coloursbafter 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 sawa 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 sudden shock，perhaps，the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.61the reason for roberts attempts to kill himself was that_.aa terrible traffic accident happened to himbhe had to live in a dark and silent worldche was struck by the lightning once morednobody in the world cared about him62what was robert doing when he was struck by the lightning?asheltering for

wifes shouting for help when he woke up.dthe familys love helped robert regain confidence to live.65we can infer from the text that_.athere was no accurate explanation for roberts recoverybmany doctors came because robert was badly injuredcroberts wife sent for doctors immediately after the shockda sudden injury in the head led to roberts recoverycsome weightloss camps, which are rare in china just a few years ago，have multiplied in beijing, qingdao, shenzhen，and other cities. today about 15 percent of adults, or 200 million chinese, are reportedly overweight.of these, 90 millionabout 7 percentare obese(极肥胖的)experts say the obesity epidemic(流行病) is spreading to children, though more slowly than in adults. the obesity, they say, will do harm to the health of china s citizens and economy.“were seeing a very large number of teenagers who are quite heavy and arent moving much，” said barry popkin, a nutrition(营养) professor. popkin carries out an ongoing healthandnutrition survey of 16,000 households in china. he says more kids today are overeating and putting on weight “quite quickly.” in just ten years chinas childhood obesity rate has doubled，with the greatest gains coming in urban areas.“in big cities its a big problem.”some experts blame the extra fat on a range of factors, many of them tied to china s rapidly changing economy and culture. the diets of chinese adults and children are far higher in meats, fish, eggs, dairy products, fats and sugars than ever before. in addition，kidsespecially city dwellersare more sedentary today and spend more time indoors in front of homework, television，computer games, and the internet.shuwen ng，a health economist, says that kids in china now have pocket money, and they spend a portion of it on junk food. ng adds that advertising and peer groups influence kids food choices. certain foods, such as new candies or fast food, have attractive features.china s childhood obesity rate still fall behind that of the united states, where some 15 percent of kids are said to be obese. but the longterm effects are equally serious.66according to the passage we know_.aweightloss camps have been very popular in china six years agobabout 290 million chinese are overweight in china in allcin china childhood obesity rate in rural areas is lower than that in major citiesdamerica s childhood obesity rate is lower than chinas67which of the following reasons of chinas childhood obesity is not mentioned?aadvertising on some new candies. bignorance of weight-control.cplaying computer games for long time. dhaving pocket money.68the underlined word “sedentary” in the third paragraph probably means_.aconfident bpatient cenergetic dinactive69according to the passage we can infer_.aobesity explosion in china will affect the united statesbthere are great difference in kids food choices nowcjunk food leads to childhood obesitydcity children eat more than rural children70whats the best title for the passage?achinese childhood obesity problembweightloss camps in chinacobesity problems influence on chinese economydobesity problem in china and americadwhat will people die of 100 years from now? if you think that is a simple question, you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in biotechnology. with the help of new medicine, the human body will last a very long time. death will come mainly from accidents, murder and war. todays leading killers, such as heart disease, cancer, and aging itself, will become distant memories.in discussion of technological changes, the internet gets most of the attention these days. but the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. how long can humans live? human brains were known to decide the final death. cells are the basic units of all living things, and until recently, scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells, such as those of brain cells, would not last forever. but the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. sometime between 2050 and 2100, medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so, people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs. the medicine, made up of the basic building materials of life, will build new brain cells, heart cells, and so onin much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.it is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence, but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.71according to the passage, human death is now mainly caused by _.adiseases and aging baccidents and warcaccidents and aging dheart disease and war72in the authors opinion, todays most important advance in technology lies in _.amedicine bthe internet cbrain cells dhuman organ73humans may live longer in the future because _.aheart disease will be far away from usbhuman brains can decide the final deathcthe basic materials of cells will last foreverdhuman organs can be repaired by new medicine74how long can humans live in the future according to the passage?aover 100 years. bmore than 120 years.cabout 150 years. dthe passage doesnt tell us.75we can learn from the passage that _.acells arent the basic units of all living things any morebhumans have to take medicine to build new skin cells nowcmuch needs to be done before humans can have a longer lifedwe have already solved the technical problems in building new
