　　第三部分：閱讀理解（共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分）

　　請(qǐng)認(rèn)真閱讀下列短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

　　A

　　In 1812, in a village near Paris, France, a little boy had a terrible accident. He hit himself in the eye with one of his father's 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 couldn't see people's faces, he learned to recognize their voices.

　　After his seventh birthday, Louis went to the little school in the village. But there weren't 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 couldn’t learn to read or write.

　　In 1819, the village priest (牧師) told Louis Braille's 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 (編織) 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 Louis's 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!

　　56. Without his eyes, he could also “see” by _________ .

　　A. touching things

　　B. smelling or tasting things

　　C. trying to recognize people's voices

　　D. all the above ways

　　57. He went to _________ in February, 1819.

　　A. a famous school for blind boys in Paris

　　B. a music school for blind people

　　C. a private school for blind people

　　D. a school for blind people far away from Paris

　　58. Louis Braille became famous because he invented ____ .

　　A. the English alphabet

　　B. a system of raised dots to make books for blind people

　　C. books for blind people to learn maths

　　D. grammar books for blind people

　　59. The main idea of this passage is that ____.

　　A. Louis was a good student at the school in Paris

　　B. he learned to “see” with the help of books

　　C. he invented a system of raised dots to make books easier for blind people to read

　　D. there are thousands of Braille books for blind people

　　B

　　??? Dr. Hausman is a hair detective. Once a mountain lion killed a thirteen-year-old boy. The town offered a reward of thousand dollars for anyone who would kill the lion.

　　??? One day an excited hunter came to the town to say that he had killed the mountain lion. As proof that he had killed the right animal, he showed a ball of human hair. He said he had taken the hair from the stomach of the mountain lion.

　　??? However, another hunter soon showed up to claim (索要) the reward. He too had a ball of human hair that he said he had taken from the dead lion's stomach. The town did not know which man to pay. Maybe neither one had killed the right mountain lion. To settle the argument, they decided to turn the whole thing over to Dr. Hausman.

　　??? Dr. Hausman studied the hair and reported that the second hunter should be paid. The hair in the stomach of the mountain lion he had killed matched the hair of the boy. The whole town was relieved to know for sure that the killer had been found.

　　??? There are other kinds of detectives who do not wear a uniform, like Hausman, solve endless mysteries every year. There is, for example, the dust detective. Tiny bits of dust stick to your clothes, your fingernails, your hair, or your shoes. They catch in your nose and in your ears. They tell where you have been and what you have done lately. The dust detective often helps catch a criminal by proving that he has been on the scene of the crime (犯罪) .

　　??? Then there is the wood detective. By studying a piece of wood he can tell what kind of tree the piece of wood came from. He can tell where it was grown, and how old it is. He can even tell you what the weather was like at a certain place the year Columbus landed in America. The growth rings on a tree tell him.

　　60. According to the selection, by studying a piece of wood, a wood detective can tell you ______.

　　??? A. what the weather was like the year Columbus landed in America

　　??? B. what the weather was like last year in the mountain

　　??? C. what the weather was like last month in your hometown

　　??? D. what kind of tree the piece of wood came from

　　61. Endless mysteries are solved every year by ______.
