Question

Michelle is blind, but she makes such good use of her other senses that guests rarely realize that she is blind.

When my daughter Kayla came back from her home, she was very  1   about her day. She told me that she had baked cookies, played games and done art projects. But she was especially excited about her finger-painting project. “I learned how to   2   colors today! Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green! Michelle   3  with us too. She said she liked how the paint feels through her fingers,” said Kayla.

Something about my child’s excitement caught my   4  . this made me sit down and take a look at my child and at myself.

Then Kayla said, “Michelle told me my picture showed joy,   5   and a sense of accomplishment. She   6  saw what I was doing!” Kayla said she had never felt how good finger-painting felt until Michelle showed her how to paint without looking at her paper.

This is when I realized Kayla didn’t know that Michelle was blind. It had just never   7   in conversation. When I told her, she was quiet for a moment. At first, she didn’t   8   me. “ But mommy, Michelle understood exactly what was in my picture!” Kayla insisted. I knew my child was   9  because Michelle had listened to Kayla when she  10   her artwork. Michelle had listened to Kayla’s pride in her work, and her wonder at her discovery of the way colors blend.

解析:

    本文講述的是一個名叫Michelle的盲人婦女利用自己的細心和耐心，在和人們，尤其是孩子的相處中和正常人無異，告訴我們，只要用心，沒有什么我們克服不了的。

【小題1】考查形容詞詞意辨析和語境的理解。后文出現(xiàn)的內(nèi)容，都是表示excited，所以可以據(jù)此推出答案。

【小題2】考查動詞詞意辨析和語境的理解。由Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green!知道這里表示混合。

【小題3】考查動詞詞意辨析和語境的理解。根據(jù)文章前面內(nèi)容She told me they had baked cookies, played games and done art projects以及該句后面的too可知Michelle和Kayla共同畫畫。

【小題4】考查名詞詞意辨析和語境的理解。catch one’s attention“吸引注意力”，孩子如此的興奮吸引了我的注意力。。

【小題5】考查名詞詞意辨析和語境的理解。后文Michelle had also heard Kayla’s pride in her work中pride以及joy, a sense of accomplishment為判斷依據(jù)。

【小題6】考查副詞詞意辨析和語境的理解。前文Michelle told me my picture showed joy, pride and a sense of accomplishment可以看出Michelle了解Kayla的作品。但是saw和后文的without looking at her paper是相反的，所以Kayla感覺Michelle真地能看到。

【小題7】考查動詞詞組辨析和語境的理解。come around恢復知覺,回來；come across偶遇；come through經(jīng)歷, 脫險；come up走近, 上來, 發(fā)芽,。由本句中的never 和in conversation說明從未討論過此事，所以用動詞come up。

【小題8】考查動詞詞意辨析和語境的理解。由下文知道Kayla不相信母親的話。

【小題9】考查形容詞詞意辨析和語境的理解。對于孩子提出問題，母親也有同感。

【小題10】考查動詞詞意辨析和語境的理解。前文She makes such good use of her other senses。后文的listened to和heard即是senses的內(nèi)容。傾聽是動作的過程，所以是傾聽描述的內(nèi)容
