As of April 6, the quake had killed 13 people and injured many people. What to do during an earthquake Inside: Don't stand in the doorway. You are safer under a table. Remember these three actions: drop, cover the head, and hold on. Outside: Move away from buildings, trees, and power lines. In a crowded place: Drop down onto your knees, cover your head and neck, and hold onto something stable. In a stadium or a theatre: Stay in your seat. Protect your head and neck with your arms. Earthquake warning People may get warnings of an earthquake before it arrives. How does this work? There are many seismographs(测震仪) in different areas. When the earth starts shaking, the machines quickly tell how strong the quake is and then send a warning before the earthquake waves arrive in other areas farther away. ( ) 1．What should you do when an earthquake happens? BCC A． B． C． D． ( ) 2．Which of the following is NOT true according to the material? A．No matter where you are, protect yourself during an earthquake. B．Seismographs can tell people how strong the quake is. C．Every area can get warnings from the epicentre. D．Earthquake waves first arrive at the nearest place. ( ) 3．In which part of a newspaper can you probably read this material? A．Sports. B．Health. C．Life. D．Business. （B） On July 16, 2024, an accident happened at Mission Beach around 4:50 pm. A 16-year-old teenager almost lost her life in a sand hole. A sand hole is what it sounds like—a hole in the sand. Lots of children enjoy digging sand holes as deep as they can. However, the deeper the hole is, the greater the risk is. The girl was 6 to 8 feet(英尺) deep in the hole after it collapsed(塌陷), making her unable to climb out. Dalila Cruz was just a few feet away from the collapse. She said the girl tried to get out. However, with every try, more sand poured back into the hole. A crowed gathered(聚集) around the girl. They tried to help, but failed. Cruz realized it was not easy to get the girl out, so she called out to the nearby lifeguards(救生员) for help immediately. At first, the lifeguards tried to pull the girl out, but it was no use. Then, they started to dig around the hole. After about 20 minutes of digging, the girl was able to walk out of the hole. When she walked out, everybody cheered. Sand is fun to play with, but it also can be dangerous. There have been a large number of people who have died in sand hole collapses. A study shows that about three to five children die in the US each year when digging sand holes at the beach. So, if you dig sand holes, do not let yourself get too deep and cover them up when you leave. ADCA ( ) 4．What can we know from the first two paragraphs? A．The girl was unable to climb out of the sand hole. B．Lots of children were playing at Mission Beach when the accident happened. C．Few people realized the danger of playing sand. D．A16-year-old teenager lost her life in the accident. ( ) 5．Which of the following can best describe Dalila Cruz? A．She was hard to get along with. B．She depended too much on others. C．She cared little about her own safety. D．She was a smart and helpful woman. ( ) 6．What is the right order of the following events? a.Everybody cheered. b.Dalila Cruz called for help. c.The lifeguards failed to pull the girl out. d.The lifeguards began to dig around the hole. e.A group of people gathered around the teen girl. A．b-e-d-c-a B．b-e-c-d-a C．e-b-c-d-a D．e-b-d-c-a ( ) 7．In the last paragraph, how does the writer show sand can be dangerous? A．By giving facts. B．By listing examples. C．By describing a scene. D．By explaining the reason. （C） An old saying used for forecasting the weather says, “Red sky at night, sailors' delight. Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning.” Is the saying true? It turns out that it is. A red sky at sunset may mean that there are clear skies to the west, where the sun sets. A red sky at sunrise usually means that the clear weather has already passed, so storms might be coming. Forecasting the weather has been practiced for thousands of years. In the 5th century BC, the Greeks sent out forecasts to sailors. They used signs in nature to forecast the weather. But today, meteorologists send exact forecasts further in advance. They use scientific instruments to study weather conditions around the world and make forecasts. Pilots, farmers and many other people depend on these forecasts. Luckily, most of us can simply look on the smart phone or turn on the TV to find out what kind of weather is coming. If you are looking for some signs of the weather, pay attention to nature. There are two basic rules used in weather forecasting: Weather generally moves from west to east, and low air pressure usually means rain or snow.So pay attention to the signs. If rainbows form in the west at sunrise, the sun is on the way. Smell the flowers—their smells are stronger in wet air. What are the ants doing? Are they moving to higher ground? This could mean a drop in air pressure. Are the birds flying low or high? Falling air pressure may influence birds' ears, so they fly low. And if the sky is red at sunset, you might plan a picnic for the next day! CDBC ( ) 8．What is the old saying about? A．The beauty of sunrise. B．The night sky. C．The signs of the weather. D．The sailors' work. ( ) 9．What does the underlined word “meteorologists” mean? A．The persons who give daily weather reports on TV. B．The persons who carry out research on natural history. C．The persons who take an interest in plants and animals. D．