California, America Using AI to stop fires California uses AI to report wild fire. The AI can find smoke and fire. It uses over a thousand cameras in forests across the state. In two months, AI found 77 fires before any 911 calls came in. Ogasawara Islands, Japan A new island came out An underwater volcano (火山) broke out on October 21,2023. By early November, a new island near Japan came out. The new island was as high as 20 meters above the sea and then it became smaller. Kenya Families left homes Many families in Kenya left their homes because of floods. Trains to and from Mombasa had to stop running. The floods started after heavy rain. The warm sea water made the weather worse. 26．What do people use AI to report in the news? A．Dry weather. B．Wild fire. C．Heavy rain.

They not only cause property (财产) loss but also take away people’s lives. Strong winds can be very terrible. On March 31st, 2024, strong winds hit Nanchang, Jiangxi province. The strong winds broke the windows into pieces and blew off three people sleeping at home, causing their deaths. What’s worse, more than 1,600 trees were blown down overnight. This deadly disaster was mainly caused by funnelling (狭管效应). When the earthquake happens, the ground and buildings will shake terribly. In serious situations, buildings may even fall down and will bury people in the ground. Recently, in Taiwan, the most powerful earthquake in a quarter century rocked the island on April 3rd. At least nine people were killed and hundreds of people were hurt. Another example is rainstorms. They can flood many places. Dubai lies on the coast of the Persian Gulf and in the northeast of the U. A．E. with a long and beautiful coastline. It doesn’t rain a lot. But on April 16th, a big rainstorm hit Dubai. It rained so much in just 12 hours that it was like a year’s worth of rain. The heavy rain flooded roads, shopping malls, and even airports, causing a lot of damage (破坏). To better deal with natural disasters, we need to make our disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief coordination system (防灾救灾机制) better. Also, people should learn ways to protect themselves when facing natural disasters. But most importantly, we should realize that we are not the master of nature, we need to care about it and respect (尊重) it. 29．How many pieces of news about natural disasters are mentioned? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 30．What kind of damage can an earthquake probably cause? A．It can blow down a lot of trees overnight. B．It can make buildings fall and kill people.

