CTeachers say that the digital age has had a good influence and a not-so-good influence on American teenagers. More than 2,000 mi

20、ddle school teachers took an online survey. Researchers also spoke with teachers in some groups. Most teachers think the Internet and digital search tools have had amostly positive (积极的) influence on their students research habits and skills. But at the same time, some teachers also point out some p

21、roblems in teenagers using digital search tools.The Pew Internet Project did the survey with the College Board and the National Writing Project. Judy Buchanan is the director of the National Writing Project and a co-writer of the report. She says digital research tools are helping students learn mor

22、e, and learn faster. “Both teachers and students really welcome these tools because they make learning exciting. And the goal（目的）is to really help students become creators of something meaningful, and not just users of the online information.”But one problem the survey found is that these technologi

23、es make teenagers have short attention spans (持续时间). As there is lots of information about different subjects on the Internet, teenagers attention is easily drawn away from their research. Another problem the survey found is that many students trust the information they find on the Internet too much

24、. Judy Buchanan says these students have not developed the skills to judge (判断) the online information. They need to learn a lot to tell if the information is believable. Its something that really has to be paid attention to.One more problem the survey found is something that might not seem like a p

25、roblem at all: being able to quickly find information online. Many students think “doing research” now means just doing a quick search on Google. Teachers say the result is a drop in the wish and ability of their students to work hard to find answers. That is, they are depending too much on search e

29、assage mainly tells us _.A. all the students like using digital toolsB. the Internet is playing an important roleC. teachers encourage their students to use digital toolsD. digital tools bring about something helpful and problemsDThere are some very good inventions which, for one reason or another,

30、dont become popular. These inventions should be better known, even though I think that some of them are crazy. Lets have a look at some of these inventions and see if you agree that they should be more successful.The Australians had a great idea to stop people from drinking and driving. The idea was

31、 that if a driver wanted to start the car, she or he would have to blow into a bag first. If there was too much alcohol (酒精) in their breath, the car wouldnt start. It sounded like a great idea to me, but people said that they might need to drive the car in an emergency (紧急情况) even if they had drunk

32、 too much alcohol. Another idea I liked was an invention by a scientist who thought his children watched too much TV. He connected the TV to an exercise bike so that the electricity to power the TV was produced by the bike. If the children wanted to watch a lot of TV, they had to pedal (踩动) very har

33、d. I found another invention on the Internet which encouraged good habits. Believe it or not, this invention was an ashtray (烟灰缸) which spoke to you when you lit a cigarette! The “voice” of the ashtray was started by the heat from the cigarette and reminded you how dangerous it is to smoke.One of th

34、e strangest inventions I have come across is a bicycle which can cross rivers! The idea was that when you came to a river, you could inflate a huge plastic ball all around the bike. You would then get into the ball which would float on the river while you pedaled the bike inside the ball! Why not us

35、e a bridge instead? A friend of mine at school once bought a strange pair of football shoes. On the bottom of the shoes there was a rotating pad of studs (转动钉垫). The idea was that you would change direction more quickly if the studs rotated(旋转) with you. The problem was that every time you stopped y

36、ou changed direction whether you wanted to or not! I think he wore those shoes twice! One thing I would like is a baseball cap with a built-in radio so you can listen to sport all day with your hands free. While we are on the subject of sport, the Americans invented a kind of robot for sports fans.

37、If you were watching your team on TV on your own, you could press a button and the robot would do “high fives” with you! Fantastic! I wonder if you have any good ideas for inventions like these.32. Whats the writers attitude towards the inventions mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. The writer regrets he k

38、new nothing about the inventions.B. The writer doubts if the inventions will be popular soon.C. The writer thinks these inventions will do good to people.D. The writer finds these inventions are the strangest of all.33. What can we know from the passage? A. The father used his invention to stop chil

39、dren watching too much TV.B. It was very bad for the drivers to blow into a bag before their driving.C. The bike crossing rivers was considered one of the best inventions.D. The invention of new shoes would make players run much faster.34. The underlined word “inflate” in the third paragraph means _

40、. A. check out B. blow upC. look into D. turn over35. Whats the best title for the passage? A. Popular Inventions TodayB. Technology and InventionC. Inventions with a Difference D.