The persons who do scientific studies of weather conditions. ( ) 10．What do we know from the last paragraph? A．It'll be sunny if ants move to higher places. B．The smells of flowers are stronger in wet air. C．Birds fly higher because of the low air pressure. D．It'll rain if rainbows form in the west at sunrise. ( ) 11．What is the writer's purpose in writing the text? A．To encourage people to get close to nature. B．To express the need for weather forecasting. C．To explain that nature can tell us about the weather. D．To discuss how important weather forecasting is. （D） ①On 9th October, Hurricane Milton became the strongest hurricane to hit the United States in 2024. Big storms like this are happening more often and are getting stronger. So, meteorologists (气象学家) are working hard to predict them. AI is playing an important role in this work. ②For years, meteorologists have used computers to make models of storms. They use information from planes and satellites (人造卫星). It takes those models hours to create predictions. But AI models use lots of data from past storms to find patterns(模式). They can find rules that most humans can't. And they can do this very quickly. This year, AI models made accurate(精确的) predictions in just seconds about storms, sometimes even how many days before they happened. ③One AI program called GraphCast correctly predicted that Hurricane Beryl would hit Texas on 8th July, while a traditional model predicted it would hit Mexico. GraphCast was right, and the team behind it won an engineering prize. ④In September, another AI program called AIFS predicted the path of Hurricane Francine as it hit Louisiana. Because it was so accurate, Matt Lanza, a meteorologist in Houston, Texas, told people in Texas that the storm wouldn't be a problem for them. “It was really amazing,” Lanza said. ⑤Even though AI is helpful and has made significant success, it's still not good enough. Lanza said that AI models have trouble predicting how strong a storm will be and how much rain will fall. That's why meteorologists need to use AI along with other tools. “We're not just letting AI make the forecasts,” he said. ADBC ( ) 12．How are AI models different from traditional models according to Paragraph 2? A．AI models are faster at creating predictions. B．AI models need information only from satellites. C．AI models need more data to make predictions. D．It takes longer for AI models to give more accurate results. ( ) 13．What does the underlined word “significant” in Paragraph 5 mean? A．Very famous. B．Very similar. C．Very common. D．Very important. ( ) 14．How will the future use of AI in weather prediction be? A．It won't get any better than it is now. B．It will be more accurate but still need help from humans. C．It will do all the work and take human meteorologists' place. D．It will only be used for predicting hurricanes, not other weather events. ( ) 15．What is the structure of the passage? A．①②③④/⑤ B．①/②③/④⑤ C．①/②/③④/⑤ D．①②/③/④⑤ 三、任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） Floodwaters may not look all that dangerous on TV, especially if you're a skilled swimmer. But flash floods are actually very dangerous. They can happen with almost no warning. 1.____________ Prevention is always your best chance of living through a flash flood. Flash floods can happen without clear signs like clouds and heavy rain. 2.____________ As soon as you receive words of a flash flood, head for higher ground at once. If you see floodwaters, avoid all moving water, even if it seems to be very shallow. 3.____________ You could hit your head, break a bone, or worse, get swept away into much deeper, faster-moving water. Any place where the water is above your foot is dangerous. If you have no choice but to walk through water, go where the water is shallow and isn't moving. If necessary, use a stick to check the depth as you walk. As you make your way to higher ground, avoid touching or getting near electrical equipment. If you get swept away by floodwaters, catch or climb onto something as soon as you are able to. 4.____________ It's hard for rescue teams to find people stuck in the water, so anything you can do to make yourself more noticeable is big help. Don't give up. Keep shouting and waving until you're rescued. EACB A．So be sure to check the local weather report. B．Shout loudly for help and wave an arm if possible. C．Just six inches of moving water can knock you over. D．So you should get prepared before the disaster comes. E．Here is what you should do to save yourself in a flash flood. 5．Do you have any other ways to protect yourself during flash floods? (Answer within 15 words) Move away from rivers and climb up to higher ground if needed. 四、完形填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） Kyle Haynam and Scotty Craighead were on a boating trip with five other children.

It was about 6:00 p.m., and the sky began to turn dark because of the black clouds. The wind also started to blow. Then the rain started to beat against the windows. The trees shook hard. “I'm scared,” Molly said to her mother. The storm lasted for about thirty minutes, long enough to make the lights go out and the small trees fall over. Even Dudu, the cat, was staying quietly under the sofa. Molly's mother lit (点燃) some candles so they could see their way around the house. “What about dinner?” asked Molly worriedly. Her mother bought some fish when she went to the corner store. “I had a feeling that we wouldn't be able to cook, so I bought the fish and some bread,” said Molly's mother.

