couldn t bear people to look at me and think I was not like them I must have been a terrible danger on the roads Coming across me wandering through the traffic motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brakes Apart from that there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work One evening I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses and as usual I ran into something I m awfully sorry I said and stepped forward only to run into it again When it happened a third time I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me So I carried on and found the bus stop which was a request stop where the bus wouldn t stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived Generally in this situation because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help I tried to guess at the sound Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away In the end I usually managed to 5 swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus Of course I heard plenty of buses pass or I thought I did But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself I let them all go by I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one Then I gave up I decided to walk on to the next stop 36 The girl refused to ask for help because she thought A she might be recognized B asking for help looked silly C she was normal and independent D being found blind was embarrassing 37 After the girl got off the bus that evening she A began to run B hit a person as

noticed by other people 39 What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus A Other vehicles also stopped there B It was unreliable for making judgments C More lorries than buses responded to the girl D It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus 40 Finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop hoping A to find people there B to find more buses there C to find the bus by herself there D to find people more helpful there 要点综述 这是一篇记叙文 表达盲人的生活观 文章记叙了作者身为盲人 而不愿 意让别人知道 还不愿意向别人求助的事情 通过作者等公共汽车的事情使她体会到了有的 6 时候还是需要别人的帮助的 36 D 细节理解题 由本文第一句 I was blind but I was ashamed
