Last year, humans cut down many trees near the river. They built big machines that made loud noises day and night. As a result, we couldn’t sleep at all. “Trees hold the soil,” Grandpa warned, but no one listened. Then came the heavy rain. Without trees, the soil was washed away, turning the river into a wild, brown torrent (激流). It also flooded our nests—we barely (勉强) made it to safety. This month, strong winds blew down our tree. Grandpa said, “Winds never used to be this fierce. Humans take too much from the forest,” he sighed, “so nature fights back.” We now live in a small, bare patch (小块土地). Most animals miss the old forest, where rain gently watered flowers and winds sang softly through the leaves. Maybe if humans stop taking too much, nature can find its balance again. But for now, we birds stay alert (警觉的) and worried. Could anybody help us? 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1. Why couldn’t the sparrow have a good sleep last year? A．Because it rained too heavily.

B．He thought humans were too silly to share the world with. C．He had the ability to stop the humans’ bad actions but he didn’t do so. D．He knew the connections between human activities and changes in nature. 5. In which part of a newspaper can we read this text? A．History. B．Money. C．Nature. D．Sport. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. A 4. D 5. C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，以一只小麻雀的视角，讲述了缅甸掸邦森林因人类过度砍伐等活动，导致环境恶化，动物们失去家园的故事，呼吁人们重视人与自然的关系。 1. 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Last year, humans cut down many trees near the river. They built big machines that made loud noises day and night. As a result, we couldn’t sleep at all.”可知，去年人类在河边砍伐了许多树木，建造了大机器，日夜发出很大的噪音，导致麻雀无法入睡。所以麻雀去年睡不好是因为机器太吵了，故选B。 2. 词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“This month, strong winds blew down our tree. Grandpa said, ‘Winds never used to be this fierce. Humans take too much from the forest,’ he sighed, ‘so nature fights back.’”可知，这个月强风刮倒了树，爷爷说风以前没这么猛烈，由此可推断“fierce”意思是“猛烈的，狂暴的”，与“Strong and wild”意思相近，故选D。 3. 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“We now live in a small, bare patch (小块土地). Most animals miss the old forest...But for now, we birds stay alert (警觉的) and worried. Could anybody help us?”可知，现在动物们住在小块土地上，它们想念以前的森林，鸟儿们很警觉和担心，由此可推断鸟儿们担心失去家园，故选A。 4. 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“‘Trees hold the soil,’ Grandpa warned, but no one listened. Then came the heavy rain. Without trees, the soil was washed away, turning the river into a wild, brown torrent (激流).”以及第三段“Grandpa said, ‘Winds never used to be this fierce. Humans take too much from the forest,’ he sighed, ‘so nature fights back.’”可知，爷爷知道树木能固定土壤，人类过度砍伐森林会导致自然环境恶化，说明他了解人类活动与自然变化之间的联系，故选D。 5. 推理判断题。文章主要讲述了森林环境因人类活动恶化，动物们失去家园的故事，这是关于自然环境方面的内容，所以最有可能在报纸的自然版块读到这篇文章，故选C。 Passage 5 A typhoon is a powerful storm that brings strong winds and heavy rain. It can cause a lot of damage, especially in coastal areas. During a typhoon, there are very strong winds that can knock down trees and power lines.

Listening to weather reports can help people know when it’s safe to go outside. After the typhoon passes, there may be a lot of cleanup to do. Fallen trees and branches need to be removed.

