Good luck! B. You said it! C. That was close! D. Feel free! 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——在野外，离开前一定要告诉大人我们要去哪里。——你说得对！ 考查情境交际用语。Good luck祝你好运；You said it你说得对；That was close好险啊；Feel free请随意。前句“In the wild, always tell an adult where we’re going before leaving.”是提醒或建议，应答者表示赞同，应使用表示赞同的交际用语。故选B。 三、完型填空: Understand nature’s healing power and the close relationship between humans and forests. （每小题1分，共10分） “Save the tigers” is a group of volunteers.

Major Cold is the last solar term in winter. In this period, snow, rain and icy cold weather influence people’s lives. Eating “dispelling cold cake” People in Beijing have a habit of eating “dispelling cold cake”, a kind of rice cake, which can make people feel warm all over their bodies. In Chinese, the word “rice cake” has the same pronunciation as the word “higher in a new year”, which stands for good luck and great progress (进步). Buying sesame (芝麻) straw In some parts of China, people are eager to buy sesame straw during Major Cold. This is because of an old saying: “Rise joint by joint like sesame flowers on the stem.” This saying is used to describe either ever-rising living standards or making progress in thought, studies or skills. Eating fried spring roll In Anqing of Anhui province, people use a round, cooked, thin pancake to wrap stuffing in a thin roll. Then it is fried in a pan with oil until it turns yellow and floats to the top. The stuffing inside the spring roll contains meat or vegetables and the flavor can be salty or sweet. Drinking stewed soup People in Nanjing of Jiangsu Province like to drink stewed soup during Major Cold, which can make people feel warm from head to foot. They always stew (炖) the aged hen soup with other nutritious (有营养的) food. Doing winter sports There is a saying that goes, “Dripping water freezes during Minor and Major Cold.” In many places of China, Major Cold is the perfect time for winter sports such as skiing, ice skating and sledding. 24. Which activity is NOT mentioned about Major Cold? A. Eating fried spring roll in Anqing. B. Drinking stewed soup in Nanjing. C. Eating dispelling cold cake in Beijing. D. Making dumplings in some parts of China. 25. The traditions of eating rice cake and buying sesame straw share a similar meaning of _________. A. wishing for continuous progress B. keeping warm in the cold winter days C. using the special food only found in winter D. following the same custom from ancient times 26. The author organizes this passage by _________. A. giving examples of different solar terms in Chinese calendar B. telling a story about how people celebrate Major Cold in history C. introducing Major Cold from its weather, traditions and activities D. explaining why it is colder in some areas of China during Major Cold 27. Where is this passage probably from? A. A storybook about Chinese history. B. A science report about cold weather. C. A magazine about Chinese traditional culture. D. A cookbook about how to make delicious food. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文系统性地介绍了中国传统二十四节气中的“大寒”，包括其作为冬季最后一个节气的天气特征，以及在中国不同地区与之相关的饮食传统和冬季运动。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中粗体字标题“Eating fried spring roll”、“Drinking stewed soup”、“Eating ‘dispelling cold cake’”可知，选项D“在中国部分地区包饺子”未提及。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Eating ‘dispelling cold cake’”中的信息“In Chinese, the word ‘rice cake’ has the same pronunciation as the word ‘higher in a new year’, which stands for good luck and great progress.”，根据“Buying sesame straw”中的信息“‘Rise joint by joint like sesame flowers on the stem.’... to describe either ever-rising living standards or making progress in thought, studies or skills.”，可知两者的共同寓意是祝愿持续进步。故选A。 【26题详解】 篇章结构题。通观全文，作者首先点明大寒是冬季最后一个节气及其天气影响（第1段），随后分段介绍了不同地区的特定习俗和活动：“Eating ‘dispelling cold cake’”、“Buying sesame straw”、“Eating fried spring roll”、“Drinking stewed soup”、“Doing winter sports”。因此，文章是通过介绍大寒的天气、传统和活动来组织的。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。