Unit4 Natural Disasters Listening and Speaking 同步练习- 2025-2026学年高中英语人教版必修第一册

Listening and Speaking Ⅰ.阅读理解 A It happens in every disaster:For those in need,people often donate things that turn out to be more of a trouble. Juanita Rilling remembers it happened in 1988 when she was a disaster expert trying to help people suffering from a hurricane(飓风) in Honduras.“One morning I received a call from one of our logistic operators(物流运营商),and he explained to me that there was a plane carrying medical supplies that needed to land,” says Rilling.“But the ground was full,with lots of donations that no one had required.The plane—full of needed supplies—had to find someplace else to go.And it ended up stopping everyone’s plans by about 48 hours,which is important time in a disaster.” Rilling now runs the Center for International Disaster Information,which is trying to make sure things like that don’t happen again.So when Superstorm Sandy hit,Rilling’s group started a project to encourage money donation.“Even a small donation can make a big difference and can quickly become exactly what people affected by a disaster need most,” Rilling says.But despite this,donors do that over and over.About 60% of the things donated after a disaster couldn’t be used.Often it’s old clothing or food. Meghan Hara,who deals with kind donations for the American Red Cross,says she knows that some people are careful with giving money.And she doesn’t think that the need to give something concrete should be completely stopped. “Part of what people are doing is that they’re helping,and they’re trying to help.What we need to work out is how to effectively deal with that,” Hara says. 1.What caused needed supplies to be put off after the hurricane in 1988? A.Workers on the plane. B.A weather report. C.Useless donations on the ground. D.The call from the operator. 2.What did Rilling’s group suggest donating when Superstorm Sandy hit? A.Clothing. B.Money. C.Medicine. D.Food. 3.What is Meghan Hara’s attitude towards donating concrete things? A.Supportive. B.Doubtful. C.Uncaring. D.Worried. 4.What might the author continue talking about? A.Studies on natural disasters. B.The benefits of helping others. C.Tips on choosing useful donations. D.The ways of managing people’s donations. B On August 14,2021,Haiti was hit by a 7.2-magnitude(级数) earthquake.The quake destroyed thousands of buildings,injured over 5,700 people,and left at least 1,297 others dead.Haiti has declared a state of emergency(紧急情况). The earthquake struck near the town of Petit Trou de Nippes,in the western part of the country.That’s roughly 125 kilometers west of the capital,Port-au-Prince.The earthquake did serious damage in two nearby cities,Les Cayes and Jeremie,with Les Cayes hit the hardest.Homes,schools,churches,and offices were seriously damaged. The number of injured people was so high that local hospitals have been unable to keep up.A number of medical workers at the general hospital in Les Cayes were themselves trapped in a building.Across the area,people were searching through the rubble(废墟) for survivors.But the earthquake also caused landslides(塌方),making the job even more difficult.There have been many aftershocks—smaller quakes which follow the main earthquake.With many buildings damaged by the earthquake,it’s not certain whether the buildings still standing in the area are safe.Many people are choosing to sleep outside rather than taking the risk of sleeping in a building.  Haiti has still not fully returned to normal from a 7.0-magnitude earthquake which destroyed much of Port-au-Prince and killed over 200,000 people in 2010.The country suffered again in 2016,when it was pounded(袭击) by Hurricane Matthew,which caused huge damage in Haiti.Storm Grace is expected to reach Haiti on Monday,bringing heavy rainfall with it. Several countries have offered to help Haiti.The government says the country won’t officially ask for outside help until it is clear how much damage there is in all.But Haiti is not a rich country,and the government may not have the money for major efforts to rebuild the damaged areas. 5.Which was worst affected by the 2021 earthquake? A.Port-au-Prince. B.Jeremie. C.Les Cayes. D.Petit Trou de Nippes. 6.What does the underlined part “the job” in paragraph 3 mean? A.Dealing with landslides. B.Searching for survivors. C.Observing aftershocks. D.Doing building safety-checks. 7.What do we know about Haiti? A.It has begun to rebuild after the 2021 earthquake. B.It has just recovered from the 2010 earthquake. C.It suffered from two kinds of hurricanes in 2016. D.It has experienced serious disasters in recent years. 8.What is Haiti’s attitude to seeking foreign aid? A.Doubtful. B.Favored. C.Cautious. D.Disapproving. Ⅱ.七选五 How to Survive a Tsunami on the Beach The word tsunami is from Japanese.It describes a series of waves that can reach over 100 feet tall and travel at speeds up to 600 miles per hour across the sea.A single wave in a tsunami can be quite long,as much as 60 miles,causing great damage.　1　  Your best chance for surviving a tsunami on a beach is to pay attention to the warning signs,stay away from the shore after an earthquake,and get to highlands.Then wait for information from disaster response groups. 　2　 With your family,discuss how you’ll reach the evacuation area(紧急疏散区) as soon as possible.  The sooner you know a tsunami is coming the better your chance of making it to higher ground.　3　  ·Head for high ground,and get at least 100 feet above sea level. ·　4　  ·Don’t swim against the current. As you learn how to survive a tsunami,remember the first wave in a series of waves is the smallest and weakest.　5　 If you’re in a boat at the beach,head out into the ocean.You’ll stand a better chance of survival away from the shoreline.  A.That’s why it’s crucial to know how to survive a tsunami. B.Grab something like a tree or something that floats,like a raft. C.The waves following an earthquake may continue for hours or up to a day. D.That’s why it’s essential to learn the early warning signs to survive a tsunami. E.If it’s too late,and the water’s already rising,here’s what to do in a tsunami. F.Your best chance for surviving a tsunami on a beach is to pay attention to the warning signs. G.Whether you’re visiting or living in a tsunami zone,learn where the closest place is out of the tsunami’s reach.
