试题答案： 答案解析：The university is putting limit on the amount of printing papers used in the computer lab. Because students complain about the waste of papers and the printers often get stuck with papers. However, the woman doesn’t stand up for the policy made by the university. First, she argues that students never intentionally waste papers. They actually can’t tell what’s the most useful or important resource before printing. So they just print out everything in case they don’t miss anything important. Also, she points out that the current printing machines are outdated and can not work properly, and that is why papers often get stuck in the machine. If the old equipments are upgraded to a more efficient one, there would be no more breakdowns due to frequent usage. [听力原文] W: Can you believe this The computer lab is putting a limit on the usage of printing paper. M: I heard that many students write letters to complain about the waste of paper in the lab. W: Oh, they just don’t see where the real problem is. It is not our real intention to waste paper, at least not deliberately. It is because students don’t have a clear sense as for how to make use of their learning material. After downloading materials from the internet, students can not tell which are useful and which are not. In case they miss some important documents, they just print all documents out. M: You are right. Students don’t have the time and the ability to immediately decide which resources are needed to be printed and which not. However, the printer often meets jams when printing frequently. W: The malfunction of the printer is due to the fact that our printer is too old to work smoothly. If a new printer was installed, there wouldn’t be so many jams as we have at present. document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
