【題目】閱讀理解。

The kids in this village wear dirty,ragged clothes.They sleep beside cows and sheep in huts made of sticks and mud.They have no school.Yet they all can chant the English alphabet,and some can make words.

The key to their success:20 tablet computers(平板電腦) dropped off in their Ethiopian village in February by a U.S.group called One Laptop Per Child.

The goal is to find out whether kids using today’s new technology can teach themselves to read in places where no schools or teachers exist.The Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers analyzing the project data say they’re already amazed.“What I think has already happened is that the kids have already learned more than they would have in one year of kindergarten,”said Matt Keller,who runs the Ethiopia program.

The fastest learner—and the first to turn on one of the tablets—is 8-year-old Kelbesa Negusse.The device’s camera was disabled to save memory,yet within weeks Kelbesa had figured out its workings and made the camera work.He called himself a lion,a marker of accomplishment in Ethiopia.

With his tablet,Kelbesa rearranged the letters HSROE into one of the many English animal names he knows.Then he spelled words on his own.“Seven months ago he didn’t know any English.That’s unbelievable,”said Keller.

The project aims to get kids to a stage called “deep reading,”where they can read to learn.It won’t be in Amharic,Ethiopia’s first language,but in English,which is widely seen as the ticket to higher paying jobs.

【1】How does the Ethiopia program benefit the kids in the village?

A.It trains teachers for them.

B.It contributes to their self-study.

C.It helps raise their living standards.

D.It provides funds for building schools.

【2】What can we infer from Keller’s words in Paragraph 3?

A.They need more time to analyze data.

B.More children are needed for the research.

C.He is confident about the future of the project.

D.The research should be carried out in kindergartens.

【3】It amazed Keller that with the tablet Kelbesa could .

A.learn English words quickly

B.draw pictures of animals

C.write letters to researchers

D.make phone calls to his friends

【4】What is the aim of the project?

A.To offer Ethiopians higher paying jobs.

B.To make Amharic widely used in the world.

C.To help Ethiopian kids read to learn in English.

D.To assist Ethiopians in learning their first language.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】C

【3】A

【4】C

【解析】

試題分析:

【1】根據(jù)第三段第一句“The goal is to find out whether kids using today’s new technology can teach themselves to read in places where no schools or teachers exist.”可知,這個(gè)項(xiàng)目的目標(biāo)是看一看在沒有學(xué)校和老師的地方,使用新技術(shù)的孩子是否能夠通過自學(xué)學(xué)會(huì)閱讀。故B項(xiàng)正確。

【2】根據(jù)文章第三段中凱勒的話可知,事實(shí)證明,通過這個(gè)項(xiàng)目,孩子們學(xué)到的知識(shí)比他們在幼兒園待一年學(xué)到的還多。因此他對這個(gè)項(xiàng)目的前景是充滿信心的,故選C項(xiàng)。

【3】根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段第二句“Then he spelled words on his own.”和其末尾凱勒所說的“Seven months ago he didn’t know any English.That’s unbelievable...”可知,七個(gè)月前Kelbesa不懂英語,而現(xiàn)在可以重新排列字母HSROE,把它們重新組合成自己所知道的一種動(dòng)物的名字,然后自己拼寫單詞,因此A項(xiàng)正確。

【4】根據(jù)最后一段可知這個(gè)項(xiàng)目旨在讓埃塞俄比亞的孩子們通過深度閱讀達(dá)到學(xué)習(xí)英語的目的,故選C項(xiàng)。

【題目】There are stories about two U.S. presidents, Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren, which attempt to explain the American English term OK. We don’t know if either story is true，but they are both interesting.

The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education. In fact，he had difficulty reading and writing. When important papers came to Jackson，he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said. If he approved of a paper, he would write “all correct” on it. The problem was that he didn’t know how to spell. So what he really wrote was “ol korekt”. After a while，he shortened that term to “OK”.

The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren was born，Kinderhook，New York. Van Bnren’s friends organized a club to help him become President They caned the club the Old Kinderhook Club，and anyone who supported Van Buren was called “OK”.

Some people also do voluntary community work on this day, as a way of paying back．
