Unit 4 Natural Disasters 能力提升 一、阅读理解 1 As a photographer, I left my hotel room on Thursday excited to record Tokyo. I had just left the Tokyo Metro system, four floors under Shinjuku Station. Thousands of people stayed at train platforms (站台) and around the shops. It was around 3 p.m. I was lined up at the Bullet Train ticket counter to get some information about a trip to Nagoya tomorrow. It was then that I felt the ground move under me slightly (轻微地). I took no notice of it at first, as did everyone around me. Then, seconds later, things started falling to the ground. I looked at an elderly man next to me. He smiled back at me and said one word:“Earthquake.” I ran for the door, about 60 feet away. The ground was shaking so strongly that it was difficult to run in a straight line. My body was shaking when I reached the street. I still remembered the World Trade Center falling to the ground. I turned to look at the building that I had just run out of; it was shaking uncontrollably. You could still hear the ground shaking as thousands of people evacuated the buildings. I started to take photos of everything that was happening. I would find out later that afternoon that the quake was a magnitude (震级) of 8.9. Some people were shaken. There were a few women crying, but many others appeared calm and relaxed. Making my way back to my hotel was a long and unforgettable journey. The rail system in Tokyo was completely shut down and millions were trying to make their way home on foot. The traffic came to a standstill on the streets, but I didn’t learn how catastrophic (灾难的) the event had actually been until I got to my hotel and turned on the news. This earthquake will be forever burned in my mind as the most fearful experience of all. 1. What was the author doing when the earthquake happened? A. He was going to ask for help about his trip. B.
