Luckily, due to a ten-year-old girl's basic knowledge of tsunamis, Goldshore Beach became the only local beach 3 (survive) the disaster without any loss of life. On that day, people were walking, running or simply sitting on the sandy beach, enjoying the warm sea air and the soft wind that brushed their hair 4 something odd happened. The water was frothy, like the bubbles on the top of a beer. It wasn't calm, instead, it was just coming in and in. 5 (see) this, the little girl named Sabrina realized that these were the 6   (sign) of an approaching tsunami. Though 7 (frighten), she kept her head and warned her parents and a safety officer 8 the danger. At last, the beach was 9 (rapid ) cleared of people just before the huge waves 10 (crash) into the coast. 【答案】 1．an 2．dead 3．to survive 4．when 5．Seeing 6．signs 7．frightened 8．of 9．rapidly 10．crashed 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述一个名叫Sabrina的10岁女孩用她对海啸的基本常识帮助海滩上的人逃离危险。 1．考查冠词。句意：12月20日，由海底地震引起的一系列巨浪席卷了金海岸附近的海洋，造成数千人死亡。earthquake“地震”为可数名词，此处指一场地震，应用不定冠词，又undersea的发音为元音音素开头，故填an。 2．考查形容词作宾补。句意：12月20日，由海底地震引起的一系列巨浪席卷了金海岸附近的海洋，造成数千人死亡。结合句意可知，句中leave意为“使处于”，其后接形容词dead“死亡的”作为宾语thousands的补足语。故填dead。 3．考查非谓语动词。句意：幸运的是，由于一个10岁女孩对海啸的基本知识，金海岸海滩成为当地唯一一个在灾难中幸存下来没有任何生命损失的海滩。当名词被the only修饰时，其后用不定式作后置定语。故填to survive。 4．考查固定句型。句意：那一天，当人们正在散步、跑步或只是坐在沙滩上享受着温暖的海洋空气和微风拂过头发时，突然奇怪的事情发生了。分析可知，此处为固定句型be doing...when...“过去正在做某事（这时）突然......”，when为并列连词。故填when。 5．考查非谓语动词。句意：看到这一切，小女孩萨布丽娜意识到这是海啸逼近的迹象。分析可知，此处应用非谓语动词作状语，逻辑主语the little girl和see之间为主动关系，应用现在分词。故填Seeing。 6．考查名词的数。句意：看到这一切，小女孩萨布丽娜意识到这是海啸逼近的迹象。sign“迹象”为可数名词，根据前文these可知应用其复数形式作表语。故填signs。 7．考查形容词。句意：虽然很害怕，但她保持冷静，警告她的父母和安全官员有危险。分析可知，此处应用形容词和though构成状语，结合句意表示“感到害怕的”应用frightened（过去分词转化而来的形容词）。故填frightened。 8．考查介词。句意：虽然很害怕，但她保持冷静，警告她的父母和安全官员有危险。此处为固定短语warn sb. of sth.“警告某人某事”。故填of。 9．考查副词。句意：最终，就在巨浪冲击海岸之前，海滩上的人很快撤离了。此处应用副词修饰动词was cleared。故填rapidly。 10．考查时态。句意：最终，就在巨浪冲击海岸之前，海滩上的人很快撤离了。分析可知，此处为时间状语从句的谓语动词，结合语境和上文的was可知为一般过去时。故填crashed。 六、阅读理解 （一） Scientists in the United States have developed a computer program that they say could provide an early warning of major earthquakes. The new system is designed to give warnings seconds before an earthquake strikes. That may not sound like very long. However, it could give people time to get under a table or take shelter someplace safe. The flow of electric power or gas could be cut off. Air traffic controllers could warn away pilots. Even so­called “smart buildings” could be designed to get ready. The system uses a mathematical program to measure information collected by instruments deployed across the Los Angeles area. Southern California has more than 150 seismic (地震的) stations that measure movements within the ground. The information they collect is sent to a high­speed computer. An earthquake shakes the ground with two kinds of waves. The new system uses information from a low­energy wave that moves quickly but causes little damage. Experts call this the P­wave. The slower but stronger S­wave is the main threat to life. Japan has a system based on P­waves. There, the warnings are used to slow down high­speed bullet trains. Other countries have warning systems that measure S­waves. The new system is designed to estimate the strength of the earthquake once the shaking starts. Areas directly above the center of the earthquake would have the least warning. Distant places might have as long as forty seconds. The scientists are still testing their system in the Los Angeles area. Professor Allen notes that an early warning system for earthquakes would require great attention from the public. 1．Which of the following is TRUE about the new earthquake warning system? A．It can give people enough time to run away from earthquakes. B．It can give people seconds to take immediate measures. C．It is developed in Japan. D．It is a system based on S­waves. 2．Which of the following can benefit from the new system most? A．Areas far away from the center of the earthquake. B．Areas directly above the center of the earthquake. C．The Los Angel-es area. D．High­speed bullet trains. 3．From what Professor Allen notes in the last paragraph we can infer that________. A．it’s very important for people to become educated B．it’s very important to warn people before an earthquake starts C．it’s very important for people to know about earthquakes D．