Sadly when he was a little boy, he had an accident. By the time he was four years old, he was completely blind. However, at the age of ten, Louis was lucky enough to go to one of the first schools for blind children in Paris. At this particular school they had special books. They were written in ordinary French but the letters raised up off the page, so that the students could feel the shape of the words and read them. But there were two problems with this system. First, the letters were huge and difficult to read. Second, the books were very expensive so the school library only had fourteen altogether. Louis, who was very clever and creative, thought of a better way to improve books for blind people to read.In 1821, when Louis was twelve years old, a soldier came to his school. This man had invented a system for soldiers to send and receive messages in the dark. Although this idea had not worked very well, Louis became very excited and began experiments with it. By the time he was fifteen, he had invented a system which used only six dots. And by 1827 the first book using his system was published.It still took a long time before people realized what a wonderful invention Brailles system was. In fact, Louis died in 1852 and did not live to see the success of his system, which has been adapted to almost every language in the world. Thanks to him, blind or weak-sighted people are able to read or write as well as any sighted person.24. What did books for the blind look like when Louis was a boy?A. No books designed for the blind.B. Books with raised dots on each page.C. Books with letters raised up off each page.D. The same books as those for the able-bodied.25. What led Louis to invent a reading system for the blind?A. The letters were huge and difficult to read.B. Books designed for the blind were too costly.C. The number of books for the blind was very small.D. A messaging system for soldiers to use in the dark.26. When did Louis eventually perfect the reading system?A. In 1821B. In 1824C. In 1827D. In 185227. According to the last paragraph, what significance does Louis Brailles reading system have?A. It helps make the blind independent to learn.B. It is easy and convenient for the blind to live.C. It has been adapted to every language in the world.D. It contributes to producing more books for the blind.【答案】24. C 25. D 26. B 27. A【解析】【分析】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了盲文阅读系统的发明者出生于法国的Louis Braille的生平，和他发明盲文阅读系统的经过。【24题详解】细节理解题。根据文中第一段“They were written in ordinary French but the letters raised up off the page, so that the students could feel the shape of the words and read them.”（这些单词是用普通的法语写的，但是字母在纸上凸起，这样学生就能感觉到单词的形状并阅读它们。）可知，当Louis小时候的书是每页上都有凸起的字母的书。故选C项。【25题详解】细节理解题。根据文中第二段“This man had invented a system for soldiers to send and receive messages in the dark. Although this idea had not worked very well, Louis became very excited and began experiments with it.”（这个人发明了一种让士兵在黑暗中收发信息的系统。尽管这个想法并没有很好地发挥作用，Louis还是变得非常兴奋，开始试验它。）可知，是一种供士兵在黑暗中使用的信息系统，让Louis发明了盲人阅读系统。故选D项。【26题详解】细节理解题。根据文中第一段“Louis Braille was born in France in 1809.”（Louis Braille于1809年出生于法国）最后一段“By the time he was fifteen, he had invented a system which used only six dots.”（15岁的时候，他发明了一个只用6个点的系统。）可知，Louis十五岁完善盲文阅读系统，此时是1824年，故选B项。【27题详解】推理判断题
