Dear Dean,
It is my understanding that this college has received a large donation to be used to improve the quality of life for students: expand the bookstore or add computers to the lab. I strongly argue in favor of the addition of more computers.
We have to think about a greater goal and a more practical way to enhance the quality of life for students. Do we want our college to be known as a place with a great bookstore where you can find CDs and gifts, or as a place where the students can research in their field using the best tools provided by technology?
As a learning institution, this college has the responsibility to offer its students the best technology to help them prepare for their future, since many students will be expected to be familiar with the latest software and other tools when they go on to work.
While they are in college, students find they are expected to use computers. They are asked to create PowerPoint presentations and research many topics on the Internet. Being able to do projects using the computer also gives students the opportunity to find information that without a computer would be much more difficult to find. Since students are competing for good grades, those who have limited access to computers are at a great disadvantage.
If there are more new and faster computers accessible, students will be able to complete their work more efficiently. No more will they have to wait in line, paper and disk in hand, while scanning the room for an empty chair and computer. No longer will they have to sit and wait while an outdated computer struggles to follow their commands.
The more computers are used in society, the more colleges will depend on them as a tool of teaching and learning. Making computers more accessible to students facilitates their learning process by making it much easier and more engaging(专注), and eventually improves their quality of life.

(答案→)C 解析：文章大意：本文要求大学将捐赠的钱更多的增加电脑的配备，并陈述了自己的观点。【小题1】C细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句I strongly argue in favor of the addition of more computers.可以得出答案。故C正确。【小题2】A主旨大意题。根据文章第四段可知。作者主要陈述了电脑对学生的学术成功具有很大的重要性。故A正确。【小题3】A词义推测题。根据最后一段Making computers more accessible to students facilitates their learning process by making it much easier and more engaging(专注), and eventually improves their quality of life.可以推测出此词为“进一步”之意。故A正确。【小题4】B推理判断题。根据文章作者论述的结构来看，文章是先提出中心论点，然后二三四段分论，第四段后又有两个次要点，最后是总结概括。故B正确。
