And now in the battle to stop this disaster, a radio station in Senegal, West Africa, is offering listeners 50 kilograms of rice if they can catch and kill 50 kilograms of locusts.“We think this idea will get more people to take part in the war on the locusts，” said Abdoulaye Ba, from Sud-FM, a radio station in one of Senegal's worst affected areas. This is West Africa's biggest locust disaster in 15 years, and it is moving east, causing huge damage to crops.As they move they produce young and increase their number and will soon threaten (威胁) Sudan in the northeast of Africa.Some say it could reach Asia. Experts say the harmful effect on crops in areas already suffering from food shortage and war could cause many people to go hungry.Governments in the areas are not well equipped to fight the pest. Although leaders of 12 countries have agreed on a plan, it is not expected to be enough.“We are now treating 6，000 hectares (公顷) per day with pesticide (杀虫剂), but we need to treat 20，000 hectares per day in order to have any hope of controlling this disaster，” said Mohamed Abdallahi Ould Babah, director of locust control in Mauritania. “Requests are being made for international aid, which is the only way to limit the disaster，” the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations warned. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了非洲部分地区的蝗灾的情况。 2 3 1 4 1．By using “dark cloud” to describe locusts in the first paragraph, the author of the article ． A．showed the relationship between rain and the locusts B．suggested the great damage locusts have caused in the world C．warned that locusts would sweep the continent like rain clouds D．showed the large number of the locusts D 推理判断题。文章第一段讲述了非洲部分地区被乌云笼罩。但这不是雨云。这是一团由数十亿只蝗虫组成的“活云”，它们正在穿越大陆，吃掉沿途的一切。由此可推知，作者用乌云来描述蝗虫是指蝗虫数量太多。故选D。 2 3 1 4 2．What is the text mainly about? A．West Africa's united effort in fighting a disaster. B．The difficulty in controlling locusts. C．How locusts caused great damage to West Africa. D．A struggle to fight against a disaster brought by locusts in West Africa. 答案：D 2 3 1 4 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“And now in the battle to stop this disaster, a radio station in Senegal, West Africa, is offering listeners 50 kilograms of rice if they can catch and kill 50 kilograms of locusts.”和倒数第二段以及最后一段可知，文章主要讲述了人们和蝗虫的对抗。故选D。 2 3 1 4 3．The locust disaster ． A．would be even more serious in Asia B．is out of control C．affected only the warning areas D．cannot be stopped unless twice as much pesticide is provided for the affected areas 2 3 1 4 B 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“‘We are now treating 6，000 hectares per day with pesticide, but we need to treat 20，000 hectares per day in order to have any hope of controlling this disaster”和最后一段可推知，蝗灾已经失去控制。故选B。 2 3 1 4 4．Which of the following is NOT true according to the text? A．Sud-FM offered a reward for fighting locusts so that more people would join in the effort. B．Senegal is to the west of Sudan. C．The locusts can cause such damage mainly because they have no natural enemies in West Africa. D．12 countries affected by locusts have agreed on a plan. 答案：C 2 3 1 4 细节理解题。根据第二段可知，塞内加尔广播电台为抗击蝗虫提供奖励，以便更多的人加入这项工作。所以选项A是正确的；根据第二段中的“And now in the battle to stop this disaster, a radio station in Senegal, West Africa, is offering...”和第三段中的“As they move they produce young and increase their number and will soon threaten Sudan in the northeast of Africa.(随着它们的迁移，它们生了幼崽并增加了数量，很快就会威胁到非洲东北部的苏丹)”可知，塞内加尔在苏丹的西边。所以选项B是正确的；根据第五段中的“Although leaders 2 3 1 4 of 12 countries have agreed on a plan, it is not expected to be enough.(尽管12个国家的领导人已经就一项计划达成一致，但预计这还不够)”可知，12个国家的领导人已经就一项计划达成一致。所以选项D是正确的；文章中没有提到C选项的信息，所以C是错误的。故选C。 2 3 1 4 Ⅴ.阅读七选五 [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了龙卷风的形成及其特点等相关信息。 