Here are four of the world’s biggest caves. Son Doong Cave, Vietnam Son Doong Cave in the remote (偏远的) forests of Vietnam holds the title of the largest cave in the world. Son Doong is a spreading network of tunnels and caves, the largest of which could contain an entire New York City block with 40-story buildings. Parts of the cave’s top have fallen down, creating vast skylights that allow life to grow to a height of hundreds of feet beneath the forest floor. Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, the United States Mammoth Cave in Kentucky is the longest cave system in the world, with 426 miles explored and scientists guess another 600 miles have yet to be discovered based on measurements of air movement within the caves. Mammoth Cave has drawn visitors since the 1800s and 10 miles of underground passages are accessible to tourists today. Sac Actun, Mexico The longest underwater cave system in the world, Sac Actun winds (蜿蜒) more than 215 miles under Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. Adventurers can take a drop in the Sac Actun system through more than. 248 cenotes (天然井) — the natural swimming pools that form when sinkholes connect the surface to the underwater caves. Veryovkina Cave, Abkhazia, Georgia Veryovkina Cave is the deepest cave in the world, spreading 1.4 miles beneath the surface. It takes professionals a week to make a round journey to Veryovkina Cave. They have to brave waterfalls, tight presses and sharp drops. But the payoff is excellent — Veryovkina Cave’s end is a beautiful blue lake about 50 feet long and 25 feet wide surrounded by black rocks. 1. What is special about Son Doong Cave? A. It has lots of tall plants growing. B. It lies far away from the forests. C. It is the longest cave in Vietnam. D. It is the highest cave in the world. 2. What do Mammoth Cave and Sac Actun have in common? A. They attract few adventurers. B. They have long cave systems. C. They stay unexplored at present. D. They end up with beautiful lakes. 3. How long may professionals spend passing through Veryovkina Cave? A. Over two week. B. Half a week. C. One week. D. Two week. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍的是四个世界上最大的洞穴的相关信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Son Doong Cave, Vietnam中“Parts of the cave’s top have fallen down, creating vast skylights that allow life to grow to a height of hundreds of feet beneath the forest floor.(洞穴顶部的部分已经下降，形成了巨大的天窗，使生命能够生长到森林地面下数百英尺的高度。)”可知，Son Doong洞穴生长着很多高大的植物。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, the United States中“Mammoth Cave in Kentucky is the longest cave system in the world, with 426 miles explored and scientists guess another 600 miles have yet to be discovered based on measurements of air movement within the caves.(肯塔基州Mammoth Cave是世界上最长的洞穴系统，已经探索了426英里，科学家们根据洞穴内空气运动的测量推测还有600英里尚未被发现。)”以及Sac Actun, Mexico中“The longest underwater cave system in the world, Sac Actun winds (蜿蜒) more than 215 miles under Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula.(Sac Actun是世界上最长的水下洞穴系统，在墨西哥Yucatán半岛下蜿蜒超过215英里。)”可知，Mammoth Cave和Sac Actun都有着长的洞穴系统。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Veryovkina Cave, Abkhazia, Georgia中“It takes professionals a week to make a round journey to Veryovkina Cave. They have to brave waterfalls, tight presses and sharp drops.(专业人士要花一周的时间才能往返到Veryovkina洞穴。他们必须勇敢地面对瀑布、压力和陡坡。)”可知，专业人士要花半个星期才能通过Veryovkina洞穴。故选B。 B Mack Rutherford,born on June 21, 2005, has become the youngest person to fly around the world alone in a small plane after taking off on March 23, 2022. Five months later, he touched down in the Bulgaria (保加利亚),where his journey began, according to Rutherford’s website. He turned 17 years old during the trip. Rutherford’s route extended 52 countries on a specially prepared plane, according to his website. His journey was tracked on his website, which showed he set off for the Mediterranean (地中海) then through the Sahara, onwards through the Middle East and then East Asia. He broke two world records, previously held by his older sister Zara Rutherford, as the youngest person to fly around the world alone and also the youngest person to do so in such a small plane. He entered his last leg through the United States, Canada and Mexico before flying back through Europe. The teenager was just 15 years old when he received his first pilot’s license (许可证), becoming the youngest pilot in the world. “Having flown hundreds of hours with my dad, who is a professional pilot, I have known for certain I wanted to fly. I think there’s something I can actually try to struggle for and achieve,” he said. “I also want to use the opportunity to meet young people on my route who do amazing things or make a difference to their communities or even to the world,” he wrote before flying off. There were several “hairy” moments during his journey, he said, but he never gave up. His journey even took him to a deserted island in the North Pacific after strong head winds forced him to land during a flight from Japan to the United States. “I was forced to face it on my own — but that was definitely an amazing experience,” he said. 4. What do we know about Mack Rutherford? A. He started his journey at the age of 16. B. He was forced to fly around the world. C. He visited every country of five continents. D. He is the first to fly around the world alone. 5. What do the underlined words “last leg” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Losing control. B. The final period of his trip. C Injuring his leg. D. A dangerous situation. 6. Which can best describe Mack Rutherford? A. Intelligent and warm-hearted. B. Generous and hardworking. C. Determined and humorous. D. Ambitious and adventurous. 7. What is the text? A. A survey report. B. A travel guideline. C. A news report. D. A book review. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。马克·卢瑟福在他16岁时开始独自环球飞行，成为目前最年轻的独自环球飞行的人。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Five months later, he touched down in the Bulgaria (保加利亚), where his journey began, according to Rutherford’s website. He turned 17 years old during the trip. (卢瑟福的网站显示，五个月后，他抵达了保加利亚，这是他旅程的起点。在这次旅行中，他满17岁了)”可知，5个月后，他回到出发地。在飞行期间，他才刚满17岁。由此可知，他是在16岁时启程的。故选A。 【5题详解】 词义推测题。根据第二段最的“He entered his last leg through the United States, Canada and Mexico before flying back through Europe. (他的last leg是美国、加拿大和墨西哥，然后飞回欧洲)”可知，他最后飞回欧洲。可推知，美国、加拿大和墨西哥是他的最后一段。由此可知，last leg意为“最后一段”。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“I think there’s something I can actually try to struggle for and achieve. (我觉得有一些事情是我可以努力去争取和实现的)”以及末段首句“There were several “hairy” moments during his journey,he said,but he never gave up. (他说，旅途中有几次“惊险”时刻，但他从未放弃)”可知，他是一个有抱负的，勇于冒险的人。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据首段首句“Mack Rutherford,born on June 21, 2005, has become the youngest person to fly around the world alone in a small plane after taking off on March 23,2022. (马克·卢瑟福出生于2005年6月21日，他于2022年3月23日起飞，成为独自驾驶小型飞机环游世界的最年轻的人)”可知，本文记叙了Mack Rutherford在他16岁时，开始独自环球飞行，成为目前最年轻的独自环球飞行的人的事迹。文章第一段起着导语的作用，由此推知，这是一篇新闻报道。故选C。 C We have been taught from a young age that red means stop and green means go. So why were these colors chosen for traffic lights? And what’s the history behind the colors? To trace the connection between the colors and traffic lights,we have to travel back in time to the earliest railroad signals (信号灯) developed in the 1830s. Those first railroad signals were the forerunner of our modern stoplights. Like modern traffic controls,they contained three lights:one for stop,one for caution (警告),and one for go. The original color system was different from our modern system,though. Red meant stop,green meant caution,and white meant go. The choice of red for stop was fairly obvious,since red — the color of blood — has been associated with danger for thousands of years, long before cars were even around. Scientifically speaking,red is the color with the longest wavelength which means that as it travels,it gets spread less in different directions than other colors,so it can be seen from a greater distance. Why green and white were chosen for the other signals remains a bit of a mystery. It’s possible that the two colors were chosen because how they contrasted (反差) with red. This system of color-coded signals remained in place (仍然有效) for several decades until it became clear that using white for go could cause serious problems. Around 1914,a train signal’s red lights broke down,causing it to appear white. As a train approached the signal,it was supposed to stop,but the driver believed the white meant go. The result was a terrible train crash. After that,the color for go was eventually changed to green. To provide the most contrast between red and green,yellow was then chosen as the new color for caution,because it can be seen well at all times of the day. After cars were invented and went into mass production,a similar signaling system was needed to control the flow of traffic. When traffic lights were put up,it became standard for them as well. 8. How does the author describe the original traffic lights? A. By listing an example. B. By offering a suggestion. C. By making a comparison. D. By showing the importance. 