二、阅读理解(20小题,每小题2分,共40分)
阅读下面四篇语言材料,然后按文后要求做题。
A
Wang Le
I think humans are strong and can win against nature. We build strong houses to resist storms and dams (水坝) to control floods. With science, we can predict disasters early and prepare for them. These show we’re getting better at dealing with nature’s powerful forces.
Li Hua
I disagree. Big earthquakes or volcanic eruptions (火山爆发) can destroy cities easily. Even with technology, we can’t stop such powerful forces. Nature is too strong, and we can only try to live with it, not beat it.
Kangkang
It’s not about winning. Humans and nature need each other. We should protect forests and oceans instead of fighting against them. This way, disasters may happen less, and we can live safely together.
Zhao Wei
It depends on (取决于) the situation. For small disasters like minor (较小的) floods, we can deal with them. But for huge ones like tsunamis (海啸), we can’t. So we need to be careful, respect nature, and keep learning how to stay safe.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

C. Humans can control earthquakes and volcanoes. D. Humans can stop the forces of nature with technology.
3. What’s Kangkang’s suggestion?
A. Trying to win against nature. B. Protecting ourselves. C. Preventing disasters when possible. D. Living with nature safely.

I think it’s one of the most unforgettable experiences in my life! A storm woke (唤醒) me up early. I got up and looked out of the window of our hotel room. I listened to the thunder and watched the lightning. I didn’t feel scared at that time, but excited!
But then I checked my phone and saw on the internet that a hurricane was coming. I asked my dad what a hurricane was and whether he knew what to do. He told me not to worry because it is pretty normal here in summer and autumn. We stayed in our hotel room. There was even more rain by the afternoon and the winds were getting stronger and stronger.
In the evening, a hotel worker asked all the visitors to go to the dining hall. When we were all inside, we put tables in front of the doors and then we got down on the floor together in the corner. The winds got louder, the rain became heavier and then it suddenly went dark. I was so afraid that I held my dad’s hand. We stayed there for a long time.
Finally, morning arrived. The storm was over. I felt so happy that we were safe. I hope I will never have a night like that again.

On average, a home fire happens every 87 seconds in the US. Between 2019 and 2024, over 11,000 Americans lost their lives in home fires. Since we may have only 3 minutes or less time to escape (逃生) from a fire, it’s very important for us to pay attention to fire safety at home.
What causes a home fire? Cooking tools are the number-one cause of home fires. Never leave the kitchen unattended while cooking. Electrical appliances (电器) can lead to a fire too. We should check them often to make sure they are working properly. Smoking is another common cause of home fires. So be careful when smoking. Children like to play with fire. Teach them the dangers of fire and tell them fire is a tool, not a toy.
Here are some tips to get prepared for possible home fires. First, make sure we have two ways out from every room and make a house map with all doors and windows. Then, teach kids to stay low and get out when they hear a smoke alarm. Time (计时) how fast they can escape. Last, remember to practice our fire escape plan every six months.
Fire spreads faster than you think, so never take fire safety lightly at home. These tips may seem simple, but they can save lives.

根据“The weather report says a snowstorm is coming.天气预报说暴风雪要来了”和“Probably around midnight.大概午夜前后”可知,此处儿子是在询问暴风雪的开始时间,所以,“When will it start?它什么时候开始?” 符合语境。故填When will it start?
【52题详解】
根据“It’ll last at least two days, maybe longer.至少两天,可能更久”可知,这是在描述暴风雪的持续时长,因此,儿子的问题是在问持续时间,所以,“How long will it last?它会持续多久?” 符合语境。故填How long will it last?
【53题详解】
根据“First, you need to check if the heater… like bread, eggs, and instant noodles.”和“Close them and pull down the curtains of all the windows to keep the cold out.”可知,爸爸开始详细列出需要做的准备:检查暖气、储备食物、关窗拉窗帘等,所以,儿子是在询问应对暴风雪的准备事项,“What do I need to prepare?/What should I do?我需要准备些什么?/ 我该做些什么?”符合逻辑。故填What do I need to prepare?/What should I do?
【54题详解】
根据“Yes, you should. Close them and pull down the curtains of all the windows to keep the cold out.”可知,爸爸回答“是的,你应该关上”,并补充了关窗和拉窗帘的要求, 这是一个典型的一般疑问句,儿子在确认是否需要关窗,所以,“Should I close the windows?我应该关上窗户吗?”最自然。故填Should I close the windows?
【55题详解】
根据“Don’t worry, Dad.”可知,儿子让爸爸“别担心”,表明他会立刻执行爸爸的指示,“I’ll do it at once./I’ll do it right away.我马上就去做。”能表达“立刻行动”的意思,让爸爸放心。故填I’ll do it at once./I’ll do it right away.

