She survived, but the fever left its mark — she could no longer see or hear. Because she could not hear she also found it very difficult to speak. Just before her seventh birthday, the family hired a private tutor — Anne Sullivan. Anne was careful to teach Helen especially those subjects in which she was interested. As a result Helen became gentler and she soon learnt to read and write in Braille. She also learnt to read people?s lips by pressing her fingertips against them and feeling the movement and vibrations. This method is called Tadoma and it is a skill that very, very few people manage to acquire. She also learnt to speak, a major achievement for someone who could not hear at all. 試題編號： 21 當(dāng)海倫凱勒還是一個(gè) 19 個(gè)月大的嬰兒時(shí)，因高發(fā)燒差點(diǎn)喪命。她雖活了下來，但發(fā)燒給她留下了后遺癥 —— 她再也看不見、聽不見。因?yàn)槁牪灰?，她想講話也變得很困難。 在她快到七歲生日時(shí)，家里便雇了一名家庭教師 —— 安尼沙利文。安尼悉心地教授海倫，特別是她感興趣的東西。這樣海倫變得溫和了而且很快學(xué)會(huì)了用布萊葉盲文朗讀和寫作。靠用手指接觸說話人的嘴唇去感受運(yùn)動(dòng)和震動(dòng)，她又學(xué)會(huì)了觸唇意識。這種方法被稱作泰德馬，是一種很少有人掌握的技能。她也學(xué)會(huì)了講話，這對失聰?shù)娜藖碚f是個(gè)巨大的成就。 試題 編號： 22 Helen Keller proved to be a remarkable scholar.

Luckily, Helen Keller was not someone who gave up easily. Soon she began to explore the world by using her other senses. She followed her mother wherever she went, hanging onto her skirts. She touched and smelled everything she came across. She copied their actions and was soon able to do certain jobs herself. She even learnt to recognize people by feeling their faces or their clothes. She could also tell where she was in the garden by the smell of the different plants and the feel of the ground under her feet. By the age of seven she had invented over 60 different signs by which she could talk to her family. If she wanted bread for example, she would pretend to cut a loaf and butter the slices. 試題編號： 23 一個(gè)在 19個(gè)月時(shí)就既盲又聾的孩子，是如何成長為享譽(yù)世界的作家和演說家的呢？ 萬幸的是，海倫凱勒并不是個(gè)輕易認(rèn)輸?shù)娜?。不久她就開始 利用其它的感官來探查這個(gè)世界了。她跟著母親，拉著母親的衣角，形影不離。她去觸摸，去嗅各種她碰到的物品。她模仿別人的動(dòng)作且很快就能自己做一些事情。她甚至學(xué)會(huì)靠摸別人的臉或衣服來識別對方。她 中國最龐大的下資料庫 (整理 . 版權(quán)歸原作者所有 ) 第 15 頁 共 37 頁 還能靠聞不同的植物和觸摸地面來辨別自己在花園的位置。 七歲的時(shí)候她發(fā)明了 60多種不同的手勢，靠此得以和家里人交流。比如她若想要面包，就會(huì)做出切面包和涂黃油的動(dòng)作。 試題編號： 24 There were already signs that Michael Jordan had a good deal of talent. Harvest Smith, a classmate and close friend who in those days played basketball with him, thought he was the best player on the ninthgrade team — he was small, but he was every quick. Smith said, “The only question was how big he was going to be — and how far up he would take his skill level.” The summer after ninth grade, Jordan and Smith both went to basketball camp. Neither of them had yet e into his body. Almost all of the other players were two or sometimes three years older than them and seemed stronger. However, in Smith?s mind there was no doubt that Michael Jordan was the best player. But on the day the names of the selected school team players were announced — it was the big day of the year, —Smith?s name was on the list.
