Three Days to See
假如给我三天光明
I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life.
我常常在想，如果每个人在刚成年时的某个时候能失明或失聪几天，那将是一件幸事。
Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.
因为黑暗会使他更加珍惜视力；寂静将教会他享受声音的乐趣。
Now and then I have tested my seeing friends to discover what they see.
我不时地测试那些能看得见的朋友，想了解他们看到了什么。
Recently, I asked a friend who had just returned from a long walk in the woods what she had observed. “Nothing in particular，” she replied.
最近，我问了一个在树林里散步了许久才回来的朋友，她看到了什么。她回答道“没什么特别的”。
词句自测 ①blessing n. 幸事，幸运 ②appreciative adj. 感激的 ③“主(I)谓(have often thought)＋宾语从句(it would be ... adult life)”。宾语从句运用了虚拟语气，结构为“主句(it would be a blessing)＋条件状语从句(if each human being ... his early adult life)”。for a few days ... adult life是时间状语。
How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk for an hour through the woods and see nothing worthy of note
我问自己，在树林里走了一个小时，怎么可能没有看到什么值得注意的事物呢？
I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch.
我这个看不见的人，仅仅通过触摸就发现了成百上千件令我感兴趣的东西。
If I can get so much pleasure from touch, how much more beauty must be revealed by sight
如果我能从触摸中得到如此多的快乐，视觉又会展现出多少美呢？
And I have imagined what I should most like to see if I were given the use of my eyes, say for just three days.
我曾想象过假如我可以用我的眼睛来看见事物，比如说只有三天，我最希望看到什么。
词句自测 ④worthy adj. 值得尊敬的；值得赞赏的 ⑤worthy__of 值得……的 ⑥mere adj. 仅仅，只不过
On the first day, I should want to see the people whose kindness and gentleness and companionship have made my life worth living.

I do not know what it is to see into the heart of a friend through that “window of the soul”， the eye.
我不知道透过“心灵之窗”——眼睛，来识透朋友的内心是什么样子的。
I can only “see” through my fingertips the outline of a face.
我只能通过指尖“看”出一张脸的轮廓。
I should like to see the books which have been read to me, and which have revealed to me the deepest channels of human life and the human spirit.
我会想看看那些别人曾读给我听的书，它们向我揭示了连接人类生活和人类精神的最深层的渠道。
In the afternoon I should take a long walk in the woods and intoxicate my eyes on the beauties of the world of nature.
下午我应该会在树林里长久地散步，让眼睛陶醉在大自然世界的美景中。
That night, I should not be able to sleep.

词句自测 permanent adj. 长久的；永久的 descend v. 降临；来临 “时间状语从句(Only when darkness ... upon me)＋主句(should I realize ... left unseen)”。“Only＋时间状语”置于句首时，其后的主句应用“部分倒装”结构，即将助动词放在主语前； how much I had left unseen是动词realize的宾语从句。

我，一个盲人，可以给那些能看见的人一个提示：好好用你的眼睛，就好像明天你会失明一样。

Ⅰ 阅读
In the seventh grade I realized I was dyslexic (诵读困难的), which made it difficult for me to read and spell. I did really badly in my history course, so my mother said to me, “I'll work with you for a full week. I'm going to show you what you can do if you put in the right amount of effort.” So we did. We worked on history for a full week, an extra hour every day. But I still failed the test as always.
By the time I got to college, things didn't get better. I would wait in registration lines all day to sign up for extra courses. Then I would go around the first day of class and ask each professor: “What's your policy on misspelling？” If he said, “Three misspellings is a fail，” I'd drop it.
Although I was an academic failure, I had a great time. I had many friends and I was always popular. I was a good football player. I never had a day when I would think “People don't like me.”
In spite of my obvious weaknesses, I became successful in my career, so that people say to me, “So you've overcome dyslexia.” No. I don't overcome it. I just learn to compensate__for it. Some easy things are hard for me. Most people read 500 words a minute. I only read 200. I try not to dial a phone because I sometimes have to dial three times to get the number right. I owe my successful career to my writing instructor, Ralph Salisbury. He looked past my misspellings and gave me encouragement. So I always feel confident.
The real fear that I have for dyslexic people is not that they have to struggle with their reading skills or that they can't spell correctly, but that they will quit on themselves before they get out of school.

篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了练习瑜伽不仅能改善平衡和带来平静，还可以减肥。
1．答案：highly
解析：考查词性转换。此处应用副词highly修饰谓语is recognized。故填highly。
2．答案：helpful
解析：考查词性转换。根据设空前的系动词be可知，此处应用形容词作表语。故填helpful。
3．答案：which
解析：考查定语从句的引导词。设空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为yoga，指物，且从句中缺少主语，应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
4．答案：and
解析：考查连词。设空前与设空后是并列关系，应用and连接uses your large muscle groups和raises your heart rate。故填and。
5．答案：on/upon

8．答案：the
解析：考查冠词。句意：更好的是，最近，几项研究证明，瑜伽对身体的压力反应有影响，并可以减少与体重增加有关的化学物质的产生。根据句意以及设空后production of chemicals为名词短语可知，此处特指“有关的化学物质的产生”，应用定冠词。故填the。
9．答案：practising
解析：考查非谓语动词。根据设空前的介词by可知，此处应用动名词作宾语。故填practising。
10．答案：to choose
解析：考查非谓语动词。remember to do sth “记得要做某事”，此处应用动词不定式作宾语。故填to choose。
Ⅳ 读后续写
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。
I loved being a teacher, but for years I had been eager to become a librarian. However, the timing was never right for me to go back to school. Finally, the time came and I received my media specialist degree. But my biggest difficulty was yet to come. I wanted to find a job as a media specialist in a nearby elementary school, and those positions were hard to get.
The new school year started, and I was teaching fourth grade again. As the months passed from August to December without any job opportunities, my optimism and faith began to fade. To stay positive, I listened repeatedly to several inspiring songs in the car on my commute to my son's school and my job. Every morning, I thanked someone in my heart of hearts for my new job as a media specialist as if I already had it, my family, and the other blessings in my life.
In the beginning of January that school year, I saw a job posted online for a media specialist position, but the school was on the opposite side of town from where my son was attending school. My mind was filled with questions. How would I get my son to school if my job was on the other side of town and I had to go to work an hour earlier than his school started Should I still apply I hoped for guidance and good luck. I knew I had to have faith, so I applied for the job, but I didn't hear anything for weeks.
I played my inspiring music so much that my son, who knew the words, would sing along. I continued to thank someone in my heart of hearts for my good luck and tried to stay positive. Yet, by the end of January, I started to doubt myself. As I drove my son to school, he seemed to know how I felt, but said nothing. Then one evening, I received a sign appearing on my mirror, which looked like a Chinese symbol.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
I searched Chinese symbols for the meaning of the sign. Within days, I received a phone call from the school to which I had applied.
写前导读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者想申请媒体专家的职位，但是职位所在的学校与作者儿子上学的地方在不同方向，作者陷入了两难。作者在某天晚上看到镜子上有一个符号，有什么启发？作者的问题解决了吗？
[精彩范文]
I searched Chinese symbols for the meaning of the sign. And finally I found the exact symbol that had appeared on my mirror. Next to the symbol were the words, “Faith, Belief, Trust.” I stared at the words. It was a sign which reminded me of the importance of faith and belief. It was at this time that I felt like a heavy load had been lifted suddenly from my shoulders. I didn't need to worry about finding a job. I just had to have faith, belief and trust.
Within days, I received a phone call from the school to which I had applied. It said that I needed to attend an interview for the job. I was very glad. Because I had got prepared for so long that I went on the interview with confidence and the faith that was already mine. The interview went smoothly. Not only did I get the media specialist position, but the work of getting my son to school was addressed, too. I needn't worry about it any more.

Three Days to See
假如给我三天光明
I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life.

因为黑暗会使他更加珍惜视力；寂静将教会他享受声音的乐趣。
Now and then I have tested my seeing friends to discover what they see.

