Step 5　解读——长句难句分析 1．I was sitting in my room with my cat，Smartie，on my lap，when the roof just flew off. [句式分析]　此句含有be doing...when...结构，意为“正在做某事，这时……”，when 为并列连词，相当于and just at that time。 [自主翻译]　当时我正坐在自己房间里，猫咪斯玛蒂趴在我腿上，突然屋顶就飞走了。 2．We just had drinking water that was sent to us by helicopter，but it was never enough. [句式分析]　此句为并列复合句。句中but为并列连词，连接并列的句子，表转折；第一个分句中，that引导定语从句，修饰water。 [自主翻译]　我们只能喝直升机送来的饮用水，但总是不够喝。 3．But Mom said that whatever happens，we should always try to see the good side of things. [句式分析]　此句为复合句。主句的主语和谓语为Mom said，其后that引导宾语从句；whatever happens是让步状语从句。 [自主翻译]　不过妈妈说不管发生什么，我们都应该尽量看到事情好的一面。 4．Now we have another chance to look up at the stars of New Orleans，their beauty inspiring us and giving us confidence to move on. [句式分析]　此句为简单句。句子主干为Now we have another chance，to look up at the stars of New Orleans为不定式短语作后置定语，修饰chance；their beauty inspiring us and giving us confidence to move on为独立主格结构，其作用相当于状语。 [自主翻译]　现在我们又能仰望新奥尔良的星空了，星空的美鼓舞着我们，让我们有信心继续前行。 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A A restaurant owner’s remarkable act of heroism saved many lives during a storm in Rolling Fork，Mississippi，which destroyed a local restaurant. Tracy Harden，the owner of Chuck’s Dairy Bar，rushed her staff into a walk-in cooler moments before a tornado hit the establishment on Friday. Harden spoke to Good Morning America reporter Robin Roberts on Monday alongside two employees，Barbara Pinkins and Carolyn Washington，who were both in the restaurant when the tornado hit. As the horrible tornado tore through the local area，Harden said she only had a minute of advance notice before it came moving rapidly through the restaurant. “I got two text messages back-to-back from my sister and my daughter in Vicksburg and they both said，‘There’s a tornado down，get to a safe place.’ At the same time I had my teenage cashier came running towards the back of the building saying，‘My mother is on the phone and she said there is a tornado down here.’ At that point，most of us were towards the back of the building and the lights flickered(闪烁)．And I just shouted，‘Cooler！’ And my husband opened the cooler door and started pushing us in.” Harden said that once her husband got them all inside，including himself，“he lost control of the door，the wind took the door and somehow he was able to get the door back.” “Just before it shut，he looked up and he said，‘I see the sky，’ so that let us know that this was way worse than anything we could have imagined，” she continued.“And the roof was gone.” Pinkins，meanwhile，recalled the chaos(混乱场面) before the tornado touched the restaurant，as Harden led people to safety.She said she remembered hearing Harden say，“Calm down.Everybody gets to the cooler！” “By the time we got to the cooler，I couldn’t hear anything but the ceiling falling，” Pinkins said through tears，hugging Harden. 1．Where was Harden when the tornado struck? A．In Chuck’s Dairy Bar. B．In Vicksburg. C．In Good Morning America station. D．In Robin Roberts’ restaurant. 答案　A 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中“Tracy Harden，the owner of Chuck’s Dairy Bar”和第三段中“Harden...alongside two employees，Barbara Pinkins and Carolyn Washington，who were both in the restaurant when the tornado hit.”可知，龙卷风袭击时Harden在Chuck’s Dairy Bar。故选A。 2．What can we know about the tornado? A．It was slow but frightening. B．It was the worst in local history. C．Harden lost her husband because of it. D．Harden received an advance notice about it. 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知，Harden事先收到了关于龙卷风的通知。故选D。 3．Which of the following best describe Harden? A．Ambitious and energetic. B．Brave and calm. C．Optimistic and determined. D．Selfless and tough. 答案　B 解析　推理判断题。根据第五段中的“At that point，most of us were towards the back of the building and the lights flickered(闪烁)．And I just shouted，‘Cooler！’”和倒数第二段中的“She said she remembered hearing Harden say，‘Calm down.Everybody gets to the cooler！’”可知，Harden在龙卷风袭来时表现得勇敢且冷静。故选B。 4．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Methods to Survive a Tornado B．Damage Brought by a Tornado C．Restaurant Owner Saved Her Staff from Tornado D．Horrible Tornado Destroyed a Local Restaurant 答案　C 解析　标题归纳题。通读全文尤其是第一段可知，本文主要讲述了餐馆老板Harden在龙卷风袭来时救她的员工的故事。故选C。 