67、ncapable of creative thinking.答案与解析【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。随着计算机科学的发展,电脑越来越多地被应用到课堂教学中。电脑虽然擅长重复工作,但是没有创造能力。老师的地位仍然和从前一样,是课堂教学的组织者和指导者。36.E根据空前一句可知,尽管老师几乎没有变化,但是电脑的运行速度和容量每四年就会翻倍;根据后一句可知,至少我认为老师的作用仍然很重要。据此可推知,空处表示人们会对教师是否如先前一样重要产生怀疑,故E项符合语境。37.G根据空后可知,不管电脑多先进,但是它们只是人们的发明,用来完成一些特定的任务。据此可知,空处应是介绍电脑的特点,即电脑擅长处理重复
68、性的工作,但是没有创造性思维,故G项正确。38.D根据空后可知,一位优秀的老师应当能组织和鼓励学生。据此可推知,空处应是对优秀老师的标准的论述,即好老师不仅仅是百科全书,故D项正确。39.B根据空前可知,老师应当观察学生态度的改变,当他们表现出没有耐心或沮丧的迹象时应当及时回应并鼓励他们,即该处陈述的是师生之间的互动。据此可知,空处应当陈述这种师生互动的重要性,故B项正确。40.F根据空前可知,尽管电脑在课堂上被推广使用,但是老师的地位仍然和以前一样重要。据此可知,空处与此对应,总结全文,说明电脑的局限性使电脑不可能在课堂上取代老师,故F项正确。第三部分语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共
