• 2．"How do you account for your remarkable accomplishment in life？" Queen Victoria of the UK asked Helen Keller． "How do you explain the fact that even though you were both blind and deaf，you were able to accomplish so much？"
     Ms Keller's answer is a tribute （致敬） to her dedicated teacher． "If it had not been for Anne Sullivan，the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown．"
     According to speaker Zig Ziglar， "Little Annie" Sullivan，as she was called when she was young，was no stranger to hardship．She was almost sightless herself and was，at one time，diagnosed as hopelessly "insane" by her caregivers．She was locked in the basement of a mental institution outside of Boston．On occasion，Little Annie would violently attack anyone who came near．Most of the time she generally ignored everyone in her presence．
     An elderly nurse believed there was hope，however，and she made it her mission to show love to the child．Every day she visited Little Annie．For the most part，the child did not acknowledge the nurse's presence，but she still continued to visit．The kind woman left cookies for her and spoke words of love and encouragement．She believed Little Annie could recover，if only she were shown love．
     Eventually，doctors noticed the change in the girl．Where they once witnessed anger and hatred，they now noted a gentleness and love．They moved her upstairs where she continued to improve．Then the day finally came when this seemingly "hopeless" child was released．
     Anne Sullivan grew into a young woman with a desire to help others as she herself was helped by the kind nurse．It was she who saw the great potential in Helen Keller．She loved her，disciplined her，played with her，pushed her and worked with her until the flickering candle that was her life became a beacon of light to the world．Anne Sullivan worked wonders in Helen's life；but it was a loving nurse who first believed in Little Annie and lovingly transformed an uncommunicative child into a compassionate teacher．
     "If it had not been for Anne Sullivan，the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown．" But if it had not been for a kind and dedicated nurse，the name of Anne Sullivan would have remained unknown．
  
  （1）The dialogue between Queen Victoria and Helen Keller is mentioned mainly to

  ．
  A．show a deep admiration for Helen Keller
  B．prove that Helen Keller made a great contribution
  C．begin telling the story of Helen Keller's teacher Anne Sullivan
  D．get the reader interested in how Helen Keller achieved so much
  （2）What is the hardship mentioned in the third paragraph？

  
  A．Sullivan had a strange disease．
  B．Almost everyone ignored Sullivan．
  C．Sullivan was kept away from her parents．
  D．Sullivan was believed to have a mental problem．
  （3）What can we conclude from the article？

  
  A．Sullivan liked the nurse from the very beginning．
  B．Sullivan experienced firsthand how terrible the life of a deaf child was．
  C．The elderly nurse had no doubt that Sullivan would be a great teacher．
  D．Without the nurse，Sullivan couldn't have helped Helen Keller later．
  （4）Which of the following would be the best title for the article？

  
  A．The Power of Love
  B．Making a Difference
  C．The Secret to Being a Good Teacher
  D．Similarities Between Anne and Helen

• 3．In general，the ancient Romans were a practical people．They cared less about philosophy and pure mathematics than the Greeks did．The Romans were the best of the ancient engineers and architects．They were brilliant students of Greek geometry and trigonometry，and they applied their knowledge to the construction of fine bridges，roads，and public buildings．
     They knew about the smelting of iron ore，but they used the iron they produced mainly for spears，swords，and shields，rather than for building construction．
     While the Romans accomplished practical wonders，they did very little theoretical scientific thinking．Because of their frequent wars，many of their inventions were no more than improvements in the design of Greek weapons with which they were familiar．
     There are two reasons for the Roman neglect of philosophy and pure mathematics．First，they were apparently too busy conquering nearby nations and forming them into a rapidly growing empire to waste much time on abstract thinking．Secondly，they were handicapped by the rigidity of their numerical system． （Try to multiply XI by LVⅡ or to divide CXLⅢ by IX；it simply cannot be done with pencil and paper．） The Romans did all of their arithmetic on an abacus，the ancient counterpart of the modern computing machine．Their number system discouraged the study of pure mathematics．
  
  （1）The author calls the Romans "practical" because they

  ．
  A．didn't care about philosophy
  B．just learned from Greek geometry
  C．applied what they learned to construction
  D．thought little of theoretical scientific thinking
  （2）According to the passage，the Romans excelled in

  ．
  A．smelting iron ore
  B．engineering and architecture
  C．improving Greek weapons
  D．producing spears，swords，and shields
  （3）The underlined word "counterpart" in the last paragraph means

  ．
  A．equivalent
  B．calculator
  C．appearance
  D．partner
  （4）The passage mainly talks about

  ．
  A．why Romans ignored mathematics
  B．Romans' discouraging number system
  C．how Romans accomplished practical wonders
  D．Romans who neglected theoretical thought
