四、(2025·宿迁市沭阳期末)阅读理解。
Writing in the Darkness
Pavel Korchagin sat by the window，though he could see nothing but darkness. After losing his eyesight in the war，his hands became his eyes. “I will write a book，” he told his wife Dasha. “Words will be my weapon to keep fighting.”
He began working on The Birth of the Storm，a novel about young revolutionaries(革命分子). Writing but unable to see was painful：his pencil slipped(滑落)，and words were tangled(缠结) up. Dasha begged to help，but Pavel refused. “If I surrender to this darkness，I will lose everything，” he said.
He used a wooden board with grooves(凹槽)，threading strings(线) across it to guide his pencil. Day after day，he put paper under the strings，tracing words along the grooves. When the first six chapters were destroyed in a post office fire，Pavel calmly resharpened his pencil. “Then I'll rewrite them，” he said. “Steel only grows stronger in fire.”
After five months，he gave the full manuscript to Dasha's hands. Dasha cried as she read the sentence Pavel wrote，“Even in eternal night，the human spirit can ignite(点燃) fire.”

### 四、（2025·宿迁市沭阳期末）阅读理解。
#### 黑暗中的写作
保尔·柯察金坐在窗边，尽管他除了黑暗什么也看不见。在战争中失明后，他的双手就成了他的眼睛。“我要写一本书，”他告诉他的妻子达莎。“文字将成为我继续战斗的武器。”
他开始创作《暴风雨的诞生》，这是一部关于年轻革命者的小说。写作却看不见是痛苦的：他的铅笔滑落，文字也纠缠在一起。达莎请求帮忙，但保尔拒绝了。“如果我向这片黑暗屈服，我就会失去一切，”他说。
他用一块带有凹槽的木板，在上面穿上线来引导他的铅笔。日复一日，他把纸放在线下面，沿着凹槽描摹文字。当最初的六章在一场邮局火灾中被毁时，保尔平静地削尖了他的铅笔。“那我就重新写，”他说。“钢铁只有在烈火中才会变得更坚强。”
五个月后，他把完整的手稿交到了达莎手中。达莎读到保尔写下的这句话时哭了：“即使在永恒的黑夜中，人类的精神也能点燃火焰。”
