Ⅰ.[2019·江西改编] 阅读理解
Everyone faces challenges in their life, but some are more important than others. Daniel Kish had serious problems with his eyes when he was born. And doctors took away both of his eyes before he was fourteen months old.
Soon after, however, he started to do an amazing thing. He started to make clicking(咔嗒) sounds with his tongue(舌头) to help him move around. Much like a bat(蝙蝠), he now moves about using sonar(声呐). He is so good at it that he can ride a bicycle in traffic. He and his group, World Access for the Blind, teach others how to use sonar. In this interview with National Geographic, Kish explains how the process works.
How does sonar work?
“When I make a clicking sound, it makes sound waves. These waves reflect(反射) off surfaces all around and return to my ears. My brain then processes the sounds into images(图像). It's like having a conversation with the environment.”
When you click, what do you see in your mind?
“Each click is like a camera flash. I make a 3D image of the things around me for hundreds of feet in every direction.”
What is it like riding a bike using sonar?
“It's exciting and enjoyable but requires a lot of focus. I click up to two times per second, much more than I usually do.”
Is it dangerous to move around the world in this way?
“Much of the world lives in fear of things that we mostly imagine. I have a habit of climbing anything and everything, but I never broke a bone(骨头) as a child.”
How challenging is it to teach people to use sonar?
“Many students are surprised how quickly results come. Seeing isn't in the eyes; it's in the mind.”

I wanted to shout at him, “You're not 5 yet!”
It is 6 sad that many people cannot get beyond their pasts and live 7 the present. There are so many people like that talk show guest. There are people still in their ten years 8 that their lives are over. There are people in their twenties who already think they have 9 the boat to success and happiness. There are people in their thirties and forties who sit around complaining that life has passed them by. I want to shout to them all,“Wake up! You're still 10 ! What have you done today?” If you want a happy life, you can't dwell on(细想;纠缠于) your past 11 . If you want joy and love in your life, you have to choose them today. God gives us a new chance at life every time we wake up in the morning. It is up to us to seize it.

It doesn't matter how hard our past has been. Our present can be full of joy and our future can be full of 13 . It doesn't matter if we are eight 14 eighty—we can still make our lives 15 . Life isn't over until your last heartbeat. Start today, then, to make your heart beat with joy, love, and light.

【参考答案】
Ⅰ.[主旨大意]本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了Daniel Kish在14个月的时候失明,后来他开始利用声呐技术来辨别方向,并且能骑自行车。
1.C 主旨大意题。第二段主要讲述Daniel Kish 14个月时失明,不久之后他就开始通过舌头发出咔嗒声来四处走动。现在他利用声呐技术来辨别方向。故选C。
2.D 细节理解题。从How does sonar work?部分中可知,声呐技术的工作原理是:人们发出咔嗒声形成声波,声波经物体表面反射后返回人的耳朵;大脑根据声音形成影像。故正确顺序为D。
3.A 细节理解题。通读全文可知A “他总是勇敢地挑战自己”是正确的;B“他生活在对设想的事物的恐惧中”没有提到,是错误的;C“他14岁失明”和短文中的14个月失明矛盾,是错误的;D“他攀爬时骨折了”与倒数第二段内容不符,是错误的。故选A。
