Then I heard the sound of breaking glass.A second later, the entire house shook.My husband and I stared at each other in frozen horror before rushing to check on our baby daughter asleep in her bed.The sound had scared her awake—never had a cry sounded so sweet—and my husband gratefully snatched her up and ran to the relative safety of our room.
Then we ventured out.My husband started the car while I hurried across the street to let a neighbor know we were okay and heading to a friend's home.Shaking but grateful to be alive, we drove away.

The next morning, bright sunlight clearly displayed the storm's destruction.We returned home to see that a giant tree in the center of our yard had effectively split our house in two!
As we stood on the sidewalk wondering what to do, a local fire truck pulled up.The firefighters informed us that our home had received the worst damage in the city.When we meet neighbors for the first time, their eyes pop when they realize we live in the house the tree fell through.
In the days and weeks that followed, we remembered the feeling of relief when we realized that everyone in our lives who mattered was unscathed—me, my husband, our daughter and even our two pets.

Yes, we lost many things.But those things were replaceable and the damage was temporary.
Every so often we pull out the photos of the tree's destruction and feel surprised at how blessed we were—and still are.Whenever we begin to feel ungrateful or unsatisfied with what we have, those photos and memories offer a reminder of how we came through that trial.

(2025·湖南省大联考)As the first girl in my family, I was born in Venezuela, twelve months to the day before one of the biggest earthquakes in the country's history struck the capital city Caracas in 1967.I've always seen this as a sign of my destiny.
Disasters have the potential to set back a nation's development for years and even decades.However, my personal experiences have taught me that the extent of damage often depends on whether there is a culture of prevention within the affected society.
返回
‹#›
I recall a time when I was living in an apartment building when a moderate earthquake struck.My reaction, after the immediate “drop, cover, hold on” reflexes (反射动作), was to hope that the building would prove to be structurally sound.As the shaking slowly stopped, I ran outside to wait for possible aftershocks.My fears, thankfully, did not happen.It had resisted the quake because it followed the country's building codes.
Occasions like this show the necessity of having updated building codes that include lessons learned from past disasters.Had the building not followed these updated codes, I may not have survived.This experience has only strengthened my belief in the value of prevention in mitigating the impact of disasters.
返回
‹#›
I have spent the past two years working on the Built Environment in Latin America and the Caribbean Project.The project has developed risk-informed policies and engineering techniques in the six countries that were selected for their particularly high exposure to earthquakes.This project fits perfectly with my professional and personal goals, as it combines my passion and experience in risk reduction.Like the third little pig in the tale of Three Little Pigs, who puts resilience (韧性) above convenience while building his house from bricks, I'm committed to building a framework of prevention and resilience, as I know that early action today can prevent problems tomorrow.

(课标变化题)Approximately 4,000 years following the last glacial period, hunter-gatherer communities encountered another sudden climate shift that forced rapid adaptation to significantly colder conditions. The 8.2 ka event,occurring 8,200 years ago, brought about temperature declines of up to 6 ℃ within mere decades.Meanwhile,the breakaway of a Scotland-sized landmass from the Norwegian continental shelf generated a massive tsunami that completed Britain's geographical separation from mainland Europe.

Despite these severe environmental challenges,northern hemisphere (半球) populations demonstrated remarkable toughness.Through it all, people across the northern hemisphere survived, some by packing up and moving, others by sticking it out.Rick Schulting from the University of Oxford notes: “These communities were not passive victims but actively adapted to changing circumstances.”
返回
‹#›
While previous research had examined regional impacts, Schulting's comprehensive study compared archaeological evidence and environmental records across northwestern Europe and southern Siberia.To understand how they adapted, scientists compared archaeological findings, such as burial sites and ancient remains, with environmental evidence preserved in ancient lake beds. This combination of clues allowed them to reconstruct past changes in the climate and landscape with remarkable precision.
返回
‹#›
Adaptation strategies varied significantly across regions. Coastal communities in Norway's Oslofjord expanded through increased reliance on marine resources like fish and seals, while Lake Baikal populations showed minimal disruption due to stable water-based supplies.In contrast,northwestern Russian groups around Lake Onega exhibited unusual burial patterns suggesting strategic concentration near reliable food sources, whereas Scottish communities abandoned coastal settlements entirely, likely moving inland to survive the prolonged cold period.

Before the quake
One important way to prepare for a quake is to try to make your home safe.The stuff inside your home is just as important as the walls themselves.Take a tour of each room to look for things that could fall or break.
2 Move large or heavy objects to lower shelves, install latches (门闩) on cupboards, and secure any large appliances like water heaters.

When the shaking starts
3 In many situations that means remembering three actions: drop, cover, and hold.
Drop: Get down on your hands and knees immediately.This position protects you from falling but still allows you to move if necessary.
Cover: Place your head and neck (and your entire body if possible) underneath a strong table or desk.
Hold: Stay put until the shaking stops.Be prepared to move with your shelter if the shaking shifts it around.

After the shaking calms
Even after the ground grows still, the danger is not necessarily over.As the Earth settles from its quake, it can produce a series of smaller quakes known as aftershocks. 4 The first quake is then called a foreshock, and the second is called a main shock.
Still, once the shaking calms, it's time to start getting ready for more.First, check for injuries.Next, check the gas and electric lines, and turn them off if you can do so safely.And if you are inside a heavily damaged structure, get yourself and others out as soon as possible.If you're trapped, stay calm.Protect your mouth, nose, and eyes from the dust.Make noise to get responders' attention. __5__

1.解析:G 上文强调了地震的不可预测性和破坏性。选项G进一步说明地震可以在任何地点、任何时间毫无预兆地发生,与前文衔接紧密,且引出下文关于地震应对的内容。故选G。
2.解析:F 上文“Take a tour of each room to look for things that could fall or break.”提出要检查房间里可能掉落或破碎的东西。选项F中的“this”指代上文“寻找可能掉落或破碎的东西”这件事,且说明了处理这些问题的方法是重新整理。故选F。
3.解析:A 下文“In many situations that means remembering three actions: drop, cover, and hold.”介绍了地震发生时的具体应对动作。选项A概括了这部分内容的主旨,即尽快保护自己,引出下文。故选A。
