Passage One
Teachers say the digital age has had a good influence—and a not-so-good influence—on this generation of American teenagers. More than 2,000 middle and high school teachers took an online survey. Researchers also spoke with teachers in focus groups. (9) Three-quarters of the teachers said the Internet and digital search tools have had a positive effect on their students' research habits and skills. But 87 percent agreed that these technologies are creating an "easily distracted generation with short attention spans." And 64 percent said the technologies "do more to distract students than to help them academically." Many students think "doing research" now means just doing a quick search on Google.
Judy Buchanan is deputy director of the National Writing Project and a co-author of the report. She says, "Teachers really like these tools because they are ways to make some of learning exciting and engaging. (10) Young people love these tools, which can help them become creators of content, and not just sort of consumers."
(11) But one problem the survey found is that many students are lacking in digital literacy. In other words, they trust too much of the information they find on the Internet. Judy Buchanan says these students have not developed the skills they need to judge the quality of online information. Another problem is blamed on something that might not seem like a problem at all: being able to quickly find information online. (12) Teachers say the result is a reduction of the desire and ability of their students to work hard to find answers. They say students are overly dependent on search engines and do not make enough use of printed books or research librarians.
Many teachers are also concerned that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by others instead of using their own abilities.
9. How do three-quarters of the teachers think about the Internet and digital search tools?
10. According to Judy Buchanan, why do young people like the Internet tools?
11. According to the survey, what ability do many students lack when facing the Internet?
12. According to the passage, what is the problem of finding information online quickly?
文章一
教师认为数字时代对当代美国青少年有着积极的，但不是完全积极的影响。超过2000名初、高中教师接受了网络调查。调查人员还与教师进行了小组座谈。四分之三的教师认为互联网和搜索工具对学生的研究习惯和技巧起到了积极的作用。但是87%的人认为这些新科技创造出的一代人注意力能够保持时间变短。64%的人认为比起对学生学业上的帮助这种科技更多的是令学生分心。很多学生认为“做研究”就是在谷歌上进行一次快速搜索。
国家写作计划项目副主管朱迪·布坎南是这份报告的合著者。她说：“老师们非常喜欢这些工具是因为它们能让学习变得更刺激，更有吸引力。年轻人喜欢这些工具是因为他们成为了网络信息的创造者，而不仅仅是使用者。
但是这项调查发现的一个问题是很多学生缺乏信息素养。换句话说就是，他们太过相信网络上的信息。朱迪·布坎南说这些学生还没有具备判断网络上信息质量的能力。研究还发现了一个不像问题的问题，那就是在网上能够快速找到信息。教师们说这造成的结果是学生们努力寻求答案的欲望和能力的降低。他们说学生们过度依赖搜索引擎，不能充分利用纸质书籍和图书管理员。
很多老师还担心网络更方便学生们抄袭他人的劳动成果，而不依靠自己的能力。
问题9 四分之三的教师对互联网和数字搜索工具的看法是什么？
问题10 根据朱迪·布坎南的观点，年轻人为什么喜欢互联网工具？
问题11 根据这项调查，很多学生在使用互联网时缺乏什么能力？
问题12 根据短文，在网上能够快速找到信息存在什么问题？
