The programme works because everyone’s eyes are different. So in the future you won’t have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You’ll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are. The eye-recognition (识别) programme is already being tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain, Spain, Italy and Turkey. Soon, this technology will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are. However, scientists are working on other systems. Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger. Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don’t change as you get older, or get dirty like hands or fingers. And even twins have different eyes, so the programme can be up to 94％ correct, depending on how good the technology is. Some programmes may only be right 51％ of the time. In Britain, it was found that 91％ of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition. In the future your computer will be looking at you in the eye. So smile! 29．How does the eye-recognition programme work? A．You write your number. B．You show your ID card. C．You look at the machine. D．You say your name. 30．Why can the programme be up to 94％ correct? A．Because eyes never change. B．Because hands or fingers can get dirty. C．Because people like the idea of the programme. D．Because the programme is widely used around the world. 31．Which of the following is true? A．The programme is being tested in Japan. B．Machines with other systems can also tell who you are. C．91％of people like the idea of the programme. D．Computers can remember you by looking at your clothes. 32．What does this passage mainly talk about? A．Introduction to some kinds of programmes. B．Introduction to the eye-recognition programme. C．The way how the eye-recognition programme works. D．The places where the eye-recognition programme is tested. 【答案】29．C 30．A 31．B 32．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了眼睛识别程序的相关信息。 29．细节理解题。根据“You’ll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are.”可知，只需要眼睛看向机器就能被识别出身份。故选C。 30．细节理解题。根据“Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don’t change as you get older, or get dirty like hands or fingers. And even twins have different eyes, so the programme can be up to 94％ correct,”可知，眼睛识别比其他类型的要好，因为你的眼睛不会随着年龄的增长而改变。故选A。 31．细节理解题。根据“However, scientists are working on other systems. Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger.”可知，有很多其他的程序也能够识别人的身份。故选B。 32．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了眼睛识别程序的相关信息。故选B。 C On Sept. 7, famous Chinese archaeologist (考古学家) Fan Jinshi, 85, was awarded by UNESCO for her contribution (贡献) to the protection of the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang. Called the “daughter of Dunhuang”, her story with the caves started 60 years ago. In 1963, Fan, then a 25-year-old Peking University graduate, had the chance to work at the Mogao Caves, a place she had wanted to explore for a long time. “Seeing Dunhuang for the first time was breathtaking. But only when truly staying here did I realize that inside the caves is a world of divine beauty while outside is a land of blowing sand and yellow earth,” Fan told Gansu Daily. Back in those days, the Mogao Caves were almost completely cut off from the world. Fan and her coworkers had to live in mud houses and drink salty water. They stayed inside the Caves to copy murals (壁画) and do whatever they could to protect and restore them. In 2011 after 40 years of hard work, a report on 10 Mogao Caves by Fan’s team was finally published. It was known as China's first professional report on cave archaeology. As time passed. Fan found a serious problem. The increasing number of tourists visiting Dunhuang might harm the caves, causing the murals inside to fade. Something needed to be done to preserve Dunhuang’s heritage. In the late 1980s, Fan stumbled upon computer technology by chance. She realized that this might preserve the Mogao Caves forever. After over 30 years of exploration, the Dunhuang Academy built a digital database to protect cultural relics (文物) there, allowing Dunhuang’s art to live forever and to step out of the caves to meet the world. “In my whole life, I’ve only done one thing: protect and promote the world cultural heritage of the Mogao Caves,” she told People’s Daily. “My heart belongs to Dunhuang.” 