But Helen Keller became a teacher and writer. She was in the hearts of millions of people.43 did this miracle(奇迹) happen? For the first seven years of her life she was almost like a 44 animal. Her mother and father did not know how to 45 her. She screamed, kicked and cried. She wanted very much to have others understand her, but there was no way she could do. 46 her parents decided to send for a family 47 to treat her. Some went away shortly after they spent a few days with her, until the 48 one — Annie Sullivan came, who seemed to be sent here by 49 , for during the rest of Helen’s life, she stayed with Helen to overcome (克服) a lot of unthinkable 50 .Sullivan was a lovely young woman with great patience and imagination.

You can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty or one hundred miles a day, just as you like. You can stop wherever you wish—where there is something interesting to see, at a good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal, or at a hotel to spend the night.

It was caused by a bad throw of a baseball. Why did it have to be me?If I admitted it, I would be in a lot of trouble.

I had never known my teacher to hit a student, but I feared she was going to start with me.“I know how you like birds,” she said as she stood looking down at my face. “Here is the field guide about birds that you always check out from our school library. It is yours now. We have got a new one for the school. You will not be punished(惩罚) .But remember, it’s only for your honesty.”I couldn’t believe it!

AOn my first day of high school,I asked an eleventh grader where my class was. And he told me it was “on the fourth floor,next to the pool.〞 I found out five minutes later that we don't even have a fourth floor and there's no pool either! Besides that,I didn't have any trouble with the older kid.I think the biggest difference between middle and high school is the homework load (工作量) and size of the school. I went from maybe fifteen minutes of homework a night to several hours,so I had to learn how to make full use of time! Our class size is around 550,but joining in clubs,sports,music,and other activities at school makes it easier to get to know people in every grade.The best advice I can give about the years you spend in high school is to learn things for yourself,not just to get a good grade. There have been so many tests that I've prepared for the night before,gotten an A,and not remembered anything later. I've changed that this year,and I enjoy school so much more. Don't take easy classes just to have a simple year. If you have a choice between chemistry and sports,the first will prove to be a lot more useful!While drinking and smoking might be present in some middle schools,they're also around in high school.

His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was the11 was that he found himself unable to ask for help —his mobile phone went out of 12 as a result of exhausted battery. Nothing could be done but to 13 in cold wilderness. It was eight hours later that day broke, and then the arrival of the rescue (营救).It is almost 14 that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his 15 , “First of all I checked up my physical conditions and found myself not in mortal danger. As there was no 16 to call for help, I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from bleeding. In this way I dozed off.”His story put an end to my regret for the 17 of an exploration adventure that happened last year. A group of young men 18 to explore a mountain cave and got lost.19 to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of 20 .

If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to 22 themselves, they would probably sense a faint light glimmering not far away.Don’t you think that you can compare it with 23 itself?

