The reservoirs (水库) start drying up, then in a place like the West of the US, we get wildfires.” In recent years, wildfires have wreaked havoc across countries including the US and Australia. These fires destroy homes and businesses, claim lives and also negatively impact the environment. As climate change worsens, global temperatures increase and so does the risk of wildfires. A recent report from the United Nations Environment Programme and GRID-Arendal, a partner organization in Norway, reveals that wildfires are becoming more frequent and severe. This is harmful to people around the globe. According to the joint UN report, it is estimated that the yearly “economic burden from wildfire for the United States is between $7.1 billion and $347.8 billion”． Another article published in Nature journal on April 19 found that wildfires have created seasonal pollution patterns in the northwestern US. Between 2002 and 2018, carbon monoxide (一氧化碳) levels increased every year for the month of August in the area. In 2019 and 2020, Australian bushfires displaced millions, filled the air with deadly clouds of smoke and killed thousands of koalas. Forest fires are common in China too. In the recent decade, the total number of forest fires in the country every year has increased to more than 2,000 cases, according to The Paper. Greater Hinggan Mountains (大兴安岭) is one of the important forestry bases in China. The National Forestry and Grassland Administration adopted mountain watchtowers, forest cameras and aerial drones (无人机) to prevent forest fires in the summer. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了野火正变得越来越频繁，危害越来越大。 4．Why does the author quote Reager's words in the second paragraph? A．To show the seriousness of the recent wildfire in the US. B．To list some environmental problems caused by wildfires. C．To explain how climate change contributes to wildfires. D．To provide possible solutions to wildfires around the globe. 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第二段“With climate change, it seems like ... a place like the West of the US, we get wildfires.”可推断，作者在第二段引用了Reager的话解释了气候变化如何导致野火。 5．What does the underlined phrase “wreaked havoc” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Created pollution. B．Been out of control. C．Caused great damage. D．Drawn much attention. 解析：选C　词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“These fires destroy homes and businesses, claim lives and also negatively impact the environment.”和常识可知，近年来，野火在包括美国和澳大利亚在内的国家造成了严重破坏。故画线短语意为“造成严重破坏”。 6．How have wildfires affected the American Northwest according to the text? A．Millions of people have been displaced. B．They have caused seasonal patterns of pollution. C．They have led to around $7.1 billion economic loss annually. D．Carbon monoxide levels have increased year on year. 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Another article published in Nature journal on April 19 found that wildfires have created seasonal pollution patterns in the northwestern US.”可知，野火对美国西北部造成了季节性的污染模式。 7．What do we know about forest fires in China? A．There has been over 2,000 cases in the last decade. B．Greater Hinggan Mountains experienced the largest one. C．They were not very common several decades ago. D．Measures have been taken to prevent them from happening. 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The National Forestry and Grassland Administration adopted mountain watchtowers, forest cameras and aerial drones to prevent forest fires in the summer.”可知，中国已经采取措施防止森林野火的发生。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 If you have been exposed to a natural disaster (for example, a tornado or hurricane), it is very important to learn ways of coping with natural disasters and their impact. Natural disasters can be considered dangerous events that have a high potential to place you at risk. 8 Unlike other traumatic (痛苦的) events, natural disasters can also result in the destruction of property and financial loss, further affecting your stress levels and disrupting (扰乱) coping efforts. Despite the effects of natural disasters, there are steps you can take to cope. 9 Over and over again, it has been found that support from others can be a major factor in helping people overcome the negative effects of a traumatic event. Given that a natural disaster can impact an entire community, your support system may be weakened by a natural disaster. Try to establish a schedule. 10 A natural disaster can greatly disrupt your regular schedule, increasing the extent to which your life feels out of control. Coming up with a daily, structured schedule can help you establish a sense of predictability (可预测性) and control. Talk about the effect of the natural disaster. 11 A natural disaster can result in strong feelings of anger, anxiety, and sadness. These emotions need to be expressed. If you hold them in, they may only grow stronger in intensity. Practice healthy coping strategies. Following a natural disaster, you will experience a number of intense negative emotions. 12 Alcohol use, excessive sleep, or seeking comfort in food may be effective short-term strategies for managing emotional distress. However, in the long-term, these strategies won't address the real issue and will only cause your distress to increase. A．Seek out and connect with social support. B．Try to limit all the other sources of stress in your life. C．For example, set regular times for meals, or waking up in the morning. D．Natural disasters can bring about high levels of stress, anxiety, and anger. E．Share your feelings with others, or find some ways to express your emotions. F．Therefore, it is very important to identify healthy ways of managing these emotions. G．Your most important task following a natural disaster is getting your life back in order. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章告诉人们如何处理突如其来的自然灾害所带来的不适感。 8．解析：选D　根据下文可知，自然灾害不但会造成财产损失，而且还会造成心理上的压力。故D项“自然灾害会带来高度的压力、焦虑和愤怒”衔接下文，符合语境。 9．解析：选A　空处是段落小标题。根据本段内容可知，要在其他人那里寻求帮助和支持。故A项“寻找并联系社会支持”符合语境。 10．解析：选C　根据上文“Try to establish a schedule.”可知，要制订一个时间表，所以此处应具体解释这个做法。故C项“例如，固定吃饭时间，或者早上起床时间”举例说明了要建立时间表，符合语境。 11．解析：选E　根据上文“Talk about the effect of the natural disaster.”可知，通过和其他人交流的方式来释放自己压抑的情感。下文介绍了压抑情感的坏处。故E项“与他人分享你的感受，或者找到一些方式来表达你的情绪”承上启下，符合语境。 12．解析：选F　上文提到，经历过自然灾害后，你会有一系列强烈的消极情感体验，故F项“因此，找到管理这些情绪的健康方式是非常重要的”承接上文，符合语境。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
