Daniel Kish was bom 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. Ifs like having a conversation with the environment.Kish feels it is exciting to ride a bike using sonar, although he needs to click twice a second, much more than he usually does. uIt 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 Fve never had an accident and hurt myself.”He is happy to be able to help more blind children to improve their life. "Wee 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. Ifs in the mind.” 19.

It can be seen all over the cityfrom its street corners to its skyscrapers(摩天大楼).“Today,“ says Whet Moser from Chicago magazine, “I went to get a haircut. When I sat down in the barber's chair, there was a Chicago flag on the box that the barber(理发币)kept all his tools in. In the mirror, there was a Chicago flag on the wall behind me. When I left, a boy passed me who had a Chicago flag on his backpack." There is even a website called ChicagoFlagT. The flag is also a symbol of Chicago pride.Like any good flag, the Chicago flag's design is simple. The white areas represent three Chicago neighborhoods. The stripes(条纹)represent the river and the lake. The stars represent important events in Chicago's history. Its simple but creative design is rated highly by flag experts and is probably also the reason it has become so popular.Roman Mars moved to Chicago in 2005, and he also fell in love with the flag. Mars is the host and creator of 99% invisiblea popular radio show about design.He's sure that the love for the flag is not just because people love Chicago. In Mars's own words, "I also think that people love Chicago more because the flag is so cool.” 23.

But have you ever thought about how the muscles in an animaPs body are different from yours? An animaPs muscles are made to do the things that are most important fbr its life.Lions are hunters. They depend on their ability to catch other animals. Lions must be fast in order to catch their prey(猎物).The powerful muscles in their back legs allow them to run at a high speed. They can also jump a distance of more than 35 feet. The strong muscles in their front legs help them catch their prey.Snakes also use their muscles for hunting prey and for movement, but their muscles work in very different ways than lions, do. Because snakes do not have any legs, they use their muscles to push against the ground or other objects to move themselves forward. Their muscles also allow them to eat things that seem much too large. For example, a snake may eat an egg that is larger than the width of its body. How does this happen? The snake's strong neck muscles work together to push the egg down the mouth.The elephant's long nose has a lot of muscles. Scientists believe that the nose alone has more than 100, 000 muscles! This is because the elephant uses its nose much in the same way that people use their hands and fingers. Even though the nose is large, it can perform surprising tasks. For example, an elephant can pick up a small leaf from the ground. The nose can also be a powerful tool. An elephant can use its nose to pick up a tree by its roots or even to lift a baby elephant.The great muscles of these animals seem pretty unbelievable. But the muscles in your body work exactly the way you need them to. After all, it might be fun to be able to jump a distance of 1 feet, but as a human being, there is just not much need for it.25. The underlined word “hunters“ in Paragraph 2 means.A. keep animals for funB. raise animals for meatC. catch animals for foodD. run after animals for exerciseAll the following are talked about in the passage EXCEPT.A. an elephant's nose is strong enough to pick up a tree by its rootsB. the strong muscles in the back legs help lions catch their preyC. snakes can't move themselves forward without their musclesD. muscles in an animaPs body are not the same as a human'sAccording to the passage, what makes the muscles in your body different from an animal's?A. The exercise.B. Your parents.C. The environment.D. Your needs.26. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?A. Humans and Animals.B. Animals' Muscles.C. Human's Muscles.D. The Muscles.【参考答案】CBDB第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)下面文章中有五处(第31-35题)需要添加首句。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F) 中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。Your body is special一no two people in the world are alike. Although you are different from everyone else, you have exactly the same body parts as the people around you, doing different jobs that keep all of us alive.31 .Your head houses the most valuable part of your body-your brain. As you are reading, your eyes send pictures to your brain which makes meaning from what you see. Your brain helps you to remember and think, and makes sure your body is doing what it should.32 .Your skin covers your body. In most parts of your body, the skin is just as thick as half a centimeter. If you have your skin cut, it will have a quick cure and stop viruses from getting into your body. Your skin also helps you feel the heat and coldness of the environment around you. Hair grows from inside the skin. When you feel hot, extra heat comes out through your skin. As a result, your body temperature drops.How do I move? Muscles(川L 肉)are found in most parts of your body. They work with your bones to help you movewhenever you cry or smile, eat or speak, walk or dance, etc.33 .Your body needs to take in oxygen from the air and give out the unwanted carbon dioxide in the body. When you breathe, air comes through your nose and mouth into your lungs(肺)where oxygen flows to different parts of your body.34 .When dust or a strong smell gets into your nose, you sneeze. This is the way your body cleans up the dust in your nose. Your lungs push out the air and try to clear your nose.35 .Your heart is a very special muscle. It is slightly bigger than your fist and grows bigger as you do. If you place your hand on your heart, you will feel your heart beating which forces blood to move around your body.A. How do muscles move?B. What does my heart do?C. Why do I breathe?D. What is my skin(皮肤)for?E. What makes me sneeze(打喷嚏)?F. What is inside my head?【参考答案】FDC EBHI.英语知识运用。(共两节,满分25分)第一节 完形填空(共15小题,每小题1分,满分15分)At the age of twenty, Susan was found with terrible cancer. Worse still, her family couldn't 36. the medical cost.
