If with the oncoming darkness of the 3rd night you knew that the sun would never rise for you again, how would you spend those 3 precious days? What would you most want to let your gaze rest upon? I, naturally, should want most to see the things which have become dear to me through my years of darkness. You, too, would want to let your eyes rest long on the things that have become dear to you so that you could take the memory of them with you in the night that loomed (降临) before you. I should want to see the people whose kindness and gentleness and companionship have made my life worth living. First I should like to gaze long upon the face of my teacher, Mrs. Anne Sullivan Macy, who came to me when I was a child and opened the outer world to me. I should want not merely the outline of her face, so that I could cherish it in my memory, but to study that face and find in it the living evidence of the sympathetic tenderness and patience with which she accomplished the difficult task of my education. I should like to see in her eyes that strength of character which has enabled her to stand firm in the face of difficulties, and that compassion for all humanity which she has revealed to me so often. Oh, the things that I should see if I had the power of sight for just 3 days! 1. What can be inferred from the 2nd paragraph? A. the author is a deaf    B. the author is a blind person    C.

Students are also less prepared to tolerate poor quality living conditions than their predecessors, says the survey by British polling organization Mori. More than 1,000 full-time undergraduates and postgraduates from 21 universities across the UK were surveyed for the research. It shows that location is the key factor in choosing accommodation for students ----- nearly half of those interviewed said that being close to their place of study was the most important factor in their choice. Cost came second, with evidence that many parents foot the bills for their children’s rent. The survey also shows that students are no longer prepared to carry bags of washing to the nearest launderette (自动洗衣店). These newcomers expect washers and dryers to be provided with their accommodation. The study also highlights those things today’s students expect as standard ----- communal (公共的) areas to cleaned regularly, utility bills to be included, even private car parking space to be included. Separate finding from the UK’s National Union of Students published earlier this year show more than half of students in private rented accommodation are living in unsatisfactory conditions. 6. Who are the subjects of the survey? A. some oversea students in UK    B. some undergraduates and postgraduates in UK universities    C. some graduates in UK universities    D. some British students in other countries 7. What kind of accommodation is the most attractive to students according to the survey by British polling organization Mori? A. an apartment near their universities    B. a cheap house far way from their universities    C. an apartment with car parking space    D. an apartment with washing machines 8. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. the survey described in the passage is conducted by UK’s National Union of Students    B. most of the subjects are from universities in London    C. most college students pay the rent by themselves    D. students think that communal areas should be cleaned regularly by cleaners rather than themselves 9. According to the passage, the choice of accommodation is influenced by the following factors EXCEPT _____. A. convenience    B. comfort    C. low rents    D. weather 10. What does the survey indicate? A. UK university students are increasingly satisfied with their living conditions    B. UK university students are less and less energetic    C. UK university students demand higher qualities of their living conditions    D.
