After an earthquake most survivors can be expected to recover over time,particularly with the support of family and friends.Some families will be able to return to their normal life quickly,while others will have to contend with the destruction of their homes,medical problems,and injury to family members.Children especially will need time to recover from the loss of a loved one or a pet or from the closing down of their school.
Children often turn to adults for information,comfort and help.Parents should try to remain calm,answer children's questions honestly and remain understanding when they see changes in their children's behavior.
Children react differently to an earthquake depending on their ages,developmental levels and former experiences.Some will respond by withdrawing(不与人交往),while others will have angry outbursts(爆发).Parents should remain sensitive to each child's reactions.Parents should spend time talking to their children,letting them know that it's OK to ask questions and to share their worries.Although it may be hard to find time to have these talks,parents can use regular family mealtimes or bedtimes for them.They should answer questions briefly and honestly and be sure to ask their children for their opinions and ideas.Issues may come up more than once and parents should remain patient when you answer the questions again.For young children,parents,after talking about the earthquake,might read a favorite story or have a relaxing family activity to help them calm down.Parents should also tell children they are safe and spend extra time with them.They could play games outside or read together indoors.Most importantly,be sure to tell them you love them.

A little boy was spending his Saturday morning playing in his sandbox(沙池).He had with him a box of cars and trucks,and a red plastic shovel.In the process of creating roads and tunnels in the sand,he discovered a large rock in the middle of the sandbox.
The boy dug around the rock,trying to get it out of the sand.With many struggles,he pushed the rock across the sandbox by using his feet.He was a very small boy and the rock was very huge.When the boy got the rock to the edge of the sandbox,however,he found that he couldn't roll it up and over the little wall.
Determined,the little boy shoved and pushed,but every time the rock tipped(倾斜) and then fell back into the sandbox.Finally,he burst into tears of frustration.All this time the boy's father watched from his living room window.At the moment his tears fell,a large shadow fell across the boy and the sandbox.It was the boy's father.
Gently but firmly he said,“Son,why didn't you use all the strength that you had available?” Defeated,the boy answered,“But I did,Daddy.I used all the strength that I had!”“No,son,” said the father kindly.“You didn't use all the strength you had.You didn't ask me.” With that the father reached down,picked up the rock,and removed it from the sandbox.
Do you have “rocks” in your life that need to be removed?Are you discovering that you don't have what it takes to lift them?There is one who is always available and willing to give us the strength we need.Isn't it funny that we try so hard to do things all by ourselves?

Everybody hates rats(big mice).But in the earthquake capitals of the world—Japan,Los Angeles,Turkey—rats will soon be man's best friends.
What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs.Why? Because they can smell people.Dogs save lives.They help rescuers to find living people.But dogs are big and they can't get into small spaces.So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives:the rat.
How does it work? First,the rat is trained to smell people.When this happens,the rat's brain gives a signal(信号).This is sent to a small radio on its back,and then the rescuers follow the radio signal.When the rat's brain activity jumps,the rescuers know that someone is alive.The rat has smelled that person.
Although there are already robots which can do this job,rats are better.Christian Linster at Cornell University,New York,says,“Robots' noses don't work well when there are other smells around.Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark.They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs,and unlike robots,they don't need electricity!
The “rat project” is not finished,but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Organization in Scotland says,“It would be wonderful.A rat can get into spaces we can't get to,and a rat will get out if it isn't safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history,people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake,of course).
[语篇解读] 本文一篇说明文。介绍了一个研究项目——利用老鼠来搜寻地震中的被困人员。

B.the rat's unusual behavior
C.the signal sent by the radio on the rat's back
D.the smell given off by the person
C [细节理解题。根据第三段中的“When this happens,the rat's brain gives a signal(信号).This is sent to a small radio on its back,and then the rescuers follow the radio signal.”可知答案为C项。]
14.Rats have all the following advantages EXCEPT that .
A.they are more lovely than other animals
B.they are less expensive to train than dogs
C.they don't need electricity

The Night the Titanic Sank

17 Another ship—the Californian was about 30 kilometres north of the Titanic.When the Californian saw the iceberg,it stopped.It also sent a radio message to warn other ships in the area.At about 11:15 p.m.,the Californian's radio operator turned off the radio,and went to bed.The Titanic sent a message back giving its position—wrongly! 18
Soon after midnight,the crew(船员) of the Californian saw rockets going up into the sky from the Titanic.Their captain said,“Fireworks! 19 ” The radio wasn't turned on again,and the Californian didn't move.At 0:25 a.m on the Titanic,people began to get into the lifeboats.
At 2:20 a.m on April 15th the Titanic finally sank.Another ship,the Carpathia,heard the Titanic's last call for help. 20 At 4:10 a.m,the Carpathia saw the Titanic's lifeboats floating on the dark water,and rescued the survivors.Later,the Californian turned the radio back on,and heard that the Titanic had sunk.

