What should one do in an earthquake?The prime-time(黄金时间的) news gives no warning,nor is there a time of a year,like the monsoon(季风) season,when an earthquake always occurs.Unlike a tornado or hurricane,there is no known way of predicting an earthquake. Though about 500,000 earthquakes occur each year,only 100 of them cause damage!However,an earthquake can strike any time of the day or night,so it needs to be prepared for when you have the misfortune of being caught in the middle of one. If you’re indoors,stay indoors,unless you’re on the ground floor,where you can easily run outside.The best thing to do if you’re indoors is to hide under a strong piece of furniture like a bed or desk.Do not head for the stairway if you’re living on an upper storey,because stairways can collapse. If you’re driving,get out of traffic and stop on a wide and open road.Do not stop on a bridge,or in another case,under one.Stay inside your car until the shaking stops.Before you restart driving,look out for fissures(裂缝),breaks in the road,and bumps or cracks.Inside your home,be careful not to turn on the gas until you’re sure the cylinder(气罐) is safe,and there is no leak. Avoid using your telephone unless there’s an emergency.You could be occupying lines that are needed by other people.Lastly,if you’re not trapped or seriously hurt,do not expect firefighters,the army or police to help you.They may be busy rescuing people in greater need than you! 1.What does the underlined word “collapses” mean in the first paragraph? A.Breaks out. B.Falls down. C.Cuts down. D.Drops out. 2.From the second paragraph we learn that 　　　.  A.monsoons usually come at a certain time of the year B.there are no known ways to predict hurricanes C.there are warning signs before earthquakes strike D.a tornado can come at any time,and is hard to predict 3.What should you do if you are on the first floor of a building? A.Stay inside. B.Head for a stairway. C.Run outside immediately. D.Hide under a strong piece of furniture. 4.What does the passage mainly tell us about? A.How to predict earthquakes. B.What to do during an earthquake. C.The damage an earthquake can cause. D.The factors that cause an earthquake. Ⅴ.七选五 A flood can develop slowly,over time or rapidly,as in the case of flash floods which can develop in just a few minutes and without signs of rain. 　1　 This is the first thing that a person should do.It is unwise to just depend on history to decide whether your area is at risk of flooding.  Create an evacuation plan in case you have to evacuate your home.Pay attention to the safe areas you can go to.Prepare food kits for natural disasters that you can easily take with you if you have to leave your house.　2　  If there is a possibility of a flash flood,leave your home and move to higher ground at once.Do not wait for instructions to move.Evacuation may also cause a shortage in the food supply.　3　 To survive,one must depend on food storage.  While evacuating,avoid walking through moving water.Even six inches of moving water can make you fall.If you have to walk in water,walk where the water is not moving.　4　  Do not drive into flooded areas.If floodwaters rise around your car,abandon the car and move to higher ground,when water is not moving or not more than a few inches deep.　5　 If your car is trapped in rapidly moving water,stay in the car.If the water is rising inside the car,move on to the roof(顶部).  A.They don’t know where to look for shelter. B.You and the car can be swept away quickly. C.Use a stick to check the ground in front of you. D.Be aware if the area you’re at is at risk of a flood. E.There is no telling when another flood may happen. F.It would help to store food for emergency situations. G.During these conditions,hunger becomes a very real problem. Ⅵ.语法填空 When Jayden Perez learned that kids in Puerto Rico wouldn’t get 1.　　　　　　(present) at Christmas because of Hurricane Maria,he told his mother Ana Rosado that he wanted to donate his own Christmas gifts to the children in need.Moved by her son’s wish,Rosado suggested 2.　　　　　　(start) a toy drive instead.  Rosado then posted a video of Jayden 3.　　　　　 was holding a handmade cardboard(硬纸板) sign and asking others to donate toys on the Internet.“Kids lost a lot of 4.　　　　　(they) toys,and now they don’t have any,” Jayden said in the video.“So are you willing to donate one toy from 5.　　　　　 bottom of your heart?”  The video spread 6.　　　　　(rapid) in Jayden’s community and then spread nationwide.In addition to the toy drive,the Rosado family set up a GoFundMe page.They were 7.　　　　　(amaze) they raised a lot of money in a short time.They used that money 8.　　　　　(buy) even more toys for kids in Puerto Rico.  A lot of children in Puerto Rico 9.　　　　　　　　　　　　(affect) by Hurricane Maria.Jayden’s family delivered the gifts to children throughout the island on Three King’s Day,a time of gift-giving in Puerto Rico and other Latin American countries.They brought the children more gifts 10.　　　　　 they expected.“I just thought it was going to be something small,but the number was very large,” Rosado said.  Ⅶ.应用文写作 假定你是校学生会主席李华,你校将于本周五举办主题为自然灾害(natural disaster)的讲座,请你为校英语广播站写一则通知。要点包括: 1.讲座时间及安排; 2.注意事项。 注意:1.写作词数应为80左右; 2.请在相应位置作答。 Notice ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ The Students’ Union Ⅷ.