When we are kids, we don’t know what we will overcome. At the age of thirteen, I fell ill. This
illness lasted three years and I missed a lot of schooling. Doctors tried their best to help me as much
as possible, but in the end this was something
I
just had to be used to. I felt little hope in life.
However, in my junior year of high school, I had a turning point. I discovered my gift for writing
and then I realized if I continued to let this problem hold me back, my dream would never come true.
So my state of mind changed. Going through the difficulty also gave me the strong desire to write.
Writing what mattered most to me helped me overcome what sickened me.
During my freshman and sophomore (
高中二年级的
) year I did not learn much due to illness.
So I became focused and determined and actually completed high school in two years instead of four.
At the close of my junior year, I had straight A’s and became an honor roll stu
dent. Seeing what I had
accomplished, I realized that having disadvantages doesn’t mean it is impossible to achieve success.
By
becoming
a
writer,
I’ve
become
a
reader.
While
performing
community
service
at
the
library, I read to those who are less fortunate and unable to read. From pre-school children to the
elderly, I enjoy my time reading to people of all ages. It is pleasing to see the awesomeexpressions
on their faces as the words become a vision in their minds. Giving back is one of the greatest gifts
you could give in life. It inspires me to write something people can learn from.

6. What’s probably the author’s disadvantage in her mind?
A. Missing schooling due to illness.

D. Failing to take exercise regularly.
7. What can we learn about the author?

B. The author encourages others to read for life.
C. The author wants to benefit others by writing.
D. The author prefers to be a reader rather than a writer.

In Kenya,
blind students and those with poor eyesight were still using Braille books for their
studies until recently.
Kenyan schools for the blind are now beginning to use technology that provides material in an
audible (
可听见的
) form. This has expanded possibilities for the students and taught them new
ways to communicate with technology.
17-year-old Lucas Mwanzia has been attending computer classes at the Thika School for the
blind for the past two years. He is in the eighth grade now. He started school at a later age because of
his poor eyesight. But using the new technology, he can search the Internet for biology class. He
says the technology has opened doors that once were closed and Braille books are costly and you
have to spend a lot of money to buy one. With computers, the books are available at little or no cost.
Zachary Muasya was born blind. He is now one of the school’s teachers. He has been teaching
the students how to use the technology for about two years now. He says the technology opens up
possibilities
that
can
level
the
playing
field
for
his
students.
“Assistive
technology
equips
the
learners with many skills that really make them independent in life,” says Muasya.
The assistive technology costs$$1,000 to set up. But a non-governmental organization called
InAble has provided it to the schools at no cost. Peter Okeyo, the program manager at InAble, says
blind students using the technology may still face difficulties when they move to higher education.
He
says
students
who
have
used
the
technology
through
high
school
might
not
have
it
at
the
university they attend. Those students might have difficulties if they have to go back to Braille, he
adds.
Four
out
of
Kenya’s
11
schools
for
the
blind
are
using
the
technolog
y.
InAble
says
it
will
provide the financing for the remaining schools to join the effort.
8. Why did Lucas Mwanzia start school so late?
A. His parents hadn’t enough money.
B. He was blind in both eyes.
C. He was too weak to walk.
D. His eyesight was poor.
9. Compared with Braille books, using the new technology is ________.
A. difficult.
C. challenging.
B. cheap.
D. boring.
10. What can we know about the technology according to Zachary Muasya?
A. It must be learned for two years
B. It can improve blind st
udents’ sight
C. It helps to make the playing field flatter
D. It makes blind students live by themselves
11. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Peter Okeyo is a blind person who works at InAble.
B. InAble is an organization that belongs to American government.
C. Not all the schools for the blind are now equipped with technology.
D. Blind students using the technology can’t finish higher education.

Herman
Melville,
the
writer
of
the
famous
whale
story
Moby
Dick,
wrote
that
humpback
whales (
座头鲸
) were
“the most light
-
hearted of all the whales.” They swim in ocean areas close to
land and are active at the surface often jumping out of the water and coming down with a great
splash. They are intelligent animals and can be seen working together as they hunt masses of small
fish. And, if you listen closely, you might even hear one singing.
Marine biologist Jim Darling has studied the songs of humpback whales for 25 years. While
recording whale song on a boat near Hawaii, he invited author Douglas Chadwick to experience
diving
with
a
humpback.
In
the
water,
the
way
Chadwick
heard
the
whale’s
songs
changed
completely. “Suddenly, I no longer heard the whale’s voice in my ears. I felt it inside my head and
bones.” He clearly sensed the whale’s silent awareness of h
im. The 13-meter-long giant looked him
over curiously, but never harmed him.
The whale then swam under the boat. It pointed its head down to the ocean floor and, with
flippers (
鳍
) extended out to its sides, began to sing. Up in the boat, Darling recorded the whale’s
song. Such songs may be long and complex, lasting for 30 minutes or more; they are perhaps the
longest songs sung by an animal.
Darling
says
that
only
male
humpbacks
sing,
but
for
unknown
reasons.
It
was
previously
thought that they sang to attract females, but scientists showed this was incorrect when they played
recordings of whale songs in the ocean and no females came around. Another idea is that male
humpbacks compete with each other using songs, just as other male animals do using antlers (
触角
).
In addition to their long and mysterious songs, humpbacks make a variety of other sounds as
they communicate every day. When alarmed by enemies such as killer whales, or when the feeding
1s especially good, the sounds they produce can be louder than an airplane engine.
During the days of heavy whale hunting, the world humpback population was reduced from an
estimated
125,000
to
around
6,000
animals.
Thanks
to
laws
against
hunting,
humpbacks
now
number perhaps 30,000 animals altogether. The constantly moving humpbacks are very difficult to
count. However, it now seems that this mysterious singer will continue to sing for years to come.
12. What may be the reason for humpback whales’ singing?
A. To compete with other males.
C. To communicate with humans.
B. To show they are light-hearted.
D. To look for food for their group.
13. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a situation in which humpbacks make sounds?
A. When they are frightened.
C. When they communicate with each other.
them.
14. What does the underlined word “this” refer to in Paragraph 4?
A. The idea that male humpbacks sing.
B. The idea that male humpbacks sing to attract females.
C. The idea that female humpbacks sing to attract males.
D. The idea that males compete with each other by singing songs.
15. What is this passage mainly about?
A. How to record humpbacks in the ocean.
B. How humpbacks communicate with people.
C. Humpback songs and what they might mean.
D. The career of a man who is interested in humpbacks.
B. When they have found lots of food.
D.
