【解析】

文章大意：人生最艱難的一課就是學(xué)會(huì)相信自己。就像本文作者在黑暗中的堅(jiān)持一樣。

1.C　現(xiàn)在我已經(jīng)32歲了。我還“模糊地”記得陽(yáng)光是多么燦爛，紅色是多么鮮艷。vaguely“模糊地”；entirely“完全地”；nearly“幾乎”；simply“簡(jiǎn)單地，只”。

2.2】B　能恢復(fù)視覺(jué)固然好，“但”災(zāi)難也能對(duì)人產(chǎn)生奇妙的作用。

3.3】D　有一天我突然想到，倘若我不是盲人，我或許不會(huì)變得像現(xiàn)在這樣“熱愛(ài)”生活。

4.4】A　現(xiàn)在我相信生活，但我不能肯定如果自己是明眼人，會(huì)不會(huì)像現(xiàn)在這樣深深地相信生活。otherwise“否則，另外，在其他方面”；therefore“因此”；however“然而”；besides“而且”。

5.5】B　這并不意味著我寧愿成為盲人，而只是意味著失去視力使我更加“珍惜”自己其他的能力。appreciate“感激，欣賞”；understand“理解”；possess“占領(lǐng)，占有”；accept“接受”。

6.6】D　我必須學(xué)會(huì)的最艱難的一課就是相信自己，這是“基本”條件。basic“基本的”；enough“足夠的”；specific“明確的”；tough“艱難的”。

7.7】C　如做不到這一點(diǎn)，我的精神就會(huì)“崩潰”，只能坐在前門(mén)廊的搖椅中度過(guò)余生。collapse“崩潰，倒塌”；survive“度過(guò)，幸存”；escape“逃跑，逃避”；sacrifice“犧牲”。

8.8】D　“相信”自己并不僅僅指支持我獨(dú)自走下“陌生的”樓梯的那種自信，那是一部分。belief“相信，信仰”；hope“希望”；power“權(quán)力”；courage“勇氣”。

9.9】A　見(jiàn)上題解析。unfamiliar“陌生的”；unbelievable“令人難以置信的，非常驚人的”；unexpected“出乎意料的”；uncomfortable“不舒服的，令人不舒服的”。

10.0】B　我指的是“大事”：確保自有我可以安身立命的一席之地。

11.1】B　我花了很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間才樹(shù)立并不斷“加強(qiáng)”這一信念。strengthen“加強(qiáng)”；weaken“(使)削弱，(使)變?nèi)酢保籹harpen“使鋒利”；brighten“使明亮”。

12.2】D　這要從最簡(jiǎn)單的事做起。有一次一個(gè)人給我一個(gè)室內(nèi)玩的棒球，我以為他在嘲笑我，“心里很難受”。hurt“使受傷，使傷心”；upset“使心煩意亂”；flattered“過(guò)分夸獎(jiǎng)的，高興的，感到榮幸的”；ashamed“慚愧的，羞恥的”。

13.3】A　“你拿去，”他“竭力”勸我，“在地上滾球。”urge“催促，力勸”；promise“答應(yīng)，許諾”；convince“說(shuō)服，使相信”；advise“建議”。

14.4】C　他的話在我腦子里生了根。be stuck in“陷入，卡住不動(dòng)，困住”。

15.5】B　滾球使我“聽(tīng)見(jiàn)”它朝哪兒滾動(dòng)。

16.6】A　我馬上想到一個(gè)我曾認(rèn)為“不可能”達(dá)到的目標(biāo)：打棒球。impossible“不可能的”；important“重要的”；imaginary“假想的，虛構(gòu)的”；impressive“給人印象深刻的，感人的，引人注目的”。

17.7】C　在費(fèi)城的奧弗布魯克盲人學(xué)校，我“發(fā)明”了一種很受人歡迎的棒球游戲，我們稱(chēng)它為地面球。invent“發(fā)明”；produce“生產(chǎn)”；imitate“模仿，效仿”；spot“認(rèn)出，發(fā)現(xiàn)”。

