The building swayed(摇摆) like a tree in the wind. I immediately hid under my desk, my heart pounding with fear. I could hear screams and the sound of breaking glass from outside. I was sure that was the end. Miraculously, the building did not collapse(倒塌). When the shaking stopped, I rushed out of the building with my colleagues. The streets were filled with dust and frightened people. Many buildings around us had been damaged. We later learned that it was a 7.0-magnitude earthquake. That night, we had to sleep in a temporary shelter in a park because our homes were unsafe to return to. The experience was terrifying, but it made me realize how fragile(脆弱的) life can be and how important it is to be prepared for natural disasters. 24. Where was the author when the earthquake started? A. In a park. B. In his car. C. In his office. D. In his home. 25. What did the author do when the earthquake became violent? A. He ran out of the building. B. He hid under his desk. C. He called his family. D. He stood by the window. 26. How did the author feel during the earthquake? A. Terrified and fearful. B. Excited and curious. C. Calm and peaceful. D. Confused and lost. 27. Where did the author stay that night? A. In his office. B. In his home. C. In a hotel. D. In a temporary shelter. C Are flash floods becoming more serious? According to the Environment Agency, around 5.2 million properties in England alone are at risk of flooding. Climate change is bringing more unpredictable weather patterns, such as wetter weather and rising sea level. Therefore, protecting yourselves from flooding has never been more important. Here are some things you can do. First, stay informed. Download the weather app and allow notices. The app will provide you with real-time weather warnings allowing you to take appropriate measures. Extreme weather events are an unstoppable force — sometimes leaving the area will be your only safe option. Second, know the level of risk by looking at flood maps. You may be required to have flood insurance if you live in a high-risk area. Third, create an emergency plan. Make sure you always keep emergency supplies to last several days, including a first aid kit. Having a way of recharging your mobile phone is worth considering too. But be particularly careful when travelling by car. Don’t drive through flooded streets — it’s difficult to judge the water depth, and roadways hidden below the water can collapse. If floodwaters cause your vehicle to lose control, give it up and seek the higher ground. Rapidly rising water can sweep the vehicle away. Plan for the worst; hope for the best. The Met Office predicted that extreme rainfall events could be four times as frequent by the 2070s compared to the 1980s. In the face of increasing climate-related challenges, adopting a proactive approach to flood protection seems increasingly advisable. 28. Why does the author ask the question in Paragraph 1? A. To confirm an idea. B. To introduce a topic. C. To conclude the text. D. To express some doubts. 29. What are the drivers especially advised to do when travelling? A. Avoid driving through the flooded streets. B. Get rid of necessary supplies if necessary. C. Purchase flood insurance in advance. D. Keep the weather app updated over time. 30. What kind of writing skill does the author use in the last paragraph? A. Analyzing causes. B. Quoting sayings. C. Describing processes. D. Making comparisons. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. What is a flash flood? B. Do flash floods need controlling? C. Are flash floods becoming more serious? D. How do we protect ourselves from flash floods? D Based on a three-year-long study on millions of phones in ninety-eight countries, researchers found the global network of Android smartphones makes a useful earthquake early warning system(地震预警系统哪), which can detect(探测) earthquakes and give users valuable seconds to act before the shaking starts. Many countries have used traditional earthquake early warning systems with networks of earthquakes sensors to detect quakes and issue warnings across the affected area. Building such networks is expensive, and many areas where earthquakes are common do not have them. What they do have, however, is smartphones, which have built-in movement sensors. Using Android smartphones — which make up 70% of the global smartphone market — researchers developed the Android Earthquake Alert (AEA) system. “Although AEA is not always as timely as the traditional network detection, it can still detect small shaking during strong earthquakes,” says Allen, the leader of the study. Working on the same way as traditional earthquake detection systems, AEA system will send two types of warnings to the phone after detecting an earthquake. For earthquakes of magnitude 4.5 or higher, the system sends “Take Action” warnings to users. These warnings are designed to draw users’ attention immediately and remind them to take protective actions. It also delivers “Be Aware” warnings to areas expected to experience a shaking of magnitude 3 or 4. To test how effective these warnings were, the researchers used search engines to collect voluntary answers. Results from around 15.5 million people showed that 87% of them did experience shaking, with 36% receiving the warning before the ground began to move, 28% during and 23% after. Now, the researchers are focused on improving the AEA system. “We think that we can continue to improve the quality of earthquake detection, and also improve on our strategies to deliver effective warnings,” says Allen. In the future, Allen and his teammates hope to use the same information to produce other disaster-reducing tools. Maps of ground shaking, for example, could help the emergency rescue after an earthquake. 