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 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 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 41.A,细节题.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.可知丧失视力和听力让他想结束生命,故选A.     
42.C,推理题.根据第二段的He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet,but he was struck by the lightning.可知他是在树下躲雨的时候被击中的,判断选C.
43.A,细节题.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.可知当他睁开眼睛,他看到的是犁和墙,可知选A.     
44.B,细节题.根据文章第二段的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分钟后醒来,而不是躲在树下20分钟,因此选B.   
45.D,推理题.根据第三段的However,none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened可知对于Robert的康复没有明确的解释,故选D.

点评 解答任务型阅读理解题,首先对原文材料迅速浏览,掌握全文的主旨大意.因为阅读理解题一般没有标题,所以,速读全文,抓住中心主旨很有必要,在速读的过程中,应尽可能多地捕获信息材料.其次,细读题材,各个击破.掌握全文的大意之后,细细阅读每篇材料后的问题,弄清每题要求后,带着问题,再回到原文中去寻找、捕获有关信息.最后,要善于抓住每段的主题句,阅读时,要有较强的针对性.对于捕获到的信息,要做认真分析,仔细推敲,理解透彻,只有这样,针对题目要求,才能做到稳、准.

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!.
