1、 阅读理解。
My name is George. When I was in middle school, I experienced a strong earthquake. When I was listening to the teacher carefully, suddenly I felt the ground shaking and everything started moving. Everyone in the classroom was shouting and crying. I was scared and even thought of the end of the world.
When the shaking stopped, the teacher quickly took us out of the classroom to the playground. We saw that the whole school was in a mess. Teachers tried to find all the students and make sure everyone was safe. As we stood on the playground, we could still feel the aftershocks.
After making sure it was safe, teachers called our parents to take us home. My house suffered some damage (损坏). The bookcases fell onto the floor and some things were broken. But I felt happy that we were all safe.
In the following days, we learned that the earthquake caused a lot of damage to the city. Many buildings collapsed and lots of people lost their homes and family. I was sad to hear that.
Looking back on this experience, I know how important it is to be prepared for natural disasters and I feel more hopeful about safety now. We never know when they will happen, but we can find ways to protect ourselves and our family.

【答案】【小题 1】C【小题 2】A【小题 3】B【小题 4】C【小题 5】D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者乔治在中学时经历的一次强烈地震,包括地震发生时的场景、地震后的状况以及作者从这次经历中获得的感悟。
【详解】
【小题 1】第一段提到:“When I was listening to the teacher carefully, suddenly I felt the ground shaking and everything started moving.” 这表明当地面开始震动时,乔治正在教室里认真听老师讲课。
【小题 2】第四段提到:“Many buildings collapsed and lots of people lost their homes and family.” 结合前文描述地震造成很多破坏,以及后文很多人失去家园和家人,可推测出 “collapsed” 意思是 “倒塌”,与 “fell down” 意思相符。
【小题 3】第二段提到:“When the shaking stopped, the teacher quickly took us out of the classroom to the playground.” 结合前文第一段 “When I was listening to the teacher carefully, suddenly I felt the ground shaking and everything started moving. Everyone in the classroom was shouting and crying.” 以及第三段 “My house suffered some damage (损坏).” 可知,先是乔治认真听老师讲课,然后同学们开始喊叫哭泣,接着老师带学生去操场,最后乔治看到房子受损。所以顺序是③②④①。
【小题 4】第一段提到:“I was scared and even thought of the end of the world.” 说明乔治一开始很害怕;第三段提到:“But I felt happy that we were all safe.” 说明看到大家都安全后他很高兴;第四段提到:“I was sad to hear that.” 说明听到很多人失去家园和家人他很伤心;最后一段提到:“I know how important it is to be prepared for natural disasters and I feel more hopeful about safety now.” 说明他现在对安全更有希望了。所以乔治的感情变化是 scared→happy→sad→hopeful。
【小题 5】最后一段提到:“Looking back on this experience, I know how important it is to be prepared for natural disasters.” 这表明乔治从这次事件中学到了为自然灾害做好准备的重要性。
三、阅读还原。阅读短文,从所列选项中,选出最佳选项填入对应空白处,使短文通顺、连贯。(选项中有一项多余)
There are lots of natural disasters every year. 1 Typhoons are some of the worst storms. Most happen in July, August and September.
How does a typhoon happen? When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer sun, it evaporates (蒸发) into the air. 2 When the air gets hot enough, it starts to move high up into the sky. Then cooler air around it rushes in. It fills the space that is left. After the air gets hotter, it starts to move quickly, making wind. 3 The hotter the air gets, the faster the wind moves. A typhoon has two parts. One is called the “eye”. It’s the centre of the typhoon. The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye.
Typhoons are very dangerous. In November 2013, Super Typhoon Haiyan killed more than 6,000 people in the Philippines (菲律宾). 4 What should we do when a typhoon happens?
• Stay inside. Close all the windows and stay away from it.
• Try to bring all of your things inside. Strong winds could even blow away your cars!
• 5 • If you’re told to go to a safer place, do it right now.
A.This makes the air hotter.
B.Typhoons are among them.
C.We should try to stop disasters like typhoons.
D.Listen to the radio, watch the TV or search on the Internet for important information.
E.More people were hurt and some others were missing.
F.The wind goes in circles and it keeps moving higher in the sky.
【答案】【小题 1】B【小题 2】A【小题 3】F【小题 4】E【小题 5】D
【导语】本文介绍了台风的发生过程、危害以及应对措施。文章先引出台风是常见自然灾害之一,然后解释其形成原理,接着举例说明台风的破坏性,最后给出安全建议。
【详解】【小题 1】根据第一段 “There are lots of natural disasters every year.” 和 “Typhoons are some of the worst storms.” 可知,第一空应说明台风是这些自然灾害中的一种。选项 B “Typhoons are among them.” 符合语境。
【小题 2】根据第二段 “When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer sun, it evaporates into the air.” 和 “When the air gets hot enough, it starts to move high up into the sky.” 可知,蒸发后的水汽会使空气变得更热。选项 A “This makes the air hotter.” 解释了这一过程,衔接自然。
【小题 3】根据第二段 “After the air gets hotter, it starts to move quickly, making wind.” 和 “The hotter the air gets, the faster the wind moves.” 可知,空白处应描述风的运动方式。选项 F “The wind goes in circles and it keeps moving higher in the sky.” 符合台风风旋上升的特点。
【小题 4】根据第三段 “In November 2013, Super Typhoon Haiyan killed more than 6,000 people in the Philippines.” 可知,例子说明台风造成死亡,空白处应补充其他伤害情况。选项 E “More people were hurt and some others were missing.” 符合逻辑。
【小题 5】根据前两条建议 “Stay inside.” 和 “Try to bring all of your things inside.” 以及后一条 “If you’re told to go to a safer place, do it right now.” 可知,空白处应是另一条具体建议。选项 D “Listen to the radio, watch the TV or search on the Internet for important information.” 是关于获取信息的安全建议,符合段落主题。

