The sea ice loss and the Arctic melting (融化) ice caused by climate change have increased much in the last ten years. So they have pushed down the number of polar bears and seals while polar bears depend on sea ice for hunting seals. According to the data from the WMO, temperatures on the Antarctica (南极洲) just hit 18.3℃, which is higher than the record of 17.5℃ in March, 2015. Moreover, temperatures in this area have increased by 3℃ over the last 50 years. Although such temperatures might be considered pleasant for a picnic or a hiking trip, this is the Antarctica we are talking about. It is home to the most inhospitable environment on the planet because it is supposed to be an extremely cold place. In fact, the average temperature of the continent’s central area is -57℃. Besides, many places are experiencing the extreme weather this summer. Australia is undergoing its worst drought (干旱) since the 1930s, leaving bush fire burning so long and causing many deaths. Meanwhile in Europe, crops in the northwest are suffering the driest weather in the past 80 years. Recently West Texas in America has also gone through its worst drought in more than 70 years, while floods have hit Eastern and Southern China. “Climate change is bad for us human beings, which causes direct health problems. I’m afraid there will be more common events like the one that 30,000 to 50,000 persons died in Europe in 2003 due to the heat wave there,” Professor Schwartz said. “It will also cause more air pollution, diseases and lack of clean water and so on.” 16．What doesn’t bring down the number of polar bears according to this passage? A．Hunting. B．Climate change. C．The sea ice loss. D．The Arctic melting ice. 17．What can you get out of this passage? A．The Antarctica is pleasant for a hiking trip. B．Extreme weather led to wildfires burning in Europe. C．Climate change will cause air pollution and diseases. D．The temperatures on the Antarctica hit the highest in March, 2015. 18．What does the underlined word “inhospitable” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Comfortable to live. B．Friendly to live. C．Healthy to live. D．Unfit to live. 19．Which place didn’t experience drought this year according to the passage? A．Europe. B．Australia. C．America. D．China. 20．What is the main idea of this passage? A．The whole planet is drier and drier. B．The Antarctica is warmer and warmer. C．Climate change is getting worse and worse. D．The number of polar bears becomes smaller and smaller. （二） The US. Government has recently helped people learn more about the dangers of earthquakes by publishing a map. This map shows the chances of an earthquake in each part of the country. The areas of the map where earthquakes are most likely to occur are called earthquake belts. The government is, spending a great deal money and is working hard to help discover the answer to these two questions: 1. Can we predict earthquake? 2. Can we control earthquakes? To answer the first question, scientists are looking very closely at the most active fault (断层) systems in the country such as the San Andreas fault in California, a fault is break between two sections of the earth’s surface. These breaks between sections are the place where earthquake occurs. Scientists look at the faults for changes that might show that an earthquake was about to occur. But it will probably be many years before we can predict earthquakes accurately. And the control of earthquakes is even farther away. Nevertheless, there have been some interesting developments in the field of controlling earthquakes. The most interesting development concerns the Rocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes. Here water was put into a layer of rocks 4000 meters below surface of the ground. Shortly after this injection of water, there were a small number of earthquakes. Scientists have decided that the water which was injected into rocks works like oil on each other. When the water “oiled” the fault, the fault became slippery and the energy of an earthquake was released. Scientists are still experimenting at the site of these earthquakes. They have realized that there is a connection between injection of the water and the earthquake activity. They have suggested that might be possible to use this knowledge to prevent very big destructive earthquakes that is, scientists could inject some kind of fluid like water into faults and change one big earthquake into a number of small, harmless earthquakes. 21．Earthquake belts are ________. A．maps that show where earthquakes are likely to occur B．zones with a high probability of earthquakes C．breaks between two sections of the earth’s surface D．the two layers of earth along a fault 22．The San Andreas’ fault is ________. A．an active fault system B．a place where earthquakes have been predicted accurately C．a place where earthquake have been controlled D．the location of the Rocky Mountain 23．What did scientists learn about earthquakes at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal? A．They occur at about 4000 meters below ground level. B．The injection of water into earthquake faults prevents earthquakes from occurring. C．They are usually caused by the oil in the faults. D．Harmful earthquakes can be possibly prevented by causing small harmless earthquake. 24．What can be said about the experiments at Rocky Mountain Arsenal? A．They have no practical value in earthquake prevention. B．They may have practical value in earthquake prevention. C．They are certain to have practical value in earthquake prevention. D．he article does not say anything about their practical value in earthquake prevention. 25．What is the most appropriate title for the passage? A．Dangers of Earthquake B．Earthquake Belts and Prediction C．Earthquake Prediction and Control D．Earthquake Engineering in California 三、翻译（共10小题，26-30每小题2分，31-35每小题3分，共25分） 26. 全球关注 27. 交通变革 28. 减少污染 29. 混合动力汽车 30. 环保经济 31. natural disasters 32. air pollution 33. electric planes 34. hybrid model 35. sustainable development 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 编写说明：本套【湖北专用】《同步单元AB卷》紧扣《英语 基础模块3》（高教版2023修订版）教材，以教材单元为基准精准覆盖核心考点，并紧密贴合湖北省真题题型。A卷为考点梳理卷，侧重考点分层突破；B卷为单元测试卷，强化综合能力检测，助力师生高效把握区域教学重点，提升应试能力与知识应用水平。 本卷是Unit 7 Natural Disasters的单元测试卷，主要考查语音、语法填空、阅读、情景交际。 Unit 7 Natural Disasters B卷·单元测试卷 考试时间：40分钟 满分：100分 班级 姓名 学号 成绩 一、单项选择（共15小题，每题3分，共45分） 1．I am sure ________ he said is true.

