    When the first white men arrived in Samoa, they found blind men, who could see well enough to describe things in detail just by holding their hands over objects. In France, Jules Roman tested hundreds of blind people and found a few who could tell the difference between light and dark. He narrowed their photosensitivity(感光灵敏度) down to areas on the nose or in the finger tips. In 1960 a medical board examined a girl in Virginia and found that, even with thick bandages over her eyes, she was able to distinguish different colours and read short sections of large print.

    Rosa Kuleshova, a young woman in the Urals, can see with her fingers. She is not blind, but because she grew up in a family of blind people, she learned to read Braille to help them and then went on to teach herself to do other things with her hands. She was examined by the Soviet Academy of Science, and proved to be genuine, Shaefer made an intensive study with her and found that, securely blindfolded with only her arms stuck through a screen, she could tell the difference between three primary colours. To test the possibility that the cards reflected heat differently, he heated some and cooled others without affecting her response to them. He also found that she could read newsprint under glass, so texture was giving her no clues. She was able to identify the colour and shape of patches of light projected on to her palm or on to a screen. In rigidly controlled tests, with a blindfold and a screen and a piece of card around her neck so wide that she could not see round it, Rosa read the small print in a newspaper with her elbow. And, in the most convincing demonstration of all, she repeated these things with someone standing behind her pressing hard on her eyeballs. Nobody can cheat under this pressure.

    31. The first white men to visit Samoa found people who ______.

    A) were not entirely blind

    B) described things by touching them

    C) could see with their hands

    D) could see when they hold out their hands

    Jane was walking round the department store. She remembered how difficult _31_ was to choose a suitable Christmas present for her father. She wished that he was as easy _32_ (please)as her mother,who was always delighted with perfume.

    Besides,shopping at this time of the year was not _33_ pleasant experience: people stepped on your feet or _34_ (push)you with their elbows(肘部),hurrying ahead to get to a bargain.

    Jane paused in front of a counter _35_ some attractive ties were on display. “They are real silk,”the assistant tried to attract her. “Worth double the price.” But Jane knew from past experience that her _36_ (choose)of ties hardly ever pleased her father.

    Jane stopped where a small crowd of men had gathered. She found some good quality pipes _37_ sale. She did not hesitate for long: although her father smoked a pipe only once in a while, she knew that this was a present which was bound to please _38_.

    When Jane got home,with her small but well-chosen present in her bag,her parents were already _39_ table having supper. Her mother was excited. “Your father has at last decided to stop smoking,” Jane _40_ (inform).


    正确答案:

    31. 【答案】it。
    【解析】在宾语从句中作形式主语,真正的主语是to choose…。
    32. 【答案】to please。
    【解析】在形容词后作状语,只能用动词不定式。
    33. 【答案】a。
    【解析】表示“一次”愉快的经历。
    34. 【答案】pushed。
    【解析】与stepped并列,也用一般过去时。
    35. 【答案】where。
    【解析】因两句之间没有连词,必定是填连词;后句是定语从句,要填的词在从句中作地点状语,故填关系副词where。
    36. 【答案】choice。
    【解析】在形容词性物主代词后一定是用名词形式。
    37. 【答案】on。
    【解析】因表示“出售”的on sale是固定搭配。
    38. 【答案】him。
    【解析】给父亲买礼物,根据常识应是使父亲高兴,作宾语用代词。please him /father使他高兴。
    39. 【答案】at。
    【解析】名词(table)在句中不作主语,也不作动词的宾语,很可能就是作介词的宾语;由having supper可知,填at;因为at table表示“在餐桌边,在进餐”,也是习惯搭配。
    40. 【答案】was informed。
    【解析】因Jane与inform是被动关系,又是一般过去时。

    I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat writing letters.

    As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she ebose that she did forgive me. I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came. My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace-it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and l could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
    Now the present of her desk told, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside--a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times. Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose.

    Practice 7  When Mary Lennox was sent to Misselthwaite Manor to live with her uncle everybody said she was the most disagreeable-looking child ever seen. It was true, too. She had a little thin face and a little thin body, thin light hair and a sour expression. Her hair was yellow, and her face was yellow because she had been born in India and had always been ill in one way or another. Her father had held a position under the English Government and had always been busy and ill himself, and her mother had been a great beauty who cared only to go to parties and amuse herself with gay people. She had not wanted a little girl at all, and when Mary was born she handed her over to the care of an Ayah, who was made to understand that if she wished to please the Mem Sahib she must keep the child out of sight as much as possible. So when she was a sickly, fretful, ugly little baby she was kept out of the way, and when she became a sickly, fretful, toddling thing she was kept out of the way also. She never remembered seeing familiarly anything but the dark faces of her Ayah and the other native servants. And as they always obeyed her and gave her her own way in everything, because the Mem Sahib would be angry if she was disturbed by her crying, by the time she was six years old she was as tyrannical and selfish a little pig as ever lived. The young English governess who came to teach her to read and write disliked her so much that she gave up her place in three months, and when other governesses came to try to fill it they always went away in a shorter time than the first one. So if Mary had not chosen to really want to know how to read books she would never have learned her letters at all.
