25、e Internet raises major issues and challenges for education, not just in China but all over the world. Yet it simply cannot be ignored in terms of the opportunities and resources that it can offer.We can divide the main issues facing education systems into three groupsaccess, quality and responsibil

26、ity. Let us consider the Internet in relation to each of them.First, access. Through the Internet, practically the whole world can be brought into your classroom. Using e-mail makes it possible to have a class whose members are spread all over the world and who may never meet either the teacher or e

27、ach other face to face. It can put students in different countries in easy contact.The information resources available are almost limitless. With the Internet, students and teachers can access the wisdom, experience, skills, and even guidance of others in a way that was only possible for a very priv

28、ileged few.Next, quality. The Internet does pose serious problems of quality for education systems. Obviously, there is a lot of material on the Internet that no one would want children or students to have uncontrolled access to, but there are other problems which are very difficult to solve.The fir

29、st is how to handle the sheer quantity of information available, and how to make it manageable.Because anyone can put information on the Internet, and there are no limits on quantity, it can be almost impossible to find exactly the information that one wants. Teachers and students cannot afford to w

30、aste time on unsuccessful searching.How can we identify the information which will be most useful without overloading ourselves and our students with unnecessary information? How do we select the best information from all that is available?This raises the issue of responsibility. There are few edito

31、rs or quality controllers on the Internet. The ultimate responsibility for selection and judgment falls to the user, whether teacher or student. Teachers, and still less students, are not experts in every field; what we select may not be what we really want, perhaps is old, even wrong.Any profession

32、 must take some collective responsibility in resolving these problems. Conscious and deliberate efforts have to be made to share information between teachers about useful sites and about the best way to use them.Those who have found something useful or of high quality should not keep the information

33、 to themselves, but share it as widely as possible.There are many professional discussion groups active on the Internet which aim to do this. Access to them by teachers should be actively encouraged. This will require investment by institutions in giving easy access to the Internet and email to all

34、teachers. Without this investment, educatorsand ultimately studentswill be deprived of a vital resource for the development of education in the future.（分数：5.00）(1).With which of the following statements would the author be least likely to agree? A.The Internet provides us with perfect educational in

35、formation. B.The Internet provides us with limitless resources. C.We can obtain the latest information from foreign countries through the Interact. D.The information on the Internet is no longer available only for a few people.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The authors attitude towards a large quantity of inf

36、ormation on the net is A.satisfied. B.indifferent. C.furious. D.worried.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The text implies that A.professional people should pick out proper information from the Internet for schools. B.professional people should instruct teachers and students to use the Interact. C.educators shou

37、ld be active in using computer. D.educators should have their own email address.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The word “institutions“ (Para. 12) here probably refers to A.communities. B.governments. C.schools. D.researching groups.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).What is mainly discussed in the text? A.The on-line infor

38、mation for school teaching. B.Some problems of the Internet use. C.Who is responsible for the Internet safety. D.How to evaluate the on-line resources.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.九、BPassage 2/B(总题数：1，分数：5.00)A parent with a child carrying a musical instrument or a drawing board walking along a Beijing subway p

39、latform or street is a familiar sight on weekends. They are on the way to training schools.Education of their children has become the most important responsibility of parents who were sent to rural areas for “re-education“ during the “Cultural Revolution“ from 1966 to 1976.They lost the chance for u

40、niversity education and now hope their children can receive a better education than they did. As a result, these people now in their forties expose their little children to early training so that they can enter a prestigious school.The parents imagine a road to success: from excellent primary and mi

41、ddle schools to an elite university and then to a good job. On average, they may spend about 100 yuan a month on their childrens education.And what results have these parents obtained?Most of them feel that the large investment has failed to lead to rapid progress in their childrens study. “We seem

42、to be throwing our money away,“ said one parent.However, many parents still think that spending more on their childrens schooling will result in high scores. These parents have also introduced a “contract system“, which offers rewards for good school grades. More than 80% of parents in families in C

43、hengdu have signed contracts with their children, according to the Consumers Times. The paper notes that the heavy pressure put on children to perform well at school has resulted in a decline in childrens health.The parents investment in their children also includes hiring tutors. A survey of 250 st

44、udents in Xuzhou found that 10% of their parents hired tutors. The pay for one tutorial hour is three yuan.Liberation Daily commented that these parents have too high expectations of their children. According to the article, “They are trying to help the young plants grow by pulling them upwards.“ Th
