Teachers say the digital (数字的) age has had a good and a not-so-good influence (影响) on the American teenagers. More than 2,000 high school teachers took an online survey.
40 percent of the teachers said the Internet and digital search tools have had a “mostly good” use for their students’ research habits and skills. But 35 percent agreed that these technologies “make the students not have enough attention.” And 25 percent said the technologies “do little to help them in courses.”
Judy Buchanan is a director of the National Writing Project. Ms. Buchanan says digital research tools are helping students learn more, and learn faster. Teachers really like these tools, because they are ways to make some of learning exciting. Young people enjoy using these tools. And the goal is to help them become creative students of meaningful work, and not just that kind of copyright.
But one problem the survey found is that many students don’t have a good understanding of how to use the digital knowledge well. In other words, they trust too much of the information. Judy Buchanan says these students have not developed the skills they need to tell whether the online information is good or bad.
Another problem the survey found is something that might not seem like a problem at all: being able to quickly find information online. Teachers say the capacity of their students to work hard to find answers is becoming weaker. They say students depend too much on search engines (引擎) and do not make enough use of printed books or research librarians.
Besides, many teachers are also worried about the problem that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by others, instead of using their own abilities.
48. How many teachers think the tools are useless for students according to the survey?
A. 2000 B. 800 C. 700 D. 500
49. Why do teachers like the digital search tools?
A. Because they can make some of learning exciting.
B. Because they can help students find answers easily.
C. Because they can tell whether the information is good or not.
D. Because they can help students copy the work done by others.
50. What does the underlined word “capacity” mean in the fifth paragraph?
A. theme. B. way. C. challenge. D. ability.
51. What does the writer want to tell us by writing this passage?
A. Many teachers are worried about the students’ abilities.
B. Students don’t know how to use the digital search tools.
C. Digital search tools have quite a lot of advantages.
D. Students should learn how to use the digital tools in a right way.
52. What’s the best title of this passage?
A. An online survey about digital age B. The problems of digital age
C. The introduction of digital age D. The changes of digital age
【答案】48. D 49. A 50. D 51. D 52. A
【解析】

Teachers say the digital (数字的) age has had a good and a not-so-good influence (影响) on the American teenagers. More than 2,000 high school teachers took an online survey.
40 percent of the teachers said the Internet and digital search tools have had a “mostly good” use for their students’ research habits and skills. But 35 percent agreed that these technologies “make the students not have enough attention.” And 25 percent said the technologies “do little to help them in courses.”
Judy Buchanan is a director of the National Writing Project. Ms. Buchanan says digital research tools are helping students learn more, and learn faster. Teachers really like these tools, because they are ways to make some of learning exciting. Young people enjoy using these tools. And the goal is to help them become creative students of meaningful work, and not just that kind of copyright.
But one problem the survey found is that many students don’t have a good understanding of how to use the digital knowledge well. In other words, they trust too much of the information. Judy Buchanan says these students have not developed the skills they need to tell whether the online information is good or bad.
Another problem the survey found is something that might not seem like a problem at all: being able to quickly find information online. Teachers say the capacity of their students to work hard to find answers is becoming weaker. They say students depend too much on search engines (引擎) and do not make enough use of printed books or research librarians.
Besides, many teachers are also worried about the problem that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by others, instead of using their own abilities.
48. How many teachers think the tools are useless for students according to the survey?
A. 2000 B. 800 C. 700 D. 500
49. Why do teachers like the digital search tools?
A. Because they can make some of learning exciting.
B. Because they can help students find answers easily.
C. Because they can tell whether the information is good or not.
D. Because they can help students copy the work done by others.
50. What does the underlined word “capacity” mean in the fifth paragraph?
A. theme. B. way. C. challenge. D. ability.
51. What does the writer want to tell us by writing this passage?
A. Many teachers are worried about the students’ abilities.
B. Students don’t know how to use the digital search tools.
C. Digital search tools have quite a lot of advantages.
D. Students should learn how to use the digital tools in a right way.
52. What’s the best title of this passage?
A. An online survey about digital age B. The problems of digital age
C. The introduction of digital age D. The changes of digital age
