Today's college students may not simply sit in a lecture or a<br /> library to learn about their field. Through their computers and the wonders of virtual reality<br /> they can participate in lifelike simulated experiences. Consider the following scenario of<br /> the future of education made possible through developments in information technology.<br /> For children over the age of 10, daily attendance at schools is not compulsory. Some<br /> of the older children attend school only once or twice weekly to get tutorial support or<br /> instruction from a teacher. For the most part, pupils are encouraged to work online from<br /> home. Students must complete a minimum number of study hours per year; however, they<br /> may make up these hours by studying at home at times that suit their family schedule. They<br /> can log on early or late in the day and even join live classes in other countries. In order to<br /> ensure that each student is learning adequately, computer software will automatically<br /> monitor the number of hours a week each student studies on-line as well as that students'<br /> learning materials and assessment activities. Reports will be available for parents and<br /> teachers. The software can then identify the best learning activities and condition for each<br /> individual student and generate similar activities. It can also identify areas of weak<br /> achievement and produce special programs adjusted to the students' needs.<br /> Question 36: How many times are children who are older than 10 required to go to school<br /> weekly?<br /> A. notime<br /> B. three times<br /> C. four times<br /> D. once or twice<br /> Question 37: What is NOT MENTIONED as a benefit of information technology to the<br /> students?<br /> A. Students' learning time won't be monitored<br /> B. Students' weak achievement can be identified.<br /> C. Students can learn at times that suit their schedule<br /> D. Students can stay at home to learn<br /> Question 38: What CAN'T the software do?<br /> A. Monitor the time the students learn<br /> B. Find out the best activities for the students<br /> C. Identify weaknesses of the students<br /> D. Design materials for the students<br /> Question 39: What is the topic of the passage?<br /> A. The effect of information technology on education<br /> B. Computer software will make sure students learn at home<br /> C. Students can know about their weak aspects to focus.<br /> D. students don't have to go to school any more<br /> Question 40: Who/What counts the number of hours per week that students spend learning?<br /> A. Parents<br /> B. Teacher C. Computer software<br /> D. Virtual reality<br /> Question 41: The word adequately in the passage mostly means_______.<br /> A. suficiently<br /> B. significantly<br /> C. consequently<br /> D. Suitably<br /> Question 42: The word encouraged in the passage mostly means_________.<br /> A. Suggested<br /> B. Allowed<br /> C. Permitted<br /> D. Stimulated<br /> <br /> Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet<br /> to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.<br /> We live in a world of tired, sleep deprived people. In his book Counting Sheep, Paul Martin<br /> – a behavioural biologist – describes a society which is just too busy to sleep and which<br /> does not give sleeping the importance it deserves.<br /> Modern society has invented reasons not to sleep. We are now a 24/7 society where<br /> shops and services must be available all hours. We spend longer hours at work than we used<br /> to, and more time getting to work. Mobile phones and email allow us to stay in touch round<br /> the clock and late-night TV and the Internet tempt us away from our beds. When we need<br /> more time for work or pleasure, the easy solution is to sleep less. The average adult sleeps<br /> only 6.2 hours a night during the week, whereas research shows that most people need eight<br /> or even eight and a half hours’ sleep to feel at their best. Nowadays, many people have got<br /> used to sleeping less than they need and they live in an almost permanent state of ‘sleep<br /> debt’.<br /> Until the invention of the electric light in 1879 our daily cycle of sleep used to depend<br /> on the hours of daylight. People would get up with the sun and go to bed at nightfall. But<br /> nowadays our hours of sleep are mainly determined by our working hours (or our social<br /> life) and most people are woken up artificially by an alarm clock. During the day caffeine,<br /> the world’s most popular drug, helps to keep us awake. 75% of the world’s population<br /> habitually consume caffeine, which up to a point masks the symptoms of sleep deprivation.<br /> What does a chronic lack of sleep do to us? As well as making us irritable and unhappy<br /> as humans, it also reduces our motivation and ability to work. This has serious implications<br /> for society in general. Doctors, for example, are often chronically sleep deprived, especially<br /> when they are on ‘night call’, and may get less than three hours’ sleep. Lack of sleep can<br /> seriously impair their mood, judgment, and ability to take decisions. Tired engineers, in the<br /> early hours of the morning, made a series of mistakes with catastrophic results. On our<br /> roads and motorways lack of sleep kills thousands of people every year. Tests show that a<br /> tired driver can be just as dangerous as a drunken driver. However, driving when drunk is<br /> against the law but driving when exhausted isn’t. As Paul Martin says, it is very ironic that<br /> we admire people who function on very little sleep instead of criticizing them for being<br /> irresponsible. Our world would be a much safer, happier place if everyone, whatever their<br /> job, slept eight hours a night.<br /> New English File Upper-intermediate by Clive Oxenden and Christina Latham-Koenig, OUP<br /> <br /> Question 43: According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE about<br /> Paul Martin?<br /> A.