B．How we can respect nature and live better with it. C．Where we can learn about different natural disasters. D．Which kind of natural disasters is the most dangerous. （C） A tornado is a tower of spinning air. Tornadoes can be very dangerous. The cause of tornadoes is not fully known. They form during thunderstorms. Inside the stormy clouds, warm air rises and cool air falls. The warm and cool air can begin to spin. This spinning air can push out of the storm clouds as a funnel. When the funnel of spinning air touches the ground, it becomes a tornado. There are three levels of tornadoes. Weak tornadoes have wind speeds that are below 160km/h. They last for less than ten minutes. They cause small damage like fallen tree branches. Strong tornadoes have wind speeds that are between 177km/h and 330km/h and can last about twenty minutes. These tornadoes can cause quite a bit of damage and can push cars and trains over. The most dangerous tornadoes are called violent tornadoes. They can last for longer than an hour and have wind speeds that are higher than 330km/h. These deadly tornadoes can lift houses and cars into the air. Tornadoes and cyclones are very different. Tornadoes form on land and cyclones form on the ocean. Tornadoes can be a few kilometres wide. The biggest cyclones can be hundreds of kilometres across. Some people set up a safe room in a basement. They get a radio, water, sleeping bags and extra food. They also keep their house and garden clean by getting rid of dead trees or weak fences. If a tornado alert is given, get your saferoom ready. Do not go outside or near windows. Hide under a large bed or table. Get out of your trailer or car. If you are outside, find flat ground. Lie down and protect your neck and head with your arms. Once the tornado is over, turn on the radio. Avoid any damaged areas and do not go near any fallen power lines. 33．What can we learn about tornadoes? A．Tornadoes usually happen on sunny and windy days. B．Tornadoes happen when the storm clouds touch the ground. C．Tornadoes can be hundreds of kilometres across the land. D．Tornadoes can take houses and cars into the air sometimes. 34．The following sentence can best be put at the beginning of _________. There are many different ways to prepare for a tornado. A．Paragraph 1 B．Paragraph 2 C．Paragraph 3 D．Paragraph 4 35．The meaning of the underlined phrase “getting rid of” might be ________. A．throwing B．keeping C．counting D．recording 36．What’s the purpose of the article? A．To introduce tornadoes to us. B．To show us the danger of tornadoes. C．To tell the differences of natural disasters. D．To give us some tips to protect ourselves. （D） No matter where you live, you may hear about the natural disasters. They bring many serious problems to people in disaster areas. They become ill, homeless and some of them even die in the disasters. Japan is located in East Asia, but it is an island in the North Pacific Ocean. Japan has more than 1,000 islands, but there are four main islands. Lots of rains fall in Japan at a lot of times of a year, especially in summer. There is a rainy season in early summer, and typhoons hit parts of the country every year during late summer. The heavy rains usually destroy the crops and plants. What’s worse, the rains usually cause huge floods. Floods in Japan can take away many things, including many people’s lives. A Japanese housing developer recently invented a “flood-resistant house”. It can not only keep water out of the house during floods but also float off (漂浮) the ground. Because of floods, the loss of housing is a difficult problem all over the world. While engineers are trying to find solutions, few ways are useful. Now, the Japanese housing developer tells the public that he came up with an answer the other day. It can keep people’s homes from getting flooded. Their new “flood-resistant house” was recently on a popular Japanese TV show and received much attention online. According to engineers, most houses will be in the flood when water reaches the windows, but their “flood-resistant house” can float up to five metres above the ground, so water will not reach the windows, and everything else is shut in the house safely. 37．What is the main idea of Para.1? A．Natural disasters bring people much trouble. B．Natural disasters may happen everywhere. C．Natural disasters always make people ill. D．Natural disasters can be heard every day. 38．Which of the following is TRUE? A．Typhoons hit parts of Japan in early summer. B．The floods mainly happen in Japan in autumn. C．Japan is an island in the East Pacific Ocean. D．Heavy rains cause floods in Japan in summer. 39．Why did a Japanese housing developer invent a “flood-resistant house”? A．To protect people from earthquakes. B．To reduce the loss of housing in floods. C．To keep people away from the ocean. D．To protect people from typhoons. 40．What can we infer from the passage? A．The “flood-resistant house” can fly high up into the sky. B．The “flood-resistant house” is popular all around the world. C．Japanese people might build more “flood-resistant houses”. D．Japanese engineers are living in the “flood-resistant house”. 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 There are lots of natural disasters every year. 41 Typhoons (台风) are some of the worst storms, usually around the Pacific Ocean (太平洋) and the South China Sea. Most happen in July, August and September. How does a typhoon happen? When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer sun, it evaporates (蒸发) into the air. This makes the air hotter. 42 Then cooler air around it rushes in. It fills the space that is left. After the air gets warmer, it starts to move quickly, making wind. The wind goes in circles and it keeps moving higher in the sky. The warmer the air gets, the quicker the wind moves. And when wind moves faster than 30 metres a second, a typhoon begins. A typhoon has two parts. One is called the “eye”. 43 The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye. Here are the strongest winds and hardest rains. Typhoons are very dangerous. In November in 2013, Typhoon Haiyan killed 6,000 people in Philippines. 44 What should we do when a typhoon hits? •Stay inside. 45 •Try to bring all of your things inside. Strong winds could even blow away your bikes! •Listen to the radio or TV or search on the Internet for important information. •If you’re told to go to a safer place, do it right now. A．More people were hurt and some others were missing. B．Close all the windows and stay away from them. C．Typhoons are among them. D．For example, strong winds cause many problems. E．In the eye, the wind does not move so fast. F．When the air gets warm enough, it starts to move high up into sky. G．It will be cold quickly. 四、任务型阅读 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容,用英语回答问题, 每个问题的答案不超过10个词。 Typhoons are some of the worst storms, usually around the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea. Most happen in July, August and September. How does a typhoon happen? When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer sun, it evaporates(蒸发) into the air. This makes the air hotter.

Right away, a father rushed to his son’s school, 53 he sadly found the building had come down. The man almost broke down. He remembered what he always said to his son, “No matter what happens, I’ll always be there for you!” And tears began to fill his eyes. He rushed to the back right corner of the building and started digging (挖) through the stones. As he 54 (work) in piles of stones, other helpless parents arrived. They said, “It’s too late! They’re all dead! Go home! It’s 55 (possible) for you to save him!” To each parent, he answered, “Are you going to help me or not?” No one joined him. The firemen and police also came and told him 56 (stop), “There are big fires. You’re in great 57 (dangerous). We’ll take care of it. Go home.” To them, he said again, “Are you going to help me now?” No one knew what to say. His fingers were hurt badly, but he dug even 58 (quick). For a long time, he kept digging for his son, stone by stone. Then, in the 38th hour, he pulled back a large stone and heard his son 59 (shout) for help. The man called his son’s name excitedly, “Peter!” Soon he heard back, “Dad? It’s me, Dad! I knew you would save me! You said that no matter what happened, you would always be there for me!