A．An Interesting Camping B．A Rainstorm C．The Scary Black Clouds D．A Common Dinner （C） A flood occurs when water overflows onto normally dry land, often due to heavy rain, storms, or dam failures. It can develop slowly or strike suddenly as a flash flood, damaging homes, roads, and power lines. Knowing your area's flood risk and signing up for emergency alerts can help you stay prepared. Before a flood, act quickly to ensure you have flood insurance, as standard homeowner's policies typically don't cover flood damage. Immediately create an emergency plan with your family, including clearly marked evacuation routes and a well-stocked, waterproof kit with essential food, water, and important documents. Swiftly protect your home by clearing drains and moving important items to higher floors for safety. During a flood, always evacuate immediately if told to do so. Never walk, swim, or drive through floodwater—just six inches(1 inch≈2.54 cm) of fast-moving water can knock you down. Avoid bridges at all costs, as they may collapse without warning. If trapped, quickly move to the highest point available and signal for help using bright colours or loud noises. After the flood, always wait for officials to officially declare it safe before returning. Wear hard protective gear when cleaning up, and carefully watch for dangers like downed power lines or contaminated water. Avoid using generators (发电机) indoors under any circumstance due to carbon monoxide (一氧化碳) risks, which can be fatal within minutes. Always remember: Turn Around, Don't Drown! Even shallow floodwaters are extremely unpredictable—never underestimate them, and without exception, always prioritise safety. ( ) 8．What can we know about flood from Paragraph 1? A．Its occurrence is relatively easy to predict. B．The speed at which it develops is not certain. C．People are helpless about its disastrous results. D．The cause of its occurrence is relatively simple. ( ) 9．What does “evacuation” most likely mean in the passage? A．Leaving a dangerous place. B．Repairing damaged houses. C．Preparing an emergency kit. D．Clearing drains regularly. ( ) 10．Why should generators NEVER be used indoors after a flood? A．They will be easy to break. B．They will be hard to operate. C．They will make a huge noise. D．They will produce a harmful gas. ( ) 11．What is the main advice in the “After the flood” section? A．Go home as soon as possible. B．Strengthen ties with neighbours. C．Wait for security messages. D．Walk around and check carefully. （D） ①Hail(冰雹), also called hailstorm, is a form of precipitation(降水形式)—like rain or snow—that is made up of ice. Hailstorms may happen all year long. Hail can even form in summer as long as the storms are strong. ②Hailstorms often visit the United States. The area where Nebraska, Colorado and Wyoming meet is known as “Hail Alley” and they suffer seven to nine hail days every year. It's hard to tell exactly when a hailstorm might come. ③Hailstorms are very dangerous. They can cause lots of damage to people, buildings, cars, plants and animals. In fact, hailstorms can even cause deaths. For example, a hailstorm killed around 1,000 English soldiers in 1360. So we should know how to stay safe during it. ④One way to protect yourself from a hailstorm is to have your tools prepared throughout the year, and one of them must be helmets. They can help you save your head from both the hail itself and other things brought by heavy storms. You should also make a plan for your family so that you all know where to go for safety. ⑤What's more, make sure you stay inside until the hail stops and stay away from windows. If possible, find a room at least one level down from the top of the house. Finally, if you get caught outside in a hailstorm and can't find a house to stay in, find something to protect your head. ( ) 12．What does the underlined word “helmets” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Thick coats. B．Big knives. C．Hard hats. D．Light umbrellas. ( ) 13．How many ways of staying safe during a hailstorm are mentioned in the passage? A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four. ( ) 14．What may be the right reason why you should stay away from trees when a hailstorm is outside? A．The broken branch falls and it may hit you. B．There is more rain under the trees. C．The trees are not beautiful because of the hailstorm. D．The tree leaves will drop on the head. ( ) 15．What is the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 三、任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） Natural disasters can happen at any time. so it's important to be prepared.

As of April 6, the quake had killed 13 people and injured many people. What to do during an earthquake Inside: Don't stand in the doorway. You are safer under a table. Remember these three actions: drop, cover the head, and hold on. Outside: Move away from buildings, trees, and power lines. In a crowded place: Drop down onto your knees, cover your head and neck, and hold onto something stable. In a stadium or a theatre: Stay in your seat. Protect your head and neck with your arms. Earthquake warning People may get warnings of an earthquake before it arrives. How does this work? There are many seismographs(测震仪) in different areas.

