一、阅读理解
Passage A
When Hurricane Helena slammed into the Gulf Coast last September,it left a trail of destruction that
stretched for hundreds of miles.With winds exceeding 145 miles per hour and a storm surge that
towered over 20 feet,the Category 4 huricane was one of the most powerful storms to hit the region
in recorded history.The immediate aftermath was a scene of utter chaos:homes were reduced to piles
of splintered wood,roads were blocked by fallen power lines and uprooted trees,and hundreds of
thousands of residents were left without electicity or clean water.
Yet,amidst the devastation,a remarkable story of hope and resilience began to emerge.In the small
fishing village of Port Grant,where nearly every building was destroyed,the community did not fall
apart.Instead,it came together.Fishermen who had lost their boats tumned their attention to rescuing
neighbors trapped by the floodwaters.Local business owners,whose shops were now piles of rubble,
opened their homes to families left homeless.Within 48 hours of the storm passing,a makeshift
community kitchen was set up,serving hot meals to anyone who needed them.
"It's in these moments of absolute crisis that you see the true character of a community,"said Maria
Sanchez,a local councilwoman."We lost everything we owned,but we didn't lose each other.The
storm tried to break us,but it only made us stronger.We learned to rely on each other in ways we
never had before."This shared experience created an unbreakable bond among the survivors.They
discovered that material possessions,while valuable,are not the most important things in life.What
matters most is the human connection,the willingness to help a stranger in need,and the collective
spirit that can rise from the ruins of a disaster.
()1.What is the main pupose of the furst paragraph?
A.To explain the scientific causes of hurricanes.
B.To describe the overwhelming damage caused by the hurricane.
C.To compare Hurricane Helena with other historical storms.
D.To introduce the main characters of the story.
()2.According to the passage,what was the most significant change in Port Grant after the hunicane?
A.The physical infrastructure was completely rebuilt.
B.Fishermen became local business owners.
C.The community became more united and supportive.
D.A new govemment was formed to manage the crisis
()3.What does the underlined word "makeshift"in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Temporary and improvised.
B.Permanent and well-equipped.
C.Large and professional.
D.Public and official.
()4.What lesson does the author want to convey through this passage?
A.Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and severe.
B.Government aid is the most crucial factor in recovery.
C.Community spirit and human connection triumph in times of crisis.
D.It is impossible to prepare for a major huricane.
Passage B
The concept of "disaster diplomacy"suggests that when countries are struck by a common natural
disaster,they are more likely to cooperate,potentially easing long-standing political tensions.The idea
is compelling:the shared experience of a tragedy and the immediate need for aid can transcend borders,
creating a window of opportunity for diplomatic breakthroughs.The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami,
which killed over 200,000 people across 14 countries,is often cited as a prime example,as it led to a
historic peace deal between the Indonesian government and separatist rebels in Aceh province
However,a growing body of research indicates that the effect of disaster diplomacy is often temporary
and significantly overestimated.Political scientists argue that while a disaster can create a brief
"political window,"it does not guarantee that rival parties will walk through it.For diplomacy to
succeed,the disaster must align with pre-existing desires for peace.Furthermore,the chaos following a
disaster can just as easily exacerbate existing conflicts.Competing for limited aid resources,accusations
of goverment incompetence,and the displacement of populations can fuel new tensions.The 2010
earthquake in Haiti,for example,worsened political instability and led to a deadly cholera outbreak,
increasing national division rather than unity.
Some experts suggest that the media plays a key role in shaping the narrative of disaster diplomacy.
Dramatic images of intemnational cooperation often dominate headlines,but the long-term failure of
political reconciliation receives less coverage.In many cases,nommal political competition rapidly
returns once the initial emergency passes.Indeed,a study of over 200 natural disasters occuning
between 1990 and 2010 found no statistically significant link between the occurrence of a disaster and
the initiation of a peace process.Therefore,while disaster diplomacy is a hopeful idea,the evidence
suggests it is rarely a reliable tool for creating lasting peace.
()1.What is the main argument presented in the second paragraph?
A.The 2010 Haiti earthquake is a perfect example of successful disaster diplomacy.
B.The effect of disaster diplomacy is often short-lived and unreliable.
C.Competing for resources after a disaster always leads to peace.
D.Media coverage of disaster diplomacy is always accurate.
()2.The author mentions the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the 2010 Haiti earthquake to
A.illustrate both the potential and the limitations of disaster diplomacy
B.prove that natural disasters always lead to political breakthroughs
C.compare the efficiency of international aid in different regions
D.highlight the importance of media in disaster response
()3.What is the finding of the study mentioned in the last paragraph?
A.Over 200 peace processes were started due to disasters.
B.There is a strong connection between disasters and peace.
C.There is no clear evidence that disasters lead to lasting peace.
