文章以时间顺序展开(飓风发生时、飓风过后、几天后、一年后4个阶段),以一个孩子的视角讲述了全家人遭遇飓风的经历。作者的情感变化贯穿了整篇文章:飓风发生时的恐惧(frightened)→飓风过后的担忧(worried)和充满希望(hopeful)→几天后得救的喜悦(happy)→一年后重建家园的乐观心态(optimistic)。文章文笔细腻,运用了大量的情感词汇来描述各个阶段的心理活动变化和作者积极乐观的人生态度。在读后续写中,我们也要善于捕捉心理细节来丰富作文内容。

For decades,climate scientists have named hurricanes and ranked them according to the damage. “Naming and categorizing (把……归类) heat waves is also a must,” states a newly formed international union,called the Extreme Heat Resilience Alliance.“Hurricanes get attention because they cause obvious physical damage,” says Jennifer Marlon,a climate scientist at Yale University.Heat waves,however,have less evident effects,since the primary damage is to human health.
Heat waves kill more people in the United States than any other weatherrelated disaster.Data from the National Weather Service show that from 1986 to 2019,there were 4,257 deaths as a result of heat waves.By comparison,there were fewer deaths by floods (2,907),tornadoes (2,203) or hurricanes (1,405) over the same period.What's more,climate change is increasing the possibility of high temperature events worldwide,getting tens of thousands of people dying each year because of heat.
Some populations are particularly easily harmed by high heat,including people over 65 and those with potential medical conditions.Historical racial discrimination also puts minority communities at higher risk.Due to housing policies,they are more likely to live in urban areas,heat islands which lack green spaces that help cool down neighborhoods.
Part of the naming and ranking process will include defining exactly what a heat wave is.No single definition currently exists.Without a universally accepted definition of a heat wave,“We don't have a common understanding of the danger we face,” says Aaron Bernstein,an expert of the new group.“Defined categories for heat waves could help local officials better prepare to deal with potential health problems in the face of rising temperatures.And naming and categorizing heat waves could increase public awareness of the health risks caused by these silent killers.”
The union is having conversations with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,the World Meteorological Organization and other institutions to develop a standard naming and ranking practice.

A.They also kill lives like hurricanes.
B.They should have names like hurricanes.
C.Climate change is affecting them greatly.

