【题目】阅读理解。

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,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】

试题分析:

【1】根据第三段第一句“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,这个项目的目标是看一看在没有学校和老师的地方,使用新技术的孩子是否能够通过自学学会阅读。故B项正确。

【2】根据文章第三段中凯勒的话可知,事实证明,通过这个项目,孩子们学到的知识比他们在幼儿园待一年学到的还多。因此他对这个项目的前景是充满信心的,故选C项。

【3】根据倒数第二段第二句“Then he spelled words on his own.”和其末尾凯勒所说的“Seven months ago he didn’t know any English.That’s unbelievable...”可知,七个月前Kelbesa不懂英语,而现在可以重新排列字母HSROE,把它们重新组合成自己所知道的一种动物的名字,然后自己拼写单词,因此A项正确。

【4】根据最后一段可知这个项目旨在让埃塞俄比亚的孩子们通过深度阅读达到学习英语的目的,故选C项。
