16.Last December,Doris Low turned 90.Once a week she still drives to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) in Toronto,where she helps transform literature into Braille (CNIB) to bring the power of story and knowledge to the hears and minds of blind readers.She has been volunteering her time and talents to such enterprises foe more than 40years.After working in the business world for a while,Low got fed up.So she turned to teaching at a technical school and later moved into the library.
Low's mother liked reading.As her eyes began to fail,low read to her.Then"hearing an advertisement encouraging people to learn Braille,I decided to give it a try."In 1973,she was certified as a braille transcriber (转译者) and began transcribing books as a volunteer for the CNIB library.
The job was strenuous---she could get to the end of a page,make a mistake on the last line,and have to do the whole thing again.For a number of years,low also worked in the CNIB sound studio reading books onto tape.Three years ago,she took up proofreading (校对) at the CNIB's word factory.
In April,during Volunteer Week,the CNIB recognized Low for her great contributions.Thanks to volunteers like Low,the CNIB library has got more than 80,000accessible materials for people unable to read traditional print."I can't imagine how many readers of all ages have benefited from
Doris's contribution as a skilled volunteer through her rich voice and her high degree of accuracy in the hundreds of books she has brailled and proofread over the years---and she is still doing so,"said a CNIB official.
"For me,"said Low,"the CNIB is more than just a place to volunteer.Three thins matter most in my life:a little play,a little work,a little love.I've found them all here."

分析 文章大意:Doris Low 到去年12月份就90岁了.但是她从事志愿者活动已经有40年了.她的工作是把故事和知识传播给盲人读者通过吧文学作品翻译成布莱叶盲文.有时还要读录成磁带.三年前她又从事校对工作.这个工作很辛苦,但是她喜欢.
解答 56.She helps transform literature into Braille ( for blind readers/the blind). 细节理解题. 根据文章第一段第二句话可知,Low现在90岁仍然在CNIB从事帮助把文学作品翻译成布莱叶盲文的工作.所以回答 She helps transform literature into Braille (for blind readers/the blind).
57.(Because ) her mother's eyes began to fail ans she heard an/the advertisement. 细节理解题.根据文章第三段可知,因为她的妈妈喜欢阅读,但是她的视力变差了,而她也听到了一则鼓励人们学习布莱叶盲文的广告.所以回答(Because) her mother's eyes began to fail and she heard an/the advertisement.
58.Difficult/Hard/tiring/tough,词义判断题.第四段开头,破折号是对画线的词strenuous 的解释,都做到最后了,因为一个错误就必须从新做.所以strenuous的同义词是Difficult/Hard/tiring/tough.(很累、很难.)
59.she has brailled and proofread hundreds of books,and read books onto tape. 细节理解题.根据文章倒数第二段后三行I can't imagine how many readers of all ages have benefited from Doris's contribution as a skilled volunteer through her rich voice and her high degree of accuracy in the hundreds of books she has brailled and proofread over the years---and she is still doing so,"said a CNIB official.可知她为这个图书馆转换了很多盲文书籍还为很多的磁带配音.
60 Low is kind and helpful because she has devoted much time to transcribing books into Braille as a volunteer.
Or Low is a kin-hearted lady with a positive attitude toward life because she takes delight in helping others. 推理判断题.她是一个很善良的人,作为志愿者她为了看不见的盲人转换了很多盲文书籍还为很多的磁带配音.根据文章最后Three things matter most in my life:a little play,a little work,a little love.I've found them all here."可知她以帮助他人为乐.
点评 阅读理解题目的题型是客观的,而阅读表达的题型则是主观的,这不仅需要考生将文章理解,还需要将自己对文章的理解通过自己的语言表达出来,而且要受到字数的限制.这就是说阅读理解只是要求学生将文章及题目中的信息理解了,就能作对题目,而阅读表达不仅要求学生理解文章和题目而且要把文章中的信息用自己的语言表达出来,是一种信息的输出.