9. Why is the color red chosen for stop? A. It is the easiest to recognize all day long. B. It reminds people of accidents and danger. C. It spreads fastest in all directions in the air. D. It has proved the least harmless to our eyes. 10. What caused the accident in paragraph 4? A. The driver’s tiredness. B. The train’s high speed. C. The travel system’s shortcoming. D. The white light’s failing to work. 11. Which can be the best title for the text? A. How did the present traffic lights form? B Why was the first traffic system invented? C. Why did white disappear from the traffic lights? D. How did an accident change the traffic systems? 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了交通信号灯的发展历程。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段最后四句“Those first railroad signals were the forerunner of our modern stoplights. Like modern traffic controls, they contained three lights:one for stop, one for caution (警告), and one for go. The original color system was different from our modern system, though. Red meant stop,green meant caution, and white meant go. (这些最早的铁路信号是我们现代红绿灯的前身。就像现代交通控制系统一样，它们包含三个信号灯：一个代表停车，一个代表小心，一个代表通行。不过，最初的颜色系统与我们现在的系统不同。红色表示停止，绿色表示小心，白色表示通行。)”可知，作者通过对比来描述原来的交通灯。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“The choice of red for stop was fairly obvious, since red — the color of blood — has been associated with danger for thousands of years, long before cars were even around. (选择红色表示停车是相当明显的，因为红色——血液的颜色——几千年来一直与危险联系在一起，甚至远在汽车出现之前。)”可知，因为红色是血液的颜色，所以人们通常把这个颜色与危险联系在一起。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段第四五句“Around 1914, a train signal’s red lights broke down, causing it to appear white. As a train approached the signal, it was supposed to stop, but the driver believed the white meant go. (大约在1914年，一个火车信号的红灯坏了，导致它看起来是白色的。当一列火车接近信号灯时，它应该停下来，但司机认为白色是“前进”的意思。)”可知，是信号灯的颜色缺陷导致的事故。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据首段“We have been taught from a young age that red means stop and green means go. So why were these colors chosen for traffic lights? And what’s the history behind the colors? (我们从小就被教导红色代表停止，绿色代表通行。那么为什么选择这些颜色作为交通灯呢?这些颜色背后的历史又是什么呢？)”可知，本文主要介绍了交通信号灯的发展历程。故选A。 D No matter where you live in the world, natural disasters are always a threat. Of course, we humans take steps, both at an individual and social level, to prepare ourselves for the possibility of natural disasters. But preparing for these events requires understanding the types of natural disasters, what causes them, and the dangers they cause. A technical term for a period of very cold weather, a cold wave is a type of natural disaster where the temperature drops rapidly over the course of 24 hours. While cold weather in itself isn’t necessarily enough to cause a natural disaster, a rapid dropping of the temperature could lead to lots of problems for communities in a region. Interestingly, there isn’t an precise temperature threshold (起点) that must reach to be. Rather, cold waves are classified (分类) by how fast the temperature falls. Since what’s considered to be “cold” varies widely from region to region, local weather services will use local weather averages to determine if a weather event is actually a cold wave. There are many reasons why a cold wave might occur. One of the most common causes of a cold wave is the arrival of a very strong high pressure system from the polar regions. Alternatively, movement in the jet streams can also drive very cold weather southward in just a matter of hours. The primary danger of a cold wave is, indeed, the cold weather itself. This can lead to a higher risk of hypothermia (低温症) and other cold-related injuries. Additionally, cold weather can cause ice and frost to build up quickly, damaging basic facilities. Cold waves are also particularly dangerous for aircraft and other machinery. Extreme cold can use up vehicle batteries or cause petrol to come together. So, whenever in extreme cold weather, people need to be careful. 