One morning, Ann's neighbor Tracy found a lost dog wandering around the local elementary school. She asked Ann if she could keep an eye on the dog. Ann said that she could watch it only for the day.
Tracy took photos of the dog and printed off 400 FOUND fliers（传单）, and put them in mailboxes. Meanwhile, Ann went to the dollar store and bought some pet supplies, warning her two sons not to fall in love with the dog. At the time, Ann's son Thomas was 10 years old, and Jack, who was recovering from a heart operation, was 21 years old.
Four days later Ann was still looking after the dog, whom they had started to call Riley. When she arrived home from work, the dog threw itself against the screen door and barked madly at her. As soon as she opened the door, Riley dashed into the boys' room where Ann found Jack suffering from a heart attack. Riley ran over to Jack, but as soon as Ann bent over to help him the dog went silent.
“If it hadn't come to get me, the doctor said Jack would have died,” Ann reported to a local newspaper. At this point, no one had called to claim the dog, so Ann decided to keep it.

14．（2014·山东）阅读理解
It was one of those terribly hot days in Baltimore. Needless to say, it was too hot to do anything outside. But it was also scorching in our apartment. This was 1962, and I would not live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years. So my brother and I decided to leave the apartment to find someplace indoors. He suggested we could see a movie. It was a brilliant plan.
Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all day and—most important —sit in air conditioning. In those days, you could buy one ticket and sit through two movies. Then, the theater would show the same two movies again. If you wanted to, you could sit through them twice. Most people did not do that, but the manager at our theater. Mr. Bellow did not mind if you did.
That particular day, my brother and I sat through both movies twice, trying to escape the heat. We bought three bags of popcorn and three sodas each. Then, we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. We'd already seen the second movie once before. It had been at the theater since January, because Mr. Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it.
We left the theater around 8, just before the evening shows began. But we returned the next day and saw the same two movies again, twice more. And we did it the next day too. Finally, on the fourth day, the heat wave broke.
Still, to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart's dialogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance! Those memories are some of the few I have of the heat wave of 1962. They're really memories of the screen, not memories of my life.
（1）In which year did the author first live in a place with an air conditioner
A．1952 B．1962 C．1972 D．1982
（2）What does the underlined word”It” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A．The heat B．The theater.
C．The Music Man D．The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
（3）What do we know about Mr. Bellow
A．He loved children very much. B．He was a fan of John Wayne.
C．He sold air conditioners. D．He was a movie star.
（4）Why did the author and his/her brother see the same movies several times
A．The two movies were really wonderful.
B．They wanted to avoid the heat outside.
C．The manager of the theater was friendly.
D．They liked the popcorn and the soda at the theater.
（5）What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．The author turned out to be a great singer.
B．The author enjoyed the heat wave of 1962.
C．The author's life has been changed by the two movies.
D．The author considers the experience at the theater unforgettable.

Elizabeth Freeman was born about 1742 to African American parents who were slaves. At the age of six months she was acquired, along with her sister, by John Ashley, a wealthy Massachusetts slaveholders. She became known as “Mumbet” or “Mum Bett.”
For nearly 30 years Mumbet served the Ashley family. One day, Ashley's wife tried to strike Mumbet's sister with a spade. Mumbet protected her sister and took the blow instead. Furious, she left the house and refused to come back. When the Ashleys tried to make her return, Mumbet consulted a lawyer, Theodore Sedgewick. With his help, Mumbet sued(起诉) for her freedom.
While serving the Ashleys, Mumbet had listened to many discussions of the new Massachusetts constitution.

Strangely enough, after the trial, the Ashleys asked Mumbet to come back and work for them as a paid employee. She declined and instead went to work for Segdewick. Mumbet died in 1829, but her legacy lived on in her many descendants(后裔). One of her great-grandchildren was W.E.B. Du Bois, one of the founder of the NAACP, and an important writer and spokesperson for African American civil rights.

How fit are your teeth Are you lazy about brushing them Never fear: An inventor is on the case. An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush, and it lets you track your performance on your phone.
The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless connection.
The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right (don't forget the insides of the teeth!) and make sure you're brushing long enough. “It's kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis,” says Thomas Serval, the French inventor.
The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone, so developers could, for instance, create a game controlled by your toothbrush. You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth. “We try to make it smart but also fun,” Several says.
Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father. He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth. They said “yes,” but Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry. He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed.
The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer, for $99 to $199, developing on features. The U.S. is the first target market.
Serval says that one day, it'll be possible to replace the brush on the handle with a brushing unit that also has a camera. The camera can even examine holes in your teeth while you brush.
（1）Which is one of the feature of the Kolibree toothbrush
A．It can sense how users brush their teeth.
B．It can track users' school performance.

