11.At thirteen,I was diagnosed with a kind of attention disorder.It made school difficult for me.When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks,I could not.
In my first literature class,Mrs.Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it,all within 45 minutes.I raised my hand right away and said,"Mrs.Smith,you see,the doctor said I have attention problems.I might not be able to do it."
She glanced down at me through her glasses,"You are no different from your classmates,young man."
I tried,but I didn't finish the reading when the bell rang.I had to take it home.
In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me.It was about a blind person,Louis Braille.He lived in a time when the blind couldn't get much education.But Louis didn't give up.Instead,he invented a reading system of raised dots(點),which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.
Wasn't I the"blind"in my class,being made to learn like the"sighted"students?My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance.I completed the task within 40minutes.Indeed,I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place.If Louis could find his way out of his problems,why should I ever give up?
I didn't expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs.Smith,so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day-with an"A"on it.At the bottom of the paper were these words:"See what you can do when you keep trying?"

21.What does the attention disorder mean?B
A.It means the author can't study well in class.
B.He has some difficulty in focusing on tasks.
C.He can't read or write in literature class.
D.He can't understand the teacher well.
22.What does the underlined sentence mean?A
A.He understood the meaning of the story.
B.He had pity on Louis Braille as well as himself.
C.He got encouraged from Louis Braille's story.
D.He thought a lot from the story.
23.The main idea of the passage is"C".
A.The disabled should be treated with respect.
B.A teacher can open up a new world to students.
C.One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.
D.Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.

分析 本文主要講述了作者患有一種注意力障礙的病癥,不能集中精力于所做的事情,不愿努力而且想放棄.在Louise Braile故事的激勵下,終于克服困難很好地完成作業(yè)并得到老師高度認(rèn)可的故事.

解答 21.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段的I was diagnosed with a kind of attentiondisorder…When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks,I couldnot.可知作者患有一種注意力障礙的病癥,當(dāng)班上的每個人都專注于任務(wù)時,他不能.所以作者在專注于任務(wù)時有困難,故選B項.
22.A 句意理解題.根據(jù)In the quietness of my bedroom,thestory suddenly all became clear to me.可知字面意思為:在我臥室的靜謐中,故事突然變得清晰起來以及下文講述這個故事的大意:Louise Braile是個盲人,創(chuàng)造了盲文.所以畫線的句意是作者明白了故事的意思.故選A項.
23.C 主旨大意題.本文主要講述作者患有注意力障礙的病癥,不能集中精力于所做的事情,不愿努力而且想放棄.在Louise Braile故事的激勵下,終于克服困難很好地完成作業(yè)并得到老師高度認(rèn)可的故事.所以文章的主要內(nèi)容是:一個人可以通過努力找到困難的出路.故選C項.

點評 本文是科教類閱讀,主要考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題和推理判斷題.在做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時,首先根據(jù)題目要求迅速在文章里找出相應(yīng)的段落、句子或短語.認(rèn)真比較選項和文中細(xì)節(jié)的區(qū)別,在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

1.We can achieve knowledge either actively or passively.We achieve it actively by direct experience,by testing and proving an idea,or by reasoning.
We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else.Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive.Conditioned as we are to passive learning,it's not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co-workers.
Unfortunately,passive learning has a serious problem.It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay(傳聞) and rumor.
Did you ever play the game Rumor?It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn't show it to anyone.Then the person whispers it,word for word,to another person.That person,in turn,whispers it to still another,and so on,through all the people playing the game.The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it.Then the two written statements are compared.Typically,the original message has changed.
That's what happens in daily life.The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story.Then,too,most people listen imperfectly.And many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a story,trying to improve on it,stamping it with their own personal style.Yet those who hear it think they know.
This process is also found among scholars and authors:A statement of opinion by one writer may be restated as fact by another,who may in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process may continue,unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts.

5.According to the passage,active learning may occur inC.
A.reading scientific journals
B.listening to the teacher in class
C.doing a chemical experiment
D.watching news programmes on TV
6.What does the underlined word"it"in Paragraph 2 refer to?D
A.Classroom.B.Newspapers.C.Active learning.D.Passive learning.
7.The game Rumor is mentioned in Paragraph 4 in order to tell readers thatC.
A.playing games can make people more active
B.people tend to like telling lies when playing games
C.a(chǎn) message may be changed when being passed on
D.people may have problems with their sense of hearing
8.What can be inferred from the text?B
A.Scholars and authors can't be trusted.
B.Passive learning may not be reliable.
C.People like spreading rumors in daily life.
D.Active learning is more Important than passive learning.

3.Rod Kalin learned the secret to success while he was young.As a child,he liked playing with a stuffed (填充) rabbit his mother had made."At that time,I knew he would become a craftsman (工匠)in the future,"Kalin's mother said.
Kalin's father was a carpenter and taught him early how to use his hands.In high school,Kalin was so interested in photography that he cut class to take photos 18 hours a day.Eventually Kalin ended up at New York University.One night,his landlord asked him to build a website for his restaurant."I didn't know anything about websites,but I built the basic site by looking through books in four weeks,"Kalin recalls.
After working on a craft site that provided"advice and a lot of hand-holding",Kalin recognized that there was no market for their goods.He wrote a fan letter to Stewart Butterfield,the founder of Flickr,who had sold his highly popular photo-sharing website to Yahoo!Impressed by Kalin's letter,he took a look at Kalin's idea and invited him to San Francisco for a month in 2006.He taught Kalin how to build a website,and helped him borrow﹩615,000 from a bank.
With the help of Stewart,Kalin was able to create etsy.com,an online craft fair that may be the largest market for hand made goods in the world.Last year,350,000 woodworkers and other craftsmen sold their one-of-a-kind goods on the four-year-old site.It sells everything from hand-knitted T-shirts to wooden electric guitars.In an age of chain stores and malls,it seems there's still a big market for the unique:custom-made skirts and hand-painted tea sets.Today,Etsy's staff has increased to 70 employees,and more than three million consumers in 150 countries are buying goods on Etsy every year.

21.It can be learned from the passage that Rob KalinC.
A.opened a restaurant after graduation
B.was good at building websites at university

A.It offered craftsmen advice at first and then began to sell crafts.
B.It sells custom-made clothes and other handmade things.
C.It has employed 350,000 craftsmen.
