题目列表(包括答案和解析)

When you look up into the sky at night, have you ever felt that your eyes are playing tricks on (捉弄) you? It seems that the stars are moving all the time.

Actually, there is nothing wrong with your eyes. This twinkling effect is called scintillation (交光). Scintillation happens because of air movements in the earth’s atmosphere (大气). Light is “bent (弯曲的)” when it travels through different parts of the earth’s atmosphere. As the air in the earth’s atmosphere is moving all the time, the light from the stars looks as if it is moving too.

The same thing also happens to things on the ground. On a very hot and shiny day, if you look at the road, the image in the distance is not clear and things move slightly. You can also see the same effect if you drop a rock into water. The rock appears a little unclear under the moving water.

This twinkling effect causes a lot of problems for astronomers (天文学家) since they cannot observe the stars clearly. A telescope (望远镜) was sent into space so that the air movements in the atmosphere could be avoided (避免). It took a long time to build the space telescope but finally in 1990, a huge space telescope called the Hubble Space Telescope was successfully sent into space. Since then, astronomers have many important observations that have helped people understand space better.

  Anyone who is interested in study will welcome the latest development in classroom technology.School pupils equipped with hand-held keypads(键盘)connected wirelessly to electronic whiteboards(白色书写板)can now answer teachers questions-without their classmates knowing.The electronic“student response system”is aimed at 4-to-11-year-olds

  Stephen Jury, the company’s chief manager, says the system helps teachers with the continuous assessment of pupils, and encourages shy children to voice opinions and become more active in class.

  According to the Department of Education and Skills, ICT(information and communications technology)spending for schools has more than doubled since 1998.

  “If anything, it will probably increase,”says David Todman, Dell’s UK schools manager.“To achieve what the government wants in education, there is nothing it can do but increase expenditure on IT.”

  The education white paper Higher Standards, Better Schools for All, looks to IT to help the government achieve two aims-lessons tailored to(适应)different pupils’ needs and connecting parents more closely with choosing and running schools.It notes that more than 80% of secondary schools now have websites.“Parents and pupils will be able to see exactly what’s on offer, how well the school is doing, and the future direction it plans to take.”Parents can log on(登录)to the school’s IT system to look at their child’s reports, attendance records and information about homework.

  Nearly everyone agrees that more needs to be done to make sure that computers are used properly in schools.Stephen Jury says that Britain needs to follow the US in developing the rules of“educational technology”rather than leaving e-learning in the hands of IT departments.