1 2 3 4 Tornadoes Tornadoes are essentially funnels of air rotating as fast as 300 miles per hour.Of course, not all tornadoes are so dangerous. 1 Such small tornadoes occur in many places around the world. 5 1 2 3 4 A．Either big storms or small ones can form quickly, causing damage to some degree. B．These bring not only death and destruction, but also stories of strange phenomena. C．Many more are small storms that form quickly and disappear, causing little or no damage. D．A tornado can arrive so unexpectedly that a matter of seconds can mean the difference between life and death. 5 1 2 3 4 E．Driving the radar hundreds of miles to chase down a tornado is a best job that can be quite dangerous. F．What makes tornadoes so dangerous is not just their great power but also their unpredictable nature. G．Scientists often have to drive the radar hundreds of miles to chase down a tornado—a job that can be quite dangerous! 答案：C 5 根据下文“Such small tornadoes occur in many places around the world.”可知，此处应该提到了一些小型龙卷风。由此可知，C项“Many more are small storms that form quickly and disappear, causing little or no damage.(更多的是迅速形成并消失的小风暴，造成很少或没有损害)”能够衔接下文，符合语境。故选C。 1 2 3 4 5 It is, however, the big tornadoes that receive the most attention. 2 There can be flocks of dead birds dropping out of the sky, chickens still alive but with all of their feathers gone, pieces of straw stuck in trees.In a 1999 US storm, violent winds from one tornado lifted a church into the air and dropped it onto a house.In the same storm, a baby was whipped from its mother's arms and, miraculously, found alive in a nearby tree. 1 2 3 4 5 A．Either big storms or small ones can form quickly, causing damage to some degree. B．These bring not only death and destruction, but also stories of strange phenomena. C．Many more are small storms that form quickly and disappear, causing little or no damage. D．A tornado can arrive so unexpectedly that a matter of seconds can mean the difference between life and death. 1 2 3 4 5 E．Driving the radar hundreds of miles to chase down a tornado is a best job that can be quite dangerous. F．What makes tornadoes so dangerous is not just their great power but also their unpredictable nature. G．Scientists often have to drive the radar hundreds of miles to chase down a tornado—a job that can be quite dangerous! 答案：B 1 2 3 4 5 根据上文“It is, however, the big tornadoes that receive the most attention.”和下文“There can be flocks of dead birds dropping out of the sky, chickens still alive but with all of their feathers gone, pieces of straw stuck in trees.”及常识可知，大型龙卷风会造成死亡和破坏，从而备受关注，还会造成一些奇怪的现象。由此可知，B项“These bring not only death and destruction, but also stories of strange phenomena.(这些不仅带来了死亡和破坏，还带来了奇怪现象的故事)”能够承上启下，符合语境，下文“成群的死鸟从天上掉下来，鸡还活着，但羽毛都掉光了，稻草片卡在树上”就是一些奇怪的现象。故选B。 1 2 3 4 5 3 Although scientists now know a great deal about tornadoes, they still cannot determine exactly when and where one will form.In addition, the path of a tornado can also be impossible to predict.It is unlikely to move in a straight line, and will often turn quickly.A tornado might blow down a line of houses, then suddenly lift up and leave one home unhurt, then touch back down and destroy the rest of the line. 1 2 3 4 5 A．Either big storms or small ones can form quickly, causing damage to some degree. B．These bring not only death and destruction, but also stories of strange phenomena. C．Many more are small storms that form quickly and disappear, causing little or no damage. D．A tornado can arrive so unexpectedly that a matter of seconds can mean the difference between life and death. 1 2 3 4 5 E．Driving the radar hundreds of miles to chase down a tornado is a best job that can be quite dangerous. F．What makes tornadoes so dangerous is not just their great power but also their unpredictable nature. G．