Question

15．I'm a 34-year-old man，married，lived in a nice house，and have a successful career as an educational consultant．But my life was not always so great．I had a learning disability from an early age．I went to a special school where I got plenty of extra help．Still，I suffered the rest of my school days in public schools．
My life improved remarkably when I discovered art．The art world gave me a chance to express myself without words．I went to a workshop and gradually got good at making things with clay（黏土）．Here I learned my first important lesson：disabled as I was in language．I could still be smart and well express myself with clay．And my confidence came along．
I got my next lesson from rock climbing．It was a fun thing but I was scared from the start．I soon noticed it wasn't a talent thing； it was practice．So I did it more．After about five years of climbing，I found myself in Yosemite Valley on a big wall．I learned that if you fall in love with something and do it all the time，you will get better at it．
Later I decided to apply my previous experience to learning how to read and write．Every day I practiced reading and writing，which I used to avoid as much as possible．After two hard years，I was literate．
Having gone through the long process with art，rock climbing，and reading and writing，now I've got to a point in my life where I know I am smart enough to dive into an area that is totally unknown，hard，but interesting．

56．What made the author's school days difficult？（No more than 5words）（His）learning disability．Or：Having a learning disability．Or：That he was learning disabled．Or：He had a learning disability．
57．Why did art give the author confidence？（No more than 10words）He could be smart and express himself with clay．Or：Art could help him express himself without words．Or：He could well express himself with clay/art．
58．What lesson did the author learn from rock climbing？（No more than 15words）If you enjoy something and keep doing it，you will get better at it．Or：The more you practice something，the better at it you will become．Or：Practice makes perfect．Or：Practice leads to success．
59．What is the meaning of the underlined part in Paragraph 4？（No more than 5words）I could read and write．
60．How does the author's story inspire you to overcome difficulties in life？Put it in your own words．（No more than 20words）We should not lose heart in face of difficulties．If we work hard，we will find a way out．Or：The author's story tells me that I should be confident and practice hard to overcome difficulties in my life．or：We should overcome our weakness and fears with courage and determination．．

Answer 1

分析 這是一篇記敘文．作者小的時(shí)候有學(xué)習(xí)障礙，所以學(xué)生時(shí)代學(xué)習(xí)很困難，但是他不放棄．當(dāng)他發(fā)現(xiàn)藝術(shù)時(shí)，他的生活有了明顯的改善，藝術(shù)給了作者自信，因?yàn)樗囆g(shù)可以幫助他不用語(yǔ)言也可以很好得表達(dá)自己．通過(guò)攀巖運(yùn)動(dòng)作者知道，如果你愛(ài)上了某事，然后一直去做，你就會(huì)比較擅長(zhǎng)它．通過(guò)不斷的練習(xí)，作者學(xué)會(huì)了讀書(shū)寫(xiě)字．

解答 56．根據(jù)第一段的"I had a learning disability from an early age．I went to a special school where I got plenty of extra help．Still，I suffered the rest of my school days in public schools．"可知，作者因?yàn)橛袑W(xué)習(xí)障礙，所以學(xué)生時(shí)代學(xué)習(xí)很困難．故答案為：（His） learning disability．Or：Having a learning disability．Or：That he was learning disabled．Or：He had a learning disability．
57．根據(jù)文章第二段的"disabled as I was in language，I could still be smart and well express myself with clay"可知，藝術(shù)給了作者自信，因?yàn)樗囆g(shù)可以幫助他不用語(yǔ)言也可以很好得表達(dá)自己．故答案為：He could be smart and express himself with clay．Or：Art could help him express himself without words．Or：He could well express himself with clay/art．
58．根據(jù)第三段的"I learned that if you fall in love with something and do it all the time，you will get better at it．"可知，作者通過(guò)攀巖運(yùn)動(dòng)得到的啟迪：如果你愛(ài)上了某事，然后一直去做，你就會(huì)比較擅長(zhǎng)它，即：熟能生巧．故答案為：If you enjoy something and keep doing it，you will get better at it．Or：The more you practice something，the better at it you will become．Or：Practice makes perfect．Or：Practice leads to success．
59．根據(jù)文章第四段的"Every day I practiced reading and writing，which I used to avoid as much as possible．After two hard years，I was literate．"可知，這句話的意思是：我會(huì)讀書(shū)寫(xiě)字．故答案為：I could read and write．
60．根據(jù)文章的內(nèi)容和最后一段的"Having gone through the long process with…，I've got to a pointin my life where I know I am smart enough to dive into an area that is totally unknown，hard but interesting．"可知，從作者的故事中我們學(xué)會(huì)，面對(duì)失敗我們不應(yīng)該灰心．故答案為：We should not lose heart in face of difficulties．If we work hard，we will find a way out．Or：The author's story tells me that I should be confident and practice hard to overcome difficulties in my life．or：We should overcome our weakness and fears with courage and determination．
