When a powerful undersea earthquake hits, the seabed rises or drops suddenly, pushing a lot of seawater to move quickly. Then the seawater forms large waves and spreads out (扩散) fast, creating a tsunami. Unlike common sea waves that only influence the water surface, tsunami waves go through the deep ocean water. Common waves are small and gentle; but tsunamis are long and full of huge energy. In the deep sea, tsunami waves are low but move at a very high speed (速度): When they get close to the beach, their speed drops but the height rises quickly. Finally, the powerful waves crash into (冲撞) the land. Tsunamis are really dangerous. They reach the shore (海岸) quickly, washing away buildings, trees and taking people’s lives. Many people lose their homes and family members in tsunamis. It is hard to tell when a tsunami will come. So we must remember safety rules. If we live near the sea, we must watch for warning signs. When we get a tsunami warning, leave the seaside at once for higher ground and stay calm. Nature is powerful, so we should respect (尊重) it. Learning about tsunamis helps us stay safe when a disaster comes. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 31. According to Paragraph 1, what makes the seawater move quickly? A. The strong wind on the sea surface. B. The heavy rain falling from the sky. C. The sudden rise or drop of the seabed. D. The ocean animals swimming in the sea. 32. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Sudden earthquakes. B. Tsunami waves. C. Common waves. D. Tall buildings. 33. Which is the correct order of things that happen during a tsunami? ①The waves become much higher near the beach. ②An undersea earthquake makes the seabed move. ③ The powerful waves rush into the land quickly. ④Seawater moves strongly and forms huge waves. A. ②④①③ B. ②①④③ C. ④②①③ D. ④③①② 34. What should people do first when they get a tsunami warning? A. They should go to the beach and take photos. B. They should call their friends and tell the news. C. They should stay at home and close all the windows. D. They should leave the seaside quickly for higher ground. 35. Which is the best title for the passage? A. How to Survive from Large Waves B. The Mystery of the Deep Ocean C. Tsunami—Danger and Safety Tips D. The Power of Undersea Earthquakes (C) Have you heard of the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil, South America? It covers about 5.5 million square kilometers and is home to millions of plant and animal species (物种). The Amazon Rainforest gives us plenty of oxygen (氧气) which helps humans and animals breathe. That is why people call it “the lungs of the Earth”. The huge forest works like a big air conditioner (空调). Trees take carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) and give out oxygen through photosynthesis (光合作用). The Amazon Rainforest also helps make the climate around the world stable. If this forest is gone, the global weather will become more changeable. Sadly, the rainforest is in great danger. Every year, large areas are cut down for farming or wood. In the past 50 years, about 17% of the forest has disappeared. If this continues, many animals will lose their homes and the balance of nature could be broken. Scientists warn that losing the Amazon would speed up global warming. Protecting the Amazon is not only Brazil’s job—it is the duty of the whole world. Small actions like saving paper and recycling (回收) waste can make a difference. We must act now before it is too late to save this natural treasure. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 36. Why is the Amazon Rainforest called “the lungs of the Earth”? A. Because it is the biggest forest in the world. B. Because it creates fresh water for the earth. C. Because it has many trees that look like lungs. D. Because it provides lots of oxygen to breathe. 37. What does the underlined word “stable” probably mean in Paragraph 2? A. Changing greatly. B. Remaining the same. C. Getting warmer. D. Becoming worse. 38. Which of the following is NOT true about the Amazon Rainforest? A. It helps control the climate all over the world. B. It is about 5.5 million square kilometers in size. C. It gives out carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. D. It is being destroyed by humans for wood or farming. 39. How can we protect the Amazon Rainforest according to the passage? A. By saving paper and recycling waste. B. By visiting the rainforest more often. C. By building more roads in the forest. D. By using more wood to build houses. 40. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To tell us how the Amazon Rainforest was formed. B. To describe the animals living in the Amazon Rainforest. C. To compare the Amazon Rainforest with other forests around the world. D. To introduce the importance of the Amazon Rainforest and ask for its protection. (D) Emma used to argue with her parents almost every week. She thought they were too strict with her. They wanted her to finish homework before watching TV, but she wanted to relax first. They asked her to clean her room, but she thought it was her own space. Every argument ended with Emma shutting the door and refusing to talk. One day, after a big fight about her grades, Emma’s mother didn’t shout. Instead, she wrote Emma a letter. In the letter, she said she loved Emma and was only worried about her future. She also said she was sorry for being too strict sometimes and hoped they could talk more calmly. Emma read the letter three times. Tears came to her eyes. She realized that her parents weren’t trying to control her—they just cared about her. That evening, Emma knocked on her parents’ bedroom door and said sorry. They hugged and had a long, peaceful talk. Since then, Emma has changed a lot. When she disagrees with her parents, she tries to explain (解释) her feelings instead of shouting. She also helps with housework without being asked. Their relationship has become much better. Emma learned that communication is the key to solving problems between family members. 根据文章内容，判断句子正（T）、误（F）。 41. Emma argued with her parents because she didn’t want to follow her family rules. 42. Emma’s mother wrote a letter to Emma and decided not to care about her anymore. 43. Emma cried after reading the letter because she finally understood her parents’ true feelings. 44. Emma’s change shows that she now becomes active in improving the family relationship. 45. The passage tells us that only parents need to solve family problems by themselves. (E) All countries have customs about how to eat politely. In English, we call these customs “table manners”. Based on cultures and places, table manners can be quite different from place to place. ____46____ In some countries, it’s polite to serve food to guests. ____47____ That’s because it makes the guests feel like they are being forced to eat, which makes them uncomfortable. If you visit such a family, you can politely tell the host that you are already full, or just take a small bite to show your thanks. In most East Asian countries, people use chopsticks at the table. ____48____ But do you know that in some places people simply use their hands to eat? For example, people from India only eat with their right hands. They think the left hand is not clean enough for food. In Russia, it’s polite to leave a bit of food on the plate to show the host that there was plenty to eat. ____49____ If you don’t want any more food, you should just say “That was delicious”. In this way, you won’t make your host feel sad. ____50____ So when you visit another place or another country, take the time to learn about the local customs and table manners. It not only helps us avoid mistakes, but also shows our respect for other cultures. Remember: When in Rome, do as the Romans do. 阅读短文，把A~E五个句子的选项填入文中相应空缺处，使短文内容完整。 A. But in France, it is impolite to say you are full. B. However, people don’t do this in other cultures. C. Here are some examples of table manners in different places. D. Different countries have different table manners and customs. E. In most Western countries, people usually eat with a knife and fork. (F) It was a happy time for me, but I ran into a lot of danger because of my small size. There were some incidents (事件) that I remembered clearly. Every morning Glumdalclitch carried my box to the window. One day she carried me to the window as usual, and then she left me there. Some huge wasps (黄蜂) came in through the window, and entered the box. They were the size of birds in England, and they were very fierce (凶猛的). I was afraid of them. I took out my sword and fought them. I killed four of them. Luckily, the others flew away. Another dangerous moment that I remembered was this: Glumdalclitch left me in the garden one day, and the weather was very bad. First it rained, and then it hailed (下冰雹) very hard. The hailstones were the size of tennis balls, and they hurt me badly, I managed to hide under a tree, but I was still hit by some of them. Another danger came from an idea that the Queen had. She knew that I liked boats, and she ordered one of her servants to make a little boat for me. The servant put the boat into a tank of water on the table. I spent many hours in this boat. One day, a frog jumped out of the water into the boat. I thought the boat would sink (下沉). Although I was scared, I had to push the frog out of the boat. —Adapted from Gulliver’s Travels 《格列佛游记》 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 51.
