一、阅读理解
Passage A
In the early moming of July 28,1976,the city of Tangshan was shaken by one of the deadliest
earthquakes in the 20th century.Measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale,the quake struck without wamning,
leveling nearly the entire city in a matter of seconds.More than 240,000 people lost their lives,and
hundreds of thousands more were injured.In the immediate aftermath,the scene was one of complete
devastation:roads were cracked,buildings collapsed,and survivors wandered dazed through the ruins.
However,what followed was not just a story of destruction,but one ofremarkable resilience.Within
hours of the disaster,ordinary citizens began digging through rubble with their bare hands to rescue
neighbors and strangers alike.The Chinese government mobilized troops and medical teams to the region,
establishing emergency shelters and field hospitals.International aid also poured in,with countries like
Japan offering medical supplies and technical assistance for search-and-rescue operations.
One of the most extraordinary aspects of the Tangshan earthquake was the speed of the city's recovery
While some predicted that the city would never come back to life,the people of Tangshan proved them
wrong.Within a decade,the city had been rebuilt with stronger building codes to withstand future quakes.
Today,Tangshan stands as a modern industrial city,its resilience honored in museums and memorials that
educate visitors about the disaster.
Scientists have since studied the Tangshan earthquake extensively.It occurred along the Tangshan Fault,
a relatively unknown fault line that had not been considered a major threat.The earthquake's shallow
depth-only about 11 kilometers below the surface-amplified its destructive power.Moreover,the
timing of the quake,which struck at 3:42 a.m.when most people were asleep,contibuted to the high
casualty rate
Since then,China has invested heavily in earthquake preparedness and early wamning systems.Modern
seismic monitoring stations now dot the country,and public education campaigns teach citizens how to
respond during earthquakes.The lessons learned from Tangshan have not only saved countless lives but
have also contributed to global understanding of earthquake science.As one seismologist put it,"The
tragedy of Tangshan became the foundation for a safer future."
()1.What is the main pupose of the first paragraph?
A.To explain the causes of the Tangshan earthquake.
B.To describe the immediate impact of the earthquake
C.To compare Tangshan with other earthquake-hit cities.
D.To introduce the international response to the disaster.
()2.The word "resilience"in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to
A.destruction
B.recovery
C.warning
D.planning
()3.According to the passage,which of the following factors made the Tangshan earthquake
particularly deadly?
A.It occurred during daytime when people were working
B.The fault line was well-known to scientists before the quake.
C.The earthquake struck at a shallow depth and at night.
D.The city had no building codes in place before 1976.
()4.What can be inferred about the international response to the disaster?
A.Most countries refused to send assistance.
B.Japan provided significant on-the-ground rescue teams
C.Intemnational aid mainly came in the form of medical supplies.
D.The Chinese goverment rejected all foreign offers of help.
()5.What is the author's attitude toward the aftermath of the Tangshan earthquake?
A.Critical and questioning
B.Admiring and respectful.
C.Indifferent and detached.
D.Pessimistic and hopeless.
Passage B
When Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast of the United States in August 2005,it became one of the
most destructive natural disasters in American history.The storm surge,reaching up to 28 feet in some
areas,overwhelmed the levee system in New Orleans,causing catastrophic flooding that submerged 80%
of the city.More than 1,800 people died,and property damage exceeded $100 billion.The disaster
exposed deep flaws in the nation's emergency response systems,particularly at the federal level.
Yet surprisingly,amid the chaos emerged stories of remarkable human kindness.Ordinary citizens
commandeered boats to rescue stranded neighbors;churches and community centers transformed into
improvised shelters,and volunteers from across the country descended upon the region to help with
cleanup and rebuilding.One such story is that of Dr.John Smith,a retired physician who drove 800 miles
from Ohio to volunteer at a makeshift hospital in Baton Rouge."I couldn't just sit and watch on
television,"he later recalled."I had skills that were needed,and I felt it was my duty to use them."
The long-term recovery of New Orleans has been a complex and ongoing process.In the years following
Katrina,the federal government allocated billions of dollars for levee repairs and flood protection.The
city's population,which had dropped sharply after the storm,gradually rebounded as residents retumned
and new immigrants anived to work on reconstruction projects.However,recovery has been uneven:
wealthier neighborhoods rebuilt quickly,while poorer areas-particularly those historically occupied by
Afican American communities-struggled for years to obtain adequate funding and resources
Critics have pointed out that the disaster revealed troubling patterns of social inequality.Before the storm,
New Orleans had one of the highest poverty rates in the country,and those with limited transportation
options were least able to evacuate.The failure of the levee system was not merely an engineering failure
but also a policy failure,reflecting decades of underinvestment in infrastructure in low-income areas.
Scientists now view Hurricane Katrina as a waming about the risks of climate change.While no single
storm can be directly attributed to global warming,rising sea levels and warmer ocean temperatures have
been shown to increase the intensity ofhurricanes.The lessons of Katrina have prompted cities
worldwide to reconsider their disaster preparedness plans.As one urban planner noted,"Katrina taught us
that nature always has the final word,but how we prepare for it deterines the difference between a
disaster and a catastrophe."
()1.What does the passage suggest about the federal response to Huricane Katrina?
A.It was swift and well-coordinated.
B.It received praise from intemnational observers.
C.It revealed serious weaknesses in emergency management.
D.It was entirely successful in preventing loss of life
()2.The phrase"commandeered boats"in paragraph 2 most likely means
A.purchased boats
B.repaired damaged boats
C.took control of boats for emergency use
D.built new boats for evacuation
()3.According to paragraph 3,what pattern emerged in the recovery of New Orleans?
A.All neighborhoods recovered at the same rate
B.Wealthier areas rebuilt faster than poorer ones.
C.The recovery was complete within two years.
D.Goverment funding was equally distibuted.
()4.What is the author's main argument in paragraph 4?
A.The levee system failure was purely an engineering problem
B.Social inequality contributed to the severity of the disaster.
C.Poor residents had better evacuation options than rich residents.
D.The disaster had no connection to race or income levels.
()5.What can be inferred about the long-term significance of Hurricane Katrina?
A.It had no lasting impact on disaster policy.
B.It only affected the United States,not other countries
C.It served as a critical lesson for global disaster preparedness.
D.It was quickly forgotten by most Americans.
二、完形填空
When the earthquake struck Nepal in April 2015,I was working as a volunteer in a small village near
Kathmandu.The ground shook violently for what felt like an eternity,and within minutes,the village had
been(1)