Using Mobile Phones Wisely
Mobile phones are very important in our life. We can use them to search news, send messages and make phone calls. Besides, we can use them to enjoy music and pay for something. In a word, mobile phones have made our life more colorful.
However, they also bring us many problems. For example, if people use them while walking, riding, even driving, they may have traffic accidents. If we spend a lot of time on playing games, it may influence our study. What’s worse, they’re bad for our eyes and necks.

二、阅读理解(20小题,每小题2分,共40分)
阅读下面四篇语言材料,然后按文后要求做题。
A
Wang Le
I think humans are strong and can win against nature. We build strong houses to resist storms and dams (水坝) to control floods. With science, we can predict disasters early and prepare for them. These show we’re getting better at dealing with nature’s powerful forces.
Li Hua
I disagree. Big earthquakes or volcanic eruptions (火山爆发) can destroy cities easily. Even with technology, we can’t stop such powerful forces. Nature is too strong, and we can only try to live with it, not beat it.
Kangkang
It’s not about winning. Humans and nature need each other. We should protect forests and oceans instead of fighting against them. This way, disasters may happen less, and we can live safely together.
Zhao Wei
It depends on (取决于) the situation. For small disasters like minor (较小的) floods, we can deal with them. But for huge ones like tsunamis (海啸), we can’t. So we need to be careful, respect nature, and keep learning how to stay safe.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
1. What does the underlined word “resist” mean?
A. Give up. B. Talk about. C. Fight against. D. Run away from.
2. What’s Li Hua’s opinion?
A. It’s not easy to win against nature. B. Nature is too strong for humans and we need to live with it.
C. Humans can control earthquakes and volcanoes. D. Humans can stop the forces of nature with technology.
3. What’s Kangkang’s suggestion?
A. Trying to win against nature. B. Protecting ourselves. C. Preventing disasters when possible. D. Living with nature safely.
4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

Last weekend my dad and I went hiking in the mountains. We enjoyed the fresh air and would stay in the hotel room for another two days. I think it’s one of the most unforgettable experiences in my life! A storm woke (唤醒) me up early. I got up and looked out of the window of our hotel room. I listened to the thunder and watched the lightning. I didn’t feel scared at that time, but excited!
But then I checked my phone and saw on the internet that a hurricane was coming. I asked my dad what a hurricane was and whether he knew what to do. He told me not to worry because it is pretty normal here in summer and autumn. We stayed in our hotel room. There was even more rain by the afternoon and the winds were getting stronger and stronger.
In the evening, a hotel worker asked all the visitors to go to the dining hall. When we were all inside, we put tables in front of the doors and then we got down on the floor together in the corner. The winds got louder, the rain became heavier and then it suddenly went dark. I was so afraid that I held my dad’s hand. We stayed there for a long time.
Finally, morning arrived. The storm was over. I felt so happy that we were safe. I hope I will never have a night like that again.

On average, a home fire happens every 87 seconds in the US. Between 2019 and 2024, over 11,000 Americans lost their lives in home fires. Since we may have only 3 minutes or less time to escape (逃生) from a fire, it’s very important for us to pay attention to fire safety at home.
What causes a home fire? Cooking tools are the number-one cause of home fires. Never leave the kitchen unattended while cooking. Electrical appliances (电器) can lead to a fire too. We should check them often to make sure they are working properly. Smoking is another common cause of home fires. So be careful when smoking. Children like to play with fire. Teach them the dangers of fire and tell them fire is a tool, not a toy.
Here are some tips to get prepared for possible home fires. First, make sure we have two ways out from every room and make a house map with all doors and windows. Then, teach kids to stay low and get out when they hear a smoke alarm. Time (计时) how fast they can escape. Last, remember to practice our fire escape plan every six months.
Fire spreads faster than you think, so never take fire safety lightly at home. These tips may seem simple, but they can save lives.