B Hurricane season is here.Fiona ruined Puerto Rico，and less than two weeks later，Ian struck the west coast of Florida and its remnants(残余部分) moved up and hit the Eastern Seaboard. Extreme weather events like Ian and Fiona have become more intense because of climate change.That reality has implications for those of us in health care.We have a duty to protect and advance the health of our patients. We typically think of health as something doctors monitor，offering treatment such as prescription medications as needed.But in reality，only about 20% of a person’s health is attributable to the medical care they receive.Social determinants such as people’s neighborhood and socioeconomic status are actually responsible for 40% of a person’s health outcomes.It’s a sad truth that a ZIP code can be more predictive of a person’s health than his or her genetic code. Consider how extreme weather events such as this summer’s heat waves affected communities unequally.Poor urban neighborhoods，with sparse tree cover but plenty of concrete and asphalt，absorb and retain the heat of the sun’s rays，while leafy，shaded countrysides just a few miles away stay much cooler.A University of California-San Diego study that measured land surface temperatures in over 1,000 counties across the United States found that neighborhoods with the lowest average education and income levels generally recorded higher temperatures. Extreme weather events such as flood can threaten people’s physical and mental health long after it recedes.Almost 1 in 3 people in the flooded area were estimated to have suffered from certain post-traumatic stress disorder.Therefore，physicians in regions at increased risk of natural disasters may need to be ready to deliver more mental health care.For example，doctors in drought-stricken areas may need to make water safety a part of their conversations with patients，because groundwater sources can become unsafe to drink without sufficient rainfall. Climate change has posed an immediate and dire health threat.Now is the time for health care providers to take collective action to adapt to this unfortunate reality. 5．What can we infer from paragraph 3? A．ZIP code largely tells a person’s health outcomes. B．A person’s genetic code is determined by ZIP code. C．A person’s genetic code is less important than ZIP code. D．ZIP code is most responsible for people’s health outcomes. 答案　A 解析　推理判断题。根据第三段中的最后两句可推断出，一个地区的邮政代码很可能预测到这个地区个人的健康。故选A项。 6．Why did the author mention poor urban neighborhoods? A．To show that people with the lowest education have the lowest income. B．To show that poor people tend to be more exposed to extreme weather. C．To show that shaded countrysides stay much cooler than urban areas. D．To show that poor people live in a less-environment-friendly community. 答案　B 解析　推理判断题。根据第四段中的第一句以及下文中的详细描述可推断，作者提到贫穷的城市社区是为了表明穷人更容易受到极端天气的影响。故选B项。 7．How many kinds of extreme weather are mentioned in the passage? A．2. B．3. C．4. D．5. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据文中提到的“hurricane season(飓风季节)”，“heat waves(热浪)”，“flood(洪水)”，以及“drought(干旱)”可知，文中共涉及4种极端天气。故选C项。 8．What is the tone of the passage? A．Objective. B．Urgent. C．Optimistic. D．Worried. 答案　B 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，作者认为气候变化对于人体健康会立即产生严重危害，护理提供者采取相应行动来应对现状迫在眉睫。故选B项。 Ⅱ.七选五 The wrong donations end up costing charities precious dollars just to store leftovers(积压物资)，which is why clothing may not be the best use of your donation efforts. 1 Think of the children.Children’s needs are important during disasters.As families influenced by a disaster try to protect their children from the effects，they try to provide children with toys，snacks，juices，candies，and other comfort items，particularly in post-disaster environments. 2 Shelters will accept these donations and give them out properly. Donate your skills to your community.If you are trained in disaster response，you can contact your local emergency services and the Red Cross to see if they need volunteers.Let them know your abilities. 3 Do not go as an individual volunteer to a disaster area expecting to find ways to help. 4 Time and comfort are the two most important things you can give for free.Spend time listening to the victims(受灾群众) with an understanding ear.You can bring books and read to the children. Become a volunteer now for the future.Besides donating money，volunteering is the best way to give. 5 The Red Cross and charity organizations prefer a trained group of volunteers who can jump into action.They don’t have the resources to train during the disasters. A．Donate to an organization you can trust. B．These items are expensive to transport to shelters. C．Spend time caring for families and individuals at shelters. D．Then，they will follow up if they are in need of volunteers. E．However，you have to begin this process long before any disaster hits. F．Turn your dollars into toys and entertainment choices for kids of all ages. G．Here are some tips you can follow to help people in need in the most wise ways. 1．答案　G 解析　根据空前一句可知，错误的捐赠只会花费慈善机构宝贵的金钱来储存积压的物资，这就是为什么衣物可能不是你捐赠的最佳途径。再结合下文提到的四个建议，可推知设空处应给人们一些捐赠或帮助有需要的人的建议。故选G。 2．答案　F 解析　根据空前一句和空后一句可推知，设空处应建议捐赠者买一些玩具和零食等给孩子们。toys是关键词。故选F。 3．答案　D 解析　根据空前两句可推知，下文应陈述如果他们需要你擅长领域的志愿者就会和你联系。故选D。 4．答案　C 解析　设空处为本段主旨句。根据下文内容可知，本段的建议是花时间和受灾群众待在一起，陪伴他们度过艰难时刻。Spend time是关键词。故选C。 5．答案　E 解析　根据空前一句和空后一句可推知，设空处应陈述想要成为志愿者，应该在灾难前进行训练，这样才能在灾难来临时给予帮助。E项的this process指代上文提到的Become a volunteer且符合上下文语境。故选E。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
