题目内容
8.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.

分析 在一次使他变得又聋又盲的可怕的电击事故后,对罗伯特爱德华兹来说,整个世界变得完全黑暗与寂静已将近十年,视力和听力的丧失使得他如此悲伤的以致于他几次都试着想结束了他的生命.他的家人,尤其是他的妻子,尽力照顾和安慰他,最终他重新获得了活下去的决心.
一个炎热的夏季的下午,他正拄着拐棍他家附近散步,这时雷雨突然下了起来.为了不被淋湿他站了在一棵大树下,但他被闪电击中了.目击者以为他死了,但20分钟后他脸朝下躺在在树根旁的泥泞的水里醒了.他颤抖得厉害,但当他睁开眼睛时,他简直不敢相信他所看到的:犁和墙壁.这时,爱德华兹夫人向他跑过来,并向他们的邻居呼救,近十年来他第一次看到并听到她的声音.
罗伯特恢复视力和听力的消息很快传开了,许多医生来给他做检查.他们大多数都说,他恢复的视力和听力来源于他从闪电中受到的冲击.然而,没有任何一个人能给出一个令人信服的答案:为什么会发生这种情况.一个医生给出了唯一合理的解释:因为罗伯特失去视力和听力是由于突如其来的打击,也许,对他来说重新获得它们的唯一途径是通过另一次突如其来的打击.
解答 答案
21选B 细节题 罗伯特企图自杀的原因:A他发生了一次可怕的交通事故.(文中没提到)B他不得不生活在黑暗与无声的世界里.C他再次被闪电击中了.(从下文得知:当他再次被闪电击中后,他竟然康复了)D在这个世界上没有人关心他.(与这一句His family,…tend and comfort him 意思相背离)另外,根据第一段中The loss of sight and…put an end to his life.(Para.1)(视力和听力的丧失使得他如此悲伤的以致于他几次都试着想结束了他的生命.),可以判断出他轻生的念头是由于丧失了视力听力.故选B.
22选A 推理题 当罗伯特被闪电击中时,他在做什么?A正在树下避雨.B正在开车.C正拄着拐棍散步.D正躺在地上.根据第二段中He stood under a large tree…struck by the lightning.(为了不被淋湿他站了在一棵大树下,但他被闪电击中了.)故选A
23选A 细节题 从文中我们可以推断出 A有关罗伯特的康复没有精确的解释.B许多医生来了是因为罗伯特伤的很严重.C罗伯特被击中后,他的妻子立刻请来了医生.D头部突然受伤使得罗伯特康复了.根据第三段的However,none of them…have happened.(然而,没有任何一个人能给出一个令人信服的答案:为什么会发生这种情况.)故选A
24选C 细节题 为整段文字选择一个最佳的标题 A可怕的电击事故(出现在第一段,描述的是第一次电击事故) B罗伯特爱德华兹与他的妻子(文中并没有重点讲) C多么突然的打击 D一次难忘的经历(往往指令人怀念的事情,本文恰恰相反)该段文字共有三段,它围绕着罗伯特由于电击导致视力与听力的丧失,以致于想轻生,强调后来第二次突然的电击竟然使他康复.故选C.
点评 有关人物故事类的阅读理解,文中很少有中心句,所以需要细心的阅读细节以捕捉文中所传递的信息.该阅读题中,21---23题都可以在文中直接找到答案,难点在24题上,需要整体阅读人物故事,进行提炼重点内容(该段文字共有三段,它围绕着罗伯特由于电击导致视力与听力的丧失,以致于想轻生,强调后来第二次突然的电击竟然使他康复)然后使用排除法,从而获取最佳答案.
