5.After a terrible electrical accident,which caused him to become both blind and deaf,the whole world became completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years.The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life.His family,especially his wife,did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.
One hot summer afternoon,he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once.He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet,but he was struck by the lightning.Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree.He was trembling badly,but when he opened his eyes,he could hardly believe what he saw:a plough and a wall.When Mrs.Edwards came running up to him,shouting to their neighbors to call for help,he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.
The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread,and many doctors came to examine him.Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning.However,none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened.The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that,since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock,perhaps,the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.

24.The reason for Robert's attempts to kill himself was thatC.
A.he was struck by the lightning once more
B.a terrible traffic accident happened to him
C.he had to live in a dark and silent world
D.nobody in the world cared about him
25.What was Robert doing when he was struck by the lightning?C
A.Taking a walk with a stick.B.Driving a car.
C.Sheltering from the rain under a tree.D.Lying on the ground.
26.We can infer from the text thatB.
A.Robert's wife sent for doctors immediately after the shock
B.there was no accurate explanation for Robert's recovery
C.many doctors came because Robert was badly injured
D.a sudden injury in the head led to Robert's recovery
27.What's the best title of the whole passage?C
A.A Terrible Electrical Accident B.Robert Edwards and His Wife
C.What a Sudden Shock             D.An Unforgettable Experience.

分析 文章讲述Robert因为受到电击,失明失聪,生活在黑暗寂静的世界里,他几次都想自杀,但有一次他在树下躲雨的时候,意外被闪电击中,却恢复了视力,医生也不能确定具体原因.

解答 24.C.细节理解题.根据文章的第一段的The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life.His family可知罗伯特自杀的原因是他不得不生活在黑暗和寂静的世界;故选C.
25.C.细节理解题.根据文章第二段"He stood under a large tree in order not to get himself wet.Unfortunately he was struck down by a lightning"他站在一棵大树下,为了不让自己湿的.不幸的是他被一个闪电击中;故选C.
26.B.推理判断题.根据文章最后一段"The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that,since Edwards lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock in a terrible accident,perhaps the only way for them to regain was by another sudden shock"这是我的一个医生给出的唯一合理的解释,因为爱德华兹失去了他的视力和听力的一种突然的冲击在一场可怕的车祸,或许他们恢复的唯一途径是通过另一个突如其来的打击;可知没有准确的解释;故选B.
27.C.主旨大意题.通读全文,文章主要讲了罗伯特•爱德华兹失去了他的视力和听力的一种突然的冲击在一场可怕的车祸,又通过另一个突如其来的打击被闪电击中后意外恢复了视力;故选C.

点评 本文是一个人物故事类阅读理解,题目涉及多道细节理解题,做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析,结合选项选出正确答案.推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案,切忌胡乱猜测,一定要做到有理有据.

13.Never Put off Tomorrow What You Can Do Today
Want to put off studying for the physics test?Or writing that thirty-five-page research paper on future uses of biotechnology?Sure you do?And who wouldn't?But it's still a silly idea to put off doing something until a future time.Here is why…
36.BThe task will be still the same.It won't be any more fun and you still won't want to do it.As the deadline gets closer and closer,the task seems to become larger and larger if you haven't started the work.And the stress increases.Now not only do you have to write that paper,you have to do it under great pressure.
37.FBefore you start,it seems that the task is unlikely to be accomplished.But you know what?You're probably miscalculating.Get started-maybe on a small piece-and you will discover that you have more resources and know more about the subject than you thought.Result?You won't experience nearly as much suffering as you expected to.Things are guaranteed-100 percent-to get better.
38.EIf you leave your work before the night before it's due,you give up the possibility of getting input from your professor.Professors regularly give advice-or at least a few useful tips-during office hours.Unfortunately,though,they don't usually hold office hours at midnight,so you will be out of luck when you discover the night before the midterm that you have no idea how to do the questions that will count for two-thirds of your grade.
39.CEver wonder why the professor assigns the papers two weeks before it's due?It's because he or she expects you to be thinking about the issue,or doing the research,for two weeks.No,not every waking moment,but at least some of the time.After all,the professor could just as easily have given the assignment one week before it was due if he or she expected less thinking.When you throw together a paper or a report at the last minute,your ideas are half-baked.And your professor will know it.
40.AIf you put things off at the last minute,you might find that you haven't budgeted enough minutes to finish the necessary tasks.It's the easiest thing in the world to miscalculate how long it'll take to do all the work especially when new issues arise-like illness,family problems,computer breakdowns,trouble at work,and all the other things-as you're thinking through your paper argument or preparing yourself for the coming test.If you keep delaying,you don't allow yourself time for those various life events that have an adverse (不利的) effect on your ability to complete your assignment.

A.Time can run out.
B.Tomorrow won't be better.
C.Ideas need time to develop.
D.Your professor will be impatient.
E.You blow off your chances for help.
F.You are probably overestimating (高估) the pain.
G.The problem won't be solved.

20.Forgiveness
Forgiveness is a quality that is difficult to possess.When someone has deeply hurt you,it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate.However,forgiveness is possible,and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health.People who forgive show less sadness,anger and stress and more hopefulness,according to a recent research.
(56)A Try the following steps:
Calm yourself.(57)G You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure:a beautiful scene in nature,or someone you love.
Don't wait for an apology.Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize.They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way.
(58)F Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.
Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者).Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain.Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings,learn to look for the love,beauty and kindness around you.
(59)C If you understand your offender,you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness,fear,and even love.You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view.
Don't forget to forgive yourself.(60)E But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don't do it.