began to (2)
something remarkable happened.
An old woman emerged from a collapsed house,carying a baby in her arms.She was (3)

bleeding,but she walked steadily toward the center of the village,where people were gathering.Her
name was Maya,and she was 72 years old.She had lost her home,her belongings,and her son in the
earthquake.Yet she stood there,(4)
others.
"Don't cry,"she said firmly."We are alive.That is enough to start again."
Her words seemed to (5)
something deep within the crowd.Within an hour,villagers had

water from the nearest stream.No one(7)orders;everyone simply knew what to do
Maya became the heart of the recovery effort.She(8)
food and water,comforted the grieving
and even helped (9)
the bodies of the dead with respect and dignity.When I asked her where
she found the strength,she looked at me with (10)
eyes and said,"In the village,we have a
saying:When the mountain falls,the valley must rise."
Days tumned into weeks,and weeks into months.International aid eventually arived,but by then,the
villagers had already(11)
much of the work themselves.They had cleared roads,rebuilt
temporary shelters,and started planting crops.The earthquake had (12)
their homes,but it had
not destroyed their spirit.
I stayed in the village for three more months.When I finally left,Maya gave me a small stone from the
ruins ofher house."Take this,"she said."It will remind you that even the strongest(13)
can be

To this day,that stone sits on my desk.Every time I(14)

三、阅读短文回答问题
Read the following passage and answer the questions in complete sentences
In 2023,a series of devastating wildfires swept across the Hawaiian island of Maui,killing at least 100
people and destroying the historic town of Lahaina.The fires,which were fueled by dry conditions and
powerful winds from a distant huricane,spread with terifying speed,trapping residents who had little
time to evacuate.
The Maui fires highlighted the growing threat of "compound disasters"-events where multiple natural
phenomena combine to create catastrophic outcomes.In this case,Hurricane Dora,passing hundreds of
miles to the south of Hawaii,created strong pressure gradients that produced hurricane-force winds on
Maui.These winds,reaching speeds ofup to 80 miles per hour,rapidly spread fires that had started from
downed power lines and other sources.
What made the Maui fires particularly tragic was the failure of the island's emergency wamning systems
Many residents reported that they did not receive any evacuation alerts on their phones.The island's
outdoor sirens,which are designed to warn of tsunamis,were not activated for the fires.As a result,many
people had only minutes to flee when they saw flames approaching their neighborhoods
Environmental scientists have pointed out that climate change is creating conditions for more frequent and
intense wildfires worldwide.Warmer temperatures dry out vegetation,tumning forests and grasslands into
tinderboxes.Changes in rainfall patterns produce longer droughts in some regions,further increasing fire
risk.In Hawaii,non-native grasses that spread after the decline of sugar plantations have created a
continuous layer of highly flammable fuel,making the islands particularly vulnerable to fast-moving fires.
In the aftermath of the disaster,questions were raised about land use and development policies.Lahaina,
once the capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom,had seen rapid growth in tourism and real estate development.
Critics argued that this development had encroached upon fire-prone areas and that insufficient attention
had been paid to fire prevention and evacuation planning.
The recovery effort has been slow and painful.Thousands of displaced residents are still living in hotels
and temporary housing.The process ofrebuilding Lahaina has been complicated by disputes over land
ownership,environmental regulations,and cultural preservation.Some Native Hawaiian groups have
called for a more thoughtful reconstruction that honors the history and culture of the area,rather than
simply rebuilding a tourist destination.
1.What is meant by "compound disasters"as mentioned in paragraph 2?
2.Why did many Maui residents fail to receive warnings about the approaching fires?
3.According to the passage,what environmental factors in Hawaii increase the risk of fast-moving
wildfires?
4.What criticism did some people make about development in Lahaina before the fires?
5.What is the attitude of some Native Hawaiian groups toward the reconstruction of Lahaina?

Dear Tom,
I'm glad to hear that you participated in the emergency drill.It's really a wise decision to be prepared for
natural disasters
Here are some key points for earthquake survival.First,during an earthquake,drop,cover,and hold on
Find a sturdy table or desk to protect yourself from falling objects.Second,stay away from windows,
heavy furniture,and anything that could fall.Third,if you're outdoors,move to an open area away from
buildings,power lines,and trees.
Most importantly,stay calm.Panic can lead to poor decisions.Remember that earthquakes usually last
only seconds.Take deep breaths and focus on protecting yourself.Being prepared helps you stay calm
Keep practicing your emergency skills!
Yours,
