They can cause great harm to people and the environment. 1 Earthquakes happen when the Earth’s crust moves. They can make buildings fall and hurt many people. In 2008, the Wenchuan earthquake in China brought huge losses. 2 We should stay away from windows and heavy things when it happens. If we’re outside, we should stay an open area. Floods are also common. Heavy rain can cause floods. 3 They can wash away houses and bridges. When a flood comes, we must move to higher places quickly. We should also prepare some food and water in advance. Typhoons are strong winds with rain. They often come in summer. Typhoons can blow down trees and destroy houses. 4 We need to close windows and stay inside when a typhoon is nearby. 5 We can’t stop them from happening, but we can learn how to protect ourselves. By knowing what to do in different disasters, we can reduce the damage and stay safe. A．We can use the same way to face different disasters. B．These floods can cover large areas of land. C．We should listen to weather reports and be ready for them. D．So earthquakes are one of the most serious natural disasters. E．People can’t do anything when natural disasters happen. F．In short, natural disasters are always around us. G．However, people can do something when natural disasters happen. 【答案】1．G 2．D 3．B 4．C 5．F 【导语】本文主要介绍了自然灾害以及人们在自然灾害发生时可以做的事情。 1．根据“Natural disasters (灾害) are a part of our world. They can cause great harm to people and the environment.”可知，此处应是说虽然自然灾害会带来危害，但人们并非完全无能为力，选项G“然而，当自然灾害发生时，人们可以做一些事情。”符合语境，引出了下文关于应对自然灾害的描述。故选G。 2．根据“Earthquakes happen when the Earth’s crust moves. They can make buildings fall and hurt many people. In 2008, the Wenchuan earthquake in China brought huge losses.”可知，此处应是说地震带来的危害大，所以地震属于严重的自然灾害，选项D“所以地震是最严重的自然灾害之一。”符合语境。故选D。 3．根据“Floods are also common. Heavy rain can cause floods.”以及“They can wash away houses and bridges.”可知，此处应是说洪水造成的影响，选项B“这些洪水可以淹没大片土地。”符合语境。故选B。 4．根据“Typhoons are strong winds with rain. They often come in summer. Typhoons can blow down trees and destroy houses.”以及“We need to close windows and stay inside when a typhoon is nearby.”可知，此处应是说面对台风等自然灾害，人们应该提前做好准备，选项C“我们应该听天气预报并做好准备。”符合语境。故选C。 5．根据“We can’t stop them from happening, but we can learn how to protect ourselves.

Since cars are banned (禁止) in the city, there are no horns (喇叭) or noises from cars. People don’t have to try hard to make themselves heard. What you hear in the street, instead, is the singing of birds. “Listen,” says Migucl Lores, the mayor, opening the windows of his office. Human voices rise from the street below. “More than 14,000 cars used to pass along this street every day. There were more cars passing through the city in a day than people living here.” Lores became the mayor (市民) in 1999. He spent months walking around the city. “The historical city is dead,” he said one day. “It is full of cars. It is heavily polluted. There are a lot of traffic accidents. The elderly and children aren’t able to use the streets because of cars. People who have a chance to leave have done so.” At first, Lores thought of improving traffic conditions. However, he couldn’t come up with a good plan. After lots of discussions, the government finally decided to get rid of cars. The change has brought Pontevedra many benefits. Traffic accidents are now fewer. CO₂ emissions (排放物) are 70 percent down. Many people are moving to the city, making it lively again. Most local citizens like the change. Ramiro Armesto, a mother of two young children, said, “In the past, the first thing to see in the morning was traffic jams. Now, the city is cleaner, quieter and safer.” Raquel Garcia, another parent, said she had stayed in many cities around the world. However, she had never lived in a city as “easy to live in” as Pontevedra. “Even if it’s raining, I walk everywhere. The feeling is wonderful,” she added. “For me, Pontevedra is paradise .” 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．According to the article, in Pontevedra, people can’t ________. A．go out B．drive cars C．make noises D．keep birds as pets 2．In the streets of Pontevedra, you can probably hear ________. ①the singing of birds. ②the noise of car horns. ③the sound of car engines. ④the sound of people talking. A．①② B．②③ C．③④ D．①④ 3．After walking around Pontevedra, Miguel Lores found that ________. A．there were too many cars. B．the city had a long history. C．there were more walking people. D．there were not enough roads. 4．The underlined word “benefits” here means “________” in English. A．actions B．choices C．advantages D．developments 5．We can learn from the last paragraph that ________. A．Raquel Garcia has two children. B．Raquel Garcia is disappointed in Lores. C．