I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box and landing on my head. Now I am thirty-two. I can vaguely(模糊地) 　1　 the brightness of sunshine and what color red is. It would be wonderful to see things again, 　2　 a disaster can do strange things to people. It happened to me the other day that I might not have come to love 　3　 as I do if I hadn’t been blind. I believe in life now. I am not sure that I would believe in it so 　4　. I don’t mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I 　5　 mean that the loss of 　6　 made me enjoy more of 　7　 I have now.

The hardest 　12　 I had to learn was to believe in myself. That was what I had to do at least. If I hadn’t been able to do that, I would become a chair rocker for the 　13　 of my life.

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

解析1.考查詞義辨析。作者不慎從一個箱子上跌落，頭著地導致眼睛失明。作者還模糊記得陽光和紅色。故選C。
2.此處表示轉折。能再看見事物固然很好，但是一個災難也會給人帶來好處。故選A。
3.根據下一句“現在我信任生活了。”可知，作者以前對生活有些失望。故選B。
4.考查副詞。作者現在深信“生活”，但并不認為他放棄自己的雙眼。Deeply“深深地”。故選D。
5.A、C表示否定，與句意不符；D“一直”，作者是從出事后說起的。just“僅僅，只是”；故選B。
6.上一句提到，作者并非放棄雙眼，這里用代詞them代指“my eyes”。故選A。
7.賓語從句作介詞of的賓語，賓語從句缺少賓語，故用what，此處指代“擁有的東西”。故選B。
8.根據下一句的“changeable”可知，此處說的是“改變”。“生活一直讓我們對現實做出改變。”故選D。
9.如果一個人能做好準備接受生活中出現的變化，他的生活將會變得更有意義。故選A。
10.作者雙目失明，但作者認為自己是幸運的。故選B。
11.作者的父母和老師從作者身上發現了某種東西--生命的潛力。something“某物”；故選A。
12.固定搭配。learn a lesson from ...“從......中得到教訓”。故選D。
13.這里指作者余下的一生。the rest of...“余下的......”。故選A。
14.作者這里指的自信，并非是相信自己能單獨下樓的信念。lonely“孤獨的”；alone“單獨的”。下面也有出現alone。故選B。
15.作者認為“在社會的某個角落，總會用自己的用武之地。”故選C。