D.The media has a negative impact on diplomatic efforts.
()4.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A.The Science of Natural Disasters
B.Can a Disaster Bring Peace?A Cnitical Look.
C.The 2004 Tsunami:A Story of Hope
D.How to Negotiate During a Crisis
二、完形填空
The concept of hope is a powerful force,but in the face of a massive disaster,it can feel like a fragile
thing.When an earthquake leveled the small town of Esperanza,it seemed that hope was the first
casualty.The town,whose very name means "hope"in Spanish,was (1)
unrecognizable.
Buildings were gone,roads were cracked,and a thick layer of dust covered everything.
In the days that followed,the survivors were (2)
by a numbness that was worse than pain.
They went through the motions of survival-finding food,water,and shelter-but their eyes were
empty.The future,once so bright,now seemed like a dark and (3)
tunnel.A young teacher
named Elena felt this emptiness more than most.Her school,the heart of the community,was now just
a pile of bricks.
One morning,while walking through the debris,she (4)
something.It was a single,bright
yellow sunflower,growing stubbornly through a crack in the concrete.It was a(5)
of life
amidst so much death and destruction.Elena carefully cleared the rubble around it,protecting it from
the wind.She took a picture and posted it on the town's message board.
That single image of the sunflower (6)
something inside the people of Esperanza.It was a
small,defiant symbol of life.Soon,others began to share their own small finds-a green shoot,a bird's
nest,a child's drawing that had survived the quake.These small(7)
of beauty became their
new currency.They were not just surviving anymore;they were (8)
Weeks later,when aid workers arived,they expected to find a broken community.Instead,they found
a group of people who had already begun the process of(9)
They had cleared a central
square and were planning to rebuild the school."We leamed that hope is not something you find,"
Elena told them,"It is something you (10).It isn't a big,loud thing.Sometimes,it's as quiet
as a flower,(11)
through the hardest concrete.You just have to be brave enough to look for
it,and then,to protect it."The town of Esperanza,whose name means hope,taught the world that
hope can take root in the most(12)

三、阅读短文回答问题
Read the following passage and answer the questions in complete sentences.
In the cold winter of 1985,a devastating earthquake struck Mexico City.Among the many
intemational rescue teams that flew in to help were the "Topos,"a specialized group from Mexico's
neighbor to the north,the United States.For weeks,these American volunteers worked side-by-side
with Mexican civilians,digging through the ruins of collapsed buildings to find survivors.This intense,
shared experience of grief and heroism created a profound emotional bond between the rescuers and
the rescued.
However,the true miracle of this story unfolded decades later.In 2017,when a powerful earthquake
hit the city of Puebla,Mexico,the favor was spectacularly retumned.This time,it was not a government
agency that responded first,but an informal network of Mexican-American volunteers living in the
United States.Inspired by stories of the 1985 help,they used social media to organize "Topos
brigades."Within days,thousands of Mexican-Americans had crossed the border.They were not
professional rescuers,but construction workers,nurses,and students who brought with them specialized
knowledge of building structures and medical training,volunteering their time to help a country they
felt deeply connected to.
This reciprocal relationship has now become a symbol of cross-border solidarity.These volunteer
groups have since fomalized their training,developing a model for "citizen diplomacy."Maria
Gonzalez,a volunteer from Los Angeles who participated in the 2017 rescue,explains,"The 1985
earthquake didn't just damage a city;it built a bridge between our people.That bridge was made of
shared suffering and mutual aid,and it remains standing today.When disaster strikes,we don't see a
border.We see family.The story of the Topos demonstrates that while disasters destroy buildings,
they can also create structures of human connection that are stronger than concrete.
1.What was the "profound emotional bond"formed between the American Topos volunteers and
the Mexican civilians in 1985?
2.According to the passage,what made the 2017 rescue effort in Puebla different from typical
govemnment responses?
3.Why did thousands of Mexican-Americans volunteer to help in the 2017 earthquake?
4.What does the volunteer Maria Gonzalez mean when she says the disaster built a "bridge"
between the two peoples?
5.What is the main message the passage conveys about the relationship between disasters and human
connection?

Hope in the Face of Disaster
Last year,my hometown was hit by a devastating flood.The rising water swallowed fields and houses,
forcing many families to leave behind everything they owned.It was a time of great loss and fear.
Yet,amid the destruction,I witnessed incredible courage.Neighbors I barely knew opened their doors
to the homeless.Young volunteers rushed to fill sandbags,while rescue boats tirelessly searched for the
trapped.No one complained;everyone acted.
This experience taught me that hope is not a passive feeling but an active choice.It is the strength we
find in unity.Even when nature seems to defeat us,the human spirit,when bound together,can rise
above disaster and rebuild a brighter future.
