It’s true that high-school coding classes aren’t essential for learning computer science in college. Students without experience can catch up after a few introductory courses, said Tom Cortina, the assistant dean at Carnegie Mellon’s School of Computer Science.
However, Cortina said, early exposure is beneficial. When younger kids learn computer science , they learn that it’s not just a confusing, endless string of letters and numbers—but a tool to build apps, or creat artwork, or test hypotheses. It’s not as hard for them to transform their thought processes as it is for older students. Breaking down problems into bite-sized chunks and using code to solve them becomes normal. Giving more children this training could increase the number of people interested in the field and help fill the jobs gap, Cortina said.
Students also benefit from learning something about coding before they get to college, where introductory computer-science classes are packed to the brim, which can drive the less-experienced or -determined students away.
The Flatiron School, where people pay to learn programming, started as one of the many coding bootcamps that’s become popular for adults looking for a career change. The high-schoolers get the same curriculum, but " we try to gear lessons toward things they’re interested in," said Victoria Friedman, an instructor. For instance, one of the apps the students are developing suggests movies based on your mood.
The students in the Flatiron class probably won’t drop out of high school and build the next Fa-cebook. Programming languages have a quick turnover, so the "Ruby on Rails" language they learned may not even be relevant by the time they enter the job market. But the skills they learn— how to think logically through a problem and organize the results—apply to any coding language, said Deborah Seehorn, an education consultant for the state of North Carolina.
Indeed, the Flatiron students might not go into IT at all. But creating a future army of coders is not the sole purpose of the classes. These kids are going to be surrounded by computers—in their pockets, in their offices, in their homes—for the rest of their lives. The younger they learn how computers think, how to coax the machine into producing what they want—the earlier they learn that they have the power to do that—the better.
According to the last paragraph, Flatiron students are expected to______.
选项
A、compete with a future army of programmers
B、stay longer in the information technology industry
C、become better prepared for the digitalized world
D、bring forth innovative computer technologies
答案
C
解析
细节题。题干意思为:根据最后一段,Flatiron的学生预计会怎么样?最后一段大意为:Flatiron的学生可能根本就不会进入IT行业,创造未来的编程师并不是课程唯一的目的。这些孩子的余生都会被计算机环绕着,他们越早了解计算机的想法,越早学会如何让机器按照自己的意愿工作,就能够越早了解到他们有能力这样做。因此根据段落大意可以总结出该题答案为C项:更好地为数字化世界作出准备。替换关系为:the earlier theylearn…the better替换成become better prepared for。
