B

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 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 pl o u g h 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 Robert’s attempts to kill himself was that A.he had to live in a dark and silent world C.he was struck by the lightning once more

B.a terrible traffic accident happened to him D.nobody in the world cared about him

42.What was Robert doing when he was struck by the lightning? A.Taking a walk with a stick.

B.Driving a car. D.Lying on the ground.

C.Sheltering from the rain under a tree.

43.What did Robert see first when he regained his sight after the shock A.A plough and a wall.

B.His neighbors.

D.Many doctors surrounding him.

C.His wife who called for help to save him.

43.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 wife’s shouting for help when he woke up. D.The family’s love helped Robert regain confidence to live. 45.We can infer from the text that ________.

A.many doctors came because Robert was badly injured B.a sudden injury in the head led to Robert’s recovery C.Robert’s wife sent for doctors immediately after the shock D.there was no accurate explanation for Roberts recovery

C

The 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.C hr is o p he M c Glade at University College London’s 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 u n burned in order for the carbon budget not to go beyond the limit.”

It’s 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.

“We’ve 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 M c 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 generation B.slow down the climate change C.refuse to use reserves on the earth

D.keep the temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius

47.The underlined word “emissions” in Paragraph 1 refers to A.things that are sent out into the air B.products that are made from fossil fuels C.factors that cause the climate change D..changes that happen after temperature rise

48.According to what M c Glade said in Paragraph 2, all countries should A.make full use of their fossil fuels B.work together towards the 2-degree goal C.find better ways to dig out the coal D.increase the global carbon budget

49.We can infer from Paragraph 3 that great efforts have been made in A.digging out the oil in the Middle East B.getting people to rethink their fuel plans C.developing fossil fuels around the world D.developing energy-related industry worldwide

49.What is the author’s attitude towards the future of temperature control? A.Confident. B.Negative. C.Satisfied. D.Unclear

D