读后续写 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Officer Julian and Christina parked in front of the bus station and saw that an ambulance(救护车) had arrived before them.There was a call about an old woman lying on the ground.They came to check things out. They exited their car and saw a doctor tending to the old woman,who was luckily conscious and talking. “Mrs.Logan?” Christina and Julian questioned with wide eyes.They both realized they knew the old woman. The old woman looked up and finally recognized them.“Julian!Christina!I haven’t seen you since you graduated from high school.What are you doing here?” she said breathlessly.“We were asked to come to check things after the call came through 911.Is everything alright?What are you doing in this bus station?” Christina placed her hands on the old woman’s shoulders. Years ago,Mrs.Logan was their math teacher.She lived alone in Minnesota after her husband died.“I was hoping to go to Florida to see my son Peter.I haven’t heard from him for months.There are lots of hurricanes(飓风) in Florida.I need to make sure he’s safe,” Mrs.Logan explained. Considering the doctor’s advice against Mrs.Logan travelling alone by bus especially as far as Florida,Julian softly suggested she go home and rest.However,Mrs.Logan begged for their help in a weak voice.Moved by her,Julian and Christina decided to drive her to Florida themselves to help realize her wish. Four days later,they finally reached Florida,only to find everywhere was in a mess.Obviously,a terrible hurricane had hit this area days before.They hurried to her son’s home.It was destroyed completely and Peter was nowhere to be found.Mrs.Logan broke down on Christina’s shoulder.“Don’t worry,Mrs.Logan.” Christina hugged the old woman close to her body protectively. 注意:续写词数应为80个左右。 About an hour later,they were told that Peter was in hospital,still alive.__________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ 参考答案 Ⅰ.1.lengths　2.delivered　3.waved　4.summary　5.strike Ⅱ.1.In　2.in　3.on　4.out　5.with　6.into Ⅲ.1.thinks it wrong that　2.find it easy to seek support and advice　3.was about to give up/was on the point of giving up when　4.It struck me that　5.is being repaired Ⅳ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了发生地震时应该做什么。 1.B　词句猜测题。根据下文“and all the plates and cups break into pieces”可知,此处指发生地震时,整个放陶瓷的架子倒塌了。collapses意为“倒塌”,和B项falls down(突然倒下)意思接近。 2.A　细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“...nor is there a time of a year,like the monsoon season...”可知,从第二段我们可以了解到季风通常发生在一年中特定的时间。 3.C　细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“If you’re indoors,stay indoors,unless you’re on the ground floor,where you can easily run outside.”可知,如果你在一楼,最好立刻跑到户外。 4.B　主旨大意题。根据文章第二段中“What should one do in an earthquake?”可知,文章主要讲述了发生地震时应该做什么。故选B项。 Ⅴ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在洪水来临时人们应该如何自救。 1.D　根据下文的“This is the first thing that a person should do.”可知,D项与下文连接通顺,This指代的是D项提到的“注意发生洪水的风险”。故选D项。 2.F　根据上文的“Prepare food kits for natural disasters that you can easily take with you if you have to leave your house.”可知,F项承接上文,指出了准备好应急食物包可以应对突发的自然灾害。故选F项。 3.G　根据上文的“Evacuation may also cause a shortage in the food supply.”和下文的“To survive,one must depend on food storage.”可知,G项与上文为因果关系,说明了疏散带来的食物不足会导致饥饿的发生,下文针对“饥饿”提出了储存食物的必要性。 4.C　根据上文的“Even six inches of moving water can make you fall.If you have to walk in water,walk where the water is not moving.”可知,C项承接上文,进一步指出如何在水中安全地前进。 5.B　根据上文的“Do not drive into flooded areas...a few inches deep.”和下文的“ If your car is trapped in rapidly moving water...move on to the roof.”可知,B项承接上文,说明车在进入水淹区后,如果不能及时撤离会出现连人带车被冲走的情况,下文举例说明水流很急的情况下,被困的人应该怎么办。 Ⅵ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了男孩Jayden Perez帮助受飓风影响的波多黎各岛的孩子们筹集礼物的故事。 1.presents　考查名词的复数。present在这里是“礼物”的意思,为可数名词;其前无限定词,故用它的复数形式。 2.starting　考查非谓语动词。suggest doing sth建议做某事。 3.who/that　考查定语从句。先行词是Jayden,关系词在从句中作主语,故用who或that。 4.their　考查代词。该空用they的形容词性物主代词their修饰toys。 5.the　考查冠词。from the bottom of one’s heart衷心地;由衷地。 6.rapidly　考查词性转换。该空用rapid的副词形式修饰动词spread。 7.amazed　考查词性转换。根据空前的were可知,此处应用形容词;形容人,故填amazed。 8.to buy　考查非谓语动词。该空用不定式表目的。 9.were affected　考查一般现在时的被动语态。该句描述发生在过去的事,用一般过去时;affect和children之间是动宾关系,故用被动语态。 10.than　考查比较级。根据空前的more可知,该空填than。 Ⅶ.Notice To let students know more about natural disasters,our school will hold a lecture this Friday.The lecture will take place in the school hall at 2 pm on Friday.It will be presented by a group of experts,who will share their knowledge and experience with us.There will also be a Q&A session after the lecture,where you can ask any questions you may have.

The Students’ Union  Ⅷ.About an hour later,they were told that Peter was in hospital,still alive.A ray of hope flashed in their eyes.Immediately they rushed to the hospital,their hearts pounding with expectation and worry.As they entered,they saw Peter lying in bed,weak but conscious.Mrs.Logan approached her son,her voice trembling,“Peter,my dear.”Peter looked up at his mother,surprised,“Mom,how come you’re here?I was badly injured in the hurricane and was sent to hospital in time by kind neighbors.The doctors and nurses did all they could to help me recover.”Mrs.Logan thanked them for their generous help,tears of gratitude welling up in her eyes.The hospital became a place of hope and healing,where lives were saved and families reunited.The two officers felt proud and happy to have helped Mrs.Logan. 6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
