地球的不眠之夜
河北省东北部的农村地区怪事连连。一连几天,村里的井水升升降降,起起伏伏,井壁上出现了深深的裂缝,至少有一口水井冒出臭气。鸡甚至猪都焦躁不安,不愿进食;狗拒绝进入屋内。老鼠跑到田外,寻找藏身之所;鱼儿也跳出水面。1976年7月28日凌晨3:00左右,唐山市外的天空中出现了耀眼的亮光,接着又传出巨大的声响。然而,那天晚上,城里的百万居民仍像往常一样沉睡在梦乡。
凌晨3:42,万物开始摇晃,仿佛世界末日即将来临!在城市正下方的11千米处,20世纪伤亡最严重的地震之一爆发了,远在150多千米以外的北京都受到了这场地震的破坏,全国几乎三分之一的地区均有震感!一条8千米长、30米宽的巨大裂缝横切房屋、道路和水路。坚硬的石山变成了泥石流。在不到一分钟的时间里,一座大城市沦为废墟。城里三分之二的居民遇难或受伤,数以千计的孩子失去了父母。在此次地震中丧生或身受重伤的人数超过了40万。
幸存者目及之处无一不是废墟,城市里万物尽毁。市内大约75%的工厂和大楼、90%的住房和所有的医院都荡然无存了。砖块就像秋天的红叶覆盖着地面,但是却没有风能将其吹走。大多数桥梁坍塌或无法安全通行;铁轨变成了废金属块;数万头奶牛、数十万头猪和数百万只鸡也都死掉了。水井满是沙子而非井水。人们惊恐万状,然而临近傍晚时分,又一场强烈的地震侵袭了唐山。更多的楼房倒塌了,水、食物和电难以获取。人们开始疑惑这场灾难将会持续多久。然而,希望尚存。地震后不久,部队派出了15万名士兵奔赴唐山,将受困群众从废墟中挖出来,并掩埋了死者。上万名医护人员赶到现场,救死扶伤。工人们为家园被毁的幸存者盖起了庇护所。数十万人获得了帮助。火车、卡车和飞机给城市运来了食物和饮用水。慢慢地,这座城市又开始恢复了生机。
唐山重新站起来并获得了新生。在政府的大力支持以及市民的不懈努力下,一座新的唐山在地震废墟上被建立起来。这座新的城市已经成为700多万人的家园,交通、工业和环境都得到了巨大的改善。唐山向中国以及全世界证明,在灾难发生之际,人们必须团结一致,展现智慧,保持积极乐观的心态,重建一个更为璀璨的未来。

海啸侵袭亚洲:6 500余人遇难
罗伯特·伍德豪斯
2004年12月27日,星期一
昨日,40年来最为强烈的地震引发海啸,重创亚洲沿海地带,造成印度尼西亚、印度、泰国、马来西亚和至少其他四个国家的6 500多人死亡。渔民、游客、酒店、房屋和汽车都被9.0级强震所引发的巨浪卷走。这场海底地震于周日早上7:00许侵袭了印度尼西亚苏门答腊岛西岸附近的海域。仅那个地区就至少有1 870人死亡。
政府官员称,在斯里兰卡,震中以西约1 600千米处,死亡人数高达2 498,另有100多万人受到海啸的影响。印度官员称,南部海岸地区多达1 900人丧生。泰国另有254人死亡,其他三个国家有54人丧生。当地官员表示,泰国南部有1 900人受伤,失踪人数则更多。泰国当地的一位女士钱德拉·特拉维说:"我和三个孩子正在吃早饭,突然海水开始灌入屋内。我们只好扔下一切,跑到安全地带。"
仍有成千上万人失踪,未来几天,死亡人数预计还将进一步增加。目前正在为这些受灾国家组织国外援助。然而,由于条件险恶和道路受损,食物运送和物资补给将非常困难。

2004年东南亚海啸
2004年12月26日,印度尼西亚苏门答腊岛附近海域发生里氏9级地震并引发海啸,造成印度洋沿岸各国人民生命和财产的重大损失。
据分析,这次地震是发生在板块边缘的逆冲型地震。苏门答腊岛以北地区位于印度板块边缘,板块边缘的一个长距离破裂带通过长时间积累,蓄积了巨大的能量,最后这些能量在26日集中释放出来,引发此次大地震。虽然此次地震震级很高,使周边地区都有震感,但对人类威胁最大的是地震引起的海啸。

