试题分析: 本文属于广告类文体。主要内容是招募愿意帮助有学习障碍的志愿工作者。在广告中提到了招募的志愿者的职位是Volunteer Social Care Assistant ,志愿者将要工作的时间,地点,待遇(没有报酬但是提供免费饭菜),以及对申请人员的具体要求和工作内容,同时要求志愿者需要有爱心,而且有类似的工作经验的人会优先录用。

1.考查推理判断。文章开头以自问自答的方式向人们发出号召,让人们参与到志愿活动中,然后在下文详细介绍了志愿者工作的地点、时间、任务、要求等,由此可知文章主要目的是宣传这项工作,故答案选D。

2.考查词义猜测。在文章开头作者提出问题:你希望通过你的工作而使别人的生活有所改变吗?然后鼓励人们加入进来,由此判断加入进来后就会实现自己的愿望,即通过自己的工作让别人的生活更加有意义,故答案选A。此题易误选答案为D,make it 意思是“成功地做到或得到”因为开头作者只是问读者是否想获得工作中的满足感,而没有提出这是一份工作招聘信息,所以D选项错误。

3.考查细节理解。根据文章倒数第二段内容:But your primary concern is to let them know they are valued 可知志愿者们除了帮助保护智障患者的安全外,最重要的任务就是让那些被帮助的人感到自身的价值和重要性,故答案选D。

4. 考查细节理解。根据文章末段的小标题Skill and Experience Required.和末段中 Previous care-related experience will be a great advantage for you. 可知有先前类似经验的人在申请这项工作时会优先得到录用,故答案选B。

考点:考查广告布告类短文阅读。

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(平板电脑) 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, Kelbasa 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.

Last December, Doris Low turned 90. Once a week she still drives to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) in Toronto, where she helps transform literature into Braille() to bring the power of story and knowledge to the hears and minds of blind readers. She has been volunteering her time and talents to such enterprises foe more than 40 years.

After working in the business world for a while, Low got fed up. So she turned to teaching at a technical school and later moved into the library.

Low’s mother liked reading. As her eyes began to fail, low read to her. Then “ hearing an advertisement encouraging people to learn Braille, I decided to give it a try.” In 1973, she was certified as a braille transcriber (转译者) and began transcribing books as a volunteer for the CNIB library.

The job was strenuous ---she could get to the end of a page, make a mistake on the last line, and have to do the whole thing again. For a number of years, low also worked in the CNIB sound studio reading books onto tape. Three years ago, she took up proofreading (校对) at the CNIB’s word factory.

In April, during Volunteer Week, the CNIB recognized Low for her great contributions. Thanks to volunteers like Low, the CNIB library has got more than 80,000 accessible materials for people unable to read traditional print. “ I can’t imagine how many readers of all ages have benefited from

Doris’s contribution as a skilled volunteer through her rich voice and her high degree of accuracy in the hundreds of books she has brailled and proofread over the years--- and she is still doing so,” said a CNIB official.

“For me,” said Low, “the CNIB is more than just a place to volunteer. Three thins matter most in my life: a little play, a little work, a little love. I’ve found them all here.”

1.What does Low still do at the age of 90 at the CNIB? ( no more than 10 words)

2.Why did Low learn Braille? ( no more than 15 words)

3.what does the underlined word “strenuous” most probably mean?(1 word)

4.What are Low’s contributions to the CNIB? ( no more than 10 words)

5.What do you think of Low? Give your reasons. ( no more than 20 words)