it’s very important for people to know about the new system 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要是讲述了一种新的地震警报系统，介绍了其工作原理以及优势。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“The new system is designed to give warnings seconds before an earthquake strikes.(新系统的设计目的是在地震发生前几秒钟发出警报)”可知，B选项“它可以给人们几秒钟的时间采取立即的措施”正确。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The new system is designed to estimate the strength of the earthquake once the shaking starts. Areas directly above the center of the earthquake would have the least warning. Distant places might have as long as forty seconds.(新系统的设计目的是在地震开始时估计地震的强度。地震中心正上方的地区预警最少。遥远的地方可能有长达40秒的时间)”可知，远离地震中心的地区可以从新系统中获益最多。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“The scientists are still testing their system in the Los Angeles area. Professor Allen notes that an early warning system for earthquakes would require great attention from the public.(科学家们仍在洛杉矶地区测试他们的系统。艾伦教授指出，地震早期预警系统需要公众的高度关注)”可知，人们了解新系统是非常重要的。故选D。 （二） Jesse Barber, a documentary photographer and lifelong resident (居民) of Western North Carolina, brings a deeply personal camera to cover (报导) the destruction of Hurricane Helene. As a graduate of Appalachian State University in Documentary and Appalachian Studies, Barber focuses on capturing rural life in his beloved mountains. However, Helene met an unexpected challenge. “The photos of destruction are endless, and are going to continue to be endless,” he said. Barber drove over 1,000 miles in the region over three days last week, to Brevard and beyond, finding places to shoot, talking with rescue workers and residents. But as a local, Barber brought a different focus than many journalists and photographers covering the storm’s destruction and the beginnings of recovery. “I started to feel the outsider in me becomes the insider,” he says. His copious knowledge of the conditions in the area proved crucial. When an editor suggested staying in an Asheville hotel, Barber knew it was impossible. Leaving his own flooding basement to the outside, he found no more gas or food, proving that the situation was far worse than editors understood. At a Marion gas station, he photographed a man whose house was half-destroyed, a pure (纯粹的) introduction to the degree of personal loss. Barber’s practice prioritized (优先) human connection over taking quick disaster photos. “I’m trying to experience and listen,” he says, valuing the sense of place and people. While documenting shocking geological changes, he also sought resilience (韧性) and hope among the disaster. He met tired and hungry residents keeping positive attitudes, like a Bat Cave-born volunteer firefighter in Chimney Rock who insisted, “We’ll be all right... Things will be a little different but we’ll still be here.” As national attention changes, Barber will remain focused on Appalachian. His rapid action during Hurricane Helene “confirmed my investment in staying rooted in place”, he says, keeping his promise to live in Western North Carolina over larger art centers. “I do feel like my work and my instruction are worthwhile. I just want to do my people good.” 4．What prepared Barber to cover Hurricane Helene? A．His studies in big cities. B．His local life experience. C．Special disaster training. D．Work with national media. 5．What does the underlined word “copious” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Limited. B．Broad. C．Backward. D．Further. 6．What makes Barber’s photos different from others? A．Centering on destruction. B．Ignoring people’s suffering. C．Focusing on people’s spirit. D．Avoiding geological change. 7．What does Barber’s story show? A．Social responsibilities matter. B．Disaster shots deliver impact. C．Big cities offer better growth. D．Teamwork is crucial in media. 【答案】4．B 5．B 6．C 7．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了纪录片摄影师杰西·巴伯凭借当地生活经验报道飓风“海伦妮”的破坏及灾后情况 。 4．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Jesse Barber, a documentary photographer and lifelong resident (居民) of Western North Carolina, brings a deeply personal camera to cover (报导) the destruction of Hurricane Helene.(杰西·巴伯是一名纪录片摄影师，也是北卡罗来纳州西部的终身居民，他带着一台极具个人色彩的相机来报道飓风“海伦妮”造成的破坏)”以及第二段中“But as a local, Barber brought a different focus than many journalists and photographers covering the storm’s destruction and the beginnings of recovery.