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 fort 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.4. The reason for Roberts attempts to kill himself was that _.A. he had to live in a dark and silent worldB. a terrible traffic accident happened to himC. he was struck by the lightning once moreD. nobody in the world cared about him5.

Whats the best title of the whole passage?A. What a Sudden ShockB. Robert Edwards and His WifeC. An Unforgettable ExperienceD. A Terrible Electrical Accident【答案】4. A 5. D 6. D 7. A【解析】文章讲述Robert因为受到电击，失明失聪，生活在黑暗寂静的世界里，他几次都想自杀，但有一次他在树下躲雨的时候，意外被闪电击中，却恢复了视力和听力，医生也不能确定具体原因。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据文章的第一段的The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life可知丧失视力和听力让他想结束生命，故选A。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段的He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet，but he was struck by the lightning可知他是在树下躲雨的时候被击中的，判断选D。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段的However，none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened可知对于Robert的康复没有明确的解释，故选D。【7题详解】主旨大意题。根据全文可知，文章主要是围绕着 sudden shock 展开的。故选A。CA popular Chinese mobile game, “King of Glory,” has been criticized for promoting an inaccurate representation (展现) of ancient Chinese history.State media Guangming Daily published an article on March 28 blaming the game for “distorting history.” The article claimed that, despite using many famous names from Chinese history, King of Glory pletely misrepresented the figures true stories and status.According to the newspaper, famous poet Li Bai from the Tang Dynasty became an assassin ( 刺 客 ),while noted doctor Bian Que from the Spring and Autumn Period was cast as an expert on poison. More than 60 characters in the game were characters from history, including many from the classic novel “Romance of the Three Kingdoms.”“They (the characters in the game) not only travel through time and space to fight together, but also take on historical figures names with no connection at all to their experiences in history,” the newspaper argued, adding that this characteristic could easily confuse young players. Some 54 percent of the games players are aged between 11 and 20, the newspaper added.“King of Glory” is a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game designed by Tencent Games. It was launched in xx. In xx, the total profit of the game reached nearly 7 billion RMB, some 18 percent of the total profit for mobile gaming in China.The Guangming Daily article was met with significant support and approval. Some people pointed to online search results for the historical figures, which increasingly provide information about the characters in the game rather than the real historical figures.However, some hit back at the criticism, arguing that games are supposed to be creative, and that “King of Glory” doesnt claim to be set in any specific historical period.“I am aware that there are many young players, some even in primary school. Some might be affected by the game in certain ways, but it can do a lot of good if students bee interested in the characters and do more research to that end,” one “King of Glory” player told the Peoples Daily Online.8. What does the underlined word “distorting” in paragragh 2 mean?A. Reflecting. B. Recording.C. Twisting. D. Creating.9. Which is NOT true according to the passage?A. About half of the games players range from11 to 20 in age.B. Many young players bee interested in the historical figures through the game.C. You may get information about the assassin Li Bai in the game through a search engine.D. In xx the total profit for mobile games in China amounts to about 39 billion RMB.10. What is the authors main purpose of writing the passage?A. To explain why the game is popular.B. To convince people that the game is distorting history.C. To introduce the game to the public.D. To present that the game has bee a target for criticism.11. Whats the authors attitude towards the game?A. Doubtful. B. Objective.C. Favorable. D. Disapproving.【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道类短文阅读。该文章是对王者荣耀这款游戏的报道，很多媒体批评该游戏的历史人物信息与真实人物不符，误导了青少年的历史知识的了解。【8题详解】词义猜测题。根据文章第二段后句The article claimed that, despite using many famous names from Chinese history, King of Glory pletely misrepresented the figures true stories and status.中misrepresented提示可知，distorting意思为“歪曲”之意。故选C。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据Some people pointed to online search results for the historical figures, which increasingly provide information about the characters in the game rather than the real historical figures.和but it can do a lot of good if students bee interested in the characters and do more research to that end可知其实该款游戏提供的只是人物信息，并不是真实的历史人物，同时游戏没有让青少年对真实的历史知识感兴趣，只有学生对人物信息感兴趣做更多的研究才能对历史有所了解。B项表述有误，答案为B。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据全文作者列举各类媒体对王者荣耀的报道，以及对这款游戏的批评。故选D。【11题详解】推理判断题。文章作者列举各类媒体对王者荣耀的报道，以及对这款游戏的批评、该游戏对批评的回击和玩家对游戏看法，都是客观的报道。故选B。【点睛】阅读理解通常都会出现词义猜测题，要求考生从上下文理解中概括出生词或短语的词义。考生作此类题型时，首先要找到所猜测词所在文章的位置，然后在理解文章大意的基础之上，对此词前后句反复研读，最后根据前后句猜测出词义。例如小题1要求猜测出distorting的含义，就是根据后句中的关键词misrepresented，从而推测出distorting为“歪曲”之意。DGetting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing.However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in.A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths.By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom.So did the king of England in 1546.Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way.Henry ， King of France, was famously dirty.Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the merit of dirt was longlived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbour ever since the 18th century.Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health.Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease.Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II.Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine.Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays.Many firsttime parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease.On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家), encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system.And the latter position is gaining some ground.12. The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because _.A. they lived healthily in a dirty environmentB. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay inC. they believed disease could be spread in public bathsD. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease13. Which of the following best describes Henry s attitude to bathing？A. Afraid. B. Curious.C. Approving. D. Uninterested.14. How does the passage mainly develop？A. By providing examples.B. By making parisons.C. By following the order of time.D. By following the order of importance.15. What is the authors purpose in writing the passage？A. To stress the role of dirt.B. To introduce the history of dirt.C. To call attention to the danger of dirt.D. To present the change of views on dirt.【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. D【解析】试题分析：文章大意：本文为议论文。介绍了不同时期人们对污垢的不同理解以及持有的不同态度。过去人们认为污垢有助于保护皮肤抵御疾病，所以拒绝洗澡。而现在免疫学家声称污垢有利于加强人的免疫系统，并且有一定的依据证明此观点。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段的第一、二、三、四句可知当时的人们认为洗净污垢会使疾病侵入，而浴室更是疾病容易传播的地方，所以英法国王下令关闭公共浴室，这样可排除 A、B、D，而 C 项正确。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段的最后两句可知法国国王 Henry 因身体脏而出名，听说有位贵族洗澡后，就下令禁止这位贵族外出以防止疾病的入侵。可以推断他对洗澡的态度是恐惧的。A：恐惧；B：好奇；C：赞同；D：不感兴趣。选A【14题详解】推理判断题。通读全文，从 16 世纪早期人们认为污垢有利于抵御疾病，到 18 世纪人们从科学的角度认为洗净污垢有利身体健康，再到现今人们对污垢的态度又有所不同可以看出文章的写作是以时间为顺序的。选C【15题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章第一段的“there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt”和最后一段的第一句“Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays.”可以看出作者写这篇文章的目的是要呈现不同时期的人们对污垢的不同态度。选D考点：考查健康类短文第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Nobody wants to reach the end of their life and experience regret. Instead, we desire to experience satisfaction with the life weve been given. _16_. To live a life without regret in the future, you should try to stay away from the following four mon unhealthy habits._17_It is good to have a destination to go to but it is the journey that matters in the end. Too often, we live our lives from destination to destination. But life is not lived merely in these destinations. In fact, it is far more often lived in the pathways between them. We should appreciate the joy in the journey rather than always hurry to the next destination.Be defined by your negative circumstances. Each morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most. This is an important truth and an important promise. Our lives should not be defined by the negative circumstances that happened in our past. They may have affected our lives, but they do not write the final chapter. _18_Focus entirely on yourself. The size of our universe bees smaller considerably when we place ourselves at the center. _19_On the contrary, those who see their life as an opportunity to bring joy to others quickly find it themselves._20_Every excess (过量) adds burden to our lives. And yet we continue to pursue and accumulate more than we needmore houses, more cars, more clothes, and more dishes. Owning less means less cleaning, less burden, less anxiety, and less stress each day. It provides the space and opportunity to pursue the things in life that bring lasting satisfaction to our lives.A. Blame everybody else.B. Carry more than you need.C. It is we ourselves who hold the pen.D. Miss the joy of the journey for the destination.E. Only a fool believes the wide road is necessarily the right road.F. The fact is that too many people experience regret at the lives they chose to live.G. And the people who are most focused on themselves are the least satisfied in life.【答案】16. F 17. D 18. C 19. G 20. B【解析】文章讲述了要想生活不留遗憾应该远离四种生活方式。【16题详解】Nobody wants to reach the end of their life and experience regretInstead，we desire to experience satisfaction with the life weve been given由此可知，没有人希望到了生命结束的时候有遗憾。相反，我们渴望体验我们所给予的生活的满足感。从选项之中，可以看出，F项实事是人们在自己选择的生活中都会经历遗憾符合语境，故选F。【17题详解】It is good to have a destination to go to but it is the journey that matters in the end可知，有个目标的旅程是很好的，但这是最后的旅程，D项Miss the joy of the journey for the destination错过了有目的地的旅行的快乐，符合前后逻辑，故选D。【18题详解】They may have affected our lives，but they do not write the final chapter与C项It is we ourselves who hold the pen相对应，不难选出C。告诉我们的生命不应该被周围环境所书写，我们应该做那个执笔人。【19题详解】The size of our universe bees smaller considerably when we place ourselves at the center当人们将自己放在宇宙中心的时候，宇宙变得越来越小，与G项And the people who are most focused on themselves are the least satisfied in life人们总是专注于自己生活中的不如意，由全文内容知道这两者是递进关系，故选G。【20题详解】Every excess （过量） adds burden to our lives每一个多余的给我们的生活增加了负担与B项Carry more than you need承担过多的负担，相对应，故选B。第二部分：英语知识运用第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Erik, an athletic child, lost his vision in his early teen.