D．It can help users find their phones.
（2）What can we learn from Serval's words in Paragraph 3
A．You will find it enjoyable to see a dentist.
B．You should see your dentist on a day-to –day basis.
C．You can brush with the Kolibree as if guided by a dentist.
D．You'd like a dentist to watch you brush your teeth every day.
（3）Which of the following might make the Kolibree toothbrush fun
A．It can be used to update mobile phones.
B．It can be used to play mobile phone games
C．It can send messages to other users
D．It can talk to its developers.
（4）What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A．How Serval found out his kids lied to him.
B．Why Serval thought brushing teeth was necessary.

D．What inspired Serval to invent the toothbrush
（5）What can we infer about Serval's children
A．They were unwilling to brush their teeth
B．They often failed to clean their toothbrushes.
C．They preferred to use a toothbrush with a dry head.
D．They liked brushing their teeth after Serval came home.
（6）What can we learn about the future development of the Kolibree
A．The brush handle will be removed.
B．A mobile phone will be built into it.
C．It will be used to fill holes in teeth
D．It will be able to check users' teeth

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, 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.
（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.
四、阅读表达
18．（2014·山东）阅读下面的短文并用英语回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上（请注意问题后的字数要求）。
[1] Nowadays the cost of a new car has fallen in real terms so that it is cheaper than ever to own one, and better road conditions have also attracted more drivers. The result is overcrowding on the road system, which is one of the problems the local governments are faced with.
[2] When people travel to other towns, the problem might be relieved by getting them to park outside the town. Buses could be provided to take them into the centre. These Park and Ride projects are increasingly popular in the UK. At Southerton, for example, a council-funded project led to a 15% drop in city centre traffic over five months.
[3] What the council found, though, was that the project proved somewhat unpopular with shop owners in the area outside the centre. Many of their shops relied on passing car drivers for some of their trade. As the number of people driving past dropped, so did their incomes.
[4] Making car driving expensive is another way of ____________. Road taxes tend to mean that people use their cars less. Fining drivers who are in areas where cars have been banned can also tend to encourage them to leave their cars behind.
[5] However, one thing has to be got right for any solution to succeed. If we expect people to give up the habit of driving, we must give them an alternative they can rely on. Constant delays, unannounced changes to the timetable and sudden cancellations all discourage people from using public transport. People will only see it as a real choice if the buses and trains are on time.
（1）What causes overcrowding on the road system according to Paragraph 1 (no more than 12 words)
　 　
（2）What should people do when traveling to other towns according to the Park and Ride projects (no more than 10 words)
　 　
（3）Why were some shop owners unhappy about the project (no more than 10 words)
　 　
（4）Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4. ( no more than 8 words)
　 　
（5）Why are people unwilling to use public transport according to Paragraph 5 (no more than 8 words)

