Teachers say the digital (数字的) age has had a good and a not-so-good influence on the American teenagers. More than 2,000 high school teachers took a survey on the Internet.

      75 percent of the teachers said the Internet and digital search tools have had a “mostly good” use for their students' research habits and skills. But 87 percent agreed that these technologies "make the students not have enough attention.” And 64 percent said the technologies “do little to help them in courses.”

     Judy Buchanan is a director of the National Writing Project. Ms. Buchanan says digital research tools are helping students learn more, and learn faster. Teachers really like these tools, because they are ways to make some of learning very exciting. Young people enjoy using these tools. And the goal is to help them do creative work, and not just that kind of copyist (模仿者，抄写员).

     But one problem is that many students don't have a good understanding of how to use the digital knowledge well. In other words, they trust too much of the information. Judy Buchanan says these students have not developed the skills they need to tell whether the information on the Internet is good or bad.

      Another problem is something that might not seem like a problem at all, being able to quickly find information from the Internet. Teachers say the ability of their students to work hard to find answers is becoming weaker. They say students depend too much on search engines and do not make enough use of printed books.

Besides, many teachers are also worried about the problem that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by others, instead of using their own abilities.

【解析】

试题分析：这篇文章主要叙述了互联网和数字搜索工具对学生的学习习惯的影响。通过调查发现三个问题：一是许多学生缺乏数字素养。换句话说，他们过于相信互联网上找到的信息。二是学生们能够在网上快速找到信息，学生们过于依赖搜索引擎，没有很好地利用印刷书籍或图书馆。三是互联网使得学生更容易抄袭他人成果，而不是发挥自己的能力。

1.affects句意：数字时代是否对美国青少年产生影响的调查。根据短文中的句子“Teachers say the digital (数字的) age has had a good and a not-so-good influence on the American teenagers.”为主题句，介绍了该调查结果，即老师们认为数字时代对这一代的美国青少年既有好的影响，也有不好的影响。此句缺少动词，故答案为affects。

2.quarters/ fourths 句意：四分之三的教师认为互联网于对学生的学习习惯和技能有利。根据短文中的句子“75 percent of the teachers said the Internet and digital search tools have had a “mostly good” use for their students' research habits and skills.”75 percent等同于three quarters/ fourths

3.stop/prevent/ keep句意：87%的教师同意这些技术可能会阻止学生产生足够的注意力。根据短文中的句子But 87 percent agreed that these technologies "make the students not have enough attention.” 但87%的同意，这些技术使学生没有足够的注意力。stop/prevent/ keep sb. from doing sth.阻止某人做某事。答案为stop/prevent/ keep。

4.helpless句意：64%的人说，这些技术对他们的课程几乎没有任何帮助。根据短文中的句子And 64 percent said the technologies “do little to help them in courses.” be hopeless to sb.对某人没有帮助。结合句意可知，答案为helpless。

5.excited句意：教师认为使用数字工具学习会使学生感到非常兴奋。根据短文中的句子“Teachers really like these tools, because they are ways to make some of learning very exciting.”exciting修饰物，excited修饰人。故答案为excited。

6.creatively句意：年轻人还认为他们可以创造性地完成他们的工作。根据短文中的句子“And the goal is to help them do creative work” 我们的目标是帮助他们做创造性的工作。副词修饰动词，故答案为creatively。

7.Problems / Disadvantage句意：问题/缺点。根据表格上一栏的内容“Advantages of digital tools”可知，答案为Problems / Disadvantage。

8.online句意：许多学生还没有建立数字化信息的认识技能来判断信息在互联网上是好还是坏。根据短文中的句子“Judy Buchanan says these students have not developed the skills they need to tell whether the information on the Internet is good or bad.”可知，答案为online。

9.depend句意：许多学生过于依赖搜索引擎，没有很好地利用印刷书籍。根据短文中的句子“They say students depend too much on search engines and do not make enough use of printed books.”可知，答案为depend。

10.others’ 句意：互联网使学生很容易复制别人的作品，而不是使用自己的能力。根据短文中的句子“Besides, many teachers are also worried about the problem that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by others, instead of using their own abilities.”此处要用名词所有格的形式，答案为others’