33．What can we learn about Fan from the passage? A．She is a woman of great determination (决心). B．Her health was affected by her hard work. C．She began her work at the Mogao Caves at 83. D．She studied archaeology at Nanjing University. 34．What was Fan’s first impression (印象) of Dunhuang? A．It was an amazing place. B．The environment was terrible. C．It was in great need of protection. D．The working conditions were better than expected. 35．What pushed Fan to set up a digital database for the Mogao Caves? A．Her interest in computer technology. B．Her dream of spreading Chinese culture. C．The increasing risk of harm to the caves. D．The need to publish the professional report. 36．What does Fan think of her work in Dunhuang? A．It has won her great respect. B．It has been her lifelong career. C．It has influenced many young people. D．It has helped with cultural exchange. 【答案】33．A 34．A 35．C 36．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了考古学家樊锦诗为保护敦煌莫高窟所做的贡献。 33．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Back in those days, the Mogao Caves were almost completely cut off from the world. Fan and her coworkers had to live in mud houses and drink salty water.”可知，那时候，莫高窟几乎与外界完全隔绝。樊和她的同事不得不住在泥房子里，喝咸水。可推知，在如此艰难的环境工作，樊锦诗是一个意志坚定的女人。故选A。 34．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Seeing Dunhuang for the first time was breathtaking.”可知，第一次看到敦煌是惊人的。可见，樊锦诗第一次见到敦煌时觉得那是一个令人惊奇的地方。故选A。 35．推理判断题。由文章第六段中“The increasing number of tourists visiting Dunhuang might harm the caves, causing the murals inside to fade.”可知，越来越多的游客来敦煌旅游，可能会损害洞穴，导致里面的壁画褪色。根据第七段中“In the late 1980s, Fan stumbled upon computer technology by chance…allowing Dunhuang’s art to live forever and to step out of the caves to meet the world.”可知，在20世纪80年代末，樊偶然发现了计算机技术。她意识到这可能会永远保存莫高窟。经过30多年的探索，敦煌研究院建立了一个数字数据库来保护那里的文物，让敦煌的艺术永远活下去，走出洞穴，与世界相遇。由此可知，越来越多的游客来敦煌旅游，对实体洞穴的威胁越来越大，促使樊为莫高窟建立数字数据库。故选C。 36．细节理解题。根据最后一段“‘In my whole life, I’ve only done one thing: protect and promote the world cultural heritage of the Mogao Caves,’ she told People’s Daily. ‘My heart belongs to Dunhuang.’”可知，“在我的一生中，我只做了一件事：保护和促进莫高窟的世界文化遗产，”他告诉《人民日报》。“我的心属于敦煌。”由此可知，樊锦诗觉得她在敦煌的工作是她毕生的事业。故选B。 D Watson had been watching his friend closely since sitting down to breakfast. Holmes happened to look up and meet his eyes. “Watson, what are you thinking about?” he asked. “You.” “Me?” “Yes, Holmes. I was just thinking about how easily you picked up all these tricks of yours.” “No doubt,” Holmes answered with a smile. “Would you care to give me an example of my method of reasoning?” “With pleasure,” said Watson. “I can tell that you were quite absent-minded this morning.” “Excellent!” said Holmes. “How could you possibly know that?” “Because you’re usually a neat man, but today, you’ve forgotten to shave (刮脸).” “Dear me!” said Holmes. “I had no idea. Watson, that you were so clever. Has your eagle eye detected anything else?” “Yes, Holmes. You have a client named Barlow, and you’ve been unsuccessful with his case.” “Dear me, how could you know that?” “I saw the name on the outside of his envelope. When you opened it, you groaned (叹息) and put it in your pocket with a frown (皱眉). “You are indeed good at noticing things around you. Any other points?” “Yes, Holmes, you’ve put on your black coat, instead of your usual dressing gown. You must be expecting an important visitor.” “Anything else?” “I could find other points, Holmes, but I’m only giving you these few, in order to show you that there are other people in the world who can be as clever as you.” “And some not so clever,” said Holmes. “I admit they are few, but I’m afraid, my dear Watson, that I miscount you among them.” “What do you mean, Holmes? You mean I was mistaken?” “Just a little that way, I fear. Let’s go over your reasoning: I didn’t shave because I’d sent my razor out to be repaired. I put on my coat because I have an early appointment with my dentist. His name is Barlow, and the letter was to confirm the time. But go on, Watson! It’s a simple trick, and no doubt you’ll soon master it.” 37．What can you know about Holmes according to the conversation? A．He is good at reasoning. B．He often plays tricks on others. C．He often looks untidy. D．He is always absent-minded. 38．