地球的不眠之夜
河北省东北部的农村地区怪事连连。一连几天,村里的井水升升降降,起起伏伏,井壁上出现了深深的裂缝,至少有一口水井冒出臭气。鸡甚至猪都焦躁不安,不愿进食;狗拒绝进入屋内。老鼠跑到田外,寻找藏身之所;鱼儿也跳出水面。1976年7月28日凌晨3:00左右,唐山市外的天空中出现了耀眼的亮光,接着又传出巨大的声响。然而,那天晚上,城里的百万居民仍像往常一样沉睡在梦乡。
凌晨3:42,万物开始摇晃,仿佛世界末日即将来临!在城市正下方的11千米处,20世纪伤亡最严重的地震之一爆发了,远在150多千米以外的北京都受到了这场地震的破坏,全国几乎三分之一的地区均有震感!一条8千米长、30米宽的巨大裂缝横切房屋、道路和水路。坚硬的石山变成了泥石流。在不到一分钟的时间里,一座大城市沦为废墟。城里三分之二的居民遇难或受伤,数以千计的孩子失去了父母。在此次地震中丧生或身受重伤的人数超过了40万。
幸存者目及之处无一不是废墟,城市里万物尽毁。市内大约75%的工厂和大楼、90%的住房和所有的医院都荡然无存了。砖块就像秋天的红叶覆盖着地面,但是却没有风能将其吹走。大多数桥梁坍塌或无法安全通行;铁轨变成了废金属块;数万头奶牛、数十万头猪和数百万只鸡也都死掉了。水井满是沙子而非井水。人们惊恐万状,然而临近傍晚时分,又一场强烈的地震侵袭了唐山。更多的楼房倒塌了,水、食物和电难以获取。人们开始疑惑这场灾难将会持续多久。然而,希望尚存。地震后不久,部队派出了15万名士兵奔赴唐山,将受困群众从废墟中挖出来,并掩埋了死者。上万名医护人员赶到现场,救死扶伤。工人们为家园被毁的幸存者盖起了庇护所。数十万人获得了帮助。火车、卡车和飞机给城市运来了食物和饮用水。慢慢地,这座城市又开始恢复了生机。
唐山重新站起来并获得了新生。在政府的大力支持以及市民的不懈努力下,一座新的唐山在地震废墟上被建立起来。这座新的城市已经成为700多万人的家园,交通、工业和环境都得到了巨大的改善。唐山向中国以及全世界证明,在灾难发生之际,人们必须团结一致,展现智慧,保持积极乐观的心态,重建一个更为璀璨的未来。

2.in 考查介词。bury oneself in...表示“专心致志于……”,故填介词in。句意:袁隆平专心致志于杂交水稻的发展,取得了巨大成就。
3.from 考查介词。句意:很多动物天生就有躲避危险的能力。shelter from...意为“躲避……”。
4.into 考查介词。trap sb. into doing sth.诱骗某人做某事。故填into。句意:一些网络骗子诱骗中学生说出他们的身份证号。
5.death 考查名词。句意:舞蹈表达爱与恨,欢乐与悲伤,生与死,以及其他介于两者之间的一切。love and hate、joy and sorrow、life and 为三个并列的结构,这三个结构都是由and连接两个名词构成的,所以设空处也应用名词,根据语境可知填death。

7.was rescued 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:我获救时已休克。他们立即把我送到了医院。根据前面的was可知此处应用一般过去时,且I(第一人称)和rescue之间是被动关系,故用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was rescued。
8.is increasing 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。分析句子可知,主语为“the number of people”,谓语动词需用单数形式;结合开头的Now可知此处表示“现在学习急救的人的数量正在快速增加”,需用现在进行时,故填is increasing。