12. Why do people need to understand natural disasters? A. To remove nervousness. B. To encourage research. C. To get ready for its possibility. D. To build professional departments. 13. How can we define a cold wave? A. By an exact temperature. B. By classified temperature. C. By local climate standards. D. By fallen temperature in summer. 14. Which of the following contributes most to the cold wave? A. Sudden big wind. B. Heavy snow. C. Rapidly rising temperature. D. A powerful pressure system from polar areas. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. A natural program. B. A climate disaster. C. A scientific method. D. A scientific experiment. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了可能会给人类生命和财产带来危害的一种自然灾害——寒潮。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句和第三句“Of course, we humans take steps, both at an individual and social level, to prepare ourselves for the possibility of natural disasters. But preparing for these events requires understanding the types of natural disasters, what causes them, and the dangers they cause.”（当然，我们人类在个人和社会层面都采取措施，为可能发生的自然灾害做好准备。但是，为这些事件做准备需要了解自然灾害的类型、造成灾害的原因以及它们造成的危险。）可知，我们人类在个人和社会层面都采取了措施，为自然灾害的可能性做好准备。为这些事件做准备需要了解自然灾害的类型、成因以及造成的危害。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Since what’s considered to be “cold” varies widely from region to region, local weather services will use local weather averages to determine if a weather event is actually a cold wave.”（由于“冷”的定义因地区而异，当地的气象服务机构将使用当地的平均天气来确定某个天气事件是否真的是寒潮。）可知，当地气象机构依据该地气候标准来确定某天气事件是否是寒潮。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“One of the most common causes of a cold wave is the arrival of a very strong high pressure system from the polar regions.”（寒潮最常见的原因之一是来自极地地区的超强高压系统的到来。）可知，从极地地区来的非常强的高压系统经常导致寒潮的发生。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文以及第一段“No matter where you live in the world, natural disasters are always a threat. Of course, we humans take steps, both at an individual and social level, to prepare ourselves for the possibility of natural disasters. But preparing for these events requires understanding the types of natural disasters, what causes them, and the dangers they cause.”（无论你生活在世界的哪个地方，自然灾害总是一个威胁。当然，我们人类在个人和社会层面都采取措施，为可能发生的自然灾害做好准备。但是，为这些事件做准备需要了解自然灾害的类型、造成灾害的原因以及它们造成的危险。）可知，文章介绍了可能会给人类生命和财产带来危害的一种自然灾害寒潮。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分） Being responsible outside of class Manage your time wisely Managing your time will greatly help you become a better student and a more productive worker.

Evan had been senior high school students for two years. The school he attends is a challenging school and is strict with students but Evan did well and he had changed a lot. We were very grateful that our son had learned not only to tidy up, but to shine everything. Most importantly, he became more outgoing. But with all the strict rules and hard work, the students there were also forming lifelong friendships. It was a practice that those unable to go home for the holidays would find a welcoming place at the table in the home of any of their friends. We’d hosted Evan’s roommates last year and looked forward to meeting new guests this Thanksgiving. “Oh, one thing, Mom,” Evan continued. “These guys are exchange students. They would be Tim from Thailand, Kanok and Patrick from Mexico and Costel from Canada. They couldn’t eat their traditional dishes at school. So you’d better cook some special dishes for them. I know you are good at cuisine（烹饪）. ” Indeed, I did delicious dishes and I was very excited about the international dishes we’d have at our dinner table. What dishes would I cook for these special visitors? They’d probably love a traditional turkey. But ... what are their traditional dishes? I love to cook, so this was an excuse to take out my wide variety of cook books, to do a little research on the favorite foods of these three faraway lands. I decided to roast a turkey, and found several traditional dishes of Mexico and Canada. The only traditional dish of Thailand I thought I could have a try was something called foufou. I told Evan about it, who checked in with his friend Tim. “Tim is crazy about foufou, Mom! You have to make it! Tim also said he could help you if you needed. ” So Turkey Day morning found me busy in the kitchen. The last dish I cooked was foufou.

