New Technology Revolutionizes(变革) Learning
More and more people believe that technologies are great for learning. Today, such teaching
tools as iPads are used in a lot of courses, including language, history and science.
Many teachers are supporters of using iPads in language learning. They say that students now
have much more time for discussion in the classroom. Instead of spending valuable class time
listening to texts or watching teaching videos, students can do this on their own and come to class
prepared for discussion.
The teachers also say that iPads allow students to learn at their own pace
. Some students
might listen to a dialogue only once and understand it, so they can save time for doing other
things. Other students, however, might need to listen to the same dialogue again and again to
understand it. Using iPads is especially helpful to students who are learning a language at different
paces.
The students who are using the new tool in some courses are also happy. They believe that
using iPads is a more enjoyable way to learn (such as listening to stories and watching movies).
The class has become much more interesting and creative.
There are other advantages for students. By using iPads, they
can pay more attention to the material and learn more. Teaching
notes are stored in their iPads and are easy to find .Some students
spend more time studying now. “I can listen to my language
material or watch teaching videos on the bus, instead of having to
wait until I get home,” a student explained.
Many adults complain that technologies such as iPads are doing harm to students. They
worry that students might use iPads to download teaching notes and use them to cheat during
exams. Some believe that iPads may separate students from each other. If a student spends more
time watching videos on an iPad, he will have fewer opportunities to have face-to-face
communication with others.
However, technologies are already a part of most students’ day-to-day lives. As for cheating,
teachers can ask students to hand in their iPads when they take exams. Education needs to make
changes with the times as technology is playing an important part. We should look forward to a
wonderful future when iPads and other technologies can add a lot to the classroom.
6. What does the expression “at their own pace” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. According to their own timetable. B. Without their teachers’ help.
C. Because of their wonderful goals. D. Against their parents’ hope.
7. From the passage we can learn that____.
A. students with iPads have less discussion in class
B. students get more fun from learning with iPads
C. iPads help students save time waiting for buses
D. iPads prevent students from cheating in exams
8. The writer probably agrees that____.
A. teachers can take control of students’ learning
B. exam results depend a lot on now technology
C. technology in education has a bright future
D. note-taking is as helpful as video-watching

参考范文：
Many students like getting on-line very much. They can learn how to use the modern
machine—computers. They can learn much more knowledge from the Internet. It can make them
clever by playing different kinds of games.
But some students spend too much time playing games. Some even make friends on-line. It
takes them too much time to write too many letters to each other, so they do worse in their lessons.
I think they mustn’t get on-line when they’re studying at school. They can do it in summer or
winter holidays.