F.Before the accident,the Titanic had received an ice warning.
G.A lot of people stayed on the ship instead of trying to escape.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。泰坦尼克号沉船事件是迄今为止最著名的一次海难,本文讲述了这次沉船事件的过程。
16.E [上文提到“泰坦尼克号上的船员发现了冰山”,下文提到“船在水中已经倾斜了”,E项“但它航速过快无法停止,结果撞上了冰山”承上启下,符合语境。]
17.F [下文提到“加利福尼亚号看到冰山后曾发出无线电信号,警告这片海域中的其他轮船”,故F项“泰坦尼克号在撞击冰山前收到过冰情警报”符合语境。]
18.A [上文提到“加利福尼亚号关闭无线电的时间是11:15,之后泰坦尼克号发出了错误的位置信息”,下一段中则提到“人们开始登上救生船的时间是0:25”,故此处说明的应是“撞击冰山事故发生的时间”,故选A。]
19.C [下文提到“加利福尼亚号关闭了无线电,没有收到求救信号”,所以该船船长看到泰坦尼克号上燃放的烟火,以为他们“正在举办晚会”,故选C。]
20.D [下文提到“卡帕西亚号援救了许多幸存者”,故D项“虽然两船相距58英里,但卡帕西亚号急速行驶前往救援”符合语境。]

As the sun shone through Poltu's window, he was already wide awake in his bed.He got up and ran straight to his study table.There, in an empty jam bottle, was the treasure.A colorful little butterfly.How difficult it had been to catch it in the backyard of his house.It had kept flying away from his grasp.But catch it he did.And now it was going to be part of his biology project in school.
The biology project required Poltu to submit the study of a living creature every month.Most of his classmates drew diagrams from their books as part of this exercise.But Poltu was going to do something different.He was going to present a live creature—this butterfly.
Poltu loved the different colours on the wings of the butterfly.Red, green and blue.How beautiful it looked when it fluttered the wings.Poltu had made a few holes on the cap of the bottle to let air pass through, and added tender leaves for the butterfly to nibble (小口地咬) on.He might have trapped the creature, but he cared for it.
Excited about displaying his exhibit to the biology teacher, Poltu dressed hurriedly, and left for school.His school was walking distance from his house.He took a short cut and when he arrived, the gate wasn't wholly open yet.
He walked straight into his class, opened the bench window and placed the bottle on the windowsill.The golden rays of the sun streamed through the glass, on the delicate wings of the butterfly.Poltu's butterfly looked simply gorgeous.In a few minutes, the area was full of boys, even from other classes, gazing fondly at it.
That day's biology class was the most interesting in a long time.Pleased with Poltu's initiative (主动性), the teacher asked everyone in the class to thank him as he made it possible for them to study a butterfly so closely.Poltu felt like a star for being treated like royalty.
On the way home, whatever small creature Poltu came across, he felt like putting into the bottle.But he checked himself as he wanted to give breathing space to his butterfly.
Paragraph 1:
However, when he returned home, he found the butterfly not moving.
Paragraph 2:
He ran outside, holding the bottle tightly in his hand.
[参考范文]
Paragraph 1:
However, when he returned home, he found the butterfly not moving.Suspecting that it could be sleeping, he patted the cap of the bottle lightly, but no response.Poltu was scared all of a sudden.A disturbing thought flashed across his mind that the butterfly might have been exhausted to death after being displayed the entire day.He poured a little water into the bottle, which seemed to help as the butterfly shivered a little.Then followed a long period of utter stillness of the poor creature, leaving Poltu even more unsettled.
Paragraph 2:
He ran outside, holding the bottle tightly in his hand.The air in the backyard was refreshing from the scent of the green grass.He quickly unscrewed the cap of the bottle and started shaking it gently.His heart pounded as he waited for the butterfly to come alive.Then slowly, as if waking from a deep slumber, the butterfly started to move.Poltu watched as it fluttered its wings and rose gently up into the air.Staring at the empty bottle for an instant, he had a feeling of emptiness himself.But it was a delight to send the butterfly back to where it belonged—nature.
