Ⅱ.阅读理解（每小题2分，共10分）
Justin Salas was only 14 years old when he lost his ability of using his sight completely and was declared legally blind. Now at the age of 22, the ambitious young man is a living example that nothing is impossible — even though he can’t see, Justin is a professional photographer and skilled rock climber.
Justin’s blindness wasn’t the result of an unfortunate accident. His eyesight had always been poor and he started wearing glasses when he was 5 years old. But it wasn’t until his first year of high school that his eyesight started to become worse at a rapid pace. His glasses no longer helped and tests showed that his eye nerves were dying, although the cause was a mystery for all the doctors who he had seen.
A doctor at the Dean McGee Eye Institute in Oklahoma City, one of the best eye clinics in the country, told Justin’s parents that the condition was psychological and he should just go home and relax. After a whole year of scans and blood tests, doctors gave him the diagnosis of "optic neuropathy (视神经病变) of unknown origin" and shattered his world when they told him it was incurable. Without the ability to do the things he most enjoyed, the young boy pulled away from the world. He didn’t speak at all for some days. He just stood in front of an oversized computer screen, because if he leaned very close, he could still make out the blurry outlines of familiar shapes and letters.
But one day, his close friend Beau Johnson asked him if he wanted to ride a bike. On the way, Johnson carefully reminded him of the things that he couldn’t see in front of him. And Justin gradually began to expose himself to the outside world again. Because of this, Justin’s family all called him Justin’s "Seeing Eye person".
Then another friend invited him to a rock climbing gym, telling him that he didn’t have to see to climb but that he could feel to climb. The boy took him up on the offer, and he has been climbing ever since. Some of the rocks are as high as 50 feet, but Justin has never cared about them and finished climbing them with the help of his friend.
Maybe you wonder how Justin knows where to position his feet during a climb. Well, that’s what friends are there for. They call out some information like "Handhold one o’clock, Justin! One o’clock" from down below, which is the only thing that he can really depend on, apart from his own memory. "The process is feeling all the holds and having someone tell me where the holds are," Justin says. "Then I feel every shape of the hold, in which direction it goes. I start memorizing and putting pieces together and memorizing how my body feels when I’m in certain positions. So I know, whenever I go back to do it again, how it feels. And then I do the route over and over again, even if it takes falling dozens of times."
It’s been working pretty well, though, as Justin has climbed many high-level rocks during his short career, and even landed several sponsorships, including one from chalk company FrictionLabs.
But rock climbing is not the only extraordinary thing Justin Salas does. He is also a professional photographer and has his own photography business, specializing in adventure shots, landscape photography and so on. There was no doubt that this new passion gave him a way to see through his own vision loss. To frame his shots properly, Justin has other still working senses — the sound of his subjects’ voices, the warmth and angle of the sun on his body and his memory from when his eyes actually worked.
Even though he can’t see what he shoots, you can have a good view of his shots on his Twitter. Looking at them, nobody could probably guess that the photographer is legally blind.
1. What do we know about Justin’s blindness?
A. He has lost his eyesight since he was five.
B. His blindness resulted from an accident.
C. He didn’t know why his eyes suffered a lot.
D. His inferior glasses made his eyesight worse.
2. What does the underlined word "shattered" probably mean?
A. Challenge.
B. Interrupt.
C. Shake.
D. Destroy.
3. Why was Johnson called the Seeing Eye person by Justin’s family?
A. He inspired Justin to take cameras as his "eyes".
B. He succeeded in making Justin recover his eyesight finally.
C. He helped Justin get out of the shadow of blindness slowly.
D. He taught Justin how to live independently and confidently.
4. How does Justin become familiar with the rock climbing route?
A. With the help of a coach.
B. Through his own memory.
C. Through the angle of the sun.
D. By using a high-tech electronic device.
5. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Justin is very skillful and professional in photography.
B. Viewers don’t care much about Justin’s blindness.
C. Justin doesn’t wish others to talk about his story.
D. Justin’s photographs are very popular online.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。Justin虽然双目失明,但他通过顽强的毅力战胜了自己的残疾,如今他是一名专业的摄影师和优秀的攀岩运动员。
2. D【解析】考查词义猜测。根据画线词后面的"his world when they told him it was incurable. Without the ability to do the things he most enjoyed, the young boy pulled away from the world. He didn’t speak at all for some days..."可知,当医生告诉Justin他的眼睛无法治愈时,他肯定会觉得他的世界瞬间崩塌了,他不再有能力做 自己最喜欢的事情,并且使自己与现实世界脱离开来。由此可知,shatter的意思应是"粉碎,破坏",与destroy 的意思相近。故答案选D项。
4. B【解析】考查细节理解。根据第六段的最后三句可知,Justin是凭借自己的记忆来记忆并熟悉攀岩路线的。 故答案选B项。
5. A【解析】考查推理判断。根据最后一段的内容尤其是最后一句话可知,当人们看到这些照片时,绝对想不 到它们是由盲人拍的。这说明Justin在摄影方面很专业,他的摄影技术很好。故答案选A项。

I still remember what happened to my deskmate and me in Grade One. She did well in math tests, which I often laughed at. At last it aroused her anger but she decided to turn her back on me. As the result, I was refused when I needed her help. My friends began to play fun of me about it. Feeling ashamed, I asked her for forgiveness for what I had done wrongly and promised not to do. She agreed to make friends with me again. And from then on I get along well with my friends, keeping the lesson in mind.
With an old saying goes, ＂Do to others as you would have them to do to you.＂ My experience tells me that only when we respect others can we gain other’s respect.
【答案】
I still remember what happened to my deskmate and me in Grade One. She did ?in math tests, which I often laughed at. At last it aroused her anger ?she decided to turn her back on me.

?an old saying goes, ＂Do to others as you would have them to do to you.＂ My experience tells me that only when we respect others can we gain ?respect.
【解析】第一处：此处是说她数学考得不好，应该用副词poorly修饰动词did，故把well改为poorly。
第二处：此处表示顺承而不是转折，故把but改为and。
第三处：as a result表示＂结果＂，故把the改为a。
第八处：as a saying goes表示＂俗语道＂，故把With改为As。
第九处： have sb do sth表示＂让某人做某事＂，故把do前面的to去掉。
第十处：others’表示＂他人的＂，故把other’ s改为others’。

【参考范文】
Dear editor,
I’m glad to know from your paper that you are asking readers for suggestions on your new section, Environmental Protection. Mine are as follows:
The section should cover a wide range of environmental concerns and meanwhile, each report should include causes, effects and more importantly, effective measures, thus making the public aware that everyone should and can do something to deal with environmental problems. Besides, reports should be written in simple English in order to attract as many readers as possible.
I’d appreciate it if you could take my tips into account and I do hope that your paper will make a difference to environmental protection.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
