Answer 1

分析 這是一篇關(guān)于海倫•凱勒生平的文章．海倫•凱天生聰明，但是她在2歲生了一場大病后，慢慢地看不見，也聽不見了，但是她并沒有因此而灰心，而是學(xué)會(huì)了盲文，自己后來成了一名美國的著名的作家，她的故事激勵(lì)著那些聾啞人繼續(xù)生活下去．

解答 71．six-month-old．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．考查海倫•凱勒說話時(shí)的年齡．根據(jù)文中"At the age of six months，she could already say a few words"可知，在6個(gè)月大時(shí)，她已經(jīng)會(huì)（斷斷續(xù)續(xù)）說幾句話．a(chǎn)t the age of six months在六個(gè)月大時(shí)； a six-month-old baby六個(gè)月大的嬰兒．故填six-month-old．

74．growing．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．考查海倫•凱勒的成就．根據(jù)文中"After she grew up，she became a famous writer in America"可知，她長大后，成為美國著名作家．上句中主從句主語相同，故可把從句改為動(dòng)名詞結(jié)構(gòu)，并省略主語．a(chǎn)fter growing up 長大后．故填growing．
75．because．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．考查海倫•凱勒的事跡的激勵(lì)作用．根據(jù)文中最后兩句"Her story has brought hope to many blind and deaf people．It encouraged them to live and work"可知，其事跡鼓舞著很多盲人和聾啞人工作和生活下去．because of 因?yàn)�；because of her story因?yàn)樗�的故事．故填because．