本文主题明确，聚焦于中国传统文化中的节气习俗，以知识性介绍为主，风格客观平实。因此，最有可能出自一本介绍中国传统文化的杂志。故选C。 C Living on the Florida Emerald Coast, people view a hurricane (飓风) as a common thing. So it is not unusual for a family to have several full gas cans and bottled water stored in their houses all summer. Though unwilling to evacuate (撤离) from a hurricane, on September 15, my family had to leave our home for my grandfather’s house several miles away. We spent the early part of that evening watching the hurricane draw closer on the weather channel. Around nine o’clock, a loud sound shook the house, turned over the roof and carried it off. Soon came an indoor rainstorm. Realizing the damage, my grandfather began to be afraid. The storm had started, but he still ran out into the heavy rain and wind to see how much of the roof was left. We got him back inside. I had never seen him so scared. Mum finally asked him to lie down in his room. It soon became a race against time to protect what was saved. Some people may think it necessary to save material things, but I hoped to save those items with emotional value, such as the photos. I still feared the storm, but I more feared the influence it brought. The next morning, it started to clear up. Thankfully, my family weathered the storm, though the same could not be said for the house. Only the wooden beams remained, but inside many of his things were safe. My mum and I had worked tirelessly through the night. It was late but we were still unwilling to go to bed. We discussed the rebuilding of the house. Under the beautiful sky, we suggested looking after my grandfather more often in the future. After this disaster, I realized the truth that the hurricane itself was not so terrible if we loved each other. 28. Why do people store gas cans and bottled water in summer? A. The local government asks them to do so. B. They need to keep these things for their daily use. C. They want to get prepared for possible hurricanes. D. These items are cheap and easy to store in summer. 29. In Paragraph 2, we know that the hurricane _________. A. arrived later than the family expected B. was not as serious as the weather channel reported C. made the family willing to evacuate to a safer place at first D. caused sudden and serious damage to the grandfather’s house 30. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 5 most probably mean? A. We got hurt badly in the storm. B. We controlled the storm completely. C. We ran away quickly from the storm. D. We survived safely through the storm. 31. What does the author want to tell us through this experience? A. It is impossible to protect houses from terrible hurricanes. B. Hurricanes are common and not dangerous at all in Florida. C. Family love and care can help people get through hard times. D. People shouldn’t evacuate from their home as quickly as possible. 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者一家在佛罗里达翡翠海岸经历飓风的故事。这次经历让作者意识到，只要家人彼此相爱，飓风并不可怕。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第1段“Living on the Florida Emerald Coast, people view a hurricane as a common thing. So it is not unusual for a family to have several full gas cans and bottled water stored in their houses all summer.”可知，因为人们视飓风为常见的事，所以在夏天储存汽油和瓶装水是为可能的飓风做准备。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第2段“Around nine o’clock, a loud sound shook the house, turned over the roof and carried it off. Soon came an indoor rainstorm.”可知，飓风对祖父的房子造成了突然而严重的破坏（掀翻了屋顶，室内下起暴雨）。故选D。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第5段“Thankfully, my family weathered the storm, though the same could not be said for the house. Only the wooden beams remained, but inside many of his things were safe.”，房子严重受损（只有木梁留下），但家人都安全。因此，“weathered the storm”意为“安全度过了风暴”。故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后1段“After this disaster, I realized the truth that the hurricane itself was not so terrible if we loved each other.”可知，作者想告诉我们，家人的爱与关怀能帮助人们度过艰难时刻。故选C。 