13.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 20 minutes 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.

41.The reason for Robert's attempts to kill himself was thatA.
A.he had to live in a dark and silent world
B.a(chǎn) terrible traffic accident happened to him
C.he was struck by the lightning once more
D.nobody in the world cared about him
42.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.
43.What did Robert see first when he regained his sight after the shock?A
A.A plough and a wall.
B.His neighbors.
C.His wife who called for help to save him.
D.Many doctors surrounding him.
44.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?B
A.Robert had been deaf and blind for nearly ten years.
B.Robert hid himself under the tree for 20 minutes.
C.Robert could hear his wife's shouting for help when he woke up.
D.The family's love helped Robert regain confidence to live.
45.We can infer from the text thatD.
A.many doctors came because Robert was badly injured
B.a(chǎn) sudden injury in the head led to Robert's recovery
C.Robert's wife sent for doctors immediately after the shock
D.there was no accurate explanation for Robert's recovery.

分析 文章講述Robert因?yàn)槭艿诫姄,失明失聰,生活在黑暗寂靜的世界里,他幾次都想自殺,但有一次他在樹下躲雨的時候,意外被閃電擊中,卻恢復(fù)了視力,醫(yī)生也不能確定具體原因.

解答 41.A,細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)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.可知喪失視力和聽力讓他想結(jié)束生命,故選A.     
42.C,推理題.根據(jù)第二段的He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet,but he was struck by the lightning.可知他是在樹下躲雨的時候被擊中的,判斷選C.
43.A,細(xì)節(jié)題.由第二段中的He was trembling badly,but when he opened his eyes,he could hardly believe what he saw--a plough and a wall.可知當(dāng)他睜開眼睛,他看到的是犁和墻,可知選A.     
44.B,細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)文章第二段的Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree可知他是20分鐘后醒來,而不是躲在樹下20分鐘,因此選B.   
45.D,推理題.根據(jù)第三段的However,none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened可知對于Robert的康復(fù)沒有明確的解釋,故選D.

點(diǎn)評 解答任務(wù)型閱讀理解題,首先對原文材料迅速瀏覽,掌握全文的主旨大意.因?yàn)殚喿x理解題一般沒有標(biāo)題,所以,速讀全文,抓住中心主旨很有必要,在速讀的過程中,應(yīng)盡可能多地捕獲信息材料.其次,細(xì)讀題材,各個擊破.掌握全文的大意之后,細(xì)細(xì)閱讀每篇材料后的問題,弄清每題要求后,帶著問題,再回到原文中去尋找、捕獲有關(guān)信息.最后,要善于抓住每段的主題句,閱讀時,要有較強(qiáng)的針對性.對于捕獲到的信息,要做認(rèn)真分析,仔細(xì)推敲,理解透徹,只有這樣,針對題目要求,才能做到穩(wěn)、準(zhǔn).

Suy Senglim is now working on a book on 100bird species from among the 400species he has photographed.He hopes to publish the book in early 2018.He says he looks forward to teaching in high schools and colleges to influence a new generation of nature-lovers.

18.Hermit crabs (寄居蟹) live their lives in temporary,second-hand accommodation.As the hermit crab grows,it must find a larger shell for (61)protection(protect).If a shell is too small,the crab will not be able to move back fully into it and therefore becomes (62)aneasy target of its enemies.
Competition(63)forempty shells can be quite fierce among hermit crabs,especially if the supply is limited.Sometimes,however,the crabs form orderly"chains",waiting patiently for some (64)hours(hour)to obtain a shell of the right size.
This process begins with a single hermit crab leaving its own shell(65)to inspect(inspect) a nearby empty shell for size.If the shell is too large,the crab will return to (66)its(it) own shell and wait close to the empty shell.As new crabs arrive,they repeat the inspection process.
If the new home (67)proves(prove) unsuitable,they will return to their shells to wait in a queue.
(68)Amazingly(amaze),the crabs order themselves in this waiting chain,(69)whichmay consist of up to 20 individuals,from the largest to the smallest!When a crab claims the empty shell,all the individuals in the queue quickly exchange their shells in order,each crab (70)moving(move) up to the next-sized shell!.
