concerns of business leaders and teachers.The experts said more students should have to pass a writing test before they can finish high school.They pointed out that major college entrance tests are changing now to include a writing part.Educators know that teaching students to write well is not easy.One problem is the amount of time needed to read through large amounts of work.So some companies have developed computer programs.These can grade student writing much more quickly than a person can.Writing tests can also cost less to administer by computer than by paperandpencil.These computer systems are known as ereaders.They use artificial intelligence to think in a way like teachers.In the state of Indiana，computer grading of a statewide writing test began with a test of the system itself.For two years，both a computer and humans graded the student writing.Officials say there was almost no difference between the computer grades and those given by the human readers.The entrance test commonly used by business schools，the GMAT，already uses ereaders.The GRE and TOEFL tests might start；officials are deciding.The GRE is the Graduate Record Examination.TOEFL is the Test of English as a Foreign Language.Systems are also being used to grade writing in college classes.The computers read a few hundred examples of student writing already graded by humans.Then the systems compare new essays against those already examined.How do teachers feel about all this？Many say machines can never do the job as well as people can.A computer can find spelling and grammar mistakes.But these teachers say it can never really understand what a writer is trying to say.Critics say a program cannot follow a thought or judge humor or understand a beautifully expressed idea.But inventors of the programs say computer grading guarantees that each piece of writing is graded in the same way.They also say the systems are meant to judge knowledge more than creativity.1.What do the teachers think of the computer systems?A.They think highly of the computer systems.B.They think that computers cannot grade writing as well as people.C.They believe that computers can understand a writers idea well.D.They are glad computers will spare their effort to correct students schoolwork.答案B解析细节理解题。根据文章的倒数第二段可以得出正确答案。2.What can we conclude from Paragraph 1?A.American students writing ability is being improved.B.American students writing ability is not satisfactory.C.Business leaders and teachers are not worried about students writing.D.All college entrance tests will include a writing part.答案B解析推理判断题。根据第一段的第一句可知美国学生的写作水平普遍不高，据此可判断正确答案为B项。3.Which of the following is NOT the advantage of ereaders?A.Saving much of teachers time.B.Saving a lot of money.C.Being fair and objective.D.Appreciating humor and beauty.答案D解析细节理解题。根据倒数第二段可知，电脑给作文打分时不会欣赏文章中的幽默和美感，因此选项D不是电脑评分的优点。细读第二段和最后一段可以判断，其他三项都是电脑评分的优点。4.The best title for this passage might be .A.ComputerGraded WritingB.HumanGraded WritingC.How to Improve Students WritingD.Advantages of Ereaders答案A解析标题归纳题。短文主要介绍了美国将要实施用计算机给学生的写作练习打分的计划，A项概括了全文内容。