Why is Watson giving Holmes some examples? A．To help Holmes solve a case. B．To show that he is as clever as Holmes. C．To talk about their suspect. D．To discuss how to be a good detective. 39．What does the underlined word “them” in the conversation refer to? A．People who know Holmes well. B．People who are really successful. C．People who look like Holmes. D．People who are not so clever. 40．How might Watson feel at the end of the conversation? A．Unhappy. B．Proud. C．Nervous. D．Excited. 【答案】37．A 38．B 39．D 40．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了Watson自以为自己很聪明，能够识别福尔摩斯的诡计，但福尔摩斯告诉他，他的推理有误，他并没有自己想象中的那么聪明。 37．细节理解题。根据“I was just thinking about how easily you picked up all these tricks of yours.”及“Would you care to give me an example of my method of reasoning?”可知，福尔摩斯擅长推理。故选A。 38．细节理解题。根据“I could find other points, Holmes, but I’m only giving you these few, in order to show you that there are other people in the world who can be as clever as you.”可知，Watson给福尔摩斯举一些例子是为了表明他和福尔摩斯一样聪明。故选B。 39．词义猜测题。根据“‘And some not so clever,’ said Holmes. ‘I admit they are few, but I’m afraid, my dear Watson, that I miscount you among them.’”可知，“还有一些不那么聪明的人，”福尔摩斯说，“我承认他们很少，但我恐怕，我亲爱的Watson，我把你漏掉了。”，由此可知，them指代前文“不那么聪明的人”。故选D。 40．推理判断题。根据“What do you mean, Holmes? You mean I was mistaken?”及“Just a little that way, I fear.”可知，福尔摩斯最后告诉Watson，他的推理有误，由此可知他可能会感到不高兴。故选A。 四、信息还原（共5小题，每道题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有两项是多余选项。 Have you ever wondered how blind people read? Thanks to a system invented by Louis Braille, blind people can learn to use their fingers to read. In 1809, Braille was born in a small town in France. 41 Later, his other eye was infected, resulting in complete blindness. His blindness inspired him to become an inventor who made contributions to all blind people. When Braille was ten years old, his parents sent him to a special school for blind students. Braille learned how to read at this school. He was first taught to read by feeling raised letters on paper. 42 Too many letters felt the same, for they had similar shapes. Then, in 1821, Braille heard about a night-reading code system. It was a 12-dot (12凸点)system that was created for night-time communication between soldiers. However, this system didn’t allow the fingertip to cover a whole letter. The readers had to move their fingers to feel the letters. 43 Three years later, Braille developed a shorter and simpler touch system based on the night-reading code system. He used six raised dots with different combinations (组合) to stand for each letter. 44 Blind people could read much faster and more easily. Braille died in 1852, but his touch system lives on. 45 A．It allowed a blind person to feel a whole letter without moving his or her finger. B．Now people call this touch system Braille in honor of Louis Braille. C．Braille thought that the night-reading code system could be improved for blind people. D．However, this was slow and difficult. E．Braille thought that the 12-dot system was a perfect choice for the blind. F．When he was three, he accidentally hurt one of his eyes when he was playing. 【答案】41．F 42．D 43．C 44．A 45．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了路易斯·布莱叶发明的一种系统，这个系统能让盲人可以用手指阅读。 41．根据“Later, his other eye was infected, resulting in complete blindness.”可知，他的另一只眼睛被感染，导致完全失明。前句应该说他的一只眼睛如何失明的。选项F“当他三岁时，他在玩的时候不小心伤了一只眼睛”符合语境。故选F。 42．根据“Too many letters felt the same, for they had similar shapes.”可知，太多的字母感觉一样，因为它们的形状相似。布莱叶第一次在纸上学习凸起的字母，这里应该填入困难的经历。选项D“然而，这很慢并且很难”符合语境。故选D。 43．根据“Three years later, Braille developed a shorter and simpler touch system based on the night-reading code system.”可知，三年后，布莱叶基于夜间阅读代码系统开发了一种更短、更简单的触摸系统。所以推测这里布莱叶认为夜间阅读系统对盲人有用处。选项C“布莱叶认为盲人夜间阅读密码系统可以改进”符合语境。故选C。 44．根据“He used six raised dots with different combinations (组合) to stand for each letter.”以及“Blind people could read much faster and more easily.”可知，他用六个不同组合的凸起点来代表每个字母。盲人可以更快、更容易地阅读。这里应该介绍这个系统的原理。选项A“它允许盲人在不移动手指的情况下感觉到整个单词”符合语境。故选A。 45．根据“Braille died in 1852, but his touch system lives on”可知，布莱叶于1852年去世，但他的触摸系统仍然存在。选项B“现在人们称这种触摸系统为布莱叶，以纪念路易斯·布莱叶”。故选B。 五、综合填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面的短文，在短文空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。将所填答案填写在相应题号的横线上。 