When I was 13, I lost my sight.Since then, I had learned to get about with a walking stick, but had to stay at home because my parents thought I would get lost or robbed, even get hit by a car.
I, however, believed I could regain my way if I lost it.A neighbor told me that a public library was offering a free course designed for the blind.That's an important opportunity for me to kill two birds with one stone: I could practice my getting-about skills on my way to learning practical technology.My parents settled_for it.
But how would I plan my course I knew that the blind singer Ray Charles, got around without a walking stick by counting steps.But I couldn't seem to do that the way he had.I developed the power of my imagination, catching the layout (布局) of places I visited and taking note of landmarks in my mind.Every time I visited a place, the mental map I'd drawn would turn up and helped me with the direction.But that doesn't mean I didn't lose my way in the process of acquiring this skill.I'd have to swallow (吞下) my pride to ask kind strangers for help.
On those days I lost my way, I'd go to bed feeling down.But my desires to beat blindness and further my education were usually enough to get me out of bed the next day and try again.Today, I'm a published reporter and audio producer.
Yes, I've lost my way at times and found it again.And when people ask me, “Aren't you afraid to be out on your own？”， the answer to me is clear: I'd rather risk and find happiness than stick to safety and be painful.
Now, impressed by my progress, my father told my mother, “Our boy can see！”

After the summer break, Delhi's children returned to school this month and found a new class added to their schedules: happiness.
It wasn't a welcome-back joke. In a country where top universities require average test scores above 98 percent and where cheating on final high school exams is organized by a “mafia” that includes teachers and school officials, the Delhi government's new scheme marks a change of emphasis (强调) from student performance to well-being.
“We have given best-of-the-best graduates of ability to industry，” said Manish Sisodia, Delhi's education minister.“But have we been able to supply best-of-the-best human beings to society, to the nation？”
Sisodia's happiness classes represent a major experiment in a country known for its overstrict, bookish education system, which has helped cement (巩固) a new middle class over the past thirty years but is also poorly thought of for encouraging rote (死记硬背的) learning and causing high pressure levels. Under the program, 100,000 Delhi students spend the first half-hour of each school day without opening a textbook, learning instead through inspirational stories and activities, as well as such thinking exercises as meditation.
Some teachers, though, remain uncertain. Some of them say, the public schools are too crowded for a course based so heavily on classroom interaction (互动). Others doubt that the happiness classes can change the culturally deep-rooted emphasis on exams and memorization. Geeta Gandhi Kingdon, chair of education, economics and international development at University College London, said that there haven't been any studies to value their workability.“As far as I know, in some schools they are just another box-ticking exercise，” she said.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了德里市的学校试点开设的一门“幸福课”。
8．What's the author's purpose of writing the first paragraph
A．To tell a welcome-back joke.
B．To introduce a new program.
C．To argue against the testing system.
D．To emphasize studies mixed with happiness.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据后文内容可知，这门“幸福课”并非一个玩笑，而是实实在在的试点课程，全文都围绕这一课程进行介绍。因此第一段作者开门见山提出“幸福课”，是为了引出后文对这门课程的具体介绍。
9．How is the fourth paragraph mainly developed
A．By giving examples. B．By making comparisons.
C．By following time order. D．By listing data.
解析：选B 写作手法题。文中该段落先是介绍了过去的教育体系过于严苛、呆板及鼓励死记硬背，而后话锋一转，介绍了在这门新课程背景之下，学生每天上课前半个小时不用打开课本，而是通过励志故事和励志活动来学习；前后形成了鲜明的对比。
10．What's Geeta Gandhi Kingdon's attitude towards the effect of happiness classes
A．Confident. B．Hopeless.
C．Doubtful. D．Indifferent.
解析：选C 观点态度题。由文章结尾处“Geeta Gandhi Kingdon ... said that there haven't been any studies to value their workability.”可知，她对课程的效果表示怀疑。
11．What is the best title for this passage
A．Delhi's children return to school
B．Delhi offers “happiness” classes
C．Happiness classes become welcome in Delhi
D．Happiness classes prove another box-ticking exercise
解析：选B 标题归纳题。本文主要介绍德里市学校试点开设“幸福课”，作者围绕它的开设背景、开设目的、各方观点、初步效果等方面展开，故B项能概括文章主旨。
D
“Baby signing” classes established to improve language skills actually make little difference to children's development, according to new research.Scholars claimed there was no evidence that the lessons — in which babies are taught simple gestures to communicate their everyday needs — enable children to talk quicker than others.
In a three-year study, it was claimed that the method could make mothers more responsive to their children's behaviors but failed to actually increase babies' vocabulary.An active home environment in which parents regularly talk to their children was much more effective, researchers warned.The findings will cast doubt on the movement — born in the United States — which has proved hugely popular among middle-class parents.
