Question

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？

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．
