Ⅲ. 阅读理解

(A)

A blind boy has learnt how to “see” again after being taught a language used by dolphins. Young Jamie Aspland utters tiny high-pitch (高音) clicks to rebound the sound off surfaces and guide him round obstacles. The four-year-old, who was born without sight, was taught the “echo location” technique as part of an exciting technique pioneered in the US to help the blind.

His mother Deborah praised the treatment after her son was able to walk unaided to the park for the first time and even guided himself around a fence. She said, “It has changed our lives. The treatment has been a success. Since learning the skill we can walk to the park and Jamie no longer has to hold my hand. It’s amazing. ”

Deborah, a mother of three, gave up her job as a tour operator to care for Jamie and his sick brother Kane full time. Jamie’s twin sister Rosie also has developmental and learning difficulties. She watched nervously after tiny Jamie’s first session when he approached a fence, but was able to round it. She said, “We thought he was going to go straight into it. But he just went round it. I didn’t think it would be possible. He was born blind but this treatment has given him a new lease of life. ”

Jamie, from Ashford in Kent, has just completed his third session with echo location expert Daniel Kish, who lost his sight when he was just 13 months old. As president of World Access for the Blind, Kish developed the technique based on animal sonar (声呐) to help humans form “mental maps” of their surroundings.

He copied the technique dolphins used to navigate their way through the dark depths—using high pitch clicks to detect objects and reflect off their inside structure. Jamie is able to mirror that behavior—which assists his use of a cane (手杖)—by clicking his tongue against the roof of his mouth to imitate the dolphins’ underwater tones.

1. What do we know from Paragraph 1？

A. Jamie Aspland can avoid obstacles by using the “echo location” technique.

B. Using ears has the same effect as using eyes with the development of science.

C. Dolphins’ eyes are not helpful in locating objects at all.

D. The “echo location” technique isn’t helpful to people with normal sight.

2. Jamie’s mother Deborah believes that _______.

A. Jamie won’t need her help any longer

B. Jamie will be able to do whatever he wants

C. her family benefits from the “echo location” technique

D. people can see small objects with the“echo location” technique

3. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?

A. Jamie’s father has to work hard to support his family.

B. Jamie’s mother used to have a hard time with her kids.

C. There must be something wrong with Deborah’s genes.

D. Jamie will be able to help look after his sister and brother.

4. According to the author, Daniel Kish _______.

A. was born without sight

B. doesn’t charge anything for training technique

C. is quite familiar with dolphins’ life

D. contributes a lot to the“echo location” technique

5. What is implied in the passage?

A. Daniel Kish has suffered a lot from being blind.

B. It is hard for the blind to master the “echo location” technique.

C. Dolphins can’t use the “echo location” technique out of water.

D. Jamie still has to use his walking cane sometimes.

［2012广州模拟］

Heading off to college this year?  Here are some fashion tips from our experts you should keep in mind:

Dress to impress: Stylist and business consultant Daniela Smith says, “Girls should keep in mind that your college professors will often be the bridge that connects you to your future career and your classmates will become your professional network. You don’t need to dress like you’re going to the office, but you should display an ability to properly present yourself with appropriate maturity and confidence. ”

Logo mania(品牌狂热症):Wearing the logos of brands aimed at younger customers physically identifies you as part of that age group, so consider the targeted age group of the stores you shop at. It’s tempting to load up on logos, especially well-known logos that signify high-end brands. But consider this: college is a time of self-discovery, a chance to develop your own personal style. Instead of wearing logos head to toe, “walking advertisement”-style, why not express who you really are?

Wear real pants: The combination of leggings and baggy shirts is all too common on college campuses. Smith points out that leggings, yoga pants, and sweatpants are entirely unacceptable in public unless you’re exercising. Although leggings worn as pants are a common trend among high school and college girls, they are not an appropriate choice for daywear. As a young woman, your style choice should begin to reflect your maturity level. So, get rid of leggings and wear real pants! 

Keep the cute factor to a minimum: Stay away from sweaters and T-shirts with smiling animals, cartoon characters, or Hello Kitty on them. Sure, kittens might be cute, but they’re not doing you any favors in the style department. Dressing too cutely can take years off your look, and not necessarily in a good way!

A. impressing professors

A. leggings and baggy shirts are too common

B. yoga pants and sweatpants are not as comfortable

C. real pants can present you with appropriate maturity

D. people like real pants better than the other pants

10. What’s the writer’s attitude towards sweaters with animals on them?

A. They make people look lovely.

B. They are very fashionable these days.

C. They will show you’re an animal lover.