32. What is AEA’s advantage over the traditional way? A. It has smarter sensors. B. It requires less funding. C. It sends earlier warnings. D. It detects smaller quakes. 33. What decides the type of warnings? A. Result of the earthquake. B. Site of the earthquake. C. Magnitude of the earthquake. D. Reason of the earthquake. 34. What do Allen’s words mean in paragraph 5? A. Technological advances prevent disasters. B. Researches on earthquakes are in demand. C. Quality of rescue tools requires improvement. D. The warning system needs further development. 35. What is the purpose of this text? A. To introduce a warning system. B. To compare two types of alerts.     C. To raise public safety awareness. D. To promote a disaster rescue tool. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Stay Safe During a Typhoon When a typhoon strikes, the world outside can change from calm to dangerous in just a few minutes. The sky darkens, the wind grows wild, and heavy rain begins to fall with great force. 36 But staying calm and taking the right actions can make a big difference. Stay indoors and keep away from windows. During a typhoon, the safest place is always indoors. Once the storm begins, do not go outside, not even for a short look. Close all windows and doors tightly, and stay away from glass, which may break when hit by strong wind or flying objects. 37 Waiting indoors may feel long and boring, but it protects you from real danger outside. Be mindful of electricity and stay alert(警觉的). Strong wind and rain can be dangerous with electricity. If water begins to enter your home, turn off the main power in no time. Avoid touching wet plugs, wires, or electrical devices. Listen carefully to what’s happening around you. Sometimes a strange sound or sudden silence can mean trouble is near. 38 Follow official warnings and remain patient. 39 Follow the advice of local governments, even if the weather seems calmer for a moment. If the sky suddenly becomes calm, don’t be fooled — it is the “eye” of the typhoon that passes by. The wind can return even harder than before. So you should stay patient and wait for official news. 40 No one can stop the storm, but you can control how you face it. Take deep breaths, speak gently, and try to calm those around you. Help children, the elderly, or neighbors who might be alone. Courage grows when people care for each other. Kindness stands even in the strongest wind. A. The worst of the storm may be over. B. It is normal to feel fear at such a moment. C. A typhoon can change direction or strength at any time. D. Stay calm and support each other. E. You need to learn to fix the electricity by yourself. F. If you live high up, this rule is especially important. G. During a typhoon, attention saves more than strength does. 第三部分 语言运用(共三节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Like all people who live long enough, I have lived through many darkness and seen so much suffering.

Surrounded by green trees and blooming(盛开的) flowers, the five-floor teaching building looked bright and lively. The sunlight flooded in, warming the students and their wooden desks. High in the tree, a group of tiny birds chirped(啁啾叫) happily on the branches, their beautiful calls bringing the whole school to life. In Classroom 103 on the 4th floor, Mrs.Brown was teaching a geography lesson. “The Earth’s plates move very slowly,” she explained, pointing to a dynamic picture. “When they push against each other, earthquakes can happen. Remember, when an earthquake hits, calmness is the first step to self-rescue. Next you should…” Such earthquake safety lessons were held every month and earthquake safety procedures(程序) were practiced twice each term at Falmont. “Again! We have never experienced an earthquake before. Is this really necessary?” Tom whispered to his deskmate Lisa. “You never know.” Lisa continued taking notes attentively. Feeling bored, Tom looked out of the window. Suddenly, he noticed the birds flying away as if something terrible was happening. Then, a strong and loud noise, like a train made of thunder came from the north. It started with a slight shake. But the next second, the entire classroom shook heavily, and dust rained down from the ceiling. The lights in the classroom moved from side to side wildly, and the deafening crash of breaking glass rang out. “Earthquake!” Lisa shouted, with obvious fear in her voice. On hearing Lisa’s words, Tom jumped to his feet, crying and trying to rush out. Fear spread quickly among the class — some students stood still in their seats, their faces turning pale with terror; some students cried out, covering their ears with their hands. Everyone seemed to be out of control. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Remember what we have learned?” Mrs.Brown tried to calm the students down. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The moment the shaking stopped, Mrs. Brown sensed it was the best time to escape. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ( 10 / 10 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题06 Unit 2 Natural disasters 写作话题---自然灾害与防范 (单元测试—基础卷) (考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分) 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 难度系数：0.65。 4. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分 30 分) 做题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

W: What will you be doing first? I understand you start at 8 in the morning. M: That’s right. We were going to remove the fallen trees, but we’ve been told there are exams in the morning, and I’m sure the sound will disturb all the students, so instead we’ll fix that leaky roof first. That’s a four-hour job since it involves considerable repair, not like fixing broken windows, which can be done quite quickly. W: So you’ll fix the broken windows after that, from midday?