A 16-year-old teenager almost lost her life in a sand hole. A sand hole is what it sounds like—a hole in the sand. Lots of children enjoy digging sand holes as deep as they can. However, the deeper the hole is, the greater the risk is. The girl was 6 to 8 feet(英尺) deep in the hole after it collapsed(塌陷), making her unable to climb out. Dalila Cruz was just a few feet away from the collapse. She said the girl tried to get out. However, with every try, more sand poured back into the hole. A crowed gathered(聚集) around the girl. They tried to help, but failed. Cruz realized it was not easy to get the girl out, so she called out to the nearby lifeguards(救生员) for help immediately. At first, the lifeguards tried to pull the girl out, but it was no use. Then, they started to dig around the hole. After about 20 minutes of digging, the girl was able to walk out of the hole. When she walked out, everybody cheered. Sand is fun to play with, but it also can be dangerous. There have been a large number of people who have died in sand hole collapses. A study shows that about three to five children die in the US each year when digging sand holes at the beach. So, if you dig sand holes, do not let yourself get too deep and cover them up when you leave. ( ) 4．What can we know from the first two paragraphs? A．The girl was unable to climb out of the sand hole. B．Lots of children were playing at Mission Beach when the accident happened. C．Few people realized the danger of playing sand. D．A16-year-old teenager lost her life in the accident. ( ) 5．Which of the following can best describe Dalila Cruz? A．She was hard to get along with. B．She depended too much on others. C．She cared little about her own safety. D．She was a smart and helpful woman. ( ) 6．What is the right order of the following events? a.Everybody cheered. b.Dalila Cruz called for help. c.The lifeguards failed to pull the girl out. d.The lifeguards began to dig around the hole. e.A group of people gathered around the teen girl. A．b-e-d-c-a B．b-e-c-d-a C．e-b-c-d-a D．e-b-d-c-a ( ) 7．In the last paragraph, how does the writer show sand can be dangerous? A．By giving facts. B．By listing examples. C．By describing a scene. D．By explaining the reason. （C） An old saying used for forecasting the weather says, “Red sky at night, sailors' delight. Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning.” Is the saying true? It turns out that it is. A red sky at sunset may mean that there are clear skies to the west, where the sun sets. A red sky at sunrise usually means that the clear weather has already passed, so storms might be coming. Forecasting the weather has been practiced for thousands of years. In the 5th century BC, the Greeks sent out forecasts to sailors. They used signs in nature to forecast the weather. But today, meteorologists send exact forecasts further in advance. They use scientific instruments to study weather conditions around the world and make forecasts. Pilots, farmers and many other people depend on these forecasts. Luckily, most of us can simply look on the smart phone or turn on the TV to find out what kind of weather is coming. If you are looking for some signs of the weather, pay attention to nature. There are two basic rules used in weather forecasting: Weather generally moves from west to east, and low air pressure usually means rain or snow.So pay attention to the signs. If rainbows form in the west at sunrise, the sun is on the way. Smell the flowers—their smells are stronger in wet air. What are the ants doing? Are they moving to higher ground? This could mean a drop in air pressure. Are the birds flying low or high? Falling air pressure may influence birds' ears, so they fly low. And if the sky is red at sunset, you might plan a picnic for the next day! ( ) 8．What is the old saying about? A．The beauty of sunrise. B．The night sky. C．The signs of the weather. D．The sailors' work. ( ) 9．What does the underlined word “meteorologists” mean? A．The persons who give daily weather reports on TV. B．The persons who carry out research on natural history. C．The persons who take an interest in plants and animals. D．The persons who do scientific studies of weather conditions. ( ) 10．What do we know from the last paragraph? A．It'll be sunny if ants move to higher places. B．The smells of flowers are stronger in wet air. C．Birds fly higher because of the low air pressure. D．It'll rain if rainbows form in the west at sunrise. ( ) 11．What is the writer's purpose in writing the text? A．To encourage people to get close to nature. B．To express the need for weather forecasting. C．To explain that nature can tell us about the weather. D．To discuss how important weather forecasting is. （D） ①On 9th October, Hurricane Milton became the strongest hurricane to hit the United States in 2024. Big storms like this are happening more often and are getting stronger. So, meteorologists (气象学家) are working hard to predict them. AI is playing an important role in this work. ②For years, meteorologists have used computers to make models of storms. They use information from planes and satellites (人造卫星). It takes those models hours to create predictions. But AI models use lots of data from past storms to find patterns(模式). They can find rules that most humans can't. And they can do this very quickly. This year, AI models made accurate(精确的) predictions in just seconds about storms, sometimes even how many days before they happened. ③One AI program called GraphCast correctly predicted that Hurricane Beryl would hit Texas on 8th July, while a traditional model predicted it would hit Mexico. GraphCast was right, and the team behind it won an engineering prize. ④In September, another AI program called AIFS predicted the path of Hurricane Francine as it hit Louisiana. Because it was so accurate, Matt Lanza, a meteorologist in Houston, Texas, told people in Texas that the storm wouldn't be a problem for them. “It was really amazing,” Lanza said. ⑤Even though AI is helpful and has made significant success, it's still not good enough. Lanza said that AI models have trouble predicting how strong a storm will be and how much rain will fall. That's why meteorologists need to use AI along with other tools. “We're not just letting AI make the forecasts,” he said. ( ) 12．