Students at Empire High School started class with no text books－but it wasn’t because of money problems.

Instead, the school gave iBooks－laptop computersto each of its 340 students, becoming one of the first US public schools to stop printed textbooks.
School officials believe that the electronic materials will make students enjoy learning more. Empire High Schoolwas designed to have a textbook-free environment.
Students at Empire High School get the materials over the school’s Internet network. The school has a central control system that limits what can be downloaded(下载) at the school.
“Students can hand in homework online. We have a web program that helps to check if you copy from others,” the headmaster Baker said.
In addition to offering up-to-date information, teachers can make the lessons more enjoyable. For example, lessons in history can include links to a person’s daily life, his ideas, his discovery, and so on.
Social studies teacher Jeremy Gypton said the change was easier than expected. Gypton said he assigned reading based on websites, used online groups and message boards to keep the students connected. And he also asked them to comment（评论）on each other’s work.
Julian Tarazon, a new student, said that it was kind of hard at first, because you had to put things in folders(文件夹). But after a couple of days, you got used to it. Another student Morgan Northcutt said the computer system had made it easier to do homework.
The school isn’t completely paperless, however. It has a library, and students can read books in it.
“We’re not trying to get rid of books,” Baker said. “We love books.”

(答案→)B 解析：短文大意：在帝国高中学生上课没有课本－但并不是因为钱的问题。相反，学校给给每位学生－iBook笔记本电脑，成了第一个停止使用印刷教科书的美国公立学校。给学生提供了一个创意共享的平台。【小题1】细节理解题。文章的第二段讲述“学校使用ibooks，学校停止使用printed textbooks”， 停止使用printed textbooks就是不再用的意思，所以本题选B。【小题2】细节理解题。文章第一段讲述“不是钱的问题”，文章第四段讲述“学校有一个控制下载内容的中央系统”，所以其网络没有限制。文章第五段讲述“学校有一个帮助检查是否抄袭的程序”。所以，根据本篇文章的主要意思，学校推广ibooks是因为“想要改进教学”，所以本题选C。【小题3】细节理解题。文章第四段讲述“学校有一个控制下载内容的中央系统”，所以答案为B。【小题4】词义猜测题。文章第七段第二行，“Gypton老师是基于网页来进行给学生布置阅读任务”，然后通过“在线小组进行连接”。所以本题的答案为D。【小题5】细节理解题。本题主要问“网上作业的最大优势”，但是学生必须理解考试手册词汇“advantage”。回答这个问题需要理解整篇文章的意思，然后通过四个论述的比较选择符合文章主要意思，所以本题选D，给学生提供了一个创意共享的平台。【小题6】主旨大意题。文章的主要内容是“使用ibooks来代替textbooks”，其他的三个内容只是论述的三个方面。所以本题选A。
