问题    The morning after my teacher came, she led me into her room and gave me a doll. When I had played with it a little while, Miss Sullivan slowly spelled into my hand the word "d-o-l-l." I was at once interested in this finger play and tried to imitate it. When I finally succeeded in making the letters correctly, I was flushed with childish pleasure and pride. Running downstairs to my mother, I held up my hand and made the letters for doll. I did not know that I was spelling a word or even that words existed; I was simply making my fingers go in monkey-like imitation. But my teacher had been with me several weeks before I understood that everything had a name.
   One day, while I was playing with my new doll, Miss Sullivan also put my big rag doll into my lap, spelled "d-o-l-l" and tried to make me understand that "d-o-l-l" applied to both. Earlier in the day we had had a tussle over the words "m-u-g" and "w-a-t-e-r." Miss Sullivan had tried to impress it upon me that "m-u-g" is mug and "w-a-t-e-r" is water, but I persisted in confounding the two. In despair, she had dropped the subject for the time, only to renew it at the first opportunity. I became impatient at her repeated attempts and, seizing the new doll, I dashed it upon the floor. I was keenly delighted when I felt the fragments of the broken doll at my feet. Neither sorrow nor regret followed my passionate outburst. I had not loved the doll. In the still, dark world in which I lived, there was no strong sentiment or tenderness.
   We walked down the path to the well-house, attracted by the fragrance of the honeysuckle with which it was covered. Someone was drawing water, and my teacher placed my hand under the spout. As the cool stream gushed over one hand, she spelled into the other the word water, first slowly, then rapidly. I stood still, my whole attention fixed upon the motions of her fingers. Suddenly I felt a misty consciousness as of something forgotten — a thrill of returning thought; and somehow the mystery of language was revealed to me. I knew then that "w-a-t-e-r" meant the wonderful cool, something that was flowing over my hand. That living word awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, joy, set it free! There were barriers still, it is true, but barriers that could in time be swept away.
   I left the well-house, eager to learn. Everything had a name, and each name gave birth to a new thought. As we returned to the house, every object which I touched seemed to quiver with life. That was because I saw everything with the strange, new sight that had come to me. On entering the door, I remembered the doll I had broken. I felt my way to the hearth and picked up the pieces. I tried vainly to put them together. Then my eyes filled with tears; for I realized what I had done, and for the first time I felt repentance and sorrow. [br] Which of the following statements would the author agree with?
选项 A、Children need learning to help shape their life.
B、Learning can free a person from the barriers they encounter.
C、Without language, humans tend to feel angry and bitter.
D、People who want to overcome their flaws must be open to learning.
答案 B
解析    细节识别。根据第三段最后一句“That living word awakened my soul，gave it light，hope，joy，set it free! There were barriers still，it is true，but barriers that could in time be swept away”可知，这个活生生的词唤醒了她的灵魂，赋予它光明、希望、乐趣和自由!诚然，还存在不少障碍，但随着时间的推移，这些障碍是可以清除的。这里的“活生生的词”表示语言的学习，因此，选项B符合句意。【知识拓展】从题干分析，本题应属论点概括题，但选项B里的关键词barriers提示了原文的具体位置，类似细节识别类题型，这样，就可以根据这个关键词找到原文，再比较哪个选项与原文表述的观点最接近。本题表明：根据题干和选项的关键词快速定位原文表达是提高阅读效率的有效途径。
