I left home to support my sister in her efforts to present a music festival.She lives on the other side of the world, and I went to visit her, not wanting to leave and feeling like I was leaving home against my will.However, I wanted to show her my support because she is my only sister.
So I boarded the plane in mid-August,and hated the long flight.I arrived, tired and hungry.I had left my husband of 2 years, alone, in our old New Orleans house.
I was all set and ready to perform for my sister for the music festival on Sunday morning when I received a call from Chicago.The hurricane was predicted to hit our city,and many people had already evacuated, but my husband chose to stay behind.He could not make a call to me on the other side of the world,but he could call his cousin in Chicago.He gave his cousin a message for me, that he would be just fine,and wished me not to worry.
As the day wore on, I finally took the stage in front of hundreds of Europeans, and I realized, thanks to CNN, that New Orleans was under water.
I performed, hoping that my husband would survive.And I performed perfectly.The audience stood and applauded.I left the stage and went straight to the TV.I saw the street sign near my home, of Humanity Street, but nothing below it, except water.
In the days that followed, I found out that my house, my car, my clothes, my furniture, everything that I’d left behind was gone ... but not my husband — he survived.
By the first week of September, I flew back to the US and hugged my husband.Since then, our relationship has grown deeper;we have completely rebuilt our house, bought a new car, bought new furniture and new clothes and joined an inspirational, spirit-filled community.
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述了作者离开家支持姐姐主持音乐节。她所在的城市遭遇飓风,家里的东西都没了,幸好她丈夫幸存下来,他们重建了家园,而且感情更好了。

When it comes to natural disasters, floods come first in the US since they kill more people and destroy more properties each year than tornadoes, hurricanes, lightning and so on. Flooding is already happening in the Mississippi. So, roll up your pant legs and get ready, because the best way to deal with floods is to be prepared.
Communication is key. When all systems are normal you have multiple modes of getting in touch with loved ones. But if cell phone towers are damaged from major flooding, you need a backup. Have a plan in place for how everyone will get in touch with each other, including a safe place to meet up in the event you have to evacuate. And then add a Plan B and C.
Store an emergency kit. As water floods around you, it’ll be important to have safe drinking water available to everyone for at least three days. So fill your emergency kit with canned food to guarantee enough supply, since cooking might be unfeasible for a while during the floods. Think about what else you’ll want to have handy, including batteries, flashlights, blankets, rubber boots and a first-aid kit. A battery-operated, or wind-up radio is vital.
It’s great to be prepared, but what if a flash flood rushes in before you’ve had a chance to leave? The safest way is to get as high up as possible at once, and then call 911, trying to avoid the flood water at all costs. Do not, for instance, wander around in the basement or any room in which water is covering the electrical lines.
If you evacuated, don’t return until the authorities give you the announcement that floods are decreasing to the minimum. Your home’s structure and power might all be fragile. At this stage, patience is vital. At home you might as well sit tight and wait for the waters to die down, and for the electricians to assess the damage.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了自然灾害洪水在美国影响最大, 因为它们每年杀死的人和摧毁的财产比龙卷风、飓风、闪电等更多。
28.Why do the floods come first in the US?
A.People are more afraid to be struck by floods.
B.Floods are hard to be well prepared beforehand.
C.Flooding is already happening in the Mississippi.
D.They are more destructive than other natural disasters.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段第一句可知, 洪水在美国排第一是因为它们比其他自然灾害更具破坏性。故选D。
29.People should do the following preparations before the floods except ___ .
A.storing enough food
B.owning a first-aid kit
C.building a cell phone tower
D.needing a backup plan
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段“But if cell phone towers are damaged from major flooding, you need a backup. ”以及第三段可知, C选项“建造一个手机信号塔”没有提及。故选C。
30.What does the underlined word “unfeasible” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Important. B.Impossible.
C.Useful. D.Accessible.
答案:B
解析:词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“So fill your emergency kit with canned food to guarantee enough supply, since cooking might be”可知, 在你的应急包里装满罐头食品, 以保证足够的供应, 是因为在洪水期间, 不可能做饭。故画线词意思是“不可能的”。故选B。
31.What should you do at first if you have no chance to evacuate?
A.Rush to the height.
B.Call 911 to get help.
C.Hide in the basement.
D.Try to avoid the floods.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The safest way is to get as high up as possible at once, and then call 911, trying to avoid the flood water at all costs.”可知, 首先要做的是跑到高处。故选A。
D
A heatwave has hit many countries in Europe, pushing temperatures over 40℃. A heatwave is a long period of unusually hot weather. The heat is expected to continue until the end of July.
The Italian Island of Sardinia reached 46 ℃ on 18 July. The Italy government has asked people to dress in linen(a thin, light material) and to stay indoors between 10 am and 6 pm. The government has asked people to drink plenty of water but avoid alcohol, fizzy drinks and coffee, which can make you feel thirstier. In Rome, the country’s capital, people aged over 70 can go to swimming pools for free to help them keep cool.
Wildfires have broken out in many places. In Greece, which recorded 41℃ on 18 July, fires near the capital, Athens, have destroyed huge areas of forest and thousands of people have been moved to safety. Heatwaves can make fires worse because hot weather dries plants, which fuel the fires.
In the US, temperatures in Death Valley, California, hit 53 ℃ on 18 July, close to the hottest ever recorded on Earth. On 16 July, the US National Weather Service issued warnings in parts of the country, affecting more than 80 million people.
Despite the high temperatures in many European countries, the UK is not experiencing a heatwave. This is because a different weather pattern has brought rain and lower temperatures to the UK.
The heatwave in Europe is being caused by a weather pattern that has stopped the air from moving very much. That means the hot, dry weather has got stuck and temperatures have kept rising. Earth is also experiencing a natural climate pattern called El Nino(厄尔尼诺), which causes the water in the eastern Pacific Ocean to warm up more than usual. This can lead to hot weather around the world. Temperatures in some parts of Europe were expected to fall on 20 July.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了热浪袭击欧洲以及各地政府采取的措施。
32.What suggestion did the Italian government give to avoid high temperatures?
A.Provide free swimming pools to keep young people cool.
B.Wear thick clothes to prevent the invasion of heat.
C.Drink enough amounts of coffee to keep the mind clear.
D.Don’t go outdoors during high temperature periods.

