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 todays 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 theyre 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 learnerand the first to turn on one of the tabletsis 8-year-old Kelbesa Negusse. The devices 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 didnt know any English. Thats unbelievable,” said Keller. The project aims to get kids to a stage called “deep reading,” where they can read to learn. It wont be in Amharic, Ethiopias 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?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?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?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.CWorkplaces all over the UK are preparing for Christmas and all the traditions and customs that come with it. But will Christmas be a cause for happiness and celebration or embarrassment and disappointment?One way that colleagues in Britain show their appreciation of each other at this time of year is by doing "Secret Santa" present giving. At that time, people who work together buy each other gifts without saying whom they are from.Co-workers all write their names on a piece of paper and then organize a lottery in which each workmate takes another colleague's name at random(任意地). Each person then has to buy a present for the colleague whose name they have picked, usually with an agreed price set at a small amount of money such as five or ten pounds. As the gifts are given without knowing the names of the gift givers, the quality of the presents can be very different; gifts that people received are from tickets to the opera to an air-freshener for a car.Another common seasonal workplace tradition is the office Christmas party, when workmates put on their most attractive clothes and enjoy lots of free wine.Although most parties are held without a hitch, sometimes the effects of alcohol(酒精) cause party goers to regret their drunken antics(古怪行为).The BBC invited people to share their most embarrassing(令人尴尬的) Christmas office party stories, and received hundreds of funny stories, such as the man who split his trousers back to front with his strange dance moves or the drunken lady who spent the entire night with back of her dress tucked into her pants and saw the photos that proved it later at work.But the worst story must surely come from Stuart Vaines, who got so drunk that he put his boss's head into the toilet. Unsurprisingly, he lost his job the very next day.22. By saying this Christmas will cause embarrassment, the author actually refers to_.A. the workmate who receives a ticket to the operaB. the man who receives an air-freshener C. the lady who tucked the back of her dress in her pantsD. the man who put his boss's head into the toilet23. The underlined phrase "without a hitch" in Para.6 most probably means_.A. without trouble B. without an endC. without free drinks D. with less people 24. It is implied in the passage that _.A. The gift givers do not know whom they will give gifts toB. some workmates are not generous enough to buy expensive giftsC. the BBC is interested in people's funny storiesD. some party-goers will wish they haven't drunk so much25. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A. Office Parties at ChristmasB. Happiness from Office PartiesC. Celebrations in Workplaces at ChristmasD. Funny Stories from Office Parties第二节（共5个小题；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。Everyone has heard of Groundhog Day (土拨鼠日).26. _. People in America think that the groundhog awakens from its winters sleep on February 2nd. The groundhog comes out of its hole. If the sun is shining, it will see its shadow. The shadow scares it. So it runs back into its hole. This means six more weeks of winter. If the day is cloudy, it will not see its shadow. Since it is not scared, it stays out of its hole. 27. _. These are the same things we say on Groundhog Day today. 28. _. They are known mainly to country people. City people just dont know how to look for them.

But a farmer sees groundhogs anywhere he looks. Theyll be watching like guards. The groundhog is a native American. 29. _. It may also appear as far north as Alaska. It is hated by farmers. The groundhog eats a third of its weight in a day. What a big appetite(胃口)！It may eat about a half-ton of alfalfa(苜蓿) in a summer. So 10 groundhogs in a big field would eat five tons.