M: So how will your new detection system work? W: We’re going to use a new range of satellites which have heat cameras. M: Don’t other satellites have those? W: Yes, but none is so advanced. They can detect a fire the size of a football field. The new one can sense a fire the size of a car. M: And will that be enough of a difference to stop the fire from spreading? W: We believe so. Hopefully it will give firefighters enough time to stop it before it gets too big. If they get the plane up in time they could stop it dead. M: If it works, I really hope you get recognition for it. W: I just want to try and stop trees from burning, and more importantly, protect the poor animals that live in them. M: I know, we often only consider the human cost, never the animal one. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。 18. What threatens this city most? A. Wildfires. B. Storms. C. Floods. 19. What was the original purpose of the exhibition? A. To get money donations. B. To grow community art programs. C. To teach others about local issues. 20. What will the speaker do next? A. Invite others to speak. B. Share more local artworks. C. Present information on disasters. 【答案】18. C 19. B 20. A 【原文】 W: Thanks for coming to this art gallery opening. As you can see, all the art here has been painted and created to represent and celebrate local natural beauty. We come from such a beautiful place, so it is very important to realize how at risk it is. I’m not saying this to scare anyone, but to remind us how much we love our planet and how important it is to protect what we love. Here, you’ll see images of hills on fire, powerful typhoons, and rising floods. Within our coastal city, the biggest danger is sea-level rise. Many local artists have painted our streets and train stations underwater to show how real these risks are. Before we open the room to guests, I want to share the origin of this show. The initial idea was not fundraising or even climate messaging. We simply wanted to expand art classes in our community centers. That modest goal grew into this exhibition as students, teachers, and neighbors offered their talent, stories, and support. Because of everyone of you, more workshops will launch next month. To thank you for helping us reach this moment, I’d like to invite several of our lead supporters to say a few words about the student program. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A High School Field School is your opportunity to be an archaeologist.

According to the Environment Agency, around 5.2 million properties in England alone are at risk of flooding. Climate change is bringing more unpredictable weather patterns, such as wetter weather and rising sea level. Therefore, protecting yourselves from flooding has never been more important. Here are some things you can do. First, stay informed. Download the weather app and allow notices. The app will provide you with real-time weather warnings allowing you to take appropriate measures. Extreme weather events are an unstoppable force — sometimes leaving the area will be your only safe option. Second, know the level of risk by looking at flood maps. You may be required to have flood insurance if you live in a high-risk area. Third, create an emergency plan. Make sure you always keep emergency supplies to last several days, including a first aid kit. Having a way of recharging your mobile phone is worth considering too. But be particularly careful when travelling by car. Don’t drive through flooded streets — it’s difficult to judge the water depth, and roadways hidden below the water can collapse. If floodwaters cause your vehicle to lose control, give it up and seek the higher ground. Rapidly rising water can sweep the vehicle away. Plan for the worst; hope for the best. The Met Office predicted that extreme rainfall events could be four times as frequent by the 2070s compared to the 1980s. In the face of increasing climate-related challenges, adopting a proactive approach to flood protection seems increasingly advisable. 28. Why does the author ask the question in Paragraph 1? A. To confirm an idea. B. To introduce a topic. C. To conclude the text. D. To express some doubts. 29. What are the drivers especially advised to do when travelling? A. Avoid driving through the flooded streets. B. Get rid of necessary supplies if necessary. C. Purchase flood insurance in advance. D. Keep the weather app updated over time. 30. What kind of writing skill does the author use in the last paragraph? A. Analyzing causes. B. Quoting sayings. C. Describing processes. D. Making comparisons. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. What is a flash flood? B. Do flash floods need controlling? C. Are flash floods becoming more serious? D. How do we protect ourselves from flash floods? 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章针对山洪是否变得更严重这一问题，介绍了洪水风险的现状，并提供了多条个人防洪避险的建议。 28. 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Are flash floods becoming more serious?