New Zealand, a land of dramatic landscapes and cultural richness, offers unforgettable experiences. Here are three iconic destinations that capture its essence.
Queenstown: The Adventure Capital
Situated by Lake Wakatipu and surrounded by the Southern Alps, Queenstown is a paradise for thrill-seekers. Known as the birthplace of bungee jumping, it offers abundant activities like jet boating, skiing, and skydiving. In autumn, golden leaves contrast with turquoise waters, creating picturesque views. The town’s vibrant nightlife and many delightful restaurants add to its charm, making it a year-round hotspot.
Mount Cook National Park: The Realm of Peaks
Home to New Zealand’s highest mountain (3,724 meters), this park on the South Island is a hiker’s dream. The Hooker Valley Track offers comprehensive views of glaciers, alpine lakes, and Aoraki’s snow-capped summit. At night, the Aoraki Mackenzie Dark Sky Reserve reveals crystal-clear stars, recognized as one of the best stargazing spots globally.
Waitomo Glowworm(萤火虫)Caves: A Subterranean Marvel
On the North Island, the Waitomo Caves showcase nature’s magic. Thousands of glowworms illuminate the caverns like a starry sky. Visitors sit silently on boats through the dark waterways, fascinated by the bioluminescent display. These caves, formed over millions of years, also feature limestone formations and ancient fossils(化石), combining geology with wonder.
Each destination reflects New Zealand’s diversity—thrill, peace, and celestial beauty. Where will your journey begin?
1. Which of the following provides various activities for thrill lovers?
A. Waitomo Glowworm Caves. B. New Zealand’s highest mountain.
C. Mount Cook National Park. D. Queenstown.

The number of weather-related disasters has increased by five times over the past 50 years, the latest report by the World Meteorological (气象) Organization (WMO) said on September. However, thanks to improved early warning systems and disaster management, the number of death from these hazards (危险) has been almost three times less.
According to the WMO, from 1970 to 2019, weather, climate and water hazards accounted for 50 percent of all disasters. Among the top 10 hazards that led to the largest loss of human life during this period were droughts, storms, floods and extreme temperatures. However, deaths fell from over 50, 000 in the 1970s to less than 20, 000 in the 2010s.
“Weather, climate and water extremes are increasing and will become more frequent and severe in many parts of the world as a result of climate change,” says WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas.
“That means more heat waves, drought and forest fires such as those we have observed recently in Europe and North America. We have more water vapor in the atmosphere, which is worsening extreme rainfall and deadly flooding. The warming of the oceans has affected the frequency and area of existence of the most intense tropical storms.”
“Economic losses are increasing as exposure increases. But behind the statistics lies a message of hope. Improved multi-hazard early warning systems have led to a significant reduction in deaths. Quite simply, we are better than ever before at saving lives,” Taalas said.
4. What do we know from the first paragraph?
A. Disasters connected with weather have gone up.
B. The number of weather-related disasters has decreased.
C. The number of deaths from hazards has been increasing.
D. Early warning systems have made disasters decline much.
5. What will happen according to Petteri Taalas?
A. There will be more extreme weather.
B. Extreme rainfall will no longer exist.
C. Water vapor in the atmosphere will go down.
D. Humans will defeat extreme weather in the end.
6. What is hopeful behind the bad news?
A. Improved warning systems will save economic losses.
B. Economic losses are going down as exposure increases.
C. More lives will be saved thanks to early warning systems.
D. Improved early warning systems will control extreme weather
7. Where may the text be taken from?
A. A novel. B. A brochure. C. A magazine. D. A guideline.
C
Since the mid-1990s, tourists have paid storm-chasers to take them to places in the American Great Plains where they expect to see tornadoes (龙卷风), whose winds may top 250 miles an hour and can clear a pathway a mile wide and 50 miles long. Why, a reasonable follow-up question might go, would anyone want to get so close to something so disruptive? These tourists, a study found, characterized their relationship to severe weather as a “passion”, describing their feelings about tornadoes using words like “enjoyment”, “fascination” and “love”. But the main motivator seemed to be simple: Twisters are cool.