A.How should you start to forgive?
B.Why should you forgive?
C.Try to see things from your offender's angle.
D.Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.
E.For some people,forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.
F.If you wait for people to apologize,you could be waiting an awfully long time.
G.To make your anger die away,try a simple stressmanagement technique.

10.I still remember-my hands and my fingers still remember-what used to lie in store for us on our return to school from the holidays.The trees in the school yard would be in full leaf again and the old leaves would be lying around like a muddy sea of leaves.
"Get that all swept up!"the headmaster would tell us."I want the whole place cleaned up,at once!"There was enough work there,to last over a week.Especially since the only tools with which we were provided were our hands,our fingers,and our nails."Now see that it's done properly,and be quick about it,"the headmaster would say to the older pupils,"or you'll have to answer for it!"
So at an order from the older boys we would all line up like peanuts about to cut and gather in crops.If the work was not going as quickly as the headmaster expected,the big boys,instead of giving us a helping hand,used to find it simpler to beat us with branches pulled from the trees.In order to avoid these blows(殴打),we used to bribe(贿赂) the older boys with the juicy cakes we used to bring for our midday meals.And if we happened to have any money on us,the coins changed hands at once.If we did not do this,if we were afraid of going home with an empty stomach or an empty purse,the blows were redoubled.They hit us so violently and with such evil enjoyment that even a deaf and dumb person would have realized that we were being whipped(抽打) not so much to make us work harder,but rather to beat us into a state of obedience(服从) in which we would be only too glad to give up our food and money.
Occasionally one of us,worn out by such calculated cruelty,would have the courage to complain to the headmaster.He would of course be very angry,but the punishment he gave the older boys was always very small-nothing compared to what they had done to us.And the fact is that however much we complained,our situation did not improve in the slightest.Perhaps we should have let our parents know what was going on,but somehow we never dreamed of doing so; I don't know whether it was loyalty or pride that kept us silent,but I can see now that we were foolish to keep quiet about it,for such beatings were completely foreign to our nature.

26.The statement"my hands and my fingers still remember"(Para.1)means thatD.
A.the author's hands were severely injured in the cleaning up

A.he was too lazy
B.there were many fallen leaves on the ground
C.the school yard was covered with mud
D.the students didn't finish their homework
28.The headmaster asked the older boys toC.
A.beat those who worked slowly
B.treat the small boys as peanuts
C.take charge of the process of the cleaning up
D.do the cleaning up all by themselves
29.According to Para.3,if the author had any money on him,he most probablyA.
A.gave it to the big boys so as to please them
B.gave it as a bribe to the headmaster
C.spent it all on his midday meal
D.spent it buying midday meals for the big boys
30.When receiving complaints,the headmaster would deal with the big boys by means ofA.

14.Twelve years ago,Rachel Miller was lost when it came to her son John.The 7-year-old was seriously disabled because of his autism(自闭症).Unable to speak,he withdrew from people at school and,worse still,from his family.
In March 2003,Miller was introduced to Jeff Hancock,a one-on-one therapist(治疗师)for people with autism.Hancock was hired to be John's companion.The two would go people-watching at the mall in Stuart,Florida,on the weekends.Hancock chatted throughout their trips,even though John couldn't talk back.
Their relationship developed when Hancock introduced John to the Special Olympics in Martin County.Whenever John was running or bing active,he was smiling.When John turned 12,Hancock introduced him to track at the Special Olympics.For the first three years,the air just observed the sport by watching practices and events.Hancock worked daily with John,showing him everything,including where to sit,stand and walk,so he would understand the flow of the events.

John ended up winning the gold medal for the 800.Sports completely changed John,and Miller said that is because of Hancock."A person with a disability can feel hopeless and isolated(孤独的),and I think that can happen to parents,too.Jeff probably saw that with us,"Miller said,thinking back to when Hancock first met their family.

15.Some unwelcome visitors from North America have been turning up in the waters off the coast of Great Britain.North American lobsters (龙虾) have been found in the North Sea (between Great Britain and Northwest Europe),far from their own habitat.The lobsters usually live along the eastern coast of Canada and the United States.It is impossible that the lobsters could have made the 5,600-kilometre journey on their own.They were probably brought to Britain and then got away from containers.Some of the lobsters that were caught had elastic bands (松紧带) holding their legs shut,like lobsters that are kept in containers in stores or restaurants.Many may have been"set free"from some ships passing through the area.Sometimes passengers order a live lobster from a tank in the dining room and then ask the waiter to throw it overboard instead of cooking it.According to official records,26 North American lobsters have been caught in waters off Great Britain since 1988.However,it is believed many more have been found but not reported.It is against the law to let North American lobsters come into British waters.If they settle down in European waters,it would be bad for the local lobsters.The two live in the same place and eat the same food.But North American lobsters are larger,stronger and more aggressive (好斗的) than European lobsters,and they produce young more quickly.As a result,they could take food and space away from the local lobsters,and from other types of shellfish that live in the same area.These lobsters may also carry diseases that could harm the local lobsters.

29.Those unwelcome lobstersD.
A.could travel 5,600 km a day on their own
B.used to live in waters off Great Britain
C.would soon disappear in British waters
D.might have escaped on the way to Britain
30.What can we learn about European lobsters?C
A.They are growing too fast to be kept under control.
B.Shellfish often take away their food and space.
C.They are easily harmed by North American lobsters.
D.People become ill easily if they eat these lobsters.
31.The author's purpose of writing the text is most likely toB.
A.discuss          
B.report          
C.advertise                  
D.introduce.
