she would have done if she 2.had been （be） given the use of her eyes for just three days． 　　On the first day， she should most like to see the people whose kindness， 3.gentleness （gentle） and companionship have made her life worth 4.living （live）．She should see the 5.books （book） which have been read to her， and which have revealed to her the 6.deepest （deep） channels of human life and the human spirit．In the afternoon， she should take 7.a long walk in the woods intoxicating her eyes on the beauties of the world of nature．On her second day， she should like to go to the museums trying to probe into the soul of man through his art．She should spend the evening at a theater or at the movies． On the third day， she should again 8.eagerly （eager） greet the dawn， anxious 9.to discover （discover） new delights and beauty．She should spend the day in the workaday world， amid the haunts of men going about the business of life．At midnight， permanent night would close in 10.on her and only then should she realize how much she had left unseen． Three Days to See 　　［1］I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf① for a few days at some time during his early adult life． Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight②； silence would teach him the joys of sound． 　　Now and then I have tested my seeing friends to discover what they see．［2］Recently， I asked a friend who had just returned from a long walk in the woods what she had observed．“Nothing in particular③，” she replied． 　　How was it possible， I asked myself， to walk for an hour through the woods and see nothing worthy of note④？ I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch⑤．［3］If I can get so much pleasure from touch， how much more beauty must be revealed by sight⑥？ And I have imagined what I should most like to see if I were given the use of my eyes， say for just three days． 　　【释疑难】　［1］have thought之后的宾语从句是复合句，使用了虚拟语气，表示与现在事实相反的假设，if从句谓语用过去式（be只能用were），主句谓语使用“would/could/should/might＋动词原形”。 　　［2］who引导定语从句修饰间接宾语a friend；what引导的宾语从句作直接宾语。 【赏靓点】　［3］句使用了If ．．．how much more ．．．的对比结构。如果“触觉”都能带来愉悦，那么“视觉”该带来多少美啊!层层递进，表达了作者对光明的无限向往。 Paras.1－3 1.语块翻译 ①突然失明、耳聋 ②对视力（能看见）更加感激 ③没什么特别的 ④值得注意的 ⑤仅仅通过触觉 ⑥通过视觉展现 2.熟词生义/靓词 （1）note （Para.3） 熟义：n．短笺，便条；笔记，记录 文中义：n．值得注意之处 （2）observe （Para.2） 赏析：observe比see更强调“带着注意力去细看”，反衬出朋友虽然“看”了却并未真正“观察”到什么。 （3）mere （Para.3） 赏析：mere强调作者仅凭触觉就能发现无穷乐趣，以此衬托出拥有视力的人却视而不见的遗憾。 　　On the first day， I should want to see the people whose kindness and gentleness and companionship have made my life worth living⑦．I do not know what it is to see into the heart of a friend through that “window of the soul⑧”， the eye．I can only “see” through my fingertips the outline of a face⑨．［4］I should like to see the books which have been read to me， and which have revealed to me the deepest channels⑩ of human life and the human spirit．In the afternoon I should take a long walk in the woods and intoxicate my eyes on the beauties of the world of nature．That night， I should not be able to sleep． 　　On my second day， I should like to see the pageant of man’s progress⑪， and I should go to the museums．I should try to probe into the soul of man⑫ through his art．The things I knew through touch I should now see．The evening of my second day I should spend at a theater or at the movies． 　　【释疑难】　［4］句是复合句，两个which引导的并列定语从句修饰先行词the books。 The following morning， I should again greet the dawn， ［5］anxious to discover new delights， new revelations of beauty⑬．Today I shall spend in the workaday world， amid the haunts of men⑭ going about the business of life⑮． Paras.4－5 1.语块翻译 ⑦ 使我的生活值得过 ⑧ 心灵的窗户 ⑨ 面部轮廓 ⑩ 最深的航道 ⑪ 人类发展的奇观 ⑫ 探究人类的灵魂 2.靓词 intoxicate （Para.4） 赏析：作者用“灌醉/陶醉”自己的眼睛（intoxicate my eyes）这一生动的比喻，淋漓尽致地表现了她对大自然美景的极度渴望。 　　At midnight permanent night would close in on me⑯ again．