B 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.24.The reason for Roberts attempts to kill himself was that _.A.he had to live in a dark and silent worldB.a terrible traffic accident happened to himC.he was struck by the lightning once moreD.nobody in the world cared about him25.What was Robert doing when he was struck by the lightning?A.Lying on the ground.B.Driving a car.C.Taking a walk with a stick.D.Sheltering from the rain under a tree.26.We can learn from the text that _.A.Roberts wife sent for doctors immediately after the shockB.many doctors came because Robert was badly injuredC.a sudden injury in the head led to Roberts recoveryD.there was no correct explanation for Roberts recovery27.Whats the best title of the whole passage?A.What a Sudden ShockB.Robert Edwards and His WifeC.An Unforgettable ExperienceD.A Terrible Electrical Accident CAverage humans can consume 15 or more drinks in plastic bottles a month. If you were born after 1998, and live until 80 years old, you will leave behind a minimum of 14, 4000 plastic bottles on this planet. These bottles take hundreds of years to break down into tiny pieces of plastic, never to completely disappear. Most of the waste is consumed by fish and birds, which has shortened their lifespans greatly.The Plastic Bottle Village is just a great idea that might finally save us from being buried in plastic. It5s a community in Panama that is going to be made of used bottles. The design process begins with building steel frames, which are then filled with these bottles. Once this step is complete, and electrical and plumping lines are put inside, the plastic walls are covered with concrete (混凝土)both inside and outside. So no one will actually be able to tell that the walls are made of plastic. Besides, the material will keep the house 17 cooler than the outside, which is the biggest benefit to people living inside.The village is the idea of Robert Bezeau with the intention of setting up several environmental projects. Having started a recycling program four years ago, during which a number of plastic bottles were collected, he started to think of how they could be put to use. Soon enough, he decided to use them to build houses, and came up with a basic idea for the construction process.The project hopes to make people conscious of the waste that these bottles create so that they can do more to protect the environment. The village will also create an education center that will teach individuals from the world how to reuse plastic bottles as construction materials for shelter. Recycled bottles could neutralize(使无效) the negative effect of your passage on this planet, and move closer to leaving only your “footprints”.28.What do the figures（数字） in the first paragraph show?A. The reason for buying fewer drinks. B. The seriousness of plastic pollution.C. The amount of plastic waste. D. The difficult situation of wildlife.29.Why are the homes in the village special?A. Theyre green buildings. B. Theyre 17 warmer inside.C. They stop plastic pollution. D. Theyre entirely made of plastic bottles.30.What can we know from the passage?A. Plastic bottles are difficult to break down so that they are liked by fish and birds.B. Robert Bezeau is leader of a community in, Panama responsible for the project.C. The project of the Plastic Bottle Village can raise peopled environmental awareness.D. Individuals can learn how to produce plastic bottles without polluting the environment.31.What would be the best title for the passage?A. An Eco-Friendly Plastic Bottle Village B. The Negative Effects of Plastic BottlesC. How to Collect Deserted Plastic Bottles D. How to Popularize the Use of Plastic BottlesD“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” But now scientists have given us another warning: too much play with smart phones or computers makes you dull too.“Many focus on the benefits of digital devices(设备) in education but ignore the costs,” said Patricia Greenfield from the University of California, “losing the ability to understand the emotions of other people is one of the costs.”Greenfield and her research team did an experiment. They worked with 105 children who spend about 4.5 hours in front of screens on a school day. The students were asked to describe the emotions towards the pictures and videos of people who were happy, sad, angry or scared.Then, half of them attended a five-day nature and science camp. There they had no smart phones, TV, or computers. The other half stayed in school and spent the five days as usual.Five days later, all the children took the test again.Students who had been to the camp got about 5 percent more answers correct than they had done before the camp. But the other group of students didnt show much improvement.The study is not perfect in some sense, said the researchers. But scientists say that the study is still a warning for us.“Emotional skills develop in practice and the brain develops through real interaction.” said Professor Taylor, a professor at the University of San Francisco.Researchers talked to 2,000 parents of children aged 2-16 in the UK about what activities their children could do confidently.The results were surprising: Their children could use a tablet (平板电脑) (59%) and work a mobile phone (57%) more confidently than they could tie their shoe laces(鞋带) (53%)!So, spend more time away from mobile phones and computers if you want to be an understanding friend, and dont be a member of what the Daily Mail called “Generation Helpless”.32.According to Professor Greenfield, using digital media in education leads to _.A.being in bad terms with family membersB.making more mistakes when taking examsC.failing to relate to other peoples emotionsD.falling far behind others in all schoolwork33.Scientists think the results of Greenfields experiment _.A.are far from perfectB.are quite surprisingC.need to be improvedD.are alarming（令人担忧的） for people34.What can we know from the text?A.Students learned how to describe emotions in the experiment.B.Students living without screens did much better in studies.C.Most of the UK children couldnt tie their shoe laces.D.Too much play with digital devices raised some worries.35.What is the best title for the text?A.Screens harm emotionsB.Here comes a digital world!C.Stay away from the InternetD.How people become addicted?第二节 七选五（每小题两分，满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 36_You probably think you will never be a top student.