D Alaskan winter darkness came early, but I wasn’t scared. Honest. I just forgot the time at my friend’s. The path through the woods was too dark and silent, the snow making all other sounds seem far away, except for my own loud footsteps. I wasn’t even thinking about Keeluts, those hairless scary monsters (怪物) from the old stories we learned in school. Then a soft growl came from the trees behind me. I froze. Something was on the path. Turning slowly, my headlamp caught two bright eyes. A very big, dark shape stood there. It sniffed (嗅) the air and licked its lips. “Don’t run,” I told myself. Running makes things run after you. Heart beating fast, I backed away, then desperately (绝望地) offered my half-eaten sandwich. It ate it all at once, eyes never leaving me. Next went my special beef jerky (牛肉干), a gift from Dad. Each time I threw food, it only gave me a few more steps toward the streetlight. The moment I saw my yard, I ran as fast as I could. I heard it coming fast behind me as I threw myself inside and closed the door. A loud sound shook the wood. I rushed to the floor, shaking. I must have fallen asleep. A sound of car door closing woke me up—Mom was home! I jumped up, ready to protect her. I pulled the door open, a baseball bat in hand. She looked down at me angrily. “Johnny! No dogs! We are not keeping it!” She pointed to the corner. There, curled up (蜷曲), was a dark brown husky. It lifted its head, watching us quietly. A smile growing on my face. I was going to have my own dog, and I would never have to be scared of Keeluts again! 32. Why did the boy have to walk home through the dark woods alone? A. He was not afraid of the dark. B. He stayed too long at his friend’s. C. His mother told him to come home. D. He knew a shortcut through the woods. 33. Put the following events from the story in the correct order. ①Using a sandwich and beef jerky to keep it away. ②Running inside the house and closing the door. ③Hearing a soft growl and seeing two bright eyes. ④Finding a dark brown husky in the corner. A. ③→①→②→④ B. ①→④→③→② C. ④→②→①→③ D. ①→②→③→④ 34. Which title best fits the story? A. A Dark Walk Home B. The Dog That Saved Me C. The Monster in the Woods D. What I Learned That Night 35. What is the most important lesson the story teaches us? A It’s dangerous to walk alone at night. B. Sometimes our imagination creates fear. C. We should not run away from difficulties. D. Being brave means not showing you’re scared. 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了一个男孩在阿拉斯加的冬夜独自穿越黑暗树林回家时，先是恐惧于想象中的怪物，最终发现那只是一只友好的哈士奇的故事。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第1段“Alaskan winter darkness came early, but I wasn’t scared. Honest. I just forgot the time at my friend’s.”可知，男孩独自走黑暗树林回家，是因为在朋友家忘了时间。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。梳理故事顺序：第2段“Then a soft growl came from the trees behind me.”（③）；第4段“...offered my half-eaten sandwich. It ate it all at once... Next went my special beef jerky”（①）；第5段“I threw myself inside and closed the door”（②）；第7段“There, curled up, was a dark brown husky.”（④）。因此正确顺序为③→①→②→④。故选A。 【34题详解】 最佳标题题。故事前半部分充满悬念，男孩一直以为跟踪他的是传说中的怪物“Keeluts”，营造出“林中怪物”的氛围，直到结尾才揭晓是只狗。标题“The Monster in the Woods”能很好地概括这一核心情节和悬疑感。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。全文的核心在于男孩将一只狗误认为是传说中的恐怖怪物，并因此经历了巨大的恐惧。这揭示了恐惧往往源于我们自己的想象，而非现实。文章最后“A smile growing on my face.”，也印证了这一点——当他发现“怪物”的真面目后，恐惧就消失了。故选B。 五、基础知识: Know more about nature reserves and improve environmental protection awareness. （满分15分） A. 根据括号内所给的汉语写出单词，使句子意思完整正确。（每题1分） 36.

We should make an ________ (努力) to protect red-crowned cranes. 【答案】effort 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们应该努力保护丹顶鹤。根据汉语提示可知，effort“努力”，make an effort为固定短语，意为“努力”。故填effort。 38. The old wooden nest box can ________ (容纳) up to five small birds. 【答案】hold 【解析】 【详解】句意：这个旧的木制鸟巢箱可以容纳五只小鸟。根据提示可知，“容纳”对应的英文单词是“hold”，情态动词“can”后应接动词原形，故填hold。 39. The area provides food and ________ (躲避处) for a lot of wildlife. 【答案】shelter 【解析】 【详解】句意：这个地区为许多野生动物提供食物和躲避处。根据汉语提示可知，shelter“躲避处”，不可数名词。故填shelter。 40.