And 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述了自然灾害对环境和人类生活的危害，介绍了热浪、洪水、森林火灾和地震的特点及应对措施，并给出了灾后情绪调节的建议，强调了掌握防灾知识和保持积极心态的重要性。 1. 句意：最常见的自然灾害包括森林火灾、洪水、热浪和地震。形容词最高级“most common”前需要加定冠词the，表示“最常见的”，位于句首，首字母要大写。故填The。 2. 句意：热浪会升高海水温度，使海域比以前暖和得多。句中有“than before”，表示比较，所以要用形容词warm的比较级warmer。故填warmer。 3. 句意：全球变暖是热浪持续时间更长的原因之一，它是由燃烧煤炭和石油等人类活动引起的。根据空格后“like burning coal and oil”可知，此处是指人类的多项活动，activity是可数名词，应用其复数形式activities。故填activities。 4. 句意：洪水来临时，人们切勿在湍急的水流中行走，因为水流很容易把人冲走。动词“take”需要用副词来修饰，所以形容词easy要变为副词easily。故填easily。 5. 句意：如果你/你们遇到森林火灾，应该用湿毛巾保护自己，远离燃烧区域。protect oneself是固定搭配，表示“保护自己”。这里主语是“you”，可以用反身代词 yourself或yourselves。故填yourself/yourselves。 6. 句意：如果你不能迅速找到安全的地方，你可以待在河边或池塘附近。根据语境，此处是条件状语从句，意为“如果……”，用If引导，位于句首，首字母要大写。故填If。 7. 句意：地震时，最重要的是保持冷静，躲在桌子下面，紧紧抓住桌腿。动词hide与hold是伴随动作，用现在分词作伴随状语，表示“躲在桌子下”的同时“紧紧抓住桌腿”。故填holding。 8. 句意：学会如何应对这些情绪很重要。how to do sth.是“疑问词+不定式”结构，在句中作“learn”的宾语。故填to deal。 9. 句意：我们可以和家人分享感受，他们会给我们很多鼓励。“a lot of”后面需要接名词，所以动词encourage要变为名词encouragement，不可数。故填encouragement。 10. 句意：并且，做一些体育活动也是让自己感觉更好的好方法。这里表示并列或递进关系，承接前文“和家人分享”，补充“做体育活动也是好方法”，应用And，位于句首，首字母要大写。故填And。 Passage 10 阅读下面短文，根据上下文或括号内单词等提示，在空白处填入适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The China International Search and Rescue Team (CISAR) was formed in 2001.

Passage 4 Grandpa Owl always said, “The forest used to be calm.” But I, a young sparrow (麻雀), live in Shan State, Myanmar, and have only known storms and floods. Last year, humans cut down many trees near the river. They built big machines that made loud noises day and night. As a result, we couldn’t sleep at all. “Trees hold the soil,” Grandpa warned, but no one listened. Then came the heavy rain. Without trees, the soil was washed away, turning the river into a wild, brown torrent (激流). It also flooded our nests—we barely (勉强) made it to safety. This month, strong winds blew down our tree. Grandpa said, “Winds never used to be this fierce. Humans take too much from the forest,” he sighed, “so nature fights back.” We now live in a small, bare patch (小块土地). Most animals miss the old forest, where rain gently watered flowers and winds sang softly through the leaves. Maybe if humans stop taking too much, nature can find its balance again.

Passage 5 A typhoon is a powerful storm that brings strong winds and heavy rain. It can cause a lot of damage, especially in coastal areas. During a typhoon, there are very strong winds that can knock down trees and power lines. The heavy rain can cause flooding, and tall waves can damage buildings near the coast. In the eye of a typhoon, the weather is surprisingly calm. The winds stop and the rain may pause. But this is only temporary.

People should stay indoors and close all windows and doors. They should also have food, water, and flashlights ready in case the power goes out. Listening to weather reports can help people know when it’s safe to go outside. After the typhoon passes, there may be a lot of cleanup to do. Fallen trees and branches need to be removed. Broken windows and damaged roofs need to be repaired. Communities often come together to help each other after a typhoon.

North America has tornadoes and hurricanes while China has typhoons. Every year, these storms cause serious damage in different parts of the world. Tornadoes are very dangerous and move quickly. 1 . They form suddenly during thunderstorms and look like turning, dark funnel-shaped cloud. Though small (usually 100-500 meters wide), their strong winds can destroy buildings immediately. The U.S. gets about 1,200 tornadoes yearly, especially in “Tornado Alley”. Hurricanes bring heavy rain and strong winds. These huge storms form over warm Atlantic Ocean water. With winds over 120 km/h, they can last for days and flood coastal areas. Hurricane Katrina (2005) caused over 1,800 deaths in the U. S. Typhoons affect China every year. Typhoons are the same as hurricanes but happen in the Pacific Ocean. 2 . Typhoon Haiyan (2013) was one of the strongest in history. 3 . They can throw dangerous objects, bring heavy floods (such as hurricanes or typhoons), and cut off power for days. 4 First, always watch the weather news to know about coming storms. Get ready by preparing important things like food, water, and flashlights. 5 . If there’s a tornado, go to your basement or a small room without windows right away. For big storms like hurricanes, stay inside your house and don’t go near windows. After the storm, be careful! Don’t touch broken electric wires and stay away from flood water.
