一、阅读理解
Passage A
The devastating wildfires that swept through Califomia in recent years have left scars that will take
generations to heal.However,amid the ashes and destruction,stories of remarkable resilience and human
kindness have emerged,offering lessons in how communities can rebuild after catastrophe.
When the wildfires approached the small town of Paradise in 2018,residents had mere minutes to
evacuate.The fire moved with terifying speed,consuming everything in its path.Many lost their homes,
businesses,and precious memories.Yet in the days following the disaster,an extraordinary thing
happened.People who had lost everything began helping others who had lost even more.Local churches
and community centers transformed into shelters,providing food,clothing,and emotional support to
surVivoIs
Dr.Sarah Chen,a disaster psychologist who has studied community responses to natural disasters for
over two decades,explains that such collective resilience is not uncommon."When faced with
overwhelming tragedy,humans have an incredible capacity to come together,"she says."The shared
experience of survival creates bonds that are remarkably strong.We see neighbors helping neighbors,
complete strangers offering assistance,and entire communities rallying to support the most vulnerable
among them."
One particularly inspiring example is the story of the Martinez family.After losing their home,they used
their insurance money not to rebuild their own house,but to establish a community center where
displaced families could gather,share resources,and begin the long process of healing."We realized that
our home was just a building,"said Maria Martinez."Our real home is our community.If we could help
others find their footing again,that was more important than bricks and mortar."
The rebuilding process has been slow and challenging.Environmental concemns about future fire risks
have forced difficult conversations about where and how to rebuild.Climate scientists warn that rising
temperatures and prolonged drought conditions will likely lead to more frequent and severe wildfires in
the region.Some communities have chosen to relocate entirely,while others are rebuilding with fire-
resistant materials and creating better evacuation plans.
Despite these challenges,the spirit of hope remains strong.Community gardens have sprouted in places
where houses once stood,becoming symbols of renewal.Local artists have created murals on the walls of
rebuilt buildings,telling stories of survival and celebrating the beauty of the natural landscape.Schools
have incorporated disaster preparedness into their cunicula,ensuring that the next generation will be
better equipped to face future challenges
What emerges from these stories is not just a tale of survival,but a profound lesson about human
connection.As Dr.Chen notes,"Disasters stip away all the superficial differences between us.They
remind us of what truly matters:our relationships with each other,our capacity for compassion,and our
ability to find hope even in the darkest moments."
()1.What does the example of the Martinez family illustrate?
A.The importance of insurance money in disaster recovery.
B.The priority of community bonds over personal property.
C.The difficulty of rebuilding after natural disasters.
D.The effectiveness of financial compensation in healing.
()2.According to Dr.Sarah Chen,why do communities show collective resilience after disasters?
A.Because of govemment support and financial aid.
B.Because shared survival experiences create strong bonds.
C.Because people have no other choice but to cooperate
D.Because disaster preparation plans are well-developed
()3.What challenge do communities face during the rebuilding process according to the passage?
A.Lack of financial resources.
B.Environmental concems about future fire risks
C.Conflicts between neighbors over land use.
D.Insufficient support fiom local govemment.
()4.What is the author's main purpose in writing this passage?
A.To warn readers about the dangers of wildfires.
B.To criticize the slow response to natural disasters.
C.To highlight the power of community and hope after disaster.
D.To provide practical suggestions for disaster preparedness
()5.What does the phrase"bricks and mortar"in paragraph 4 most likely refer to?
A.Building materials used in construction.
B.The physical structure of a house
C.The financial cost ofrebuilding.
D.The emotional attachment to possessions.
Passage B
The concept ofdisaster forensics"has gained significant attention in recent years as scientists seek to
understand not just what happens during natural disasters,but the complex chain of events that makes
them so destructive.Unlike traditional disaster research,which focuses primarily on the immediate
physical impacts,disaster forensics examines the deeper social,economic,and political factors that turn
natural hazards into human catastrophes.
Consider the case of Hurricane Katrina,which struck New Orleans in 2005.While the huricane itself
was a powerful natural event,the catastrophe that followed was largely human-made.Years of insufficient
investment in flood protection systems,combined with urban development in naturally flood-prone areas,
created a situation where a major storm would inevitably cause massive destruction.Furthermore,the
response to the disaster exposed deep-seated social inequalities,with lower-income communities suffering
disproportionately from the lack of timely evacuation and relief efforts.
