Not only Mumbai but also some other cities were seriously affected by the floods caused by this rainfall. According to the Indian government, the city received over 200 mm of rain in the last 48hours. This is said to be the heaviest shower received by this city this year. Some suburbs and parts of the city have reportedflooding and property damage. The water level rose above four fcet in some areas causing serious damage. The central part of Mumbai was the worst affected. The electric poles in many areas fell down, which led to a blackout(停电)and brought death threat to a number of citizens. All means of the public transport were cancelled. North Konkan is very likely to receive heavy rainfall at faraway places for the next 24 hours. The effect will reduce later. Official sources said they had received some donations and contributions from all over the country. More and more people will pour in donations. It will take about two weeks to go back to normal. Citizens are required to avoid stepping out unnecessarily. For any help, they could call the helpline number. And the following tips may be helpful to you when it is raining: If you are inside the room, close the door and windows. Turn off the electrical appliances if there is thunder or lightning. If you are outside, wear raincoats or take the umbrella, and stay away from the walls,trees and electric poles. If you are driving, drive slowly and carefully.

The practice of naming these storms has a long history.Before the 20th century, they were named by the time they anpeared or the place where they landed. For example, the hurricane that destroyed Galveston in 1900 is remembered as the Great Galveston Hurricane. The practice of giving storms personal names appears to start from Clement Wragge.He was an Australian meorologist(气象学家).In the 1890s,he named storms after women,story characters and so on. The modern system of using personal names developed during World War II. At that time, people began using women's names. Short and quickly understood, names were easier to send by radio and easier to remember if there was more than one stormn in a given area. In 1953,the system was made formal. And men's names were added to the list in 1979. How are storm names picked today? A special group of the World Meteorological Organization(世界气象织)keeps lists of names for storms. The nameson the list must be short,special, and have something to do with their cultural and geographic areas. For the Atlantic basin (盆地),there are six lists of 21 names each. If there are more than 21 named storms, Greek letters are used.For the Western Pacific/South China Sea basin, names on the lists are givenby countries.The lists recur vearly. But if a hurricane or typhoon is especially destructive(破坏性的),that name will not be repeated again, such as Katrina (2005), Sandy (2012), Haiyan (2013), Meranti (2016),Harvey (2017), Irma (2017), and Michael (2018). 25. How does the writer begin the article? A. By listing a number. B. By showing an idea. C. By asking a question. D. By describing an accident. 26. What was the Great Galveston Hurricane named after? A. A person B. A place. C. An animal. D. A tree 27. When did people begin to use men's names for storms? A. During World War II. B. In 1953. C. In 1979 D. In 1900. 28. What does the underlined word “recur” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Change. B. Reduce .C. Repeat. D. Improve. C Climate change is the biggest threat to our planet. As temperatures increase, the ice caps and glaciers(冰川)around the world are starting to melt(融化),meaning sea levels will get higher.We are already seeing the results of climate change with an increase in extreme weather events such as hurricanes(器风)and wildfires and serious shortages of water. All over the world there are people living in difficult conditions. But difficult conditions often inspire creative solutions. Every year the Philippines are hit by typhoons. These violent storms often kill hundreds of people and causc damage to the islands. One company has come up with a house that stands up to the strongest of winds. The houses built in a dome (穹顶) shape and the curvedsurfaces are much better at surviving in storms than traditional flat roofs and walls. They are also better at surviving earthquakes. Wildfires often cause destruction in many places around the world. In 2015, bush fires burned down plants in South Ausralia. This made the land difficult to farm as strong winds blew the soil away. A farmer called Brian Fischer had a brilliant idea. He ploughed (耕) the fields in spirals(螺旋形). This means that it doesn't matter which way the wind blows because it can never blow away the soil. A lack of water is also a serious problem. In the Himalayan Desert, water is difficult tofind in spring. The Ice Stupa project has come up with a clever solution. In winter, a pipe(管道)takes water from higher up in the mountains down to the desert, where it rushes out as a fountain(喷泉).Because it is so cold in the desert, the water freezes and makes frozen towers of ice. In spring, the ice melts giving the farmers the water thev need for their land. 29. The underlined word “They" refers to A. houses that are designed to stand up to winds B. violent storms that kill hundreds of people C. the companies that built houses in a round shape D. the Philippines that are hit by typhoons 30. Which of the following extreme weather are mentioned in the passage? ①typhoon ②heavy rain ③ hurticanes ④ wildfres ⑤thunder A. ①③④ B.①③⑤ C.②③④ D. (2)④⑤ 31. What is NOT needed to deal with the lack of water? A. The ice melt in spring to provide the water. B. The frozen ice towers c n store water. C. A pipe takes water from higher up in the mountain. D. A fountain is built to carry the falhng water. 32. What is the writer's main purpose? A. To remind peopte to save water B. To find results of serious problems. C. To make people come up with smart ideas. D. To explain causes of difficult condition 四、信息还原(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分) There are some listening skills for students to follow in class, which means you're going to have to practise. Just as you would have to practise playing basketball to be a better player, you also have to practise listening. How do you listen in school? 33 One of the things you need to do is make sure that your mind doesn't wander(走神).It's easy to start thinking about other things,especially when you're not interested in the subject. 34 Next, listen for the main ideas.

But that can change very quickly if an avalanche happens. An avalanche is quite a lot of snow, ice and rocks moving quickly down a mountain, usually on slopes (斜坡) of 30 to 45 . It can move at speeds at 96 km/h to 129 km/h. Different things can make avalanches happen suddenly. About 90% of avalanches happen because of humans, like climbers and snow mobiles(雪地摩托).Strong winds,earthquakes,and even animals can also make them happen. Avalanches happen all year around. Most of them are small, but in high mountains, such as the Alps and the Himalayas, they can be very large and dangerous. When it happens, the fast-moving snow, ice and rocks can cover people, all the houses and villages along the way.The snow becomes too hard to move. That can make people under it die of the cold. However,what can we do to keep safe if we want to climb snow mountains? Education and right training can help. They can give us useful advice. For example, never start climbing when the snow begins melting(融化),especially in spring. Avalanches may happen in this season at any minute. Wait for at least 2 days to start climbing after a snowstorm. Bring useful tools, like a beacon (信标) to help others find you. Phones sometimes don't work on mountains. Keeping quiet on the mountains is also important. Anyway, avalanches are part of nature. We need to have respect for the mountains and weather all the time. 38.
