【题目】C

In March, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio ended a decade-long citywide ban on cellphones in public schools and left them to make up their own rules because he argued that by denying access for some students, the city was exacerbating(使加重) the achievement gap in students’ performance.

Two researchers from the London School of Economics, Richard Murphy and Louis-Philippe Beland argued that this might have the opposite effect because students are not generally using their phones to assist in their classroom work during school. "Schools could significantly reduce the education achievement gap by prohibiting cellphone use in schools, and so by allowing phones in schools, New York may unintentionally increase the inequalities of outcomes," they told CNN.

However, some educators have come to embrace the technology in their students’ pockets. Teacher Ken Halla has been teaching world history and Advanced Placement for 22 years but his students’ cellphone ownership forced him to adapt to his classroom dynamics where he no longer is the single authority lecturing, according to the National Education Association (NEA). He now roams(漫步) the classroom and encourages students to use their cellphones to help them complete their assignments, this way they are less likely to let their devices distract themselves.

"It’s harder to do negative behavior when the phones are out and the teacher is walking around," Mr. Halla told the NEA. "I’ve always been that type of person who likes to adapt and change as time goes on. Otherwise, I wouldn’t still be teaching many years down the road."

【1】Why was the ban on cellphones stopped in New York public schools?

A. It negatively affected students’ health.

B. It limited most students’ progress.

C. It brought about unexpected side effects.

D. It was requested by parents and students.

【2】How did the two researchers find New York’s act?

A. Appreciative. B. Meaningless.

C. Impractical. D. Worrying.

【3】What is Halla’s class like?

A. Students can solve problems using cellphones.

B. Students can use cellphones at will.

C. The class focuses on how to use cellphones.

D. He is the only center of the entire class.

【4】What does the phrase "that type of person" in the last paragraph refer to?

A.A tolerant one. B.A humorous one.

C. An easy-going one. D. An open-minded one.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】D

【3】A

【4】D

【解析】

【文章大意】本文为议论文。纽约市决定放开在公立学校使用手机的禁令,此举引起不同的反响。

【1】考查细节理解。根据第一段中的"because he argued that by denying access for some students, the city was exacerbating(使加重) the achievement gap in students’ performance"可知纽约市放开公立学校的手机使用禁令的主要原因是该禁令拉大了学生之间的学业差距,即产生了负面影响。故选C。

【2】考查推理判断。根据第二段中的"so by allowing phones in schools, New York may unintentionally increase the inequalities of outcomes"可知这两位研究人员(Richard Murphy和Louis-Philippe Beland)对纽约市的这一做法表示担忧,认为此举可能加剧结果的不均衡,故选D。

【3】考查细节理解。根据第三段中的"He now roams(漫步) the classroom and encourages students to use their cellphones to help them complete their assignments"可知在Halla的课堂上,他鼓励学生利用手机完成作业,故选A。B项的干扰性比较大,B项意为"学生可以随意使用手机",但是第三段中说的是Halla鼓励学生用手机完成他们的作业,第四段又提到"It’s harder to do negative behavior when the phones are out and the teacher is walking around",由此可知,在Halla的课堂上,学生并非可以随意使用手机。

【4】考查词义猜测。根据最后一段画线部分后的定语从句"who likes to adapt and change as time goes on"可知,Halla是能接受新思想,能与时俱进的人,故选D。
