Question

【题目】

Everyone faces difficulties in their life. Daniel Kish was born with a special eye illness and lost his eyesight before he was only 14 months old.

Soon after, however, he started to do an amazing thing. He learned to make clicks(咔哒声) with his tongue to help him move around. Kish now moves about using sonar(声呐). He is so good at it that he can ride a bicycle by himself on public roads. And he started the organization World Access for the Blind(WAFTB) in 2000, teaching others how to use sonar. In the interview with National Geographic, he explains how the sonar works.

“When I make a click sound, it produces sound waves. These waves reflect(反射) off surfaces all around and return to my ears. My brain then deals with the sound and turns it into pictures in my mind. Each click is like a camera flash, which helps me make a 3-D picture of my surroundings for hundreds of feet. It’s like having a conversation with the environment.”

Kish feels it is exciting to ride a bike using a sonar, although he needs to click twice a second, much more than he usually does. “It may sound a bit dangerous to move around the world in this way,” he says. “But most people in the world live in fear of things that they imagine. I love hiking and mountain-biking. I go almost everywhere. And I’ve never had an accident and hurt myself.”

He is happy to be able to help more blind children to improve their life. “We’ve served over 10, 000 students in nearly 40 countries,” he tells the reporter. “Many students are surprised how quickly results come. Seeing isn’t in the eyes. It’s in the mind.”

本文讲述丹尼尔．基什的故事，告诉人们要勇敢地生活。基什出生时患有一种特殊的眼疾，14个月大失明。不久之后，他学会了用舌头发出咔哒声来帮助他四处走动。基什现在开始使用声纳。他擅长骑车，在公路上可以自己骑自行车。他于2000年成立了世界盲人通道组织（WAFTB），教其他人如何使用声纳。世界上大多数人生活在他们想象的事物的恐惧中，基什周游世界从来没有出过事故，也没有伤过自己。他很高兴能够帮助更多的失明儿童改善他们的生活。他已经为近40个国家的10000多名学生提供了服务。

【1】考查细节理解。根据第一段第二句Daniel Kish was born with a special eye illness and lost his eyesight before he was only 14 months old.（丹尼尔基什出生时患有一种特殊的眼疾，在他只有14个月大之前就失去了视力。）可知丹尼尔．基什看不见世界，结合第2段第3句Kish now moves about using sonar（基什现在开始使用声纳走动）可知基什用声纳四处移动是因为它使他“看到”世界；可知选B。

【2】考查细节理解。题意：以下哪项是正确的声纳工作顺序？①The sound waves reflect off surfaces. 声波从表面反射；②The person makes a clicking sound. 发出咔哒声；③The brain turns the sound into pictures. 大脑将声音转化为图像；④The sound waves reach the person’s ears. 声波传到人的耳朵。根据第3段When I make a click sound, it produces sound waves. These waves reflect(反射) off surfaces all around and return to my ears. My brain then deals with the sound and turns it into pictures in my mind. Each click is like a camera flash, which helps me make a 3-D picture of my surroundings for hundreds of feet. It’s like having a conversation with the environment（当我发出咔哒声时，它会产生声波。这些波从周围的表面反射回来并传回我的耳朵。然后我的大脑处理声音，并在我的脑海中把它变成图片。每一次点击就像一个照相机闪光灯，它帮助我对周围数百英尺的环境进行三维拍摄。就像和环境对话一样）可知正确顺序是②①④③；选B。

【3】考查细节理解。根据第2段第4句And he started the organization World Access for the Blind(WAFTB) in 2000, teaching others how to use sonar.（他于2000年成立了世界盲人通道组织（WAFTB），教其他人如何使用声纳。）可知“世界盲人通道组织（WAFTB）教其他人如何使用声纳”；故选C。
