Another cyclist, biking carelessly, had cut me off and sent me supermanning toward oning traffic.As if to symbolize the accident that had hit my life, another disaster also occurred on April 14th, 2010. It cost the airline industry $1.7 billion. Ten million travelers were stuck for days. Economics all over the world were disturbed. This was the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull, one of Icelands many volcanoes.However, volcanoes are not all bad. In fact, they are necessary. They are responsible for the birth of new earth, and for the creation of rich soil. This eruption gave off 0.15 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere daily. But cancelling 48% of the worlds flight travel saved about 2.8 million tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere, temporarily decreasing our carbon footprint.Similarly, the accident had badly affected my emotion but it also allowed me to look more closely inside myself and discover things about myself I would never have realized. I learned how not to judge myself for my new limitations.In 1973, another Icelandic volcano, Eldfell, broke out. Icelanders decided to bomb it with cold water until it froze and chose a different path. After their plan worked, they used the geothermal (地热的) energy for the next 15 years to heat their homes. A good example of life bringing lemons, and making lemonade!

Eventually I ended up in university for a newfound love in Earth sciences.语篇解读：作者把自己遭遇突发事件和火山爆发这种自然灾害进行类比，说明遭遇到不幸也有好处，面对现实情况要乐观积极。5What happened to the writer on April 14th, 2010?AHe was involved in a car crash.BHe was stuck in an Icelands airport.CHe witnessed a volcanic eruption.DHe was badly injured on a bike ride.解析细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“The next moment, metal. crash”和“Another cyclist, biking carelessly, had cut me off and sent me supermanning toward oning traffic”可知，一个马虎的骑自行车的人撞到了作者，作者遭遇了事故，受伤严重，故D项正确。答案D6Which was an effect of the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull?AThe economy was cost globally by the eruption.BCarbon dioxide increased temporarily.CMost of the worlds planes were held up.DThe earth in Iceland was terribly polluted.解析细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Economics all over the world were disturbed”可知，艾雅法拉火山爆发后，全世界的经济都受到了干扰，即火山的爆发使全球经济受损，故A项正确。答案A7Why did the writer mention the Eldfell volcano?AIt broke out in Iceland on April 14th as well.BIt symbolized the accident that changed his life.CIt told us to make the best of a given situation.DIt encouraged him to know more about himself.解析推理判断题。根据文章第五段中的“After their plan worked. their homes”并结合“One must move on from misfortunes, focusing only on the present moment and being hopeful for the future”可推知，我们应该充分利用特定的环境。答案C8What is the best title for the passage?AEscape from VolcanoesBInspiration from DisastersCLove for Earth SciencesDAttitude Toward Nature解析主旨大意题。本文作者通过讲述自己遭遇事故和火山爆发带来的好处及坏处，告诉人们要积极应对现实情况，所以选B项。答案B.语法填空(2017湖北武汉市高中毕业生四月调研)Sending gifts varies greatly from country to country.