many cities want to learn from Pontevedra. D．both Ramiro Armesto and Raque I Garcia support the change. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了西班牙的Pontevedra市因禁止汽车通行，从而带来了交通改善、环境变好、生活更便利等诸多好处，当地居民大多喜欢这一改变。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Since cars are banned (禁止) in the city...”可知，在Pontevedra，人们不能开车。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“What you hear in the street, instead, is the singing of birds.”和第二段“Human voices rise from the street below.”可知，在Pontevedra的街道上，你可以听到鸟儿的歌声和人们交谈的声音。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The historical (历史的) city is dead...It is full of cars.”可知，Miguel Lores在Pontevedra四处走动后发现这个城市车太多了。故选A。 4．词句猜测题。根据文章第五段“Traffic accidents are now fewer. CO₂ emissions (排放物) are 70 percent down. Many people are moving to the city, making it lively again.”可知，交通改善后，交通事故减少，二氧化碳排放量下降，人们搬到城市，城市又变得生机勃勃，这些都是改变带来的好处，所以“benefits”意为“好处，优势”。故选C。 5．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Most local citizens like the change. Ramiro Armesto...said, ‘In the past, the first thing to see in the morning was traffic jams. Now, the city is cleaner, quieter and safer.’ Raquel Garcia...said she had never lived in a city as ‘easy to live in’ as Pontevedra.”可知，Ramiro Armesto和Raquel Garcia都支持这一改变。故选D。 八、完形填空。 阅读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选择最佳选项。 A New Opportunity for Growth “How can I help rebuild my village using what I’ve learned in school?” I asked myself as I stood in front of the broken animal sheds. After graduating from the university, I returned to my hometown in Gansu, where the earthquake had destroyed almost everything. At the sight of the broken fences and hungry animals, I recalled what my science teacher said, “Knowledge can heal (治愈) the land.” What could I possibly do to help? The mayor (镇长) came up to me, his face filled with determination. “Xiaopeng, we need you to help us 1 a new Animal Care Center,” he said. “But I’m too young for this! I just finished my studies. I’m not sure I’m ready,” I admitted (承认), my voice was full of 2 . I touched the notebook in my pocket— last month I took notes on how to lay the foundation (地基). Could that help? The mayor smiled gently. “I still remember how great your grandfather was. I believe you can be as great a person as he is. This center will help our village rise again.” Indeed, my grandfather had always been hard-working. His words still echoed (回响) in my mind. Once he told me good foundations made strong buildings when I helped him repair the sheds. Taking a deep breath, I nodded. “I’ll 3 his old ways with new ideas from school,” I took on the task, feeling more confident. The first few days were 4 . The rains came heavily, flooding the construction site (工地). I led the workers to dig channels (水渠) as I had learned in geography class. Together, we cleared the water. After several months’ efforts, the center was finally ready. I used what I had learned to design smart feeding areas. The center could 5 30 cows and 100 sheep in each unit, helping the local farmers a lot. On the opening day, an elderly farmer came to me with tears in his eyes. “This place smells like 6 ,” he said, grateful for the change. I smiled. “It’s all of us, working together,” I replied 7 . Behind me was grandfather’s old farming calendar next to my science posters. That night, I sat down and wrote in my diary, “When we mix school knowledge with family treasures, amazing things 8 .” 1．A．paint B．build C．find D．visit 2．A．excitement B．confidence C．doubt D．anger 3．A．mix B．deal C．compare D．agree 4．A．impossible B．boring C．difficult D．important 5．A．sell B．house C．buy D．treat 6．A．hope B．storm C．dream D．darkness 7．A．regretfully B．patiently C．quickly D．proudly 8．A．stop B．grow C．change D．improve 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．C 5．B 6．A 7．D 8．B 【导语】本文讲述了主人公大学毕业后回到家乡甘肃，面对地震后的废墟，决定利用所学知识帮助重建村庄。 1．句意：他说：“小鹏，我们需要你帮助我们建立新的动物饲养中心。” pait绘画；build建立；find发现；visit拜访。根据“a new Animal Care Center”以及下文建造棚可知，此处built“建立，创办”符合语境。故选B。 2．句意：我承认我的声音里充满了怀疑。 excitement激动；confidence信心；doubt怀疑；anger生气。根据“But I’m too young for this! I just finished my studies. I’m not sure I’m ready,”可知，作者刚刚毕业，对自己的能力表示不确定，因此他的声音充满了“怀疑”。故选C。 3．句意：深吸一口气，我点了点头。“我会将他的旧方法与学校的新知识混合，”我接受了任务，感到更加自信。 mix混合；deal处理；compare比较；agree同意。根据“I’ll...his old ways with new ideas from school”可知，考查固定短语mix sth with sth“将……混合在一起”，表示将旧方法和新知识混合在一起。故选A。 4．句意：前几天的施工非常困难。 impossible不可能的；boring枯燥的；difficult困难的；important重要的。根据“The rains came heavily, flooding the construction site (工地).”可知，前几天的施工遇到了大雨，工地被淹，情况非常困难。故选C。 5．句意：每个单元可以容纳30头牛和100只羊，极大地帮助了当地农民。 sell卖；house容纳；buy买；treat对待。根据“...30 cows and 100 sheep in each unit”可知，动物护理中心可以容纳30头牛和100只羊。house动词，容纳，符合语境。