Unit2 Natural Disasters 单元测试卷 （满分：120分 时间：100分钟） 第I卷 选择题 一、阅读理解（每题2.5分，共50分） A Bored with Japan, South Korea or Thailand? Europe, Australia and America are no longer thrilling names to be heard? Which place is most worth visiting? Here is a list of Top Three Recommendations, and you may have an idea. Bhutan The Kingdom of Bhutan, located on the Silk Road in South Asia, claimed (声称) the No. 1 spot partly for its grand beauty and because it is set to become the f irst fully organic nation by 2020. The kingdom has lush subtropical plains (平原) in the south and Himalayan mountains in the north. If you enjoy mountain climbing, Bhutan is a great tourist destination. England While tourists may flood to Big Ben and Buckingham Palace, we suggest visitors should travel to England’s coastal towns instead. The English seaside gives locals and visitors the chance to search for ocean life in rock pools, f ind fossils in cliffs (悬崖) — and of course, eat f ish and chips. In 2020, new sections of the England Coast Path will continue to open, making it easier to explore the country’s coastline. North Macedonia If you want an alternative to Europe’s more popular travel spots, North Macedonia could be for you. Its mountain trails are “blissfully quiet”, and the locals are “unfailingly helpful”. Among its destinations is Ohrid, a charming, old town dotted with medieval ruins and churches, lined with cobblestone streets, and overlooking Lake Ohrid. 1．If you want to enjoy historical sites and culture, you are supposed to visit ________. A．Bhutan B．England C．North Macedonia D．North Korea 2．Which is special about Bhutan? A．Life there is harmonious (和谐的) and happy. B．It has the highest mountain in the world. C．It is the best recommended place to visit. D．It is the f irst fully organic nation. 3．Why is England listed among Top Three Recommendations? A．Because some medieval ruins and churches are impressive. B．Because the new sections of the England Coast Path are available (可进入的). C．Because the appreciation of Big Ben and Buckingham Palace is unique. D．Because the exploration of sea life and taste of sea food are enjoyable. B Storm Dennis, the second-strongest nontropical storm on record in the North Atlantic Ocean, caused widespread flooding across parts of the United Kingdom this week, along with winds more powerful than hurricane force. The storm, which is producing waves up to 80 feet tall west of the United Kingdom, dumped (倾倒) more than f ive inches of rain in South Wales, almost an inch more than the area typically receives for the entire month of February. The resulting flooding has caused numerous moves and even cut off some communities. The UK Met Off ice, which named the storm, issued its f irst “red” warning for heavy rainfall since 2015, its highest warning category (种类). The country’s Environment Agency issued a record number of flood warnings, 594, for a single day, according to John Curtin, executive director of flood and coastal risk management at the Environment Agency. While the rainfall totals were worth noticing, they were not the f irst in history. However, coming just one week after another severe storm, known in the United Kingdom as Storm Ciara, the ground was already saturated when this one arrived. This caused many rivers and streams to overflow their banks and even triggered (触发) landslides. Several severe flood warnings were issued, meaning the conditions posed life-threatening danger. Gwent County police said residents of Skenfrith, Monmouthshire, were advised to move because of the flooding. 4．What is the main idea of paragraph 2? A．The destructive power of Storm Dennis. B．The recordings of Storm Dennis. C．The disadvantages of Storm Dennis. D．The introduction of Storm Dennis. 5．Which is NOT true about Storm Dennis? A．It is the second-strongest storm in the North Atlantic Ocean. B．It produced f ierce waves and heavy rainfall. C．It was named by the UK Met Off ice. D．There used to be other rainfall totals like these in history. 6．The underlined word “saturated” in paragraph 4 means “________”. A．seriously destroyed B．completely wet C．totally f illed D．heavily hurt 7．The passage probably comes from ________. A．an international magazine B．a newspaper report C．a climate journal D．a weather research C Some scientists have traced the increase in earthquakes, especially in areas not known for the presence of fault lines or past seismic (地震的) activity, to human actions. The idea of humans causing earthquakes may seem strange at first. After all, you can run around your backyard and jump up and down as you want, and the ground isn’t going to start shaking. However, scientists have identified a variety of large scale human activities that can result in earthquakes. Scientists have confirmed over 700 places where human activities have caused earthquakes over the last century. While many human-related earthquakes are mild and don’t cause much damage, some of them can be serious and dangerous. In fact, scientists believe human activity has caused earthquakes with magnitudes as high as 7.9 on the Richter scale. Scientists believe most human-related earthquakes are the result of mining. As companies drill deeper and deeper below Earth’s surface to get natural resources, holes left behind can cause instability that leads to collapses that cause earthquakes. Another human activity leading to earthquakes is fracking (水力压裂) for oil and gas, including the high pressure waste water processing that usually goes with fracking. In this process, water, sand and chemicals are pressed underground under high pressure to break rocks to release natural resources. Building large dams can also cause earthquakes. For example, about 80, 000 people died in China in 2008 as a result of a 7.9-magnitude earthquake caused by 320 million tons of water that had been collected in the Zipingpu Reservoir after a large dam was built over a known fault line. These aren’t the only human activities that can result in earthquakes, though. Scientists point out that earthquakes can also be caused by other human activities, such as construction of skyscrapers and nuclear explosions. 