    Laptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.

　　Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to “speak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees-anywhere at all!

　　Because of the many changes in computer technology , laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.

　　At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, “ Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we’re giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything.”

　　參考答案：AAACD

　　1. 首先這個(gè)問(wèn)題中包含的關(guān)鍵詞有“l(fā)aptop program”，和“give each student a laptop”，在第二段的第一句話 “Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students anywhere they want.” 中，很容易找到答案“to do schoolwork”，所以答案選擇A.

　　2. 該問(wèn)題考查的是常識(shí)性問(wèn)題，“speak”的意思是學(xué)生通過(guò)電腦進(jìn)行交流，并非真正的說(shuō)話，所以答案選擇A。

　　3. 在最后一段中有“Westlake College”，所以答案應(yīng)該在最后一段中尋找。解決這個(gè)問(wèn)題可以用排除法。B選項(xiàng)中的1500名學(xué)生沒(méi)有提及，關(guān)于這個(gè)大學(xué)的歷史也沒(méi)有提到，所以排除B和C. D選項(xiàng)本身就是錯(cuò)誤的，所以答案選擇A。從“The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons.”這句話中也可以判斷出A是正確選擇。

　　4. 這個(gè)問(wèn)題來(lái)自最后一段的倒數(shù)第二句話“we’re giving students a window on the world.”這句話的意思是“我們?yōu)閷W(xué)生提供展望世界的一扇窗”其深層的意義是“電腦能夠讓學(xué)生獲取世界各地的消息，開(kāi)闊眼界”所以答案選擇C。A選項(xiàng)比較片面，B選項(xiàng)沒(méi)有提及，D選項(xiàng)與該問(wèn)題沒(méi)有聯(lián)系。

　　5. 這個(gè)問(wèn)題比較常見(jiàn)，主要目的是尋找這篇短文的暗含意義。倒數(shù)第二段的最后一句話“State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.”，其意思是“一些官員正在其他大學(xué)對(duì)該項(xiàng)目進(jìn)行測(cè)試”所以我們還不知道結(jié)果，選擇D，進(jìn)而排除A和B，而C選項(xiàng)在文中沒(méi)有涉及到。