(但作为当地人，巴伯的关注点与许多报道风暴破坏和灾后重建初期情况的记者和摄影师不同)”可知，巴伯的当地生活经历使他能够报道飓风“海伦妮”。故选B。 5．词句猜测题。根据第三段中“His copious knowledge of the conditions in the area proved crucial. When an editor suggested staying in an Asheville hotel, Barber knew it was impossible.(他对该地区情况的copious知识被证明至关重要。当一位编辑建议住在阿什维尔的一家酒店时，巴伯知道这是不可能的)”可知，巴伯对当地情况很了解，所以“copious”意思是“丰富的”，与“Broad”意思相近。故选B。 6．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Barber’s practice prioritized (优先) human connection over taking quick disaster photos.(巴伯的做法优先考虑人与人之间的联系，而不是快速拍摄灾难照片)”以及“While documenting shocking geological changes, he also sought resilience (韧性) and hope among the disaster.(在记录令人震惊的地质变化的同时，他也在灾难中寻找韧性和希望)”可知，巴伯的照片与其他人不同之处在于他关注人们的精神。故选C。 7．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As national attention changes, Barber will remain focused on Appalachian. His rapid action during Hurricane Helene “confirmed my investment in staying rooted in place”, he says, keeping his promise to live in Western North Carolina over larger art centers.(随着全国关注的焦点发生变化，巴伯将继续关注阿巴拉契亚。他说，他在飓风“海伦妮”期间的迅速行动“证实了我扎根于此的决心”，他兑现了留在北卡罗来纳州西部而不是去更大的艺术中心的承诺)”以及“I just want to do my people good.(我只想为我的人民做点好事)”可知，巴伯的故事表明社会责任很重要。故选A。 8 / 8 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 2 Period 1 Welcome to the unit & Reading分层练习 基础达标 01 能力提升 02 拓展培优 03 一、英汉互译 1．deserve 2．delighted 3．enthusiastic 4．defeat 5．compose 6．心情 n. 7．检查身体 v. 8．通知，告知 v. 9．合作，协作n. 10．趋向，动向n. 二、选词填空 选用下面单词的正确形式填空 apartment   display   wander   gallery   shade   signal   convey   draw 1．But she was thrilled by so many wonderful treasures from different cultures in the museum. 2．I in the street when I caught sight of a tailor’s shop. 3．The young man was suspected of stealing money from that and was arrested. 4．The paintings on exhibition in the are from the Palace Museum. 5．China first had to put a satellite in orbit above the moon in a spot where it could send to the spacecraft and to Earth. 6．The trees provide for the animals in summer. 7．I am writing to my gratitude for your kind help and care during my stay in Denmark, without which I wouldn’t have enjoyed it so much. 8．While wandering there, he spotted a boy on the wall. 三、完成句子 1．心中交织着如释重负和心有余悸的感受，他们紧紧相拥，泪流满面。 Overwhelmed with , the three hugged each other tightly, with tears rolling down their faces. 2．男人向出口冲去，惊恐地逃走了。 and escaped in great panic.

Professor Allen notes that an early warning system for earthquakes would require great attention from the public.(科学家们仍在洛杉矶地区测试他们的系统。艾伦教授指出，地震早期预警系统需要公众的高度关注)”可知，人们了解新系统是非常重要的。故选D。 （二） 4．B 5．B 6．C 7．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了纪录片摄影师杰西·巴伯凭借当地生活经验报道飓风“海伦妮”的破坏及灾后情况 。 4．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Jesse Barber, a documentary photographer and lifelong resident (居民) of Western North Carolina, brings a deeply personal camera to cover (报导) the destruction of Hurricane Helene.(杰西·巴伯是一名纪录片摄影师，也是北卡罗来纳州西部的终身居民，他带着一台极具个人色彩的相机来报道飓风“海伦妮”造成的破坏)”以及第二段中“But as a local, Barber brought a different focus than many journalists and photographers covering the storm’s destruction and the beginnings of recovery.(但作为当地人，巴伯的关注点与许多报道风暴破坏和灾后重建初期情况的记者和摄影师不同)”可知，巴伯的当地生活经历使他能够报道飓风“海伦妮”。故选B。 5．词句猜测题。根据第三段中“His copious knowledge of the conditions in the area proved crucial. When an editor suggested staying in an Asheville hotel, Barber knew it was impossible.(他对该地区情况的copious知识被证明至关重要。当一位编辑建议住在阿什维尔的一家酒店时，巴伯知道这是不可能的)”可知，巴伯对当地情况很了解，所以“copious”意思是“丰富的”，与“Broad”意思相近。故选B。 6．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Barber’s practice prioritized (优先) human connection over taking quick disaster photos.(巴伯的做法优先考虑人与人之间的联系，而不是快速拍摄灾难照片)”以及“While documenting shocking geological changes, he also sought resilience (韧性) and hope among the disaster.(在记录令人震惊的地质变化的同时，他也在灾难中寻找韧性和希望)”可知，巴伯的照片与其他人不同之处在于他关注人们的精神。故选C。 7．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As national attention changes, Barber will remain focused on Appalachian. His rapid action during Hurricane Helene “confirmed my investment in staying rooted in place”, he says, keeping his promise to live in Western North Carolina over larger art centers.(随着全国关注的焦点发生变化，巴伯将继续关注阿巴拉契亚。他说，他在飓风“海伦妮”期间的迅速行动“证实了我扎根于此的决心”，他兑现了留在北卡罗来纳州西部而不是去更大的艺术中心的承诺)”以及“I just want to do my people good.(我只想为我的人民做点好事)”可知，巴伯的故事表明社会责任很重要。故选A。 1 / 3 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
