It 3 to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn’t been 4 . I believe in life now. I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so 5,otherwise. I don’t mean that I would prefer to go without my 6 I simply mean that the loss of them made me 7 the more what I had left.

Life,I believe,asks a continuous series of 8 to reality. The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments,the more 9 his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never easy. The hardest 10 I had to learn was to believe in myself. That was 11 If I hadn’t been able to do that. I would have 12 and become a chair rocker on the front perch (门廊) for the rest of my life.

It took me years to discover and 13 this belief. It had to start with the most elementary things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was 14 at me and I was hurt. “I can’t use this ,” I said. “ 15 it with you”’ he urged me ,“and roll it around. ” The words stuck in my head. “Roll it around!” By rolling the ball I could hear 16 it went. This gave me an idea on how to achieve a goal I had thought 17 ： playing baseball. At Philadelphia’s Over brook School for the Blind I invented a successful variation of 18 We called it ground ball.

All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them,one at a time.

[文章大意]本文讲述了灾难挫折是如何成就一个人的。作者在年幼时失明，在经历了多年的彷徨无助之后，终于在亲人朋友的帮助下，找回了自信，学会了如何面对困难，并且在纷杂的社会中找到了自己的一席之地，实现了自己一个又一个的梦想。

1. D后文"It would be wonderful to see again…"暗示出了意外之后"我"是看不见的，只能是依稀"记得"。故选D.

2. C如果能够再次看见固然好，但厄运也会给人们带来新的东西。前文中作者因意外失明，因此是"厄运，不幸的事情"。故选C.

3. A apply to适用于。

It occurred to sb that...某人突然想起……。故选A.

4. B如果"我"不曾看不见，"我"不会像现在这样热爱生活。故选B.

5. D "我"都不敢确定"我"本可以这么相信生活的。前文提到作者love life,故这里表达"深深地相信"，故选D.

6. C前文作者说"要不是因为眼睛看不见”我'不会如此热爱生活"，这里接着说"当然”我'不是说我宁愿眼睛看不见"。故选 C.

7. A视力的失去更让"我"珍惜"我"所拥有的，故选A.

8. D "我"认为生活就是不断对现实做出调整。根据后文make these adjustments可知此处选D.

9. A meaningful有意义的;painful痛苦的;.fearful害怕的; careful小心的。一个人越是乐意做出调整，那他的个人世界就会变得越有意义，故选A.

10. B pleasure令人髙兴的事;lesson教训，经验;enjoyment享受;trouble麻烦。最难学的一个经验是相信自己。

learn a lesson学习一个经验。故选B.

11. D unnecessary不必要的;horrible恐怖的;unpractical不切实际的;essential必要的，至关重要的。如果没有学会它， "我"将只会在门前的摇椅上度过"我"的余生。由此可知，那个教训对作者来说是至关重要的。故选D.

12. C break out爆发;break through突破jbreak down (机器，人) 垮掉；break off中断，断绝。根据后文语境"并且在门前的摇椅上度过'我'的余生"可知选C.

13. A strengthen加强;weaken削弱;shorten縮短;darken使变暗。根据语境"'我'花了很多年的时间去发现并坚定这个信念"，前文说这个教训很重要，所以应该是"加强"，故选A.

laugh at sb 嘲笑某人。故选B.

15. C根据语境"拿着，你可以把它放在地上滚"，选C.

16. A语境"通过听声音'我'可以知道它往哪里滚去了"。

where引导宾语从句。故选A.

17. D possible可能的;potential潜在的;probable大概的;im?possible不可能的。语境"这使'我'想到了怎样实现'我'认为不可能的那个目标：打棒球"，前文在别人给作者球玩的时候作者说"I can't use this",结合语境可知作者认为他玩棒球是不可能的。故选D.

18. B前文中提到作者玩棒球，因此推测这里也应该是"'我' 发明了一种棒球的新玩法"，故选B.

19. B conversation谈话;limitation限制;congratulation祝贺; education教育。根据语境"'我'必须学会正视自己的不足"，前文作者说要学会不断对生活做出调整，所以要知道自己的不足才能做出调整。故选B.

20. D achievement成就;process进步;success成就;failure 失败。根据语境"尝试一些超出能力之外的事情是没有意义的，因为它只会产生失败的苦涩"，这一句也再一次呼应前文中作者主张的"生活需要不断地对现实做出调整"。故选D.

Hello,boys and girls!Today,I am going to talk with what you should do when a fire alarm go off. If you hear the alarm,stand in line at the door and wait your teacher to lead you outside. Stay close to your teacher and classmate. Don’t panic or get out of line,and trying to remain quiet and calmly. Soon the firefighters will come and put out a fire. If it’s a false alarm and there is no fire,your teacher will lead us back to the classroom. If you notice that when someone is missing and hurt,tell your teacher immediately.

You’re on the third lap around the car park,because there are no open spaces,and you’re already 15 minutes late for your appointment. Right now you’re wishing you could jump out of the car and let it go and find its own spot.

Now there’s an app for that. Virtual Valet lets your;iPhone tell your car to park without you in it. “You pull up to the roadside,push a button on your smartphone and the car takes care of everything else,^w says Aeron Steinfeld,the lead researcher for the project at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh，Pennsylvania.

To find its own spot,the system uses a sensor suite similar to ones found in many luxury cars. This includes a motion sensor that scans for moving cars and pedestrians,and a forward-facing laser rangefinder normally found in adaptive cruise control to determine the distance of objects in front of the car. Information from these sensors is then fed to an onboard computer to plot the vehicle’s course. The user can watch the whole process from their phone.

Better still,it will be affordable. The team has spent the last year moving from high-end imaging and processing equipment to less expensive components. In experiments,the vehicle was able to navigate through a crowded parking structure,find an empty spot,and park all on its own. And the greatest appeal of the Virtual Valet Parking App is that it requires no change to existing parking facilities or infrastructure.

For the moment,the only car equipped for control by Virtual Valet is Carnegie Mellon’s modified (改进) Jeep Wranger,which the researchers have named NavLabll. But Steinfeld hopes that major car manufacturers will adopt the technology.

It might be more than technology that holds up the show,however. Self-driving cars have been licensed in only three US states—California,Nevada and Florida—and it’s unclear how this app would agree with self-driving laws. Until these questions are settled,your insurance provider might be unwilling to cover a ding (凹痕) from a parking incident.

( ) 5. It can be learned from the first two paragraphs that

A. parking lots are too crowded

B. parking spaces are too limited

C. your car can park automatically via a smartphone app

D. you can leave your car alone if you can’t find a parking spot

( ) 6. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?

A. How to determine the distance of objects.

B. How the Virtual Valet App works.

C. How to use the System.

D. How to analyze the information about the vehicle’s course.

( ) 7. The underlined word “plot” in Paragraph 3 probably means “ ”

A. draw B. circle

C. change D. follow

Patience is of great important in our daily life. Once I waited a bus to come at a stop. 30 minutes past,but no bus came. Both upset and annoyed,I decided to walk on feet. But no sooner had I left when the bus arrived. I thought if I had waited for one more minute,I would have caught it. If I chose to take a next bus,I would have to wait for other 30 minutes. Only then do I realize my problem. Being impatient will possibly waste all the effort that we have put it in. Now whenever I am close to lose my patience,I’ll think of this experience.
