When

we

and

But

the

reality

is,

we

spend

most

of

our

holidays

on

our

personal

devices.

Smartphones

have

taken

the

world

by

storm,

(22)__________

(influence)

).

(23)__________

it

that

sending

a

text

message

or

uploading

a

to

WeChat

(24)__________

(take)

a

little

time,

these

things

eventually

add

up

without

us

even

knowing it.

A

pen

has

always

been

a(n)

(31)

____________

tool

when

it

comes

to

taking

exams.

However, in this digital age, this traditional tool may become a thing of the past.

Cambridge

University

in

Britain

is

considering

ending

800

years

of

written

exams

and

allowing students to use laptops or iPads to take exams instead.

The

move

comes

after

Cambridge

teachers

complained

that

students’

handwriting

is

becoming

too

hard

to

recognize.

The

(32)

____________

in

being

able

to

write

neatly

could

largely be down to the (33) ____________ on laptops in lectures and elsewhere.

“There has definitely been a(n) (34) ____________ trend. It is difficult for both the students

and the examiners as it is harder and harder to

read these scripts,” Sarah Pearsall, a senior lecturer

at the university, told The Telegraph.

As a result, more and more students with poor handwriting are being (35) ____________ to

return

to

university

during

the

summer

holidays

to

read

their

answers

aloud

to

university

administrators.

However, some (36) ____________ the move, fearing the handwritten word would become a

lost art.

Tracey

Trussell,

a

handwriting

expert

at

the

British

Institute

of

Graphologists,

(37)

____________ Cambridge to “make sure

that students continue to write by hand, particularly in

lectures”. She told The Telegraph that writing by hand could help students improve their memory

and understand lessons better.

Meanwhile,

there

are

also

concerns

that

primary

and

secondary

schools

could

follow

Cambridge’s example.

In fact, a similar plan was carried out for some first- and second-year students at Edinburgh

University in the UK in 2011, reported The Scotsman. Senior officials at the university believed it

was (38) ____________ to expect students to use pens and paper during exams when most of their

coursework was done using computers.

The move also echoes the opinions of Harvard professor Eric Mazur, known as the father of

the “flipped classroom”.

He believes that the rise of mobile internet (39) ____________ means that we live in an age

in which we don’t need to memorize anything.

As a result, he encourages students to bring their laptops and mobile phones into exams. With

these devices, students can “look up whatever they want, whenever they want” and be tested on

their creative and (40) ____________ skills, rather than the ability to remember information, he

said during the Times Higher Education World Academic Summit in September.

Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or

unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the

one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

While a female politician or first lady can use her clothing to create a favorable public image,

male politicians don’t have as many fashion choices to play with. But Canadian Prime Minister

Justin Trudeau seems to have discovered a goldmine

–

his socks.

He’s

been

seen

wearing

“statement

socks”

at

many

public

events.

For

example,

during

a

NATO

(

北大西洋公约组织

)

meeting

in

Brussels

in

May,

Trudeau

wore one

blue

sock

and

one

pink, both with the NATO symbol printed on them. And in June, he wore a pair of socks with the

pattern of maple leaves

–

a national symbol of Canada

–

when he appeared on a TV show.

B. sensitive

B. taking

B. relax

The

New

York

Times’

editor

Vanessa

Friedman

praised

Trudeau’s

play

on

his

socks

as

“clever”.

“Socks

are

subtle

enough

not

to

be

distracting,

but

visible

enough

that

you

can’t

miss

the

point,” she wrote. “Rarely have a man’s ankles said so much.”

One example is a pair he wore during a meeting with Enda Kenny, then the prime minister of

Ireland,

in

Montreal

on

May

4.

During

their

meeting,

Trudeau

wore

Star

Wars

socks

–

simply

because that day happened to be International Star Wars Day.

If this pair of socks sent out any

message, according to V

ogue magazine reporter Emily Farra, that message was “just that he has a

quirky

side and lov

es George Lucas films,” she wrote.

However, some say that 45-year-

old Trudeau’s unusual sock choices show a childish side of

the prime minister that proves he isn’t mature enough to be the leader of a country.

But Friedman doesn’t see it that way. “The soc

ks have been a source of pride and applause on

an international scale

–

a symbol both of Mr Trudeau’s ability to embrace multiculturalism and of

his position as a next-

generation leader not bound by old traditions,” she wrote. They have opened

up possibilities for the future.
