6、aham Bell grew up with his fathers such strong feelings.In 1870,because of poor health,he migrated to Canada.It was not long before his success in teaching the deaf to speak brought him to the attention of a wealthy merchant in Boston who wanted Bell to help her daughter,Mabel.Finally,Mr.Bell and Ma

11、e workings of the human voice,how it is produced and used,and especially teaching the deaf how to use it,young Alexander Graham Bell grew up with his fathers such strong feelings”可知,Bell伴着父亲的这种强烈的感情长大,再根据第三段中提到的Bell教聋人说话可知,Bell的父亲应是热衷于人类的声音。故D项“对感兴趣,热衷于”与画线部分意义相近。5What does the author say about Bell
12、?AHe married a deaf woman.BHe taught the deaf to use telephones.CHe was funded by a merchant.DHe was inspired by his father to invent telephones.根据第三段中的“his success in teaching the deaf to speak brought him to the attention of a wealthy merchant in Boston who wanted Bell to help her daughter, Mabel”
13、可知,Bell在教聋人说话方面的成功使他被一名波士顿富商注意到,他想请Bell帮帮他的女儿Mabel,由此可推知,Mabel也是一名聋人。后来Bell和Mabel结婚了,因此A项“Bell娶了一名聋人”正确。6What is the Volta Bureau mentioned to show?AThe necessity to care about the deaf.BBells other discoveries.CBells passion in helping the deaf.DThe purpose of the organization.根据第四段中的“he was most p

15、t follows be about?AThe development of the Association.BExamples of Bells other inventions.CSomething about his family.DBells death and his influence.本题初看四个选项,仿佛每项的内容都可以入选,但是第四段已经简单介绍了Alexander Graham Bell Association for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing的前身和现在的作用,因此下一段不会再介绍它的发展了;第四段中提到Bell有多项发明,但他最为自豪的还
16、是帮助聋人的努力,并且建立了一个帮助聋人的组织,因此下一段也不会介绍他的其他发明;第二段和第三段已经提到了Bell的父亲和妻子了,因此下一段亦不会再介绍他的家人。本文介绍了Bell的成长环境、移居加拿大、结婚、成为美国公民和获奖等人生大事,可推知本文的写作目的是简要介绍Bell的生平和成就,因此下一段很可能会提到Bell的逝世和他的影响。.阅读七选五Why is volunteering important?When it comes to service work,it is important to realize that the actual goal should be gettin
