[对应知能达标训练P13] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A The City of Christchurch，New Zealand was struck by a 7.1-magnitude earthquake on the early morning of Saturday，September 4，2010. No tsunami alert was reported.The country's army troops were on standby to assist victims and disaster recovery operation.New Zealand's Prime Minister John Key，flew to the affected area to inspect and assess(评估) the situation of the damaged city.The Prime Minister said that the full assessment of the damages would possibly take months to know the severity of damages.Based from his assessment on what he saw in the area，it could cost at least 2 billion New Zealand dollars or US $ 1.4 billion for reconstruction. “An absolute miracle (奇迹) that no one died，” Prime Minister John Key said.Two were seriously injured from this quake and thousands of local residents were awakened after being shaken at 4：35 a．m.of that Saturday. There were people trapped inside the damaged buildings but fortunately none were reported dead from the rubble of the damaged buildings. “We're all feeling scared—we've just had some significant aftershocks，” a survivor told TV One News.“Tonight we're just people in the face of a massive natural disaster，trying to help each other...and we're grateful we haven't lost a life.” GNS Science reported 29 aftershocks within the 14 hours after the quake，with strength from magnitude 3.7 to 5.4. New Zealand is no stranger to earthquakes．The country experiences more than 14，000 earthquakes a year—but only about 150 are felt by people. “Many buildings here were built with earthquake protection measure.However，in most cities in developing countries，people build how they want to...and there're no building controls to force them to build to a higher standard that's safe.”Andrew Charleson，an architecture professor at Victoria University of Wellington told CNN.

Most of us，when we talk about volcanoes，think of the classic cone(圆锥体) shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro，which are created when erupting magma(岩浆) piles up.These can form remarkably quickly.In 1943，a Mexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land.In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high.Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a mile across.Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth，all but a few hundred of them extinct.There is，however，a second less known type of volcano that doesn't involve mountain building.These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack，leaving behind a vast hole，the caldera.Yellowstone obviously was of this second type，but Christiansen couldn't find the caldera anywhere. Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone.A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow-up for one of the visitors' centers.As soon as Christiansen saw the photos，he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera：almost the whole park－2.2 million acres－was caldera.The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across－much too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level.At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown up with a violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans. [解题导语]　本文是一篇说明文，文章提到，克里斯蒂安森研究黄石国家公园的时候在公园内找不到破火山口，后来发现几乎整个公园都是破火山口。 5．What puzzled Christiansen when he was studying Yellowstone? A．Its complicated geographical features. B．Its ever-lasting influence on tourism. C．The mysterious history of the park. D．The exact location of the volcano. 解析　D　细节理解题。本题题干意为：当Christiansen研究黄石国家公园的时候，什么事情让他感到迷惑？根据文章第一段第一句“...Bob Christiansen became puzzled about something that，oddly，had not troubled anyone before: he couldn't find the park's volcano.”可知应选D项(火山的确切位置)。A：它复杂的地理特征；B：它对旅游业的永久的影响；C：这个公园神秘的历史。 6．What does the second paragraph mainly talk about? A．The shapes of volcanoes. B．The impacts of volcanoes. C．The activities of volcanoes. D．The heights of volcanoes. 解析　A　主旨要义题。本题题干意为：第二段主要讲的是什么？根据第二段第一句中“the classic cone shapes”和最后三句可知，第二段介绍了火山的两种形状，故选A项。B：火山的影响；C：火山的活动；D：火山的高度。 7．What does the underlined word “blow-up” in the last paragraph most probably mean? A．Hot-air balloon.　 B．Digital camera. C．Big photograph.　 D．Bird's view. 解析　C　猜测词义题。本题题干意为：最后一段中的画线词blow-up最有可能是什么意思？根据文章最后一段中美国航空航天局用高空照相机拍摄黄石国家公园及Christiansen看到照片后意识到自己为什么找不到破火山口，可知画线词意为“大照片”。故C项正确。A：热气球；B：数码相机；D：鸟瞰。 Ⅱ.完形填空 Within five minutes of meeting Olivia Ports，I knew she was a special teenager.
