By flood, typhoon, or earthquake, these events have altogether taken millions of human lives. Yangtze River Flood The major flood of 1931 covered tens of thousands of square miles, flooding rice fields and many cities, including Nanjing and Wuhan. The flood influenced more than 50 million people. Government organizations, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, estimated (估计) that about 3.7 million people died in this disaster. Typhoon Nina Typhoon Nina struck Henan province of China in August 1975. The typhoon caused a serious dam (水坝) failure, and more than 150,000 people were dead or injured. According to reports, at least 26, 000 people died in the floods. About 145,000 people died from diseases caused by water pollution and famine (饥荒) . The number of people influenced by the disaster was more than 10,000,000. Kashmir Earthquake On October 8, 2005, a disastrous earthquake struck the Jashmir region. The earthquake measured 7.6, followed by many aftershocks, landslides, and falling rocks. The seriousness of the damage and the high number of deaths were worsened by poor construction (建筑). In Kashmir, at least 79,000 people were killed, and more than 32,000 buildings broke down. Haitian Earthquake At the beginning of 2010, an earthquake hit Haiti. The earthquake measured 7.0 and was followed by aftershocks that measured 5.9 and 5.5. Another aftershock that measured 5.9 struck on January 20. There have been different views about the total number of deaths caused by this earthquake, but estimates suggest that about 200,000 — 300,000 people died. Hundreds of thousands more were forced to leave their homes. 1. Which natural disaster caused the most deaths? A. Typhoon Nina. B. Kashmir Earthquake. C. Haiti Earthquake. D. Yangtze River Flood. 2. What made the situation in Kashmir more serious? A. The serious aftershocks. B. The continuous falling rocks. C. The terrible construction. D. The diseases after the earthquake. 3. What can we learn about the earthquake that hit Haiti? A. It happened only once. B. It left many people homeless. C. It had many secondary disasters. D. It happened in the hottest season. Gertrude Ederle was born on October 23, 1905, in New York City. She was the third of six children, and from a young age she showed an endless energy and a love for water. Her father, Henry Ederle, ran a shop which was next to where the family lived. His efforts to keep her safe after a near-drowning (溺水) accident when she was seven led to Gertrude’s first swimming lesson. Gertrude grew up in a time when women were often stopped from heavy physical activity — and swimming competitions for women were quite new. Despite this, she joined the Women’s Swimming Association (WSA) in New York at about age twelve, and won three medals at the Paris Olympic Games in 1924: two bronze medals and one gold. But Gertrude’s ambition went beyond Olympic medals. In 1925 she attempted (尝试) to swim across the English Channel — a swim of over twenty miles in cold water. Her first try failed: strong waves and cold weather forced her to give up before completing the crossing. Unstoppable, she trained harder. Wearing special equipment her sister helped design, she made a second attempt on August 6, 1926. This time, she succeeded becoming the first woman to swim the English Channel, and doing so in 14 hours 31 minutes, which beat the men’s record at that time. Later years were not without hardship. She suffered from hearing loss (丧失) which began when she was young, and in 1933 had a serious back injury (伤). Despite this, she continued her career by teaching children, with a special focus on those who, like her, lived with hearing difficulty. Besides, she also worked with swimming associations. Gertrude passed away on November 30, 2003, aged 98. Her spirit lives on in her records and how she changed old ideas. She helped prove that women could compete and succeed in athletic challenges long considered beyond their reach. 4. What made Gertrude have her first swimming lesson? A. Her father’s worry. B. Her love for water. C. The water accident. D. The support of WSA. 5. What can we learn about Gertrude’s crossing the English Channel? A. She failed several times. B. She broke the men’s record. C. She attempted twice in a year. D. She made it without any support. 6. Which of the following best describes Gertrude? A. Talented and creative. B. Responsible and honest. C Determined and brave. D. Intelligent and confident. