People may lose their homes, money and even lives during the disasters. We have recently found that natural disasters sometimes happen. So we decided to find out some famous natural disasters around the world. Hurricanes (飓风) are very dangerous storms with strong winds. One of the worst Atlantic hurricanes in history was the Great Hurricane in 1780. When a volcano (火山) erupts, it throws hot lava and gases into the air through the hole at the top. On 26th August, 1883, the earth made a loud sound from the island of Krakatoa. On 1st November, 1755, an earthquake hit Lisbon. The earthquake broke most of the buildings. On 28th December, 1908, a tsunami (海啸) hit Messina. The huge wall of seawater was very high. 28. How many kinds of natural disasters are mentioned in the text? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 29. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A. A tsunami hit Messina on 26th August, 1883. B. An earthquake hit Lisbon on 1st November, 1755. C. An earthquake made the loudest sound from the island of Krakatoa. D. The Great Hurricane in 1780 was the worst Pacific hurricane in history. 30. We most probably read the text at________. A. www.fisu.com/sports/ B. www.bbcamerica.com/movies/ C. www.worldgeography.com/nature/ D. www.chinahighlights.com/great wall/ B ①Natural disasters such as earthquakes, rainstorms and strong winds, usually make a big difference to human life. They not only cause property (财产) loss but also take away people’s lives. ②Strong 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 three people sleeping at home out of their flats, causing their deaths. More than 1,600 trees were blown down overnight. This deadly disaster was mainly caused by the funnelling effect (狭管效应). ③When the earthquake happens, the ground and buildings will shake terribly. In serious situations, buildings may even fall down and people will be buried. Recently, in Taiwan, the most powerful earthquake in a quarter century rocked the island. About 18 people were killed and thousands of people were injured. ④Another example is rainstorms. They can cause floods and flood many places. Dubai (迪拜) lies on the coast of the Persian Gulf and in the northeast of the U. A. E. (阿联酋) 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 whole year’s worth of rain. The heavy rain flooded roads, shopping malls, and even airports, causing a lot of damage. ⑤To better deal with natural disasters, we need to make our disaster prevention, mitigation (减轻), and relief coordination (协调) system better. Also, people should learn ways to protect themselves when facing natural disasters. But most importantly, we should realize that we are not the masters of nature. We need to be humble and respect (尊重) it. 31. What happened in Taiwan recently? A. A big flood. B. Strong winds. C. An earthquake. D. A rainstorm. 32. How does the writer develop Para 2? A. Opinion—Fact—Reason B. Fact—Solution—Opinion C. Opinion—Reason—Fact D. Fact—Opinion—Solution (解决方式) 33. In which of the following sentences can we fill the underlined word “humble”? A. Smoking is a ________ danger to health. B. Though he made a lot of achievements (成就), he still kept ________. C. Her most ________ habit was eating with her mouth open. D. The problems are so ________ that we need to solve them at once. 34. Which of the following is the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. C From May to November, six beach houses have fallen down in North Carolina’s Outer Banks—a troubling sign of how erosion (侵蚀) continues to put a toll on the state’s coastal villages. The most recent collapse (倒塌) happened between last Thursday and Friday after a storm caused powerful waves along Rodanthe. The house was empty, and officials have been in contact (联系) with the house owner. Less than a mile away, three other homes had fallen down in September. Since 2020, a total of 11 houses in the area have been washed away into the ocean. Cape Hatteras National Seashore said strong winds, large waves, as well as rising sea levels—which are caused by climate change—are causing beaches on the Outer Banks to wash away. “Many buildings close to the beach in Rodanthe are either partially (部分的) or fully covered with ocean water on a regular basis (定期),” the Seashore said. It’s a problem faced by coastal communities around the country. In North Carolina, over 750 homes along the state’s beaches are thought in danger from erosion, according to an August report released by the state’s Department of Environmental Quality and Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Erosion in these coastal villages affects tourism and destroys sea turtles’ home, and when homes fall down, it leaves ruins (废墟). The situation will be worse because of rising sea levels and more coastal storms. National Seashore officials have warned owners of unsafe houses to either make their home’s supports stronger or move to a safer place if possible. 35. What does the underlined phrase “put a toll on” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Cause damage to. B. Give way to. C. Bring more people to. D. Put more efforts into. 36. What can we know about the most recent collapse? A Six houses were washed away. B. It happened because a storm hit. C. It led to many people missing. D. Police failed to contact the house owner. 37. What might put the beach houses in danger? A. The daily effects of winds and waves. B. The loss of wildlife’s home. C. The ruins of houses left on beaches. D. The weak structure of the houses. 38. What should be done according to the local officials? A. Take measures to control rising sea levels. B. Solve the problem by protecting the ecosystem. C. Reduce the effect on tourism by clearing the ruins. D. Strengthen the house structure or move to new places. 39. What is the best title for the text? A. New Houses were Built for Safety B. Tourism Worsens in North Carolina C. Rising Seas Put Coastal Towns at Risk D. Climate Change leads to Stronger Storms 四、六选四 （共4小题，每小题2分，共8分）。 Have you ever put your old clothes into the donation (捐赠) box in your neighborhood?

Hundreds of thousands of people have been influenced (受影响). Up to August 2, a total of 302 people were killed and 50 were missing. Like many other natural disasters, floods can happen with little or no warning. Flash floods move quickly and have strong currents (水流). They are known to bring down trees and damage buildings. Besides, floods can cause power cuts, traffic jams and other problems. But the flood itself isn’t the only problem to deal with. After a flood, its influence can be just deadly, as it may not be possible to send basic supplies such as water and food to the area. So, in the face of a flash flood, how should we save ourselves? ★ Avoid bridges that rapidly-moving water is crossing, as floodwater can cause bridges to break. ★ Listen to emergency broadcasts (应急广播) for further instructions. If told to move to another place, do so. ★ Stay inside the car if it’s caught in fast-moving water. Only get out if the water begins to flood the car itself, and then move to the roof of the car. ★ If caught within a flooded building, move to the highest floor. Only move to the roof if you have to. Once there, use signs for help, such as drawing SOS on the roof. ★ Keep off power lines, as they are often damaged or knocked down during strong storms. Besides, here are also some tips to keep in mind after a flood. Do not drink floodwater, or use it to wash food. Return to your home only after local governments have said it is safe to do so. Use only bottled or boiled water for drinking, cooking and bathing. Avoid driving through flooded areas. 54.