8．What does the underlined part “fault lines” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A．Regions with active human actions. B．Places associated with natural balance. C．Zones where natural resources are rich. D．Areas where earthquakes tend to happen. 9．What do mining and oil producing have in common? A．They break the balance of nature. B．They destroy the stability of rocks. C．They use high pressure to get resources. D．They do much damage to Earth’s surface. 10．What can be inferred from Paragraph 4? A．The 2008 earthquake is the worst in history. B．Construction of dams should be stopped. C．Tons of water must cause earthquakes. D．The location of a dam matters much. 11．What does the text mainly tell us? A．Nature punishes humans by means of earthquakes. B．Progress has been made on earthquake research. C．Humans are to blame for some earthquakes. D．Earthquakes are no longer nature-made. D What is the greatest threat to mankind? Maybe different people come up with different answers. However, there is no denying the fact that the only threat to humankind, apart from humankind itself, is, without any doubt, the nature. Natural disasters are the result of natural environmental processes that have a damaging effect on people. Natural disasters can come in many forms: such as geological events like earthquakes, tsunamis or mud-rock flows, climatic events like storms, hurricanes or tornadoes and fire events like forest fires and wildfires. The damage done by natural disasters is mainly as a result of our inability to predict exactly when they will happen. Although great progress has been made in designing and developing forecasting models for some natural disaster, complete certainty is still impossible. Even to be pessimistic there is a possibility that human beings will never achieve accurate prediction of the happening of all natural disasters. What's more, even though we were able to predict these disasters from nature, preventing them is equally impossible. So we only have two ways to both prevent injuries or deaths and reduce economic losses to the least. These two methods are to prepare before a natural disaster comes to hit, and to manage the necessary resources and public services after a natural disaster strikes. These two things have always been at the leading position of the projects of both national governments and international organizations. In the United States, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is responsible for the "preparedness, response and recovery planning" of both man-made and natural disasters. Most natural disasters cannot be prevented, and both emergency preparation and good disaster management are the best ways to deal with them. Although natural events may appear to serve no purpose but simply to punish and destroy, natural disasters, a perfect symbol of the great power of the nature, are display of our planet's evolution and its state of change. 12．Which can't be regarded as a similarity between tornadoes and earthquakes? A．They can not be prevented. B．They are both geological events. C．They cause damage to people. D．They are both the result of natural environmental processes. 13．The reason why natural disasters cause so much damage is that ________. A．it is very difficult to predict when exactly they will happen B．our forecasting equipment is too old for many natural disasters C．we don't do enough preparation before natural disasters strike D．we don't have the necessary public services to use after natural disasters strike 14．It may be concluded from the passage that ________. A．natural disasters can not be predicted at all B．human beings are pessimistic to the future C．being well-prepared can avoid economic losses D．good preparation and disaster management are advisable. 15．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．a symbol of the power of nature B．the greatest threat to mankind C．Natural disasters and mankind D．reduce losses to the least 七选五阅读 Floods can strike quickly and with little waning in many parts of the world. Surviving a flood is a matter of preparation and correct action as soon as the disaster begins. 16 . ●Make a flood survival plan. 17 . Pick several meeting spots in case you need to leave home, such as a friend’s home in a safe town or a shelter in your area. Make sure everyone in the family know where these locations are and how to get there. Make sure the shelters and the routes to them are through high ground. ●Escape flood waters. You may have only a short time to escape. Act quickly, using your planned route. Head to the chosen shelters during flood warnings. When emergency services tell you to leave, follow their advice. Move to higher ground away from water. Whether you are on foot or have to give up your car, higher ground is your best option. If you’re stuck at home, head for the roof if you can do so safely. Avoid crossing through water. Water up to your ankles (脚踝) is enough to be dangerous. When you’re not sure of the water depth, don’t risk it. 18 . Use it to measure the water’s depth and feel for stable (稳固的) ground. ●Follow news and warnings. Flooding information can be found on your local news or weather station’s TV channel or website. 19 . Also, listen to local radio stations for regular updates. ● 20 . Roads and other paths may have been destroyed. Stay off bridges. The soil under usual routes will be soft and less able to support the weight of vehicles. Find other routes over high ground or wait for the authorities to indicate which roads are safe. A．Watch out for damaged areas B．Protect your home during a flood C．If you have to go through water, bring a stick D．Sit down with your family to establish a plan of action E．If your car gets stuck in water, open or break the windows F．Here are some tips to help you and your family survive a flood G．You should receive weather information to monitor changes in the weather 第II卷 非选择题 二、完形填空（每题1分，共15分） Hurricane Ian hit Florida and brought with it flooding, winds and a record high storm.

