Yet they all can sing the English letters, 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 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 tablet’s camera couldn’t 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.‎ ‎24. How does the Ethiopia program benefit the kids in the village?‎ A. It trains teachers for them. B. It helps raise their living standards.‎ C. It contributes to their self-study. D. It provides money for building schools.‎ ‎25. What can we infer from Keller’s words in Paragraph 3?‎ ‎ A. They need more time to analyze the results. ‎ ‎ B. He is confident about the future of the project .‎ C. More children are needed for the research. ‎ D. The research should be carried out in kindergartens.‎ ‎26. It amazed Keller that with the tablet Kelbesa could _________.‎ A. draw pictures of animals B. make phone calls to his friends C. write letters to researchers D. learn English words quickly ‎27. What is the aim of the project?‎ A. To help Ethiopian kids learn to read in English.‎ B. To assist Ethiopians in learning their first language.‎ C. To make Amharic widely used in the world.‎ D. To offer Ethiopians higher paying jobs.‎ ‎ C Many Americans spend more time in cars these days than in the kitchen. But as lives grow busier—and waistlines grow larger—a number of health experts are calling for Americans to reduce their risk of cancer and other diseases by cooking at home more and eating out less.‎ ‎“When dining out, people are likely to gravitate towards all the wrong thing,” says Rachel Brandeis of the American Dietetic Association. “People take in 50% more fat and sodium when they eat out than when they cook at home. And they often miss out on fruits, vegetables and other vitamin-rich ‘powerhouse foods’ that may reduce the risk of cancer.”‎ Nutritionists know it’s not easy to break old habits. Many people say they hardly have time to ‎ exercise, let alone fix dinner.‎ Brandeis says her secret is organization. She cooks six nights a week, even though she and her husband both work. She spends 20 minutes thinking about a week’s worth of menus and writing a list. She shops just once a week. Brandeis says she chooses easy cooking methods, too. Since she is not quite good at cooking.‎ The American Institute for Cancer Research has produced a guide filled with tips like “Homemade for Health”. Melanie Polk, the institute’s director of nutrition education, says cooking at home has many advantages. It teaches children about nutrition as well as the importance of sharing housework.‎ The 39-year-old homemaker Kirstin Kristinus of Washington, D.C. says cooking at home brings her family together. She also tries to reduce her family’s cancer risk by preparing every meal with many different kinds of food.‎ ‎“The only way to know that you are getting all the good things is to expose yourself to a wide variety of food,” says Steven Shiff, a doctor in New Jersey. “If you eat out at a restaurant, it’s a lot easier to choose unhealthful things.”‎ However, “families don’t have to give up restaurants,” Shiff says. “It is possible to eat healthfully if you eat outside the home. But it takes probably the same sort of planning that you would have to do to prepare meals at home.”‎ ‎28. What is worrying health experts?‎ ‎ A.  Americans are having a too busy life. B. Americans are getting fatter and fatter.‎ ‎ C. Americans are in greater danger of getting cancer. D. Americans are eating out more and more.‎ ‎29. What does the underlined part “gravitate towards” in paragraph 2 mean?‎ ‎ A. Care about.       B Be attracted to. C. Be afraid of.         D. Forget about. ‎ ‎30. What is Melanie’s attitude towards cooking at home?‎ ‎ A. Unclear.        B. Worried.     C. Positive.      D. Doubtful.‎ ‎31. What can infer from Shiff that_____.‎ ‎ A. People should stop going to restaurants ‎ ‎ B. eating out can be as healthy as at home.  ‎ ‎ C. Restaurants usually serve unhealthy food ‎ ‎ D. Preparing meals at home is more meaningful D The first Ferris wheel was built for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The people who planned the fair were looking for an attraction that would bring people to Chicago. The Eiffel Tower had been a great success for the fair in Pairs in 1889, and they wanted something like that.‎ George Ferris handed in drawings of a giant wheel that people could ride on. At first everyone laughed at his strange idea. But Mr. Ferris didn’t give up, and finally the idea was accepted. The ride opened in June of 1893.‎ That first wheel had thirty six enclosed cars, each holding sixty passengers. When filled it carried 2,160 people. During that summer in Chicago one and a half million people rode the Ferris wheel, which was named after Ferris. Six platforms were used to pick up and drop off passengers. Each ride was two full turns of the wheel. On the first turn, it made six stops for loading. Then the second turn was a nonstop nine-minute ride. Each car had five large glass windows in front and in back, giving everyone a great view of Chicago and Lake Michigan.‎ After the fair the ride was moved to a nearby amusement park built especially to show off the wheel. In 1904 it was moved again—this time to St. Louis for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. After the fair in St. Louis closed, the wheel stood unused. In 1906 it was finally sold to a company for scrap(废弃材料）metal. It took 200 pounds of dynamite to bring it down.‎ Fortunately a Chicago bridge builder, W. E. Sullivan, figured out how to make a smaller Ferris wheel that could easily be taken apart and put together. In 1906 he started the company that still makes many of the Ferris wheels used today.‎ But whenever you ride one remember that it all began with George Ferris’ very strange idea.‎ ‎32. What is the main idea of the passage?‎ ‎ A. Ferris’ design was so successful that Ferris wheels are still around today.‎ ‎ B. Riding a Ferris wheel is the best way to travel around the world.‎ ‎ C. World fairs attracted millions of visitors to Chicago from all around the world.‎ ‎ D. Large designs are more successful than small ones.‎ ‎33. The first Ferris wheel was mainly built to          .‎ ‎ A. attract visitors to an event in Chicago. B. make George Ferris well-known worldwide.‎ ‎ C. match the Eiffel Tower in Paris D. bring fun to people in Chicago ‎34. What does the author think of George Ferris?‎ ‎ A. He was a leader in the amusement industry. ‎ ‎ B. His Ferris wheel design was impractical.‎ ‎ C. He showed great creativity in the Ferris wheel design.‎ ‎ D. He did a lot better than W. E. Sullivan.‎ ‎35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?‎ ‎ A. To persuade the reader to ride a Ferris wheel.‎ ‎ B. To describe the success of the 1893 World’s Fair.‎ ‎ C. To entertain the reader with a story about World Fairs in the US.‎ ‎ D. To inform the reader about the first Ferris wheel ever built.‎ 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to be knowledgeable Being knowledgeable means you have knowledge.
