Guo Bin is a 19-year-old boy from Shanxi Province. He did very well in the college entrance exam for blind students. He got 721 points and became the top student in the country. He will go to university to study computer science and Chinese medicine.

But Guo’s life was not always easy. When he was six years old, someone hurt him. After that, he could not see anymore. His parents were very sad and worried about his future.

Luckily, a teacher named Zhang Long helped him. She was a music teacher at Wuhan School for the Blind. When she first met Guo, she gave him a big hug. She asked him to join her class. Guo felt warm and happy. He sang a song to his new friends. For the first time, he did not feel lonely.

Zhang later took on the role of his class teacher. She taught him for nine years. She helped him with his studies and his life. Guo learned to read by touching braille (盲文) books. It was hard, but he kept trying.

Zhang also taught Guo to play music. Guo got up at 4:30 every morning to practise. Later, he formed a band with other blind students. Music brought him much happiness.

1.1. What happened to Guo when he was six?

A He got a terrible illness.

B He became blind.

C He had an eye disease.

D He won a music prize.

解析：选B。B细节理解题。文章第二段明确提到“When he was six years old, someone hurt him. After that, he could not see anymore.”，说明他六岁时因为受伤而失明，因此B项正确。A项的“重病”和C项的“眼疾”在文中均未出现，受伤并非疾病；D项的“赢得音乐奖”更是后文发生的事情，与该年龄段的遭遇无关。故选B。

2.2. What kind of person is Zhang Long?

A Strict and serious.

B Rich and popular.

C Talented but proud.

D Kind and helpful.

解析：选D。D推理判断题。第三段、第四段描述张老师拥抱郭斌、邀请他加入班级，并担任班主任九年，“She helped him with his studies and his life.”。由这些行为可推断她善良且乐于助人，选项D准确地概括了这一品格。文中没有任何信息能表明她严厉、富有、骄傲等，因此其余选项不符。故选D。

3.3. The underlined phrase “took on the role of” in the text means ______.

A visited

B became

C forgot

D refused

解析：选B。B词义猜测题。划线短语所在句子为“Zhang later took on the role of his class teacher.”，结合后文“She taught him for nine years. She helped him with his studies and his life.”可知，张老师从此承担起了班主任的职责，也就是“成为”了他的班主任，因此B项became最符合语境。visit（拜访）、forget（忘记）、refuse（拒绝）放入句中都无法使句意通顺。故选B。

4.4. How did music influence Guo?

A It gave him joy.

B It caused him trouble.

C It wasted his time.

D It made him lonely.

解析：选A。A观点态度题。文章倒数第二段结尾直接写道“Music brought him much happiness.”，清楚表明音乐给他带来了快乐，因此A项正确。B项的“带来麻烦”、C项的“浪费时间”和D项的“让他孤独”都与原文意思完全相反。故选A。

5.5. Which saying best fits the story?

A Effort finally pays off.

B Seeing is believing.

C Home is best.

D Practice makes perfect.

解析：选A。A主旨大意题。全文讲述郭斌失明后不放弃，在老师帮助下刻苦努力，最终在高考中取得优异成绩，并立志帮助他人，结尾句“with hope and hard work, you can always find light in life”也直接点明了“希望与努力带来光明”的主题。A项“Effort finally pays off.”（努力终有回报）最能概括这一中心思想。D项“Practice makes perfect.”只强调反复练习，不足以涵盖希望、坚持与师生互助等深层含义；B、C两项则与故事无关。故选A。
