He hit himself in the eye with one of his fathers sharp tools, and became blind. His name was Louis Braille, and he was only four years old.He was a clever little boy, and he soon learned to “see” without his eyes. He touched things, or smelled them, or tasted them. His family described things to him. Although he couldnt see peoples faces, he learned to recognize their voices.After his seventh birthday, Louis went to the little school in the village. But there werent any books for him. His classmates read his lessons to him and his sisters helped him with his homework. He learned his lessons well, but he couldnt learn to read or write.In 1819, the village priest (牧师) told Louis Brailles story to the director of a famous school for blind boys. At this school, boys learned math, grammar, geography, history, and music. And they learned to read!Louis went to the school in Paris in February, 1819. He loved his classes and received high grades. He learned to play the piano and to knit (编织) hats and sweaters. And he learned to read with his fingers!The raised-print letters in the books at school stood up from the surface of the paper. Louis could feel them with his fingers. He was able to recognize some of them easily, but some of them were difficult. The letters had to be very large, and sometimes there were only a few letters on a page. The books were huge and heavy. And they were expensive. There were only fourteen books in the school library!Louis read the three or four books for his class again and again. He tried to think of a better way to make books for blind people. He experimented with new alphabets.After about three years, Louis invented a system of raised dots. The other students thought Louiss system was wonderful. They were able to read it easily, and they learned to write, too.Today, there are thousands of Braille books for blind people.Louis Braille was only fifteen years old when he invented his wonderful system!36. Without his eyes, he could also “see” by _ .A. touching things B. smelling or tasting thingsC. trying to recognize peoples voicesD. all the above ways37. He went to _ in February, 1819.A. a famous school for blind boys in ParisB. a music school for blind people C. a private school for blind peopleD. a school for blind people far away from Paris38. Louis Braille became famous because he invented _ .A. the English alphabetB. a system of raised dots to make books for blind peopleC. books for blind people to learn mathsD. grammar books for blind people39. The main idea of this passage is that _.A. Louis was a good student at the school in ParisB. he learned to “see” with the help of booksC. he invented a system of raised dots to make books easier for blind people to readD. there are thousands of Braille books for blind peopleBIn some children who go blind, certain parts of the brain that normally control vision appear to switch jobs and focus instead on sound, a new study has found.The study, by researchers at the University of Montreal, involved 7 adults who could see and 12 adults who had lost their vision when they were children. Each participant sat in a room with 16 loudspeakers at different locations. The room was designed so that there were no echoes. During the experiment, the speakers irregularly produced sounds. Participants had to point to where the sounds were coming from. Meanwhile, the researchers monitored blood flow in the brains of the participants to see which brain structures were working during the task.The results showed that five of the blind participants were very good at pointing to where sounds were coming from. In these people, blood flow increased in the visual cortex an area at the back of the right side of the brain. This part of the brain is usually associated with vision.The other seven blind participants showed no increase in activity in the visual cortex. These people didnt do very well at picking out where sounds were coming from. Now, the researchers are looking at whether these people have gained an enhanced sense of touch instead of sound to replace their lost vision.The scientists say that their study shows how adaptable (有适应能力的，可适应的) parts of the brain can be.40.The purpose of the experiment described in the passage is to find whether _.A. blind children can regain their sightB. blind people have a better sense of soundC. the sense of touch is better among blind peopleD. blood flow in the brains of blind people is slower41.The participants of the experiment were asked _.A. to tell the difference between 16 soundsB. to take down the time each sound lastedC. to identify the direction the sound came fromD. to detect the number of the loudspeakers42. During the experiment, blood flow in the brains of the participants was measured in order to _.A. learn about the way they react to echoesB. look for the way of enhancing hearing abilityC. find which parts of the brain were functioningD. expose the relationship between seeing and touching43. Which of the following statements best summarizes the main idea of the passage?A. Most blind people have a well-developed sense of touch.B. People go blind because of the breakdown of their visual cortex.C. Most blind people have a better sense of sound than normal people.D. Human brains can adjust themselves after the loss of a certain function.第四部分：任务型阅读请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。Celebrating sleepWorld Sleep Day, observed on 21 March, was created to bring attention to the growing number of sleep problems worldwide. Sleep is a natural part of human life, but many people in the modern world ignore its importance. As a result, sleep problems are increasingly common. In 2002, scientists at the University of Athens in Greece conducted a survey of over 35,000 people in 10 countries around the world, including China, Belgium and South Africa. Of the people that responded to the survey, 24 percent said that they did not sleep well, and based on their responses, 31.6 percent were diagnosed with insomnia and another 17.5 percent were diagnosed with borderline insomnia (失眠). In addition, 30.7 percent of survey respondents reported visiting a doctor for help with sleep problems and 11.6 per cent said that they felt very sleepy during the day. Overall, the survey found that many people suffer the effects of poor quality sleep, some examples of which are being unable to fall asleep and waking up in the middle of the night. The main factors causing these problems are pressure from school or work and a fast pace of life, but noise pollution and light pollution also interfere with sleep and contribute to poor quality sleep. The surveys findings are particularly troubling because large numbers of people were found to have difficulty sleeping at night. The short-term effects of this are tiredness and trouble concentrating. If this happens for a long time, the risk of gaining weight and having a heart attack may increase. There are many things you can do to improve the quality of your sleep. First, you should have regular sleep habits. Try to go to bed and wake up around the same time each day. You also need to make your bedroom a cool, dark, quiet place to sleep so that heat, light and noise do not dis
