correct answer to each of the questions from 30 to 34
Education is another area of social life in which information technology is changing the way we
communicate. Today's college students may not simply sit in a lecture or a library to learn about their
field. Through their computers and the wonders of virtual reality they can participate in lifelike
simulated experiences. Consider the following scenario of the future of education made possible through
developments in information technology.
For children over the age of 10, daily attendance at schools is not compulsory. Some of the older
children attend school only once or twice weekly to get tutorial support or instruction from a teacher.
For the most part, pupils are encouraged to work online from home. Students should complete a
minimum number of study hour per year; however, they may make up these hours by studying at home
at times that suit their family schedule. They can log on early or late in the day and even join live classes
in other countries. In order to ensure that each student is learning adequately, computer software will
automatically monitor the number hours a week each student studies on line as well as that student's
learning materials and assessment activities. Reports will be available for parents and teachers. The
software can then identify the best learning activities and conditions for each individual student and
generate similar activities. It can be also identify areas of week achievement and produce special
programs adjusted to the students' needs.
Question 34: What is the topic of the passage?
A. Students don't have to go to school any more
B. The effect of information technology on education
C. Students can know about their weak aspects to focus
D. Computer software will make sure students learn at home
Question 35: How many times are children who are older than 10 required to go to school weekly?
A. Three B. No time C. Once or twice D. Four
Question 36: Who/what counts the number of hours per week that students spend learning?
A. Teacher B. Parents C. Virtual reality D. Computers
Question 37: What can't the software do?
A. Find out the best activities for the students B. Design materials for the students
C. Identify weaknesses of the students D. Monitor the time the students learn
Question 38: What is NOT MENTIONED as a benefit of information technology to the students?
A. Students can learn at times that suit their schedule
B. Students can stay at home to learn
C. Students' learning time won't be monitored