High school sweethearts Leonard and Hazel Cherry passed away last Thursday just hours apart, a sweet ending to their 74-year together.The couple were married in 1942 in Muldoon, Texas. Following their wedding ceremony at the start of World War II, Leonard enlisted in the Army Air Corps and became a B-24 bomber pilot. Luckily for the couple, he was never far from home as he was stationed at Carswell Army Air Corps Base in Fort Worth training others how to fly. Meanwhile, Hazel was a stay-at-home mom taking care of their only son, David. Once the war was over, Leonard worked as an auto body repairman in Fort Worth before opening an auto repair business in 1949, which the couple ran together for 31 years. The couple finally moved to Woodstock, Texas in 1980 to be close to their son and grandchildren.In their final days, Leonard who was 95, was placed at the St. Catherine Center, a hospice (临终安养院) in Waco, Texas, while 93-year-old Hazel, who was in good health, had just moved into the village at Providence Park, a facility right next door to her husband’s.Then on October 27, Leonard passed away just before 1 p.m. and his wife died just 10hours later at 11 p.m.“Every time I began to think about it, I began to smil e because of how much they loved each other. In my mind my grandfather was waiting for her in heaven with open arms,” Craig Cherry told KWTX. “Even in his ninety-fifth year, he still, when he talked about her, had a sparkle (闪烁的光) in his eye. A memorial service for them is scheduled for this Friday and I’m sure there won’t be a dry eye in the house.”29.What is the correct order for the events in the story about Leonard?① Leonard got married.② Leonard became a bomber pilot.③ Leonard moved to Woodstock, Texas.④ Leonard opened an auto repair business.⑤ Leonard worked as an auto body repairman in Fort Worth.A.①②⑤④③B.①⑤③④②C.②①③⑤④D.②①⑤④③30.Why did Hazel move into the village at Providence Park?A.Because she wanted to live independently.B.Because she wanted to receive medical care.C.Because she wanted to accompany her husband.D.Because she wanted to be close to her son and grandchildren.31.According to Craig Cherry,____________.A.he felt happy because they lived longB.Hazel died because of her deep love for LeonardC.everyone would feel extremely sorrowful for the lossD.the couple had affection for each other only at their advanced age32.What’s the best title for this passage?A.The Loving Couple B.The Long-lived CoupleC.A Sudden Death of Hazel D.Die Hours Apart for LoveResearchers from Arizona State University (ASU) published their latest report. When men expressed their opinions with anger, people considered them more believable. But when women expressed anger, they were viewed as more emotional and, thus, less convincing. In other words, a man could benefit from using anger in power and persuasion. A woman,however, could be ignored or hurt by her group if she expressed anger.The study was based on the responses of 210 students. They were shown evidence online from a murder (谋杀) trial. A man was said to have murdered his wife. The students were asked to decide if the man was guilty or not. Before making their decisions, the students discussed the case online with five jurors (陪审员). But these jurors were computers generating responses and comments. Some of the jurors had made identities. Others had female identities.Some male jurors were anger about the verdict (裁决). When this happened, the students reacted by doubting their own decisions about the case. Confidence in their responses on the verdict dropped. However, when female jurors seemed angry, the students became more confident in their original verdicts.Jessica Salerno, a psychologist and co-author of the study, said, “Our results pr ovide something important for any woman who is trying to have an influence on a decision in her workplace and everyday life.”In a political debate, a female candidate might have less influence if she shows anger. In the entertainment world, actor Jennifer Lawrence recently wrote that women and men in Hollywood get the opposite reactions when expressing their opinions angrily. “All I hear and see are men speaking their opinions,” she wrote. “When I give mine in the quite similar manner, you would have thoug ht I said something annoying.”33.What’s the new finding from the ASU report?A.Men usually do harm to angry women. B.Women are more likely to become angry. C.People prefer to believe the angry women. D.Angry men appear to gain influence in a group.34.In the study, the students would be sure about their decisions when_________. A.male jurors agreed with them B.they became angry with the jurors C.angry female jurors didn’t agree with them D.angry male jurors showed opposite opinions35.Jessica Salerno thinks the study ____________.A.helps women avoid losing influence B.asks men to get away from angry women C.causes men to change their attitude to women D.shows men and women should be treated equally36.The author supports Jessica Salerno by _____________.A.presenting research findings B.setting down general rulesC.making comparisons D.giving examplesIf there is one thing I’m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives—the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic (基因的) engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do—as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I’m pretty sure that it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read — sports and international news, etc.I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media. They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn’t happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.37.In the writer’s opinion, in the future, ___________.A.more and more people will watch TVB.newspapers will cover more scientific researchC.more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make newsD.newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer38.From the passage, we can infer that _____________.A.the writer believes some media will die outB.television will take the place of the newspaperC.newspapers will stay with us together with other mediaD.newspapers will win the competition among the different media39.The underline phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means “ ___________”. A.depend on B.compete withC.fight with D.kill off40.What is the best title for this passage?A.The Best Way to Get News B.Make Your Own NewspaperC.The Changes of Media D.The Future of Newspaper四、信息匹配阅读下面有关内容,请从A—F 选项中选出符合各段段意的最佳选项。

I learned about life from an ant farm. When I was seven years old, my family ____ an ant farm at home. First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box, and then we brought some ants from the backyard and placed them into the ____ home.Shortly after the new ____ were dropped into the glass structure, they got to work making tunnels. I was amazed that each one knew ____what to do. After hours of staring, I realized that the ants had assigned jobs. With my mom ' s help, I kept a diary of what happened each day and ____ the ants. My favorite was the biggest , Cinderella. I drew a picture of her in my diary, which I still have .One day a tragedy ____ the ant farm.While I was observing the ants , I had put my face so close to the structure that I accidentally ____ it over. Unfortunately, my carelessness caused all the tunnels to ____. Although the ants ____ their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was ____ as I watched them give up their tunnel-building to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm. My mother reported that the ants were actually dying of "frustration"--- the feeling annoyed and disappointed as they couldn’t control the situation . They simply could not ____ the reality that their tunnels had been destroyed. Cinderella was the last to die ---she did so while carrying a dead ant on her back .Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, ____ it taught me much more.____ the years, I came to realize the ants were a study in the benefits of ____. Working together, they were able to create a(an) ____ world for themselves. I also learned that they should be____ for their hard work. Day in and day out, each labored at their task.