(pick) 【答案】were picking 【解析】 【详解】句意：昨天这个时候，青少年们正在从地上捡垃圾。pick up“拿起，捡起”，at this time yesterday“昨天这个时候”是过去进行时的标志性时间状语，这个时态的结构为 “was/were+现在分词”。句子主语“The teenagers”是复数，所以be动词用were，pick的现在分词形式是picking。故填were picking。 42. ________ (sudden), a group of wild birds fly over the green mountain. 【答案】Suddenly 【解析】 【详解】句意：突然，一群野鸟飞越了青山。空格位于句首且逗号后为一个完整的句子，可知在句中作状语，修饰整个句子，因此此处应用“sudden”的副词形式“suddenly”，表示“突然地”，首字母大写。故填Suddenly。 43. We all pay attention to ________ (make) the earth greener and cleaner. 【答案】making 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们都关注让地球变得更绿更清洁。make“使；让”，pay attention to doing sth“关注做某事”，to为介词，后接动名词。故填making。 44. Volunteers warn tourists ________ (not accept) wild animal products. 【答案】not to accept 【解析】 【详解】句意：志愿者警告游客不要接受野生动物制品。根据“warn sb (not) to do sth”结构可知，此处应使用不定式否定形式。故填not to accept。 45. Yancheng Nature Reserve provides a safe place for these ________ (home) birds to live through the winter. 【答案】homeless 【解析】 【详解】句意：盐城自然保护区为这些无家可归的鸟类提供了一个安全过冬的场所。根据“provides a safe place”及下文“to live through the winter”可知，此处应指为无家可归的鸟类提供庇护所，home的形容词形式homeless表示“无家可归的”，符合语境。故填homeless。 C. （每题1分） 选择适当的单词或短语填空，完成下面的短文。 weather; are home to; healthy; get rid of; pleasant With our eyes closed, we can feel the wind and hear the birds sing—there is nothing more ___46___ than this peaceful moment in nature.

They also keep the planet ___50___ and make our world a better place. 【答案】46. pleasant 47. get rid of 48. weather 49. are home to 50. healthy 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了湿地的自然环境特点，以及湿地在净化环境、栖息野生动物、维护地球生态健康等方面的重要作用，体现了保护湿地的必要性。 【46题详解】 句意：闭上眼睛，我们能感受到微风，听见鸟儿歌唱——没有什么比大自然中这宁静的时刻更令人愉悦的了。根据“this peaceful moment in nature”及所给单词，此处需填形容词描述该时刻的感受，pleasant“令人愉悦的”符合语境。故填pleasant。 【47题详解】 句意：湿地中的植物有助于清除废弃物，鸟儿们在这里快乐地生活。根据“waste”及所给短语，此处需填表示处理废弃物的短语，get rid of“清除；处理”符合语境，且help后接动词原形。故填get rid of。 【48题详解】 句意：湿地是一处全年都有春日般天气的地方。根据“spring-like”及所给单词，此处需填表示自然环境的名词，weather“天气”为不可数名词，符合语境。故填weather。 【49题详解】 句意：它们是野生动物的栖息地。根据“wildlife”及所给短语，此处需填表示“是……的栖息地”的短语，are home to“是……的栖息地”符合语境，主语They为复数，谓语动词用are。故填are home to。 【50题详解】 句意：它们也让地球保持健康，让我们的世界变得更美好。根据“keep the planet”及所给单词，此处需填形容词作宾语补足语，healthy“健康的”符合语境，keep后接名词+形容词表示“使……保持某种状态”。故填healthy。 六、任务阅读: Recognize natural disasters and discuss how to deal with their threats to cities. （满分10分，其中1-6题每空一词，每题1分；7-8题每题2分。） There has been a huge increase in the number of natural disasters over the past few years, and it is thought that global warming and climate change could cause even more disasters in the future. Some of the world’s leading cities are facing disasters like floods and heat waves. London London’s flood defences (防洪堤) are getting older. Since 1982, the Thames Barrier (水闸) has protected the city from the threat of flooding, but it was only designed to last until 2030 and close once every two or three years. The barrier now closes five or six times a year and according to Environment Agency predictions, by 2050 the barrier will be closed on almost every tide if the problem is not solved. Paris Over a six-week period in July and August 2003, France was hit by a deadly heat wave, and more than 11,400 people, mainly the elderly, died from extremely high body temperature. One solution is to have air-conditioners installed (安装) in elderly care homes. But this is considered a short-term solution, as the increase in demand for electricity also increases carbon emissions (排放). In Paris the local government is encouraging architects to design new types of buildings such as “Flower Tower”, which uses a covering of bamboo to act as a natural air-conditioner. Shanghai Shanghai is one of the fastest growing cities on Earth. It has a population of about 24 million and is only 4 meters above sea level. Sea levels are predicted to rise by 20 cm within the next century. About 250,000 people move to Shanghai every year in search of work, placing extra demands on energy consumption (消耗). China depends heavily on coal-fired power stations, but these emissions increase temperatures and, as a result, warmer seas increase the risk of typhoons. Those are just three examples facing natural disasters. Their situations tell us that it’s very important to deal with climate change and get ready for natural disasters. Only when people work together can we better protect these cities and the people living there from future disasters. Major Cities at ___51___ Introduction The number of natural disasters has risen quickly in recent years. Situations of the world’s leading cities London ● The flood defences in London are becoming older, and the Thames Barrier now closes much more ___52___ than before. ● If the government doesn’t solve the problem, the barrier will be closed on almost every tide by 2050.

