【分析】本题分为三个任务，需结合短文内容及上下文逻辑解题：任务一补全短文，需根据前后句的逻辑关系选择合适句子：第1空前文提到海伦生病后失明失聪，对应A选项；第2空后文提到她从不放弃，对应初始状态的C选项；第3空前文提到她写书环游世界，对应她贡献的B选项。任务二为细节选择题，需从原文中定位对应信息：第1题找出生年份，第2题找老师写的内容，第3题找她的寿命。任务三为主观题，需结合短文中海伦的品质作答，合理即可。
【解析】任务一：1. 前文说明海伦生病后失明失聪，A选项“她看不见也听不到”承接上文，符合逻辑，故选A；2. 后文提到她从不放弃，C选项“起初她什么都不懂”体现了她学习初期的状态，与后文形成转折，故选C；3. 前文提到海伦写书环游世界，B选项“她帮助了很多盲人和聋人”是她的后续贡献，符合语境，故选B。任务二：1. 原文第一句明确“Helen Keller was born in the US in 1880”，对应选项B，故选B；2. 原文提到“She wrote letters on Helen's hand”，对应选项A，故选A；3. 原文“Helen lived to be eighty-seven”，对应选项B，故选B。任务三：结合短文，海伦面对失明失聪的困难从不放弃，努力学习并帮助他人，可回答“She never gave up and she was a great woman.”（答案不唯一，符合文意即可）。