Nearly one third of China felt the power of the quake. Hard hills of rock became rivers of dirt. Within one minute, 4 whole city lay in ruins—almost everything was destroyed. Two thirds of people died or got 5 (injure). People were 6 (shock) at this and what was worse, then another big quake hit Tangshan again. People got into deep trouble, 7 (wonder) how long the disaster would last. The army organized teams to dig out those 8 were trapped and to bury the dead. Workers built shelters for 9 (survivor). Fresh water was taken to the city. Gradually, the city began to breathe again. With effective support from the government and the tireless efforts of the city's people, 10 (final) a new Tangshan was built on the earthquake ruins.
1.rose 考查动词的时态。根据上一句中的before the Tangshan earthquake可知,此处讲的是唐山大地震前的情况,为过去发生的事情,需用一般过去时,故填rose。
2.to eat 考查不定式。句意:鸡和猪都紧张得吃不下东西。too...to...意为“太……而不能……”,此处需填不定式作结果状语。故填to eat。
3.It 考查代词。It seems/seemed as if...表示“似乎/好像……”。故填It。句意:好像世界末日就要到了!
4.the 考查冠词。句意:不到一分钟,整个城市就成了一片废墟……。此处特指整个城市,需要在whole前加定冠词the。
5.injured 考查过去分词。get injured意为“受伤”。故填injured。
6.shocked 考查形容词。主语为People,设空处作表语,故用形容词shocked。be shocked at...意为“对……感到震惊”。
7.wondering 考查现在分词。句意:人们深陷困境,想知道这场灾难要持续多久。设空处前面已有谓语got into,且逗号后无连词,故设空处应为非谓语动词。wonder与其逻辑主语People之间为主动关系,故用现在分词作伴随状语。
8.who 考查定语从句。设空处无提示词,前面为代词those,“ 8 were trapped”中缺主语(设空处后面为谓语),且将前面的those作为主语代入后面发现意思合理,故推测设空处引导定语从句且在从句中充当主语,指代先行词those,指人,故填who。
9.survivors 考查名词复数。survivor意为“幸存者”,为可数名词,空前没有限定词,所以用复数形式。故填survivors。
10.finally 考查副词。设空处后是一个完整的句子,提示词是形容词,所以用副词作状语,故填finally。

海啸侵袭亚洲:6 500余人遇难
罗伯特·伍德豪斯
2004年12月27日,星期一
昨日,40年来最为强烈的地震引发海啸,重创亚洲沿海地带,造成印度尼西亚、印度、泰国、马来西亚和至少其他四个国家的6 500多人死亡。渔民、游客、酒店、房屋和汽车都被9.0级强震所引发的巨浪卷走。这场海底地震于周日早上7:00许侵袭了印度尼西亚苏门答腊岛西岸附近的海域。仅那个地区就至少有1 870人死亡。
政府官员称,在斯里兰卡,震中以西约1 600千米处,死亡人数高达2 498,另有100多万人受到海啸的影响。印度官员称,南部海岸地区多达1 900人丧生。泰国另有254人死亡,其他三个国家有54人丧生。当地官员表示,泰国南部有1 900人受伤,失踪人数则更多。泰国当地的一位女士钱德拉·特拉维说:"我和三个孩子正在吃早饭,突然海水开始灌入屋内。我们只好扔下一切,跑到安全地带。"
仍有成千上万人失踪,未来几天,死亡人数预计还将进一步增加。目前正在为这些受灾国家组织国外援助。然而,由于条件险恶和道路受损,食物运送和物资补给将非常困难。

2004年东南亚海啸
2004年12月26日,印度尼西亚苏门答腊岛附近海域发生里氏9级地震并引发海啸,造成印度洋沿岸各国人民生命和财产的重大损失。
据分析,这次地震是发生在板块边缘的逆冲型地震。苏门答腊岛以北地区位于印度板块边缘,板块边缘的一个长距离破裂带通过长时间积累,蓄积了巨大的能量,最后这些能量在26日集中释放出来,引发此次大地震。虽然此次地震震级很高,使周边地区都有震感,但对人类威胁最大的是地震引起的海啸。

2.effective 考查形容词。分析句子结构可知,设空处在句中作定语,修饰复数名词speakers,故填形容词effective,意为“有影响力的”。句意:然而,大多数人是因为他们受过训练才成为有影响力的演说家的。
3.length 考查名词。句意:为了增强他的体力,他逐渐增加了跑步的里程。根据设空处前的the和设空处后的of可知此处应用名词,long是形容词,其名词是length。

5.were swept 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:在去年的洪水中,很多建筑物被冲走,导致很多人死亡。根据时间状语last year可知此处应用一般过去时,且 buildings和sweep away之间是被动关系,故用一般过去时的被动语态。主语是复数名词,谓语动词应用复数。故填were swept。

