Students and Technology in the Classroom
I love my Blackberry—it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me．I also love my laptop computer，as 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 devices(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 rule—no 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．There’s a bit of truth to that．Some students assume that I am anti­technology．There’s 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 the course material and the class discussion．
I’ve 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．
I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class，but until I hear a really good reason for the change，I’m sticking to my plan．A few hours of technology­free dialogue is just too sweet to give up．1．Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with ________．A．the course material
B．others’ misuse of techno logy
C．discussion topics
D．the author’s class regulations
2．The underlined word “engage〞 in Para．4 probably means ________．
A．explore B．accept
C．change D．reject
3．According to the author，the use of technology in the classroom may ________．A．keep students from doing independent thinking
B．encourage students to have in­depth conversations
C．help students to better understand complex themes
D．affect students’ concentration on course evaluation
4．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ________．
A．is quite stubborn
B．will give up teaching history
C．will change his teaching plan soon
D．values technology­free dialogues in his class

B
(2021·卷·E)George Prochnik would like the world to_put_a_sock_in_it．He makes his case in a new book，Listening for Meaning in a World of Noise．Here he explains himself (using his indoor voice)：
“We’ve become so accustomed to noise，there’s almost a deep prejudice against the idea that silence might be beneficial．If you tell someone to be quiet，you sound like an old man．But it’s never been more important to find continuing quiet．Silence focuses us，improves our health，and is a key to lasting peace and satisfaction．〞“We need to excite people about the sounds you start to hear if you merely quiet things down a little．During a Japanese tea ceremony，the smallest sounds become a kind of art—the spoons making a light ringing sound on a bowl，the edges of a kimono (和服) brushing against the floor．〞
“Deaf people are very attentive (专注的) in almost every aspect of life．If two deaf people are walking together，using sign language，they constantly watch out for each other and protect each other by paying steady attention to the other．They are connected yet also fully aware of their surroundings．Even deaf teenagers! We in the hearing world can learn from them．If we remove the powerful blasts (一阵阵) of noise，we become aware of an extraordinarily rich world around us—of little soft sounds and the sound of footsteps，of bird songs and ice cracking (开裂声)．It’s astonishing how beautiful things sound when you can really listen．〞1．What does the phrase “to put a sock in it〞 in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．To be quiet．
B．To be colorful．
C．To be full of love．
D．To be attentive to someone．
2．What does Prochnik say about us?
A．We are used to quietness．
B．We have to put up with noise．
C．We do not think silence to be beneficial．
D．We do not believe lasting peace to be available．
3．Which of the following is TRUE according to Prochnik?
A．We need more sounds in our lives．
B．There is nothing to be learned from the deaf．
C．We are not aware how rich the world around us is．
D．There is too much noise at a Japanese tea ceremony．
4．It can be inferred from the text that ________．
A．we can benefit a lot from old people
B．it is a good idea to use sign language
C．there is no escape from the world of sound
D．it is possible to find how beautiful things sound
