I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car in a freight (貨運(yùn)) yard in Atlantic City and landing on my head. Now I am thirty-two. I can slightly 1        the brightness of sunshine and what colour red is. It would be wonderful to see again,but 2        can do strange things to people.    ;

  It 3        to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn’t been 4     . I believe in life now. I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so 5,otherwise. I don’t mean that I would prefer to go without my 6        I simply mean that the loss of them made me 7      the more what I had left.

  Life,I believe,asks a continuous series of 8        to reality. The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments,the more 9      his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never easy. The hardest 10      I had to learn was to believe in myself. That was 11      If I hadn’t been able to do that. I would have 12      and become a chair rocker on the front perch (門廊) for the rest of my life.

  It took me years to discover and 13        this belief. It had to start with the most elementary things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was 14        at me  and I was hurt. “I can’t use this ,” I said. “  15 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 16      it went. This gave me an idea on how to achieve a goal I had thought 17      ： playing baseball. At Philadelphia’s Over brook School for the Blind I invented a successful variation of 18      We called it ground ball.

  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 19      It was no good to try for something I knew at the start which was wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of 20      I would fail sometimes anyway but on average I made progress.

[文章大意]本文講述了災(zāi)難挫折是如何成就一個人的。作者在年幼時失明，在經(jīng)歷了多年的彷徨無助之后，終于在親人朋友的幫助下，找回了自信，學(xué)會了如何面對困難，并且在紛雜的社會中找到了自己的一席之地，實(shí)現(xiàn)了自己一個又一個的夢想。

1. D后文"It would be wonderful to see again…"暗示出了意外之后"我"是看不見的，只能是依稀"記得"。故選D.

2. C如果能夠再次看見固然好，但厄運(yùn)也會給人們帶來新的東西。前文中作者因意外失明，因此是"厄運(yùn)，不幸的事情"。故選C.

3. A apply to適用于。

It occurred to sb that...某人突然想起……。故選A.

4. B如果"我"不曾看不見，"我"不會像現(xiàn)在這樣熱愛生活。故選B.

5. D "我"都不敢確定"我"本可以這么相信生活的。前文提到作者love life,故這里表達(dá)"深深地相信"，故選D.

6. C前文作者說"要不是因?yàn)檠劬床灰姟蔽?不會如此熱愛生活"，這里接著說"當(dāng)然”我'不是說我寧愿眼睛看不見"。故選   C.

7. A視力的失去更讓"我"珍惜"我"所擁有的，故選A.

8. D "我"認(rèn)為生活就是不斷對現(xiàn)實(shí)做出調(diào)整。根據(jù)后文make these adjustments可知此處選D.

9. A meaningful有意義的;painful痛苦的;.fearful害怕的; careful小心的。一個人越是樂意做出調(diào)整，那他的個人世界就會變得越有意義，故選A.

10. B pleasure令人髙興的事;lesson教訓(xùn)，經(jīng)驗(yàn);enjoyment享受;trouble麻煩。最難學(xué)的一個經(jīng)驗(yàn)是相信自己。

learn a lesson學(xué)習(xí)一個經(jīng)驗(yàn)。故選B.

11. D unnecessary不必要的;horrible恐怖的;unpractical不切實(shí)際的;essential必要的，至關(guān)重要的。如果沒有學(xué)會它， "我"將只會在門前的搖椅上度過"我"的余生。由此可知，那個教訓(xùn)對作者來說是至關(guān)重要的。故選D.

12. C break out爆發(fā);break through突破jbreak down (機(jī)器，人) 垮掉；break off中斷，斷絕。根據(jù)后文語境"并且在門前的搖椅上度過'我'的余生"可知選C.

13. A strengthen加強(qiáng);weaken削弱;shorten縮短;darken使變暗。根據(jù)語境"'我'花了很多年的時間去發(fā)現(xiàn)并堅(jiān)定這個信念"，前文說這個教訓(xùn)很重要，所以應(yīng)該是"加強(qiáng)"，故選A.

14. B語境"'我'以為他在嘲笑我”我'很傷心"。

laugh at sb 嘲笑某人。故選B.