America has many more tornadoes than any other country, and its people have long regarded twisters with a mix of fear, awe and thrilled pleasure. Fast-moving and dramatic, tornadoes have been irresistible parts for popular entertainment. One needn’t be an extreme-weather enthusiast, however, to take a brief and far-less dangerous tour: of culture tornadoes have inspired and of the transformation of American society’s feelings about these storms from fear to excitement.
European colonists (殖民者) in the future United States were fascinated - and sometimes horrified - by their new land’s weather. In the Early Republic, some people began to write about tornadoes in terms of awe, and to produce art that explored the phenomenon’s natural beauty. Since the 1930s, American tornadoes have been less deadly: the country has much better early-warning systems, fewer people live in rural areas and tornado activity has largely shifted from the southeast to the thinly-populated Great Plains.
Storm-chasing-a scientific, thrill-seeking activity that most Americans found out about via the 1996 film Twister, is still incomprehensible to many who don’t practice it. “I find it difficult to explain to someone who hasn’t chased what forces us to seek pleasure from risk,” wrote Jennifer Henderson, a crazy storm-chaser, characterizing her feelings while chasing as “a sense of exposure and revelation (揭露) tightly coupled”.
8. What does the underlined word “disruptive” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Amazing. B. Ruinous. C. Essential. D. Complicated.
9. What do we learn about tornadoes in America?
A. They are small high-speed weather events.
B. They are less common in American history.
C. They have aroused interest in weather tours.
D. They are less dangerous than normally supposed.
10. Why did tornadoes become less harmful in America?
A. The population of America declined dramatically.
B. The tornadoes didn’t exist in the southeastern area.
C. The natural disaster warning got improved.
D. The environment was damaged by colonists.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. The Thrill of Storm Chasing B. The Tour of Watching Tornadoes
C The Formation of Tornadoes D. A Unique Phenomenon in Nature
D
At first sight, Easthope doesn’t seem much like a Cassandra (希腊神话人物). She smiles a lot. Her manner is kind and motherly; pushed to name her profession, you might guess at nurse or teacher. But look closer.
Easthope is an emergency planner whose job is to support the survivors of major disasters, in which capacity she acted following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the fire at Grenfell Tower. For two decades, the public knew nothing about this vital work, which went on behind the scenes, though she was hugely admired in what we might call professional disaster circles: a voice of calm and a fountain of wisdom. But in 2023, she published a best-selling book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did.
“At literary festivals, most authors get questions about their writing process,” Easthope says. “But I wouldn’t get those. What people wanted from me was to know how I lived with the knowledge that I have. Wasn’t I afraid? How did I handle it? I would tell them that I didn’t live afraid, and I would give them basic advice. But this wasn’t enough.” In the end, she felt she had no choice but to write a second book, one in which she would try to cover all that she has learned for the benefit of each individual.
While her publisher describes Come What May as a road map for resilience (韧性), the word is one Easthope dislikes. Ready, she suggests, is a better one. Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter. She encourages people to remember, not to forget, what happened during disasters, because such events leave a long-lasting effect.
12. What might a Cassandra be like according to paragraph 1?
A. Friendly and energetic. B. Competent and cautious.
C. Cheerful and easy-going. D. Serious and unapproachable.
13. What led to increased public awareness of Easthope’s work in 2023?
A. The publication of a best seller.
B. Her involvement in 2004 tsunami relief.
C. The growth of professional disaster circles.
D. Her sudden rise to fame through media.
14. Why are readers’ questions cited in paragraph 3?
A. To reveal Easthope’s personal fears.
B. To explain Easthope’s writing process.
C. To showcase Easthope’s writing motivation.
D. To present public doubts about Easthope’s work.
15. What does Easthope agree on handling disasters?
A. Forgetting aids recovery.
B. Resilience matters most.
C. Positive thinking takes the lead.
D. Minor sufferings deserve attention.

That’s the nature’s way of telling you, “A tsunami is heading your way real soon.”
____18____ Cats, dogs and other animals are known to get anxious and run away moments before an earthquake strikes. These animals are able to sense the preliminary waves that signal an earthquake ahead of the more destructive waves. Humans can’t detect the first set of waves. ____19____

The number of weather-related disasters has increased by five times over the past 50 years, the latest report by the World Meteorological (气象) Organization (WMO) said on September. However, thanks to improved early warning systems and disaster management, the number of death from these hazards (危险) has been almost three times less.
