14．The kids in a village in Ethiopia 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 there are no schools or teachers．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．
19．How does the Ethiopia program benefit the kids in the village？B
A．It trains teachers for them．
B．It helps their self-study．
C．It raises their living standards．
D．It provides funds for building schools．
20．What can we infer from Keller's words in Paragraph 3？C
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．
21．What is the aim of the project？D
A．To offer Ethiopians higher paying jobs．
B．To make Amharic widely used in the world．
C．To assist Ethiopians in learning their first language．
D．To help Ethiopian kids read to learn in English．

分析 本文是一篇調(diào)查研究．講述的是美國一個團體在俄塞俄比亞沒有學校和老師的地方，通過給孩子們20臺平板電腦的方式看使用新技術(shù)的孩子是否能夠教會自己閱讀．這個計劃的目的是讓孩子到達一個"深讀"的階段，他們能通過閱讀來學習．不是學習埃塞俄比亞的官方語言阿姆哈拉語，而是被廣泛認為是獲得高薪工作的"敲門磚"的英語．

解答 BCD
62．B  細節(jié)理解題．通過對文章的閱讀可知，這個計劃的目的是看看孩子們能否再沒有學校和老師的情況下自學，通過這個計劃人們發(fā)現(xiàn)這些孩子會背英文字母表，有的甚至會拼單詞，這說明這個計劃對孩子們的自學是有益的．故選B．
63．C  推理判斷題．Keller認為孩子們自學學到的知識比他們在幼兒園一年學的還多，這說明他對這個計劃的前景是滿懷信心的．故選C．
65．D    細節(jié)理解題．由文章最后一段"The program aims to get kids to a stage called"deep reading"，where they can read to learn．It won't be …but in English．"可知，這個計劃的目的是幫助埃塞俄比亞的孩子學會用英語閱讀．故選D．

點評 考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．

5．For some minutes，all was quiet in the street．Then，from across the street，someone came walking at a slow pace．
It looked like a man of middle height，dressed in a big raincoat，a soft hat and rubber soled boots or shoes，and making little sound while walking：at most a soft，sliding sound．No one was in sight．It was a street with two rows of about fifty small houses，and there were three lamps on either side．The lamp nearest the child's house could be seen clearly，but the others were almost hidden by the smoky air．A car passed the end of the street and its lights showed faintly，but clearly enough the wrinkled skin of a woman's small face．The car disappeared as the woman，wrapped up in her coat，reached the doorway of the child's house．
She put a key into the lock quickly，pushed the door open and stepped inside，then close the door without looking round．She began to breathe hard．
She leaned against the door for a moment，then straightened up as if with an effort，and walked towards the door of the front room，the passage leading to the kitchen，and the narrow staircase．She hesitated outside the door，and then went up the stairs，quickly but with hardly a sound．There was enough light from the narrow hall to show the four doors leading off a small landing．She pushed each door open in turn and shone a torch inside，and the light fell upon beds，walls，furniture，a bathroom band basin，a mirror which flashed brightness back； but this was not what the woman was looking for．She turned away and went downstairs and hesitated again at the foot of the stairs，then turned towards the kitchen．Clearly there was nothing there，or in the small wash-room，that she wanted．Two rooms remained； the front room and a smaller one next to it．She opened the front room door．After a moment，she saw the child's bed and the child．

67．The lights of the car passing the end of the street showed thatA．
A．a(chǎn) woman was walking by herself up the street
B．a(chǎn) man was walking up the street
C．a(chǎn) man was driving by himself up the street
D．a(chǎn) woman was driving the car
68．When she got into the house，the womanB．
A．went upstairs at once           B．seemed tired
C．started breathing again         D．felt excited
69．What the woman was looking for wasD．
A．furniture    B．a(chǎn) bathroom-basin   
C．a(chǎn) room       D．a(chǎn) child
70．From the description above we can see that the woman wasA．