Since 2011, the country 36 （grow）more corn than rice. Corn production has jumped nearly 125 percent over 37 past 25 years, while rice has increased only 7 percent. A taste for meat is 38 (actual) behind the change: An important part of its corn is used to feed chickens, pigs, and cattle. Another reason for corn's rise: The government encourages farmers to grow corn instead of rice 39 (improve) water quality. Corn uses less water 40 rice and creates less fertilizer(化肥) runoff. This switch has decreased 41 (pollute) in the country's major lakes and reservoirs and made drinking water safer for people. According to the World Bank, China accounts for about 30 percent of total 42 (globe)fertilizer consumption. The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture finds that between 2005—when the government 43 (start) a soil-testing program 44 gives specific fertilizer recommendations to farmers - and 2011, fertilizer use dropped by 7.7 million tons. That prevented the emission(排放) of 51.8 million tons of carbon dioxide. China's approach to protecting its environment while 45 (feed) its citizens "offers useful lessons for agriculture and food policymakers worldwide." says the bank's Juergen Voegele. 四、应用文写作（本题15分） 假定你是李华，你的同班同学李明的家乡遭受台风袭击，请你给他写一封慰问信。内容包括： 1. 对该同学表示关心、慰问和鼓励； 2. 向其提供一些帮助（自由发挥）。 注意： 1. 词数 80 左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3. 开头语和结束语已为你写好，不计入总词数。 Dear Li Ming, We’re so sorry to hear that a horrible typhoon hit your hometown and that your house is in ruins. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 五、读后续写（本题25分） 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。 I looked forward to a visit with my mom, who lived 2,000 miles from my home in California. Since Mom was 80 and suffered from Alzheimer’s (阿兹海默症), I realized how important it was to see her again soon. Mom received loving care from the Sister Servants of Christ the King at a 40-bed, basic-care facility (场所) in Edgeley, North Dakota. She lived in a simple room, spent most of her day doing simple things, and seemed to be “all right, “considering that dementia (痴呆) had set in. When Mom came in, I smiled, hugged and kissed her, and said, “Nice to see you, Mom.” She didn’t recognize who I was! I was shocked. Stressed out, I spent several hours trying to connect with my mother—talking with her, walking around the grounds, looking at family pictures in her room, chatting with the nuns (修女) —doing whatever I could think of to help Mom recognize her son. I hoped for a recognition “wonder”. But nothing I said or did worked, I was very annoyed. The next morning, I suddenly had an idea. I thought of something that might stir her memory (记忆).I thought of strawberry milkshake (草莓奶昔). Yes, strawberry milkshake in Edgeley, North Dakota. So I took Mom to the Edgeley Coffee Shop. I wanted to treat her here. While Mom was looking at the menu, I took Sandy, the waitress, aside, quietly told her of Mom’s dementia condition and my plan to recall her long-term memory, and ordered two strawberry milkshakes. The first paragraph: When Sandy delivered the milkshakes, I was too nervous to say a word. The second paragraph: There’s a simple explanation for Mom’s memory. 注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。 _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 / 10 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit2 Natural Disasters 单元测试卷 （满分：120分 时间：100分钟） 第I卷 选择题 一、阅读理解（每题2.5分，共50分） A Bored with Japan, South Korea or Thailand?