Baby signing is now a multi-million pound industry, with thousands of mothers and fathers paying for classes, books and DVDs.Young children are taught simple gestures for words and phrases to communicate their everyday needs, such as “milk” “more” “all gone” “food” and “tired”．It is claimed that the technique brings great benefits, including improving the relationship between mother and child, helping language development and even increasing a child's intelligence.
But research from Hertfordshire University has found no evidence that using baby signing helps to improve their language development.The scholars added, “Baby signing has become big business and mothers, particularly first-time mums or less confident parents, feel the pressure to do it.Some even think, ‘if I don't do it and everyone else does, I must be a bad mother’．”
Nevertheless, baby signing experts barely sustained the findings.Wendy Moat, 45, who has been running baby signing classes for three years, said that the classes encouraged speech development, and may help develop a higher IQ.She said, “So many mums say that their children talk so well because they did baby signing when they were babies.Parents wouldn't say it if they didn't believe it.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。一项研究表明，宝宝手语课堂对宝宝的发展起到的作用很小，但宝宝手语专家对此并不认可。
12．Which of the following may help improve children's language skills
A．Using simple words and phrases.
B．Talking to them as much as possible.
C．Buying them more books and DVDs.
D．Creating a serious home environment.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“An active home environment in which parents regularly talk to their children was much more effective”可知，父母经常与孩子交谈对孩子语言的发展更有效。
13．According to Paragraph 4, some new mothers choose baby signing classes in that________.
A．they are influenced by others
B．they are sure of the effects of them
C．they don't want to be looked down upon
D．they don't know how to teach their children
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“first-time mums ...feel the pressure to do it”可知，刚当妈妈的人选择宝宝手语课堂更多的是受他人影响。
14．The underlined word “sustained” in the last paragraph means “________”．
A．obtained B．sought
C．approved of D．figured out
解析：选C 词义猜测题。最后一段的 “the findings” 指的是第四段的“But research from Hertfordshire University has found no evidence that using baby signing helps to improve their language development.”。 再根据最后一段中Wendy Moat 的话“the classes encouraged speech development”与前面的研究发现形成对立可知，画线词所在句的句意是：然而，宝宝手语专家几乎不赞成上面的发现。故sustain意为“赞成”。
15．What's the main idea of the text
A．How to teach children to communicate effectively.
B．Baby signing classes increase children's intelligence.
C．How to improve the relationship between mother and child.
D．Baby signing classes fail to improve children's language skills.
解析：选D 主旨大意题。本文是一篇新闻报道，文章第一段首句“‘Baby signing’ classes ...make little difference to children's development”点明了本文的主题，即宝宝手语课堂对宝宝的发展起到的作用很小。
第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
After entering high school, you must wonder how to study well. Here are some good skills for you.
Go to class.
If you want to do well at school, going to class is the first step in studying well. If you miss classes, you will miss what the teacher thinks is important; as a result, you'll miss what is the most likely to end up on the test.__16__
Take good notes.
Try not to write down everything.__17__ Write down unfamiliar terms. After class, review your notes as soon as possible. You can fill in details that you missed and review the material while it is still fresh on your mind.
__18__
If you are struggling in class, talk to your teacher. He or she may be able to give you more help or tutor you before or after class. Most teachers have little sympathy (同情) for students who just become worried about failing during the last few weeks of the grading period.
Take part in class discussions.
In order to learn more in class, it is helpful to take part in class discussions. Asking questions and having eye contact with your teachers and classmates can increase your participation (参与) and your focus during the class discussion. __19__ This helps you make your point clear in class.
Form study groups.
__20__ Make sure that everyone is familiar with the material because you do not want to spend time re-teaching material to people who do not understand it. Be careful! Sometimes group sessions can become chatting sessions.
A．Don't be late for your class.
B．Talk to your teacher if you need help.
C．You should write down all the new terms.
D．So if you want to study well, go to every class.
E．Get students together who want to do well in class.
F．All you need is to put the main points in your own words.
G．If the material is difficult, you'd better read it before class.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了高中学习的一些方法。

20．解析：选E 根据本段标题“Form study groups.”可知，本段主要讲组织一些学习小组，由此判断E项符合语境。

Shy children usually have less practice in speaking, especially when there are other more children __28__ to talk.It's a loud world.Though shy children may appear __29__ to be in the background, they are losing opportunities to participate.Without practice, fear of speaking __30__.
