16.1A narrow escape from death can actually improve a person's view on life.That,at least,was one of the major findings of a study of some 200 people who come close to dying.Some had come through heart attack; some had fallen and come close to drowning or survived a terrible car wreck,yet despite the variety of circumstances,they reported strikingly similar reactions to their experiences.
Perhaps most surprisingly,many said they were less frightened of death now than they were before.Like most people,before their near-death incidents,many had thought death would be painful,the ultimate horror-but they didn't find it was.
Surviving a nearly fatal experience also gave many people a sense of invulnerability(不會(huì)受傷害)that made them feel special and even religious.Several believed they had been saved because they were to fulfill some special mission in the remainder of their lives.
Perhaps not so surprisingly,these survivors also reported an increased enthusiasm for life and a determination to enjoy life more.
A few of the survivors did report negative reactions to their experience.A dozen said they felt more vulnerable(脆弱的),and some even felt a sense of helplessness and a loss of control over their lives.Some had become phobic about activities associated with the accident; for example,several said they could no longer swim for fear of drowning.
Yet most of those interviewees said they came away with a strong sense of renewal or rebirth.In studying their reactions researchers have concluded that these people have come to understand the relationship of life and death better and more intimately than most of us,they have come to understand how life is actually defined by death.Life is given meaning by the fact that it will end someday.
 
51.From the passage,we can infer that the effects of near-death experiences on the survivors'lifeC.
A.differ due to the variety of circumstances         
B.vary greatly from person to person
C.a(chǎn)re mostly positive in terms of their view on life   
D.a(chǎn)re neither positive nor negative
52.Which effect of the near-death experience was the one that people had seldom expected?B
A.Some people became easier to get hurt.
B.Some people did not worry too much about death any more.
C.Some people paid more attention to the value of life.
D.Some people tended to be too pessimistic about death.
53.The positive effect of near-death experience was thatA.
A.some people loved life better because they realized its new meaning
B.some people felt a sense of helplessness
C.some people felt a loss of control over their lives
D.some people wanted to seek extreme happiness because they knew life was too limited
54.The word"phobic"(in paragraph 5)most probably meansD.
A.very careful B.very casual C.very curious D.very fearful
55.Which of the following can best express the idea of this passage?B
A.How to Improve a Person's View on Life.
B.The Effects of Near-Death Experience.
C.Is Death Really Horrible?
D.Near-Death Accidents and their Survivors.

分析 本文主要寫了瀕臨死亡的經(jīng)歷給人們帶來的不同影響.其中積極影響是主要的部分.

解答 51.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一句1A narrow escape from death can actually improve a person's view on life. 死里逃生,實(shí)際上可以提高一個(gè)人的生活觀.所以答案選C.
52.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)句子見文章第二段第一句many said they were less frightened of death now than they were before.,大意為:或許最令人驚異的是,許多人說與死神擦肩而過后他們?cè)僖膊幌褚郧澳菢雍ε滤劳隽耍?br />53.A 推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章最后一段most of those interviewees said they came away with a strong sense of renewal or rebirth,大部分幸存者都會(huì)有重獲新生的感受.正因?yàn)樗麄冋J(rèn)識(shí)到生命有一天會(huì)終結(jié),所以才更深理解生命的意義,更加熱愛生命.選項(xiàng)A全面闡述了這一含義,而選項(xiàng)B、C和D只是分別說明了其中一個(gè)方面.
54.D 猜測(cè)詞義題.根據(jù)例句for example,several said they could no longer swim for fear of drowning.例如,一些說他們不再能游泳怕淹死.可見有些人在這些事故之后會(huì)變得還怕了,fearful"害怕的",所以答案選D.
55.B主旨大意題. 作者首先指出與死神擦肩而過的經(jīng)歷對(duì)幸存者會(huì)產(chǎn)生重大影響,接著又具體闡述了這種經(jīng)歷的積極影響和消極影響,并指明其中積極影響是主要的部分.所以答案選B.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 閱讀理解題測(cè)試考生在閱讀基礎(chǔ)上的邏輯推理能力,要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關(guān)系,對(duì)未說明的趨勢(shì)或結(jié)局作出合理的推斷;或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點(diǎn)理論,對(duì)文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋.考生首先要仔細(xì)閱讀短文,完整了解信息,準(zhǔn)確把握作者觀點(diǎn).

3.Flying devices called drones(無人機(jī)) may be one of the most important technologies of the future.
The number of jobs for people who know how to design,build and control them is increasing.Because of this increase,several U.S.universities have started offering degrees in unmanned aircraft systems,or UAS.
One of these universities is the University of Washington in Seattle.Ward Handley is seeking a master's degree in UAS at the university.When the drone program first began,he did not think it was a good idea."Drones can be used to invade privacy(侵犯隱私)."He said.But later,Handley changed his opinion.He said,"I think there are good enough purposes for them."
The FAA (the part of the U.S.government that controls air travel and traffic) is creating new rules to control the use of drones,however.A new law requires drone owners to register(登記) their drones.People who do not register their drones could face fines of up to US$20,000.
The new rules may also present problems for students.One problem is finding a legal place to fly.
Students at Blue Mountain Community College fly inside the college gym.In Seattle,University of Washington students test their drones in a big room.
Christopher Lum,a scientist at the University of Washington,helps students explore how drones can safely share the sky with regular aircraft.Lum explained why they test drones inside a building,"We need to register our aircraft and get permission to fly outside.That process can take months."
At this time,Kansas State University is the only school with permission to offer unmanned aircraft flight classes to students outside.The FAA selected Kansas State University and 15other universities to be part of a national research group.
Lum and some of his students recently moved their research to Australia.Australia has fewer rules limiting drones.A professor at Western Washington University also took his department's drones to Canada for the same reason.

32.Degrees in UAS were created in several U.S.universities because ofB.
A.the increasing interest in the field
B.the increasing employment opportunities
C.the support from the government
D.the development of this technology
33.Why didn't Handley think the drone program was a good idea at first?A
A.Drones can be used for bad purposes.
B.The use of drones was very limited.
C.Few people can benefit from the program.
D.The university didn't attach great importance to the program.
34.According to Lum,why does he teach flight classes inside a building?C
A.It's safer for the students.
B.It's very expensive to register the aircraft.
C.It takes a very long time to get official permission.
D.He hasn't got permission from the university.
35.What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?D
A.Australia is promoting the use of drones.
B.Kansas State University is the first to offer a UAS degree.
C.Australia has fewer rules than Canada to control the use of drones.
D.The U.S.has more rules than Canada to control the use of drones.