(山洪暴发是否正变得更加严重?)”以及后文“According to the Environment Agency, around 5.2 million properties in England alone are at risk of flooding.(根据环境署的数据，仅英格兰就有约520万处房产面临洪水风险)”和“Here are some things you can do.(以下是一些你可以做的事情)”可知，作者在第一段提出问题是为了引入本文关于防洪的话题。故选B项。 29. 细节理解题。根据第五段中“But be particularly careful when travelling by car. Don’t drive through flooded streets — it’s difficult to judge the water depth, and roadways hidden below the water can collapse.(但在驾车出行时要特别小心。不要驾车驶过被淹没的街道——很难判断水深，水面下的道路可能会坍塌)”可知，特别建议司机在旅行时避免驾车通过被淹没的街道。故选A项。 30. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The Met Office predicted that extreme rainfall events could be four times as frequent by the 2070s compared to the 1980s.(英国气象局预测，到21世纪70年代，极端降雨事件的频率可能是20世纪80年代的四倍)”可知，作者将21世纪70年代与20世纪80年代的极端降雨事件频率进行了比较，运用了作比较的写作技巧。故选D项。 31. 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“Therefore, protecting yourselves from flooding has never been more important. Here are some things you can do.(因此，防范洪水比以往任何时候都更加重要。以下是一些你可以做的事情)”以及后文分点介绍的具体措施可知，本文主要介绍了如何保护自己免受山洪灾害。故D项“How do we protect ourselves from flash floods?(我们如何保护自己免受山洪灾害？)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选D项。 D Based on a three-year-long study on millions of phones in ninety-eight countries, researchers found the global network of Android smartphones makes a useful earthquake early warning system(地震预警系统哪), which can detect(探测) earthquakes and give users valuable seconds to act before the shaking starts. Many countries have used traditional earthquake early warning systems with networks of earthquakes sensors to detect quakes and issue warnings across the affected area. Building such networks is expensive, and many areas where earthquakes are common do not have them. What they do have, however, is smartphones, which have built-in movement sensors. Using Android smartphones — which make up 70% of the global smartphone market — researchers developed the Android Earthquake Alert (AEA) system. “Although AEA is not always as timely as the traditional network detection, it can still detect small shaking during strong earthquakes,” says Allen, the leader of the study. Working on the same way as traditional earthquake detection systems, AEA system will send two types of warnings to the phone after detecting an earthquake. For earthquakes of magnitude 4.5 or higher, the system sends “Take Action” warnings to users. These warnings are designed to draw users’ attention immediately and remind them to take protective actions. It also delivers “Be Aware” warnings to areas expected to experience a shaking of magnitude 3 or 4. To test how effective these warnings were, the researchers used search engines to collect voluntary answers. Results from around 15.5 million people showed that 87% of them did experience shaking, with 36% receiving the warning before the ground began to move, 28% during and 23% after. Now, the researchers are focused on improving the AEA system. “We think that we can continue to improve the quality of earthquake detection, and also improve on our strategies to deliver effective warnings,” says Allen. In the future, Allen and his teammates hope to use the same information to produce other disaster-reducing tools. Maps of ground shaking, for example, could help the emergency rescue after an earthquake. 32. What is AEA’s advantage over the traditional way? A. It has smarter sensors. B. It requires less funding. C. It sends earlier warnings. D. It detects smaller quakes. 33. What decides the type of warnings? A. Result of the earthquake. B. Site of the earthquake. C. Magnitude of the earthquake. D. Reason of the earthquake. 34. What do Allen’s words mean in paragraph 5? A. Technological advances prevent disasters. B. Researches on earthquakes are in demand. C. Quality of rescue tools requires improvement. D. The warning system needs further development. 35. What is the purpose of this text? A. To introduce a warning system. B. To compare two types of alerts.     C. To raise public safety awareness. D. To promote a disaster rescue tool. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述研究人员研发出安卓地震警报系统，依托手机传感器实现地震预警，成本更低，能发送不同等级警报，目前正持续优化且有拓展应用潜力。 32. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Building such networks is expensive, and many areas where earthquakes are common do not have them. What they do have, however, is smartphones, which have built-in movement sensors. Using Android smartphones — which make up 70% of the global smartphone market — researchers developed the Android Earthquake Alert (AEA) system. (建立这样的网络成本高昂，许多地震多发地区都没有这样的系统。然而，这些地区拥有的是内置运动传感器的智能手机，研究人员利用占据全球智能手机市场 70% 份额的安卓智能手机，研发出了安卓地震警报系统。)”可知，传统地震预警系统建造成本高，而AEA依托现有智能手机研发，所需资金更少，这是其相较传统方式的优势。故选B项。 33. 细节理解题。根据第三段“For earthquakes of magnitude 4.5 or higher, the system sends “Take Action” warnings to users. (对于4.5级及以上的地震，该系统会向用户发送“采取行动”的警报。)”和“It also delivers “Be Aware” warnings to areas expected to experience a shaking of magnitude 3 or 4. (它也会向预计将遭遇3级或4级震动的地区发送“提高警惕”的警报。)”可知，系统会根据地震的震级不同，发送不同类型的警报，地震震级决定了警报类型。故选C项。 34. 推理判断题。