1.powerful 考查形容词。根据设空处前面的the most和后面的名词earthquake可知此处应用形容词,power是名词,其形容词是powerful,意为“强有力的”,故填powerful。
2.countries 考查名词复数。由空前的several可知此处应用名词复数形式。故填countries。
3.which/that 考查定语从句。设空处无提示词,前面为名词earthquake,后面句子缺主语(设空处后面为谓语动词reached),且结合语境可知这里应表达“the undersea earthquake reached a magnitude of 9.0”,故设空处引导定语从句,修饰指物的名词,故填关系代词which或that。 句意:周日早上7点左右,在印度尼西亚的苏门答腊岛西海岸附近发生了海底地震,震级达9.0级,造成至少1,870人死亡。
4.causing 考查现在分词。设空处所在句有主语The undersea earthquake和谓语动词occurred,所以推知设空处用非谓语动词的形式;设空处指地震“造成”的结果,The undersea earthquake与cause之间为主动关系,所以用现在分词作结果状语。
5.at 考查介词。 stand at sth.表示“达特定水平(或数量、高度等)”。此处指死亡人数为2,498。故填at。
6.is expected 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。 “the number of+复数名词”作主语,谓语动词用单数;the number of deaths和expect(预计)之间为被动关系,应用被动语态;结合前面的“are still missing”可知此处应用一般现在时,故填is expected。句意:目前仍有数千人失踪,死亡人数预计还会增加。
7.higher 考查形容词比较级。根据句意可知这里应用形容词比较级。even修饰比较级,用以加强比较。故填higher。
8.Though/Although 考查连词。设空处所在句中间为逗号,逗号前后两部分都有主语,逗号前面表示“正在为遭受海啸袭击的国家组织外国援助”,后面表示“危险的环境和被破坏的道路将使运送食物和补给品变得困难”,故推测设空处应用though或although引导让步状语从句。注意首字母大写。
9.damaged 考查过去分词。dangerous conditions and 9 (damage) roads是主句主语,roads是名词,缺少修饰成分,roads与damage之间为被动关系,故填过去分词damaged作定语。
10.to deliver 考查不定式。make it difficult to do sth.为固定结构,意为“使做某事很困难”,it作形式宾语,真正的宾语是动词不定式短语。故填to deliver。
六.语法填空
Droughts Cause Problems for China
This summer has brought serious heat and droughts to places around the world. The droughts are leading to serious problems, 1 (include) food and energy shortages, transportation problems, and price increases. The effect of the droughts is likely to be felt for years.
China 2 (face) with similar problems now, too. It has been troubled by a terrible drought this summer, with temperatures as high as 45℃. The drought has dried up much of the Yangtze River, China's 3 (long) river. That has cut the amount(数量) of power 4 is produced by the world's largest dam by 40%.
China hasn't been able to produce enough power, since millions of people are using electricity to keep cool. In Sichuan Province, the government is closing 5 (factory) down because there's not enough energy. The country is trying to make it rain by 6 (send) chemicals into clouds, which, however, is 7 uncertain and temporary(临时的) measure.
There are no easy ways for any of these droughts. 8 has taken years to create the climate problem, and getting it under control will take more time. For now, governments and people will need to 9 (careful) manage water supplies and other things 10 (stop) the damage.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了干旱给中国带来的各种问题。
1.including 考查介词。后面的food and energy shortages, transportation problems, and price increases是前面的problems的举例,故填including,意为“包括”。句意:干旱正在导致严重的问题,包括粮食和能源短缺、运输问题和价格上涨。
2.is faced 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意:中国现在也面临着类似的问题。be faced with表示“面临,面对”,根据时间状语now可知,句子描述现在的情况,应用一般现在时,主语是China,be动词应用is。故填is faced。
3.longest 考查形容词最高级。结合常识可知,长江是中国最长的河流,所以设空处应用形容词的最高级形式作定语,修饰名词river。故填longest。句意:干旱使中国最长的河流——长江的很多部分干涸。
4.which/that 考查定语从句。设空处无提示词,空后内容缺少主语,结合语境可知空后的主语就是空前的名词power,所以设空处引导定语从句,先行词power指物,故填which或that。句意:那使得世界上最大的水坝生产的电力减少了40%。
5.factories 考查名词复数。句意:在四川省,由于能源不足,政府正在关闭工厂。结合常识可知,政府关闭不止一家工厂,且设空处前无限定词,所以设空处应用名词的复数形式。故填factories。
6.sending 考查动名词。设空处位于介词by之后,应用动名词形式作宾语,故填sending。句意:中国正努力通过将化学物质送入云层来降雨,但这是一项不确定的临时措施。
7.an 考查冠词。此处表示人工降雨是一项不确定的临时措施,设空处应用不定冠词表示泛指,uncertain以元音音素开头,前面应用不定冠词an。
8.It 考查代词。本句为“It takes/took some time to do sth.”句型,表示“做某事花费多少时间”,所以设空处应用it,置于句首,首字母大写。故填It。
9.carefully 考查副词。设空处修饰动词manage,应用副词形式作状语,故填carefully,表示“小心地,谨慎地”。
10.to stop 考查不定式。句意:目前,政府和人民需要谨慎管理水供应和其他事情,以防止损害的发生。句中已有谓语,故设空处应用非谓语动词,结合语境可知这里表示目的,所以应用不定式作目的状语。故填to stop。