Although zoos provide protection, natural habitats are very important for their living. Humans and animals should live together peacefully. We are part of nature, not its rulers. Treating animals for entertainment is not proper for the animals. And all the living things should have their own space and lifestyles. They should be respected as much as we human beings.

B The traditional Chinese solar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Major Cold is the last solar term in winter. In this period, snow, rain and icy cold weather influence people’s lives. Eating “dispelling cold cake” People in Beijing have a habit of eating “dispelling cold cake”, a kind of rice cake, which can make people feel warm all over their bodies. In Chinese, the word “rice cake” has the same pronunciation as the word “higher in a new year”, which stands for good luck and great progress (进步). Buying sesame (芝麻) straw In some parts of China, people are eager to buy sesame straw during Major Cold. This is because of an old saying: “Rise joint by joint like sesame flowers on the stem.” This saying is used to describe either ever-rising living standards or making progress in thought, studies or skills. Eating fried spring roll In Anqing of Anhui province, people use a round, cooked, thin pancake to wrap stuffing in a thin roll. Then it is fried in a pan with oil until it turns yellow and floats to the top. The stuffing inside the spring roll contains meat or vegetables and the flavor can be salty or sweet. Drinking stewed soup People in Nanjing of Jiangsu Province like to drink stewed soup during Major Cold, which can make people feel warm from head to foot. They always stew (炖) the aged hen soup with other nutritious (有营养的) food. Doing winter sports There is a saying that goes, “Dripping water freezes during Minor and Major Cold.” In many places of China, Major Cold is the perfect time for winter sports such as skiing, ice skating and sledding. 24. Which activity is NOT mentioned about Major Cold? A. Eating fried spring roll in Anqing. B. Drinking stewed soup in Nanjing. C. Eating dispelling cold cake in Beijing. D. Making dumplings in some parts of China. 25. The traditions of eating rice cake and buying sesame straw share a similar meaning of _________. A wishing for continuous progress B. keeping warm in the cold winter days C. using the special food only found in winter D. following the same custom from ancient times 26. The author organizes this passage by _________. A. giving examples of different solar terms in Chinese calendar B. telling a story about how people celebrate Major Cold in history C. introducing Major Cold from its weather, traditions and activities D. explaining why it is colder in some areas of China during Major Cold 27. Where is this passage probably from? A. A storybook about Chinese history. B. A science report about cold weather. C. A magazine about Chinese traditional culture. D. A cookbook about how to make delicious food. C Living on the Florida Emerald Coast, people view a hurricane (飓风) as a common thing. So it is not unusual for a family to have several full gas cans and bottled water stored in their houses all summer. Though unwilling to evacuate (撤离) from a hurricane, on September 15, my family had to leave our home for my grandfather’s house several miles away. We spent the early part of that evening watching the hurricane draw closer on the weather channel. Around nine o’clock, a loud sound shook the house, turned over the roof and carried it off. Soon came an indoor rainstorm. Realizing the damage, my grandfather began to be afraid. The storm had started, but he still ran out into the heavy rain and wind to see how much of the roof was left. We got him back inside. I had never seen him so scared. Mum finally asked him to lie down in his room. It soon became a race against time to protect what was saved. Some people may think it necessary to save material things, but I hoped to save those items with emotional value, such as the photos. I still feared the storm, but I more feared the influence it brought. The next morning, it started to clear up. Thankfully, my family weathered the storm, though the same could not be said for the house. Only the wooden beams remained, but inside many of his things were safe. My mum and I had worked tirelessly through the night. It was late, but we were still unwilling to go to bed. We discussed the rebuilding of the house. Under the beautiful sky, we suggested looking after my grandfather more often in the future. After this disaster, I realized the truth that the hurricane itself was not so terrible if we loved each other. 