Americans and foreigners alike experience a kind of culture shock when they first arrive. It is one of the most respected centers of higher education in the United States. Many young people like to live and work in America’s largest city. But if you do not know where to start, it helps to belong to a community. The city has a place where students have a chance to meet and find their place in the world. It is a private, non—profit center called International House, which serves students from more than 100 countries. Adjibola Amzat, who is from Nigeria, lives there. “Without the International House, New York would have been a very, very lonely place for many people,” he says. Amzat worked as a news reporter. He left his job to study at Columbia University. He registered for a graduate degree program in journalism. Amzat likes International House. He thinks it has helped to improve his experience at Columbia University. International House welcomes graduate students from many universities. They have a chance to attend many cultural celebrations throughout the year. The students say their interaction with each other has led to new friendships and personal growth. Akmyrat Tuyliyev is from Turkmenistan. He says he finds people from so many areas at International House. This, he says, makes him want to work to change the world. “I’d never seen a black person until I came to the United States. So seeing students from Russia, students from China, and all of these other countries, coming here to unite, is really inspiring.” Many of the 700 people who live at International House say they want to continue the relationships they have begun when they return home. 8. What is Adjibola Amzat’s attitude towards International House? A. Regretful. B. Careful. C. Doubtful. D. Thankful. 9. What do we know about the students living at International House? A. They get along well with each other. B. They celebrate each other’s holiday. C. They learn each other’s language. D. They are from senior high schools. 10. How does this experience affect Akmyrat Tuyliyev? A. It makes him want to know about the world. B. It encourages him to make a difference to the world. C. It changes his opinion about the black people. D. It makes him study much harder than before. 11. Which of the following can be the best title? A. Attractive New York B. International Students C. A Helpful Community D. New Friendships D There is hot, and then there is hot! Extreme heat is a period of high heat and humidity with temperatures above 90 degrees Fahrenheit for at least two to three days. Extreme heat is responsible for the highest number of annual deaths among all weather-related hazards (危害). It’s not your imagination. Summers have been getting hotter and hotter with extreme heatwaves occurring earlier and more frequently. But why is this happening and can we better predict heatwaves in advance to give people time to prepare? “Climate change is here and it’s already been changing human behavior and causing significant influence in the society. As global temperatures rise, historically excessive (过高的) temperatures are more likely to occur.” says Craig Ramseyer, an assistant professor who studies climate modeling in the department of geography at Virginia Tech. Ramseyer says heatwaves are the most concerning because of the lack of attention they normally receive. “Hurricanes, tornadoes, and flash floods drive more media attention because of the natural attraction with the visual impact of those types of hazards. However, heat does not tend to be as attractive and it becomes very difficult to communicate the danger to the public,” said Ramseyer. “Around the world, more deaths occur due to extreme heat than from hurricanes, flooding, and drought combined. It impacts the most helpless of our citizens who do not have enough access to air conditioning, water, and other important resources.” Since the Earth is running warmer than it used to, Ramseyer says that when these heatwave-related weather patterns take place, it results in higher extreme temperatures than we used to experience 30 years ago. “As a global community, we need to decrease carbon emissions as soon as possible. We have rapidly developing technologies that are going to help advance the process, but the faster the better, there is no time to waste.” 12. What can we learn from the article? A. Extreme heat is a No.1 death cause. B. People are suffering more extreme heat. C. A 100-degree heat is an extreme heat. D. Extreme heat is getting better over the years. 13. What will Ramseyer possibly agree with? A. Climate change will soon affect human behaviors. B. High temperatures happened frequently in history. C. Air conditioning and water can stop the extreme heat. D. Garbage sorting can less advance the climate change. 14. Why is extreme heat lack of attention? A. Extreme heat can be stopped by technology. B. People have enough time to solve the climate problems. C. The danger of extreme heat is not easily transferred to the public. D. Heatwave-related weather patterns will decrease in the future. 15. What’s the article mainly about? A. Complaints about extreme heat. B. Prevention of extreme heat. C Characters of extreme heat. D. Technologies behind extreme heat. 8/8 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 必修二 unit 1 extended reading重点词汇讲解 Forrest Gump (excerpt) Forrest Gump is a 1994 film starring Tom Hanks.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了极端高温越来越频繁，并且造成大量人员死亡，但是得不到关注，最后呼吁尽快减少碳排放。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Summers have been getting hotter and hotter with extreme heatwaves occurring earlier and more frequently.(夏天越来越热，极端热浪出现的时间越来越早，也越来越频繁)”可推知，人们正在遭受更多的极端高温。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Around the world, more deaths occur due to extreme heat than from hurricanes, flooding, and drought combined. It impacts the most helpless of our citizens who do not have enough access to air conditioning, water, and other important resources.(在世界各地，死于极端高温的人数比死于飓风、洪水和干旱的人数加起来还要多。它影响到我们最无助的公民，他们没有足够的机会获得空调、水和其他重要资源)”可推知，拉姆齐耶认为空调和水可以防止极端高温。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Hurricanes, tornadoes, and flash floods drive more media attention because of the natural attraction with the visual impact of those types of hazards. However, heat does not tend to be as attractive and it becomes very difficult to communicate the danger to the public.(飓风、龙卷风和山洪暴发吸引了更多媒体的关注，因为这些类型的灾害具有自然吸引力和视觉冲击。然而，炎热往往没有那么吸引人，向公众传达危险变得非常困难)”可知，极端高温的危险不容易传达给公众导致酷热缺乏关注。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“Extreme heat is responsible for the highest number of annual deaths among all weather-related hazards.(在所有与天气有关的危害中，极端高温每年造成的死亡人数最高)”以及最后一段“As a global community, we need to decrease carbon emissions as soon as possible. We have rapidly developing technologies that are going to help advance the process, but the faster the better, there is no time to waste.(作为一个国际社会，我们需要尽快减少碳排放。我们有快速发展的技术来帮助推进这一进程，但是越快越好，没有时间可以浪费)”可知，作者在文中介绍了极端高温造成的危害，并呼吁国际社会采取措施应对这一自然灾害，所以“预防极端高温”是本文是主旨。故选B项。 8/8 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
