Imagine a classroom missing the one thing that’s long been considered a necessary part to reading and writing---paper. No notebooks, no textbooks, no test papers. Nor are there any pencils or pens, which always seems to run out of ink at the critical moment. A “paperless classroom” is what more and more schools are trying to achieve .
Students don’t do any handwriting in this class . Instead , they use palm size , or specially—designed computers. The teacher downloads texts from Internet libraries and sends them to every student’s personal computer. Having computers also means that students use the Web. They can look up information on any subject they’re studying from maths to social science.
High school teacher Judy Herrell in Florida, US, described how her class used the Web to learn about the war in Afghanistan over one year ago. We could touch every side of the country through different sites from the forest to refugee camps, she said .“Using a book that’s three or four years old is impossible.”And exams can go on line too. At a high school in Tennessee, US, students take tests on their own computers. The teacher records the grades on the network for everyone to see and then copies them to his own electronic grade book. A paperless classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper. High school teacher Stephanie—Sorrell in Kentucky,US, said she used to give about 900 pieces of paper each week to each student.
“Think about the money and trees we could save with the computers,”she said .But, with all this technology, there is always the risk that the machines will break down. So , in case of a power failure or technical problems, paper textbooks are still widely available for these hi—tech students.

(答案→)C 解析：文章对无纸化课堂进行了介绍，同时给我们展现了无纸化课堂的好处。【小题1】推断题。从第一段可知，钢笔有时候在关键时刻总是没有什么墨或是没有墨水，故选C【小题2】细节题。从第二段断尾及We could touch every side of the country through different sites from the forest to refugee camps,可知举这个例子是说明网站比书本好，因为书本不可能用三四年，而且它还能够得到最新的，最全面的信息，故选D【小题3】细节题。从A paperless classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper. High school teacher Stephanie—Sorrell in Kentucky,US, said she used to give about 900 pieces of paper each week to each student.可知无纸化的教室最有助于减少纸的损耗，故选C【小题4】推断题。从文章in case of a power failure or technical problems,可知万一是没电了或是技术问题，所以此处的短语意思是停止工作的意思，故需B
