It is only when we cannot
17、 see perfectly that we come to see how important our eyes are. People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing, reading and sewing, becomes nearsighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant th
18、ings clearly. People who are farsighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty reading a book unless they hold it at arm“s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses too. Other people do not see clearly because their
19、 eyes are not exactly the right shape. This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people“s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts. Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them. When night falls, colors become fainter to the eye
20、 and finally disappear. After your eyes have grown used to the dark, you can see better if you use the sides of your eyes rather than the centers. Sometimes, after dark, you see a small thing to one side of you, which seems to disappear if you turn your head in its direction. This is because when yo
21、u turn your head, you are looking at the thing too directly. Men on guard duty sometimes think they see something moving to one side of them. When they turn to look straight at it, they cannot see it any more, and they believe they were mistaken. However, this mistake happens because the center of t
22、he eye, which is very sensitive in daylight, is not as sensitive as the sides of the eye after dark.（分数：10.00）(1).We don“t know that our eyes are of great importance until _.（分数：2.00）A.we think about our eyesB.we cannot see clearlyC.we wear glassesD.we have to do much reading(2).According to the pas
23、sage, a _ is more likely to be nearsighted.（分数：2.00）A.tailorB.doctorC.guardD.painter(3).Those who suffer from cataracts _.（分数：2.00）A.will become blindB.cannot be curedC.may be curedD.must move to other places(4).People who are farsighted _.（分数：2.00）A.cannot do a lot of close work without glassesB.ca
24、n only see things that are very close to their eyesC.have difficulty reading a book if they hold it at arm“s lengthD.have the same problem as the nearsighted people(5).To see a small thing at night, it is better to look _.（分数：2.00）A.with wide open eyesB.with half-shut or narrowed eyesC.straight at i
25、tD.in a slightly different direction四、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time. If corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he
26、uses and the language like other people“s. In the same way, children learning to do all the other things they learn without being taughtto walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicyclecompare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we n
27、ever give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him do it h
28、imself. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not. If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him
29、correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can“t find the way to get the right answer. Let“s end all this nonsense of grades, exams, marks. Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all
30、 educated persons must someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know. Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school teachers if they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be le
31、arnt at school and used for the rest of one“s life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and teachers say, “But suppose they fail to learn something essential, something they will need to get in the world?“ Don“t worry! If it is essential, they will go o
32、ut into the world and learn it.（分数：10.00）(1).What does the author think is the best way for children to learn things?（分数：2.00）A.By imitating what other people do.B.By making mistakes and having them corrected.C.By listening to explanations from learned people.D.By asking a great many questions.(2).W
33、hat does the author think the teacher should NOT do?（分数：2.00）A.They give children correct answers.B.They point out children“s mistakes to them.C.They allow children to mark their own work.D.They encourage children to imitate one another.(3).The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to
34、 ride a bicycle are _.（分数：2.00）A.not really important skillsB.as important as other skillsC.basically different from learning other skillsD.basically the same as learning other skills(4).Exams, grades and marks should be abolished because children“s progress should only be estimated by _.（分数：2.00）A.
35、educated personsB.the children themselvesC.each otherD.parents(5).The author fears that children will grow up into adults who are _.（分数：2.00）A.too independent of othersB.too critical of themselvesC.unable to think for themselvesD.unable to use basic skills五、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Most of us mi
36、ght think a life without pain would be sweat. Not so for three-year-old Gabby Gingras, who has a rare disorder which means she cannot tell when she is hurting herself. As a baby, she did not cry when given a blood test. While her teeth were growing, she bit her fingers until they bled and she hurt h
37、er tongue. When a tooth was knocked out, she did not cryall because she cannot feel physical pain. Now, she was partly blinded by her habit of putting one finger in her eyes. Her eyes improved only after Mr. Gingras made her wear goggles 24 hours a day. Doctors were confused by her conditions so her
38、 parents set about finding out for themselves. Mother Trish gave up job and finally found the answer on the Net. Gabby had a disorder that could not be cured. The family visited another suffererone of only 25 persons in the USbut admitted: “It“s discouraging.“ They discovered the 24-year-old-girl of

42、e has shown his _.（分数：2.00）A.sympathyB.humorC.worryD.excitement六、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Washington Irving was America“s first man of letters to be known internationally. His works were received enthusiastically both in England and in the United States. He was, in fact, one of the most successfu
43、l writers of his time in either country, delighting a large general public and at the same time winning the admiration of fellow writers like Scott in Britain and Poe and Thoreau in the United States. The respect in which he was partly owing to the man himself, with his warm friendliness, his good s
44、ense, his politeness, his gay spirit, his artistic integrity, his love of both the Old World and the New. Thackeray described Irving as a “gentleman, who, though himself born in no very high sphere, was most finished, polished, witty; socially the equal of the most refined Europeans“. In England he
45、was granted an honorary degree from Oxfordan unusual honor for a citizen of a young, uncultured nationand received the medal of the Royal Society of Literature.
