Question

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 allow 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.”

解析試題分析：文章介紹了在Westlake College學(xué)校要展開的一個活動，要讓學(xué)生擁有筆記本電腦來了解外部世界。
【小題1】A 推理題。根據(jù)第一段4,5行Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allow students to do schoolwork anywhere they want.可知這所學(xué)習(xí)讓學(xué)生使用筆記本電腦是為了學(xué)習(xí)，故A正確。
【小題2】A 推理題。根據(jù)本句In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to “speak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families.指學(xué)生使用電腦和老師同學(xué)發(fā)郵件，并不是真正的說話，所以這個引號不是不是真正的說話。故A正確。
【小題3】C 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第一段6,7行The laptops are part of a ＄10 million computer program at Westlake, a  110-year-old college.是， 這所學(xué)習(xí)已經(jīng)有了110年的歷史，是一所古老的學(xué)校，故C正確。