根据第五段“We think that we can continue to improve the quality of earthquake detection, and also improve on our strategies to deliver effective warnings (我们认为我们可以继续提升地震探测的质量，同时也可以改进我们发布有效警报的策略)”可知，Allen表示团队还能继续优化地震探测质量和警报发布策略，由此可推断该预警系统仍需要进一步的研发和完善。故选D项。 35. 推理判断题。根据第一段“Based on a three-year-long study on millions of phones in ninety-eight countries, researchers found the global network of Android smartphones makes a useful earthquake early warning system, which can detect earthquakes and give users valuable seconds to act before the shaking starts. (基于对 98 个国家数百万部手机开展的一项为期三年的研究，研究人员发现，全球安卓智能手机网络可成为一套实用的地震早期预警系统，该系统能探测到地震，并在震动开始前为用户争取到宝贵的反应时间。)”可知，文章开篇便点明研究成果 —— 安卓智能手机网络可作为实用的地震预警系统，后文围绕该 AEA 系统的研发背景、工作模式、测试效果及优化方向展开，全文核心是介绍这款安卓地震预警系统。故选A项。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Stay Safe During a Typhoon When a typhoon strikes, the world outside can change from calm to dangerous in just a few minutes. The sky darkens, the wind grows wild, and heavy rain begins to fall with great force. 36 But staying calm and taking the right actions can make a big difference. Stay indoors and keep away from windows. During a typhoon, the safest place is always indoors. Once the storm begins, do not go outside, not even for a short look. Close all windows and doors tightly, and stay away from glass, which may break when hit by strong wind or flying objects. 37 Waiting indoors may feel long and boring, but it protects you from real danger outside. Be mindful of electricity and stay alert(警觉的). Strong wind and rain can be dangerous with electricity. If water begins to enter your home, turn off the main power in no time. Avoid touching wet plugs, wires, or electrical devices. Listen carefully to what’s happening around you. Sometimes a strange sound or sudden silence can mean trouble is near. 38 Follow official warnings and remain patient. 39 Follow the advice of local governments, even if the weather seems calmer for a moment. If the sky suddenly becomes calm, don’t be fooled — it is the “eye” of the typhoon that passes by. The wind can return even harder than before. So you should stay patient and wait for official news. 40 No one can stop the storm, but you can control how you face it. Take deep breaths, speak gently, and try to calm those around you. Help children, the elderly, or neighbors who might be alone. Courage grows when people care for each other. Kindness stands even in the strongest wind. A. The worst of the storm may be over. B. It is normal to feel fear at such a moment. C. A typhoon can change direction or strength at any time. D. Stay calm and support each other. E. You need to learn to fix the electricity by yourself. F. If you live high up, this rule is especially important. G. During a typhoon, attention saves more than strength does. 【答案】36. B 37. F 38. G 39. C 40. D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了台风期间的安全防护措施。 36. 上文“The sky darkens, the wind grows wild, and heavy rain begins to fall with great force. (天空变暗，狂风大作，暴雨猛烈袭来)”描述了台风天的危险景象，下文“But staying calm and taking the right actions can make a big difference. (但保持冷静并采取正确行动会有很大作用)”以转折引出应对方法。选项B“在这种时刻感到恐惧是正常的”承接上文的危险场景，解释了人们的情绪反应，同时衔接下文“保持冷静”的建议，符合语境。故选B。 37. 上文“Close all windows and doors tightly, and stay away from glass, which may break when hit by strong wind or flying objects. (紧闭门窗，远离玻璃，以免玻璃被强风或飞行物击中而破裂)”强调了室内避险的要点，且提到“远离玻璃”的原因。选项F“如果你住在高层，这条规则尤为重要”进一步补充了“远离门窗/玻璃”的适用场景(高层更易受狂风影响)，符合语境。故选F。 38. 根据上文“Strong wind and rain can be dangerous with electricity. If water begins to enter your home, turn off the main power in no time. Avoid touching wet plugs, wires, or electrical devices. Listen carefully to what’s happening around you. Sometimes a strange sound or sudden silence can mean trouble is near.(强风和暴雨与电接触在一起可能会非常危险。如果水开始渗入您的房屋，请立即切断主电源。避免触碰潮湿的插头、电线或电器设备。仔细留意周围发生的情况。有时一种奇怪的声音或突然的寂静可能意味着危险即将来临)”可知，本段强调stay alert(保持警觉)、留意异常声音，说明专心、警惕很重要。故G选项“在台风期间，集中注意力比体力更重要”符合语境，故选G。 39. 根据后文“Follow the advice of local governments, even if the weather seems calmer for a moment. If the sky suddenly becomes calm, don’t be fooled — it is the “eye” of the typhoon that passes by. The wind can return even harder than before. So you should stay patient and wait for official news.(遵循当地政府的建议吧，即便此刻天气看似暂时平静下来。如果天空突然变得平静下来，也不要被迷惑——那其实是台风经过时留下的“台风眼”。风力可能会比之前更猛烈。所以你应该保持耐心，等待官方消息)”可知，后句提到即使暂时平静，也可能是台风眼，风会再次变强，对应台风随时会变化。故C选项“台风随时都可能改变方向或强度”符合语境，故选C。 40. 根据后文“No one can stop the storm, but you can control how you face it. Take deep breaths, speak gently, and try to calm those around you. Help children, the elderly, or neighbors who might be alone. Courage grows when people care for each other. Kindness stands even in the strongest wind.(没有人能阻止风暴的到来，但你可以控制自己面对风暴的方式。深呼吸，语气温和，努力让周围的人也保持冷静。帮助孩子、老人或者可能独自一人的邻居。当人们相互关爱时，勇气就会增长。善良即使在最猛烈的风暴中也能存在)”可知，本段讲calm、help others、care for each other，对应“保持冷静、互相帮助”。故D选项“保持冷静，并相互支持”符合语境，故选D。 第三部分 语言运用(共三节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Like all people who live long enough, I have lived through many darkness and seen so much suffering.