15. C根據(jù)語境"拿著，你可以把它放在地上滾"，選C.

16. A語境"通過聽聲音'我'可以知道它往哪里滾去了"。

where引導(dǎo)賓語從句。故選A.

17. D possible可能的;potential潛在的;probable大概的;im?possible不可能的。語境"這使'我'想到了怎樣實(shí)現(xiàn)'我'認(rèn)為不可能的那個目標(biāo)：打棒球"，前文在別人給作者球玩的時候作者說"I can't use this",結(jié)合語境可知作者認(rèn)為他玩棒球是不可能的。故選D.

18. B前文中提到作者玩棒球，因此推測這里也應(yīng)該是"'我' 發(fā)明了一種棒球的新玩法"，故選B.

19. B conversation談話;limitation限制;congratulation祝賀; education教育。根據(jù)語境"'我'必須學(xué)會正視自己的不足"，前文作者說要學(xué)會不斷對生活做出調(diào)整，所以要知道自己的不足才能做出調(diào)整。故選B.

20. D achievement成就;process進(jìn)步;success成就;failure 失敗。根據(jù)語境"嘗試一些超出能力之外的事情是沒有意義的，因?yàn)樗粫a(chǎn)生失敗的苦澀"，這一句也再一次呼應(yīng)前文中作者主張的"生活需要不斷地對現(xiàn)實(shí)做出調(diào)整"。故選D.

 You’re on the third lap around the car park,because there are no open spaces,and you’re already 15 minutes late for your appointment. Right now you’re wishing you could jump out of the car and let it go and find its own spot.

  Now there’s an app for that. Virtual Valet lets your;iPhone tell your car to park without you in it. “You pull up to the roadside,push a button on your smartphone and the car takes care of everything else,w says Aeron Steinfeld,the lead researcher for the project at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh，Pennsylvania.

  To find its own spot,the system uses a sensor suite similar to ones found in many luxury cars. This includes a motion sensor that scans for moving cars and pedestrians,and a forward-facing laser rangefinder normally found in adaptive cruise control to determine the distance of objects in front of the car. Information from these sensors is then fed to an onboard computer to plot the vehicle’s course. The user can watch the whole process from their phone.

  Better still,it will be affordable. The team has spent the last year moving from high-end imaging and processing equipment to less expensive components. In experiments,the vehicle was able to navigate through a crowded parking structure,find an empty spot,and park all on its own. And the greatest appeal of the Virtual Valet Parking App is that it requires no change to existing parking facilities or infrastructure.

  For the moment,the only car equipped for control by Virtual Valet is Carnegie Mellon’s modified (改進(jìn)) Jeep Wranger,which the researchers have named NavLabll. But Steinfeld hopes that major car manufacturers will adopt the technology.

  It might be more than technology that holds up the show,however. Self-driving cars have been licensed in only three US states—California,Nevada and Florida—and it’s unclear how this app would agree with self-driving laws. Until these questions are settled,your insurance provider might be unwilling to cover a ding (凹痕) from a parking incident.

(   ) 5. It can be learned from the first two paragraphs that      

   A. parking lots are too crowded

   B. parking spaces are too limited

   C. your car can park automatically via a smartphone app

   D. you can leave your car alone if you can’t find a parking spot

(   ) 6. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?

   A. How to determine the distance of objects.

   B. How the Virtual Valet App works.

   C. How to use the System.

   D. How to analyze the information about the vehicle’s course.

(   ) 7. The underlined word “plot” in Paragraph 3 probably means “     ”

   A. draw   B. circle

   C. change   D. follow

Patience is of great important in our daily life. Once I waited a bus to come at a stop. 30 minutes past,but no bus came. Both upset and annoyed,I decided to walk on feet. But no sooner had I left when the bus arrived. I thought if I had waited for one more minute,I would have caught it. If I chose to take a next bus,I would have to wait for other 30 minutes. Only then do I realize my problem. Being impatient will possibly waste all the effort that we have put it in. Now whenever I am close to lose my patience,I’ll think of this experience.