［6］Only when darkness had again descended upon me⑰ should I realize how much I had left unseen． 　　I who am blind can give one hint to those who see：［7］Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be stricken blind． And the same method can be applied to the other senses⑱．Hear the music of voices， the song of a bird， the mighty strains of an orchestra⑲， as if you would be stricken deaf tomorrow．Touch each object you want to touch as if tomorrow your tactile sense⑳ would fail．Smell the perfume of flowers㉑， taste with relish㉒ each morsel， as if tomorrow you could never smell and taste again．But of all the senses， I am sure that sight must be the most delightful． 　　（Excerpts from “Three Days to See” by Helen Keller） 　　【释疑难】　［5］为形容词短语作状语。 　　［7］句使用了虚拟语气。当as if从句内容表示对将来的一种假设时，从句谓语用“would/could/might＋动词原形”。 【赏靓点】　［6］句使用了Only when ．．．should I ．．．的倒装结构。强调直到再次失去光明的那一刻，才会痛彻地意识到自己错过了多少。这种“失去才知珍贵”的哲理，令人唏嘘。 Paras.6－8 1.语块翻译 ⑬ 美的种种新启示 ⑭ 到人们经常去的地方去 ⑮ 为生活琐事而奔波 ⑯ 包围我；逼近我 ⑰ 降临在我身上 ⑱ 被应用于其他感官 ⑲ 管弦乐队那雄浑而铿锵的旋律 ⑳ 触觉 ㉑ 花的芳香 ㉒ 津津有味地 2.熟词生义/靓词 （1）haunt （Para.6） 熟义：v．（鬼魂）出没；萦绕在……心头 文中义：n．常去的地方 （2）strain （Para.8） 熟义：n．压力；张力；拉伤 文中义：n．旋律；曲调（常用复数strains） （3）relish（Para.8） 赏析：relish n．享受；滋味。taste with relish意为“享受地品尝”，生动传达了对食物、对生活的细细体味。 参考译文 假如给我三天光明 　　我常常想，如果每个人在青年时期都有一段时间失明和失聪，那会是一件幸事，因为黑暗会使人更加珍惜视力，静默能教人享受声音的美妙。 　　我时常测试我那些看得见的朋友，想了解他们看到了什么。最近，我问一个在林子里散步了许久的朋友看到了什么。她答道：“没什么特别的。” 　　我自问，在林子里散步一小时之久，怎么可能没看到任何值得注意的东西呢？我一个看不见的人，仅仅通过触觉，都会发现许许多多令我感兴趣的东西。如果说仅凭触觉就能得到这么多的快乐，那么视觉能展现多少美好的东西啊。我想象过，如果我能被恩赐恢复视觉，哪怕只有三天，我最希望看到什么。 　　第一天，我想见见那些用善良、温柔和陪伴使我的生命变得有价值的人。我无法理解通过“心灵的窗户”——眼睛，看透一个朋友的内心是怎样的感觉。因为我只能通过我的指尖“看”到一张面孔的轮廓。我还要看书，那些别人读给我的书，那些为我揭示了人生和人类精神的深刻奥秘的书。到了下午，我要在树林中散步，让我的眼睛陶醉在大自然的美景中。这个夜晚，我将无法入睡。 　　第二天，我要去看人类发展的缤纷场景，我要去博物馆。我要通过艺术探究人类的灵魂。那些我之前通过触摸了解过的事物，我现在要亲眼看一看。而这一天的傍晚，我要在剧院或者电影院度过。 　　第三天清晨，我要再次迎接黎明，迫切地去探索更多愉悦，发现更多美好。这天我要过平凡的生活，到那些为生活忙碌的人常去的地方。 　　到了午夜，永久的黑夜将再次把我笼罩。只有当黑暗再次降临时，我才意识到，我还有那么多没有看到。 　　我，一个盲人，可以给看得见的人一个忠告：要像明天即将失明一样去使用你的眼睛。而这种方法也可以用在其他感官上：要像明天即将失聪一样，去仔细聆听音乐的旋律、鸟儿的歌唱、交响乐的震撼音符；要像明天即将失去触觉一样，去触摸你想感受的每一件物品；要像明天即将失去嗅觉和味觉一样，去细嗅花香、细品美食。但是，我敢肯定，在所有的感官中，视觉的享受一定是最令人愉悦的。

　　（2026•河南驻马店期中）At 58， Tom Cillo is living his dream of playing college football．The shouts of “Yeah， Tom!” began as he stepped onto the field at Girardi Stadium．After taking a few steps to shake off his nerves and playfully cupping his ear toward the crowd， the country’s oldest freshman player took his position on the defensive line．Across from him was Anthony D’Antonio， a freshman center decades younger．They exchanged a respectful handshake before the play began．Moments later， the whistle blew， and Cillo officially became an NCAA Division Ⅲ player， free from the burden of “What if I had tried？” 　　Cillo’s journey began during a conversation with his longtime friend Dave Bellomo．Having recently left his job with the Williamsport Recreation Department， Cillo shared his regrets about never attending college or playing football．Bellomo encouraged him， asking， “Why don’t you？” With his children grown and his wife supportive， Cillo decided it was time to act．“I wanted regret out of the picture altogether，” he said． 　　Bellomo designed a rigorous training plan for Cillo．It included full－speed hill runs where Cillo carried a 100－pound rock， along with stretching and recovery treatments．Meanwhile， Cillo applied to Lycoming College， where he intended to major in criminal justice and pay his own tuition．“I’m taking a risk academically， physically， and financially，” he admitted， “but I’m smiling through the stress．” 　　Cillo’s strength impressed his teammates， but learning the game was challenging．“Some days I’d wake up and say， ‘You’ve got to get around，’ and my body would say， ‘Slow down， brother，’” he recalled．