D．he article does not say anything about their practical value in earthquake prevention. 25．What is the most appropriate title for the passage? A．Dangers of Earthquake B．Earthquake Belts and Prediction C．Earthquake Prediction and Control D．Earthquake Engineering in California 【答案】21．B 22．A 23．D 24．B 25．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。为了提高人们对地震的防范意识美国政府加大了在防震、预测方面的投入，他们甚至在努力采取措施以预防大的破坏性地震。 21．细节理解题。根据第一段中“The areas of the map where earthquakes are most likely to occur are called earthquake belts. (地图上最容易发生地震的区域被称为地震带。)”可知，地震多发地带被称为地震带。故选B。 22．细节理解题。根据第二段中“To answer the first question, scientists are looking very closely at the most active fault (断层) systems in the country such as the San Andreas fault in California, a fault is break between two sections of the earth’s surface. (为了回答第一个问题，科学家们正在密切关注美国最活跃的断层系统，比如加州的圣安德烈亚斯断层，它是地球表面两个部分之间断裂的断层。)”可知，圣安德烈亚斯断层是美国最活跃的断层系统。故选A。 23．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Here water was put into a layer of rocks 4000 meters below surface of the ground. Shortly after this injection of water, there were a small number of earthquakes. Scientists have decided that the water which was injected into rocks works like oil on each other. (在这里，水被注入地表以下4000米的岩层中。在这次注水后不久，就发生了几次地震。科学家们认为注入岩石中的水像石油一样相互作用。)”和最后一段中“They have suggested that might be possible to use this knowledge to prevent very big destructive earthquakes that is, scientists could inject some kind of fluid like water into faults and change one big earthquake into a number of small, harmless earthquakes. (他们提出，也许可以利用这些知识来预防非常大的破坏性地震，也就是说，科学家可以向断层注入某种像水一样的流体，把一次大地震变成一些无害的小地震。)”可知，科学家们认为大地震危害大，通过注入水等流体，把大地震弱化到小的、无害的地震，就可以减少大地震带来的损失。故选D。 24．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Scientists are still experimenting at the site of these earthquakes. They have realized that there is a connection between injection of the water and the earthquake activity. They have suggested that might be possible to use this knowledge to prevent very big destructive earthquakes that is, scientists could inject some kind of fluid like water into faults and change one big earthquake into a number of small, harmless earthquakes. (科学家们仍在地震发生地进行实验。他们已经认识到注水与地震活动之间存在联系。他们提出，也许可以利用这些知识来预防非常大的破坏性地震，也就是说，科学家可以向断层注入某种像水一样的流体，把一次大地震变成一些无害的小地震。)”可推知，文中提及的实验，可以把一次非常大的破坏性地震变成一些无害的小地震，在防震方面可能具有实用价值。故选B。 25．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“The government is, spending a great deal money and is working hard to help discover the answer to these two questions: 1. Can we predict earthquake? 2. Can we control earthquakes? (政府正在投入大量资金，努力寻找这两个问题的答案：1. 我们能预测地震吗？2. 我们能控制地震吗？)”及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍的是美国政府为了提高人们对地震的防范意识，加大了在防震、预测方面的投入，努力采取措施以预防大的破坏性地震，因此C项“Earthquake Prediction and Control (地震预测与控制)”作为文章标题最合适。故选C。 三、翻译（共10小题，26-30每小题2分，31-35每小题3分，共25分） 26. 全球关注 27. 交通变革 28. 减少污染 29. 混合动力汽车 30. 环保经济 31. natural disasters 32. air pollution 33. electric planes 34. hybrid model 35. sustainable development 【答案】26.
