When she was very young, she became very ill. After that, she could not see or hear. As a result, she also couldn’t speak. For a few years, she lived in a dark and silent world. She often felt angry and hopeless. Everything changed when her teacher, Anne Sullivan, came into her life. Anne was strict but patient. She taught Helen that everything had a name. She spelled words into Helen’s hand. At first, Helen didn’t understand. One day, Anne put Helen’s hand under running water and spelled “W-A-T-E-R” on her other hand. Suddenly, Helen realized the secret of language. She understood that the cool, flowing thing was called “water”. From that day, she was thirsty for knowledge. Helen learned to read Braille with her fingers. She learned to write and type. She even learned to speak, though it was very difficult. Later, she went to college and became the first deaf-blind person to get a university degree. She traveled around the world, wrote books, and gave speeches to encourage people with difficulties. She said, “Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.” Helen’s story teaches us that with strong will, patience, and the right help, we can overcome great difficulties and become lifelong learners. 6. What happened to Helen Keller when she was young? A. She couldn’t see or hear. B. She couldn’t walk. C. She lost her family. D. She moved to another country. 7. How did Anne Sullivan teach Helen the word “water”? A. By showing her a picture of water. B. By spelling it into her hand while letting her feel real water. C. By writing it on paper. D. By saying it loudly many times. 8. What does “thirsty for knowledge” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Wanting to drink water very much. B. Having a strong desire to learn. C. Feeling tired of studying. D. Being good at asking questions. 9. What did Helen Keller do after she grew up? A. She became a teacher for the deaf and blind. B. She stayed at home and wrote diaries. C. She traveled, wrote books, and encouraged others. D. She invented a new language for the blind. 10. What is the most important lesson from Helen’s story? A. Learning languages is very easy. B. People with disabilities cannot be successful. C. With strong will and help, we can overcome difficulties and keep learning. D. Only teachers can change a person’s life. C In a disaster, you may not stay calm as you thought before. Many people’s reactions (反应) can even put them in greater danger. One common but dangerous response (反应) is to freeze and do nothing. In scary situations, people’s brains may not work well, causing them to respond slowly. Sometimes, people don’t believe they are really in danger, so they ignore (忽视) what is happening. Moreover, stress makes clear thinking difficult. For example, during a house fire, people might risk their lives to run back into a burning building for their wallets without thinking. You should try to avoid this kind of situation for your safety. So, how can you improve your chances of surviving a disaster? The key is to be prepared in advance. Being prepared helps you act quickly without thinking too much. We can recognize (识别) danger early if we learn the warning signs of different natural disasters. You also need to be prepared, even after the danger passes. In big disasters like earthquakes or tsunamis (海啸), it takes time for rescuers (营救人员) to reach everyone in need. To increase your chance of survival (存活), make sure to have a disaster plan that includes escape (逃生) routes and a meeting place for your family. You should also prepare a first-aid kit. Learning how to avoid common mistakes and prepare properly for disasters may just save your life! 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 11. How does the writer start the text? A. By telling a moving story. B. By pointing out (指出) a common problem. C. By introducing a famous person. D. By listing some numbers. 12. What is a common but dangerous response people have during a disaster? A. They cry loudly. B. They freeze and do nothing. C. They try to save everyone around them. D. They immediately call for help. 13. Why does the writer suggest learning the warning signs of natural disasters? A. To become a scientist. B. To write a book about disasters. C. To ignore them completely. D. To recognize danger early. 14. Which of the following is NOT a suggestion from the text? A. Turn off the gas and electricity. B. Create a disaster plan with escape routes. C. Prepare a first-aid kit. D. Choose a meeting place for family. 15. What is the main purpose of this text? A. To tell exciting stories about disasters. B. To explain how different disasters form. C. To teach people how to prepare for disasters. D. To show what disasters are like. 阅读下面短文，从文后所给的A、B、C、D、E中，选出恰当的一项还原到文中合适的位置，使文章内容完整且符合逻辑。 Money may not buy happiness, but it helps.
