California has a new program called the Digital Textbook Initiative. "Starting this fall with high school math and science, we will be the first state in the nation — the first state in the nation — to provide schools with a state-approved list of digital textbooks." That was Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in June, talking about his effort to get schools to use materials available free online. He listed reasons why he thinks digital textbooks make sense.
California approves traditional textbooks in six-year cycles. Digital ones can offer the latest information. They lighten the load of school bags. They save paper and trees, and make learning more fun and interactive. And above all, he said, they help schools with their finances.
The state has had to make severe cuts in school spending because of deep financial problems. More than six million students attend California public schools.
Earlier this year, California invited content developers to offer digital math and science materials for high schools. These had to meet at least ninety percent of the state’s learning requirements. Specially trained teachers examined 16 textbooks and approved ten of them.
Six of the ten were published by the CK12 Foundation. Co-founder Neeru Khosla says the nonprofit group had been developing digital science and math books for about two years. The foundation paid teachers and other education professionals to write and edit them. The money came from a group financed by the Khosla family. The AMAR Foundation also supports projects in India.
California cannot require schools to use the digital textbooks. Individual school districts will have to decide for themselves.
Susan Martimo, a California Department of Education official, says she does not expect widespread use right away. Her best guess is that some schools with a lot of technology will be the first to use them, but only in addition to their traditional books.
School administrators point out that the texts may be free online, but students need a way to access them. Not everyone has a computer or electronic reader. Schools could print out copies, but that would not help the environment. Also, there is the cost to train teachers to use digital textbooks effectively.
According to Susan Martimo, digital textbooks______.
选项
A、are not likely to have a widespread use
B、will soon replace traditional ones
C、will first be adopted by well-equipped schools
D、are certain to be approved by school districts
答案
C
解析
倒数第二段第二句提到,Susan Martimo最好的猜测是,拥有大量技术的一些学校将会首先使用它们,但它们只是传统课本的补充,由此可知,答案为[C],同时排除[B]。根据she does not expect widespread use right away可排除[A]。[D]是针对第六段设的干扰项。
