In many poor countries, children receive a low standard of education. Classrooms have few supplies,
teaching materials, and books. One non-profit organization is trying to change that. The organization, founded
in 2005, is called the One Laptop (笔录本电脑 ) per Child (OLPC). Its goal is to provide the world’ s children with cheap, but powerful notebook computers.
The computer is special in that it is a children’ s notebook. Its keyboardthemachineissmall,is andstrong
enough against being dropped. The notebook also has a webcam (a video camera) for taking pictures and
recording videos. There’ s also-inWibuilt-Fi to make it easy to connect to the Internet.
In the classroom, the notebook has many functions. It can be used to take notes and do homework. Plus,
students can draw pictures and create reports. It is also an e-book reader, and comes with many books
pre-installed ( 安装 ). In fact, one of its goals is to replace books in schools with limited resources.
The notebook went into production in November 2007. Teachers in places like Peru and Nigeria are
already reporting a difference. They say children are more excited about learning. Young scholars are also
making new friends in other countries over the Internet. Children are even using the notebooks to teach their
parents at home.
Many experts see technology as a way for the world’ s poor to improveTh theirOLPClives’. aim is to
bring the“ light of learning” into children’ s lives. ikeIndethed,notebowith o olsks inl their hands, children
are given a sense of hope for a brighter future.
55. What does the OLPC provide for the poor students?
A. Money.
B. Books.
C. Teachers.
D. Computers.
56. According to Paragraph 2, which of the following is an advantage of the notebook?

A.To bring themselves more money.
B.To help poor children with learning.
C.To encourage poor parents to study further.
D.To introduce good teachers over the Internet.
C
When I was about 10, there were lots of us bored, bookish children in the 1970s. Television was largely rubbish,
and our parents ’ bookshelves were what was left. I thought of this when I heard author
Claire Tomalin complain that children are growing up without the skills to read classic works of English
literature, such as Charles Dickens and that they
are not being taught to have the lengthy
attention spans ( 时段 ) necessary for his texts.
She blames this attention shortfall on the
terrible television programmes.
It is true that children have never had more
entertainment ( 娱乐 ) to choose from than today.
And it is probably true that this generation’ s
attention span is shorter; my children have
dismissed as“ too slow” or“ boring” most of the childhood books I saved for them. I was quite upset about this until I reread some. It is not just entertainment that moves at a faster rate. The world does, too. And,
frankly, Dickens is dense, and hard work, as are many writers of that period.
Another fact is that not many children of my generation read Dickens for pleasure either. It took me
years to come to Great Expectations and The Pickwick Papers , and then it was only post-university when I
became independently hungry for knowledge.
Dickens might be one of the greatest creators of characters in English, as Tomalin say s, but today’ s
children see Greg Heffley’ s natureTheWimpyin Kid of Jeff Kinney’ s novels. And theysoareinterested in
the resourceful Baudelaire children in Lemony Snicket’As Series of Unfortunate Events. They can
recognize the adolescent difficult situation of Harry Potter .
You can ’ t insist that childhood tastesnot change for a long time. My mother encouraged me to read
anything on the basis that all reading was valuable, and would act as a gateway to more challenging works
later on. In turn, I believe that my children will come to the classics when they’ re ready. Un take comfort from the fact that the 1969 classic The Very Hungry Caterpillar is still the most-read
children ’ s book in Britain. It has underdeveloped characterization, yes, and the vocabulary is limited. But
as a starter to give children an appetite ( 食欲 ) for reading, it is priceless.
59. What is important for children reading Dickens according to Claire Tomalin?
A. Vocabulary.
B. Patience.
C. Knowledge.
D. Taste.
60.Which of the following would the author agree with about Dickens?
A.They are difficult to understand.
B.Their vocabulary is old and limited.
C.They are the entrance to other literature works.
D. Their characters are bett er created than today’ s works.
61.The author thinks it ________ that children nowadays don’tlike Dickens.
A. understandable
B. worrying
C. disappointing
D. interesting
62.Which of the following can best conclude the topic of the passage?
A. Attention span.
B. Classic works.
C. Reading skills.
D. Children’ s reading.
第二节：阅读下边短文和问题，依据短文内容和每题后的详细要求，在答题卡相应题号后的横线上写下
有关信息，达成对该问题的回答。

答语要意思清楚，构造正确，书写工整。

People from different generations often live and work together. Sometimes they eing together,’ re happy b
other times they’ re not. One of the reasons for their unhappiness may be a generation gap. A generation gap is
the difference between two or more generations — not the differences between their years but the differences
between the generations ’ ideas, attitudes, and interests. Of course, people can have differences and still be
happy together, but according to the experts, communication between the generations helps everyone get along.
Good communication between the generations starts in the family. These days many families are changing
their communication style. They are moving from a-way” style“onetoa-way“two” style of communication. To
show this change, let’ s compare two families:
The Smith family uses the-way“”onestyle of communication. Mr. and Mrs. Smith show interest in their
children, but they don’ t discuss problems of feelings. The parents make all the rules and decisions. They don
ask for their children’ s opinions. They explain their decisions to their children, but they doniscuss them. The’explanation is clear and the children understand. The communication goes one way: from the parents to the
children.
The Jones family uses the-way“”twostyle of communication. Mr. and Mrs. Jones show interest in their
children and ask for their opinions. They discuss problems and express their feelings. The family makes rules
and decisions together after a discussion. The communication goes two ways: from parents to children and from
children to parents.
Better communication between generations at home means better communication between generations at
work and in the community. When different generations learn about each other’ s ideas, attitudes, and intere they understand each other. This understanding makes relationships stronger and makes the generation gap
smaller.
63. Where does good communication between the generations begin?(不多于 3 个单词 )
64.If Jack ’s parents discuss with him where to spend their summer vacation, what style is their
communication? (不多于 3 个单词 )
65.What is the main idea of the passage? (不多于 10 个单词 )

Dear Erica,
I was glad to receive your letter asking for my advice on learning Chinese.
Here are my suggestions. To get started, you may take a Chinese course to learn basic knowledge about
Chinese characters and grammar rules. And in your spare time, you can watch or listen to Chinese programmes on
TV or radio as understanding the culture is important for learning the language. Chinese website is another
convenient resource for learning Chinese. Besides, i t ’ s a good idea to learn Chinese by learning Chinese songs.
Yet, I think the most efficient way is to make more Chinese friends. I’ m sure you will learn a lot of colloquial Chinese from talking with them.
Please do let me know if you need further help.
Best wishes.
