10.Ben Underwood is blind.Both eyes were removed when he was just three years old,leaving him with no vision at all.So how on earth does he ride his bicycle,play football and basketball?
Ben uses many common aids for the blind,like speaking software.He's also written a book and does his schoolwork on a hi-tech Braille writer.But what's unusual is what he doesn't use.Ben has no guide dog and never uses a white cane.He doesn't even use his hands.Instead,he sees with sound.Amazingly,Ben's ears pick up the echoes(回聲)and he can precisely locate where things are.Ben is the only person in the world who sees using nothing but echolocation.
Ben was born perfectly healthy,with dark eyes like his mum.But,when he was two she looked into his eyes and saw something was terribly wrong.This is a rare infant eye cancer that affects only one in every six million.In an attempt to save his sight,doctors immediately began intense chemo and radio therapy,but like a lead balloon.His eyes had been removed.
Just one year after the operation to remove his eyes,in the car he asked his mum what the big building was that they were passing.Ben's ears were picking up the sounds of the city traffic reflecting from the building's surfaces.His mum let him play in the street because his sound pictures seemed to make him more aware of danger than his sighted friends.
There's nothing his friends can do that Ben Underwood won't attempt and conquer.Doctors suspect that Ben Underwood has developed super-hearing to make for his loss of sight.However,tests show that he has only normal hearing.So,has Ben's brain learned to translate the sound he hears into visual information?

29.What is the main idea of the passage?B
A.How to see with ears.
B.A boy's poor life without eyes.
C.The way to fight with fate.
D.A boy who"sees"without eyes.
30.In what way does Ben have much common with other blind people?D
A.He uses a white cane in his everyday life.
B.He takes advantaged of computer software.
C.He feels the same echolocation as others do.
D.He uses his ears instead of his both hands.
31.What does the underlined part mean in Paragraph 3?C
A.His eye looked like a ball.
B.The doctor stopped their efforts.
C.Nothing really worked.
D.His mother was frightened.
32.What can we infer from the passage?A
A.The case of Ben has shocked the doctors.
B.The case of Ben is common to children.
C.Quite a few believe what Ben has said.
D.lien does have the super-hearing ability.

分析 短文主要講了Ben Underwood失去眼睛后,使用聽力代替視覺,能通過聲音察覺事物.

解答 29.B.主旨大意題,短文主要講了Ben Underwood失去眼睛后,使用聽力代替視覺,能通過聲音察覺事物,因此主要講的是失去眼睛的一個不幸的小男孩,故答案為B.
30.D.細節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)句子He doesn't even use his hands.Instead,he sees with sound可知,Ben Underwood跟其他盲人一樣使用耳朵而不是雙手,故答案為D.
31.C.句子理解題,由后面一句His eyes had been removed"他的眼睛還是移除了"可以推測前面意思的治療是沒起作用的,故答案為C.
32.A.推理判斷題,根據(jù)句子Doctors suspect that Ben Underwood has developed super-hearing to make for his loss of sight.However,tests show that he has only normal hearing.可知醫(yī)生認為Ben Underwood有超乎常人的聽力,但測試表明他的聽力跟常人一樣,可見Ben這個案例讓醫(yī)生感到震驚,故答案為A.

點評 解答任務型閱讀理解題,首先對原文材料迅速瀏覽,掌握全文的主旨大意.因為閱讀理解題一般沒有標題,所以,速讀全文,抓住中心主旨很有必要,在速讀的過程中,應盡可能多地捕獲信息材料.其次,細讀題材,各個擊破.掌握全文的大意之后,細細閱讀每篇材料后的問題,弄清每題要求后,帶著問題,再回到原文中去尋找、捕獲有關(guān)信息.最后,要善于抓住每段的主題句,閱讀時,要有較強的針對性.對于捕獲到的信息,要做認真分析,仔細推敲,理解透徹,只有這樣,針對題目要求,才能做到穩(wěn)、準.

The passage tells us what family values are,how they are formed and the important role they play in holding the family together as well as shaping our own personality(高分句型一).Family values are what we live by,always directing what we do and what decisions we make.A child is born into a family and becomes a part of the society later.So there have to be certain principles in place to determine one's behaviour and ensure a harmonious society.
My family values were primarily shaped by my mother.In my childhood,she always taught me the importance of honesty,saying that mistakes in life are unavoidable,but I should never sacrifice my honesty to cover for my mistakes(高分句型二).
Honesty has been with me ever since.That is why many friends come to me for help.As my mother said,When we are honest,we earn others'trust and society's credit..
