Question

Michelle is blind, but she makes such good use of her other senses that guests rarely realize that she is blind.

When my daughter Kayla came back from her home, she was very  1   about her day. She told me that she had baked cookies, played games and done art projects. But she was especially excited about her finger-painting project. “I learned how to   2   colors today! Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green! Michelle   3  with us too. She said she liked how the paint feels through her fingers,” said Kayla.

Something about my child’s excitement caught my   4  . this made me sit down and take a look at my child and at myself.

Then Kayla said, “Michelle told me my picture showed joy,   5   and a sense of accomplishment. She   6  saw what I was doing!” Kayla said she had never felt how good finger-painting felt until Michelle showed her how to paint without looking at her paper.

This is when I realized Kayla didn’t know that Michelle was blind. It had just never   7   in conversation. When I told her, she was quiet for a moment. At first, she didn’t   8   me. “ But mommy, Michelle understood exactly what was in my picture!” Kayla insisted. I knew my child was   9  because Michelle had listened to Kayla when she  10   her artwork. Michelle had listened to Kayla’s pride in her work, and her wonder at her discovery of the way colors blend.

解析:

    本文讲述的是一个名叫Michelle的盲人妇女利用自己的细心和耐心，在和人们，尤其是孩子的相处中和正常人无异，告诉我们，只要用心，没有什么我们克服不了的。

【小题1】考查形容词词意辨析和语境的理解。后文出现的内容，都是表示excited，所以可以据此推出答案。

【小题2】考查动词词意辨析和语境的理解。由Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green!知道这里表示混合。

【小题3】考查动词词意辨析和语境的理解。根据文章前面内容She told me they had baked cookies, played games and done art projects以及该句后面的too可知Michelle和Kayla共同画画。

【小题4】考查名词词意辨析和语境的理解。catch one’s attention“吸引注意力”，孩子如此的兴奋吸引了我的注意力。。

【小题5】考查名词词意辨析和语境的理解。后文Michelle had also heard Kayla’s pride in her work中pride以及joy, a sense of accomplishment为判断依据。

【小题6】考查副词词意辨析和语境的理解。前文Michelle told me my picture showed joy, pride and a sense of accomplishment可以看出Michelle了解Kayla的作品。但是saw和后文的without looking at her paper是相反的，所以Kayla感觉Michelle真地能看到。

【小题7】考查动词词组辨析和语境的理解。come around恢复知觉,回来；come across偶遇；come through经历, 脱险；come up走近, 上来, 发芽,。由本句中的never 和in conversation说明从未讨论过此事，所以用动词come up。

【小题8】考查动词词意辨析和语境的理解。由下文知道Kayla不相信母亲的话。

【小题9】考查形容词词意辨析和语境的理解。对于孩子提出问题，母亲也有同感。

【小题10】考查动词词意辨析和语境的理解。前文She makes such good use of her other senses。后文的listened to和heard即是senses的内容。倾听是动作的过程，所以是倾听描述的内容