18．【答案】（1）The reduced/lowered cost of a new car and better road conditions
（2）They should park outside the town, and take the bus to the centre.
（3）Their incomes dropped because fewer people drove past.
（4）encouraging people to use public transport moreencouraging people to use their cars lessrelieving the problem( of overcrowding)
（5）Because public transport is not reliable/satisfactory
【知识点】阅读表达
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，随着汽车价格的逐渐下降，公路状况越来越好，路上的汽车也就越来越多了。结果就使得公路严重拥挤。本文就解决道路拥挤问题提出建议，如何才能让司机放弃开车选择公交。
（1）考查细节归纳。根据第一段中的“…the cost of a new car had fallen…”和“…better road conditions have also attracted more drivers.”可以写出答案为：The reduced/lowered cost of a new car and better road conditions.
（2）考查细节归纳。根据第二段中的“… the problem might be relieved by getting them to park outside the town…take them to the center…”可以写出答案They should park outside the town, and take the bus to the centre.
（3）考查细节归纳。根据第三段中的“As the number of people …so did their incomes.”可知，开车经过商场的人少了，商店的收入也就会随着减少。所以答案为Their incomes dropped because fewer people drove past.
（4）考查推理判断。根据第四段空格所在的句子“使开车费用增加也是一种方法”说明上文已经提到了解决什么问题的方法。根据第二段中的“When people ...the problem might be relieved of getting them to park outside the town.”可知，使开车的费用增加也是一种减轻交通拥挤问题的方法。因此可以写出答案relieving the problem( of overcrowding)。根据下文提到“road taxes”和“finding drivers”等两项费用问题可以促使更多的司机不开车，所以这也是一种鼓励司机不开车乘公交车的一种方法。因此可以写出答案encouraging people to use public transport more或 encouraging people to use their cars less.
（5）考查细节归纳。根据最后一段中的“If we expect...rely on”说明，我们想让人们放弃开车的想法必须给他们值得信赖的选择。接着后面列举了一些公交车的弊端，比如耽搁时间，随意更换时间，突然取消等等问题都不能让人们真正信赖公交。所以可以总结出答案Because public transport is not reliable/satisfactory.
【点评】本题考点涉及细节归纳和推理判断两个题型的考查，要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上，根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析推理，从而写出正确答案。
19．【答案】Where there is a will ,there is a way
My favourite proverb is " Where there is a will ,there is a way.",which means we will be able to get over all kinds of challenges if we can stick to our dreams and never give up.
Meomeries rushed to my mind when I saw the topic. When I was in highschool, I had great enthusiasm for English and intended to take part in an English speech contest.
However, when preparing for it , I found it very challenging to collect information and use language correctly. I was about to give up when my dad noticed and offered this proverb to me .Encouraged by it, I spared no effort to solve every problem with confidence. If I hadn't helped me, I couldn't have won the prize finally.
In a word, not only does this proverb enable me to face up to the difficulties bravely, but also it contributies much to keeping confident all the time. Therefore, keep in mind "Where there is a will ,there is a way.". Success comes to those who never give up.
【知识点】命题作文；文字式议论文；开放性作文

【点评】本书面表达要点齐全，上下文连贯，使用一定数量的句式结构，让句子更加生动丰满，同时运用了许多高级词汇和固定短语，提高文章的档次，体现了对英语的熟练的驾驭能力。例如： My favourite proverb is " Where there is a will ,there is a way.",which means we will be able to get over all kinds of challenges if we can stick to our dreams and never give up.包含定语从句和条件状语从句；When I was in highschool, I had great enthusiasm for English and intended to take part in an English speech contest.运用了时间状语从句；If I hadn't helped me, I couldn't have won the prize finally.运用了虚拟语气；not only does this proverb enable me to face up to the difficulties bravely, but also it contributies much to keeping confident all the time. 运用了倒装句。

13．（2014·山东）阅读理解
One morning, Ann's neighbor Tracy found a lost dog wandering around the local elementary school. She asked Ann if she could keep an eye on the dog. Ann said that she could watch it only for the day.
Tracy took photos of the dog and printed off 400 FOUND fliers（传单）, and put them in mailboxes. Meanwhile, Ann went to the dollar store and bought some pet supplies, warning her two sons not to fall in love with the dog. At the time, Ann's son Thomas was 10 years old, and Jack, who was recovering from a heart operation, was 21 years old.
Four days later Ann was still looking after the dog, whom they had started to call Riley. When she arrived home from work, the dog threw itself against the screen door and barked madly at her. As soon as she opened the door, Riley dashed into the boys' room where Ann found Jack suffering from a heart attack. Riley ran over to Jack, but as soon as Ann bent over to help him the dog went silent.
“If it hadn't come to get me, the doctor said Jack would have died,” Ann reported to a local newspaper. At this point, no one had called to claim the dog, so Ann decided to keep it.
The next morning Tracy got a call. A man named Peter recognized his lost dog and called the number on the flier. Tracy started crying, and told him, “That dog saved my friend's son.”
Peter drove to Ann's house to pick up his dog, and saw Thomas and Jack crying in the window. After a few moments Peter said, “Maybe Odie was supposed to find you, maybe you should keep it.”
（1）What did Tracy do after finding the dog
A．She looked for its owner B．She gave it to Ann as a gift.