2．What is your relationship like with your mobile phones？Do you use it for calls？Texts，social media，games，apps，internet or all of the above？I use my phone for work，pleasure，and socializing．It's the first thing I pick up in the morning and the last thing I put down before I go to sleep．I even find it hard to put it face-down on the table while eating in fear someone"needs me"．
   In recent years，mobile phones have become a popular part of our lives．In England in the year 2013，that number had jumped to 94 percent．
One reason why this may be the case is that，while in the past，technology was used on the environment it was built for---for example，TV for relaxing or computer in the office---mobile phones have bridged the gap，so we can relax，work or interact wherever and whenever we want．
  No wonder so many of us see our mobile phones as an extension of ourselves and wouldn't dare leave it at home．
  While the number of mobile phone users has climbed，so has the number of people becoming addicted to technology．A study by researchers states，"significant mental and physical disorder，panic，confusion and extreme loneliness when forced to unplug from technology for an entire day．"
  One day of non-usage of technology produced systems similar to drug withdrawal．So why have so many of us been so seduced that we can't stand being without technology？
  Having thought about my own phone usage，I thought to myself，"What would actually happen if I didn't use it？If I didn't connect on social media，would I have the same"mental and physical disorder"as the students in the study？"
  I think this would be a great learning experience to see exactly how much technology has affected our lives．
  So，I decided I would do three days of no mobile or social media．How would I cope？
28．What is the main idea of the first paragraph？B
A．Mobile phones are used in many different ways．
B．Mobile phones have become a part of our life．
C．Mobile phones steal users'too much time．
D．Mobile phones have a bad effect on us．
29．Why does the author mention TV and computers？D
A．To remind us not to lose our mobile phones．
B．To tell us TV is mainly used for relaxing．
C．To tell us computers are used as a tool in offices．
D．To show the advantages of mobile phones．
30．What does the underlined word"seduced"mean in Paragraph 6？A
A．Addicted．
B．Surprised．
C．Impressed             
D．Persuaded．
31．What will be discussed in the following paragraph？C
A．The great effects technology has on our daily lives．
B．How to handle the situation without a mobile phone．
C．The three-day experiences without a mobile phone．
D．How to get rid of the addiction to mobile phones．

9．Willy，a merchant，returned home to his own country from a faraway continent，where he had succeeded in making a small fortune by hard work．He found on arriving at the port that all his relatives were having a large party．
He was in such a happy mood and the joy of the moment that he did not even bother changing his grey flannel（法蘭絨）suit which had become a little worn during the trip home．
When he entered the brilliantly lit room，his relatives and friends gave him a rather cold welcome because they had noticed his modest suit and immediately imagined that he had come back a poor man．
A young man who happened to be accompanying him was quite irritated  at this and said to Willy，"What a wonderful reception you have received from these people．They have not even the intention of shaking your hand after all these years that you have been away from home．"
"Just wait and see!"whispered Willy，"They will soon change their looks!"Saying this he slipped a precious ring on his finger．All of a sudden the faces of all those present lit up and immediately Willy was surrounded by so many people that he didn't know what to do．A man shook his hand，a cousin threw his arms around him，and he had so many invitations from the people present that he thought he would be unable to make any other appointments for several years．
"Has this beautiful，precious ring of yours the power of magic people？"asked the young man．
"Oh，no!"replied Willy，"They see in this glittering diamond ring something that makes them think I am rich，and，unfortunately，they place wealth above everything else．"
"What blind people!"exclaimed the young man．"It is not the ring that has drawn them to you but their desire for riches．Is it possible to appreciate more a piece of yellow metal surrounded by little stones than the goodness of my Lord？And indeed how foolish are people who place their trust in riches rather than in virtues（美德）!"
28．In what way did Willy go to attend the party held by his relatives and friends？B
A．In a modest mood．
B．In travel-soiled clothes．
C．Wearing a precious jewel．
D．Without being accompanied．
29．The word"irritated"in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to"C"．
A．exc ited          B．pleased          C．a(chǎn)ngry            D．envious 
30．According to the young man，people shouldD．
A．give up all the physical wealth  
B．a(chǎn)ppreciate more jewelry than goodness
C．observe carefully when judging a person 
D．a(chǎn)void being blinded by the desire for wealth
31．Which can be the best title of the passage？A
A．The Diamond Ring                
B．The Welcome Party
C．The Modest Clothes                  
D．The Joyful Crowd．

These methods are very simple．I have some friends who are very clever with computers．From time to time，they teach me new tricks for managing my email．I'm still amazed at what email can do for me!I'm still worried，however，about having too much to read．