故选B。 6．句意：“这个地方闻起来像希望，”他感激地说。 hope希望；storm暴风雨；dream梦想；darkne黑暗。根据“...grateful for the change.”可知，老农很感激，此处表达了对未来的期待，因此“hope”符合语境。故选A。 7．句意：“这是我们所有人共同努力的结果，”我自豪地说。 regretfully惭愧地；patiently耐心地；quickly快速地；proudly自豪地。根据上下文可知，此处是作者自豪地回应，因此“proudly”是最佳选择。故选D。 8．句意：那天晚上，我坐下来在日记中写道：“当我们将学校知识与家庭宝藏结合时，奇迹会生长。” stop停止；grow生长；change改变；improve提高。根据“When we mix school knowledge with family treasures, amazing things ...”可知，作者在日记中写道，当学校知识与家庭传统结合时，奇迹会“生长”，因此“grow”符合语境。故选B。 Part 1: Read and Explore 1 Many earthquakes happen every year. Some of these earthquakes are very strong. When they happen in cities, they can be very serious. Many people will be hurt or die in the earthquakes. Knowing some ways to protect yourself will help to keep you safe in the earthquake. 2 If you are indoors when the earthquake happens, the safest place is under a strong table or desk. Sitting on the floor in a doorway or sitting close to a wall is safer than standing in the middle of a room. Remember to protect your head and neck with your arms. Stay away from windows, tall furniture and pictures or anything that may fall on you. Do not try to run out of the building if you live high. 3 If you are out of doors, move to clear areas. Get away from buildings and trees. Be very careful of fallen power lines. 4 The danger is not over when the strong shaking stops. There will be some shocks after most earthquakes. We call them aftershocks (余震) and they sometimes can be more dangerous than the first earthquake. 5 When it is safe for you to move around, check the people near you. Some may need help. You may feel afraid, but you should try to stay calm (冷静的). That is the most important thing to do in the earthquake.

After graduating from the university, I returned to my hometown in Gansu, where the earthquake had destroyed almost everything. At the sight of the broken fences and hungry animals, I recalled what my science teacher said, “Knowledge can heal (治愈) the land.” What could I possibly do to help? The mayor (镇长) came up to me, his face filled with determination. “Xiaopeng, we need you to help us 1 a new Animal Care Center,” he said. “But I’m too young for this! I just finished my studies. I’m not sure I’m ready,” I admitted (承认), my voice was full of 2 . I touched the notebook in my pocket— last month I took notes on how to lay the foundation (地基). Could that help? The mayor smiled gently. “I still remember how great your grandfather was. I believe you can be as great a person as he is. This center will help our village rise again.” Indeed, my grandfather had always been hard-working. His words still echoed (回响) in my mind. Once he told me good foundations made strong buildings when I helped him repair the sheds. Taking a deep breath, I nodded. “I’ll 3 his old ways with new ideas from school,” I took on the task, feeling more confident. The first few days were 4 . The rains came heavily, flooding the construction site (工地). I led the workers to dig channels (水渠) as I had learned in geography class. Together, we cleared the water. After several months’ efforts, the center was finally ready. I used what I had learned to design smart feeding areas. The center could 5 30 cows and 100 sheep in each unit, helping the local farmers a lot. On the opening day, an elderly farmer came to me with tears in his eyes. “This place smells like 6 ,” he said, grateful for the change. I smiled. “It’s all of us, working together,” I replied 7 . Behind me was grandfather’s old farming calendar next to my science posters.

Some of these earthquakes are very strong. When they happen in cities, they can be very serious. Many people will be hurt or die in the earthquakes. Knowing some ways to protect yourself will help to keep you safe in the earthquake. 2 If you are indoors when the earthquake happens, the safest place is under a strong table or desk. Sitting on the floor in a doorway or sitting close to a wall is safer than standing in the middle of a room. Remember to protect your head and neck with your arms. Stay away from windows, tall furniture and pictures or anything that may fall on you. Do not try to run out of the building if you live high. 3 If you are out of doors, move to clear areas. Get away from buildings and trees. Be very careful of fallen power lines. 4 The danger is not over when the strong shaking stops. There will be some shocks after most earthquakes. We call them aftershocks (余震) and they sometimes can be more dangerous than the first earthquake. 5 When it is safe for you to move around, check the people near you. Some may need help. You may feel afraid, but you should try to stay calm (冷静的). That is the most important thing to do in the earthquake.