A．It is the second-strongest storm in the North Atlantic Ocean. B．It produced f ierce waves and heavy rainfall. C．It was named by the UK Met Off ice. D．There used to be other rainfall totals like these in history. 6．The underlined word “saturated” in paragraph 4 means “________”. A．seriously destroyed B．completely wet C．totally f illed D．heavily hurt 7．The passage probably comes from ________. A．an international magazine B．a newspaper report C．a climate journal D．a weather research 【答案】4．A 5．A 6．B 7．B 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了名为Dennis的风暴给英国部分地区造成了大范围洪水和强风的影响。 4．主旨大意题。根据第二段“The storm, which is producing waves up to 80 feet tall west of the United Kingdom, dumped (倾倒) more than f ive inches of rain in South Wales, almost an inch more than the area typically receives for the entire month of February. The resulting flooding has caused numerous moves and even cut off some communities.(这场风暴在英国西部产生了高达80英尺的巨浪，在南威尔士倾倒了超过5英寸的雨水，比该地区整个2月通常的降水量多出近1英寸。由此产生的洪水导致了许多人的搬迁，甚至切断了一些社区的联系)”可知，本段主要介绍了Dennis风暴的破坏力，它带来了巨浪、暴雨以及由此产生的洪水等灾害。故选A项。 5．细节理解题。根据第一段“Storm Dennis, the second-strongest nontropical storm on record in the North Atlantic Ocean, caused widespread flooding across parts of the United Kingdom this week, along with winds more powerful than hurricane force.(Dennis风暴是北大西洋有记录以来第二强的非热带风暴，本周在英国部分地区造成大范围洪水，并伴有比飓风更强的风力)”可知，Dennis风暴是北大西洋有记录以来第二强的“非热带”风暴，而非第二强的风暴，选项A“It is the second-strongest storm in the North Atlantic Ocean.(这是北大西洋第二大风暴)”说法错误。故选A项。 6．词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“This caused many rivers and streams to overflow their banks and even triggered (触发) landslides.(这导致许多河流和小溪泛滥，甚至引发了山体滑坡)”可知，由于地面已经“完全湿透”，所以风暴到来时才会导致河流泛滥和山体滑坡。故划线词saturated意思是“完全湿透的”与completely wet同义。故选B项。 7．推理判断题。文章第一段“Storm Dennis, the second-strongest nontropical storm on record in the North Atlantic Ocean, caused widespread flooding across parts of the United Kingdom this week, along with winds more powerful than hurricane force.(Dennis风暴是北大西洋有记录以来第二强的非热带风暴，本周在英国部分地区造成大范围洪水，并伴有比飓风更强的风力)”符合新闻报道导语的特点，简要概括了新闻事件内容，结合第三段中“The country’s Environment Agency issued a record number of flood warnings, 594, for a single day, according to John Curtin, executive director of flood and coastal risk management at the Environment Agency.(该国环境署洪水和海岸风险管理执行主任约翰•科廷表示，该国环境署在一天内发布了创纪录的594次洪水预警)”引用新闻事件相关人员的发言可推知，文章主要报道了Dennis风暴给英国带来的影响，包括暴雨、洪水等灾害情况，这属于新闻报道的范畴，很可能出自一份报纸报道。故选B项。 C Some scientists have traced the increase in earthquakes, especially in areas not known for the presence of fault lines or past seismic (地震的) activity, to human actions. The idea of humans causing earthquakes may seem strange at first. After all, you can run around your backyard and jump up and down as you want, and the ground isn’t going to start shaking. However, scientists have identified a variety of large scale human activities that can result in earthquakes. Scientists have confirmed over 700 places where human activities have caused earthquakes over the last century. While many human-related earthquakes are mild and don’t cause much damage, some of them can be serious and dangerous.

These aren’t the only human activities that can result in earthquakes, though. Scientists point out that earthquakes can also be caused by other human activities, such as construction of skyscrapers and nuclear explosions. 8．What does the underlined part “fault lines” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A．Regions with active human actions. B．Places associated with natural balance. C．Zones where natural resources are rich. D．Areas where earthquakes tend to happen. 9．What do mining and oil producing have in common? A．They break the balance of nature. B．They destroy the stability of rocks. C．They use high pressure to get resources. D．They do much damage to Earth’s surface. 10．What can be inferred from Paragraph 4? A．The 2008 earthquake is the worst in history. B．Construction of dams should be stopped. C．Tons of water must cause earthquakes. D．The location of a dam matters much. 11．What does the text mainly tell us? A．Nature punishes humans by means of earthquakes. B．Progress has been made on earthquake research. C．Humans are to blame for some earthquakes. D．Earthquakes are no longer nature-made. 【答案】8．D 9．B 10．D 11．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍的是一些地震是人类活动造成的，并介绍了哪些人类活动会造成地震。 8．词义猜测题。根据画线短语句中“past seismic (地震的) activity”(过去的地震活动)和“to human actions”(人类行为)可知，科学家追踪的是由人类活动引起的地震，而不是一些容易发生地震的地区，“or”前后的“fault lines”和“past seismic (地震的) activity”为选择关系，由此可知，“fault lines”指的也是一些容易发生地震的地区。故选D项。 9．推理判断题。