河南卫辉市2017高考英语阅读理解九月学生选练（五）

阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
Buying a house for most of the people is a once in a lifetime decision, which means people decide
to do so only after coming across the ideal house. Surprisingly, eight in every 10 home buyers are
unhappy with their houses.
A survey conducted by the Beijing Consumers' Association (BCA) recently shows about 80 percent of
the 2,315 respondents in 23 residential complexes of Beijing are dissatisfied with the soaring house
prices. They think the reasonable price in Beijing should be between 3,000 yuan and 7,000 yuan per
square meter. The quality of the buildings, the surrounding environment and traffic and property
management are the other factors that play a role in people's decision to buy a house.
The BCA has suggested strict sales regulations and contracts to ease house-owners' sufferings. It
has urged the authorities to impose severe punishment on developers found violating building and
other rules and joining hands with others to bid up property prices
About 41.2 percent of the respondents have complained that their houses have defective designs,
while nearly 40 percent say the lighting and ventilation are far from satisfactory. The landscapes
in the residential areas are a source of unhappiness for 43.2 percent of the respondents, and about
one-third say they were
satisfied with the sport and entertainment facilities in their neighborhood. Property management
in the buildings, 56.5 percent of the respondents say, is way below standard compared to the high
fee charged by the complexes. A 60 percent of the consumers doubt the contents of developers'
advertisements, with only 6.3 percent being satisfied.
Experts have suggested consumers gather thorough knowledge about a developer and their work before
deciding to buy a house from it. They should check the day-light conditions and ventilation in
different weather conditions in advance, if possible.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
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.

A. a terrible traffic accident happened to him