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I worked as a nurse, I was on day duty while my workmates were on night duty. On one shift, I sensed something strange just before going off duty at 11 am. I put down the tray (托盘) on the table and suddenly it fell off the table. At first, I didn’t care as I thought I had accidentally knocked it over, but then I felt the whole building shaking and heard patients were screaming and running madly.
At that moment, I realized that an earthquake was happening. My first thought was to rescue my patient and protect myself. I quickly caught hold of a nearby patient, who was terribly frightened and pushed her under a bed. And then, I got under another bed myself. As soon as the earthquake stopped, I decided to try and get the patient safely outside. I carried her out and helped her down to the grassland, where several other people had gathered.
As I was afraid that my other workmates were in danger, I went back inside the building again. When I met Lucy, our head nurse, I found her patient couldn’t walk. We made a seat for the patient by linking our hands and arms, and carried her outside together. We went back through the building to check if anyone was left behind in our sickroom.
Just then, we saw that a man doctor was calling for volunteers to go down to other sickrooms with him to help more patients and medical workers. So we followed him together. The doctor went ahead of us and found one of the nurses partially covered with broken stones, luckily still alive. Suddenly, the aftershock struck and the doctor ordered us to leave. The brave doctor intended to stay alone and risk his own life to save the nurse.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;

But no one was willing to leave. ______________________________________________

[参考范文]
But no one was willing to leave. We immediately took quick action to begin the rescue. We first encouraged him to keep calm and build up confidence. We gently removed the blocks one by one. Then we gently lifted her out. She was bleeding from several injuries in her body. During our rescue, there were several small earthquakes occurring and the building shook violently. Without delay, we wheeled her to the treatment room and treated her wounds as quickly as possible. Then we took her downstairs to safety.
My next task was to settle and care for the sick on the ground. I was relieved that the patients and the doctors and nurses had safely escaped from the building. However, because the patients were too weak to stand for long periods of time, I went back to the sickroom to get some quilts and spread them on the grass for the patients to rest on them. I then helped rescue workers set up tents and create a rescue center, and thus the patients recovered their normal treatment.
