Sandstorms, floods, droughts, and typhoons cause great damage to human lives and property. Many of these disasters are closely related to human activities. For example, deforestation and rapid urban development have led to an increase in sandstorms. When trees are cut down, the soil becomes loose, and strong winds easily blow it away, forming sandstorms. Air pollution is another major cause of natural disasters. Harmful gases from factories and vehicles contribute to acid rain and smog. Acid rain damages forests, lakes, and buildings, while smog affects people’s health and disrupts transportation. Global warming, caused by the emission of greenhouse gases, leads to rising sea levels and extreme weather conditions such as heatwaves and heavy rains. However, humans have realized the importance of environmental protection and are taking measures to reduce the impact of natural disasters. Many countries are promoting the use of green energy, such as solar and wind power, to replace fossil fuels. Planting trees and restoring forests help prevent soil erosion and sandstorms. People are also encouraged to use public transportation and electric cars to reduce air pollution. Individuals can also play a role in protecting the environment. Simple actions like saving water, reducing waste, and recycling can make a difference. By working together, we can minimize the occurrence of natural disasters and create a safer and more sustainable world for future generations. 21．What is the main cause of sandstorms according to the passage? A．Too much rainfall. B．Deforestation and urban development. C．Volcanic eruptions. D．Earthquakes. 22．How does air pollution affect the environment? A．It causes coral bleaching. B．It leads to acid rain and smog. C．It reduces the number of marine species. D．It destroys historical buildings. 23．What can we infer from the passage? A．Natural disasters are completely caused by human activities. B．Individuals cannot do anything to prevent natural disasters. C．Using green energy can help reduce natural disasters. D．Global warming has no impact on sea levels. 24．What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A．To introduce different types of natural disasters. B．To explain the causes of natural disasters and call for environmental protection. C．To describe the history of natural disasters in the world. D．To compare natural disasters in different countries. 25．Which of the following is a way to reduce natural disasters? A．Cutting down more trees. B．Using more fossil fuels. C．Promoting green energy. D．Increasing urban development. 【答案】21．B 22．B 23．C 24．B 25．C 【导语】本文主要阐述了自然灾害愈发频繁严重的现状，分析其与人类活动相关的成因，以及人类为减轻灾害影响所采取的环境保护措施，并呼吁共同努力创造更可持续的世界。 21．细节理解题。根据第一段中“deforestation and rapid urban development have led to an increase in sandstorms. (森林砍伐和城市的快速发展导致沙尘暴的增加。)”可知，沙尘暴的主要成因是森林砍伐和城市发展。 22．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Harmful gases from factories and vehicles contribute to acid rain and smog. (工厂和车辆排放的有害气体造成酸雨和烟雾。)”可知，空气污染会导致酸雨和烟雾。 23．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Many countries are promoting the use of green energy, such as solar and wind power, to replace fossil fuels ... By working together, we can minimize the occurrence of natural disasters and create a safer and more sustainable world for future generations. (许多国家正在推广使用绿色能源，如太阳能和风能，以取代化石燃料……通过共同努力，我们可以最大限度地减少自然灾害的发生，为子孙后代创造一个更安全、更可持续的世界。)”可知，使用绿色能源有助于减少自然灾害。 24．推理判断题。文章既介绍了自然灾害与人类活动的关系等成因，又提到人类为减少自然灾害影响采取的措施，呼吁大家共同努力创造更可持续的世界，所以作者的写作目的是解释自然灾害的成因并呼吁环境保护。 25．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Many countries are promoting the use of green energy, such as solar and wind power, to replace fossil fuels ... By working together, we can minimize the occurrence of natural disasters and create a safer and more sustainable world for future generations. (许多国家正在推广使用绿色能源，如太阳能和风能，以取代化石燃料……通过共同努力，我们可以最大限度地减少自然灾害的发生，为子孙后代创造一个更安全、更可持续的世界。)”可知，推广绿色能源是减少自然灾害的方法。 .B What if you had only three minutes to take whatever you could take from your home, and the rest would be lost forever? What would you take? Japan is often hit by natural disasters, like earthquakes, heavy storms and tsunamis. But recently the nuclear radiation (核辐射) has brought long-term damage to Japan. Many Japanese have to abandon their lovely homes. They are now facing the fact that they may not be able to return for a long time. With this in mind, let’s discuss the value of a Bug Out Bag (B．O. B．for short). B．O. B．is a collection of things that you would need to live on if you had to escape from your home with no promises of housing food or water during the unexpected situation. The B．O. B．should include the following things that are needed for life: ·A sleeping bag, or at least a blanket to keep warm. ·Drinking water. ·High-calorie, no-cook foods like chocolate biscuits, protein bars, etc. ·First-aid supplies. . Fire starting methods, and a small pot to boil water or cook. . A few basic tools like a knife, some ropes, a flashlight (手电筒), etc. ·Money in cash. A digital backup of all your important documents and family treasures. This could be insurance (保险) documents, family photos and videos. You could keep a B．O. B．by the front door, or even have several bags at home, at the office and in your car. This might seem more than needed to some of you but just imagine what a difference this kind of preparation would have made to the people of Japan. Then think of the difference a B．O. B．will make if those disasters happen to you. 26．The writer talked about the nuclear radiation in Japan in order to ________. A．show the importance of a Bug Out Bag B．show how dangerous nuclear radiation is C．tell us the serious damage it has done to Japan D．explain why the Japanese have to leave their homes 27．What does the underlined word “abandon” probably mean in Chinese?

(日本经常遭受自然灾害的袭击，比如地震、暴雨和海啸。)以及“With this in mind, let’s discuss the value of a Bug Out Bag (B. O. B. for short). (考虑到这一点，让我们来讨论一下逃生包（简称 B.O.B.）的重要性。)”可知，作者提到日本的核辐射是为了引出B.O.B.的重要性。故选A。 27．词句猜测题。根据第二段中“They are now facing the fact that they may not be able to return for a long time. (他们现在面临着一个事实，那就是他们可能很长一段时间都无法返回。)”可知，由于核辐射的影响，许多日本人不得不放弃他们可爱的家园，所以“abandon”的意思是“抛弃”。故选C。 28．推理判断题。根据第三段中“B. O. B. is a collection of things that you would need to live on if you had to escape from your home with no promises of housing food or water during the unexpected situation.
