B For the police officers at the Beijing Police Dog Breeding Centre (繁育中心)in Daxing, dog training is an important part of their everyday lives. Training there usually happens four times a day-twice in the morning and twice in the afternoon. When it's hot outside, they train only twice a day for one to two hours. Some dogs like to use their noses to find out about the world, and others enjoy looking around with their eyes. Police officers watch how each dog acts to make special training plans for each one of them. Xia, a police officer at the centre, says the best time to start training is when the dog is about 3 months old. Song, another officer, says training dogs is like playing mind games with them. “Every day, we think of new ways to test the dogs. At the same time, the dogs are also thinking of ways to give us what we want,” says Song. The centre takes good care of the dogs. The dogs eat many different kinds of foods like beef, chicken and eggs, and they help them grow strong. They also get regular check-ups(定期体检)to stay healthy. The police officers there enjoy training the dogs and are glad to see them grow from little ones into good police dogs. ( )29. How often do the police officers usually train the dogs? A. Once a day. B.Twice a day. C. Three times a day. D. Four times a day. ( )30. What's the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. Dogs have different ways to get around. B. Police officers need to train hard just like their dogs. C. Dogs like to use their noses to find out about the world. D. Police officers need to make special training plans for each dog. ( )31.What can the dogs at the centre get according to the last paragraph? ①Many gifts. ②Regular check-ups. ③Enough food. ④Some clothes. A.①② B.②③ C.③④ D.①④ C About once a year, someone in my family gets the flu(流感),and soon, everyone catches it. It’s something many families go through. But there's another thing that can spread(传播)in a family even more often: moods (情绪). Studies show it's as easy to catch a bad mood from someone as it is to get the flu from him. So it's important to know how our moods affect (影响) others. I always find it hard to control my mood. Small things like my favourite sports team losing would make me upset. And my bad mood would spread to everyone around me. Here's how it works: our bad moods can make others talk about their own bad experiences (经历), making things even worse. Life can be difficult. We all have bad days at school or find out bad news. It's natural to be unhappy sometimes. But the worst thing we do is bring our bad moods home to our loved ones. Bad moods, even small ones, can make a big difference. They can bring everyone down. Positivity (积极乐观), on the other hand, can create positivity.When someone is positive,he can make everyone's heart lift. So control what you can and try to spread positivity. It feels great to be a little sun around your friends and family! ( )32. Why does the writer write about the flu? A. To ask us to be careful with it. B. To show that bad moods can spread like it. C. To ask us to stay away from people with it. D. To show that bad moods can make people weak like it. ( )33. How do our bad moods spread to others according to the passage? A. They make others share their own bad experiences. B. They get others to feel afraid to talk to us. C. They get others to be angry with us. D. They make others feel bad about us. ( )34.The underlined part“make everyone's heart lift"in the last paragraph probably means“_” A. make everyone happy B. keep everyone busy C. wake everyone up D. get everyone out ( )35.What is the writer trying to tell us? A. Even small things can bring us bad moods. B. Positive people can make everyone feel better. C. We should stop our bad moods from spreading. D. It's OK to talk about our bad feelings with others. D Tsunamis are giant waves in the ocean (海啸是海洋中的巨浪) that get bigger as they come closer to land. They can be very dangerous, flooding cities and destroying homes. Tsunamis happen when a lot of water is suddenly moved. This can be caused by earthquakes, landslides, volcanoes erupting, or ice breaking off glaciers. Most tsunamis come from earthquakes. An earthquake is when a big piece of the Earth suddenly moves. Underwater, this can make big gaps (裂口) on the ocean floor. When water fills these gaps, a tsunami occurs. After the water is moved by an earthquake, waves spread out from where the water moved. These waves can travel fast and far. Some tsunamis have crossed thousands of miles and moved as fast as 500 miles per hour. Tsunamis are hard to see in deep water because the waves are small. But near land, they grow tall. When a tsunami reaches the shore (海岸), it can be a high wall of water that rushes inland, sometimes for a long way and very quickly. Tsunamis can happen in any large body of water, but they are often seen in the Pacific Ocean. Countries like Japan, Chile, and the United States along the Pacific Ocean are at risk. However, tsunamis can happen anywhere. In 2004, a huge earthquake in the Indian Ocean caused a tsunami that killed over 230,000 people. Coastal areas often have systems (系统)to warn(警告)about tsunamis. If there's an earthquake that might cause a tsunami, people are told to leave or go to high ground. ( )36. Which question does Paragraph 2 answer? A. What can lead to a tsunami? B. Why are tsunamis dangerous? C.Which tsunami is the worst in history? D. Where does a tsunami often take place? ( )37. What does the underlined word“occurs”in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese? A.消失 B.通过 C.发生 D.到达 ( )38. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A.How tsunamis change the land. B.Why tsunamis are hard to prevent. C.Why tsunami waves are hard to see. D.How tsunami waves change along the way. ( )39. Why does the writer talk about the tsunami in2004in Paragraph 5? A. To take pity on the 230,000 people. B. To show how terrible a tsunami can be. C. To explain how dangerous the Indian Ocean is. D. To tell people to keep away from the Indian Ocean. ( )40.What's the best title for the passage? A. Tsunami safety tips B. Tsunamis and humans C. Planning for tsunamis D. Understanding tsunamis B)阅读短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Here are some tips for taking care of your body and staying safe when you play football.

After a heavy rain, you may see small “rivers” of water running down the sides of city streets. That's storm water, and it' s a big source of water pollution (污染源). In most cities, streets cover a large part of the ground. This means that they prevent the ground from soaking up (吸收) water. So storm water collects on the streets or goes through small gutters (排水沟). Most cities have storm drains (排水系统).They can carry storm water away from the city. This helps to prevent flooding in cities. But it also causes a problem. It puts a lot of dirty water into lakes and rivers. So how does storm water cause pollution? If you walk down the streets, you will see rubbish (垃圾) on the streets. Storm water carries this rubbish with it as it runs. This means that bags, cans and bottles end up in lakes and rivers. So do oil and fuel (油和燃料) left by cars. This happens because when rain falls on the streets, it picks up rubbish and waste from cars and carries them into the storm water. Scientists and city planners want to find ways to stop storm water from being such a problem. They believe that better planning, planting trees, building grassy areas, and teaching people not to throw rubbish on the ground will help. 注:每题答案不超过5个词。 61. When does storm water happen in cities according to Paragraph 1? _ 62. What may storm water cause if there aren't any storm drains in cities? _ 63. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to? _ 64. How many ways do people find to prevent storm water pollution in the last paragraph? _ 65. What is the passage mainly about? _ 六、书面表达(满分20分) 假如你们活动小组为外国交换生录制了一个关于“台风(typhoon)到来前需要做什么”的视频,请你根据下面的提示,为这个视频写一篇英文配音稿。 注意事项: (1) 词数:100左右; (2)必须包含所有要点,可适当发挥,使其连贯、通顺。 _ Unit 8 Natural disasters综合能力评估试题参考答案 一、1-5CDABC 6-10 DDCBA 二、11-15 DABAC 16-20DCBBC 21-25 ABADB 三、26-28CCA 29-31DDB 32-35 BAAC 36-40ACDBD 41-45 FEDAC 四、A) 46.village 47. asleep 48. behind 49. shook 50.Thousands of B) 51. weekly 52. player 53. was reading 54. missing 55. and 56. hearts 57.a 58. turned 59.her 60.with 五、61.