It takes about three weeks, a small bit of __31__ each day, for each of my 17 students to learn a poem.So far, they have memorized more than five.And now, an obvious __32__ has happened.The “shyest” children are as eager to read aloud as the __33__ ones.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One windy day in March, Kitty Miller was on her way to school, when she spotted a great pile of lovely red apples in a store window.“Oh, how lovely！” she said.“If only Mamma could have one！”
Kitty's mother was very poor.She had been a dressmaker ever since Mr Miller died, and had worked so hard to earn a living for herself and Kitty that she had become sick.She had to lie in bed all day, and when Kitty was away at school, the house was very lonesome to her.
When Kitty reached the school that day, her thoughts were full of her sick mother and the lovely apples.She was usually a good student, but today she made so many mistakes that the teacher looked at her in surprise.The little girl could only sit at her desk, with her book before her, and dream of those red apples.When school was dismissed, Kitty started slowly homeward.She had gone only a short distance when she saw a gentleman in front of her drop his wallet.Running quickly forward, she picked it up.It felt quite heavy in Kitty's little hand.
“There must be a good deal of money in it，” thought Kitty. “How I wish I could keep it.Then I could buy Mamma a red apple and so many other things she needs.” But she knew this would not be right, so she hurried after the gentleman.Touching him on the arm, she said，“Please，Sir, you dropped your wallet.” “Thank you, dear，” said the gentleman, taking the wallet.Then noticing how poorly dressed she was, he said, “Why did you not keep the wallet, my child？”
“Because that would be stealing，” replied Kitty. “But，” she continued honestly, “before I thought I must give it back to you, I did wish I could keep it, for then I could buy Mamma a red apple.”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1：
The gentleman was surprised.
Paragraph 2:
When Kitty reached home with her treasures, she found her mother asleep.

Paragraph 1:
The gentleman was surprised.Then he smiled kindly and said, “You are a good girl.I'd like to give you a little present and then you can buy a red apple.” He handed her a silver dollar and said goodbye to her.When Kitty stood in front of the store, the storekeeper happened to look out and saw the little girl who had stood looking longingly at his window in the morning.He quickly picked out the biggest, roundest, reddest apple and took it out to Kitty, said, “Would you like this？” Kitty was so pleased and thanked the kind storekeeper.
Paragraph 2:
When Kitty reached home with her treasures, she found her mother asleep.So she put the apple and silver dollar on a plate where her mother could see them when she awoke.When Mrs Miller woke up, she was surprised to see the red apple and silver piece.After she was told the wonderful story, she kissed her little daughter and said, “You see, dear, it always pays to be honest and truthful.”UNIT 9 单元验收评价(一) 单元语基温故

When I was 13, I lost my sight.Since then, I had learned to get about with a walking stick, but had to stay at home because my parents thought I would get lost or robbed, even get hit by a car.
I, however, believed I could regain my way if I lost it.A neighbor told me that a public library was offering a free course designed for the blind.That's an important opportunity for me to kill two birds with one stone: I could practice my getting-about skills on my way to learning practical technology.My parents settled_for it.
But how would I plan my course I knew that the blind singer Ray Charles, got around without a walking stick by counting steps.But I couldn't seem to do that the way he had.I developed the power of my imagination, catching the layout (布局) of places I visited and taking note of landmarks in my mind.Every time I visited a place, the mental map I'd drawn would turn up and helped me with the direction.But that doesn't mean I didn't lose my way in the process of acquiring this skill.I'd have to swallow (吞下) my pride to ask kind strangers for help.
On those days I lost my way, I'd go to bed feeling down.But my desires to beat blindness and further my education were usually enough to get me out of bed the next day and try again.Today, I'm a published reporter and audio producer.
Yes, I've lost my way at times and found it again.And when people ask me, “Aren't you afraid to be out on your own？”， the answer to me is clear: I'd rather risk and find happiness than stick to safety and be painful.
Now, impressed by my progress, my father told my mother, “Our boy can see！”

After the summer break, Delhi's children returned to school this month and found a new class added to their schedules: happiness.
It wasn't a welcome-back joke. In a country where top universities require average test scores above 98 percent and where cheating on final high school exams is organized by a “mafia” that includes teachers and school officials, the Delhi government's new scheme marks a change of emphasis (强调) from student performance to well-being.
“We have given best-of-the-best graduates of ability to industry，” said Manish Sisodia, Delhi's education minister.“But have we been able to supply best-of-the-best human beings to society, to the nation？”
Sisodia's happiness classes represent a major experiment in a country known for its overstrict, bookish education system, which has helped cement (巩固) a new middle class over the past thirty years but is also poorly thought of for encouraging rote (死记硬背的) learning and causing high pressure levels. Under the program, 100,000 Delhi students spend the first half-hour of each school day without opening a textbook, learning instead through inspirational stories and activities, as well as such thinking exercises as meditation.
