同等学力英语3月7日每日一练

　　Like many college students, Jose Juarez carries around a pocket-sized computer that lets him watch movies, surf the Internet and text-message his friends.

　　He's part of “Generation M” - those born after 1986 who　61　 up connected to everything from video games to cellphones.

　　“For us, it's everyday life, ” said Juarez, 18, a freshman　62　 California State University at Sacramento（CSUS）

　　63　, educators are now saying that not all Generation M-ers can synthesize the piles of information they're accessing

　　“They're geeky (令人讨厌的), but they don't know what to　64　with their geekdom,” said Barbara O'Connor, a communications studies professor who has been　involved in a nationwide　65　 to improve students' computer-research skills.

　　In a recent nationwide test to　66　 their technological “literacy” – their ability to use the Internet to complete class assignments - only 49 percent correctly evaluated a set of Web sites for objectivity， authority and timeliness. Only 36 per cent could correctly narrow an overly　67　 Internet search.

　　About 130 Sacramento State students, including Juarez, participated in the experimental test, 　68　　 to 6, 300 college students across the country.

　　The hour-long assessment test is conducted by Educational Testing Service. It is a web-based scavenger （食肉动物） hunt　　69　　 simulated Internet search engines and academic databases that spit out purposely misleading information.

　　“They're very good at　70　 in and using the Internet， but don't always understand what they get back，” said Linda Goff, head of instructional services for the CSUS library.

　　“You see an open search box， you type in a few words and you　71　 the button,” said Goff， who is involved in the testing.

　　“They take at face value　72　 shows up at the top of the list as the best stuff.”

　　Educators say that these sloppy（马虎）research skills are troubling.

　　“We look at that as a foundational skill, in the same way we　73　 math and English as a foundational skill,” said Lorie Roth, assistant vice-chancellor for academic programs in the CSU system.

　　Measuring how well students can “sort the good　74　 the bad” on the Internet has become a higher priority for CSU, Roth said.

　　CSU is considering　　75　 a mandatory （强制性的）assessment test on technological literacy for all freshmen, much as it has required English and math placement tests since the 1980s.

　　答案与题解

　　61. D。这里考查的是词汇。句意：他属于“M一代”，那些出生于1986年以后，_____在周围都是游戏手机的环境中。空格的含义是“生长，成长”，因此是grow up，bring up意为“养育”不符语境，因此选D。

　　62. C。这里考查的是介词。句意：“对我们来说，这是日常的生活”，Juarez这样说，来自CSUS的大一新生。这里表达的含义是“在某所大学”，用介词at，所以答案为C。

　　63. B。这里考查的是逻辑关系。句意： _____，研究者称并不是所有的“M一代”都能分析他们使用的信息。此处表达转折意，并且空格后有个逗号，故B为正确答案。

　　64. A。这里考查的是宾语从句。句意：这么多的信息是令人厌烦的，但他们不知道做什么来解决这些信息。固定搭配what to do，故A为正确答案。

　　66. A。这里考查的是词汇。句意：他是一名通讯产品研究专家，现致力于一个全国的_____来提高学生电脑搜索技巧。四个选项：effort（努力，努力的成果），plot（情节，阴谋），wish（希望），slogan（口号，标语）。其他搭配语义不通，故选A。

　　65. B。这里考查的是词汇。句意：最近一个全国性的测试，这是用来_____他们技术性如何。很显然，测试是用来检验，测验的，故B（检验）为正确答案。

　　67. C。这里考查的是词汇。句意：只有36%的人能够准确的缩小过度_____的搜索。很显然空白处应该是“narrow”的反义词，所以选择C。

　　68. D。这里考查的是词汇。句意：大约130名萨克拉门托州的学生，包括华雷斯参加了实验， 这个实验_____整个国家6300多名学生。根据语境，应该是这个实验面向全国6300个学生开展的，所以administer（执行，管理）比较符合语境。

　　69. D。这里考查的是短语。句意：这是一个基于网络的食肉动物搜索____模拟的因特网搜索引擎和数据-这些是故意出现的引人误入歧途的信息。With（带有，伴随）比较符合语境。

　　70. C。这里考查的是词汇。句意：他们擅长____和使用电脑，但并不是总是了解他们得到了什么。Type in(输入)，take in（接受，理解），其他的没有这个用法，所以选择C。

　　71. B。这里考查的是词汇。句意：你可以看到一个打开的搜索框，输入几个单词，____键盘。四个选项：pull(拉，拽)，push(按下)，beat（敲打），knock(敲)。很显然B符合语境。

　　72. A。这里考查的是宾语从句。Take sth. at face value意为“根据表面价值判断某物”。句意：他们根据表明价值进行判断，总是把_____显示的第一条信息看作是最好的。此处表达“无论什么”并且在从句中当主语，因此选择whatever，故A正确答案。

　　73. A。这里考查的是词汇。句意：我们认为这是一项基本的技能，同样地我们也____数学和英语是基本的技能。此句前后表达意思一致，因此选择A(认为)。

　　74. B。这里考查的固定搭配sort A from B“将A和B区分”。句意：测试学生在网上将好与坏从多大程度上区分开来是CSU现在研究的重点。

　　75. C。这里考查的是动名词。Consider后要加doing的形式。句意：CSU正在考虑是否对大一新生在技术方面添加一项强制性的测验，正如20世纪80年代必须要求英语和数学技能一样。