14．（2014·山东）阅读理解
It was one of those terribly hot days in Baltimore. Needless to say, it was too hot to do anything outside. But it was also scorching in our apartment. This was 1962, and I would not live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years. So my brother and I decided to leave the apartment to find someplace indoors. He suggested we could see a movie. It was a brilliant plan.
Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all day and—most important —sit in air conditioning. In those days, you could buy one ticket and sit through two movies. Then, the theater would show the same two movies again. If you wanted to, you could sit through them twice. Most people did not do that, but the manager at our theater. Mr. Bellow did not mind if you did.
That particular day, my brother and I sat through both movies twice, trying to escape the heat. We bought three bags of popcorn and three sodas each. Then, we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. We'd already seen the second movie once before. It had been at the theater since January, because Mr. Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it.
We left the theater around 8, just before the evening shows began. But we returned the next day and saw the same two movies again, twice more. And we did it the next day too. Finally, on the fourth day, the heat wave broke.
Still, to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart's dialogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance! Those memories are some of the few I have of the heat wave of 1962. They're really memories of the screen, not memories of my life.
（1）In which year did the author first live in a place with an air conditioner
A．1952 B．1962 C．1972 D．1982
（2）What does the underlined word”It” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A．The heat B．The theater.
C．The Music Man D．The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
（3）What do we know about Mr. Bellow
A．He loved children very much. B．He was a fan of John Wayne.
C．He sold air conditioners. D．He was a movie star.
（4）Why did the author and his/her brother see the same movies several times
A．The two movies were really wonderful.
B．They wanted to avoid the heat outside.
C．The manager of the theater was friendly.
D．They liked the popcorn and the soda at the theater.
（5）What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．The author turned out to be a great singer.
B．The author enjoyed the heat wave of 1962.
C．The author's life has been changed by the two movies.
D．The author considers the experience at the theater unforgettable.
【答案】（1）C

【知识点】推理判断题；词义猜测题；细节理解题；故事阅读类；记叙文
【解析】【分析】这是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者小时候为了避暑和弟弟到电影院去一遍一遍看电影，以至于多年时候还记得电影里面的歌曲和对白，表达了自己对以往那段在电影院里度过的时光的怀念之情。
（1）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“This was 1962,I wuold not live in a place with air conditioner for another ten years”可知，作者在10年后住进了有空调的房子。故选C。
（2）考查词义猜测。根据第三段中的“Then，we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. We have already seen the second movie once more.”可知，it指的是这两部电影中的第二部电影即The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance。故选D。
（3）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“…because Mr. Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it.”可知，Mr. Bellow很喜欢John Wayne。故选B。
（4）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all day and—most important —sit in air conditioning.”可知，在这炎热的夏天电影院是你可以一坐一整天的为数不多的地方，最重要的是这里有空调，所以作者和弟弟到电影院区的目的是为了避暑。故选B。
（5）考查判断推理。最后一段中作者说时至今日他仍然会唱The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance里的歌，会背诵里面的对白，很少会记起1962年的热浪但是会时常记起这部电影，说明作者很怀念那段在电影院度过的时光。故选D。

Elizabeth Freeman was born about 1742 to African American parents who were slaves. At the age of six months she was acquired, along with her sister, by John Ashley, a wealthy Massachusetts slaveholders. She became known as “Mumbet” or “Mum Bett.”
For nearly 30 years Mumbet served the Ashley family. One day, Ashley's wife tried to strike Mumbet's sister with a spade. Mumbet protected her sister and took the blow instead. Furious, she left the house and refused to come back. When the Ashleys tried to make her return, Mumbet consulted a lawyer, Theodore Sedgewick. With his help, Mumbet sued(起诉) for her freedom.
While serving the Ashleys, Mumbet had listened to many discussions of the new Massachusetts constitution. If the constitution said that all people were free and equal, then she thought it should apply to her. Eventually, Mumbet won her freedom—- the first slave in Massachusetts to do so under the new constitution.
Strangely enough, after the trial, the Ashleys asked Mumbet to come back and work for them as a paid employee. She declined and instead went to work for Segdewick. Mumbet died in 1829, but her legacy lived on in her many descendants(后裔). One of her great-grandchildren was W.E.B. Du Bois, one of the founder of the NAACP, and an important writer and spokesperson for African American civil rights.
Mumbet's tombstone still stands in the Massachusetts cemetery where she was buried. It reads, in part: “She was born a slave and remained a slave and remained a slave for nearly thirty years. She could neither read nor write, yet in her own sphere she had no superior or equal.”