How are AI models different from traditional models according to Paragraph 2? A．AI models are faster at creating predictions. B．AI models need information only from satellites. C．AI models need more data to make predictions. D．It takes longer for AI models to give more accurate results. ( ) 13．What does the underlined word “significant” in Paragraph 5 mean? A．Very famous. B．Very similar. C．Very common. D．Very important. ( ) 14．How will the future use of AI in weather prediction be? A．It won't get any better than it is now. B．It will be more accurate but still need help from humans. C．It will do all the work and take human meteorologists' place. D．It will only be used for predicting hurricanes, not other weather events. ( ) 15．What is the structure of the passage? A．①②③④/⑤ B．①/②③/④⑤ C．①/②/③④/⑤ D．①②/③/④⑤ 三、任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） Floodwaters may not look all that dangerous on TV, especially if you're a skilled swimmer. But flash floods are actually very dangerous. They can happen with almost no warning. 1.____________ Prevention is always your best chance of living through a flash flood. Flash floods can happen without clear signs like clouds and heavy rain. 2.____________ As soon as you receive words of a flash flood, head for higher ground at once. If you see floodwaters, avoid all moving water, even if it seems to be very shallow. 3.____________ You could hit your head, break a bone, or worse, get swept away into much deeper, faster-moving water. Any place where the water is above your foot is dangerous. If you have no choice but to walk through water, go where the water is shallow and isn't moving. If necessary, use a stick to check the depth as you walk. As you make your way to higher ground, avoid touching or getting near electrical equipment. If you get swept away by floodwaters, catch or climb onto something as soon as you are able to. 4.____________ It's hard for rescue teams to find people stuck in the water, so anything you can do to make yourself more noticeable is big help. Don't give up. Keep shouting and waving until you're rescued. A．So be sure to check the local weather report. B．Shout loudly for help and wave an arm if possible. C．Just six inches of moving water can knock you over. D．So you should get prepared before the disaster comes. E．Here is what you should do to save yourself in a flash flood. 5．Do you have any other ways to protect yourself during flash floods?

Forecasting the weather has been practiced for thousands of years.In the 5th century BC,the Greeks sent out forecasts to sailors.They used signs in nature to forecast the weather.But today, meteorologists send exact forecasts further in advance.They use scientific instruments to study weather conditions around the world and make forecasts.Pilots,farmers and many other people depend on these forecasts.Luckily,most of us can simply look on the smart phone or turn on the TV to find out what kind of weather is coming. If you are looking for some signs of the weather,pay attention to nature.There are two basic rules used in weather forecasting:Weather generally moves from west to east,and low air pressure usually means rain or snow.So pay attention to the signs.If rainbows form in the west at sunise,the sun is on the way.Smell the flowers-their smells are stronger in wet air.What are the ants doing? Are they moving to higher ground?This could mean a drop in air pressure.Are the birds flying low or high?Falling air pressure may influence birds'ears,so they fly low.And if the sky is red at sunset,you might plan a picnic for the next day!CDBC ()8.What is the old saying about?

But AI models use lots of data from past storms to find patterns().They can find rules that most humans can't.And they can do this very quickly.This year,AI models made accurate( predictions in just seconds about storms,sometimes even how many days before they happened. 3One AI program called GraphCast correctly predicted that Huricane Beryl would hit Texas on 8th July,while a traditional model predicted it would hit Mexico.GraphCast was right,and the team behind it won an engineering prize. 4In September,another AI program called AIFS predicted the path of Hurricane Francine as it hit Louisiana.Because it was so accurate,Matt Lanza,a meteorologist in Houston,Texas,told people in Texas that the storm wouldn't be a problem for them."It was really amazing,"Lanza said. 5Even though AI is helpful and has made significant success,it's still not good enough. Lanza said that AI models have trouble predicting how strong a storm will be and how much rain will fall.That's why meteorologists need to use AI along with other tools."We're not just letting AI make the forecasts,"he said.ADBC ()12.How are AI models different from traditional models according to Paragraph 2?
