Nowadays, our society is being reshaped by information technologies—computers, telecommunications networks, and other digital systems. Of course, our society has gone through other periods of dramatic change before, driven by such innovations as the steam engine, railroad, telephone, and automobile. But never before have we experienced technologies that are evolving so rapidly, altering the constraints of time and space, and reshaping the way we communicate, learn, and think.
The rapid development of digital technologies creates not only more opportunities for the society but challenges to it as well. Institutions of every stripe are grappling to respond by adapting their strategies and activities. It is no exaggeration to say that information technology is completely changing the relationship between people and knowledge.
But ironically, at the most knowledge-based entities—the colleges and universities—the pace of transformation has been relatively modest. Although research has been transformed by information technology in many ways, and it is increasingly used for student and faculty communications, other higher-education functions have remained almost unchanged. For example, teaching largely continues to follow a classroom-centered, seat-based paradigm. However, some major technology-aided teaching experiments are emerging, and some factors suggest that digital technologies may e-ventually drive significant change throughout academia.
American academia has undergone significant change before. The establishment of secular education began during the 18th century and the Land-Grant College Act of 1862 resulted in another transformation. That Act created institutions serving agriculture and industries; academia was no longer just for the wealthy but charged with providing educational opportunities to the working class as well. Around the year of 1900, the introduction of graduate education began to expand the role of the university in training students for careers both scholarly and professional.
Higher education has already experienced significant technology-based change, even if it currently lags other sectors in some areas. We expect that the new technology will eventually impose a profound impact on university’ s teaching by freeing the classroom from its physical and temporal bounds and by providing students with access to original source materials and that new learning communities driven by information technology will allow universities to better teach students how to be critical analyzers and consumers of information.
The information society has greatly expanded the need for university-level education; lifelong learning is not only a private good for those who pursue it but also a social good in terms of our nation’ s ability to maintain a vibrant democracy and support a competitive workforce.
Which of the followings does not belong to information technologies?
选项
A、Laptop
B、Telephone
C、Telecommunication networks.
D、Digital systems.
答案
B
解析
本题要求考生在通读第一段的基础上进行判断。由第一段第一句“Nowadays,our society is being reshaped by informationtechnologies—computers,telecommunications networks,and otherdigital systems.(现在,信息技术——计算机,电信网络和其他数字系统正在重新塑造着我们的社会。)”可知,计算机、电信网络和数字系统都属于信息技术。由第一段第二句“…driven by suchinnovations as the steam engine,railroad,telephone,and automo—bile.(…由蒸汽机、铁路、电话、汽车等发明驱动,经历了巨大变化。)”可知,电话不属于信息技术。所以,本题选择B。
