　　聽(tīng)第10段材料,回答第17至20題。

　　A paperless class means that teachers don’t use paper in or after class.All of the students’ homework is posted on a web page,so for each of their papers or essays they have to write,students can go online and read the descriptions of the homework and all their requirements,and then they can type them up and e-mail them.They can also type them up directly on the web.In this way,a teacher can do all the grading for the papers online.It’s easier for teachers because they can just mark something and make it red.It’s much quicker than the traditional way of circling it and writing “spelling”.Once teachers get into the habit of doing it with a mouse,it goes very quickly,and they can also make comments by changing the color or the size of the words,and type directly.Most of the students like it,but there is a small minority who don’t.When they are late,or whenever they want to just slip a paper under the teacher’s door,they can’t do that,because if their paper is late,the computer doesn’t lie.The delayed papers will be honestly marked out.

　　17.How many ways can a student hand in his homework in a paperless class?

　　A.One. B.Two. C.Three.

　　答案:B

　　18.Traditionally,how can a teacher comment on students’ homework?

　　A.Mark something and make it red.

　　B.Circle something and write “spelling”.

　　C.Change the color or the size of the words.

　　答案:B

　　19.Why do some students dislike the idea of handing in homework online?

　　A.They can slip a paper under the teacher’s door.

　　B.They can’t use the account any more.

　　C.They can’t get away with a delayed paper.

　　答案:C

　　20.What’s the advantage of a paperless class?

　　A.Quicker grading.

　　B.More encouragement.

　　C.Fewer mistakes.

　　答案:A

　　According to the most recent count,more than 6,500 homeless people sleep on the street or in shelters in San Francisco,and there are only eight shower facilities(設(shè)施)specifically available to the homeless,and most of these have just one or two stalls(淋浴間)and aren’t open every day.Now San Francisco-based company Lava Mae,is trying to change that with a simple but smart idea—turning retired city buses into mobile showers for the homeless.The idea known as Lava Mae,is a response to the need of the homeless in the city.

　　It all started two years ago when Sandoval got in a cab after a meeting in the SoMa district of San Francisco,where the homeless mainly lived.“My driver turned around and said,‘Welcome to the land of broken dreams.’” Then Sandoval awoke from her imagination and started to really look at the people around her.“A woman I passed was crying and saying that she would never be clean,”Sandoval said.She took what the woman said as a sign that she should focus on the problem of hygiene(衛(wèi)生),one of the most pressing needs for the homeless.

　　After doing some research,Sandoval hit on the idea of a mobile unit that could be equipped with shower facilities.According to the company’s founder Doniece Sandoval,every bus will be renewed and equipped with two separate private areas,each with a shower stall,sink,changing areas,toilet and bench.Sandoval says that if everyone sticks to a five-minute shower,a single Lava Mae bus could provide service for about 100 people during each 8-to-10-hour shift.

　　The project has been several years in the making as it has not been easy to get officials to agree.In addition,it is also difficult to ask the bus company to donate buses.Now she has reached an agreement with a bus company,which will donate the buses being retired in the next four years.

　　While Lava Mae is now focused on the city of San Francisco,there is no reason that the idea cannot be spread all over the world.