18.8】A　我這一輩子給自己樹(shù)立了一系列“目標(biāo)”，然后努力去達(dá)到，一次一個(gè)。goal“目標(biāo)”；effort“努力”；direction“方向”；barrier“障礙，屏障”。

19.9】D　我必須了解自己能力“有限”，若開(kāi)始就知道某個(gè)目標(biāo)根本達(dá)不到卻硬要去實(shí)現(xiàn)，那不會(huì)有任何好處，因?yàn)槟侵粫?huì)帶來(lái)失敗的苦果。limitation“限制，局限”；challenge“挑戰(zhàn)”；strength“力量，長(zhǎng)處”；situation“局面，局勢(shì)”。

20.20】C　我有時(shí)也失敗過(guò)，但一般來(lái)說(shuō)總有“進(jìn)步”。progress“進(jìn)步”；history“歷史”；change“變化”；sense“感覺(jué)，官能，意識(shí)”。

Brighton: It is a seaside resort on the English Channel. Only 50 miles from London, it offers a good variety of lively entertainment. It is a cheerful place, busy and crowded in the summer, but alive in every season of the year. Its royal pavilion(布萊頓皇宮)is a masterpiece of English architecture.

Durham: Whatever travelers see or don't see in England, they must see this city, in the northeast, just south of Newcastle­upon­Tyne. No one will forget the sight of its cathedral(教堂)and castle rising together on a steep hill overlooking a loop in the River Wear, which almost surrounds them.

Edinburgh: It has long been the capital of Scotland. Edinburgh Castle is Edinburgh's important building, controlling the city from its perch on a rock over a hundred meters above sea level. Another important building is the Palace of Holyrood House, begun by James Ⅲ around 1500.

As we enjoy the summer ocean waves along the beaches, we may think nervously about Steven Spielberg's Jaws and the great fear that sharks inspire in us. Yet we are happy to see global efforts to protect the declining number of sharks. The world has realized that we need the species, like sharks, to keep a balanced ecosystem.

Sharks, in particular, are “in” these days. Thanks to good public policy and famous stars such as Jackie Chan and Ang Lee, killing sharks for fin soup is no longer cool.

The demand for shark fins has been rising for decades, threatening sharks with extinction(滅絕)—up to 100 million sharks are killed each year just for their fins. But we have started to reverse the trend, particularly in many areas of the United States and overseas where restaurants once proudly provided delicious shark fins on the menu.

In California, a ban on the sale and possession of shark fin soup has gone into effect this year through the efforts of Wild Aid and other organizations.

Overseas marketing and public efforts featuring posters on public transportation systems and TV ads have been underway for the past few years. These efforts all show signs of success, on both the supply side and the demand side of trade in shark fins.

Actually, stopping the killing of sharks is part of a broader movement to stop the killing of wild animals and the buying and selling of wildlife products. These products come from hunting elephants, tigers and rhinos, besides killing marine life.

Whether it is shark fin soup or ivory piano keys, killing animals is big business. The hunting of elephants in search of ivory tusks for luxury(奢侈的)goods has become a full­scale war. The decrease of African elephant populations is alarming. Together with international partners, the United States is leading the worldwide effort to reduce demand for high­end products that rely on killing animals.

1.The underlined word “reverse” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.

A．show　　　　　　　　B．keep

C．follow D．change

2.From the passage, we know ________.

A．Jackie Chan and Ang Lee make fin soup popular

B．a(chǎn) lot of wild animals have been killed for products

C．Steven Spielberg's Jaws inspires us to protect sharks

D．the number of African elephants has been increased

3.．What can we infer from the passage?

A．More animals for high­end products will be saved.

B．People have kicked the habit of having shark fin soup.

C．Shark fins will not be available any more in restaurants.

D．Global efforts have succeeded in stopping killing wild animals.