According to the WMO, from 1970 to 2019, weather, climate and water hazards accounted for 50 percent of all disasters. Among the top 10 hazards that led to the largest loss of human life during this period were droughts, storms, floods and extreme temperatures. However, deaths fell from over 50, 000 in the 1970s to less than 20, 000 in the 2010s.
“Weather, climate and water extremes are increasing and will become more frequent and severe in many parts of the world as a result of climate change,” says WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas.
“That means more heat waves, drought and forest fires such as those we have observed recently in Europe and North America. We have more water vapor in the atmosphere, which is worsening extreme rainfall and deadly flooding. The warming of the oceans has affected the frequency and area of existence of the most intense tropical storms.”
“Economic losses are increasing as exposure increases. But behind the statistics lies a message of hope. Improved multi-hazard early warning systems have led to a significant reduction in deaths. Quite simply, we are better than ever before at saving lives,” Taalas said.
4. What do we know from the first paragraph?
A. Disasters connected with weather have gone up.
B. The number of weather-related disasters has decreased.
C. The number of deaths from hazards has been increasing.
D. Early warning systems have made disasters decline much.
5. What will happen according to Petteri Taalas?
A. There will be more extreme weather.
B. Extreme rainfall will no longer exist.
C. Water vapor in the atmosphere will go down.
D. Humans will defeat extreme weather in the end.
6. What is hopeful behind the bad news?
A. Improved warning systems will save economic losses.
B. Economic losses are going down as exposure increases.
C. More lives will be saved thanks to early warning systems.
D. Improved early warning systems will control extreme weather
7. Where may the text be taken from?
A. A novel. B. A brochure. C. A magazine. D. A guideline.
【答案】4 A 5. A 6. C 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲了极端天气和与此相关的灾难会越来越多,但是人类可以通过早期预警系统拯救更多的生命。

【5题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段Petteri Taalas说的话“Weather, climate and water extremes are increasing and will become more frequent and severe in many parts of the world as a result of climate change,(由于气候变化,天气、气候和水的极端事件正在增加,并将在世界许多地区变得更加频繁和严重)”可知,将会有更多的极端天气。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。由最后一段“But behind the statistics lies a message of hope. Improved multi-hazard early warning systems have led to a significant reduction in deaths. (但在统计数据背后隐藏着希望的信息。改进的多灾种早期预警系统使得死亡人数显著减少)”可知,预警系统会拯救更多生命。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段“says WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas. (WMO 秘书长Petteri Taalas说)”和第五段结尾“Taalas said.(Taalas说)”可知,文章引用了世界气象组织官员的话,所以最可能出自电视或广播的专题节目,magazine有“(电视、广播)专题节目”的意思。故选C项。
C
Since the mid-1990s, tourists have paid storm-chasers to take them to places in the American Great Plains where they expect to see tornadoes (龙卷风), whose winds may top 250 miles an hour and can clear a pathway a mile wide and 50 miles long. Why, a reasonable follow-up question might go, would anyone want to get so close to something so disruptive? These tourists, a study found, characterized their relationship to severe weather as a “passion”, describing their feelings about tornadoes using words like “enjoyment”, “fascination” and “love”. But the main motivator seemed to be simple: Twisters are cool.
America has many more tornadoes than any other country, and its people have long regarded twisters with a mix of fear, awe and thrilled pleasure. Fast-moving and dramatic, tornadoes have been irresistible parts for popular entertainment. One needn’t be an extreme-weather enthusiast, however, to take a brief and far-less dangerous tour: of culture tornadoes have inspired and of the transformation of American society’s feelings about these storms from fear to excitement.
European colonists (殖民者) in the future United States were fascinated - and sometimes horrified - by their new land’s weather. In the Early Republic, some people began to write about tornadoes in terms of awe, and to produce art that explored the phenomenon’s natural beauty. Since the 1930s, American tornadoes have been less deadly: the country has much better early-warning systems, fewer people live in rural areas and tornado activity has largely shifted from the southeast to the thinly-populated Great Plains.
Storm-chasing-a scientific, thrill-seeking activity that most Americans found out about via the 1996 film Twister, is still incomprehensible to many who don’t practice it. “I find it difficult to explain to someone who hasn’t chased what forces us to seek pleasure from risk,” wrote Jennifer Henderson, a crazy storm-chaser, characterizing her feelings while chasing as “a sense of exposure and revelation (揭露) tightly coupled”.
