17-Monday 新技术 251词

题材： 新技术　 词数： 251　 建议阅读时间： 5分钟

阅读下面的短文，判断正（T）误（F）。

Some people believe that schools will no longer be necessary in the near future．They say that because of the Internet and other new technology，there is no longer any need for school buildings，classes or teachers．Perhaps this will be true one day，but if the world has no schools，I can't imagine how our society will be．

In fact，we should learn how to use new technology to make schools better．We should invent a new kind of school that is linked to libraries，museums，science centres，labs and even companies．Technological companies should create learning programs for schools．Scientists could give talks through the Internet．TV networks and local stations could develop programs about things students are studying in school．Labs could set up websites to show new technology so students could see it on the Internet．

Is this a dream？No．There are already many cities where this is beginning to happen．Here the whole city is linked to the Internet，and learning can take place at home，at school，and in the office．Businesses provide programs for the schools and the society．The schools provide computer labs for people without their own computers at home．Because everyone can go on the Internet，older people use it as much as younger ones，and everyone can visit far-away libraries and museums as easily as nearby ones．

How will this new kind of school change the usual way of learning？It is too early to be sure，but it is very exciting to think about it．Technology will change the way we learn；schools will change as well； and we will all learn something from the Internet．

参考译文

有些人认为，不久的将来，学校没必要存在了。他们说，由于互联网和其他新技术的出现，学校的建筑、课堂或老师不再是必需的。也许将来的某一天这会成为现实，但如果这个世界没了学校，我无法想象我们的社会将变成什么样子。

实际上，我们应该学会用新技术把学校变得更美好。我们应该发明一种能和图书馆、博物馆、科学中心、实验室甚至企业联系到一起的新型学校。科技公司应该研制供学校使用的学习软件。科学家应该在互联网上开办讲座。电视台和当地的广播电台应该开发与学生在校学习有关的节目。实验室应该建立展示新技术的网站，这样，学生在互联网上就可以看到这些东西了。

这是做梦吗？不是。已经有许多城市开始这样做了。有一个城市的所有地方都和互联网联系起来了，人们可以在家里、学校或是办公室学习。企业为学校和社会提供软件。学校为那些家里没有电脑的人提供电脑实验室。由于每个人都能上网，老年人使用网络的频率和年轻人一样了，每个人都能方便地浏览远处的图书馆和博物馆，其方便程度就和住在附近的人一样。

这种新型学校将怎样改变惯常的学习方法呢？现在下结论还为时过早，但想到这一点就很令人兴奋了。技术将改变我们的学习方式，学校也在改变，我们都将从网络上学到东西。
