It was my first time that I had seen such a 　1　 storm.  　　It was a sunny day in July, and I was at home watching TV. The window was open 　2　 the weather was so hot. Suddenly, I felt a strong wind from outside. I looked out of the window and saw a black sky and trees 　3　 over because of the strong wind. I tried to 　4　 the window, but the wind made me fall down. I was afraid that the glass might break. I stood up and tried to close the window again. 　5　, I made it.  一 三 题序 二 4 　　Then I looked outside. I found that the big tree in front of my house was going to fall to the ground and its 　6　 had broken off. There was frequent(频繁的) thunder and lightning. I started to 　7　 all the appliances as quickly as possible.  　　After a while, the wind stopped, but it began to hail(下冰雹). After about ten minutes, everything stopped, and the sun came out again. How 　8　 the weather was! A few minutes later, the phone began to ring. It was my friend. We asked each other how it was and how we felt after the storm.  一 三 题序 二 5 　　In the streets, many trees died because of the 　9　. For a few days, people helped clean parks and gardens. Some people’s cars were damaged by trees’ falling branches on them. The 　10　 tells me that in the face of natural disasters, human beings are insignificant(微不足道的).

For most of human history, there were fewer than 1 billion people on the earth. In 1800, there were nearly 1 billion people. As the Industrial Revolution(工业革命) began, rapid population growth appeared. Human population increased by over 5 billion in the next 200 years. Today, we’ve had over 8 billion people in the world. 一 三 题序 二 8 Take India for example. In 1947, at the time of independence, its population was about 350 million. However, the number doubled between 1947 and 1981. By 2000, it was over one billion. According to the UN, India has over 1.4 billion people in 2023 and has surpassed(超过) China to become the country with the largest population in the world. 一 三 题序 二 9 You may wonder what has caused the rapid growth rate(比率) for humans in the past 200 years. The most important reason is that the death rate has been reduced because of changes in public health and sanitation(公共卫生). For example, more and more people are able to drink clean water. Also, new medical technology has helped people live longer than before. Surely, population growth can improve the development of the world. However, there are also some disadvantages. In a way, it is growing at a cost, especially to the environment. Large population will lead to heavy traffic and a lot of pollution. What’s more, it will put pressure on food and water supplies(供给). 一 三 题序 二 10 Although human population continues to grow, the rate of human population growth has fallen. This means that the population is not growing as quickly as it did in the past. According to the latest report, the human population is expected to reach 10.3 billion in 2080. 一 三 题序 二 11 ( )1.What was the human population in 2000 according to the text? A.About 5 billion.

There have been floods, droughts(干旱), big earthquakes and volcanic eruptions(火山喷发). 1.______ They have also caused a lot of damage to big cities and small towns.  　　Some travellers might be upset with officials for cancelling lots of flights. 2.______  　F　 　B　 一 三 题序 二 14 　　During natural disasters, we depend on things like dams, early warning systems, modern weather radars(雷达), and brave people who help those in need. 3._______ 　　Even though we try to control or predict natural disasters, we often get surprised when unexpected events challenge what we know.
