　　阅读理解：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项．

　　What will the classroom look like in the years to come? Will teachers disappear, to be replaced by learning machines? Will children need to go to school at all, when technology can deliver the learning experience to their laptop (便携式电脑)?

　　The government is showing a keen interest in such issues. It's even given Southwark 7.5 million pounds to up-date Kingsdale School, where the brief includes plans to use space more creatively. And then there's the Classroom of the Future project. A dozen local education authorities(权威) in England are spending 10 million pounds obtained from Gordon Brown's cash to develop rooms that will, as the government hopes, “shape design of classrooms in the future.”

　　“We've been given a free hand, ” says Mark Dudek, an architect with the Education Design Group. He's been working with Yewlands School in Sheffield, a tough comprehensive school where the building will have to stand up to some sufficient(充足的) usage. “What we have in mind will allow different groups of children to work at their own pace in their own areas.”

　　It's a point made by mast of the schools involved in the project. The Devon Classroom of the Future will be built at Chulmleigh School, one of the most isolated(偏远的) schools in the country.

　　“In reality technology will disappear,” says Chulmleigh headteacher Barrie Cooper. “It will become old-fashioned. This is as much about environment and atmosphere as it is about blackboards. We want to create a space for learning. For me that's the vision of the furniture, space that can be used in different ways.” And he is against the vision of the laptop-delivered learning experience that makes the school obsolete(过时的).

1．From Paragraph 2, we can see the government's keen interest is________.

[　　]

A．creating new teaching methods

B．delivering the learning experience to laptop

C．designing new classrooms for the future

D．repairing old schools like Kingsdale School

2．What does Mark Dudek mean by saying “We've been given a free hand” in Paragraph 3?

[　　]

A．Their hands are not tied by ropes.

B．They can go everywhere they want.

C．They are given full freedom in designing.

D．They are offered enough money in designing.

3．What is the point made by most of the schools involved in the project?

[　　]

A．Making use of advanced technology to change traditional teaching methods.

B．Making use of advanced technology to replace traditional classrooms.

C．Giving the researchers a free hand to design new classrooms.

D．Designing new classrooms with multiple functions and suitable for different pupils.

4．As for the idea of all students learning by Internet only, we can infer Barrie Cooper may consider it ________.

John von Neumann was the oldest of 3 children of an banker, and his speed of learning new ideas and solving problems stood out early. At 17, his father tired to persuade him not to become a mathematician because he may lead a poor life being a mathematician, and so von Neumann agreed to study chemistry as well. In 1926, at 23, he received a degree in chemical engineering and a Ph.D. in mathematics. From then on, mathematics provided well enough for him, and he never had to turn to chemistry.

In 1930, von Neumann visited Princeton University for a year and then became a professor there. His first book was published in 1932. In 1933, the Institute for Advanced Study was formed, and he became one of the 6 full-time people in the School of Mathematics（Einstein was one of the others）

World War Ⅱ hugely changed von Neumann's areas of interest. Until 1940 he had been a great pure mathematician. During and after the war, he became one of the best mathematicians who put mathematics theories into practice. During the last part of the war he became interested in computing machines and made several fundamental contributions After the war, von Neumann continued his work with computers, and was generally very active in government service. He received many awards, was president of the American Mathematical Society and was a member of the Atomic Energy Commission. He died in 1957 of cancer.

    Von Neumann made several great contributions and any one of them would have been enough to earn him a firm place in history. He will be remembered as one of the greatest minds of the 20th century.

    Von Neumann really was a legend in his own time, and there are a number of stories about him. His driving ability is a part of his legend.