Recently, I asked a friend who had just returned from a long walk in the woods what she had observed. “Nothing in particular，” she replied.

Ⅰ 阅读
In the seventh grade I realized I was dyslexic (诵读困难的), which made it difficult for me to read and spell. I did really badly in my history course, so my mother said to me, “I'll work with you for a full week. I'm going to show you what you can do if you put in the right amount of effort.” So we did. We worked on history for a full week, an extra hour every day. But I still failed the test as always.
题号 Ⅰ Ⅱ Ⅲ Ⅳ
难度 ★ ★★ ★ ★★★
By the time I got to college, things didn't get better. I would wait in registration lines all day to sign up for extra courses. Then I would go around the first day of class and ask each professor: “What's your policy on misspelling？” If he said, “Three misspellings is a fail，” I'd drop it.
Although I was an academic failure, I had a great time. I had many friends and I was always popular. I was a good football player. I never had a day when I would think “People don't like me.”
In spite of my obvious weaknesses, I became successful in my career, so that people say to me, “So you've overcome dyslexia.” No. I don't overcome it. I just learn to compensate__for it. Some easy things are hard for me. Most people read 500 words a minute. I only read 200. I try not to dial a phone because I sometimes have to dial three times to get the number right. I owe my successful career to my writing instructor, Ralph Salisbury. He looked past my misspellings and gave me encouragement. So I always feel confident.
篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者患有阅读障碍症，但是母亲教导他努力上进，最终他过上了成功的生活。
The real fear that I have for dyslexic people is not that they have to struggle with their reading skills or that they can't spell correctly, but that they will quit on themselves before they get out of school.

A．She led him to make more efforts.
B.She taught him history in person.
C．She blamed his laziness bitterly.

4．What is the author's suggestion for dyslexic people
A．They should make more efforts to practice reading skills.
B．They should turn to a writing instructor for help.
C．They should not give up on themselves.
D．They should ignore the disease.

I loved being a teacher, but for years I had been eager to become a librarian. However, the timing was never right for me to go back to school. Finally, the time came and I received my media specialist degree. But my biggest difficulty was yet to come. I wanted to find a job as a media specialist in a nearby elementary school, and those positions were hard to get.
The new school year started, and I was teaching fourth grade again. As the months passed from August to December without any job opportunities, my optimism and faith began to fade. To stay positive, I listened repeatedly to several inspiring songs in the car on my commute to my son's school and my job. Every morning, I thanked someone in my heart of hearts for my new job as a media specialist as if I already had it, my family, and the other blessings in my life.
In the beginning of January that school year, I saw a job posted online for a media specialist position, but the school was on the opposite side of town from where my son was attending school. My mind was filled with questions. How would I get my son to school if my job was on the other side of town and I had to go to work an hour earlier than his school started Should I still apply I hoped for guidance and good luck. I knew I had to have faith, so I applied for the job, but I didn't hear anything for weeks.
I played my inspiring music so much that my son, who knew the words, would sing along. I continued to thank someone in my heart of hearts for my good luck and tried to stay positive. Yet, by the end of January, I started to doubt myself. As I drove my son to school, he seemed to know how I felt, but said nothing. Then one evening, I received a sign appearing on my mirror, which looked like a Chinese symbol.

I searched Chinese symbols for the meaning of the sign. And finally I found the exact symbol that had appeared on my mirror. Next to the symbol were the words, “Faith, Belief, Trust.” I stared at the words. It was a sign which reminded me of the importance of faith and belief. It was at this time that I felt like a heavy load had been lifted suddenly from my shoulders. I didn't need to worry about finding a job. I just had to have faith, belief and trust.
Within days, I received a phone call from the school to which I had applied. It said that I needed to attend an interview for the job. I was very glad. Because I had got prepared for so long that I went on the interview with confidence and the faith that was already mine. The interview went smoothly. Not only did I get the media specialist position, but the work of getting my son to school was addressed, too. I needn't worry about it any more.