Dr.James Rodriguez,a leading researcher in this field,has developed a framework for analyzing disasters
that goes beyond the traditional focus on weather pattemns or geological processes."We need to ask why
certain communities are more vulnerable than others,"he explains."Why do some disasters affect poor
neighborhoods more severely than wealthy ones?Why do some countries recover quickly while others
remain in crisis for years?These questions cannot be answered by looking at wind speeds or earthquake
1 nagnitudes alone.”
The concept of"vulnerability"is central to disaster forensics.Vulnerability is not simply about being in
the path of a natural hazard;it is about having the resources and infrastructure to withstand and recover
from such events.Communities with strong social networks,diverse economies,effective governance,
and adequate infrastructure are far more resilient than those lacking these elements.A wealthy coastal
community with strict building codes,early warning systems,and comprehensive evacuation plans may
experience minimal damage from a huricane,while a poorer community just miles away might be
completely devastated by the same storm.
Climate change has added a new dimension to disaster forensics.As global temperatures ise,the
frequency and intensity of extreme weather events are increasing.However,the impact of these events
varies dramatically depending on local conditions.Two communities might face the same Category 4
huricane,but one might have invested in sea walls,upgraded drainage systems,and enforced building
codes,while the other might have allowed uncontrolled development in flood plains and failed to
maintain protective infrastructure.The result,disaster forensic scientists argue,is a choice as much as a
natural occurrence.
This field has important implications for policy-making.By understanding the root causes of disaster
vulnerability,governments and communities can take targeted action to reduce risk.This might involve
relocating communities away from high-risk areas,investing in green infrastructure such as wetlands that
can absorb flood waters,creating stronger social safety nets,or improving building standards in
vulnerable neighborhoods.
Ultimately,disaster forensics offers a more hopeful perspective than traditional approaches.While we
cannot prevent natural hazards from occurring,we have significant control over whether they become
disasters.As Dr.Rodriguez puts it,"Earthquakes will happen,storms will come,but whether they
become catastrophes is largely up to us."
()1.What distinguishes disaster forensics from traditional disaster research?
A.It focuses more on weather patterns and geological processes.
B.It examines social,economic,and political factors behind disasters.
C.It only studies the immediate physical impacts of disasters
D.It prioritizes studying wealthy communities over poor ones.
()2.According to the passage,what made Hunicane Katrina so destructive?
A.The hunicane was the most powerful in history.
B.Human factors such as poor planning and social inequality contributed greatly.
C.The govemment deliberately delayed relief efforts
D.The affected areas were naturally prone to flooding
()3.What does the concept ofvulnerability"in disaster forensics primarily refer to?
A.The location of communities in high-risk natural areas
B.The lack of resources and infrastructure to handle disasters.
C.The frequency of natural hazards in a particular region.
D.The level of damage caused by extreme weather events.
()4.What does the author suggest about the two communities facing the same hurricane?
A.They will inevitably experience the same level of destruction
B.Their different preparations can lead to very different outcomes.
C.The wealthier community will always be completely safe
D.Natural factors determine the damage more than human choices.
()5.Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A.Natural disasters are becoming more frequent due to climate change.
B.Disaster forensics proves that all disasters are caused by human actions.
C.Human choices and preparations significantly influence disaster outcomes.
D.Traditional disaster research is completely outdated and should be abandoned.
二、完形填空
In the spring of 2011,a massive earthquake struck Japan,triggering a devastating tsunami that would
forever change the lives of millions.Among the survivors was sixty-year-old Hideo Watanabe,a
fisherman who had spent his entire life near the coast of Sendai.When the earthquake(1)
he
was at the harbor,preparing his boat for the day's work.
"I felt the ground shake violently,"Hideo (2)
later."I knew immediately that a tsunami might
follow.I started running toward higher ground,but the water came so fast.It was like a wall of darkness
(3)
everything in its path."
For three days,Hideo was trapped on a small hill,with nothing but the(4)
of his family to
keep him going.When rescue teams finally reached him,they found him weak,dehydrated,but alive.
The first thing he asked about was not his lost boat or his(5)
home,but whether his daughter
and grandson were safe.
The tsunami had washed away six generations of family history.But when Hideo finally reunited with his
daughter at an evacuation center,he did not(6)
on what had been lost.Instead,he began to
focus on what could be rebuilt.
