(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. 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合肥模拟］

The CEO of Apple—Steve Jobs’ story about death

When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: “If you live each day as if it were your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right. ” It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today? ”

Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered（遇到）to help me make the big choice in life.

About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that was incurable, and that I would live no longer than three to six months. The doctors advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is the doctors’ code for preparing yourself to die.

I lived with that diagnosis all day. I was completely in despair. Later that evening, I had another biopsy（活组织检查）and my wife told me that tumor turned out to be curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I’m fine now.

This was the closest I’ve been to facing death. To tell the truth, no one wants to die. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. It clears out the old to make room for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.

Your time is so limited that you shouldn’t waste it repeating someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma（教条）—which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart. It somehow already knows what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

5. The doctors advised the author to go home and get his affairs in order because ________ . A. he had to rest at home

B. his disease was not serious at all C. his disease couldn’t be cured

D. he had to wait for the result of the test

6. How did the author feel after the diagnosis? A. Angry. B. Excited. C. Optimistic. D. Hopeless. 7. In the author’s opinion, we should _______ . A. follow others’ advice B. take no notice of diseases C. take exercise and keep healthy D. have the courage to follow our heart
