湖北高考英语阅读训练附答案I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car in a goods yard in Atlantic City and landing on my head. Now I can dimly remember the brightness of sunshine and what colorred is. It would be wonderful to see again, but a calamity大灾难 can do strange things to people. It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn't beenblind. I believe in life now. I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply, otherwise. I don't mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the loss of themmade me appreciate the more what I had left.Life, I believe, asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality. In spite of the fact the adjustment is never easy, I had my parents and teachers to help. The hardest lesson I had tolearn was to believe in myself. If I hadn't been able to do that, I would have collapsed and become a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life. When I say belief in myself I amnot talking about simply the kind of self­confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone. That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that: an assurance that I am, despiteimperfections, a real, positive person; that there is a special place where I can make myself fit.It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance. It had tostart with the most elementary things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball.I thought he was laughing at me and I washurt. “I can't use this.” I said. “Take it with you，” he urged me, “and roll it around.” The words stuck in my head. “Roll it around!” By rolling the ball I could hear where it went. This gaveme an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible: playing baseball.All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them, one at a time. I had to learn my limitations. It was no good totry for something that I knew at the startwas wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of failure. I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress.1.We can learn from the beginning of the passage that ________.A.the author lost his sight because of a car crashB.the author wouldn't love life if the calamity didn't happenC.the calamity made the author appreciate what he hadD.the calamity strengthened the author's desire to see答案：C 细节理解题。

An old saying goes, "Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought him back." But I don't think curiosity is limited to a cat. And who would ever imagine that, in my lifetime, I would have two dogs who wanted to know, "What's in the bag?"Every year, my parents went on vacation to Longview, Washington, where my mother's uncle lived. Their purpose was to go fishing, but one time, they returned with another animal—a cute puppy（幼犬）. My father had fallen in love with the puppy that we named Tammy.This was our first dog, Tammy and I became great friends. She also spent a lot of time with my mother, who would take her along when she went shopping.One day, my mother returned to the car after grocery shopping. She put her grocery bags in the back seat of the car and entered another store, leaving the dog in the car. Finally, when they arrived home, Mom opened the back door of the car, and found all the bags torn to pieces.Mom came into the house, shouting. "Your stupid dog tore all the grocery bags. I'm sure she ruined all the meat packages."I helped Mom bring her purchases into the house a few pieces at a time. With each trip out to the car, Mom scolded Tammy, who hung her head inshame. However, as we brought the things into the house, we noticed there wasn't even a tooth mark on a single item. Even the meat was untouched.Tammy was not allowed to go shopping with Mom for a long time after that. Mom decided to give Tammy one more chance. But this time Mom handled it differently. Yet nothing was damaged.When she returned to the car, Mom took each item out of the bag and showed it to Tammy. Then she put everything back in the bags and went to another store.注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式作答。

It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. The streams were long gone back into the earth. If we didn't see some rain soon we would lose everything.I was in the kitchen making lunch for the family when I saw my six-year-old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. I could only see his back. He wasn't walking in his usual way. He was obviously walking with a great effort, trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house.Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that slow and purposeful step toward the woods. This activity went on for over an hour: walking cautiously to the woods, then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey.He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill the water he carried. Branches and thorns slapped（拍打）his little face but he did not try to avoid them. He had a much greater purpose. As I leaned against a tree to spy on him, I saw the most amazing site.Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him. But Billy walked right up to them. I almost screamed for him to get away. And I saw a babydeer laying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion, lift its head with great effort to lap（舔饮）up the water in my beautiful boy's hand.注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；Paragraph 1:When the water was gone, Billy jumped up to run back to the house.________Paragraph 2:And later I knew what was going on. ________【答案】Paragraph 1:When the water was gone, Billy jumped up to run back to the house. My curiosity once again drove me to follow him back. After he reached the kitchen, he turned on the tap. As he was trying hard to cup both hands to receive the water, it was still running away through his fingers. And he also had great difficulty turning off the tap with hands occupied. He seemed to be so sorry and self-condemned for his wasting of water. Wearing a note of upset on his face, he carried it carefully toward the woods.Paragraph 2:And later I knew what was going on. It began to make sense to me why he wasn't walking in his usual way. I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart working so hard to save a life. As my tears began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops...and more drops. It was as if the nature itself was moved by the great effort made by my son and began to weep with pride.【解答】Paragraph 1:When the water was gone, Billy jumped up to run back to the house.