However, there was little rain in Brazil last year. The lake was short of water. The village was stranded on the lake bed as a result. California, America Using AI to stop fires California uses AI to report wild fire. The AI can find smoke and fire. It uses over a thousand cameras in forests across the state. In two months, AI found 77 fires before any 911 calls came in. Ogasawara Islands, Japan A new island came out An underwater volcano (火山) broke out on October 21,2023. By early November, a new island near Japan came out. The new island was as high as 20 meters above the sea and then it became smaller. Kenya Families left homes Many families in Kenya left their homes because of floods. Trains to and from Mombasa had to stop running. The floods started after heavy rain. The warm sea water made the weather worse. 26．What do people use AI to report in the news? A．Dry weather. B．Wild fire. C．Heavy rain.

They not only cause property (财产) loss but also take away people’s lives. Strong winds can be very terrible. On March 31st, 2024, strong winds hit Nanchang, Jiangxi province. The strong winds broke the windows into pieces and blew off three people sleeping at home, causing their deaths. What’s worse, more than 1,600 trees were blown down overnight. This deadly disaster was mainly caused by funnelling (狭管效应). When the earthquake happens, the ground and buildings will shake terribly. In serious situations, buildings may even fall down and will bury people in the ground. Recently, in Taiwan, the most powerful earthquake in a quarter century rocked the island on April 3rd. At least nine people were killed and hundreds of people were hurt. Another example is rainstorms. They can flood many places. Dubai lies on the coast of the Persian Gulf and in the northeast of the U. A．E. with a long and beautiful coastline. It doesn’t rain a lot. But on April 16th, a big rainstorm hit Dubai. It rained so much in just 12 hours that it was like a year’s worth of rain. The heavy rain flooded roads, shopping malls, and even airports, causing a lot of damage (破坏). To better deal with natural disasters, we need to make our disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief coordination system (防灾救灾机制) better. Also, people should learn ways to protect themselves when facing natural disasters. But most importantly, we should realize that we are not the master of nature, we need to care about it and respect (尊重) it. 29．How many pieces of news about natural disasters are mentioned? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 30．What kind of damage can an earthquake probably cause? A．It can blow down a lot of trees overnight. B．It can make buildings fall and kill people.

