Section A

3-2 Text A: College life in the Internet age

Pre-reading activities

1) Advantages: more direct communication between the

teacher and students; a better learning atmosphere.

Disadvantages: little interaction either among students or

between students and the teacher; the teacher tending to

dominate the class; writing on blackboard reducing

efficiency.

Advantages: more vivid teaching materials; students better

engaged in classroom learning.

Disadvantages: too many distractions with too many pictures

and videos in multimedia classrooms.

Advantages: being able to choose when and what you want to

learn; easy access to the wide range of online information.

Disadvantages: making it easier for students to copy answers

from the Internet; lack of face-to-face communication between

the teacher and students; the possibility for students to

develop Internet addiction.

2) I prefer the multimedia way of learning. A multimedia

classroom is vivid with teaching materials presented in different

ways: slides, pictures, and even movies. Compared with a

traditional classroom, a multimedia classroom is more

interesting.

To be frank, I prefer to study online. In this way I can manage

my own time. I can have my own priorities and do things at my

own pace. It is simply what I want.

3) Yes. The Internet is indispensable in teaching and learning

nowadays. It is hard to imagine what it would be like without

the Internet. We would have no easy or quick way to learn

about the latest development of teaching and learning. We

would miss the many interesting online courses; we couldn't

communicate effectively with teachers after class. We just can't

afford to lose the Internet.

No. Teaching and learning had been carried out long before the

Internet came into being. And people did just as well without

the Internet or the computer. It is true that the Internet makes

teaching and learning more convenient and more efficient, but

it is by no means indispensable. I'm sure we can still teach or

learn without the Internet.

Reading comprehension

Reading comprehension-1

1) A fleet of laptops, smartphones and Internet connectivity 24

hours a day.

2) Wireless Internet access anywhere and anytime on campus.

3) Because smartphones could draw students' attention and

encourage sophisticated thinking.

4) Because too much time online can mean too little time in

real-life studying or exercising or visiting with friends. If we

spend too much time online, we will be cut off from the real

world.

5) They used the money to wire dorms with high-speed

connections and equip their campuses with Wi-Fi networks.

6) Because the university was afraid that its technology was not

as advanced as that of other universities, it gave away free

Apple iPads to compensate for its inferiority in this aspect.

7) If a university can't keep up with the rest of the world, or if it

can't provide high-bandwidth information as expected, it will be

at a competitive disadvantage.

8) It is mainly because they want to provide students with the

most advanced free system.

Reading comprehension-2

1) Yes, I think so. Internet access is a must on campus. We

students need the Internet to do research for our study, to

obtain information to broaden our knowledge of the world, to

communicate with family and friends, and to enrich our lives in

our spare time.

No, I don't think so. There are many potential disadvantages if

Internet access is so easily accessible on campus. Some

students may waste too much time in playing online games or

chatting online, be tempted to visit "unhealthy" websites, or

even become Internet-addicted and neglect their study.

2) It sounds like an awful idea to me. Obtaining knowledge is

only part of learning. Learning not only gives us a wealth of

knowledge, it also provides us with great vision, strong

principles, social abilities, good manners, interpersonal skills

and many more valuable attributes. This obviously cannot be

realized by learning at home only with the computer.

I think it is a good idea that students can study at home via the

Internet in the future. Learning would become more flexible

and accessible. This way, college education could become

available to many more people, old or young, near or far,

healthy or handicapped.

3) The Internet and smartphones have become an

indispensable part of our daily life because they don't cost

much and they make communication much more convenient.

We can talk to people, or leave them messages almost

anywhere and anytime. And very often we will get responses in

no time.

With the Internet and smartphones becoming more and more

popular, we are forgetting how to write with a pen or how to

talk with people face to face. The more we use the Internet and

smartphones, the less we meet our friends in real life. Even

when friends meet face to face, instead of talking with each

other, they all look at their smartphones, checking email or

posting something on WeChat.

4) Life would be unimaginable without the Internet or

smartphones. I depend on them to do everything, from study to

communication, from shopping to entertaining. Without the

Internet, the banking systems, the communications systems, in

fact all key aspects closely related to people's life will collapse.

Life without the Internet would be terrible and simply

unimaginable.

Actually, I wouldn't mind having a life without the Internet or

smartphones. Without them, I would meet my family and

friends face to face and spend more quality time together. I

might take up some interesting hobbies or try something new.

So, without them life might become even more colorful.

参考：It is not uncommon to see teenagers smoking today.

Some of them smoke because of peer pressure. When they see

some of their friends smoking, they feel the pressure to try it

out in order to "fit in" with the crowd. Some other teenagers

smoke because they want to imitate adults or appear to be

mature. Teenagers like to imitate their favorite stars and adults

around them. So, parents who smoke may set a bad example

for their children. In conclusion, the causes of teenager smoking

can be attributed to peer pressure and their intention to look

like adults.

参考：China's space industry was launched in 1956. Over the

past decades, China's space industry has created one miracle

after another. In 1970 China launched its first man-made earth

satellite, ranking China the fifth country in the world to

independently develop and launch man-made earth satellites.

In 1992 China began to carry out the manned spaceflight

program. In 2003 China launched Shenzhou-5, a manned

spaceship. The successful launch made China the third country

to launch manned spaceships. In 2007 Chang'e-1, the first

lunar-orbiting man-made satellite, was sent to space. In 2013

Shenzhou-10, the fifth manned spaceship, was launched

successfully, laying the foundation for building the Chinese

Space Station.

1) Teenagers and college students are more likely to become

Internet addicts. Many teenagers lack self-discipline. Though

their parents may watch them closely at home and only allow

them very limited time to get online, once being away from

home, these kids are likely to indulge themselves in the Internet.

The same is true for college students. College students often

use the Internet to help with their study, and they lack

supervision from their parents if they live on campus. If they do

not watch their time online and what they do with the Internet,

they may also become addicted to the Internet.

2) Yes, I think so. A weak personality usually can't resist

temptation. Jack, my former classmate, definitely falls into this

category. He knew for sure that online games would take up too

much of his study time. However, he just couldn't stop thinking

about the games and completely indulged himself in this virtual

world.

No, I don't think so. A person with a strong personality may also

become an addict. One of my friends had a very strong

personality. He was independent and decisive, and he was

always the leader among his friends. But somehow he became

an Internet addict. So I think addiction to the Internet has

nothing to do with one's personality.

3) If I have friends who unfortunately become Internet-addicted,

I will help them: 1) set time limits. I will suggest that they

should allow themselves a limited amount of time to spend

online each day; 2) keep themselves busy. I will help them find

activities to keep their mind off the Internet, e.g. meeting

friends, taking up new hobbies, doing sports.

4) "No Computer Day" is a good idea. If you shut down your

computer for a day, you'll possibly find a book to read, go out

with friends, talk with your family, visit a museum, play

basketball, or go to a concert. A day without the computer is a

reminder that there are more rewarding things to do.

I don't think it is a good idea. For people who depend on their

computers for their work or study, they could do little or almost

nothing without computers. Moreover, the business world may

become out of order without computers, even for only one day.
