试题详情及答案解析
Carmen Arace Middle School is situated in the town of Bloomfield,but four years ago it faced many of the same challenges as inner—city schools nearby:low scores in standardized tests and dropping enrollment(入学率)of students.Then the hard-driving headmaster, Delore Bolton,persuaded her school to shake up the place by buying a laptop computer for each student and teacher to use in school and at home.For good measure,the board provided wireless Internet access at school.Total cost :$5 million.
Now an hour before classes start,every seat in the library is taken by students eager to get online.The teacher talks about rocks as students view them at a colorful website,after school students on buses pull laptops from backpacks to get started on homework.Since the computers arrived,scores in state tests are up 35%and the enrollment increases by 20%.