8. What does the underlined word “disruptive” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Amazing. B. Ruinous. C. Essential. D. Complicated.
9. What do we learn about tornadoes in America?
A. They are small high-speed weather events.
B. They are less common in American history.
C. They have aroused interest in weather tours.
D. They are less dangerous than normally supposed.
10. Why did tornadoes become less harmful in America?
A. The population of America declined dramatically.
B. The tornadoes didn’t exist in the southeastern area.
C. The natural disaster warning got improved.
D. The environment was damaged by colonists.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. The Thrill of Storm Chasing B. The Tour of Watching Tornadoes
C. The Formation of Tornadoes D. A Unique Phenomenon in Nature
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了在美国受欢迎的一项娱乐项目——追逐龙卷风。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“Since the mid-1990s, tourists have paid storm-chasers to take them to places in the American Great Plains where they expect to see tornadoes. Why, a reasonable follow-up question might go, would anyone want to get so close to something so disruptive? (自20世纪90年代中期以来,游客们花钱请风暴追逐者带他们去美国大平原上他们预计会看到龙卷风的地方。为什么,一个合理的后续问题可能会出现,会有人想如此接近如此disruptive的东西吗?)”以及下文“severe weather”(恶劣天气) 可知,龙卷风是有破坏性的,故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“America has many more tornadoes than any other country, and its people have long regarded twisters with a mix of fear, awe and thrilled pleasure. Fast-moving and dramatic, tornadoes have been irresistible parts for popular entertainment. (美国的龙卷风比任何其他国家都多,长期以来,美国人民一直以恐惧、敬畏和激动的喜悦来看待龙卷风。快速移动和戏剧性的龙卷风已经成为大众娱乐无法抗拒的部分)”可知,美国的龙卷风引起了人们对美国天气旅游的兴趣。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Since the 1930s, American tornadoes have been less deadly: the country has much better early-warning systems, fewer people live in rural areas and tornado activity has largely shifted from the southeast to the thinly-populated Great Plains. (自20世纪30年代以来,美国龙卷风的致命性一直在下降:该国有更好的预警系统,农村地区的人口减少,龙卷风活动基本上从东南部转移到了人口稀少的大平原)”可知,在美国,龙卷风的危害有所减少是因为美国在自然灾害预警方面取得了更大进展。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Since the mid-1990s, tourists have paid storm-chasers to take them to places in the American Great Plains where they expect to see tornadoes (自20世纪90年代中期以来,游客们花钱请龙卷风追逐者带他们去美国大平原上他们预计会看到龙卷风的地方)”以及“These tourists, a study found, characterized their relationship to severe weather as a “passion”, describing their feelings about tornadoes using words like “enjoyment”, “fascination” and “love”. (一项研究发现,这些游客将他们与恶劣天气的关系描述为“激情”,用“享受”、“着迷”和“爱”等词描述他们对龙卷风的感受。)”可知,本文主要描述了追逐龙卷风的美国人,并分析了游客们为什么会追求这种充满刺激的项目。A项“The Thrill of Storm Chasing(追逐龙卷风的刺激)”最能概括本文主旨,适合作为文章标题。故选A。
D
At first sight, Easthope doesn’t seem much like a Cassandra (希腊神话人物). She smiles a lot. Her manner is kind and motherly; pushed to name her profession, you might guess at nurse or teacher. But look closer.
Easthope is an emergency planner whose job is to support the survivors of major disasters, in which capacity she acted following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the fire at Grenfell Tower. For two decades, the public knew nothing about this vital work, which went on behind the scenes, though she was hugely admired in what we might call professional disaster circles: a voice of calm and a fountain of wisdom. But in 2023, she published a best-selling book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did.
“At literary festivals, most authors get questions about their writing process,” Easthope says. “But I wouldn’t get those. What people wanted from me was to know how I lived with the knowledge that I have. Wasn’t I afraid? How did I handle it? I would tell them that I didn’t live afraid, and I would give them basic advice. But this wasn’t enough.” In the end, she felt she had no choice but to write a second book, one in which she would try to cover all that she has learned for the benefit of each individual.
