验的书。13according to the text, james march is _.aa poet who uses experience in his writingba teacher who teaches story writing in universityca researcher who studies the way humans think and actda professor who helps organizations make important decisions答案：c。细节判断题。从第一个段落中最后一句话里可以找到信息句，即同选项c所说的一致。14according to james march, experience _.ais overvalued bis easy to explaincshould be actively soughtdshould be highly respected答案：a推理判断题。从文章的开头以及文中的字里行间“the problem is.” “turn a doubtful eye on.” 以及“think deeply about experience learning”等可以推测出james 对于经验学习持怀疑态度，认为人们太过于重视经验学习这一方式了。15what can we learn from paragraph 3?aexperience makes stories more accurate.bstories made interesting fail to fully present the truth.cthe use of stories is the best way of experiential learning.dstories are easier to understand when reality is more accurately described.答案：b。细节判断题。在倒数第二段中，james所说的话中“to make stories more interesting, we lose part of the complicated truth of things”就表明了故事越有趣，就越没有真实感，同选项b所说。16whats the purpose of this text?ato introduce a book.bto describe a researcher.cto explain experiential learning.dto discuss organizational decision making.答案：a。作者意图判断题。纵观全文，作者一直都在围绕着一本书，在阐述关于本书中的内容以及本书作者的观点等，故选a。 (2011湖北卷，e)which are you more likely to have with you at any given momentyour cellphone or your wallet? soon you may be able to throw your wallet away and pay for things with a quick wave of your smart phone over an electronic scanner.in january，starbucks announced that customers could start using their phones to buy coffee in 6,800 of its stores.this is the first paybyphone practice in the us.，but were likely to see more wireless payment alternatives as something called near field

allows shoppers to wave their phones a few inches above a payment terminala contactfree system built for speed and convenience.but before nfc becomes widely adopted in the us.，a few problems need to be worked out，like who will get to collect the profitable transaction(交易)fees.although some credit card providers have been experimenting with waveandpay systems that use nfcenabled credit cards，cellphone service providers may try to muscle their way into the pointofsale (pos)market.three big cellphone service providers have formed a joint venture(合资企业)that will go into operation over the next 15 months.its goal is“to lead the us. payments industry from cards to mobile phone.”the other big nfc issue，apart from how payments will be processed，is security.for instance，whats to stop a thief from digitally pickpocketing you? “were still not at the point where an attacker can just brush against you in a crowd and steal all the money out of your phone，”says jimmy shah，a mobile security researcher，“users may also be able to set transaction limits，perhaps requiring a password to be entered for larger purchases.”still uneasy about thi
