The morning after my teacher came, she led me into her room

中One day, while I was playing with my new doll, Miss Sullivan also put my big rag doll into my lap,spelled "d-o-l-l" and tried to make me understand that applied to both. Earlier in the day we had had a tussle over the words "m-u-g" and "w-a-t-e-r." Miss Sullivan had tried to impress it upon me that "m-u-g" is mug and "w-a-t-e-r" is water,but I persisted in confounding the two. In despair, she had dropped the subject for the time, only to renew it at the first opportunity. I became impatient at her repeated attempts and, seizing the new doll, I dashed it upon the floor. I was keenly delighted when I felt the fragments of the broken doll at my feet. Neither sorrow nor regret followed my passionate outburst. I had not loved the doll. In the still, dark world in which I lived, there was no strong sentiment or tenderness.
We walked down the path to the well-house, attracted by the fragrance of the honeysuckle with which it was covered. Someone was drawing water, and my teacher placed my hand under the spout. As the cool stream gushed over one hand, she spelled into the other the word water, first slowly, then rapidly. I stood still, my whole attention fixed upon the motions of her fingers. Suddenly I felt a misty consciousness as of something forgotten a thrill of returning thought; and somehow the mystery of language was revealed to me. I knew then that "w-a-t-e-r" meant the wonderful cool,something that was flowing over my hand. That living word awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, joy, set it free! There were barriers still, it is true, but barriers that could in time be swept away.
I left the well-house, eager to learn. Everything had a name, and each name gave birth to a new thought. As we returned to the house, every object which I touched seemed to quiver with life. That was because I saw everything with the strange, new sight that had come to me. On entering the door, I remembered the doll I had broken I felt my way to the hearth and picked up the pieces. I tried vainly to put them together. Then my eyes filled with tears; for I realized what I had done, and for the first time I felt repentance and sorrow.

参考答案：D
答案解析：细节识别。题目问的是当老师拼写doll的时候，以下哪一个不是。根据第一段最
后的 “But my teacher had been with me several weeks before I understood that everything had a name”可知，老师教了她好几周，她才明白每样东西都有名称，而不是题目所讲
的，立刻就明白了。

teacher had been with me several weeks before I understood that everything had a name ” 可
知，她最初并不知道自己在拼写单词。

答案解析：论点概括。根据第三段末尾 “That living word awakened my soul, gave it light,
hope，joy, set it free”可知，water这个词让她顿悟，所拼单词指的是世界上存在的事
物，语言是有意义的。然后根据第四段“That was because I saw everything with the
strange，new sight that had come to me”可知，学会语言让她有了认识周围世界的新视
野，故选C。

答案解析：语义推理。第二段讲的是莎莉文老师试图通过让她把doll的拼写与实物联系起
来，从而形成语义三角关系：词汇形式（语音或书写形式）物体（大脑中
的）概念，而她没法理解其意图，却被一遍一遍的尝试惹恼了，将手中的玩偶摔在
地上。根据本段 “In the still, dark world in which I lived, there was no strong sentiment or
tenderness”可知，她听不见也看不见，故选A。

参考答案：D
答案解析：细节识别。第二段 “I was keenly delighted when I felt the fragments of the broken
doll at my feet”是刚刚摔了玩偶时的心理感受，第四段“Then my eyes filled with tears;
for I realized what I had done, and for the first time I felt repentance and sorrow” 表明了心

be swept away”可知，这个活生生的词唤醒了她的灵魂，赋予它光明、希望、乐趣和
自由！诚然，还存在不少障碍，但随着时间的推移，这些障碍是可以清除的。这里的

A.truth and mystery
B.childhood and maturity
C.memorization and comprehension

答案解析：比较判断。作者对于finger play （用手指拼写）一开始觉得有趣，只是模仿，直
到后来，当自来水流过手指间，老师再次给她拼写water时，她突然顿悟，手里写的词
指水。即实物“水”和单词water在大脑中建立起了概念联系。这个学习过程与视觉
和听觉都正常的人通过看词形、听读音把实体联系起来构成概念一样，都是通过语言
理解世界的。因此，选项C正确。

中，vainly是非常关键的表达，表示她尽力想把它们拼好，可是再也拼不起来了。