While her publisher describes Come What May as a road map for resilience (韧性), the word is one Easthope dislikes. Ready, she suggests, is a better one. Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter. She encourages people to remember, not to forget, what happened during disasters, because such events leave a long-lasting effect.
12. What might a Cassandra be like according to paragraph 1?
A. Friendly and energetic. B. Competent and cautious.
C. Cheerful and easy-going. D. Serious and unapproachable.
13. What led to increased public awareness of Easthope’s work in 2023?
A. The publication of a best seller.
B Her involvement in 2004 tsunami relief.
C. The growth of professional disaster circles.
D. Her sudden rise to fame through media.
14. Why are readers’ questions cited in paragraph 3?
A. To reveal Easthope’s personal fears.
B. To explain Easthope’s writing process.
C. To showcase Easthope’s writing motivation.
D. To present public doubts about Easthope’s work.
15. What does Easthope agree on handling disasters?
A. Forgetting aids recovery.
B. Resilience matters most.
C Positive thinking takes the lead.
D. Minor sufferings deserve attention.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了紧急事务规划师露西·伊斯特霍普及其工作,描述了她如何从幕后走向公众视野,通过写书分享应对灾难的知识,并阐述了她对灾后恢复及关注微小痛苦的见解。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“At first sight, Easthope doesn’t seem much like a Cassandra (希腊神话人物). She smiles a lot. Her manner is kind and motherly; pushed to name her profession, you might guess at nurse or teacher. But look closer.(乍一看,伊斯特霍普似乎不太像一位卡珊德拉(希腊神话人物)。她经常微笑。她的举止和蔼,像母亲一样;要你猜她的职业,你可能会猜是护士或老师。但是再仔细看)” 这里提到伊斯特霍普给人的表面印象是“微笑很多”、“和蔼可亲”,但这与“卡珊德拉”给人的感觉不同,因此暗示“卡珊德拉”的形象可能与伊斯特霍普给人的亲切、随和的第一印象相反,即可能比较“严肃、不易接近”。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“But in 2023, she published a best-selling book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did.(但在2023年,她出版了一本关于她职业生涯的畅销书《尘埃落定》,情况就此改变。人们开始对她的工作非常感兴趣)”可知,2023年公众对她工作的认知度提升,直接原因是一本畅销书的出版。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段““At literary festivals, most authors get questions about their writing process,” Easthope says. “But I wouldn’t get those. What people wanted from me was to know how I lived with the knowledge that I have. Wasn’t I afraid? How did I handle it? I would tell them that I didn’t live afraid, and I would give them basic advice. But this wasn’t enough.” In the end, she felt she had no choice but to write a second book, one in which she would try to cover all that she has learned for the benefit of each individual.(“在文学节上,大多数作者会被问到关于写作过程的问题,”伊斯特霍普说,“但我不会被问这些。人们想从我这里知道的是,我如何带着我所掌握的知识生活。我不害怕吗?我是如何应对的?我会告诉他们我并非活在恐惧中,并给他们一些基本的建议。但这还不够。”最终,她感到别无选择,只能再写一本书,一本试图总结她所学到的一切、以惠及每个人的书)”可推知, 引用读者的提问,是为了说明公众的关注点与常规作者不同,他们迫切想了解伊斯特霍普如何处理她所知的灾难知识,这种强烈的需求最终促使她产生了写作第二本书的动机。故选C项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter.(伊斯特霍普还提醒人们,小事也很重要,比如生病时脱发,或有人在去世后暴饮暴食)”可知,伊斯特霍普认为,灾难中的微小痛苦或细节也值得关注。故选D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。
Severe weather systems like tsunamis, hurricanes and earthquakes throw a threat to anyone in their path. ____16____ Scientists have followed behavioral patterns in storm systems, animals, insects and other natural phenomena to uncover helpful signals to keep you safe.
____17____ Tsunamis are long, powerful waves created by subsea earth movements and can rise to 100 feet tall. When there’ s a powerful enough earthquake in the ocean, water quickly retracts(缩回) to help feed the wave. If you’re enjoying a day at the beach and notice the ocean tides start to roll away fast, head to higher ground immediately. That’s the nature’s way of telling you, “A tsunami is heading your way real soon.”
