Now online textbooks are changing the way some students learn and some teachers teach.More than one hundred and seventy­five thousand students attend the public schools in Fairfax County, Virginia, outside Washington. Last year, the school system used digital (数字的) books in fifteen schools. This school year, middle schools and high schools changed from printed to electronic textbooks in their social studies classes.Luke Rosa is a history teacher at Falls Church High School. His students work on laptop computers at school. He explains the idea to them this way, “I mean, it's just like a regular textbook, except it's got it all, online.”Peter Noonan, an assistant superintendent (助理监督) of schools, said, “The world's changing. And the online textbooks can change right along with the events that are happening.” Digital books also cost less than printed textbooks, he said.A student named Melanie Reuter said, “I don't have to carry a textbook around, so that's nice.”But another student said, “I don't like it because the Internet sometimes doesn't work.”Students also need access to the Internet when they are not at school. About ten percent of students in Fairfax County do not have a computer or online access at home. Public libraries in the county have free Internet. There are also after­school computer labs as well as computer clubhouses supported by the country. Middle school student Slieman Hakim is happy about that. He said, “My family only has one computer; my sister and I both do our homework on it. So I come here to do my homework. It's good.”Other school systems in the area are also considering online textbooks.随着因特网的普及，电子教材正在改变着学生学习和老师授课的传统模式。5．Which of the following is NOT used when students have social studies classes?A．Computers.    B．The Internet.C．Paper textbooks.    D．Electronic textbooks.答案：C解析：根据第二段的“This school year, middle schools and high schools changed from printed to electronic textbooks in their social studies classes.”可知，本学年学生上社会学课使用的是电子教材。根据文章信息可知使用电子教材需要电脑、电子教材和互联网，普通教材当然就不需要了。6．One of the disadvantages of digital textbooks is that ________.A．they're more expensiveB．they can't be used if the computer is offlineC．they're soon out of dateD．reading online does harm to students' eyes答案：B解析：根据第六段另一学生的观点“I don't like it because the Internet sometimes doesn't work.”可推断出，电子教材的一个不利之处就是，当连接不上因特网的时候，电子教材就没法使用。7．Why does Slieman Hakim feel happy?A．He is offered a free computer to do his homework.B．He doesn't have to do his homework at home.C．He has access to the Internet to study at any place.D．He needn't share a computer with his sister to do homework.答案：D解析：根据倒数第二段的“My family only has one computer; my sister and I both do our homework on it. So I come here to do my homework. It's good.”可知，Hakim家只有一台电脑，之前他和妹妹都需要上网做作业，必然会出现电脑之争。现在做作业不用和妹妹争电脑了，他当然感到高兴。8．What can we learn from the passage?A．All students like digital textbooks because they are new.B．Digital textbooks are more beautiful than paper textbooks.C．Students can do their homework in the computer clubhouses.D．The lessons online are completely different from those in paper textbooks.答案：C解析：根据倒数第二段中的“There are also after­school computer labs as well as computer clubhouses supported by the country.”可知，学生也可以在computer clubhouses上网做作业，故C项正确。Ⅱ.完形填空(2019·山东枣庄八中检测)My young friend, David, has a problem.
