二、阅读理解

A

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 8­year­old 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.

本文主要介绍了一个被称作One Laptop Per Child的项目计划，它旨在帮助那些没有学校、没有教师的地方的孩子学会阅读。

1．How does the Ethiopia program benefit the kids in the village ?

A. It trains teachers for them.

B. It contributes to their self­study.

C. It helps raise their living standards.

D. It provides funds for building schools.

答案　B

解析　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The goal is to find out whether kids using today's new technology can teach themselves to read”可知答案。

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.

答案　C

解析　推理判断题。根据第三段中Keller所说的话可知，Keller认为孩子们在现代技术设备的帮助下学到了更多东西，故Keller对这个项目的未来充满信心。

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

答案　A

解析　细节理解题。根据第五段中的“With his tablet, Kelbesa rearranged the letters HSROE into one of the many English animal names he knows”可知，在这种情况下，Kelbesa学习英语很快。

B

Nowadays, mobile phones are becoming very important in our daily life, but you may want to throw your mobile phone away after reading this. Because tests have shown every mobile phone averagely carries 18 times more potentially harmful bacteria than a toilet handle. One of the phones in the test had such high levels of bacteria that it could have given its owner a serious stomach upset.

While the bacteria are not immediately harmful, high levels of bacteria indicate poor personal hygiene (卫生) and act as a breeding (交配繁殖) ground for other bugs. The findings from a sample of 30 phones by Which? magazine suggest 14.7 million of the 63 million mobile phones in use in the UK today could be potential health risk.

The most unhygienic phones had more than ten times the acceptable level of bacteria and seven of them were above the level. The worst phone also had 39 times the safe level of enterobacteria(肠道菌), a group of bacteria that live in the lower intestines(肠) of humans and animals and include bugs such as Salmonella(沙门氏菌) . Other bacteria including food poisoning bugs were found on the phones but they are at safe levels. Which? researcher Ceri Stanaway said, “Most phones didn't have any immediately harmful bacteria that would make you sick right away but they were dirtier than they could be, so everyone should pay attention to keeping your mobile phone hygienic when you use it”．

这是一篇说明文，讲述了手机上的细菌。现代生活中手机已经是不可缺少的物品，然而研究表明，手机上细菌的数量是马桶手柄上细菌数量的18倍。

4．The underlined part “Which？” in this passage is .

A. a paper B. an organization

5．From the passage we know that bacteria found on the phones .

A. are immediately harmful to the owner

B. are a hidden danger to the owner

C. are dirty but safe

D. are breeding much faster than other bacteria

答案　B

解析　细节理解题。由文章第一段中的“every mobile phone averagely carries 18 times more potentially harmful bacteria”和第二段中的“14.7 million of the 63 million mobile phones in use in the UK today could be potential health risk”可知，手机所携带的细菌对其使用者的健康来说是一种潜在的威胁。故选B项。

6．According to the writer, people should .