Fishermen, tourists, hotels, homes, and cars were swept away by huge waves 57 (cause) by the strong earthquake that reached a magnitude of 9.0. The undersea quake struck around 7:00 a.m., Sunday off the west coast of Indonesia’s Sumatra Island. In Sri Lanka, some 600 kilometres west of the quake centre, the number of 58 (death) stood at 2,498, and one million more were affected by the tsunami, government officials said. Indian officials said as many as 1,900 were killed along the southern coast. 59 254 were found dead in Thailand and 54 in three other countries. In southern Thailand, 1,900 people were hurt and many more were missing, local officials said. “I was having breakfast with my three children 60 water started filling my home. We had to leave everything and run to 61 (safe),” said Chandra Theeravit, a local Thai woman. Thousands of people are still missing, and the number of deaths is expected to grow even 62 (high) over the next few days. Foreign aid is 63 (organise) for the tsunami-hit countries. However, dangerous conditions and damaged roads will make 64 difficult to deliver food and supplies, 65 means the rescue work will face great challenges. 【答案】 56. killing 57. caused 58. deaths 59. Another 60. when 61. safety 62. higher 63. being organised 64. it 65. which 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了一次由9.0级强震引发的、波及多国的毁灭性海啸，列举了各国惨重的人员伤亡和财产损失，并引述了亲历者的描述。 56. 考查非谓语动词。句意：过去40年来最强烈的地震引发了一场海啸，海啸昨日袭击了亚洲各地的海岸线，在印度尼西亚、印度、泰国、马来西亚以及至少其他四个国家造成超过6500人死亡。句子主干成分完整，空处表示随着谓语行为自然发生的结果，作结果状语，应用kill“杀死”的现在分词形式。故填killing。 57. 考查非谓语动词。句意：渔民、游客、酒店、房屋和汽车被这场强度达9.0级的强烈地震所引发的巨浪卷走。句子已有谓语，空处是非谓语，作huge waves的后置定语，cause“引起”和huge waves逻辑上是被动关系，因此用cause的过去分词形式。故填caused。 58. 考查名词复数。句意：政府官员称，在震中以西约600公里的斯里兰卡，死亡人数达到2498人，另有超过一百万人受到海啸影响。空处作介词of的宾语，结合空后的“stood at 2,498”可知，可数名词death“死，死亡”需用复数形式。故填deaths。 59. 考查限定词。句意：在泰国又发现了254具遗体，在其他三个国家发现了54具。上文已分别列举了斯里兰卡和印度的死亡人数，此处是列举其他国家的数字，表示“(三者或三者以上中的)另外的，又一个”，空处应用another，句首单词的首字母需大写。故填Another。 60. 考查连词。句意：我当时正和我的三个孩子一起吃早餐，这时水开始涌进我的家。空处前后均为完整的句子，结合“I was having breakfast with my three children”可知，此处是用be doing when…表示“正在做某事时，忽然……”。故填when。 61. 考查名词。句意：我们不得不舍弃一切，逃往安全的地方。空处作介词to的宾语，名词safety符合题意，意为“安全”，是不可数名词。故填safety。 62. 考查比较级。句意：仍有数千人失踪，预计未来几天死亡人数还会进一步上升。结合空前的“even”可知，此处表示程度加深，空处应用high的比较级形式。故填higher。 63. 考查动词时态和语态。句意：正在为受海啸袭击的国家组织外国援助。空处和is构成谓语，结合前一句内容可知，本句表示动作正在进行中，时态应用现在进行时，organise“组织”和主语Foreign aid之间是被动关系，应用被动语态。故填being organised。 64. 考查it的用法。句意：然而，危险的环境和受损的道路将使食品和物资的运送变得困难，这意味着救援工作将面临巨大挑战。根据“make”和“difficult to deliver food and supplies”可知，此处应用固定结构“make it+形容词+to do sth.”表示“使做某事变得……”，其中it作形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的不定式。故填it。 65. 考查定语从句。句意：然而，危险的环境和受损的道路将使食品和物资的运送变得困难，这意味着救援工作将面临巨大挑战。空处引导非限制性定语从句，对前面的句子进行补充说明，从句中缺少主语，应用关系代词which作引导词。