Ⅱ.阅读理解

[2015·贵州七校联考]Having experienced a shocking electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, James Franco's world became completely dark and quiet 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 20 minutes later, lying face down in muddy water. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw: a tree and a muddy road. When Mrs. Franco 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 James 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 compelling answer as to why this should happen. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since James 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.

这是一篇新闻报道，James Franco经历了一次电击事故后，失明、失聪近十年，但是后来被闪电击中后他奇迹般地恢复了视力和听力。

1．The reason that James attempted to kill himself was that ________.

A．a terrible electrical accident happened to him

B．he had to live in a dark and silent world

C．he was struck by the lightning once more

D．nobody in the world cared about him

答案：B　考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“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，失去视力和听力导致James Franco生活在黑暗和无声的世界中，这种痛苦导致他几度要自杀，即B项正确。

2．What was James doing when he was struck by the lightning?

A．Sheltering from the rain under a tree.

B．Putting an end to his life.

C．Taking a walk with a stick.

D．Lying on the ground.

答案：A　考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning”可知，James Franco被闪电击中时，他正在树下躲雨。即A项正确。

3．What does the underlined word “compelling” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A．wrong B．convincing

C．unexplained D．true

答案：B　考查词义猜测。根据第三段中的“However, none of them could give a compelling answer as to why this should happen. The only reasonable explanation”可知，compelling和reasonable意义相近，画线词所在句的句意为：然而，关于为什么竟然会发生这样的事情，没有人能给出一个令人信服的答案。即B项正确。

4．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．A Terrible Electrical Accident

B．James Franco and His Wife

C．An Unforgettable Experience

D．What a Sudden Shock!

答案：D　考查主旨大意。本文主要讲述了James Franco被闪电袭击之后奇迹般地恢复了视力和听力的故事，故D项作文章标题最合适。

1．experience n．/vt. 经历；体验　　2.tend vt. 照顾；趋向

3．witness n．/vt. 目击者；目睹

4．reasonable adj. 合情合理的

5．sudden adj. 突然的；意外的

1．put an end to 结束…… 2.do one's best 尽力

3．as a result of 因为……的结果

原文：One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. (be doing...when)

译文：在一个炎热的夏季的下午，他正拿着一枝拐杖在家附近散步，突然一阵雷暴开始。

[2015·山东日照校际联测]“Friendly doctors are bad for their patients' health，” researchers have warned as a new study revealed two thirds of young doctors struggle to be truthful with patients they like.

Blurring (使……变得模糊不清) the lines between social and professional relationships can affect the level of care offered and prevent patients from being honest about important side effects.

“Doctors should avoid adding patients as friends on Facebook, and they should not hug or allow patients to call them by their first names，” regulators have warned. “Those who break the boundaries will face some punishment.”

It comes as a survey of 338 oncologists (肿瘤学家) under the age of 40, finding 59 percent said they found it difficult to tell the truth to those patients they like. Sixty percent of respondents said if doctors felt too close to their patients, it could prevent them from making objective decisions about a person's care.

Lesley Fallowfield of Brighton and Sussex Medical School said: “Oncology is a profession that can be enormously rewarding but is filled with many challenges. Young oncologists have to master the means of dealing with anxious patients who are facing a life­threatening disease, conveying the true prognosis (预断), discussing the complexity of modern treatments, and explaining the unavailability of some drugs, the side effects of treatments, and likely treatment aims.”

But she said, “Those doctors who have entered the profession in the age of ‘the Internet world’ are more likely to fall victim to blurring the professional boundaries with patients.”

She said: “The difficulty, if you hug and kiss patients, if you allow them to call you by your first name, is that quickly the relationship can become confusing as a social one rather than a professional one. Doctors become confused, ‘I really like these people, how can I bear to tell them that they're going to die？’ They find it more difficult to be objective.”

最新研究表明，医生的态度友善反而对患者的治疗不利，因此医生和患者之间需要保持适当的距离。

5．Why are friendly doctors bad for their patients' health?

A．They don't like to cheat patients.

B．They are not good at treating patients.

C．They find it not easy to be objective to the patients.

D．They seldom blur the relationship with patients.

答案：C　考查细节理解。根据文章第一段中的“two thirds of young doctors struggle to be truthful with patients they like”及最后一段中的“They find it more difficult to be objective”可知，三分之二的年轻医生很难对他们喜欢的病人讲实话，他们很难客观地对待病人，这样对患者的治疗不利，故选C项。

6．What should doctors do according to the regulators?

A．Add patients as friends on Facebook.

B．Have a close connection with patients in life.

C．Always be cold to patients.

D．Keep a proper distance to patients.

答案：D　考查细节理解。根据文章的第三段可知，医生应该避免在脸谱网上添加患者为朋友，他们也不应该拥抱病人或让病人直呼他们的名字，即医生应该和病人保持合适的距离，故选D项。

7．Which opinion will Lesley Fallowfield agree with?

A．Oncology is a rewarding profession without challenges.

B．The Internet makes it easier for young doctors to break the boundaries.

C．It's not the doctors' duty to deal with patients' anxiety.

D．Becoming friends with patients will help them recover soon.

