4．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 20minutes 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 Robert's attempts to kill himself was thatC．
A．he was struck by the lightning once more
B．a terrible traffic accident happened to him
C．he had to live in a dark and silent world
D．nobody in the world cared about him
25．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．
26．We can infer from the text thatB．
A．Robert's wife sent for doctors immediately after the shock
B．there was no accurate explanation for Robert's recovery
C．many doctors came because Robert was badly injured
D．a sudden injury in the head led to Robert's recovery
27．What's the best title of the whole passage？C
A．A Terrible Electrical Accident
B．Robert Edwards and His Wife
C．What a Sudden Shock
D．An Unforgettable Experience．

1．The Nobel Prize isawarded（授予） to those who make great contributions in many fields（领域） every year．

8．As she was so afraid of being laughed at by her friends，she did notconsult（咨询） a doctor．

18．Life on earth depends on water，and there is no substitute for it．The current assumption is that our basic needs for water-whether for drinking，agriculture，industry or the raising of fish will always have to be met．Given that premise（前提），there are two basic routes we can go：more access to water or more engineering solutions （more dams，for instance）．
Looking at the engineering solution first，a lot of my research concentrates on what happens to wetlands when you build dams in river basins，particularly in Africa．The ecology of such areas is almost entirely driven by the seasonal regime of the river，or rather，the pulse of the water．And the fact is that if you build a dam，you generally spoil the downstream ecology．In the past，such problems have been hidden by a lack of information．But in the next century，governments will have no excuse for their ignorance．The engineers ability to control water flows has created new kinds of unpredictability．Dams in Africa have meant fewer fish，less grazing and less agriculture-none of which were expected．
The challenge for the next century is to find new means of controlling water．Although GM technology will allow us to breed better dry-land crops，there is no market stimulation for companies to develop crops suitable for the micro-climates of the Sahel and elsewhere in Africa．Who is going to pay for research on locally appropriate crops in the Third World？
This brings us to the key issue in any discussion of water：money．In the next century，just consider the problems of water supply in Mexico City or Delhi．If you're rich，you drink mineral water and may even have a swimming pool-yet millions in such cities can't get safe drinking water．People talk about the coming water crisis．I believe we have one now．It is a water crisis for the poor．
81．According to the passage，what are the two ways to solve the problem of water crisis？（no more than 8words）（2marks）More access to water or more engineering solutions．
82．What will happen when dams are built in river basins in Africa？（no more than 6words）（3marks）
The downstream ecology will be spoiled/destroyed．
83．Why are companies not willing to develop locally appropriate crops for Third World？（no more than 6words）（3marks）Because there is no market stimulation．
84．What is the tone of the passage？（no more than 1words）（2marks）worried/Concerned．．

5．Global warming threatens to hold back human progress，and make unachievable all UN targets to reduce poverty，according to some of the world's leading international development groups．
In a report published today，Oxfam，Greenpeace，Christian Aid，Friends of the Earth，WWF and 15other groups say rich governments must immediately address climate change to avoid even"unbearable levels"of worldwide poverty．
"Food production，water supplies，public health and people's living environment are already being damaged，"the report says．"The world must meet its promise to achieve poverty reduction and also deal with climate change．"
The report，which draws on UN predictions of the effects of climate change in poor countries over the next 50years，says poor countries will experience more flooding，declining food production，more disease and the worsening or disappearing of entire ecosystems on which many of the world's poorest people depend．
"Climate change needs to be addressed now．The poor will bear the burden of it．The frontline experience of many of us working in international development indicates that communities are having to fight against more extreme weather conditions．"
Climate change will play havoc （浩劫） with agriculture and water supplies and will increase diseases．"By 2025the proportion of the world's population living in countries of great water stress will almost double，to 6billion people．Tropical and sub-tropical areas will be hardest hit-those countries already suffering from food shortage"．
Poor countries mostly do not need high-tech solutions，but would most benefit from education，research and being shown how to farm better．The report says unchecked global warming，more than wars or political confusion，will displace millions of people and destabilize （不安定） many countries．
33．Who should play a leading role in resisting the more extreme weather conditions？B
A．International groups．
B．Rich countries．
C．Poor countries．
D．Tropical and sub-tropical countries．
34．Which of the following is not true according to the text？C
A．Poverty and climate change are closely linked．
B．More and more people will suffer from the water stress and food shortage．
C．What the poor countries need badly is high technology．
D．International communities have to take steps to resist the bad climate．
35．What is the best title of the passage？B
A．International Development Brings in Climate Change
B．Global Warming Is a Bigger Threat to the Poor
C．International Groups Work Together to Reduce Poverty
D．Worldwide Poverty Shall Be Avoided．