Two heads are better than one. It 46 (mean) that two people working together have a better chance of solving problems than one person. But not everyone likes working with others — especially when working in a group. There can be a number of 47 (reason) why people dislike group work. Some may feel nervous or 48 (comfortable) in group situations. Others may have a bad experience with someone who doesn’t work well as a team. In fact, cooperative (合作的) learning 49 (become) a wonderful method so far. It can help solve the problem and have 50 (far) study. It is very 51 (value) because it gives each person of the group a duty to achieve a shared goal. For example, if learners are divided into groups of four people, their roles (角色) may be 52 (lead), writer, checker, speaker. This makes sure everyone takes part in the group work. It also allows each member 53 (play) a meaningful part in completing the shared goal. Besides, you can learn to listen to others while your team members 54 (talk). Of course, it’s better to pay attention to explaining something 55 (clear) before the cooperative activity: the main job for the activity and how the cooperative roles work. With the cooperative learning method, we can say that four heads are better than just one. 【答案】 46．means 47．reasons 48．uncomfortable 49．has become 50．further 51．valuable 52．leader 53．to play 54．are talking 55．clearly 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了合作学习的重要性。 46．句意：这意味着两个人一起工作比一个人有更好的解决问题的机会。mean“意味着”，动词，时态为一般现在时，主语是It，谓语动词应用第三人称单数，故填means。 47．句意：人们不喜欢小组合作可能有很多原因。a number of“许多的”，修饰可数名词复数，故填reasons。 48．句意：有些人在小组情况下可能会感到紧张或不舒服。comfortable“舒服的”，此处与nervous并列，应用其反义词uncomfortable“不舒服的”，故填uncomfortable。 49．句意：事实上，到目前为止，合作学习已经成为一种很好的学习方法。根据“so far”可知，时态用现在完成时“have/has done”，主语是cooperative learning，助动词应用has，become的过去分词为become，故填has become。 50．句意：它可以帮助解决问题，并有进一步的研究。根据“It can help solve the problem and have ... study.”及语境可知，此处应用形容词比较级further，表示进一步研究，修饰名词study，故填further。 51．句意：它是非常有价值的，因为它赋予团队中的每个人实现共同目标的责任。此处作表语应用形容词valuable“有价值的”，故填valuable。 52．句意：例如，如果学习者被分成四人一组，他们的角色可能是领导、作家、检查员、演讲者。根据“writer, checker, speaker”可知，此处应用名词单数leader“领导”，故填leader。 53．句意：这也允许每个成员在完成共同目标中发挥有意义的作用。allow sb. to do sth.“允许某人做某事”，故填to play。 54．句意：此外，当你的团队成员说话时，你可以学会倾听别人。根据“you can learn to listen to others while your team members ...”可知，此处while引导的时间状语从句，应用现在进行时“am/is/are doing”，主语your team members是复数，be动词用are，talk的现在分词为talking，故填are talking。 55．句意：当然，最好在合作活动之前清楚地解释一些事情。此处应用副词clearly“清楚地”修饰动词短语explaining something，故填clearly。 六、首字母填空（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分） 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整 Here is a piece of news from China Daily.

Then the 72-year-old woman planned to go to China on foot. This meant she would travel about 22,000 kilometers and walk through 15 countries. The journey would be full of challenges, but she wasn’t afraid. The traveller carried only a backpack. “I also have a lot of passion with me,” she said. On August 29, 2024, she finally set foot on Chinese soil. Cammarota’s trip was inspired by Marco Polo. The Italian explorer travelled to China along the ancient Silk Road more than 700 years ago. For her, the journey was more than following in Marco Polo’s footsteps. She wanted to see the influence of China’s Belt and Road Initiative. By sharing her experiences, she now hopes her travels will help people in the West see the true beauty of China. Cammarota’s interest in China began more than 20 years ago. A Chinese student stayed in her home and told her a lot about the country’s rich culture heritage. Cammarota plans to spend two years in China. She will visit key stops along the ancient SilkRoad, including Kashgar, Dunhuang and the historic city of Xi’an. She is also looking forward to visiting Suzhou. The city was described as the “Venice of the East” by Marco Polo. Cammarota calls herself an ambassador of cultural exchange and a modern-day Marco Polo. “I want people to know about the Silk Road,” she said. “I also want to send a message to women my age. “It’s never too late to go after your dreams.” 66．How did Vienna Cammarota travel to China? 67．What did Vienna Cammarota want to see during her trip? 68．When did Vienna Cammarota become interested in China? 69．Why is Vienna Cammarota looking forward to visiting Suzhou? 70．What can we learn from Vienna Cammarota?

