题文

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 color red is. It would be wonderful to e 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 been blind. I believe in life now. I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply, otherwi. I don't mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had left.Life, I believe, asks a continuous ries 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 to learn was to believe in mylf. If I hadn't been able to do that, I would have collapd and become a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life. When I say belief in mylf I am not talking about simply the kind of lf confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar stairca alone. That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that: an assurance that I am, despite imperfections, a real, positive person; that there is a special place where I can make mylf fit.It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance. It had to start with the most elementary things. once a man gave me an indoor baball. I thought he was laughing at me and I was hurt. “I can't u 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 gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible: playing baball. All my life I have t ahead of me a ries of goals and then tried to reach them, one at a time. I had to learn my limitations. It was no good to try for something that I knew at the start was wildly out of reach becau that only invited the bitterness of failure. I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress.小题1:We can learn from the beginning of the passage that ________.A．the author lost his sight becau 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 e小题2:What's the most difficult thing for the author?A．How to adjust himlf to realityB．Building up assurance that he can find his place in lifeC．Learning to manage his life aloneD．To find a special work that suits the author小题3:For the author, the baball and encouragement offered by the man ________.A．hurt the author's feelingB．made the author puzzledC．directly led to the change of the author's careerD．inspired the author小题4:According to the passage, the author ________.A．t goals for himlf but only invited failure most of the timeB．thought that nothing was impossible for himC．was discouraged from trying something out of reach for fear of failureD．suggested not trying something beyond one's ability at the beginning 题型：未知难度：其他题型

答案

小题1:C小题2:D小题3:B小题4:D

解析

文章大意：本文讲述一位盲人因一次意外事故失明后如何克服困难，重新定位自己，取得人生价值的故事。小题1:C 细节理解题。第一段最后一句指出“所失去的让我更懂得珍惜现在拥有的”，故选C。作者失明是因为他从一辆货车(box car)A摔下来，而不是因为汽车事故，故排除A；B的推断没有原文依据；文中提到他渴望重见光明。D的表述与原文有出入。小题2:D 细节理解题。根据baball定位到倒数第二段。从该段最后两句可知棒球和那个男人的鼓励给作者以启示和鼓舞．故选D。小题3:B 细节理解题。the most difficult thing是The hardest lesson的同义改写，故可定位到第二段。该段首句指出最困难的事情是“相信自己”，故选B。小题4:D 推理判断题。最后一段第二、三句表明我们要意识到自己的局限性，在开始时尝试那些遥不可及的东西只会徒劳无益，故D正确。