28. Why do people store gas cans and bottled water in summer? A. The local government asks them to do so. B. They need to keep these things for their daily use. C. They want to get prepared for possible hurricanes. D. These items are cheap and easy to store in summer. 29. In Paragraph 2, we know that the hurricane _________. A. arrived later than the family expected B. was not as serious as the weather channel reported C. made the family willing to evacuate to a safer place at first D. caused sudden and serious damage to the grandfather’s house 30. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 5 most probably mean? A. We got hurt badly in the storm. B. We controlled the storm completely. C. We ran away quickly from the storm. D. We survived safely through the storm. 31. What does the author want to tell us through this experience? A. It is impossible to protect houses from terrible hurricanes. B. Hurricanes are common and not dangerous at all in Florida. C. Family love and care can help people get through hard times. D. People shouldn’t evacuate from their home as quickly as possible. D Alaskan winter darkness came early, but I wasn’t scared. Honest. I just forgot the time at my friend’s. The path through the woods was too dark and silent, the snow making all other sounds seem far away, except for my own loud footsteps. I wasn’t even thinking about Keeluts, those hairless scary monsters (怪物) from the old stories we learned in school. Then a soft growl came from the trees behind me. I froze. Something was on the path. Turning slowly, my headlamp caught two bright eyes. A very big, dark shape stood there. It sniffed (嗅) the air and licked its lips. “Don’t run,” I told myself. Running makes things run after you. Heart beating fast, I backed away, then desperately (绝望地) offered my half-eaten sandwich. It ate it all at once, eyes never leaving me. Next went my special beef jerky (牛肉干), a gift from Dad. Each time I threw food, it only gave me a few more steps toward the streetlight. The moment I saw my yard, I ran as fast as I could. I heard it coming fast behind me as I threw myself inside and closed the door. A loud sound shook the wood. I rushed to the floor, shaking. I must have fallen asleep. A sound of car door closing woke me up—Mom was home! I jumped up, ready to protect her. I pulled the door open, a baseball bat in hand. She looked down at me angrily. “Johnny! No dogs! We are not keeping it!” She pointed to the corner. There, curled up (蜷曲), was a dark brown husky. It lifted its head, watching us quietly. A smile growing on my face.

Some of the world’s leading cities are facing disasters like floods and heat waves. London London’s flood defences (防洪堤) are getting older. Since 1982, the Thames Barrier (水闸) has protected the city from the threat of flooding, but it was only designed to last until 2030 and close once every two or three years. The barrier now closes five or six times a year and according to Environment Agency predictions, by 2050 the barrier will be closed on almost every tide if the problem is not solved. Paris Over a six-week period in July and August 2003, France was hit by a deadly heat wave, and more than 11,400 people, mainly the elderly, died from extremely high body temperature. One solution is to have air-conditioners installed (安装) in elderly care homes. But this is considered a short-term solution, as the increase in demand for electricity also increases carbon emissions (排放). In Paris the local government is encouraging architects to design new types of buildings such as “Flower Tower”, which uses a covering of bamboo to act as a natural air-conditioner. Shanghai Shanghai is one of the fastest growing cities on Earth. It has a population of about 24 million and is only 4 meters above sea level. Sea levels are predicted to rise by 20 cm within the next century. About 250,000 people move to Shanghai every year in search of work, placing extra demands on energy consumption (消耗). China depends heavily on coal-fired power stations, but these emissions increase temperatures and, as a result, warmer seas increase the risk of typhoons. Those are just three examples facing natural disasters. Their situations tell us that it’s very important to deal with climate change and get ready for natural disasters. Only when people work together can we better protect these cities and the people living there from future disasters.
