I have often though it would be a blessing(21)_________each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a
few days at some time during his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative
of sight; silence
would teach him the joys of sound.



Now and then I have tested my seeing friends to discover what they see. Recently I was visited by a very good
friend who had just returned from a long walk in the woods, and I asked her what she had o
bserved. “Nothing in
particular,” she replied. I (22)_______be suspicious if I had not been accustomed to such responses, for long ago I
became convened that (23)____seeing see little.



How
was
it
possible,
I
asked
myself,
(24)__________(walk)for
an
hour
through
the
woods
and
see
nothing
worthy of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me(25)_______mere touch. I feel the delight of
a flower, and something of the miracle of nature is revealed to me. Occasionally, if I am very fortunate, I place my
hand gently in a small tree and feel the happy tremble of a bird in full song. I am delighted to have cool waters of a
river (26)_________(rush)through my open fingers.



To me the feast of seasons is a thrilling and unending drama, the action of (27)_________streams through my
fingertips. At times my heart cries out, (28)________(thrill)to see al these things. If I can get so much pleasure by
mere touch, how much more beauty must be revealed by sight? Yet, those who, have eyes apparently, see little. The
view of color and action that fill the world(29)___________(take) for granted.



It
is
human,
perhaps,
to
appreciate
little
that
which
we
have
and
to
long
for
that
which
we
have
not,
(30)________it is a great pity that in the world of light the gift of sight is used only as mere convenience rather

III. Reading Comprehension



Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in
each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.



Why do people go to university? There is a popular notion that a college education is something to be endured
in order to become __41___to obtain certain kinds of jobs or to go to graduate school. This is not what we are
trying
to
do
at Harvard,
nor
would
we
wish
to have
many
students
here
who
took such
a(n)___42___view
of a
college career. There are several goals we aim to reach in our undergraduate program.



The
most
obvious
one
is
to
give
knowledge
—
fairly___43___knowldege
in
one
field
and
a
more
general
knowledge of a variety of other subject areas which you may choose according to your interest. But if acquiring
knowledge is a self-evident part of a college education, it is __44___the most important. Remarkably few of the
facts you learn here will remain in your___45___for many years, and some of those that do will even be proved

4
___46___by new knowledge.



__47___,
we
can
instill(
灌输
)certain
attitudes
of
mind-a
willingness
to
accept
uncertainly
and
the
lack
of
definite truths; independence of mind, and a respect for facts and for the uncomfortable conclusions which facts
sometimes lead to.



In addition to these ___48___qualities, a college education should try to lay a foundation for the creative use of
___49___time. Some of this capacity can be stimulated in the classroom
—
in courses in the humanities and the arts.
Yet, at least as much __50___will occur outside the lecture hall---on athletic fields, in music rooms, student theaters,
concert hails, and so forth.



These are some of the __51___of a liberal college education as I see them. I cannot resist concluding with a few
private thoughts about our new careers at Harvard.



To
begin
with,
I
hope
that
we
will
think__52___about
what
we
want
to
accomplish
here.
It
would
be
__53___for you to set your sights on some limited goal, such as getting good grades or merely getting into one or
another graduate school.



Second, I hope that you will give some thought to what you can do for others during your stay here. There are
many problems waiting for your help, and many people who could __14___your efforts.



My final bit of advice. Whatever else we do, let us remember not to take ourselves too seriously. However great
our
problems
may
seem,
however
urgent
our
complaints,
they
are
overshadowed(
黯然失色
)by
the
__55__of
countless other people on our planet.

The Tide Rises, the Tide Falls
By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The tide rises, the tide falls,
Along the sea
—
sands damp and brown
The traveler hastens toward the town,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.

Darkness settles on roofs and walls,
But the sea, the sea in the darkness calls;
The little waves, with their soft, white hands,
Efface the footprints in the sands,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.

The morning breaks; the steeds in their stalls
Stamp and neigh, as the hostler calls;
The day returns, but never more
Returns the traveler to the shore,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.

寓意
)of the title “The Tide Rises, the Tide Falls” indicate?




A. the change of the ocean









B. the sequence of human history
