She was almost sightless and was，at one time，diagnosed as hopelessly “insane” by her caregivers. She was locked in the basement of a mental institution. Occasionally，Anne would violently attack anyone who came near. Most of the time she generally ignored everyone in her presence.An elderly nurse believed there was hope，however，and she made it her work to show love to the child. Every day she visited Anne，and she left cookies for her and spoke words of love and encouragement. She believed Anne could recover，if only she were shown love.Eventually，doctors noticed the change in the girl. Where they once witnessed anger and hate，they now noted gentleness and love. They moved her upstairs where she continued to improve. Then the day finally came when this seemingly “hopeless” child was released.Anne Sullivan grew into a young woman with a desire to help others as she，herself，was helped by the kind nurse. It was she who saw the great potential in Helen Keller. She loved her，disciplined(管教)her, played with her, pushed her and worked with her until the flickering candle that was her life became a beacon(灯塔)of light to the world. Anne Sullivan worked wonders in Helens life；but it was a loving nurse who first believed in little Anne and lovingly transformed an unmunicative child into a kind teacher.“If it had not been for Anne Sullivan，the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown.”But if it had not been for a kind and dedicated nurse，the name of Anne Sullivan would have remained unknown.21. What does the underlined part “account for” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. show B. prove C. explain D. present22. What do we know from the third paragraph?A. Anne Sullivan had very normal behavior.B. Anne Sullivan was ignored by everyone.C. Anne Sullivan was kept away from her parents.D. Anne Sullivan was believed to have a mental problem.23. What would be the best title for the text?A. The Power of Love B. Making a DifferenceC. A Good Teacher D. Remarkable AchievementsBDogs and humans have been living side-by-side for about 15,000 years, but there are tons of facts about dogs that perhaps we have never heard of.Night visionDogs have good night vision. Their large pupils let more light in and the rods (视杆细胞) work better in poor light. But the biggest factor is the tapetum (反光组织), which reflect light at the back of the eye. Besides, dogs whiskers (胡须) also help them “see” in the dark because they pick up on very small changes in air, providing dogs with information about the size, shape, and speed of things nearby.Secret tail codeDogs can use their tails to municate. They wag their tails to the right when they are relaxed or happy, and to the left when nervous or threatened. When theyre aggressive, the tails will stick straight-up in the air. A broad wag is friendly while a slow wag is neutral, neither excited nor anxious.DreamsWe often see a dogs body making sudden movements in its sleep. Dogs have the same brain wave patterns as humans while they are asleep, so they dream just like we do.Super noseDogs can find their way home despite long distances. Their noses are a vital part of their incredible sense of direction. The part of a dogs brain that controls smell is 40 times larger than humans. Theyre able to follow smells for miles. Furthermore, dogs have an amazing ability to recognize the smells given off by the abnormal cells in human bodies, including cancer. This is something scientists are eager to explore further. And interesting, a dogs “fingerprint” is on its nose. The patterns on dogs noses are so distinct that they can actually be used to identify the animals.A sixth senseDogs act strangely before something bad, like a storm or earthquake, happens, for they are sensitive to low frequencies that humans cant sense. So dont let their strange behavior go unnoticed next time. It could save your life.24. Which of the following indirectly helps dogs see well in the dark?A. Their rods. B. Their tapetum. C. Their whiskers. D. Their pupils.25. If a dog holds up the tail, it indicates _.A. happiness B. attack C. friendliness D. relaxation26. What hasnt been discovered about a dog?A. Why it can sense natural disasters. B. Why it has an acute sense of smell.C. What emotions it shows with its tail. D. How it can smell humans illnesses.27. In what way are dogs like humans?A. They dream when they sleep. B. They have good night vision.C. They have distinct nose patterns. D. They can react to low frequencies.

DA Japanese pany is developing a pair of smart glasses that can help those with visual or prehension problems to read written text more easily. Called the Oton Glass, the glasses are meant to translate text into sound using two cameras and an earpiece, both fitted to its frame.Half of the lens (镜片) is a mirror that reflects the wearers eyes back to the first camera, which tracks eye movement. The other camera captures the text. Wearers use the glasses by staring at the text they cant read and blinking (眨眼) to trigger the glasses. Then the captured words are sent to a cloud system, which processes the text and turns it into sound played through the earpiece. If the system is unable to identify the words, the images are sent to a remote worker who can deal with them. The Oton Glass lead designer, Keisuke Shimakage, started working on the glasses in xx to aid his father, who had developed dyslexia, a condition that makes it difficult for someone to read and spell. While his father eventually recovered, Shimakage continued his development in order to help others with the disorder.Currently, the Oton Glass is seeking funding. Backers can get a pair of the glasses for 5,000 yen (roughly $47).Smart glasses arent a new concept, but its difficult to point to any single pair of smart glasses that people have reviewed favorably. It could, perhaps, be that previous products tried to do too much, or were too expensive. Thats why Intels Vaunt smart glasses stripped out some features, like its camera, LCD screen, and speakers. The Oton Glass is for a very specific audience, and its relatively low price could make it more appealing to those who want an affordable way to understand the text around them.32. What was Keisukes original purpose in designing the Oton Glass?A. To treat his fathers disease. B. To translate text into sound.C. To assist his father to read. D. To make written text easier to read.33. What is the right order how the Oton Glass works?a. The camera captures the words.b. The wearer stares at the text.c. The wearer hears the sound via the earpiece.d. The cloud system turns the text into sound.e. The wearer blinks to get the glasses working.A. a, b, e, c, d B. e, b, c, d, a C. b, d, a, e, c D. b, e, a, d, c34. The underlined part “stripped out” in the last paragraph can be replaced by _.A. improved B. removed C. increased D. invented35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. The advantages of the Oton Glass. B. The characteristics of smart glasses.C. Consumers evaluation of the Oton Glass. D. The target audiences of various smart glasses.第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Before You Take a TestIts important to prepare well for big tests - especially for exams like the TOEFL, IELTS（雅思） or Cambridge First Certificate (FCE).
