【答案】8.D9.C10.A11.B

【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍被闪电击中的后果。

8.细节理解题。根据第二段“Bloodvessels（血管）explodingfromtheelectricshockandheatoftencreate

somethingcalledaLichtenbergfigureonyourskin.Thisisapatternofscars（伤疤）thatbranchesoutacrossyour

bodylikeatree.（血管因电击和高温而爆炸，通常会在你的皮肤上形成一种叫做利希滕贝格的形状。这是一种

疤痕模式，像树一样在你的身体上分支。）”可知，被闪电袭击后，皮肤上出现树枝状疤痕是很典型的情况。

故选D。

9.推理判断题。根据第五段“OnetheorythatBrogaardsaysisthatcelldeathcausedbybeingstruckbylightning

couldcauseaone-timefloodingofthebrainwithneurotransmitters（神经递质）thatarereleasedfromthedying

neurons（神经元）.Thiscausesarewiringofneurons,providingaccesstoareasofthebrainthatwerepreviously

inaccessible.（Brogaard说，一种理论是，被闪电击中导致的细胞死亡可能会导致大脑中神经递质的一次性泛

滥，这些神经递质是从垂死的神经元释放出来的。这会导致神经元的重新连接，从而进入以前无法进入的

大脑区域。）”可知，这位外科医生被闪电击中后，他未探索的大脑区域被激活了。故选C。

10.词句猜测题。根据第五段划线词This前文的内容“OnetheorythatBrogaardsaysisthatcelldeathcausedby

beingstruckbylightningcouldcauseaone-timefloodingofthebrainwithneurotransmitters（神经递质）thatare

releasedfromthedyingneurons（神经元）（Brogaard说，一种理论是，被闪电击中导致的细胞死亡可能会导致

大脑中神经递质的一次性泛滥，这些神经递质是从垂死的神经元释放出来的。）”可知，This此处是代词，指

代上文提到的aone-timefloodingofthebrainwithneurotransmitters（神经递质），即大脑神经递质的泛滥。故

选Ao

11.主旨大意题。根据第——段“Somewhereinthesky,lightningisforming.Althoughthepossibilityofgetting

struckinyourlifetimeisroughly1in12,000,ahumandoesprovideanattractivetargetforlightningbolts（闪电）.
