and I just couldn t do it The second grade was not much better I still struggled with the inability to read It was in the third grade that the school district built a new school close to my home I remember going there with my parents and helping to get the school ready so that we could move to the new one However things were still not much better as far as my schooling was concerned and did not get better for the next two years It was in the fifth grade Mi s Wakefield was my teacher and if ever there was a teacher that deserved a gold star it was her She did not make me feel defeated On the contrary she did her best to let me know that I could be whatever I wanted to be And that is just what I did For the past 22 years I have been a fifth grade teacher Because of Mrs Wakefield s influence on my life I am now encouraging students who have had difficulties in their lives to believe that they can overcome any difficulty and become someone I have won numerous awards up to now

photographs in California argues that it develops as a result of the contemporary art The show Sight Unseen at the California Museum of Photography until Aug 29 includes everything underwater scenes landscapes abstracts and everything else you might expect from a sighted photographer How do the blind take their photographs Some rely on assistants to set up and then describe the shots 镜头 and others just point and shoot in the right place Just like any good artists says McCulloh They have their unique ways of operating One participating photographer is Pete Eckert an artist with multiple degrees in design and sculpture who only turned to photography after losing his vision in the mid 1990s He opens the shutter 快门 on his camera and then uses flashlights lights and candies to paint his scene on film A former fashion photographer in Chicago Weston lost his vision due to AIDS in 1996 and focuses on images of destruction and disability His photos are also a star of the show What do gallery goers say I was very impressed by it The technique and experience was amazingly different says John Hesketh a printmaker in Anaheim You never have a sense of feeling sorry for these people because they ve worked very hard to prove their value Beyond the praise however the exhibition also makes a great example for disabled people everywhere That point was explained in early May during a discussion on the TV show At the very end of the talk one attendee expressed his opinion This exhibition is extraordinary and revolutionary for many reasons I think that by being an artist with a disability you are continuing the work of those people who fought for basic civil rights to gain access and to have a voice In that way it s so wonderful that your photographs say it all 63 From the passage we know that some blind people take photos by A describing the things to their assistants B holding the camera and shooting randomly C opening the shutter with the help of others D using

the blind in the world D Some years ago a Miami woman walking through an office building noticed two men standing together Several minutes after her leaving the men murdered a person working in the building The police determined that the woman was the only witness and could possibly describe them However her memory of the men proved disappointingly unclear Several days later psychologist Ronald Fisher was brought in to obtain a more complete account from the woman His interview produced a breakthrough the woman reported a clear picture of one of the suspects The important information enabled the police lo arrest the suspect and close the case The police asked Fisher for help because of his rich knowledge in cognitive interview a kind of memory rebuilding process Memory researchers have found that people trying to remember a past event often only recall part of the relevant information Human memory is selective and it is often distorted by stress But a person s accurate recall of an event or understanding of a question can be improved using specific interviewing techniques The cognitive interview was developed in the late 1990s It encourages the witness to take an active role in recalling information rather than giving answers only to someone else s questions The witness first describes what happened in his or her own words with no interviewer interruptions The interviewer then goes further with specific techniques such as having the witness tell the details of what happened from different perspectives 角度 The cognitive interview focuses on guiding witnesses through four general recalling techniques thinking about physical surroundings and personal feelings that existed at the time of past events reporting everything that conies to mind about those events no matter how broken it is retelling events in a variety of time orders such as from beginning to end end to beginning forward or backward and adopting different perspectives while recalling events Experiments with police detectives trained in this demanding interview method find that they obtain nearly 50 more information from witnesses than before training while error rates remain about the same It is proved that cognitive interviews are quite important tools in improving the accuracy and completeness of witness testimony 证词 67 The purpose of the passage is to A give an account of a murder case B introduce an idea of cognitive interview C prove Fisher was an expert in cognitive interview D help a witness to recall information in a cognitive interview 68 What is required to recall in a cognitive interview for a witness A The exact time at which a murder took place B The information about the event in the time order C The important things that come to his or her mind D The surroundings and feelings at the time of the event 69 The key point in a cognitive interview is that A the witness is encouraged to take part in recalling information B the interviewer should interrupt the witness from time to time C the interview should take place outside the police station D the witness should recall details at the scene of the event 70 The underlined word distorted in the passage probably means A arranged B balanced C changed D examined 第二节 共5小题 每小题2分 共10分 根据短文内容 从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项 选项中有两 项为多余选项 Most drinks stating that they are fruit flavored 水果味道的 contain no

sometimes the actual content can be non existent said Food Commission spokesperson Lan Tokelove Food production is highly competitive 71 It will increase profits and consumers won t always realize they are being tricked Flavorings are focused on the flavors of natural food products such as fruits meats and vegetables or creating flavor for food products that do not have the desired flavors Researchers analyzed the contents of 28 strawberry flavored products sold in stores 72 Of the 11 products that did contain strawberries five of them contained less than one percent real fruit In addition each juice box contained nearly eight teaspoons of sugar 73 Let s take jam as an example Some strawberry flavored jam was labeled as containing no artificial colors flavors or sweeteners but it contained absolutely no strawberries at all 74 Consumers have the rights to know clearly about what they have bought Under current UK law Food packages do no not have to distinguish between natural and artificial flavoring Describing a product as strawberry flavor and covering the surface of the packed with pictures of stawberries is misleading 75 Unfortunatcly it is also legal and widespread Tokelove said A The products which contain real fruit are popular with people B Even products advertised as more natural often contained no fruit C They found that about 60 percent of them didn t contain any fruit at all D If companies can cut their costs by using flavoring they are likely to do so E It is important and necessary to demand a small amount of flavoring in the products F Actually