故填which。 第三节(共10小题；每小题0.5分, 满分5分) 阅读下面句子，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或所给单词的正确形式。 66. To everyone’s (relieve), the missing child was found safe and sound. 【答案】relief 【详解】考查名词用法。句意：令大家宽慰的是，失踪的孩子安然无恙地被找到了。分析句子结构可知，这里考查to one’s + 名词，为固定结构，relieve的名词形式为relief；to everyone’s relief，表“令大家宽慰的是”，符合语境。故填relief。 67. He was unable to contain his own (destruct) feelings. 【答案】destructive 【详解】考查形容词。句意：他无法克制自己的破坏性情绪。空处修饰名词feelings，提示词的形容词destructive“破坏性的”符合题意。故填destructive。 68. When I was at a loss, the idea of travelling abroad (occur) to me. 【答案】occurred 【详解】考查动词时态。句意：当我不知所措时，出国旅行的想法突然出现在我脑海中。根据从句“was”可知，主句动作也发生在过去，需用一般过去时occurred，作主句谓语。故填occurred。 69. What’s your (react) to the method of expanding vocabulary? 【答案】reaction 【详解】考查名词。句意：你对扩大词汇量的方法有什么反应？空处用于形容词性物主代词your之后，作表语，表示“反应”，应用名词reaction，由空前be动词is可知，需用单数形式。故填reaction。 70. The students expect (inform) about any changes to the exam schedule at least one week in advance. 【答案】to be informed 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：学生们希望至少提前一周被告知考试时间表的任何变动。expect to do sth.是固定用法，意为“期望做某事”，the students与inform“告知”之间是被动关系，用不定式的被动语态to be done，作宾语。故填to be informed。 71. I regret (inform) you that we have to cancel the long-awaited family reunion due to the sudden bad weather. 【答案】to inform 【详解】考查不定式。句意：我很遗憾地通知你，由于突然的坏天气，我们不得不取消期待已久的家庭团聚。固定短语regret to do sth，意为“遗憾做某事”，因此空格处是不定式to inform。故填to inform。 72. She realised that one of the greatest benefits of the Internet was its ability to remove the (distant) that usually exists between people. 【答案】distance 【详解】考查名词。句意：她意识到互联网最大的好处之一是它可以消除人们之间通常存在的距离。空处作remove的宾语，用名词distance“距离”。故填distance。 73. My friend warned me the street-side cafe might be disappointing, but its fresh cakes, warm staff, and cheap drinks were completely our expectations. 【答案】beyond 【详解】考查介词。句意：我的朋友提醒我那家街边咖啡馆可能会让人失望，但它新鲜的蛋糕、热情的店员和便宜的饮品完全超出了我们的预期。分析句子结构可知，此空考查介词，结合前文“朋友提醒可能失望”与后文“实际有新鲜蛋糕、热情店员和便宜饮品”的对比，需体现“实际情况超出预期”的语义；beyond作为介词，有“超出……范围”的含义，beyond our expectations为固定搭配，意为“超出我们的预期”，符合语境。故填beyond。 74. The damage caused by the tsunami was making it difficult (rescue) the survivors. 【答案】to rescue 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：海啸造成的破坏使得救援幸存者变得困难。此处为固定句型：make it+adj.+to do“使得做某事……”，it是形式宾语，不定式作真正的宾语。故填to rescue。 75. Jane sang so well as (come) out first in the singing competition. 【答案】to come 【详解】考查固定句型。句意：Jane 唱得如此好，以至于在歌唱比赛中得了第一名。句型so… as to do…表示“如此……以至于……”。故填to come。 第四部分 写作(共两节, 满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 假设你是李华，你从电视新闻中得知你的外国朋友 Tom 所在的城市发生了地震。请你根据以下要点用英语给他写一封信。 要点提示： (1)询问 Tom 及其家人是否安好； (2)该地震的危害：6 人死亡，500 多人受伤，20 人失踪，200 多所房屋倒塌； Dear Tom, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】 Dear Tom, How are you doing?

