I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a car and landing on my head. Now I am thirty-two. I can vaguely remember the brightness of 1 and what color red is. It would be 2 to see again, but a(n) 3 can do strange things to people. I don’t mean I would 4 to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate more what I had 5.
My parents and my teachers saw something in me ----- a 6 to live ---- which I didn’t see, and they made me want to fight in out with 7.
The 8 lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. I am not talking about simply the kind of 9 that helps me down so unfamiliar staircase alone. I 10 something bigger than that: a confidence that I am, despite being 11, a real, positive person; that there is a special place where I can make myself fit.
It took me years to discover and strengthen this confidence. It had to start with the easy and simple things. 12 a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was laughing at me and I was 13. “I can’t use this,” I said. “Take with you,” he urged me, “and roll it around.” The words 14 in my head. “Roll it around!” By rolling the ball I could 15 where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought 16 before playing baseball. At Philadelphia’s Overbrook School for the Blind I 17 a successful variation of baseball.

It was no good crying for something that I knew at the start was 19 out of reach because that only invited bitterness of failure. I would fail something anyway, 20 on the average I made progress.

科目:高中英語 來源:20102011學(xué)年浙江嘉興一中高二上學(xué)期期中英語試題 題型:閱讀理解

    I am trying to muster (鼓起) the courage to toss away my mobile phone to enjoy a more peaceful and ring­free life.

    Can you imagine not having your mobile phone? In our high­tech, in­a­hurry age, a cell­free life is a hard concept to swallow. Our mobile phones can now access the Internet, and many people feel the need to express their every thought on their blog pages. If I gave up my cellphone, people would think I was mad.

    I wish I had the strength to toss away my technology. I have an office phone, a home phone,an e­mail and if people want to contact me, they can. If I’m out,people can leave a message. Do they really need to find me 24/7?However, I’m a bit like Frodo in the movie Lord of the Rings. The power of the ring is too strong and I can’t let it go.

    Mobile phones have become necessary tools in our busy life. For most people, they hold all contacts and many of us don’t write up address books any more. The latest phones carry our music, pictures, movies and everything else. We feel lost without this device and when we do misplace it, we feel cut off from our fellow.

    “Where have you been?” said a friend, who saw me a week after I lost my cellphone, “I tried calling you, but you disappeared. You disappeared off the face of the Earth.” See, when you don’t have a mobile phone, you don’t exist.

    I’m not really going to toss my mobile phone away, in fact. We humans are such social animals and mobile phones serve us well. So in 2009, I’ve decided not to serve my mobile phone. Like all machines, I can always turn it off.

1.

. What does the underlined phrase “toss away” mean?

  A. give away          B. get away     C. break away       D. throw away

2.

 The writer mentions Frodo to________.

  A. show it is difficult to get rid of the mobile phone

  B. show how much he likes Frodo

  C. suggest a cell­free life is what he wants

  D. introduce a film character to us

3.

What do we know about mobile phones in the 4th paragraph?

  A. Mobile phones can do anything for us.

  B. Mobile phones have become very important in our life.

  C. We could not live without mobile phones.

  D. We would be cut off by our fellow without mobile phones.

4.

What can be inferred from the last paragraph?.

  A. The writer is not really going to toss his mobile phone away.

  B. When you don’t have a mobile phone,you don’t exist.

  C. The writer decides not to serve his mobile phone.

  D. We humans can control ourselves and machines.