The programme works because everyone’s eyes are different. So in the future you won’t have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You’ll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are. The eye-recognition (识别) programme is already being tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain, Spain, Italy and Turkey. Soon, this technology will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are. However, scientists are working on other systems. Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger. Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don’t change as you get older, or get dirty like hands or fingers. And even twins have different eyes, so the programme can be up to 94％ correct, depending on how good the technology is. Some programmes may only be right 51％ of the time. In Britain, it was found that 91％ of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition. In the future your computer will be looking at you in the eye. So smile! 29．How does the eye-recognition programme work? A．You write your number. B．You show your ID card. C．You look at the machine. D．You say your name. 30．Why can the programme be up to 94％ correct? A．Because eyes never change. B．Because hands or fingers can get dirty. C．Because people like the idea of the programme. D．Because the programme is widely used around the world. 31．Which of the following is true? A．The programme is being tested in Japan. B．Machines with other systems can also tell who you are. C．91％of people like the idea of the programme. D．Computers can remember you by looking at your clothes. 32．What does this passage mainly talk about? A．Introduction to some kinds of programmes. B．Introduction to the eye-recognition programme. C．The way how the eye-recognition programme works. D．The places where the eye-recognition programme is tested. C On Sept. 7, famous Chinese archaeologist (考古学家) Fan Jinshi, 85, was awarded by UNESCO for her contribution (贡献) to the protection of the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang. Called the “daughter of Dunhuang”, her story with the caves started 60 years ago. In 1963, Fan, then a 25-year-old Peking University graduate, had the chance to work at the Mogao Caves, a place she had wanted to explore for a long time. “Seeing Dunhuang for the first time was breathtaking. But only when truly staying here did I realize that inside the caves is a world of divine beauty while outside is a land of blowing sand and yellow earth,” Fan told Gansu Daily. Back in those days, the Mogao Caves were almost completely cut off from the world. Fan and her coworkers had to live in mud houses and drink salty water. They stayed inside the Caves to copy murals (壁画) and do whatever they could to protect and restore them. In 2011 after 40 years of hard work, a report on 10 Mogao Caves by Fan’s team was finally published. It was known as China's first professional report on cave archaeology. As time passed. Fan found a serious problem. The increasing number of tourists visiting Dunhuang might harm the caves, causing the murals inside to fade. Something needed to be done to preserve Dunhuang’s heritage. In the late 1980s, Fan stumbled upon computer technology by chance. She realized that this might preserve the Mogao Caves forever. After over 30 years of exploration, the Dunhuang Academy built a digital database to protect cultural relics (文物) there, allowing Dunhuang’s art to live forever and to step out of the caves to meet the world. “In my whole life, I’ve only done one thing: protect and promote the world cultural heritage of the Mogao Caves,” she told People’s Daily. “My heart belongs to Dunhuang.” 33．What can we learn about Fan from the passage? A．She is a woman of great determination (决心). B．Her health was affected by her hard work. C．She began her work at the Mogao Caves at 83. D．She studied archaeology at Nanjing University. 34．What was Fan’s first impression (印象) of Dunhuang? A．It was an amazing place. B．The environment was terrible. C．It was in great need of protection. D．The working conditions were better than expected. 35．What pushed Fan to set up a digital database for the Mogao Caves? A．Her interest in computer technology. B．Her dream of spreading Chinese culture. C．The increasing risk of harm to the caves. D．The need to publish the professional report. 36．What does Fan think of her work in Dunhuang? A．It has won her great respect. B．It has been her lifelong career. C．It has influenced many young people. D．