任务型阅读。
A thunderstorm is a common but dangerous weather event. It often brings heavy rain, strong winds, lightning, and thunder. It’s important for us to know how to protect ourselves. Here are three useful suggestions for staying safe.
First, stay indoors as soon as possible. When you see dark clouds or hear thunder in the distance, do not wait. Move into a strong building right away. Do not go outside again until the storm has passed. Staying inside is the simplest and most effective (有效的) way to reduce risk.
Second, keep away from electricity and water indoors. Do not use wired (有线的) phones, televisions, computers, or other electrical appliances during a thunderstorm. Lightning can travel through wiring (线路) and injure you. Avoid touching water taps, taking showers, or washing dishes, as water pipes (管) can also carry electricity. Stay away from windows, doors, and metal objects. Even inside a safe building, careful behavior is necessary to keep out of danger.
Third, if you are outdoors and meet a thunderstorm, act quickly. Never stand under trees or in open fields—these are the most dangerous places during a storm. Do not stand in water or run in heavy rain. If you can’t find a safe building, keep away from bicycles and other metal objects. Crouch down on the balls of your feet quickly, keep your head low, and cover your ears with your hands. Make yourself as small as possible. This position reduces the chance of being struck by lightning and buys you time until the storm passes.
In short, safety during a thunderstorm depends on calm, quick action. By following these rules, we can greatly reduce the danger. Always remember: safety comes first.

In the following days, we learned that the earthquake caused a lot of damage to the city. Many buildings collapsed and lots of people lost their homes and family. I was sad to hear that.
Looking back on this experience, I know how important it is to be prepared for natural disasters and I feel more hopeful about safety now. We never know when they will happen, but we can find ways to protect ourselves and our family.

There are lots of natural disasters every year. 1 Typhoons are some of the worst storms. Most happen in July, August and September.
How does a typhoon happen? When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer sun, it evaporates (蒸发) into the air. 2 When the air gets hot enough, it starts to move high up into the sky. Then cooler air around it rushes in. It fills the space that is left. After the air gets hotter, it starts to move quickly, making wind. 3 The hotter the air gets, the faster the wind moves. A typhoon has two parts. One is called the “eye”. It’s the centre of the typhoon. The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye.
Typhoons are very dangerous. In November 2013, Super Typhoon Haiyan killed more than 6,000 people in the Philippines (菲律宾). 4 What should we do when a typhoon happens?
• Stay inside. Close all the windows and stay away from it.
• Try to bring all of your things inside. Strong winds could even blow away your cars!
• 5 • If you’re told to go to a safer place, do it right now.
A.This makes the air hotter.
B.Typhoons are among them.
C.We should try to stop disasters like typhoons.
D.Listen to the radio, watch the TV or search on the Internet for important information.
E.More people were hurt and some others were missing.
F.The wind goes in circles and it keeps moving higher in the sky.

A thunderstorm is a common but dangerous weather event. It often brings heavy rain, strong winds, lightning, and thunder. It’s important for us to know how to protect ourselves. Here are three useful suggestions for staying safe.
First, stay indoors as soon as possible. When you see dark clouds or hear thunder in the distance, do not wait. Move into a strong building right away. Do not go outside again until the storm has passed. Staying inside is the simplest and most effective (有效的) way to reduce risk.
Second, keep away from electricity and water indoors. Do not use wired (有线的) phones, televisions, computers, or other electrical appliances during a thunderstorm. Lightning can travel through wiring (线路) and injure you. Avoid touching water taps, taking showers, or washing dishes, as water pipes (管) can also carry electricity. Stay away from windows, doors, and metal objects. Even inside a safe building, careful behavior is necessary to keep out of danger.
Third, if you are outdoors and meet a thunderstorm, act quickly. Never stand under trees or in open fields—these are the most dangerous places during a storm. Do not stand in water or run in heavy rain. If you can’t find a safe building, keep away from bicycles and other metal objects. Crouch down on the balls of your feet quickly, keep your head low, and cover your ears with your hands. Make yourself as small as possible. This position reduces the chance of being struck by lightning and buys you time until the storm passes.
In short, safety during a thunderstorm depends on calm, quick action. By following these rules, we can greatly reduce the danger. Always remember: safety comes first.
