Outside, strong winds were howling. Then Kini saw dark smoke rising in the distance. Since Kini’s parents were both firefighters, she knew: wildfire. Kini’s mom was already at the fire station. Her dad told her and her twin brother Kimo to pack for the night. Their two cats, Pumpkin and Pepper, were outside, but Kini wasn’t worried — they were outdoor cats. As they drove away, Kini watched the smoke growing larger. She didn’t know it would destroy her world. Lahaina was a lovely town with green mountains and white beaches. But climate change had brought longer, hotter summers and more droughts to Hawaii. Dry grass could easily catch fire. Scientists called it “a ticking time bomb”. On August 8, the “bomb” exploded (爆炸). Powerful winds swept across the island. Fallen power lines set the dry grass on fire. At first, firefighters got the fire under control. But strong winds brought the fire back. A wall of fire moved towards the town faster than a car. Kini and her family escaped, but their house was destroyed. Over 2,000 buildings were damaged and 100 died — the worst U.S. wildfire in 100 years. Two weeks later, the family visited their broken home. Kini was shocked to see everything destroyed. Then — a flash of orange! Pumpkin was alive! Weeks later, they found Pepper too. After the fire, Maui came together. Volunteers gave out food and clothing, and families opened their homes to those who had lost everything. One month later, Kini joined a traditional Hawaiian ocean ceremony (仪式) for the dead. “It made me grateful that Lahaina is not being forgotten,” she says. 46. What kind of natural disaster happened in Lahaina? A. Earthquake. B. Wildfire. C. Typhoon. D. Flood. 47. Why could Lahaina easily have fires? A. Because it had green mountains. B. Because it was a lovely town. C. Because climate change brought droughts. D. Because many people lived there. 48. What does “a ticking time bomb” most likely mean? A. A tool used by scientists. B. Something certain to cause trouble. C. A warning system for fires. D. A fire that had already started. 49. When Kini saw “a flash of orange,” she most likely felt _________. A. calm and relaxed B. angry and puzzled C. scared and lonely D. surprised and hopeful 50. What can we learn about the people from the last paragraph? A. They supported one another to recover. B. They moved to other islands after the fire. C. They waited for the government to help. D. They lost everything because of the wildfire. C. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage. （选择最恰当的单词或短语完成短文）（每题 2 分，共 12 分） The clothes industry has a big influence on the planet. It uses lots of water, energy and materials to make clothes. Another problem is, many people buy clothes they hardly ever wear just because they look nice.

Broken clothes with holes or tears can usually be recycled at a local centre. Reuse and remake Broken clothes can not only be mended but also remade into other things. For example, if you like sewing, old T-shirts can 55 , and old coats can become short jackets. Even small pieces of cloth can be used for art projects or cleaning. Wash smarter Only wash clothes when they really need to be washed. Underwear and sweaty items must be washed after one wear. 56 , jeans can be worn several times. Use cooler water, like 30 degrees, and dry clothes properly outside. This saves energy and helps the planet. 51. A. prefer B. choose C. know D. need 52.

I was spending the night at her house and couldn’t wait. But when she opened the door, she looked so different — wide jeans, short hair. “You look different,” I said. “You don’t,” she grinned. ② Then I saw Tracey, Gillian’s new friend. “Nice dress,” she said, but I could tell she was laughing at me. Later, I sat on the stairs while Tracey made phone calls for fun. That was when I heard them talking about me. “She’s a wet blanket1,” Tracey said.

I told her everything — how Gillian had changed, how Tracey was mean, how I felt upset. Helen listened quietly. “Gillian is still your friend. She’s just trying to impress Tracey. She’s becoming a moody3 teenager. It happens to all of us.” Her words made me feel grown up, because she listened to me like I was important. ⑤ A minute later, Gillian appeared. “I was mean to you, too. I’m sorry, Alison. You’re my real friend, and I was terrible.” ⑥ “It’s okay. Friends argue sometimes. It doesn’t mean we stop being friends.” ⑦ Helen smiled. “Hot chocolate, anyone?” She put her arms around me, and the three of us went downstairs together. ⑧ Years later, we are still friends.