16．（2014·山东）阅读理解
How fit are your teeth Are you lazy about brushing them Never fear: An inventor is on the case. An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush, and it lets you track your performance on your phone.
The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless connection.
The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right (don't forget the insides of the teeth!) and make sure you're brushing long enough. “It's kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis,” says Thomas Serval, the French inventor.
The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone, so developers could, for instance, create a game controlled by your toothbrush. You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth. “We try to make it smart but also fun,” Several says.
Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father. He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth. They said “yes,” but Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry. He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed.
The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer, for $99 to $199, developing on features. The U.S. is the first target market.
Serval says that one day, it'll be possible to replace the brush on the handle with a brushing unit that also has a camera. The camera can even examine holes in your teeth while you brush.
（1）Which is one of the feature of the Kolibree toothbrush
A．It can sense how users brush their teeth.
B．It can track users' school performance.
C．It can detect users' fear of seeing a dentist.
D．It can help users find their phones.
（2）What can we learn from Serval's words in Paragraph 3
A．You will find it enjoyable to see a dentist.
B．You should see your dentist on a day-to –day basis.
C．You can brush with the Kolibree as if guided by a dentist.
D．You'd like a dentist to watch you brush your teeth every day.
（3）Which of the following might make the Kolibree toothbrush fun
A．It can be used to update mobile phones.
B．It can be used to play mobile phone games
C．It can send messages to other users
D．It can talk to its developers.
（4）What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A．How Serval found out his kids lied to him.
B．Why Serval thought brushing teeth was necessary.
C．How Serval taught his kids to brush their teeth.
D．What inspired Serval to invent the toothbrush
（5）What can we infer about Serval's children
A．They were unwilling to brush their teeth
B．They often failed to clean their toothbrushes.
C．They preferred to use a toothbrush with a dry head.
D．They liked brushing their teeth after Serval came home.
（6）What can we learn about the future development of the Kolibree
A．The brush handle will be removed.
B．A mobile phone will be built into it.
C．It will be used to fill holes in teeth
D．It will be able to check users' teeth
【答案】（1）A

（1）考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“An electric toothbrush senses how long…”可知，这种电动牙刷可以感知你刷牙的时间和刷牙的情况，这些你都可以通过手机来知道自己的表现。故答案选A。
（2）考查细节理解。Serval这句话的意思是用这种电动牙刷就好像有牙医天天在监督你的刷牙情况一样，故答案选C。
（3）考查细节理解。根据第四段可知，设计者将设计一个由牙刷控制的游戏，让这个牙刷既智能又有趣。故答案选B。
（4）考查判断推理。根据第五段可知，Serval作为父亲发现孩子没有刷牙却说自己刷牙了这种情况之后，使得他决定设计一种能够清楚地知道孩子刷牙情况的牙刷。故选D。
（5）考查判断推理。根据第五段中的“He would come back…They said ‘yes,' but …”可以推断， Serval的孩子没有刷牙却说自己刷牙了，这说明孩子们不喜欢刷牙。故答案选A。
（6）考查判断推理。根据最后一段可知，以后会在牙刷上装上照相机，这样人们在刷牙的时候甚至可以检查牙齿上的洞，这说明这种牙刷在将来能够对人们的牙齿进行健康检查。故选D。

