BAfter 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 Roberts attempts to kill himself was that .A. he had to live in a dark and silent world B. a terrible traffic accident happened to himC. he was struck by the lightning once moreD. nobody in the world cared about him42. What was Robert doing when he was struck by the lightning?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 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?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 wifes shouting for help when he woke up. D. The familys love helped Robert regain confidence to live. 45. We can infer from the text that _.A. many doctors came because Robert was badly injuredB. a sudden injury in the head led to Roberts recoveryC. Roberts wife sent for doctors immediately after the shockD. there was no accurate explanation for Roberts recoveryCThe temperature is sharply rising with each passing day. People, including many experts, find it difficult to slow down the process. However, leaving coal and major fossil fuels in the ground could help to limit climate change in the future, according to a new study. That is to say, a third of oil reserves on the earth, half of gas reserves and over 80 percent of current coal reserves should not be used before the year 2050. If we are to prevent global temperatures from rising above 2 degrees Celsius in the near future, we ought to carry some measures to severely control the emissions from factories vehicles and even our daily-life cooking. However, it is a goal that seems to be impossible in our eyes.“Policy makers in different countries must realize that their attempt to completely use the fossil fuels within their countries is wholly incompatible(矛盾的) with their hope to reach the 2-degree goal,” Dr. Christophe Mc Glade at University College Londons Energy Institute said in a statement. “If they go ahead with developing their own resources,” he added, “they must be asked which reserves elsewhere should remain unburned in order for the carbon budget not to go beyond the limit.”Its not surprising to see how tapping into these unused reserves would be attractive. Energy-related industry is a big business all over the world. There are many coal reserves in China, Russia and the United States, along with over 260 thousand million barrels of oil reserves in the Middle East. Not to mention that oil is currently being developed in the Arctic. Companies spent over $670 billion last year in the expansion of fossil fuels, but according to the new model used in this latest study, developers may need to rethink their plans to develop these underground resources so as to make some contributions to control the world temperature from rising high in the future.“Weve now got practical figures of the quantities and locations of fossil fuels that should remain unused in trying to keep within the 2-degree temperature limit,” added Mc Glade. World leaders and policy makers should take the advice to heart, because a recent IPCC report warned that if immediate and great actions are not taken soon, climate change will cause irreversible(不可逆转的) impacts on environments worldwide, leaving the world an unsafe place for us to live in.46. According to Paragraph 1, our goal is to .A. discover more fossil fuels for the future generationB. slow down the climate changeC. refuse to use reserves on the earth D. keep the temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius47. The underlined word “emissions” in Paragraph 1 refers to .A. things that are sent out into the airB. products that are made from fossil fuelsC. factors that cause the climate changeD. changes that happen after temperature rise48. According to what Mc Glade said in Paragraph 2, all countries should .A. make full use of their fossil fuelsB. work together towards the 2-degree goalC. find better ways to dig out the coalD. increase the global carbon budget49. We can infer from Paragraph 3 that great efforts have been made in .A. digging out the oil in the Middle EastB. getting people to rethink their fuel plansC. developing fossil fuels around the worldD. developing energy-related industry worldwide50. What is the authors attitude towards the future of temperature control?A. Confident. B. Negative. C. Satisfied. D. Unclear.DIts hard to find Alice Munro in the media. Even after she won the 2013 Nobel Prize in Literature, the Canadian writer just appeared for a quick interview and then dropped out of sight. On Dec 29th, she still didnt seek the spotlight when she was named one of the five Women of the Year by the Financial Times. In Munros eyes, ordinary lives always hide larger dramas. So she records what we casually think of as the everyday actions of normal people. She often focuses on life in her hometown, a small village in Ontario which she is most familiar with. She writes about the ordinary things in the village trees in the Ontario wilderness, poor country schools and long last illnesses. Above all, she talks about girls and women who have seemingly ordinary lives but struggle against daily misfortune. She has a special talent for uncovering the extraordinary in the ordinary. These are ordinary people, ordinary stories, but she has the magic. Her precise language, depth of detail and the logic of her storytelling have made her stories inviting. Runaway, one of Munros representative works, is a good example of her writing style. One of the stories centers on the life of an ordinary woman Carla, who lives in a small Canadian town with her husband Clark. The story slowly forms a picture of Carla, trapped in a bad marriage, her unhappiness building into desperation until she decides to flee. The story of Carla is a story of the power and betrayals of love. It is about lost children and lost chances that we can all find in life. There is pain beneath the surface, like a needle in the heart. Since she published her first collection of short stories in 1968, Munro has won many awards, with the Nobel Prize being her biggest honor. On Oct 10th, 2013, the Nobel Prize committee named Munro the “master of the contemporary short story”.51. We learn from Paragraph 1 that Alice Munro .A. didnt get on well with the mediaB. was surprised at winning the Nobel PrizeC. didnt value the title of Women of the YearD. remained modest though very successful52. Many of Alice Munros works .A. center on the happy life of country womenB. are about betrayals of love and violenceC. focus on everyday life of ordinary people D. are romantic stories setting in her hometown53. What makes Alice Munros stories fascinating according to the text?A. The complicated plots. B. Her rich imagination. C. The humorous language. D. Her writing techniques. 54.