Despite the difficulties， he pushed on through the training camp and earned his spot on the team． 　　Though playing time is limited， Cillo’s impact extends beyond the field．He offers rides， buys meals， and provides advice， endearing himself to his teammates．“Everyone just loves him，” said Mason Woodward， a fellow defensive lineman． 　　Cillo hopes his story inspires others．“I know there are people out there holding themselves back，” he said．“If you have a dream， follow through with it．” For Cillo， it’s never too late to pursue a passion． 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了58岁的汤姆•西洛克服年龄、身体等多重挑战，实现大学橄榄球梦想的故事，传递了“追逐梦想永远不嫌晚”的信念。 1.What motivated Tom Cillo to follow his dream of playing college football？（　　） A．His wish to impress his wife． B．His friend’s encouragement． C．His desire to become famous． D．His hope to make more money． 解析：B　细节理解题。根据第二段中的Bellomo encouraged him ．．．decided it was time to act．可知，朋友的鼓励是促使西洛追寻大学橄榄球梦想的关键动力。 2.What does the underlined word “rigorous” in paragraph 3 probably mean？（　　） A．Relaxing．　 B．Simple． C．Interesting．　 D．Strict． 解析：D　词义猜测题。根据第三段中的It included full－speed hill runs ．．．and recovery treatments．可知，该训练计划包含高强度、高难度的内容，因此，rigorous意为“严格的，严苛的”。 3.Which of the following words can best describe Tom Cillo？（　　） A．Regretful and nervous． B．Wealthy and generous． C．Brave and determined． D．Impatient and careless． 解析：C　推理判断题。根据第三段以及第四段内容可知，他明知重返校园要承担多重风险，却依然选择践行梦想，且在身体抗议的情况下咬牙撑过训练营，充分体现了他直面挑战的勇气和坚定的意志。 4.What message can we get from Tom Cillo’s story？（　　） A．Age is not a roadblock on the path to dreams． B．College football teams welcome older players． C．Quitting jobs is necessary for realizing dreams． D．Financial risk is unavoidable for studying again． 解析：A　推理判断题。通读全文可知，西洛58岁打破年龄限制，实现年轻时未完成的大学橄榄球梦想，最后一段也明确提到For Cillo， it’s never too late to pursue a passion，因此，从Tom Cillo的故事中我们学到年龄并非追逐梦想的障碍。 B 　　（2026•安徽淮南期中）What does it take to achieve true success？ While talent and intelligence are often celebrated， real－world examples and psychological research suggest that other factors may matter more． 　　One of the most famous examples comes from Thomas Edison．It’s reported that he failed over 1，000 times before successfully inventing the light bulb．Rather than seeing these as failures， Edison famously remarked， “I didn’t fail 1，000 times．The light bulb was an invention with 1，000 steps．” This perspective demonstrates a powerful approach to setbacks： viewing them as necessary steps toward growth rather than as defeats． 　　Similarly， J．K．Rowling’s journey to success was filled with obstacles．Before achieving worldwide fame with the Harry Potter series， she faced numerous rejections from publishers．As a single mother relying on welfare benefits， she persisted in believing in her story and continued submitting her manuscript．Her perseverance not only brought her literary success but also inspired millions of readers globally． 　　Modern psychology confirms the importance of this quality．Research shows that resilience — the ability to recover from difficulties — plays a crucial role in achieving success．Psychologist Angela Duckworth calls this quality “grit”． Her studies indicate that grit， more than intelligence or natural talent， is what predicts long－term achievement．People with grit maintain their commitment to goals despite slow progress or obstacles． 　　So how can one develop grit？ Psychologist Carol Dweck’s concept of “growth mindset” provides an answer．Individuals with a growth mindset believe their abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work．They view challenges as opportunities to improve rather than as threats to their self－esteem．This mindset enables them to persist when facing difficulties， ultimately leading to greater achievement． 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了实现真正成功所需的关键因素，指出天赋和智力虽常被赞颂，但毅力和成长型思维等因素可能更为重要。 5.How did Thomas Edison view his numerous failed attempts？（　　） A．As complete wastes of time