17．（2014·山东）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, 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.
（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.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇调查研究，讲述的是美国一个团体在俄塞俄比亚没有学校和老师的地方，通过给孩子们20台平板电脑的方式看使用新技术的孩子是否能够教会自己阅读。这个计划的目的是让孩子到达一个“深读”的阶段，他们能通过阅读来学习。不是学习埃塞俄比亚的官方语言阿姆哈拉语，而是被广泛认为是获得高薪工作的“敲门砖”的英语。
（1）考查细节理解。通过对文章的阅读可知，这个计划的目的是看看孩子们能否再没有学校和老师的情况下自学，通过这个计划人们发现这些孩子会背英文字母表，有的甚至会拼单词，这说明这个计划对孩子们的自学是有益的。故选B。
（2）考查判断推理。Keller认为孩子们自学学到的知识比他们在幼儿园一年学的还多，这说明他对这个计划的前景是满怀信心的。故选C。
（3）考查细节理解。通过倒数第二段的内容可知，Keller对Kelbesa在短短七个月里从不认识英语到会拼写英语感到不可思议，故选A。
（4）考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的“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，这个计划的目的是帮助埃塞俄比亚的孩子学会用英语阅读。故选C。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析、推理，从而选出正确答案。
四、阅读表达
18．（2014·山东）阅读下面的短文并用英语回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上（请注意问题后的字数要求）。
[1] Nowadays the cost of a new car has fallen in real terms so that it is cheaper than ever to own one, and better road conditions have also attracted more drivers. The result is overcrowding on the road system, which is one of the problems the local governments are faced with.
[2] When people travel to other towns, the problem might be relieved by getting them to park outside the town. Buses could be provided to take them into the centre. These Park and Ride projects are increasingly popular in the UK. At Southerton, for example, a council-funded project led to a 15% drop in city centre traffic over five months.
[3] What the council found, though, was that the project proved somewhat unpopular with shop owners in the area outside the centre. Many of their shops relied on passing car drivers for some of their trade. As the number of people driving past dropped, so did their incomes.
[4] Making car driving expensive is another way of ____________. Road taxes tend to mean that people use their cars less. Fining drivers who are in areas where cars have been banned can also tend to encourage them to leave their cars behind.
[5] However, one thing has to be got right for any solution to succeed. If we expect people to give up the habit of driving, we must give them an alternative they can rely on. Constant delays, unannounced changes to the timetable and sudden cancellations all discourage people from using public transport. People will only see it as a real choice if the buses and trains are on time.
（1）What causes overcrowding on the road system according to Paragraph 1 (no more than 12 words)
　 　
（2）What should people do when traveling to other towns according to the Park and Ride projects (no more than 10 words)
　 　
（3）Why were some shop owners unhappy about the project (no more than 10 words)
　 　
（4）Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4. ( no more than 8 words)
　 　
（5）Why are people unwilling to use public transport according to Paragraph 5 (no more than 8 words)
　 　
【答案】（1）The reduced/lowered cost of a new car and better road conditions
（2）They should park outside the town, and take the bus to the centre.
（3）Their incomes dropped because fewer people drove past.
（4）encouraging people to use public transport moreencouraging people to use their cars lessrelieving the problem( of overcrowding)
（5）Because public transport is not reliable/satisfactory
【知识点】阅读表达
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，随着汽车价格的逐渐下降，公路状况越来越好，路上的汽车也就越来越多了。结果就使得公路严重拥挤。本文就解决道路拥挤问题提出建议，如何才能让司机放弃开车选择公交。
（1）考查细节归纳。根据第一段中的“…the cost of a new car had fallen…”和“…better road conditions have also attracted more drivers.”可以写出答案为：The reduced/lowered cost of a new car and better road conditions.
（2）考查细节归纳。根据第二段中的“… the problem might be relieved by getting them to park outside the town…take them to the center…”可以写出答案They should park outside the town, and take the bus to the centre.
（3）考查细节归纳。根据第三段中的“As the number of people …so did their incomes.”可知，开车经过商场的人少了，商店的收入也就会随着减少。所以答案为Their incomes dropped because fewer people drove past.
（4）考查推理判断。根据第四段空格所在的句子“使开车费用增加也是一种方法”说明上文已经提到了解决什么问题的方法。根据第二段中的“When people ...the problem might be relieved of getting them to park outside the town.”可知，使开车的费用增加也是一种减轻交通拥挤问题的方法。因此可以写出答案relieving the problem( of overcrowding)。根据下文提到“road taxes”和“finding drivers”等两项费用问题可以促使更多的司机不开车，所以这也是一种鼓励司机不开车乘公交车的一种方法。因此可以写出答案encouraging people to use public transport more或 encouraging people to use their cars less.
（5）考查细节归纳。根据最后一段中的“If we expect...rely on”说明，我们想让人们放弃开车的想法必须给他们值得信赖的选择。接着后面列举了一些公交车的弊端，比如耽搁时间，随意更换时间，突然取消等等问题都不能让人们真正信赖公交。所以可以总结出答案Because public transport is not reliable/satisfactory.
【点评】本题考点涉及细节归纳和推理判断两个题型的考查，要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上，根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析推理，从而写出正确答案。
五、书面表达

My favourite proverb is " Where there is a will ,there is a way.",which means we will be able to get over all kinds of challenges if we can stick to our dreams and never give up.
Meomeries rushed to my mind when I saw the topic. When I was in highschool, I had great enthusiasm for English and intended to take part in an English speech contest.
However, when preparing for it , I found it very challenging to collect information and use language correctly. I was about to give up when my dad noticed and offered this proverb to me .Encouraged by it, I spared no effort to solve every problem with confidence. If I hadn't helped me, I couldn't have won the prize finally.
In a word, not only does this proverb enable me to face up to the difficulties bravely, but also it contributies much to keeping confident all the time. Therefore, keep in mind "Where there is a will ,there is a way.". Success comes to those who never give up.