Rivers are very important.Humans rely on them for food and water.But rivers can destroy things,too.They can flood,or rise over their banks,making the water run into the nearby land. Floods can also kill humans and wildlife.However,floods are not always bad.Some ecosystems need them every once in a while.
Flooding can not only drown animals but also destroy habitats.For example,a flood in India in 2012 killed many onehorned rhinos.Flood waters can pick up dirt from riverbanks,which makes the water dirty.Too much dirt will clog rivers and streams,preventing the river from flowing. Sometimes flood waters can carry pollution to the sea and harm marine life.In addition,flood waters can carry disease,including hepatitis A (甲型肝炎,甲肝) and cholera (霍乱).
However,not everything about floods is bad.Sometimes they bring new life to ecosystems. Flood waters carry nutrients to the nearby land.Over time,the water dries up and leaves behind particles (微粒) of dirt and mud.The particles are called sediment(沉淀物) which can be good due to its ability to improve the dirt and helps plants grow.Floods are important to some animals as well.For instance,some animals see floods as a sign that it is time to mate or migrate.Floods leave sediment on river beds where baby fish can grow and carry nutrients for small animals in the water to eat.Moreover,in dry seasons,water might dry up,but floods help refill the wetlands,keeping the ecosystem going.
Floods are a part of nature.They can destroy living things and the environment. But some ecosystems need floods to survive.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了作为大自然的一部分,洪水对于生态系统既有好处也有坏处。
5.What's the possible meaning of the underlined word “clog” in Paragraph 2?
A.Become.
B.Pollute.
C.Block.
D.Develop.
解析:选C。词义猜测题。根据第二段中画线词所在句以及前一句可知,洪水会沿途吸收泥土,而太多的泥土会堵塞河道,以至于河水流淌出现困难。由此可推测此处的clog的意思应该是“堵塞”。故选C。
6.How do floods help ecosystems?
A.Nutrients carried by floods can make soil richer.
B.Floods make all the animals migrate more easily.
C.Tiny fish going with floods feed some animals.
D.Floods can improve the dirt and help plants grow.
解析:选A。细节理解题。根据第三段中的前四句可知,洪水沿途所携带的营养物质可以使土壤更丰富,从而更好地帮助生态系统。故选A。
7.What's the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A.The way in which floods feed animals.
B.The benefits of floods to ecosystems.
C.An effective means of improving soil.
D.The reason for people's appreciating floods.
解析:选B。段落大意题。根据第三段中的第一句和“Floods are important to some animals as well.”以及最后一句可知,本段主要讲的是洪水对于生态系统的好处。故选B。
8.What's the best title of this article?
A.The Many Effects of Flooding
B.The Secret of Flooding
C.Floods—Not Everything Is So Bad
D.Floods—a Part of Nature
解析:选D。标题归纳题。通读全文可知,文章前两段主要讲洪水对于生态系统不利的方面,第三段主要讲洪水对于生态系统的益处,文章最后一段总结全文,点明主题——洪水是大自然的一部分。所以“洪水是大自然的一部分”作为标题最合适。故选D。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五(每题2分,共10分)
Unlike hurricanes or floods,earthquakes happen without warning and are usually followed by similar aftershocks,although the aftershocks are usually less powerful than the quake.If you find yourself in the middle of an earthquake,there's often only a short time to decide what to do.1. · Drop to the ground.The drop,cover,and hold on technique is the cousin of the famous “stop,drop and roll” for fires.While it's not the only method of protecting yourself indoors during an earthquake,it is the preferred method of the Red Cross.Big earthquakes occur without much,if any,warning.2. A small earthquake could turn into a big earthquake in a splitsecond; it's better to be safe than sorry.
· Take cover.Get under a firm table or other pieces of furniture.3. If there isn't a table or desk near you,cover your face and head with your arms and crouch (蜷缩) in an inside corner of the building.
·Hold on.4. Hold on to whatever surface or platform you've gotten under and wait for the shaking to stop.If you were unable to find a surface to hide under,continue to keep your head protected by your arms and tucked (躲藏,隐藏) down low.
·5. Researchers have shown that most injuries happen when people try to change the place of hiding or when the place is crowded and everyone has a goal to get outside safe.
A.Stay inside until it's safe to get out.
B.In that case,move to the nearest safe place.
C.Stairs are dangerous places to walk during an earthquake.
D.So it's recommended that you drop to the floor as soon as it hits.
E.If possible,stay away from windows and anything that could fall.
F.The ground maybe shaking and pieces of wood or brick could be falling.
G.Studying the following advice could be the difference between life and death.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几条地震时该如何应对的建议。
1.解析:选G。空前一句说明地震时决定该做什么的时间很短,G项“研究以下建议可能是生与死的区别”承接上文,引出下文的具体建议,符合题意。故选G。
2.解析:选D。本段主题句“Drop to the ground.”说明本段给出的建议是卧倒在地,D项中drop to the floor是关键短语,D项“所以建议地震一发生你就卧倒在地”符合本段主旨且承上启下。故选D。
3.解析:选E。本段主题句“Take cover.”说明本段给出的建议是躲起来,空前一句说明躲起来时应注意的事项,E项“如果可能的话,远离窗户和任何可能坠落的物体”继续介绍躲起来时的注意事项,符合题意。故选E。
4.解析:选F。空后一句说明要待在相对安全的地方,等待震动停止,F项“地面可能会晃动,木块或砖块可能会掉落”解释下文动作的原因,符合题意。故选F。
5.解析:选A。空后一句说明大多数伤害发生在人们试图改变躲藏的地点或者每个人都想出去时,A项“待在里面,直到出去是安全的”说明在确认安全之前要待在里面,引出下文内容,符合题意。故选A。