根据第三段关键句“As companies drill deeper and deeper below Earth’s surface to get natural resources, holes left behind can cause instability that leads to collapses that cause earthquakes.”(随着公司在地球表面下越来越深地钻探以获取自然资源，留下的洞可能导致不稳定，导致崩塌，引发地震。)可知，采矿留下的洞可能导致岩石不稳定，引发地震；再根据第三段关键句“In this process, water, sand and chemicals are pressed underground under high pressure to break rocks to release natural resources.”(在这个过程中，水、沙子和化学物质在高压下被压入地下，以破碎岩石，释放自然资源。)可知，石油生产使用的高压破碎岩石，导致岩石不稳定，引发地震，由此可知，采矿和石油生产的共同点在于它们破坏了岩石的稳定性。故选B项。 10．推理判断题。根据第四段内容“Building large dams can also cause earthquakes. For example, about 80, 000 people died in China in 2008 as a result of a 7.9-magnitude earthquake caused by 320 million tons of water that had been collected in the Zipingpu Reservoir after a large dam was built over a known fault line.”(建造大型水坝也会引起地震。例如，2008年，中国发生了7.9级地震，造成约8万人死亡。这场地震是由于紫坪铺水库在一条已知断层线上修建了一座大型水坝后，收集了3.2亿吨水造成的。)可知，紫坪铺水库在一条已知断层线上修建了一座大型水坝，引发了地震，由此可知，大坝的位置非常重要，不应该建在断层线上。故选D项。 11．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段关键句“Scientists have confirmed over 700 places where human activities have caused earthquakes over the last century.”(科学家们已经确认了上个世纪人类活动造成地震的700多个地方。)可知，本文主要介绍的是一些地震是人类活动造成的，并介绍了哪些人类活动会造成地震，“Humans are to blame for some earthquakes”意为“有些地震是人类造成的”，选项能够概括文章主要内容。故选C项。 D What is the greatest threat to mankind? Maybe different people come up with different answers. However, there is no denying the fact that the only threat to humankind, apart from humankind itself, is, without any doubt, the nature. Natural disasters are the result of natural environmental processes that have a damaging effect on people. Natural disasters can come in many forms: such as geological events like earthquakes, tsunamis or mud-rock flows, climatic events like storms, hurricanes or tornadoes and fire events like forest fires and wildfires. The damage done by natural disasters is mainly as a result of our inability to predict exactly when they will happen. Although great progress has been made in designing and developing forecasting models for some natural disaster, complete certainty is still impossible. Even to be pessimistic there is a possibility that human beings will never achieve accurate prediction of the happening of all natural disasters. What's more, even though we were able to predict these disasters from nature, preventing them is equally impossible. So we only have two ways to both prevent injuries or deaths and reduce economic losses to the least. These two methods are to prepare before a natural disaster comes to hit, and to manage the necessary resources and public services after a natural disaster strikes. These two things have always been at the leading position of the projects of both national governments and international organizations. In the United States, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is responsible for the "preparedness, response and recovery planning" of both man-made and natural disasters. Most natural disasters cannot be prevented, and both emergency preparation and good disaster management are the best ways to deal with them. Although natural events may appear to serve no purpose but simply to punish and destroy, natural disasters, a perfect symbol of the great power of the nature, are display of our planet's evolution and its state of change. 12．Which can't be regarded as a similarity between tornadoes and earthquakes? A．They can not be prevented. B．They are both geological events. C．They cause damage to people. D．They are both the result of natural environmental processes. 13．The reason why natural disasters cause so much damage is that ________. A．it is very difficult to predict when exactly they will happen B．our forecasting equipment is too old for many natural disasters C．we don't do enough preparation before natural disasters strike D．we don't have the necessary public services to use after natural disasters strike 14．It may be concluded from the passage that ________. A．natural disasters can not be predicted at all B．human beings are pessimistic to the future C．being well-prepared can avoid economic losses D．good preparation and disaster management are advisable. 15．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．a symbol of the power of nature B．the greatest threat to mankind C．Natural disasters and mankind D．reduce losses to the least 【答案】12．B 13．A 14．D 15．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了自然灾害是人类最大的威胁，人类面对自然能灾害最佳的处理办法就是应急准备和良好的灾害管理。 12．细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句“Natural disasters can come in many forms: such as geological events like earthquakes, tsunamis or mud-rock flows, climatic events like storms, hurricanes or tornadoes and fire events like forest fires and wildfires.”