☆A篇☆
[语篇解读]
本文为记叙文语篇,主要讲述了作者经历令人难以忘怀
的三次地震的情景。
[试题解析]
1.C考查思辨素养和理解主旨要义的能力。根据文章
第二段最后两句“There are only a few quakes that stand
out in my memory and luckily,none is shown in the website
So,my personal experience with earthquakes might be
considered insignificant..(在我的记忆中只有几次地震,
幸运的是,没有一次在网站上刊登出来。所以,我个人
的地震经历可能被认为是微不足道的。)”及第三段的
首句“There are three earthquakes that are difficult to forget.
(以下是三次令人难以忘怀的地震。)”可知,本文主
要讲作者经历的三次较难忘的地震。
2.D考查学习素养及理解具体信息的能力。根
据第三段第一次地震的地点状语“in Redwood City
in California”、第四段第二次地震的地点状语“in
Southern California”及第五段第三次地震的地,点状语“in
California”可知作者经历的三次地震都发生在加利福尼
亚。

三段中“The first one was in 1955 and our oldest daughter
was walking with me in our backyard in Redwood City in
California.(第一次是在1955年,我们的大女儿和我一
起在加州雷德伍德市我们家的后院散步。)”可知当第
一次地震发生时,作者和女儿是待在一起的。
4.B考查学习素养及理解具体信息的能力。根据上
"Our entire family was visiting Disneyland in Southern
California.(我们全家去了南加州的迪土尼乐园。)”可

Brandie Smith."That's part of their special abilities.They're
more sensitive to the environment,which is how they
survive..”可知Brandie Smith认为许多动物的听觉很敏锐。
7.A考查思辨素养和推断的能力。根据最后一段中
Not all the animals behaved unusually before the quake.For
example,Smith said the zoo's giant pandas didn't jump up
until the shaking actually began.可知在地震之前,大熊猫
并没有表现异常,由此推断出大熊猫不能感知地震,故
选A。
8.C考查思辨素养和理解主旨要义的能力。通过全文
Not all the animals behaved unusually before the quake.
可知,这篇文章主要讲了在地震前动物们的表现,有些
动物对地震敏感,而有些动物对地震没有察觉,故选C。
[学法指导]
本题型考查了对文章段落或某一板块的理解概括能力。
先阅读问题,然后带着问题再读全文,找出答题所需
要的依据,完成阅读。在词义与句义理解的基础上,结
合上下文总结归纳某一段或几段的大意,对于把握文章
主旨,分析全文结构都是至关重要的。纵观历年高考试
题,阅读理解试题一般有以下几种题型:一是直接回答
who,whom,which,what,where,when,why,how
疑问词引起的细节问题;二是猜测词义题;三是推断
题;四是综合概括题。在做阅读理解题时,一定要仔
细看完,看清楚试题要求再作答,特别要注意NOT,
TRUE,EXCEPT等词。有时,要先看题,后阅读文章,
带着问题去读短文,可缩短阅读时间,效果也许会更好。

(语篇词数:280个,建议用时:8分钟)
Having lived in California until 1970,my
family has felt a number of earthquakes.We
have been fortunate,however,to have
suffered no bodily harm or property damage.
There is a website that lists all California
earthquakes recorded from 1769 to the
present.The site lists the dates and times as
well as the magnitude(震级)and the exact
location of any quake that measured more than
6.0.There are only a few quakes that stand out
in my memory and luckily,none is shown in
the website.So,my personal experience with
earthquakes might be considered insignificant.
There are three earthquakes that are
difficult to forget.The first one was in 1955 and
our oldest daughter was walking with me in our
backyard in Redwood City in California.As the
shaking became stronger I held her to me with
one arm as I held on to one of our fruit trees
with the other.All three of us my daughter,I
and the tree)shook for two or three minutes
that to us felt like hours.
The second one was in 1963.Our entire
family was visiting Disneyland in Southern
California.The earth started to shake just as we
were beginning to walk from our hotel toward
the famous landmark.
My third experience with an earthquake was
a lonely one in California.It was in my sixties
and I was alone in an old church.As the building
started to shake,I quickly headed for the door
to go outside.I remember I said a little prayer
something like,"Help me get out of here in
time."Minutes later,I was safe outside.
1.What massage does the passage mainly tell us
A.A new film about an earthquake.

2.The earthquakes the author has experienced
A.all caused bodily harm
B.are all recorded in a website
C.all measured more than 6.0

Mandara seemed to know something big was
about to happen.So she let out a yell,caught
hold of her 2-year-old daughter Kibibi and
climbed up into a tree.She lives at the National
Zoo in Washington D.C..
And on Tuesday,August 23rd,witnesses
said she seemed to sense the big earthquake
UNIT 4 NATURAL DISASTERS 99
that shook much of the East Coast before any
humans knew what was going on.And she's not
the only one.In the moments before the quake,
an orangutan(猩猩)let out a loud call and
then climbed to the top of her shelter.
“It's very different from their normal call,.”
said Brandie Smith,the zookeeper."The
lemurs(monkey like animals of Madagascar)
will sound an alarm if they see or hear
something highly unusual."
But you can't see or hear an earthquake 15
minutes before it happens,can you?Maybe
you can-if you're an animal.
"Animals can hear above and below our
range of hearing,"said Brandie Smith."That's
part of their special abilities.They're more
sensitive to the environment,which is how
they survive.”
Primates weren't the only animals
that seemed to sense the quake before it
happened.One of the elephants made a warning
sound and a huge lizard(蜥蜴)ran quickly for
cover.The flamingoes(a kind of birds)gathered
before the quake and stayed together until the
shaking stopped.
So what kind of vibrations(震s动)were the
animals picking up in the moments before the
quake?Scientist Susan Hough said earthquakes
produce two types of waves--a weak“p”wave
and then a much stronger“S”wave.The“p”
stands for“primary”.And the“s”stands for
“secondary”.She thinks the“p”wave might
be what sets the animals off.
Not all the animals behaved unusually
before the quake.For example,Smith said
the zoo's giant pandas didn't jump up until the
shaking actually began.But many of the other
animals seemed to know something was coming
before it happened.“I'm not surprised at all,,”
Smith said.
