【题目】Close your eyes for a minute and imagine what life would be like if you had a hundred dollars less. Also imagine what it would be like spending the rest of your life with you eyes closed. Imagine having to read this page, not with your eyes but with your fingertips.
With existing medical knowledge and skills, two-thirds of the world’s 42 million blind should not have to suffer. Unfortunately, rich countries posses most of this knowledge, while developing countries do not.
ORBIS is an international non-profit organization which operates the world’s only flying teaching eye hospital. ORBIS intends to help fight blindness worldwide. Inside a DC-8 aircraft, there is a fully-equipped teaching hospital with television studio and classroom. Doctors are taught the latest techniques of bringing sight back to people there. Project ORBIS also aims at promoting peaceful cooperation among countries.
ORBIS tries to help developing countries by providing training during three-week medical programs. ORBIS has taught sight-saving techniques to over 35,000 doctors and nurses, who continue to cure tens of thousands of blind people every year. ORBIS has conducted 17 plane programs in China so far. For the seven to ten million blind in China, ORBIS is planning to do more for them. At the moment an ORBIS is working on a long-term plan to develop a training center and to provide eye care service to Shanxi Province. ORBIS needs your help to continue their work and free people from blindness.
For just US$38,you can help one person see; for $380 you can bring sight to 10 people; $1,300 helps teach a doctor new skills; and for $13,000 you can provide a training program for a group of doctors who can make thousands of blind people see again. Your money can open their eyes to the world. Please help ORBIS improve the quality of life for so many people less fortunate than ourselves.

【解析】
试题分析：这是一篇说明文。世界盲人多达4千万。为使贫富国家获得均等的医疗知识和技术，ORBIS组织举办flying teaching eye hospital，并且为之做了许多贡献。要让这个教学机构发挥更大作用，大家都不免出一份力吧！
【1】C写作意图题。 该段有三句话.连续用了三个imagine.。尤其后两句要读者想象一下：闭着眼睛度过余生将会怎样；用指尖不用眼睛阅读此文又会怎样（imagine what it would be like spending the rest of your life with you eyes closed. Imagine having to read this page, not with your eyes but with your finger-tips.）。作者的意图显然要大家体会一下盲人生活，从而引起读者阅读下文话题的兴趣。因此C选项正确。
【2】B细节理解题。 文章第二段告诉我们，当今世界医疗知识如此丰富，医疗技巧如此发达，4千万的盲人，2/3的不应该遭受失明的痛苦。然而医疗知识和技巧的拥有发达居多，而贫穷国家则无。显然是医疗知识和技巧的分配不均（Unfortunately, rich countries posses most of this knowledge, while developing countries do not.）。由此可知B选项正确。
【3】B 细节理解题。 文中第三段告诉我们，在ORBIS组织中医生被教给使盲人恢复视力的最新技术（Doctors are taught the latest techniques of bringing sight back to people there.）；在第四段中还可知ORBIS组织通过提供为期三个星期的培训课程来帮助发展中国家（ ORBIS tries to help developing countries by providing training during three-week medical programs.）； 该段还提到ORBIS 组织已教了三万五千多名医生护士相关的恢复视力技巧（ORBIS has taught sight-saving techniques to over 35,000 doctors and nurses, ）。由此得知，B选项与此意吻合。
【5】D大意归纳题。全文先以吸引读者关注盲人入手，然后介绍ORBIS组织运营的flying teaching eye hospital给全世界培训医生和护士所做出的贡献。最后倡导大家捐款来帮助ORBIS组织运营的flying teaching eye hospital。唯有C选项符合文章大意。A选项以及B选项范畴太大，不贴切。所以D 选项正确。