the fact．This is because it is also a truth that learning in the face of challenge， disappointment and frustration is as important as understanding what it takes to be successful．Learning these lessons well and surviving the tests that the lessons lie in lead to even greater moments of confidence and accomplishment． 　　Young athletes who are comfortable overcoming adversities are the ones who find the greatest growth， and ultimately greatest success．Famous strength coach Vern Gambetta and others summarized this concept in the thought that， to be great， you must “be comfortable being uncomfortable”．To put it bluntly （直言地） the best athletes welcome challenge and adversity as a requirement for growth and achievement．The best coaches create environments that challenge limits and take athletes to places they wouldn’t go to on their own， and even create adversity from time to time for this reason． 　　To sum up， one very basic but exceptionally powerful conclusion can be reached： Young athletes， when facing moments of frustration and challenge in their personal sporting development， must be encouraged to solve problems themselves， work harder to overcome disappointments， and take ownership and control of their own destinies． 　　In today’s society， unfortunately， removing any sign of potential adversity for young athletes is pervasive．Well－intentioned individuals （parents， coaches and many other related adults） frequently try to remove every barrier and challenge on the road their young athlete travels．The unfortunate product of these good intentions is only realized when the athletes finally come to a challenge that they must meet alone and then find themselves completely unprepared to deal with it and have a tough time reviving if they fail to overcome the challenge． 　　Psychologist Max Trenerry notes that the concept of willingness to accept adversity or failure is important whether for learning new skills in sports or dealing with anxiety－causing thoughts in therapy．While every parent may “rescue” their children from time to time， doing so frequently creates bigger long－term complications and prevents growth of personal perseverance． 语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了欣然接受逆境对于运动员成长的价值，分析了当前社会过度保护年轻运动员的弊端，并鼓励通过应对挫折来掌控命运。 9.Which statement will Vern Gambetta probably agree with？（　　） A．Great athletes are good at avoiding adversity． B．Good learners

reason．可知，Vern Gambetta认为伟大的运动员必须适应逆境，且教练应主动创造挑战。由此可推知，他会同意教练应给运动员带来更多挑战。 10.What does the underlined word “pervasive” mean in paragraph 4？（　　） A．Disappointing．　 B．Difficult． C．Unwelcome．　 D．Universal． 解析：D　词义猜测题。根据画线单词下文可知，家长和教练等成年人频繁地为年轻运动员清除障碍。这说明“消除潜在逆境迹象”的做法在当今社会是非常普遍、到处存在的。故画线词与 universal 意思最接近。 11.What may happen to young athletes whose every challenge is removed？（　　） A．Having much more confidence． B．Becoming well－intentioned individuals． C．Finding it hard to recover from adversity． D．Losing passion for their sports career． 解析：C　细节理解题。根据第四段中的The unfortunate product of these

lesson and I’m writing to share it with you． 　　The work for appreciation was The Starry Night painted by Van Gogh．What impressed me most were its circling blue sky， bright stars， and small village．The painting’s energy comes from its dramatic， circling sky where stars twinkle， contrasting sharply with the quiet village below．It is more a powerful expression of emotion than a landscape． 　　This work also made me realize art isn’t just about beauty — it’s a way to express deep feelings and it taught me to look at things with more enthusiasm． 　Yours， 　Li Hua 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
