5.(2024春 凉州区校级期末) In the field of education technology,some apps might be getting too smart.There are more and more apps providing help for students.
PhotoMath
The new,seemingly magic app allows users to take pictures of a math problem,and then receive a step﹣by﹣step solution.It is now the number one free app on the App Store.A PhotoMath spokeswoman says educators have welcomed the app with positive reviews,but the software causes a lot of angry public discussion and disagreement.Why?It is because students can use it to cheat when doing their math homework.
iHomework
Whether you're a high school student or a college student,there's one thing you've got for sure:a lot of homework.iHomework can help you keep track of all your homework.It can help you arrange it in a particular order according to types,or based on deadlines.
Homework Helper
Chinese Internet search company Baidu has launched an app called Homework Helper with which students can get answers to homework.Users post a picture or type their homework questions onto online forum (论坛),and those who answer the questions can win e﹣coins that can be used to buy devices like laptops.The app has logged 5 million downloads,much to the concern of many parents who argue that the students spend less time thinking about challenging problems.
WolframAlpha

A.It can't recognize pictures.
B.It doesn't provide a step﹣by﹣step solution.

【答案】见试题解答内容
【分析】这是一篇应用文。在教育技术领域,一些应用程序可能变得过于智能了。有越来越多的应用程序为学生提供帮助。文章介绍了其中的几款应用程序。
【解答】(1)细节理解题。根据第二段It is because students can use it to cheat when doing their math homework.(这是因为学生在做数学作业时可以用它来作弊。)可知,公众对PhotoMath应用程序的担忧是这使得在家庭作业中作弊更容易发生。故选C。
(2)推理判断题。根据第四段The app has logged 5 million downloads,much to the concern of many parents who argue that the students spend less time thinking about challenging problems.(这款应用的下载量达到了500万次,这让许多家长感到担忧,他们认为学生们花在思考具有挑战性问题上的时间更少了。)可知,许多家长认为家庭作业帮手对孩子的学习有害。故选C。

【点评】一、速读全文,了解大意知主题。
阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力,考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读,搜寻关键词、主题句,捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点,并且理清文章脉络,把握语篇实质。
二、看题干,带着问题读文章。
首先要掌握问题的类型,客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案;而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等,这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次,了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息,然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读,对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性,提高了做题的准确率。
三、逻辑推理,做好深层理解题。
在实际阅读中,有时作者并未把意图说出来,阅读者要根据字面意思,通过语篇逻辑关系,研究细节的暗示,推敲作者的态度,理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理,不能就事论事,以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有:infer,imply,suggest,indicate等。
四、猜词悟义,扫除阅读拦路虎。
猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文,而且要有较大的泛读量,掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜",通过构词,语法,定义,同位,对比,因果,常识,上下文等线索确定词义。