A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.Frank Hurley's pictures would be outstanding—undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism—if they had been made last week.In fact,they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after adisastrous shipwreck(海难), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival.Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all,to the southernmost shore of Antarctica's Weddell Sea.From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled (雪橇) across the continent.The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done.Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort.Scott's last journey,completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world's imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds.Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography.Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic,was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.1. What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?A.They were made last week.B.They showed undersea sceneries.C.They were found by a cameraman.D.They recorded a disastrous adventure.2. Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?A.Frank Hurley.B.Ernest Shackleton.C.Robert Falcon Scott.D.Caroline Alexander.3. What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?A.Artistic creation. B.Scientific research.C.Money making. D.Treasure hunting.23. The latest discovery in cat research reveals that the lovely animal seems to have a basic grasp on both the laws of physics and the ins and outs of cause and effect.According to a newly published study, cats seem to be able to predict the location of hiding prey (猎物) using both their ears and an inborn understanding of how the physical world works.In a recent experiment, Japanese researchers taped 30 domestic cats reacting to a container that a team member shook. Some containers rattled; others did not. When the container was tipped over, sometimes an object fell out and sometimes it did n’t.It turns out that the cats were remarkably smart about what would happen when a container was tipped over. When an object did not drop out of the bottom of a rattling container, they looked at it for a longer time than they did when the container behaved as expected.“Cats use a causal-logical understanding of noise or sounds to predict the appearance of invisible objects,” lead researcher Saho Takagi says in a press release. The researchers conclude that cats’ hunting style may have developed based on their common-sense abilities to infer where prey is, using their hearing.Scientists have explored this idea with other endearing creatures: babies. Like cats, babies appear to engage in what’s called “preferential looking”—looking longer at things that are interesting or unusual than things they perceive (认知) as normal.When babies’ expectations are violated in experiments like the ones performed with the cats, they react much like their animal friends. Psychologists have shown that babies apparently expect their world to obey the laws of physics and cause and effect as early as two months of age.Does the study mean that cats will soon grasp the ins and outs of cause and effect? Maybe, Okay, so cats may not be the next physics faculty members at America’s most important research universities. But by demonstrating their common sense, they’ve shown that the divide between cats and humans may not be that great after all.1. What do we learn from a newly published study about cats?A.They can be trained to understand the physical world.B.They have a natural ability to locate animals they hunt.C.They know what kind of prey might be easier to hunt.D.They are capable of telling which way their prey flees.2. What may account for the cats’ response to the noise from the containers?A.Their command of cause and effect. B.Their unusual sense of direction.C.Their special ability to perceive. D.Their inborn sensitivity to noise.3. What can we conclude about cats from the passage?A.They have higher intelligence than the majority of animals.B.They display outstanding abilities in hunting and hearing.C.They can aid physics professors in their research work.D.They interact with the physical world much like humans.24. The problem of robocalls has gotten so bad that many people now refuse to pick up calls from numbers they don’t know. By next year, half of the calls we receive will be scams (欺诈). We are finally waking up to the severity (严重性) of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools, apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through. Unfortunately, it’s too little, too late. By the time these “solutions” become widely available (有效的), scammers will have moved onto cleverer means. In the near future, it’s not just going to be the number you see on your screen that will be in doubt. Soon you will also question whether the voice you’re hearing is actually real.That’s because there are a number of powerful voice manipulation (处理) and automation technologies that are about to become widely available for anyone to use. At this year’s I/O Conference, a company showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing human—sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist (接待员) and book a reservation without detection.These developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much worse. The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision. A decade of data breaches (数据侵入) of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mother’s name, and far more. Armed with this knowledge, they’re able to carry out individually targeted campaigns (活动) to cheat people. This means. for example, that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank teller’s, ricking you into “confirming” your address, mother’s name, and card number. Scammers follow money, so companies will be the worst hit. A lot of business is still done over the phone, and much of it is based on trust and existing relationships. Voice manipulation technologies may weaken that gradually.We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks. Phone carriers and consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating what is real. That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images, showing when and who they were made by or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards data-based communications—using apps like Face Time or WhatsApp, which can be tied to your identity. Credibility is hard to earn but easy to lose, and the problem is only going to harder from here on out.1. How does the author feel about the solutions to problem of robocalls?A.Terrified B.Confused.C.Embarrassed. D.Disappointed.2. Taking advantage of the new technologies, scammer can ______.A.aim at victims precisely B.damage databases easilyC.start campaigns rapidly D.spread information widely3. What does the passage imply?A.Honest y is the best policy.B.Technologies can be double-edited.C.There are more solutions than problems.D.Credibility holds the key to development.4. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.Where the Problem of Robocalls Is RootedB.Who Is to Blame for the Problem of RoboeallsC.Why Robocalls Are About to Get More DangerousD.How Robocalls Are Affecting the World of Technology25. Speed-reading is a necessary skill in the Internet age. We skim over articles, e-mails and WeChat to try to grasp key words and the essential meaning of a certain text. Surrounded with information from our electronic devices, it would be impossible to cope if we read word by word, line by line. 1A recent story from The Wall Street Journal reported on a book club in Wellington, New Zealand, where members meet in a cafe and turn off their smartphones. 2 The point of the slow reading club is to get away from electronic devices and read in a quiet, relaxed environment.Slow reade rs, such as the Atlantic’s Maura Kelly, say a regular reading habit sharpens the mind, improves concentration, reduces stress levels and deepens the ability to sympathize. 3 And this is a fundamental skill in building relationships.4 Screens have changed our reading patterns from the top-to-bottom, left-to-right reading order we traditionally used, to a wild skimming and skipping pattern as we hunt for important words and information. Because of the Internet, we may have become very good at collecting a wide range of interesting news, but we are also gradually forgetting how to sit back, reflect, and relate all these facts to each other.Slow reading means a return to an uninterrupted, straight pattern, in a quiet environment free of distractions. 5 “You can squeeze in that half hour pretty easily if only during your free moments, you pick up a meaningful work of literature,” Kelly said. “Reach for your e-reader, if you like. Kindles make books like War and Peace less heavy, not less substantive, and a lso ensure you’ll never lose your place.”26. 阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
