Ⅳ. 完形填空

Scot was brought up in a very poor family. He started 26 in the 7th grade and by high school he was only going to school half days, leaving at 11 am to go to work.

Lack of money meant lack of 27 opportunities, but he had a 28 for knowledge. In his 29 time he read books on human development, vocabulary builders, 30 that he thought would help him succeed 31 down the road.

He was a hard worker and rose above his lack of higher education to produce decently for his family, 32 the factory life was taking it toll (造成伤害) on him 33 , emotionally, and spiritually. It was, in his mind, 34 him like a slow poison.

In 1995 he bought his first computer and a few months later discovered the Internet. He wanted to be a part of it, and worked 48 or more hours in the 35 and worked 36 40 or more hours a week teaching 37 computer skills. He
worked harder than he 38 had in his life, logging over 100 hours a week on many, many 39 .

Scot began applying for jobs in the Internet and computer fields. He was shot down many times, but he never 40
. He had a goal and kept after it even when he didn’t feel like it because anything else seemed so 41 . That kind of drive and perseverance (坚持不懈) almost always pays off.

Imagine a classroom missing the one thing that’s long been considered a necessary part to reading and writing ------ paper. No notebooks, no textbooks, no test paper. Nor are there any pencils or pens, which always seem to run out of ink at the critical moment.

A “paperless classroom” is what more and more schools are trying to achieve.

Students don’t do any handwriting in this class. Instead, they use palm size, or specially-designed computers. The teacher downloads texts from Internet libraries and sends them to every student’s personal computer.

Having computers also means that students can use the Web. They can look up information on any subject they’re studying from math to social science.

High school teacher Judy Harrel in Florida, US, described how her class used the Web to learn about the war in Afghanistan (阿富汗) before.

“We could touch every side of the country through different sites from the forest to refugee camps (难民营)”, she said. “Using a book that’s three or four years old is impossible.”

And exams can go online too. At a high school in Tennessee, US, students take tests on their own computers. The teacher records the grades on the network for everyone to see and then copies them to his own electronic grade book.

A paperless classroom
is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper. High school teacher Stephanie Sorrell in Kentucky, US, said she used to give about 900 pieces of paper each week to each student.

“Think about the money and trees we could save with the computer,” she said.

But, with all this technology, there’s always the risk that the machines will break down. So, in case of a power failure or technical problems, paper textbooks are still widely available for these hi-tech students.

46. What does “run out of ink at the critical moment” in the first paragraph mean?

A. Pens
may not write well at the critical moment.

B. Pens get lost easily, so you may not find them at the critical moment.

C. Pens may have little or no ink at the critical moment.

D. Pens use ink, while pencils don’t.

47. The high school teacher, Judy Harrell, used the example of her class to show that ______.

A. the Web could take them everywhere

B. the Web taught them a lot

C. the Web is a good tool for information

D. the Web, better than the textbooks, can give the latest and comprehensive (全面的) information

48. The paperless classrooms will benefit ______ most.

A. students B. teachers C. trees D. computers