It was our new guest who had arrived. I'm very happy to welcome them in. They were also very polite to greet me and wish me a happy holiday. They all thank me very much for cooking their traditional food and for understanding their customs. Tim, in particular, was obsessed with foufou. When I made it, he said he hadn't had it for a long time and that he could help me. Just as I talked with Tim, I smelt something burning in the kitchen! Only then did I think of foufou in the kitchen, which could only be cooked for ten minutes on the stove. By the time I felt the kitchen, the last course was a mess. But I don't have time to start over. They were very sorry, but they were very grateful that I could cook something for them. So, my son, his friends and I had an unforgettable and wonderful Thanksgiving. 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章以人物故事为线索展开，文章讲述了一个难忘的感恩节。作者做美食招待客人，但把菜烧糊，作者感到遗憾而客人仍然很感激。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在这时，我听到了埃文兴奋的声音，于是我走出了厨房。”可知，第一段可描写客人到来，为客人准备传统的美食。 ②由第二段首句内容“就在我和蒂姆说话的时候，我闻到厨房里有烧焦的味道!”可知，第二段可描写在交谈中把这道菜做砸了，作者感到遗憾，客人仍然很感激。 2.续写线索：迎接客人——问候——招待——美食——菜烧焦——遗憾——感激 3.词汇激活 行为类 （1）到达：arrived/get to/reach （2）成功做成某事：made it /succeed in doing sth./manage to do sth. （3）想起：think of /recall/remember 情绪类 （1）感谢：showing his appreciation/show his gratitude/be grateful （2）兴奋：excited /thrilled 【点睛】[高分句型1] Only then did I think of foufou in the kitchen, which could only be cooked for ten minutes on the stove.（句中使用部分倒装和which引导的非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] It was our new guest who had arrived.（由关系代词who引导限制性定语从句） [高分句型3] By the time I felt the kitchen, the last course was a mess.（by the time引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 巴楚县第一中学2023-2024学年第二学期 高一年级 期中考试 英语试卷 考试时间：100分钟 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分60分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题3分，满分45分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A The World’s Most Amazing Caves Humans have been drawn to caves for thousands of years.

B Mack Rutherford,born on June 21, 2005, has become the youngest person to fly around the world alone in a small plane after taking off on March 23, 2022. Five months later, he touched down in the Bulgaria (保加利亚),where his journey began, according to Rutherford’s website. He turned 17 years old during the trip. Rutherford’s route extended 52 countries on a specially prepared plane, according to his website. His journey was tracked on his website, which showed he set off for the Mediterranean (地中海) then through the Sahara, onwards through the Middle East and then East Asia. He broke two world records, previously held by his older sister Zara Rutherford, as the youngest person to fly around the world alone and also the youngest person to do so in such a small plane. He entered his last leg through the United States, Canada and Mexico before flying back through Europe. The teenager was just 15 years old when he received his first pilot’s license (许可证), becoming the youngest pilot in the world. “Having flown hundreds of hours with my dad, who is a professional pilot, I have known for certain I wanted to fly. I think there’s something I can actually try to struggle for and achieve,” he said. “I also want to use the opportunity to meet young people on my route who do amazing things or make a difference to their communities or even to the world,” he wrote before flying off. There were several “hairy” moments during his journey, he said, but he never gave up. His journey even took him to a deserted island in the North Pacific after strong head winds forced him to land during a flight from Japan to the United States. “I was forced to face it on my own — but that was definitely an amazing experience,” he said. 4 What do we know about Mack Rutherford? A. He started his journey at the age of 16. B. He was forced to fly around the world. C. He visited every country of five continents. D. He is the first to fly around the world alone. 5. What do the underlined words “last leg” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Losing control. B. The final period of his trip. C. Injuring his leg. D. A dangerous situation. 6. Which can best describe Mack Rutherford? A. Intelligent and warm-hearted. B. Generous and hardworking. C. Determined and humorous. D. Ambitious and adventurous. 