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.

分析 文章講述Robert因為受到電擊,失明失聰,生活在黑暗寂靜的世界里,他幾次都想自殺,但有一次他在樹下躲雨的時候,意外被閃電擊中,卻恢復了視力,醫(yī)生也不能確定具體原因.

解答 24.C.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章的第一段的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可知羅伯特自殺的原因是他不得不生活在黑暗和寂靜的世界;故選C.
25.C.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第二段"He stood under a large tree in order not to get himself wet.Unfortunately he was struck down by a lightning"他站在一棵大樹下,為了不讓自己濕的.不幸的是他被一個閃電擊中;故選C.
26.B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章最后一段"The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that,since Edwards lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock in a terrible accident,perhaps the only way for them to regain was by another sudden shock"這是我的一個醫(yī)生給出的唯一合理的解釋,因為愛德華茲失去了他的視力和聽力的一種突然的沖擊在一場可怕的車禍,或許他們恢復的唯一途徑是通過另一個突如其來的打擊;可知沒有準確的解釋;故選B.
27.C.主旨大意題.通讀全文,文章主要講了羅伯特•愛德華茲失去了他的視力和聽力的一種突然的沖擊在一場可怕的車禍,又通過另一個突如其來的打擊被閃電擊中后意外恢復了視力;故選C.

點評 考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