Some teachers, though, remain uncertain. Some of them say, the public schools are too crowded for a course based so heavily on classroom interaction (互动). Others doubt that the happiness classes can change the culturally deep-rooted emphasis on exams and memorization. Geeta Gandhi Kingdon, chair of education, economics and international development at University College London, said that there haven't been any studies to value their workability.“As far as I know, in some schools they are just another box-ticking exercise，” she said.
8．What's the author's purpose of writing the first paragraph
A．To tell a welcome-back joke.
B．To introduce a new program.
C．To argue against the testing system.
D．To emphasize studies mixed with happiness.
9．How is the fourth paragraph mainly developed
A．By giving examples. B．By making comparisons.
C．By following time order. D．By listing data.
10．What's Geeta Gandhi Kingdon's attitude towards the effect of happiness classes
A．Confident. B．Hopeless.
C．Doubtful. D．Indifferent.
11．What is the best title for this passage
A．Delhi's children return to school
B．Delhi offers “happiness” classes
C．Happiness classes become welcome in Delhi
D．Happiness classes prove another box-ticking exercise
D
“Baby signing” classes established to improve language skills actually make little difference to children's development, according to new research.Scholars claimed there was no evidence that the lessons — in which babies are taught simple gestures to communicate their everyday needs — enable children to talk quicker than others.
In a three-year study, it was claimed that the method could make mothers more responsive to their children's behaviors but failed to actually increase babies' vocabulary.An active home environment in which parents regularly talk to their children was much more effective, researchers warned.The findings will cast doubt on the movement — born in the United States — which has proved hugely popular among middle-class parents.
Baby signing is now a multi-million pound industry, with thousands of mothers and fathers paying for classes, books and DVDs.Young children are taught simple gestures for words and phrases to communicate their everyday needs, such as “milk” “more” “all gone” “food” and “tired”．It is claimed that the technique brings great benefits, including improving the relationship between mother and child, helping language development and even increasing a child's intelligence.
But research from Hertfordshire University has found no evidence that using baby signing helps to improve their language development.The scholars added, “Baby signing has become big business and mothers, particularly first-time mums or less confident parents, feel the pressure to do it.Some even think, ‘if I don't do it and everyone else does, I must be a bad mother’．”
Nevertheless, baby signing experts barely sustained the findings.Wendy Moat, 45, who has been running baby signing classes for three years, said that the classes encouraged speech development, and may help develop a higher IQ.She said, “So many mums say that their children talk so well because they did baby signing when they were babies.Parents wouldn't say it if they didn't believe it.”
12．Which of the following may help improve children's language skills
A．Using simple words and phrases.
B．Talking to them as much as possible.
C．Buying them more books and DVDs.
D．Creating a serious home environment.
13．According to Paragraph 4, some new mothers choose baby signing classes in that________.
A．they are influenced by others
B．they are sure of the effects of them
C．they don't want to be looked down upon
D．they don't know how to teach their children
14．The underlined word “sustained” in the last paragraph means “________”．
A．obtained B．sought
C．approved of D．figured out
15．What's the main idea of the text
A．How to teach children to communicate effectively.
B．Baby signing classes increase children's intelligence.
C．How to improve the relationship between mother and child.
D．Baby signing classes fail to improve children's language skills.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
After entering high school, you must wonder how to study well. Here are some good skills for you.
Go to class.
If you want to do well at school, going to class is the first step in studying well. If you miss classes, you will miss what the teacher thinks is important; as a result, you'll miss what is the most likely to end up on the test.__16__
Take good notes.
Try not to write down everything.__17__ Write down unfamiliar terms. After class, review your notes as soon as possible. You can fill in details that you missed and review the material while it is still fresh on your mind.
__18__
If you are struggling in class, talk to your teacher. He or she may be able to give you more help or tutor you before or after class. Most teachers have little sympathy (同情) for students who just become worried about failing during the last few weeks of the grading period.
Take part in class discussions.
In order to learn more in class, it is helpful to take part in class discussions. Asking questions and having eye contact with your teachers and classmates can increase your participation (参与) and your focus during the class discussion. __19__ This helps you make your point clear in class.
Form study groups.
__20__ Make sure that everyone is familiar with the material because you do not want to spend time re-teaching material to people who do not understand it. Be careful! Sometimes group sessions can become chatting sessions.
A．Don't be late for your class.
B．Talk to your teacher if you need help.
C．You should write down all the new terms.
D．So if you want to study well, go to every class.
E．Get students together who want to do well in class.
F．All you need is to put the main points in your own words.
G．If the material is difficult, you'd better read it before class.
