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(合作) 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.

【解析】

試題分析：世界盲人多達4千萬。為使貧富國家獲得均等的醫(yī)療知識和技術，ORBIS組織舉辦flying teaching eye hospital，并且為之做了許多貢獻。要讓這個教學機構發(fā)揮更大作用，大家都出一份力吧！

1.主旨大意題。該段有三句話.連續(xù)用了三個imagine.。尤其后兩句要讀者想象一下：閉著眼睛度過余生將會怎樣；用指尖不用眼睛閱讀此文又會怎樣。作者的意圖顯然要大家體會一下盲人生活，從而引起讀者閱讀下文話題的興趣。因此選C。

2.細節(jié)理解題。文章第二段告訴我們，當今世界醫(yī)療知識如此豐富，醫(yī)療技巧如此發(fā)達，4千萬的盲人，2/3的不應該遭受失明的痛苦。然而發(fā)達國家擁有多數(shù)的醫(yī)療知識和技巧，而貧窮國家則無。顯然是醫(yī)療知識和技巧的分配不均。由此可知B選項正確。

3.細節(jié)理解題。 文中第三段告訴我們，在ORBIS組織中醫(yī)生被教給使盲人恢復視力的最新技術在第四段中還可知ORBIS組織通過提供為期三個星期的培訓課程來幫助發(fā)展中國家，ORBIS 組織已教了三萬五千多名醫(yī)生護士相關的恢復視力技巧。由此得知，B選項與此意吻合。

4.最佳標題題。 全文先以吸引讀者關注盲人入手，然后介紹ORBIS組織運營的flying teaching eye hospital給全世界培訓醫(yī)生和護士所做出的貢獻。最后倡導大家捐款來幫助ORBIS組織運營的flying teaching eye hospital。所以D 選項正確。

考點：醫(yī)療類文章

As more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000--7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations--UNESCO and National Geographic among them--have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.

Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Centre Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, working, and raising a family in a village in Nepal.

Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.

At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials-including photographs, films, tape recordings, and field notes--which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.

Now, through the two organizations that he has founded–the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project--Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, for the world available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet, Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.

1.Many scholars are making efforts to ______.

A. promote global languages

B. set up language research organizations.

C. search for language communities

D. rescue disappearing languages

2.What does “that tradition’ in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Telling stories about language users

B. Writing books on language teaching.

C. Having full records of the languages

D. Living with the native speaker.

3.What is Turin’s book based on?

A. The cultual studies

B. The documents available at Yale.

C. His language research in Bhutan.

D. His personal experience in Nepal.

4.Which of the following best describe Turin’s work?

A.Write, sell and donate.

B. Collect, protect and reconnect.

C. Record, repair and reward.

D. Design, experiment and report.

I sometimes just wanted to sit in the dark. I hate to admit this, or sometimes when I’m feeling bad, I’ll lock myself in the bathroom, turn away the lights and just sit on the floor. I don’t know what. Maybe I feel comfortable and relaxed in totally darkness. Sometimes, I just stare into the darkness without think of anything. Maybe I’m sitting there waiting for someone show up. I also think of all kind of things sometimes. I will not only think of the things that they happened in the past, but imagine what will happen in a future. It really helps as I will be happier after that.
