He can smell a flower and enjoys the beauty of the smell. People sometimes feel a pity about him, but he doesn’t think so. He tells them that he loves life a lot.Life is difficult for him, however. At home, he can’t look out of the window to see what the weather is like, and then decide what to wear. He can’t look at the clock on the wall to see what time it is. He uses his special watch or a radio for that. He must put everything in the same place in his house after using it. “If I don’t, I’ll spend a long time looking for it,” he laughs.Philip is a musician. He plays the saxophone (萨克管), but not in a band. He sometimes goes to The Cap, a hat store. On the sidewalk in front of The Cap he sits down. “I usually spend about four hours here. I’ll earn from $10 to $30. One evening I made almost $100. Another evening, someone stole (偷) everything. I guess he needed it more than I did,” he says.1. What does Philip think of his blindness?A. It’s a pity.B. He is happy about it.C. It doesn’t matter to him.D. He thinks he can also smell the flowers.2. How does Philip know the time?A. He looks at the clock on the wall.B. He hears the bird singing.C. He feels the sun moving in the sky.D. He uses his special watch.3 . Why does Philip put everything in the same place in his house？A. Because he can find them easily next time.B. Because he doesn’t want to make a mess in the house.C. Because that’s his family rule.D. Because he can’t find other places to put things.4. Where does Philip play the saxophone?A. In a band.B. At home.C. In front of a hat store.D. At The Cap.5. Which of the following is TRUE about Philip?A. He can’t go to any places.B. He loves life, although he is blind.C. He can play the violin.D. He often can’t find his things in his house.BPeople have sailed(航行) around the world in quite small boats. It is not an easy thing to do. Sometimes the weather gets bad. That can be the end of everyone in it. Accidents can happen easily and quickly.One family once had an accident with some big fish. The fish swam under their boat and bit(咬) holes in it. Sea water came in, of course, and the boat soon sank(沉没). However, these people had another smaller boat—a lifeboat and they all got into that. They lived and hoped for many days. They ate and slept, and always hoped. At last a ship found them.How do people live in a very small lifeboat? Perhaps for weeks or months? They must be strong in every way. They must have hope and they want to live. But you cannot eat and drink hope.You cannot drink seawater. If you drink a lot of seawater, you will quickly die. Sailors(海员) can drink rain water. They must catch rainwater in their boat. They must also catch fish and birds for food. Lifeboat does not carry a cooker(炊具) so thesailors cannot cook their food. Raw fish(生鱼) and bird-meat is not very nice. But there is no other choice in a lifeboat! The sailors must eat raw food, or they will die.1. When sailors’ boat sinks, their lifeboat gives them.A. foodB. bedsC. rainwaterD. hope2. One family once had an accident at sea, because .A. their boat was caught in bad weatherB. the boat knocked against (对着) a rock and sea water came inC. some fish bit through the bottom of their boatD. one of them knew how to sail in the sea3. Sailors can catch for food and drink at sea in a lifeboat.A. rain waterB. fish and birdsC. both seawater and rain waterD. both A and B4. Lifeboats do not often carry a cooker, which is .A. something used for cookingB. food for cookingC. a large boxD. a person who cooks food5. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Sailing around the world in quite small boats is not easy.B. All the food sailors have in a life-boat is cooked fish and bird-meat.C. Anyone who drinks a lot of sea water will die.D. No one can live for weeks in a lifeboat unless (除非) he is strong and wants to live.四、根据语境从方框中选择恰当的短语填空，有的需要变换形式。