答案：B　考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段中的“Those doctors who have entered the profession in the age of ‘the Internet world’ are more likely to fall victim to blurring the professional boundaries with patients”可推知，网络使得医生更容易模糊与病人之间的职业分界线，故选B项。

8．Young oncologists will face the following challenges except ________.

A．dealing with a lot of life­threatening diseases

B．discussing difficulties of treatments with patients

C．explaining the reasons for the lack of some medicine

D．informing patients of the possible results of the treatments

答案：A　考查细节理解。根据倒数第三段中的“Young oncologists have to master the means of dealing with anxious patients who are facing a life­threatening disease, conveying the true prognosis (预断), discussing the complexity of modern treatments, and explaining the unavailability of some drugs, the side effects of treatments, and likely treatment aims”可知，B、C、D三项表述正确；年轻的肿瘤学家需要掌握如何对待面临生命威胁的焦虑病人，A项“处理很多威胁生命的疾病”表述错误。故选A项。

1．reveal vt. 显示；透露　　2.avoid vt. 避免；躲避

3．punishment n. 处罚；惩罚

4．objective adj. 客观的

5．enormously adv. 庞大地；巨大地；非常地

1．prevent...from... 阻止……发生

2．be filled with 充满；装满

3．deal with 解决；处理；对付

原文：It comes as a survey of 338 oncologists (肿瘤学家) under the age of 40, finding 59 percent said they found it difficult to tell the truth to those patients they like. (it作形式宾语)

译文：该调查是在40岁以下的338名肿瘤学家中进行的，发现59%的被调查者说他们发现把真相告诉他们喜欢的病人很困难。

仿写：No matter where he is, he makes it_a_habit_to_go_for_a_

walk_before__breakfast.

无论他在哪里，他都把早饭前散步作为一种习惯。

How to Improve Eyesight Naturally

Eyes are important for everybody. You must take care and try everything in hand to keep them in good condition. Here are some tips to improve your eyesight naturally.

__1__

Strain is known to be a factor in many health conditions and eye strain is no exception. Try meditation, yoga or other methods of stress relief to improve your vision and overall health.

Try palming.

Sit upright in a comfortable chair. __2__ Cup your hands so that there is no pressure on your eyes. Let your fingers rest across your forehead. There should be no light entering your eyes. Palming should be done for a period of 5 to 10 minutes to start. Palming should be relaxing. It may help to do palming in a darkened room.

Avoid sugar as much as possible.

__3__ It will unpleasantly affect your eyesight, which affects the eyes by producing a larger amount of insulin (胰岛素) in the blood. Therefore you shouldn't be having much fruit juice or something that contains a lot of sugar.

Exercise your eyes.

The only exercise most eyes get is daily rubbing when we're tired or suffering from eye strain. But eye exercise is actually good for your eyes and can improve your vision. __4__ Blink as fast as you can for a few seconds, then close your eyes tightly, open and repeat. Do this exercise 3 to 4 times daily.

Eat healthy foods.

You probably hear the statement all the time that eating the right foods is necessary for good health. __5__ Foods that are high in fiber, vitamin C, D and beta­carotene as well as other vitamins and minerals can help improve your vision. Here are a few foods that can be beneficial to good vision: carrots, eggs, blueberries, spinach, kale, grapes, and fresh garlic.

A．Reduce eye strain.

B．Keep your eyes moist.

C．Sugar is your eyes' worst enemy.

D．Give your eyes a workout with the following exercise.

E．You may not be aware that your diet affects your vision, but it does.

F．Close your eyes and cover them with the palms of your hands.

G．Be sure to get plenty of sleep so that your eyes don't strain to stay open during the day.

本文讲述的是几点很自然地改善视力的方法。

1．A　根据每段的首句句式特点可知，该空为祈使句，结合下文中讲述的内容可知答案是A。

2．F　根据首句“Try palming”以及本段讲述的内容可知，答案是F。

3．C　主题句“Avoid sugar as much as possible”可知，本段内容讲述的与sugar有关，故选C。

4．D　根据“Exercise your eyes”可知该题与exercise有关，故选D。

5．E　“Eat healthy foods”为讲述的内容与饮食有关，因此答案选E。

[2015·江西上饶一模]最近你和父母针对“青少年该不该在周末与朋友外出”进行了讨论。请根据下列信息提示，以“Should Teenagers Go out with Friends on Weekends？”为题，写一篇英语短文。

　　注意：1.字数：120词左右；

2．可以适当增加细节；

3．开头已给出，不计入总词数。

Should Teenagers Go out with Friends on Weekends?

Recently I've had a discussion with my parents about whether teenagers should go out with friends on weekends.______________.

One possible version：

Should Teenagers Go out with Friends on Weekends? Ecently

_I've_had_a_discussion_with_my_parents_about_whether_teenagers_should_go_out_with_friends_on_weekends. Our opinions are divided.

My parents think that teenagers should stay at home on weekends, so they can go over their lessons and have enough time for a good sleep. They also think teenagers should help parents do some housework, such as cleaning up, cutting grass in the garden, and so on.

As far as I'm concerned, we teenagers should be allowed to hang out with our friends for fun and relaxation on weekends. When we are together, we can also share ideas with each other. What's more，we can have exercise together to stay fit.

To conclude, I hope our parents can well understand us and let us manage our free time on our own. I believe this surely will benefit our growth both physically and mentally.