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To encourage overcoming challenges. B. To show women’s potential in sports. C. To highlight Gertrude’s achievements. D. To introduce an inspiring female figure. In the old libraries of Dunhuang’s Mogao Caves, a 21-year-old computer student named Zhang Wei found something amazing. While studying 50,000 ancient papers scanned (扫描) into computers since 2020, she noticed that 30% had strange marks no one could read. These marks came from old languages once used along the Silk Road. This led her to create “SilkRoad AI” — a computer program that mixes language studies with smart machines to understand forgotten writing. Zhang’s success came from studying stone markers in Xi’an. These stones had the same message in Chinese and two other ancient languages. Her program looked at how the marks were drawn and what they might mean. After months of work, the AI guessed 82% of the unknown marks correctly by matching them to known sounds. But some experts voiced different opinions. Professor Li from Beijing University said, “Computers can’t understand the hidden stories in old writings.” In 2023, Zhang’s team tested their AI at an international history meeting. They used it to read a 1,200-year-old medical book from an ancient kingdom. The computer translated plant names and found 17 types still used in traditional medicine. When scientists checked these findings against modern plant records, they were proved correct. The test helped Zhang get UNESCO’s support to protect disappearing local languages. Now working with the British Museum on ancient Indian writings, Zhang’s AI has helped experts understand 4,000-year-old business records. Her newest idea uses phone cameras — when visitors point their phones at damaged paintings in the Mogao Caves, they can see repaired pictures with computer-translated explanations. “We’re not just solving word puzzles,” Zhang says. “We’re helping people from different times and places talk to each other again.” 8. What led Zhang Wei to create “SilkRoad AI”? A. A program about the Silk Road. B. Her interest in computer science. C. Strange marks on ancient papers. D. Amazing libraries of Mogao Caves. 9. What was Professor Li’s attitude towards Zhang Wei’s methods? A. Doubtful. B. Uninterested. C. Unclear. D. Positive. 10. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. A study on traditional medicine. B. An international history meeting. C. The effectiveness of SilkRoad AI. D. The protection of local languages. 11. What can we learn from Zhang’s words in the last paragraph? A. Her newest idea is creative. B. Her work easily solves word puzzles. C. Her AI helps understand business records. D. Her program connects the past and present. After waking up at the midnight every day for a week, today you might be told you have insomnia (失眠). But a few generations ago, this may hardly have been reason for concern. Waking in the middle of the night was common, if not the norm, in western preindustrial cultures, according to Roger Ekirch, a professor of history who researched segmented (分段的) sleep. With schedules ruled by the sun rather than clocks and electric lights, people likely went to bed earlier and, instead of a quick, continuous eight hours, may have enjoyed a longer rest period, which included two shorter sleeps broken by a period of wakefulness. But today, with electricity to lengthen our waking hours and alarms to cut short our rest, most people try to sleep in one continuous session. Historical records contain signs of two periods of sleep in humans dating back to hundreds of years. At that time, people would sleep for several hours, and reawaken sometime after midnight for an hour before returning to bed for the second sleep. Some experts believe that this behavior may still be in our nature. In his 1992 pioneering work on the subject, scientist Thomas Wehr observed that, after several weeks of being limited to a dark room for 14 hours per day, nearly all participants had changed into the sleep cycle. In fact, these periods of wakefulness between sleep could even serve as a guard. In one experiment, participants would wake up at a little different times each night and that, usually, there was no time when every single person was asleep. From a developing point of view, this might have served a “guard function” by making sure that there was always someone awake to keep watch for the group. Because sleep is influenced by environmental and social factors, patterns can vary widely among different people. “I mainly don’t think that there’s any one pattern of sleep that is the human sleep pattern,” Russell Foster adds. “I think that adaptability (适应力) is the main feature.” 12. Why did people in the past have a longer rest period? A. They had a free schedule. B. They lived a life without alarms. C. They followed natural laws. D. They formed a weak sense of time. 13. What do the underlined words “this behavior” refer to in paragraph 3? A. The return to sleep. B. The segmented sleep. C. Sleeping for several hours. D. Waking up at a certain time. 14. What is the role of wakefulness between sleep? A. Keeping the group safe. B. Controlling sleep periods. C. Increasing social connection. D. Strengthening sleep adaptability. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. The recorded study on human sleep. B. The science behind segmented sleep. C. How segmented sleep benefits humans. D. How social factors influence sleep patterns. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 BE A GOOD TOURIST Tourism can be both good and bad.
