第9练　阅读＋完形＋语法填空 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A 体裁：记叙文　话题：人物传奇　词数：296　时间：6′ 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 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. 【语篇解读】　本文为记叙文，叙述了罗伯特·爱德华兹遭电击导致失聪并失明，而一次雷击又让他重获视力和听力的传奇经历。 1The reason for Roberts attempts to kill himself was that ________． A．a terrible traffic accident happened to him B．he couldnt stand living 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　[细节理解题。由第一段第二句The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life.可知答案为B项。] 2．What was Robert doing when
