They happen during Hurricane Season, which is from 1st June to 30th November in the Atlantic Ocean and from 15th May to 30th November in the Pacific Ocean. There are five categories (级别)  of hurricanes, which depend on the wind speed. The categories help people know how much damage a hurricane may cause because the greater the wind speed, the more dangerous the storm. When a hurricane happens together with heavy rainfall, there can be a terrible flood. The centre of a hurricane is called the eye. While most of a hurricane has dangerously strong winds, the eye is actually a calm area in the storm. When the eye of a hurricane passes over land, people might think that it’s over, but before long there would be more wind and rain as the second part of the hurricane moves through. There is no way to stop a hurricane or make it change its way, so if you find yourself in the path of a hurricane, be sure to remember the following advice to keep safe. ·Be sure you have a radio, batteries, fresh drinking water, and enough food. ·Tell neighbours, friends, and family members your emergency (紧急情况) plans. Tell them where you’ll go if you need to leave your home. ·Stay inside during the storm. You could get seriously hurt if you go outside. 根据短文内容，判断下列句子正 (T)、误 (F)。 1．Hurricane Season is from 1st June to 30th November in the Atlantic Ocean and from 15th May to 30th December in the Pacific Ocean. 2．Five categories of hurricanes depend on the wind speed. 3．People can find a way to change the hurricane’s way. 4．According to the passage, we can follow three ways to keep safe if we find ourselves in the path of a hurricane. 5．You should stay inside rather than go outside if the hurricane comes. 【答案】1．F 2．T 3．F 4．T 5．T 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了飓风的相关知识，包括飓风季时间、飓风分级、飓风结构以及飓风来袭时的安全避险建议。 1．根据原文“Hurricane Season, which is from 1st June to 30th November in the Atlantic Ocean and from 15th May to 30th November in the Pacific Ocean”可知，太平洋飓风季是到11月30日，而非12月30日。故答案为F。 2．根据原文“There are five categories (级别) of hurricanes, which depend on the wind speed”可知，飓风的五个级别确实是根据风速划分的。故答案为T。 3．根据原文“There is no way to stop a hurricane or make it change its way”可知，没有办法改变飓风的行进路线。故答案为F。 4．根据原文列出的三条安全建议：准备物资、告知他人应急计划、待在室内，可知文中给出了三种避险方法。故答案为T。 5．根据原文“Stay inside during the storm. You could get seriously hurt if you go outside”可知，飓风来临时应待在室内而非外出。故答案为T。 七、任务型阅读 The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of September 2, 1666. In four days, it destroyed more than half of the old city, where most of the houses were wooden. One hundred thousand people became homeless, but only a few lost their lives. The fire began in a baker’s house. Then a strong wind blew the fire into a small hotel next door. Quickly, it spread into Thames Street. But that was just the beginning. By eight o’clock, three hundred houses were on fire. The third day was the worst day. The fire destroyed many famous buildings. Many people threw their things and themselves into the Thames River. However, some people still stayed in their houses until the last moment because they didn’t want to lose their property (财产). And many birds fell out of the air because of the heat. The fire stopped when the King ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the fire. With nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out. 1．When did the Great Fire of London start? _____________________________________________ 2．Did the fire destroy many famous buildings? _____________________________________________ 3．Why did many birds fall out of the air? _____________________________________________ 4．What was the most important factor (因素) in stopping the Great Fire of London? _____________________________________________ 5．If you were a Londoner during the Great Fire, what would you do to protect yourself and your property? _____________________________________________ 【答案】1．In the very early hours of September 2, 2. 3．Yes, it did. 4．Because of the heat from the fire. 5．The King ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the fire. 6．I would first try to take my most important and valuable property and quickly move to a safe place far away from the area.
