檢測題25. 閱讀理解AIncreased use of the Internet and mobile phones is undermining pupils ability for independent study and promoting poor grammar, it was claimed.Cranfield School of Managementfound almost six in ten schoolchildrenwere copying information directly from websites for homework tasks without properly reading it.More than a quarter thought it was an acceptable practice, even though they know it was considered plagiarism(剽竊).The study, based on a sample of around 260 pupils aged from 11 to 18 at a secondary school in the Midlands, raised concerns that modern technology was having a destructive effect on young people.Andrew Kakabadse, professor of international management development at Cranfield, said, “Our research shows that technology obsession(癡迷)prevents spelling skills, encourages plagiarism, and disturbs classroom learning. ”“Despite school policies restricting mobile phone usage, students use the phone frequently, with the majority making calls from the toilets. The mobile phone continues to be a main channel of social communication during the school day. ”The report revealed that so-called“text-speak”was increasingly finding it was into pupils school work.Three in ten students admit to using text message shortcuts, such as“r u ok”in essays and classroom tasks.It followed a study earlier this year that found almost half of the teachers failed to understand some pupils writing because it was so full of confusing language. Phrases such as“innit”and“Gr8”were regularly found in school work.The Cranfield study found that mobile use was so common that many pupils chose to ignore school rules on phones.More than a third said they would use their mobile in class, while nearly three quarters said they would not even make an excuse to leave class to answer a phone call.【文章大意】使用互聯網和手機的學生越來越多了?？墒? 科技不僅給學生們帶來了便捷, 也給他們的學習帶來了很多不利影響。1.

Hukou means household registration in Chinese and has been widely used.Dama, meaning middle-aged women, was first used in the Western media by the Wall Street Journal in May when thousands of Chinese women were buying up record number of gold. They were the driving force in the global gold market between April and June when the gold prices had slumped(下跌).“We have nearly 120 Chinese-linked words now in Oxford English Dictionary, ”she said.
