1-5 CABDB     6-10 ABDAB         11-15 ADABC

解析1.考查词义辨析。作者不慎从一个箱子上跌落，头着地导致眼睛失明。作者还模糊记得阳光和红色。故选C。
2.此处表示转折。能再看见事物固然很好，但是一个灾难也会给人带来好处。故选A。
3.根据下一句“现在我信任生活了。”可知，作者以前对生活有些失望。故选B。
4.考查副词。作者现在深信“生活”，但并不认为他放弃自己的双眼。Deeply“深深地”。故选D。
5.A、C表示否定，与句意不符；D“一直”，作者是从出事后说起的。just“仅仅，只是”；故选B。
6.上一句提到，作者并非放弃双眼，这里用代词them代指“my eyes”。故选A。
7.宾语从句作介词of的宾语，宾语从句缺少宾语，故用what，此处指代“拥有的东西”。故选B。
8.根据下一句的“changeable”可知，此处说的是“改变”。“生活一直让我们对现实做出改变。”故选D。
9.如果一个人能做好准备接受生活中出现的变化，他的生活将会变得更有意义。故选A。
10.作者双目失明，但作者认为自己是幸运的。故选B。
11.作者的父母和老师从作者身上发现了某种东西--生命的潜力。something“某物”；故选A。
12.固定搭配。learn a lesson from ...“从......中得到教训”。故选D。
13.这里指作者余下的一生。the rest of...“余下的......”。故选A。
14.作者这里指的自信，并非是相信自己能单独下楼的信念。lonely“孤独的”；alone“单独的”。下面也有出现alone。故选B。
15.作者认为“在社会的某个角落，总会用自己的用武之地。”故选C。