(自然灾害有多种形式:比如地质事件，像地震、海啸或泥石流;气候事件，像风暴、飓风或龙卷风;火灾事件，像森林火灾和野火。)可知，龙卷风和地震属于不同的灾害类型，所以它们都是地质事件不能作为是它们的相似之处。故选B项。 13．细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句“The damage done by natural disasters is mainly as a result of our inability to predict exactly when they will happen.”(自然灾害造成的破坏主要是由于我们无法准确预测它们何时发生。)可知，自然灾害造成如此大的破坏的原因是很难准确预测它们何时会发生。故选A项。 14．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段第一句“Most natural disasters cannot be prevented, and both emergency preparation and good disaster management are the best ways to deal with them.”(大多数自然灾害是无法预防的，应急准备和良好的灾害管理都是对付这些灾害的最佳办法。)可知，人类面临自然灾害时做好准备和灾害管理的办法是可取的。故选D项。 15．主旨大意题。文章主要第一段主要讲述了人类面临自然灾害的种类；第二自然段主要讲述了自然灾害造成如此大的破坏的原因；第三、四及五自然段主要讲述了人类对付这些灾害的两种最佳办法；可知，自然灾害和人类最适合作为文章的标题。故选C项。 七选五阅读 Floods can strike quickly and with little waning in many parts of the world. Surviving a flood is a matter of preparation and correct action as soon as the disaster begins. 16 . ●Make a flood survival plan. 17 . Pick several meeting spots in case you need to leave home, such as a friend’s home in a safe town or a shelter in your area. Make sure everyone in the family know where these locations are and how to get there. Make sure the shelters and the routes to them are through high ground. ●Escape flood waters. You may have only a short time to escape. Act quickly, using your planned route. Head to the chosen shelters during flood warnings. When emergency services tell you to leave, follow their advice. Move to higher ground away from water. Whether you are on foot or have to give up your car, higher ground is your best option. If you’re stuck at home, head for the roof if you can do so safely. Avoid crossing through water. Water up to your ankles (脚踝) is enough to be dangerous. When you’re not sure of the water depth, don’t risk it. 18 . Use it to measure the water’s depth and feel for stable (稳固的) ground. ●Follow news and warnings. Flooding information can be found on your local news or weather station’s TV channel or website. 19 . Also, listen to local radio stations for regular updates. ● 20 . Roads and other paths may have been destroyed. Stay off bridges. The soil under usual routes will be soft and less able to support the weight of vehicles. Find other routes over high ground or wait for the authorities to indicate which roads are safe. A．Watch out for damaged areas B．Protect your home during a flood C．If you have to go through water, bring a stick D．Sit down with your family to establish a plan of action E．If your car gets stuck in water, open or break the windows F．Here are some tips to help you and your family survive a flood G．You should receive weather information to monitor changes in the weather 【答案】16．F 17．D 18．C 19．G 20．A 【导语】本文是说明文，介绍了一些帮助人们在洪水中生存的建议。 16．上文“Surviving a flood is a combination of preparation and appropriate action as soon as the disaster begins.”（要想躲过洪水，一开始就得做好准备工作和采取适当的行动。）提到在洪水中生存准备工作和行动的重要性，下文给出了具体的建议，则设空处应该是承上启下的句子，F项“这里有一些帮助你和家人在洪水中生存的建议”能够承上启下，符合语意。故选F项。 17．下文“Pick several meeting spots in case you need to leave home, such as a friend’s home in a safe town or a shelter in your area.”（万一需要离开家，你得选几个见面的地点，比如去到在安全的城镇的朋友家，或是你所在区域的避难所。）提到制定全家人集合的安全地点，确保全家人知道地点在哪以及去的路线。D项“和你的家人坐下来制定一个行动计划”符合本段内容，引出下文。其中“establish a plan”和小标题“Make a flood survival plan.”一致；“Sit down with your family”和下文“Make sure everyone in the family knows”内容一致。故选D项。 18．上句“When you’re not sure of the water depth, don’t risk it.”（当你不确定水的深度时，就不要冒险。）指出不确定水深时不要贸然涉水，则设空处应该指出正确做法，C项“如果你必须涉水，就得携带一根棍子”指出必须涉水时正确做法是携带一根棍子，下文“Use it to measure the water’s depth and feel for stable (稳固的) ground.”（用棍子来测量水的深度，并感受地面是否稳定。）则解释了棍子的作用，其中it指代C项中的“a stick”。所以C项符合题意。故选C项。 19．上文“Flooding information can be found on your local news or weather station’s TV channel or website.”（有关洪水的消息可以在当地新闻或气象台的电视频道或网站上找到。）提到了解有关洪水的消息的渠道，G项“你应该收看天气预报，关注天气变化”进一步告诉我们要关注天气信息，了解变化。下文“Also, listen to local radio stations for regular updates.”（此外，定期收听当地电台的最新消息。）的“Also”承接G项内容，指出了解洪水信息的另一做法。所以G项符合题意。故选G项。 20．结合篇章结构可知，设空处是第四个小标题，是应对洪水的第四个建议。下文“Roads and other paths may have been destroyed. Stay off bridges. The soil under usual routes will be soft and less able to support the weight of vehicles. Find other routes over high ground or wait for the authorities to indicate which roads are safe.”（道路可能受损。远离桥梁。常规路线下的土壤会变软，难以支撑车辆的重量。我们应该在高地上寻找其他路线，或者等待当局指示哪些道路是安全的。）介绍洪水中的路况隐患和如何选择安全路线，A项“留意受灾区域”能够概括该段内容，下文“Roads and other paths may have been destroyed”与A项的“damaged areas”一致。所以A项符合题意。故选A项。 第II卷 非选择题 二、完形填空（每题1分，共15分） Hurricane Ian hit Florida and brought with it flooding, winds and a record high storm.