It has helped with cultural exchange. D Watson had been watching his friend closely since sitting down to breakfast. Holmes happened to look up and meet his eyes. “Watson, what are you thinking about?” he asked. “You.” “Me?” “Yes, Holmes. I was just thinking about how easily you picked up all these tricks of yours.” “No doubt,” Holmes answered with a smile. “Would you care to give me an example of my method of reasoning?” “With pleasure,” said Watson. “I can tell that you were quite absent-minded this morning.” “Excellent!” said Holmes. “How could you possibly know that?” “Because you’re usually a neat man, but today, you’ve forgotten to shave (刮脸).” “Dear me!” said Holmes. “I had no idea. Watson, that you were so clever. Has your eagle eye detected anything else?” “Yes, Holmes. You have a client named Barlow, and you’ve been unsuccessful with his case.” “Dear me, how could you know that?” “I saw the name on the outside of his envelope. When you opened it, you groaned (叹息) and put it in your pocket with a frown (皱眉). “You are indeed good at noticing things around you. Any other points?” “Yes, Holmes, you’ve put on your black coat, instead of your usual dressing gown. You must be expecting an important visitor.” “Anything else?” “I could find other points, Holmes, but I’m only giving you these few, in order to show you that there are other people in the world who can be as clever as you.” “And some not so clever,” said Holmes. “I admit they are few, but I’m afraid, my dear Watson, that I miscount you among them.” “What do you mean, Holmes? You mean I was mistaken?” “Just a little that way, I fear. Let’s go over your reasoning: I didn’t shave because I’d sent my razor out to be repaired. I put on my coat because I have an early appointment with my dentist. His name is Barlow, and the letter was to confirm the time. But go on, Watson! It’s a simple trick, and no doubt you’ll soon master it.” 37．What can you know about Holmes according to the conversation? A．He is good at reasoning. B．He often plays tricks on others.

Thanks to a system invented by Louis Braille, blind people can learn to use their fingers to read. In 1809, Braille was born in a small town in France. 41 Later, his other eye was infected, resulting in complete blindness. His blindness inspired him to become an inventor who made contributions to all blind people. When Braille was ten years old, his parents sent him to a special school for blind students. Braille learned how to read at this school. He was first taught to read by feeling raised letters on paper. 42 Too many letters felt the same, for they had similar shapes. Then, in 1821, Braille heard about a night-reading code system. It was a 12-dot (12凸点)system that was created for night-time communication between soldiers. However, this system didn’t allow the fingertip to cover a whole letter. The readers had to move their fingers to feel the letters. 43 Three years later, Braille developed a shorter and simpler touch system based on the night-reading code system. He used six raised dots with different combinations (组合) to stand for each letter. 44 Blind people could read much faster and more easily. Braille died in 1852, but his touch system lives on. 45 A．It allowed a blind person to feel a whole letter without moving his or her finger. B．Now people call this touch system Braille in honor of Louis Braille. C．Braille thought that the night-reading code system could be improved for blind people. D．However, this was slow and difficult. E．Braille thought that the 12-dot system was a perfect choice for the blind. F．When he was three, he accidentally hurt one of his eyes when he was playing. 五、综合填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面的短文，在短文空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。将所填答案填写在相应题号的横线上。 Two heads are better than one. It 46 (mean) that two people working together have a better chance of solving problems than one person. But not everyone likes working with others — especially when working in a group.

Others may have a bad experience with someone who doesn’t work well as a team. In fact, cooperative (合作的) learning 49 (become) a wonderful method so far. It can help solve the problem and have 50 (far) study. It is very 51 (value) because it gives each person of the group a duty to achieve a shared goal. For example, if learners are divided into groups of four people, their roles (角色) may be 52 (lead), writer, checker, speaker. This makes sure everyone takes part in the group work. It also allows each member 53 (play) a meaningful part in completing the shared goal. Besides, you can learn to listen to others while your team members 54 (talk). Of course, it’s better to pay attention to explaining something 55 (clear) before the cooperative activity: the main job for the activity and how the cooperative roles work. With the cooperative learning method, we can say that four heads are better than just one. 六、首字母填空（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分） 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整 Here is a piece of news from China Daily.
