In August 2004, Duke University provided free iPods to its entire freshman class. The next month, a Korean education firm offered free downloadable college entrance exam lectures to students who purchased an iRiver personal multimedia player. That October, a financial trading firm in Chicago was reportedly assessing the hand-eye coordination of traders’ using GameBoys. Yet while such innovative applications abound, the use of technology in education and training is far from new, a fact as true in language classrooms as it is in medical schools.
Practically since their availability, a succession of audiovisual recording devices(e. g. , reel-to-reel, VCRs, PCs)has been used to capture language samples, and myriad playback and broadcast devices(e. g. , phonographs, radios, televisions)have provided access to authentic speech samples. The espousal of audiolingual theory in the 1950s brought the widespread use of the language laboratory in educational settings. Influenced by behaviorism, the lab was progressively replaced in the 1960s by drill-based computer-assisted instruction, which decades later was itself surpassed by a more intelligent, interactive and multimedia computer-assisted language learning. The popular acceptance of the Internet in the 1990s advanced the development of computer-mediated communications.
As technologies continue to evolve, so does their propensity to shrink in size. "Other technologies that hold the capacity for language learning include PDAs, multimedia cellular phones, MP3 players, DVD players, and digital dictionaries. " Such portable media — referred to in popular and scholarly literature as mobile, wireless, handheld or nomadic — are now social staples. Mobile learning, or m-learning, is a burgeoning subdivision of the e-learning movement, further evidenced by European initiatives such as m-learning and Mobilearn. In this paper, applied fusions of m-learning and language learning follow, after which their benefits and challenges are reviewed.
The word "espousal" in paragraph two can be best replaced by______.
选项
A、advocate
B、support
C、idea
D、perception
答案
B
解析
语义题。根据题干信息定位到原文第二段第二句。根据原句中的widespread use判定,espousal意为“拥护;信奉”,与support(支持)意思相近。故答案为B。选项中的advocate作名词,意为“提倡者;支持者”,指的是人,故不正确。