Scientists often have to drive the radar hundreds of miles to chase down a tornado—a job that can be quite dangerous! 答案：D 1 2 3 4 5 根据下文“Although scientists now know a great deal about tornadoes, they still cannot determine exactly when and where one will form.In addition, the path of a tornado can also be impossible to predict.”可知，科学家们仍然不能确定龙卷风形成的确切时间和地点，龙卷风的路径也可能无法预测，所以龙卷风的到来是出人意料的。由此可知，D项“A tornado can arrive so unexpectedly that a matter of seconds can mean the difference between life and death.(龙卷风的到来非常出人意料，几秒钟的时间就意味着生与死的差别)”能够衔接下文，符合语境。故选D。 1 2 3 4 5 To better understand tornadoes, scientists have developed special heavy-duty vehicles and weather-monitoring equipment that allow them to make close-up observations of these dangerous storms.Radar equipment is put on trucks and driven near a tornado, where it records wind speeds and other weather data. 4 1 2 3 4 5 A．Either big storms or small ones can form quickly, causing damage to some degree. B．These bring not only death and destruction, but also stories of strange phenomena. C．Many more are small storms that form quickly and disappear, causing little or no damage. D．A tornado can arrive so unexpectedly that a matter of seconds can mean the difference between life and death. 1 2 3 4 5 E．Driving the radar hundreds of miles to chase down a tornado is a best job that can be quite dangerous. F．What makes tornadoes so dangerous is not just their great power but also their unpredictable nature. G．Scientists often have to drive the radar hundreds of miles to chase down a tornado—a job that can be quite dangerous! 答案：G 1 2 3 4 5 根据上文“To better understand tornadoes, scientists have developed special heavy-duty vehicles and weather-monitoring equipment that allow them to make close-up observations of these dangerous storms.Radar equipment is put on trucks and driven near a tornado, where it records wind speeds and other weather data.”可知，科学家们驾驶带有雷达设备的卡车，追踪龙卷风、记录数据。由此可知，G项“Scientists often have to drive the radar hundreds of miles to chase down a tornado—a job that can be quite dangerous！(科学家们经常不得不驾驶雷达数百英里去追踪龙卷风——这是一项相当危险的工作！)”能够衔接上文，符合语境。故选G。 1 2 3 4 5 In addition, better communication and warning systems are also helping to reduce deaths and injuries in many tornado-prone areas.Radio and television warnings as well as sirens help to alert people to potential danger.Public awareness is also important.When tornadoes do occur, people must act quickly.They should move immediately to a safe place such as a basement or under a strong stairway and cover themselves with blankets or heavy coats. 5 1 2 3 4 5 A．Either big storms or small ones can form quickly, causing damage to some degree. B．These bring not only death and destruction, but also stories of strange phenomena. C．Many more are small storms that form quickly and disappear, causing little or no damage. D．A tornado can arrive so unexpectedly that a matter of seconds can mean the difference between life and death. 1 2 3 4 5 E．Driving the radar hundreds of miles to chase down a tornado is a best job that can be quite dangerous. F．What makes tornadoes so dangerous is not just their great power but also their unpredictable nature. G．Scientists often have to drive the radar hundreds of miles to chase down a tornado—a job that can be quite dangerous! 答案：F 1 2 3 4 5 上文讲到了对龙卷风预防和防范；由此推知，此处是对上文采取措施的原因的陈述，也是对全文的总结。由此可知，F项“What makes tornadoes so dangerous is not just their great power but also their unpredictable nature.(龙卷风之所以如此危险，不仅是因为它的威力巨大，还因为它的不可预测性)”能够衔接上文，符合语境。故选F。 1 2 3 4 5 Ⅵ.完形填空 I used to think my life was perfect.My mom had her dream job and a beautiful office and I had my own room with a computer and a garden to look after.But one Sunday, everything changed.A hurricane 1 our neighborhood while we were visiting my grandparents in Raleigh.Our kitchen was 2 ， and our clean and comfortable home was in ruins.
