Perhaps this will be true one day, but if the world has no schools, I cant imagine how our society will be. In fact, we should learn how to use new technology to make schools better. We should invent a new kind of school connected to libraries, museums, science centers, labs and even companies. Technological companies should create learning programs for schools. Scientists could give talks through the Internet. TV networks and local stations could develop programs about things students are studying in school. Labs could set up websites to show new technology, so students could see it on the Internet.Is this a dream? No. There have been many cities where this is beginning to happen. Here the whole city is connected to the Internet, and learning can take place at home, at school, and in the office. Businesses provide programs for the schools and the society. The schools provide computer labs for people without their own computers at home. Because everyone can go on the Internet, older people use it as much as younger ones, and everyone can visit faraway libraries and museums as easily as nearby ones. How will this new thing of school change the usual way of learning? It is a little early to be sure, but it is very exciting to think about it. Technology will change the way we learn; schools will change as well; and we will learn something from the Internet.（1）Who thinks that students wont have to go to school?A . Everyone.B . The writer.C . Some peopleD . The teachers.（2）What does a new kind of schoolmean in the passage?A . A school with many new computers.B . A school with many new students.C . A school with many new teachers.D . A school connected to the Internet.（3）What the writer thinks is that_.A . schools are still necessaryB . more schools should be builtC . there should be fewer schoolsD . more computers are needed in schools（4）Why do people think learning can take place at home, at school, and in the office?A . Because whole city is connected to the Internet.B . Because everyone can go on the Internet.C . Because getting online is very easyD . Because Scientists could give talks through the Internet.（5）What fact does the passage NOT provide?A . Technology will change our way of learningB . If you are a student, you can set up websites to show new technology.C . The schools provide computer labs for those who have no personal computersD . On the Internet, you can visit another citys libraries as easily as the people there.7. （10分）阅读理解 Some years ago on a hot summer day in South Florida a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming lake behind his house.In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out the back door, leaving behind his shoes, socks, and shirt as he went.
