Today’s students have a problem. They were born into a world where smartphones, social media, and

immediate access to the internet are hurting their ability to focus.

Now teachers have a problem too. They find it particularly exhausting to ask students to read complex or long

texts without taking ___11___ breaks. Smartphones have clearly affected the younger generation, but how

education should ___12___ for digital-native students was not something that was ___13___ when they were

getting certified.

A common idea among teachers is that short is good. When students can’t seem to pay attention to long

lectures, many teachers simply ___14___ lessons into smaller chunks. In fact, students need time to ___15___ with

a topic once the teacher introduces it before moving on. Switching between small lessons too quickly could rob

them of valuable ___16___.

A study from educational publisher Pearson found that students aged between 10 and 24 tend to stay away

from ___17___ books. Therefore, some tech-forward teachers choose to “meet kids where they are” on platforms

such as YouTube and Instagram.

Still, while those educators are embracing technology in the classroom to meet students’ needs, they are also

finding value in traditional methods, and so suggest a mixed learning approach. Direct ___18___ from them will

never be replaced in their classes. Technology will be ___19___ only when it improves a lesson in ways that are

impossible offline.

Teachers are making an effort not only to ensure that students take advantage of new technologies

but to

teach students valuable skills that can help them succeed in a world constantly trying to ___20___ them.

People using ad-blocking software who visited the New York Times website in March were shown a message.

This read: “The best things in life aren’t ___21___.” It went on to explain that, “Advertising helps us fund our

journalism,” and gave the visitor two options to read the newspaper’s online content: ___22___ their ad-blocking

software or pay for a subscription.

Despite many internet users’ opposition, a number of publishers are now banning ad-blocking software. Aidan

Joyce, chief executive of Oriel, says, “Most ad-blocking users do not object to a reasonable advertising experience

___23___ quality free content.” Mark Thompson, the group’s chief executive, said, “Anyone who refuses to

contribute to the creation of high-quality journalism has no right to ___24___ it.”

To satisfy people who hate advertising, the news organization plans to introduce a higher-priced,

advertisement-free ___25___. Ben Barokas, chief executive of Sourcepoint, thinks that media groups should offer

consumers a range of different ways to ___26___ content, including for-free with ads, micropayments and

subscriptions.

However, Sean Blanchfield, chief executive of PageFair, argues that publishers need to exercise care in how

they ban ad blockers. “Users have justifiable concerns,” he says. “Ads that are served today have serious privacy

and security problems.” Mr. Blanchfield says that PageFair aims to help publishers. “___27___ the advertising

experience in a way that the typical ad-block user wouldn’t find offensive.”

Publishers that ban ad blockers also risk losing their audience to competitors that turn out more ___28___. In

some ways, that matters little. But internet users are not just ___29___ consumers; Instead, they often help

distribute a publisher’s content by sharing links with friends through email, forums, and social media.

More than half of U.K. adults using an ad blocker said that they would switch it off if doing so was the only

way to access a website, according to a survey by YouGov. Meanwhile, Sweden’s biggest publishers will

____30____ block people next month who use ad-blocking software. The idea is that they will be able to turn the

ad-blocking tide with a combined effort.

21. A. equal B. free C. essential D. absolute

22. A. download B. update C. purchase D. disable

23. A. in place of B. in response to C. in search of D. in return for

24. A. consume B. block C. modify D. oppose

25. A. application B. qualification C. protection D. subscription

A. create B. access C. evaluate D. distribute

27. A. broaden B. acquire C. embrace D. redefine

28. A. innovative B. generous C. adaptable D. committed

29. A. passive B. regular C. prospective D. selective

30. A. secretly B. cautiously C. permanently D. collectively

(16%)

(A)

I was dirty, smelly, hungry and somewhere beneath all that, suntanned. It was the end of an Inter-Rail (欧洲旅

游火车通票) holiday. My body couldn’t take any more punishment. My mind couldn’t deal with any more foreign

timetables, currencies or languages.

“Never again,” I said, as I stepped onto home ground. I said exactly the same thing the following year. And the

next. All I had to do was buy one train ticket and, because I was under twenty-five years old, I could spend a whole