"My father has always been a man of action,"his daughter says."He doesn't like to sit and feel (7)
for himself.Within a week,he was organizing the other survivors,figuring out how to get food
and water,,helping people find(⑧)__,”
What drove Hideo was not just personal resilience,but a deep (9)
of community responsibility.
Ihave lived in this town my whole life,"he says."These people are not strangers,they are my
neighbors,my (10)
.IfI can help them,I must."
The recovery process has been(11)_
.Many of Hideo's fellow fishermen decided to leave the
coast,unable to face the trauma of retumning to the sea that had (12)
so much destruction.But
Hideo chose to stay.He helped rebuild the local fishing cooperative,training young fishermen in
traditional methods while also teaching them new safety (13)
learned from the disaster.
Years later,the town has slowly come back to life.The scars of the disaster remain,but so does the (14)
of its people.When asked what kept him going through the darkest days,Hideo smiles and
says simply,"You don't stop living because you've lost something.You find a new way to live.That's
what being human means.We(15)
and we continue."

三、阅读短文回答问题
Read the following passage and answer the questions in complete sentences.
When Huricane Maria made landfall in Puerto Rico on September 20,2017,it was the most powerful
storm to hit the island in nearly a century.The category 5 huricane brought sustained winds of 175 miles
per hour,causing widespread destruction.The power grid was completely destroyed,leaving 3.4 million
residents without electricity.Communication networks failed.Clean water became scarce.Hospitals
operated on backup generators,struggling to care for the injured and sick.
But what made Huricane Maria particularly devastating was not just the physical damage-it was the
slow and inadequate response that followed.While the mainland United States had received massive
federal assistance within days of Hunicane Harvey and Huricane Irma,Puerto Rico waited weeks for
meaningful help.The island,a U.S.tenitory whose residents are American citizens,found itselflargely
forgotten.This disparity highlighted longstanding inequalities in how different communities are treated
during crises
The recovery has been a long and painful process.Eight years later,many rural communities still lack
reliable electricity.Thousands of residents left the island,moving to the mainland in search of stability.
The population declined by nearly 4%in the furst year after the huricane,the largest single-year drop in
the island's history
Yet amid these ongoing struggles,stories of resilience have emerged.Local communities organized
themselves when official help failed to anive.In the mountain town of Utuado,residents created a
community network using battery-powered radios and messengers on foot to share information about
food distribution and medical services.Farmers developed new techniques for growing crops in
hurricane-prone conditions.Teachers transformed damaged schools into community leamning centers.
Perhaps most significantly,the disaster sparked a movement for change.Community organizers began
demanding better disaster preparation and more equitable treatment.New organizations formed to address
the root causes of vulnerability-poor infrastructure,economic inequality,and political marginalization-
that had turned a natural event into a human catastrophe.Young people,many of whom had planned to
leave the island,chose to stay and work toward rebuilding a more resilient Puerto Rico.
The story of Puerto Rico's recovery is not a simple tale of triumph over adversity.It is a complex narrative
of loss,struggle,persistence,and gradual change.It reminds us that disasters do not just happen-they are
shaped by human decisions,social structures,and political systems.And recovery is not just about
rebuilding what was lost,but about creating something better,something more just,something more
prepared for whatever challenges lie ahead.
1.What made Hurricane Maria particularly devastating beyond the physical destruction it caused?
2.How did the response to Huricane Maria differ from the response to hurnicanes that hit the mainland
United States?
3.What example of community resilience is given in the mountain town of Utuado?
4.According to the passage,what positive change did the disaster spark in Puerto Rico?
5.What does the passage suggest about the nature of disasters and recovery?

Dear Tom,
Thank you for your concemn about my situation.I'm writing to share what happened during the recent
heavy rainstorm in my community.
The storm was truly devastating.Floodwater rose rapidly,submerging many ground-floor apartments and
damaging roads.My family had to stay on the second floor for three days without electricity or clean
water.However,what touched me most was how our community came together.Neighbors shared food
and drinking water.Young volunteers helped elderly residents move to higher ground.The community
center became a temporary shelter where everyone supported each other.
Although this disaster was challenging,it showed me the strength of unity.I am hopeful that with
collective effort,we will rebuild our community even better than before.This experience has taught me to
cherish every moment and help others whenever possible.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