7. What is the text? A. A survey report. B. A travel guideline. C. A news report. D. A book review. C We have been taught from a young age that red means stop and green means go. So why were these colors chosen for traffic lights? And what’s the history behind the colors? To trace the connection between the colors and traffic lights,we have to travel back in time to the earliest railroad signals (信号灯) developed in the 1830s. Those first railroad signals were the forerunner of our modern stoplights. Like modern traffic controls,they contained three lights:one for stop,one for caution (警告),and one for go. The original color system was different from our modern system,though. Red meant stop,green meant caution,and white meant go. The choice of red for stop was fairly obvious,since red — the color of blood — has been associated with danger for thousands of years, long before cars were even around. Scientifically speaking,red is the color with the longest wavelength which means that as it travels,it gets spread less in different directions than other colors,so it can be seen from a greater distance. Why green and white were chosen for the other signals remains a bit of a mystery. It’s possible that the two colors were chosen because how they contrasted (反差) with red. This system of color-coded signals remained in place (仍然有效) for several decades until it became clear that using white for go could cause serious problems. Around 1914,a train signal’s red lights broke down,causing it to appear white. As a train approached the signal,it was supposed to stop,but the driver believed the white meant go. The result was a terrible train crash. After that,the color for go was eventually changed to green. To provide the most contrast between red and green,yellow was then chosen as the new color for caution,because it can be seen well at all times of the day. After cars were invented and went into mass production,a similar signaling system was needed to control the flow of traffic. When traffic lights were put up,it became standard for them as well. 8. How does the author describe the original traffic lights? A. By listing an example. B. By offering a suggestion. C. By making a comparison. D. By showing the importance. 9. Why is the color red chosen for stop? A. It is the easiest to recognize all day long. B. It reminds people of accidents and danger. C. It spreads fastest in all directions in the air. D. It has proved the least harmless to our eyes. 10 What caused the accident in paragraph 4? A. The driver’s tiredness. B. The train’s high speed. C. The travel system’s shortcoming. D. The white light’s failing to work. 11. Which can be the best title for the text? A. How did the present traffic lights form? B. Why was the first traffic system invented? C. Why did white disappear from the traffic lights? D. How did an accident change the traffic systems? D No matter where you live in the world, natural disasters are always a threat. Of course, we humans take steps, both at an individual and social level, to prepare ourselves for the possibility of natural disasters. But preparing for these events requires understanding the types of natural disasters, what causes them, and the dangers they cause. A technical term for a period of very cold weather, a cold wave is a type of natural disaster where the temperature drops rapidly over the course of 24 hours. While cold weather in itself isn’t necessarily enough to cause a natural disaster, a rapid dropping of the temperature could lead to lots of problems for communities in a region. Interestingly, there isn’t an precise temperature threshold (起点) that must reach to be. Rather, cold waves are classified (分类) by how fast the temperature falls. Since what’s considered to be “cold” varies widely from region to region, local weather services will use local weather averages to determine if a weather event is actually a cold wave. There are many reasons why a cold wave might occur. One of the most common causes of a cold wave is the arrival of a very strong high pressure system from the polar regions. Alternatively, movement in the jet streams can also drive very cold weather southward in just a matter of hours. The primary danger of a cold wave is indeed, the cold weather itself. This can lead to a higher risk of hypothermia (低温症) and other cold-related injuries. Additionally, cold weather can cause ice and frost to build up quickly, damaging basic facilities. Cold waves are also particularly dangerous for aircraft and other machinery. Extreme cold can use up vehicle batteries or cause petrol to come together. So, whenever in extreme cold weather, people need to be careful. 12. Why do people need to understand natural disasters? A. To remove nervousness. B. To encourage research. C. To get ready for its possibility. D. To build professional departments. 13. How can we define a cold wave? A. By an exact temperature. B. By classified temperature. C. By local climate standards. D. By fallen temperature in summer. 14. Which of the following contributes most to the cold wave? A. Sudden big wind. B. Heavy snow. C. Rapidly rising temperature. D. A powerful pressure system from polar areas. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. A natural program. B. A climate disaster. C. A scientific method. D. A scientific experiment. 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分） Being responsible outside of class Manage your time wisely Managing your time will greatly help you become a better student and a more productive worker.