Since 2011, the country 36 （grow）more corn than rice. Corn production has jumped nearly 125 percent over 37 past 25 years, while rice has increased only 7 percent. A taste for meat is 38 (actual) behind the change: An important part of its corn is used to feed chickens, pigs, and cattle. Another reason for corn's rise: The government encourages farmers to grow corn instead of rice 39 (improve) water quality. Corn uses less water 40 rice and creates less fertilizer(化肥) runoff. This switch has decreased 41 (pollute) in the country's major lakes and reservoirs and made drinking water safer for people. According to the World Bank, China accounts for about 30 percent of total 42 (globe)fertilizer consumption. The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture finds that between 2005—when the government 43 (start) a soil-testing program 44 gives specific fertilizer recommendations to farmers - and 2011, fertilizer use dropped by 7.7 million tons. That prevented the emission(排放) of 51.8 million tons of carbon dioxide. China's approach to protecting its environment while 45 (feed) its citizens "offers useful lessons for agriculture and food policymakers worldwide." says the bank's Juergen Voegele. 【答案】 36．has grown 37．the 38．actually 39．to improve   40．than   41．pollution 42．global   43．started 44．that/which 45．feeding 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文中讲述了中国为保护环境在农作物种植上做了一些变化并得到了世界上的知名认识的认可。 36．考查时态。since加时间点，主句要用现在完成时。句意：2011年以来，中国种植的玉米比水稻多。故填has grown。 37．考查冠词。句意：玉米产量在过去25年里增长了近125%，而大米只增长了7%。故是特指在过去的25年里。故填the。 38．考查副词。句意：对肉的需求实际上是这种变化的背后原因。句子结构完整，用副词修饰句子。故填actually。 39．考查非谓语动词。句意：为了改善水质政府鼓励农民种植玉米而不是大米。没有连词可以且谓语动词是encourages，故improve应该用非谓语动词。此处表示目的，故用不定式。故填to improve。 40．考查连词。句意：玉米比大米使用的水更少。根据关键词less可知，填比较连词。故填than。 41．考查词性转换。句意：这一转变减少了中国较大的湖泊和水库的污染，使人们的饮用水更加安全。has decreased后跟名词作宾语，故填pollution。 42．考查词性转换。句意：中国约占全球化肥总消费量的30%。fertilizer consumption是名词短语，故应该用形容词修饰。故填global。 43．考查谓语动词。句意：在2005年政府开始了一项土壤测试项目。本句是when引导的定语从句，由于时间是2005年，故用过去时。故填started。 44．考查定语从句关系词。根据空后的谓语动词gives可知，该空缺少主语，指代program并且引导后面的句子。指物用that/which，故填that或者which。 45．考查省略句。句意：中国在养活了中国人民的同时又保护了环境。这一做法为全世界的农业和粮食政策制定人提供了很有用的经验。空格处表示正在进行的动作，while后面省略掉了China is，省略句的原则：在时间状语从句、条件状语从句、，让步状语从句中，如果从句的主语和主句的主语一致且含有be动词时，那么可以把主语和be动词一块省略。故填feeding。 点睛： 两个破折号中间只有一个定语从句，破折号中间的所有内容起到解释说明作用，本题中的是状语成分，when引导的是一个时间状语从句，状语从句中含有一个含空的定语从句。由于从句中须有一个谓语动词所以小题9看句意用过去时。 四、应用文写作（本题15分） 假定你是李华，你的同班同学李明的家乡遭受台风袭击，请你给他写一封慰问信。内容包括： 1. 对该同学表示关心、慰问和鼓励； 2. 向其提供一些帮助（自由发挥）。 注意： 1. 词数 80 左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3. 开头语和结束语已为你写好，不计入总词数。 Dear Li Ming, We’re so sorry to hear that a horrible typhoon hit your hometown and that your house is in ruins. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】 One possible version: Dear Li Ming, We’re so sorry to hear that a horrible typhoon hit your hometown and that your house is in ruins.

