C A recent report from a United Nations group warns that using technology in classes may not help as much as many people believe.It says that technology can be helpful,but it shouldn't be the focus ) Instead,technology should be used to support learning."Too much attention on technology in education usually comes at a high cost,"the report says. Technology changes so fast that it's hard to study how it really influences students.The new report says that many of the studies showing that technology helps students come from rich countries and that some of the studies supporting technology come from companies that sell technology to schools. As classes moved online,the use of technology in education grew even more quickly.Many students were forced to study at home,using video calls to communicate with their teachers.But the report points out that around 500 million students were unable to take part in online classes.That's a larger problem. People and countries with less money are often left out. 初三英语第3页共8页 It is true that technology can help in many ways,like allowing students to learn in more interesting ways,helping teachers explain difficult ideas and helping students with special needs.But it can also be very distracting(分散注意力的).When students use phones in class,it can disturb(扰乱)their learning. One study that was carried out in 14 countries showed that even just having a smartphone(智能手机) nearby can be distracting.Even so,only less than 25%of the world's countries don't allow students to use phones in schools. The report suggests that the best way to learn is still to work closely with teachers.Working with other classmates also helps students leam.Most schools should spend more money on things like books, classrooms,and teachers. 18.How many students couldn't join online classes,as mentioned in the report? A.100 million. B.250 million. C.500 million. D.I billion. 19.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

C.About 25%of the countries don't allow students to use phones in schools. D.It's necessary to spend more money on technology than on school things 20.What is the best title for the passage? A.Countries Work Together to Improve Education B.Technology Plays an Important Role in Our Life C.Smartphones Help Students a Lot in Online Learning D.A UN Group Calls for Limit on Technology in Schools 21.The passage would most probably appear in a section called A.“Educational Research” B."Technology News” C.“Sports Highlights'” D."Travel Guide" D Laurie had just come home from school when she heard a light hammering (sound coming from Grandpa's study.Curious,she tapped on the door."Grandpa?Can I come in?" "Just a second!"Grandpa answered.Laurie heard lots of shuffling (拖着脚走).“Enter! Grandpa was sitting empty-handed at his desk,but there were wood shavings(刨花)everywhere.“Aren't you supposed to be at school?"he asked. "It's over at three.What were you doing in here?"Laurie said curiously.She saw something wooden underneath a book."Aha!"she cried,pulling the object out."What's this?" "Well,that's your birthday gift.But now it won't be a surprise,"Grandpa said It was a wooden crocodile (with a string (on the top of its head so the mouth could be opened and shut. "It's an ancient Egyptian (toy,"Grandpa said."I made this,but if you were a child in ancient Egypt,you might have something similar.Crocodiles were an important part of Egyptian life,and many 初三英语第4页共8页 crocodiles lived in the Nile River. "The Egyptians depended on the Nile River for many things.It flooded every year,giving much-needed water and nutrients (to the land.This made farming easy for the Egyptians.The soft, wet land also made good mud (E)for building mud-brick houses. "And the river provided the people of the area with a convenient highway for transportation and communication.” "Ancient Egypt was an agricultural society.If you were a little Egyptian girl living about four thousand years ago,your father would probably be a grain farmer.Grains were the most common crop, especially wheat and barley,which were used to make bread and beer-the most typical food and drink." "Unluckily,children didn't go to school like you do now.You'd probably spend most days helping your parents.During the harvest season maybe you would bundle()wheat up on the farm.Or perhaps you'd be at home,helping to cook or take care of the vegetable garden near your house." Just then,Mom called from downstairs,"Laurie!I'm home!" “Hi,Mom!I'll be right down!"Laurie said.“Thanks,Grandpa.I'Il pretend(假装)I never saw this,” she said,putting the crocodile back on the desk."Until next time!" “Until next time!Bye,Laurie!” ---Adapted from Grandpa's World History 22.Grandpa answered "Just a second!"because he wanted to A.clean the floor B.look for a book for kids C.hide the wooden crocodile D.tell a story about ancient Egypt 23.Which is NOT true about ancient Egyptian children?
