He hit himself in the eye with one of his father's sharp tools, and became blind. His name was Louis Braille, and he was only four years old.He was a clever little boy, and he soon learned to “see〞 without his eyes. He touched things, or smelled them, or tasted them. His family described things to him. Although he couldn’t see people’s faces, he learned to recognize their voices. After his seventh birthday, Louis went to the little school in the village. But there weren’t any books for him. His classmates read his lessons to him and his sisters helped him with his homework. He learned his lessons well, but he couldn’t learn to read or write.In 1819, the village priest (牧师) told Louis Braille's story to the director of a famous school for blind boys. At this school, boys learned math, grammar, geography, history, and music. And they learned to read!Louis went to the school in Paris in February, 1819. He loved his classes and received high grades. He learned to play the piano and to knit (编织) hats and sweaters. And he learned to read — with his fingers!The raised-print letters in the books at school stood up from the surface of the paper. Louis could feel them with his fingers. He was able to recognize some of them easily, but some of them were difficult. The letters had to be very large, and sometimes there were only a few letters on a page. The books were huge and heavy. And they were expensive. There were only fourteen books in the school library! Louis read the three or four books for his class again and again. He tried to think of a better way to make books for blind people. He experimented with new alphabets. After about three years, Louis invented a system of raised dots. The other students thought Louis's system was wonderful. They were able to read it easily, and they learned to write, too.Today, there are thousands of Braille books for blind people. Louis Braille was only fifteen years old when he invented his wonderful system!61. Without his eyes, he could also “see〞 by _________ .A. touching thingsB. smelling or tasting thingsC. trying to recognize people's voicesD. all the above ways62. He went to _________ in February, 1819.A. a famous school for blind boys in ParisB. a music school for blind peopleC. a private school for blind peopleD. a school for blind people far away from Paris63. Louis Braille became famous because he invented ____ .A. the English alphabetB. a system of raised dots to make books for blind peopleC. books for blind people to learn mathsD. grammar books for blind people64. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. His father’s carelessness made Louis Braille blindB. With the help of priest, Louis Braille went to the school in Paris in 1819C. Louis Braille is the only one who reads with fingers in the school.D. It took him about 15 years to invent a system of raised dots65. The main idea of this passage is that ____.A. Louis was a good student at the school in ParisB. he learned to “see〞 with the help of booksC. he invented a system of raised dots to make books easier for blind people to readD. there are thousands of Braille books for blind peopleBDiet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word “diet〞 everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically (心理) and physically.Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption(消费) of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale(秤) instead. All we have to do is to swallow(吞咽) or recognize the word “diet〞 in food labels.On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(营养成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them .68. In Paragraph 3, “gain comes without pain〞 probably means ______.A. losing weight is effortlessB. it costs a lot to lose weightC. diet products bring no painD. diet products are free from calories69. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products ______.A. are over-consumedB. lack basic nutrientsC. are short of chemicalsD. provide too much energy70. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. diet products: a good choice for losing weightB. diet products and basic nutrientsC. the diet zone: an attractive placeD. the diet zone: a dangerous placeCLet children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his langua ge like other people’s. In the same way, children learn to do all th e other things they learn to do without being taught--- to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle --- compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone(更不用说) correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless he was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.If it is a matter of right answer, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine(常规的) work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let’s end all this nonsense of grades, exams and marks. Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must someday learn: how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible(合情理的) to them, with our help as school teachers if they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest of one’s life is nonsense(无意义的) in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxiousparents and teachers say, “But suppose they fail to learn something essential(根本的), something they will need to get on in the world?〞Don’t worry! If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learnt it.71. What does the writer think is the best way for children to think?A. By listening to their parents’ instructions.B. By asking a great many questions.C. By making mistakes and having them corrected.D. By copying what other people do.72. What does the writer think teachers should NOT do?A. Give children correct answers.B. Point out children’smistakes to them.C. Allow children to mark their own work.D. Encourage children to copyone another.73. According to the passage, learning to speak and learning to ride a bike are _____.A. the most important skills.B. the basic skills children should masterC. almost the same as learning other skillsD. much different from learning other skills.74. The writer is afraid that children will grow up into adults who are ______.A. too selfishB. too independentC. dependent and unable to use basic skillsD. able to think for themselves75. The passage makes us believe_______.A. while children learn to do something, they usually make the necessary changesB. Children won’t correct their mistakes until teachers point them outC. It is necessary for teachers to correct children’s papers and homeworkD. Children will learn better if they depend on their teachers and parentsDFor years I wanted a flower garden. I’d spend hours thinking of different things I could plant that would look nice together. But then we had Matthew. And Marvin. And the twins, Alisa and Alan. And then Helen. Five children. I was too busy raising them to grow a garden.Money was tight, as well as time. Often when my children were little, one of them would want something that cost too much, and I'd have to say, "Do you see a money tree outside? Money doesn't grow on trees, you know."Finally, all five got through high school and college and were off on their own.I started thinking again about having a garden.I wasn't sure, though. I mean, gardens do cost money, and after all these years I was used to living on a pretty lean no-frills budget.Then, one spring morning, On Mother’s Day, I was working in my kitchen. Suddenly, I realized that cars were tooting their horns (按喇叭) as they drove by. I looked out of the window and there was a new tree, planted right in my yard. I thought it must be a weeping willow (垂柳), because I saw things blowing around on all itsbranches. Then I put my glasses on - and I couldn't believe what I saw. There was a money tree in my yard!I went outside to look. It was true! There were dollar bills, one hundred of them, taped all over that tree. Think of all the garden flowers I could buy with one hundred dollars! There was also a note attached: "IOU eight hours of digging time. Love, Marvin."Marvin kept his promise, too. He dug up a nice ten-by-fifteen foot bed for me. And my other children bought me tools (工具), ornaments (装饰物), a trellis (棚架), a sunflower stepping stone and gardening books.That was three years ago. My garden's now very pretty, just like what I wanted. When I go out and weed or tend my flowers, I don't seem to miss my children as much as I once did. It feels like they're right there with me.I live up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where winters are long and cold, and summers are way too short. But every year now, when winter sets in, I look out my window and think of the flowers I'll see next spring in my little garden. I think about what my children did for me, and I get tears in my eyes—every time.I'm still not sure that money grows on trees. But I know love does!76.The writer stopped thinking about having a flower garden because__ ___.A. she was too busyB.her children were off on their ownC. she was too oldD.her children had finished school77. The underlined word “no - frills〞 in the fourth paragraphs is similar in meaning to_____.A．painful B．tight C．looseD．helpful78. The “IOU〞 on the note is short for ___ .A. I Love YouB. I Belong to YouC. I Owe YouD. I Offer You79.The underlined part "Do you see a money tree in the yard? Money doesn’t grow on trees,"actually means______.A. We have many money treesB. We have enough money tobuy itC. We can’t afford to buy itD. We have muchmoney on the tree80.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passag e?A. The writer put one hundred dollar bills on the tree to decorate it.B.The writer was wearing her glasses when she saw the weeping willow.C.The children bought their mother a new garden and some gardening books.D.