Since Mom was 80 and suffered from Alzheimer’s (阿兹海默症), I realized how important it was to see her again soon. Mom received loving care from the Sister Servants of Christ the King at a 40-bed, basic-care facility (场所) in Edgeley, North Dakota. She lived in a simple room, spent most of her day doing simple things, and seemed to be “all right, “considering that dementia (痴呆) had set in. When Mom came in, I smiled, hugged and kissed her, and said, “Nice to see you, Mom.” She didn’t recognize who I was! I was shocked. Stressed out, I spent several hours trying to connect with my mother—talking with her, walking around the grounds, looking at family pictures in her room, chatting with the nuns (修女) —doing whatever I could think of to help Mom recognize her son. I hoped for a recognition “wonder”. But nothing I said or did worked, I was very annoyed. The next morning, I suddenly had an idea. I thought of something that might stir her memory (记忆).I thought of strawberry milkshake (草莓奶昔). Yes, strawberry milkshake in Edgeley, North Dakota. So I took Mom to the Edgeley Coffee Shop. I wanted to treat her here. While Mom was looking at the menu, I took Sandy, the waitress, aside, quietly told her of Mom’s dementia condition and my plan to recall her long-term memory, and ordered two strawberry milkshakes. The first paragraph: When Sandy delivered the milkshakes, I was too nervous to say a word. The second paragraph: There’s a simple explanation for Mom’s memory. 注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。 _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】    When Sandy delivered the milkshakes, I was too nervous to say a word. My mother looked at me with the milkshake in her hand. I was a little bit disappointed, wondering what to do . I sat opposite my mother, drinking the strawberry milkshake as fast as I could, just as I was a child. She drank the milkshake slowly. After about three minutes, she stopped, looking at my empty cup, and then her full cup. And then she poured her milkshake into my cup ,saying，smiling,“Joseph, when did you come back here?” . There’s a simple explanation for Mom’s memory. When I was a kid, my family was not rich enough to buy more strawberries. Even so, father would buy some as strawberry milkshake was the favorite of both my mother and me. Every time mother made the strawberry milkshake, my family would sit around the table, drinking and chatting. In fact , mother was always watching me drinking the milkshake. If I drank up mine, she would pour hers into my cup. 【导语】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，作者80高龄的妈妈患了老年痴呆症。当作者去看望她时，她已经认不出儿子了。作者尝试了很多方法想帮助妈妈认出他，但是都不起作用。后来，作者突然有了一个想法，用草莓奶昔可能会唤起妈妈的记忆。于是到咖啡店里，告诉服务员Sandy关于妈妈老年痴呆的情况，并点了两份草莓奶昔。 【详解】续写部分分为两段，第1段开头是：当Sandy把草莓奶昔拿来时，作者紧张得说不出话来。接下来应该写观察妈妈看到自己喝草莓奶昔时的反应。作者像小时候一样，迅速把草莓奶昔喝完，妈妈就把她的奶昔倒进作者的杯子里。这时妈妈想起了作者的名字。 第2段开头是：关于妈妈的回忆，有一个简单的解释。下面应该写一件让妈妈回忆起儿子的印象深刻的事件。小时候，草莓奶昔是妈妈和作者都喜欢喝的。但是因为家境贫困，喝草莓奶昔的机会不多。每次家里喝草莓奶昔的时候，作者先喝完，妈妈就将自己的倒进作者的杯子里。是这个母爱的动作让妈妈想起了儿子。 续写时要注意所续写短文的词数应是150左右，按要求完成写作任务。 【点睛】本文续写内容合理，描写详略得当，重点突出，同时表达时也使用了很多高级词汇，如a little bit disappointed有点失望；opposite对面；as … as sb. can尽某人所能；just as正如；pour… into把…倒进；even so即使如此；favorite最喜欢的；sit around闲坐等；还运用了复杂的句式，如“with的复合结构”的运用with the milkshake in her hand；现在分词作伴随状语的运用I sat opposite my mother, drinking the strawberry milkshake；时间状语从句的运用 Every time mother made the strawberry milkshake, my family would sit around the table等。 1 / 18 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
