Ⅰ.阅读七选五
Hurricanes are too frightening for kids, so learning about how to prepare is quite important. The following are some hurricane preparedness tips for helping protect your children from sufferings during and after disasters.
__1__ Explain to your children what could happen in the event of a hurricane, using simple, age-appropriate words. Make an emergency plan for the whole family with an evacuation plan and meeting location.
Practice evacuation. __2__ Be sure to run through different plans — at home, at school and at other places you often visit. When planning your evacuation route, remember that bridges may be washed away and low-lying areas may be flooded.
If not evacuated, stay indoors. If you aren't advised to evacuate, or are unable to do so safely, stay indoors away from windows, skylights and doors. Continue to pay attention to weather reports and don't go outside until the storm has passed. __3__
It is important to have your routines and keep them. Children experience comfort from habits and routines, like a story before bedtime or a family meal each evening. __4__
Watch your children for changes in behavior, sleeping patterns, or eating habits. Children may be afraid or anxious for a while after the hurricane. __5__ However, if they continue, you should seek professional help.

B.Talk to your children about hurricanes.
C.It is important to keep these routines in any case.

语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍对于孩子来说如何防范飓风。
1.选B 空处是本段的主旨句。空后提到可以用简单的、适龄的语言向孩子解释万一飓风来临的话会发生什么,故可推知空处应是建议和孩子谈论飓风,故B项符合语境。
2.选E 通读本段可知,本段主要介绍了要进行疏散练习,故E选项“一旦你制订了疏散计划,就该开始练习了”符合语境。
3.选G 上文提到在暴风雨过去之前不要出门,空处为本段最后一句,应承接上文说明不要出门的原因
