14/27但最終他又說：“我以為讀傳統(tǒng)教材會(huì)了解得更加好.”為何呢？對(duì)于大學(xué)生來說，疲憊時(shí)候看電腦屏幕是困難，而且，看臉譜網(wǎng)(Facebook)、視頻網(wǎng)(YouTube)和電子郵件只是彈指一鍵事，所以也極難專注。15/27盡管很多問題正在或已經(jīng)處理，一些學(xué)生還沒完全準(zhǔn)備好將這些設(shè)備用于學(xué)習(xí)。有些教育教授認(rèn)為這種新技術(shù)帶來選擇可能會(huì)使學(xué)習(xí)變得更難而非更易。16/27原因可能就是人們對(duì)這技術(shù)不熟悉，還未普及。電子閱讀器在休閑閱讀市場(chǎng)已經(jīng)流行起來，而出版商進(jìn)入教育市場(chǎng)腳步卻還很慢。原因各種各樣，但出版商面臨一個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)就是，學(xué)習(xí)型閱讀比娛樂型閱讀要難。17/27“通常，讀小說能夠一口氣從頭讀到尾。看教材則要不停地翻前翻后，而且要翻很屢次?！?2歲馬特?利雷特說道.他是位于伊利諾斯州喬利埃特初級(jí)學(xué)院一名計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)專業(yè)生。18/27即便如此，人們對(duì)于電子閱覽技術(shù)應(yīng)用于大學(xué)期望依然很高。有些大學(xué)打算給大一新生發(fā)放iPad。加州大學(xué)歐文分校醫(yī)學(xué)院新生在近期開學(xué)儀式上，不但領(lǐng)了傳統(tǒng)白色衣袍，還領(lǐng)了iPad，里面已預(yù)先載入了第一年課程學(xué)習(xí)所需資料。19/27包含里德學(xué)院和北卡羅來納州大學(xué)在內(nèi)其它幾十所大學(xué)也計(jì)劃讓學(xué)生體驗(yàn)一下iPad。依據(jù)信息化校園計(jì)劃，三分之二大學(xué)里技術(shù)主管去年秋季預(yù)言說，電子讀物在5年之內(nèi)會(huì)成為“一個(gè)主要教學(xué)資源平臺(tái)”。20/27出版商們對(duì)于學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)也動(dòng)了大念頭呢。“那個(gè)發(fā)展前景很好?！苯逃Y料出版社——皮爾森學(xué)習(xí)方案集團(tuán)董事長(zhǎng)唐?橋本說。21/27可能不可防止地會(huì)出現(xiàn)更多缺點(diǎn)，不過技術(shù)發(fā)展“提供了一次真正改進(jìn)教育機(jī)會(huì)”，卡普蘭?奧爾森說，“未來幾年，電子教科書可能會(huì)變得活靈活現(xiàn)，且具備互動(dòng)性，非常值得關(guān)注?！?2/27PartA ExercisesTask4CompletethefollowingsentenceswiththewordsfromTask3.Changethewordformsifnecessary.1.Itseemstobethebest_________tothisproblem.2.Itisdifficultto________whatlifewillbelikeinthefuture.3.The__________ofhisvoicesentmetosleep.4.Thiscontestoffers__________aforthestudentstopracticetheirspeaking.5.Theengineerwhomwemetyesterdayhadworkedoutanewautomatic________.solutionpredictmonotonyplatformdevice23/27Task6Rewritethefollowingsentencesafterthemodels.1.Becausethegirlwasfrightenedbythenoise,shedidn’tdaretosleepinherroom.2.Whenthebabywaslefttoitselfintheroom,hebegantocry.3.Iftheseseedsaregrowninrichsoil,theycangrowfast.Frightenedbythenoise,thegirldidn’tdaretosleepinherroom.Lefttoitselfintheroom,thebabybegantocry.Growninrichsoil,theseseedscangrowfast.24/27Task6Rewritethefollowingsentencesafterthemodels.1.