B．How we can respect nature and live better with it. C．Where we can learn about different natural disasters. D．Which kind of natural disasters is the most dangerous. （C） A tornado is a tower of spinning air. Tornadoes can be very dangerous. The cause of tornadoes is not fully known. They form during thunderstorms. Inside the stormy clouds, warm air rises and cool air falls. The warm and cool air can begin to spin. This spinning air can push out of the storm clouds as a funnel. When the funnel of spinning air touches the ground, it becomes a tornado. There are three levels of tornadoes. Weak tornadoes have wind speeds that are below 160km/h. They last for less than ten minutes. They cause small damage like fallen tree branches. Strong tornadoes have wind speeds that are between 177km/h and 330km/h and can last about twenty minutes. These tornadoes can cause quite a bit of damage and can push cars and trains over. The most dangerous tornadoes are called violent tornadoes. They can last for longer than an hour and have wind speeds that are higher than 330km/h. These deadly tornadoes can lift houses and cars into the air. Tornadoes and cyclones are very different. Tornadoes form on land and cyclones form on the ocean. Tornadoes can be a few kilometres wide. The biggest cyclones can be hundreds of kilometres across. Some people set up a safe room in a basement. They get a radio, water, sleeping bags and extra food. They also keep their house and garden clean by getting rid of dead trees or weak fences. If a tornado alert is given, get your saferoom ready. Do not go outside or near windows. Hide under a large bed or table. Get out of your trailer or car. If you are outside, find flat ground. Lie down and protect your neck and head with your arms. Once the tornado is over, turn on the radio. Avoid any damaged areas and do not go near any fallen power lines. 33．What can we learn about tornadoes? A．Tornadoes usually happen on sunny and windy days. B．Tornadoes happen when the storm clouds touch the ground. C．Tornadoes can be hundreds of kilometres across the land. D．Tornadoes can take houses and cars into the air sometimes. 34．The following sentence can best be put at the beginning of _________. There are many different ways to prepare for a tornado. A．Paragraph 1 B．Paragraph 2 C．Paragraph 3 D．Paragraph 4 35．The meaning of the underlined phrase “getting rid of” might be ________. A．throwing B．keeping C．counting D．recording 36．What’s the purpose of the article? A．To introduce tornadoes to us. B．To show us the danger of tornadoes. C．To tell the differences of natural disasters. D．To give us some tips to protect ourselves. （D） No matter where you live, you may hear about the natural disasters. They bring many serious problems to people in disaster areas. They become ill, homeless and some of them even die in the disasters. Japan is located in East Asia, but it is an island in the North Pacific Ocean. Japan has more than 1,000 islands, but there are four main islands. Lots of rains fall in Japan at a lot of times of a year, especially in summer. There is a rainy season in early summer, and typhoons hit parts of the country every year during late summer. The heavy rains usually destroy the crops and plants. What’s worse, the rains usually cause huge floods. Floods in Japan can take away many things, including many people’s lives. A Japanese housing developer recently invented a “flood-resistant house”. It can not only keep water out of the house during floods but also float off (漂浮) the ground. Because of floods, the loss of housing is a difficult problem all over the world. While engineers are trying to find solutions, few ways are useful. Now, the Japanese housing developer tells the public that he came up with an answer the other day. It can keep people’s homes from getting flooded. Their new “flood-resistant house” was recently on a popular Japanese TV show and received much attention online. According to engineers, most houses will be in the flood when water reaches the windows, but their “flood-resistant house” can float up to five metres above the ground, so water will not reach the windows, and everything else is shut in the house safely. 37．What is the main idea of Para.1? A．Natural disasters bring people much trouble. B．Natural disasters may happen everywhere. C．Natural disasters always make people ill. D．Natural disasters can be heard every day. 38．Which of the following is TRUE? A．Typhoons hit parts of Japan in early summer. B．The floods mainly happen in Japan in autumn. C．Japan is an island in the East Pacific Ocean. D．Heavy rains cause floods in Japan in summer. 39．Why did a Japanese housing developer invent a “flood-resistant house”? A．To protect people from earthquakes. B．To reduce the loss of housing in floods. C．To keep people away from the ocean. D．To protect people from typhoons. 40．What can we infer from the passage? A．The “flood-resistant house” can fly high up into the sky. B．The “flood-resistant house” is popular all around the world. C．Japanese people might build more “flood-resistant houses”. D．Japanese engineers are living in the “flood-resistant house”. 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 There are lots of natural disasters every year. 41 Typhoons (台风) are some of the worst storms, usually around the Pacific Ocean (太平洋) and the South China Sea. Most happen in July, August and September. How does a typhoon happen? When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer sun, it evaporates (蒸发) into the air. This makes the air hotter. 42 Then cooler air around it rushes in. It fills the space that is left. After the air gets warmer, it starts to move quickly, making wind. The wind goes in circles and it keeps moving higher in the sky. The warmer the air gets, the quicker the wind moves. And when wind moves faster than 30 metres a second, a typhoon begins. A typhoon has two parts. One is called the “eye”. 43 The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye. Here are the strongest winds and hardest rains. Typhoons are very dangerous. In November in 2013, Typhoon Haiyan killed 6,000 people in Philippines. 44 What should we do when a typhoon hits? •Stay inside. 45 •Try to bring all of your things inside. Strong winds could even blow away your bikes! •Listen to the radio or TV or search on the Internet for important information. •If you’re told to go to a safer place, do it right now. A．More people were hurt and some others were missing. B．Close all the windows and stay away from them. C．Typhoons are among them. D．For example, strong winds cause many problems. E．In the eye, the wind does not move so fast. F．When the air gets warm enough, it starts to move high up into sky. G．It will be cold quickly. 四、任务型阅读 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容,用英语回答问题, 每个问题的答案不超过10个词。 Typhoons are some of the worst storms, usually around the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea.

They’re all dead! Go home! It’s 55 (possible) for you to save him!” To each parent, he answered, “Are you going to help me or not?” No one joined him. The firemen and police also came and told him 56 (stop), “There are big fires. You’re in great 57 (dangerous). We’ll take care of it. Go home.” To them, he said again, “Are you going to help me now?” No one knew what to say. His fingers were hurt badly, but he dug even 58 (quick). For a long time, he kept digging for his son, stone by stone. Then, in the 38th hour, he pulled back a large stone and heard his son 59 (shout) for help.