Surrounded by green trees and blooming(盛开的) flowers, the five-floor teaching building looked bright and lively. The sunlight flooded in, warming the students and their wooden desks. High in the tree, a group of tiny birds chirped(啁啾叫) happily on the branches, their beautiful calls bringing the whole school to life. In Classroom 103 on the 4th floor, Mrs.Brown was teaching a geography lesson. “The Earth’s plates move very slowly,” she explained, pointing to a dynamic picture. “When they push against each other, earthquakes can happen. Remember, when an earthquake hits, calmness is the first step to self-rescue. Next you should…” Such earthquake safety lessons were held every month and earthquake safety procedures(程序) were practiced twice each term at Falmont. “Again! We have never experienced an earthquake before. Is this really necessary?” Tom whispered to his deskmate Lisa. “You never know.” Lisa continued taking notes attentively. Feeling bored, Tom looked out of the window. Suddenly, he noticed the birds flying away as if something terrible was happening. Then, a strong and loud noise, like a train made of thunder came from the north. It started with a slight shake. But the next second, the entire classroom shook heavily, and dust rained down from the ceiling. The lights in the classroom moved from side to side wildly, and the deafening crash of breaking glass rang out. “Earthquake!” Lisa shouted, with obvious fear in her voice. On hearing Lisa’s words, Tom jumped to his feet, crying and trying to rush out. Fear spread quickly among the class — some students stood still in their seats, their faces turning pale with terror; some students cried out, covering their ears with their hands. Everyone seemed to be out of control. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Remember what we have learned?” Mrs.Brown tried to calm the students down. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The moment the shaking stopped, Mrs. Brown sensed it was the best time to escape. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “Remember what we have learned?” Mrs.Brown tried to calm the students down. She stopped Tom and quickly observed around as she shouted clear instructions: “Drop down onto your hands and knees! Cover your head and neck with your hands, arms or hard objects! Hide under your desks and hold on to their legs tight!” Inspired by her calmness, the panicked students gradually followed her words. Meanwhile, Mrs.Brown quickly opened the classroom door in case it became damaged and could not open. There were loud crashes of glass breaking and things falling to the ground, but the students remained still and waited calmly and quietly. The moment the shaking stopped, Mrs.Brown sensed it was the best time to escape. She signaled to her students to form two orderly lines as practiced, exiting the classroom and moving swiftly downstairs, covering their heads with their hands. Within two minutes, the whole class went downstairs and rushed to the playground. Soon students from other classes arrived too. All were safe and sound. The children could no longer hold back their emotions. They hugged each other, laughing and crying. All children, including Tom, finally understood the knowledge they learned in class and the seemingly boring practices had all turned into the power to protect their lives when danger struck. 【导语】本文以一次突发地震为线索展开，讲述了Mrs.Brown在课堂上教授的地震安全知识与演练，在真正的地震来临时发挥了关键作用，帮助学生们沉着应对、安全撤离，也让起初觉得课程无聊的Tom明白了学习这些知识的重要性。 【详解】 1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘还记得我们学过的知识吗？’Mrs.Brown努力让学生们冷静下来。”可知，第一段可描写Mrs.Brown在地震突发时保持冷静，大声喊出课堂上学过的避震指令，并迅速打开教室门，学生们在她的引导下从恐慌中安定下来，躲在课桌下等待。 ②由第二段首句内容“震动一停止，Mrs.Brown就意识到这是撤离的最佳时机。”可知，第二段可描写Mrs.Brown带领学生们按照演练的方式有序撤离，最终全班安全到达操场，学生们也终于理解了平日所学的安全知识和看似无聊的演练的意义。 2. 续写线索：地震突发—— 老师冷静指挥—— 学生避震—— 停止摇晃—— 有序撤离—— 安全抵达—— 领悟意义 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①大喊：shout/ scream ②躲藏：hide/ shelter ③发出信号：signal/ gesture 情绪类 ①恐慌的：panicked/ terrified ②枯燥的：boring/ dull 【点睛】 【高分句型1】Inspired by her calmness, the panicked students gradually followed her words.(运用了过去分词Inspired作原因状语) 【高分句型2】They hugged each other, laughing and crying.(运用了现在分词laughing and crying作伴随状语) ( 14 / 21 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。What do you think would be more dangerous?

Listen to the next question. Thanks for coming to this art gallery opening. As you can see, all the art hair has been painted and created to represent and celebrate local natural beauty. We come from such a beautiful place, so IT is very important to realize how at risk IT is. I'm not saying this to scare anyone, but to remind us how much we love our planet and how important IT is to protect what we love. Here you'll see images of hills on fire, powerful typhoons and rising floods within our coastal city. The biggest danger is sea level rise. Many local artists have painted our streets and train stations underwater to show how real these risks are. Before we open the room to guests, I want to share the origin of this show. The initial idea was not fundraising or even climate messaging. We simply wanted to expand art classes in our community centers. That modest school grew into this exhibition as students, teachers and neighbors offered their talent, stories and support because of every one of you. More workshops will launch next month. To thank you for helping us reach this moment, i'd like to invite several of our lead supporters to say a few words about the student program. Thanks for coming to this art gallery opening. As you can see, all the art here has been painted and created to represent and celebrate local natural beauty. We come from such a beautiful place, so IT is very important to realize how at risk IT is. I'm not saying this to scare anyone, but to remind us how much we love our planet and how important IT is to protect what we love. Here you'll see images of hills on fire, powerful typhoons and rising floods within our coastal city. The biggest danger is sea level rise. Many local artists have painted our streets and train stations underwater to show how real these risks are. Before we open the room to guests, I want to share the origin of this show. The initial idea was not fundraising or even climate messaging. We simply wanted to expand art classes in our community centers. That modest goal grew into this exhibition as students, teachers and neighbors offered their talent, stories and support because of every one of you. More workshops will launch next month to thank you for helping us reach this moment, i'd like to invite several of our lead supporters to say a few words about the student program. 听力部分到此结束。