____18____ Cats, dogs and other animals are known to get anxious and run away moments before an earthquake strikes. These animals are able to sense the preliminary waves that signal an earthquake ahead of the more destructive waves. Humans can’t detect the first set of waves. ____19____
An increased ocean swell means a hurricane is on its way. Roughly three days before a hurricane makes landfall, the ocean swell increases around six feet in height. The swell creates giant ocean waves that crash against the shore about every nine seconds. ____20____
A. Head to higher ground if the ocean level drops.
B. But what if there were ways to avoid danger?
C. This is one of the earliest signs of an approaching hurricane.
D. If animals start panicking, you might experience an earthquake.
E. Advance planning and quick response are the keys to avoiding danger.
F. However, your pets could give enough time to run outside where it’s safer.
G. You can take steps to stay safe and comfortable while facing various disasters.
【答案】16. B 17. A 18. D 19. F 20. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。详细介绍了通过动物、昆虫和其他自然现象的行为模式,以发现有助于保护你安全的信号。
【16题详解】
根据前文“Severe weather systems like tsunamis, hurricanes and earthquakes throw a threat to anyone in their path. (像海啸、飓风和地震这样的恶劣天气系统会对途经的任何人构成威胁)”以及后文“Scientists have followed behavioral patterns in storm systems, animals, insects and other natural phenomena to uncover helpful signals to keep you safe.(科学家们一直在追踪风暴系统、动物、昆虫和其他自然现象的行为模式,以发现有助于保护你安全的信号)”可知,自然灾害会对人构成威胁,但科学家一直在研究一发现保护人们安全的信号。由此推知,空处内容承上启下,指出有方法避开威胁。所以B项“But what if there were ways to avoid danger?(但如果有办法避免危险呢?)”符合语境。故选B项。
【17题详解】
空处为段首句,根据本段中“If you’ re enjoying a day at the beach and notice the ocean tides start to roll away fast, head to higher ground immediately.(如果你在海滩享受一天的时光,并注意到海潮开始快速退去,那么立即前往地势较高的地方)”可知,本段主要怎样规避海啸,所以A项“Head to higher ground if the ocean level drops.(如果海平面下降,就到更高的地方去)”符合本段主旨。故选A项。
【18题详解】
空处为段首句,根据本段中“These animals are able to sense the preliminary waves that signal an earthquake ahead of the more destructive waves.(这些动物能够在破坏性更强的地震波到来之前感知到预示地震的初步地震波)”,可知本段主要讲通过动物来判断地震,所以D项“If animals start panicking, you might experience an earthquake.(如果动物开始恐慌,你可能会经历地震)”符合本段主旨。故选D项。
【19题详解】
本段主要讲通过动物来判断地震,空处位于段末应承接上文。根据前句“Humans can’t detect the first set of waves. (人类无法探测到第一波)”可知,人不行但是动物可以,所以F项“However, your pets could give enough time to run outside where it’s safer.(然而,你的宠物可以给足够的时间跑到外面更安全的地方)”符合语境。故选F项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“An increased ocean swell means a hurricane is on its way.(海浪的增加意味着飓风即将来临)”可知,本段主要讲怎样判断飓风来临,再根据“The swell creates giant ocean waves that crash against the shore about every nine seconds.(海浪会产生巨大的海浪,每9秒就会撞击海岸)”可知,这是飓风的征兆,所以C项“This is one of the earliest signs of an approaching hurricane.(这是飓风即将来临的最早迹象之一)”符合语境。故选C项。

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Students’ Union
【答案】Dear fellow students,
Nature is the cradle of human life, but nowadays, our natural environment is facing severe challenges. The air we breathe is often polluted by industrial emissions, many rivers are choked with waste, and excessive deforestation is destroying wildlife habitats, pushing many species to the brink of extinction.
To reverse this situation, we can take simple but effective daily actions. First, choose low-carbon commuting methods — walking, cycling or taking public transportation instead of private cars can significantly reduce carbon emissions. Second, develop the habit of recycling: separate waste, reuse water bottles and paper, and avoid single-use plastic products to minimize environmental burden.
Dear friends, protecting nature is everyone’s responsibility. Let’s start now, from small things around us, and work together to build a greener home for all living beings!
