The wind started howling in the afternoon. The rain came down in sheets. We stayed in our hotel room and watched the storm outside. Trees were bending and falling. The power went out, and we sat in the dark, listening to the sounds of the storm. My little sister was scared, but I tried to stay calm. The hotel staff told everyone to stay indoors and away from windows. The typhoon lasted for about six hours. When it finally passed, we went outside and saw fallen trees and damaged buildings. Fortunately, no one was hurt. The local volunteers were already helping to clear the roads. The experience was scary, but it taught me the importance of listening to weather warnings and staying prepared. ( )6. Where did the writer's family experience the typhoon? A. In a big city. B.

C Natural disasters are events caused by natural forces that can cause great damage and loss of life. Examples include earthquakes, floods, typhoons, and tsunamis. These events have happened throughout history. However, our understanding of them has changed greatly. In ancient times, people believed that disasters were punishments from angry gods. They had little idea of the real causes. Today, science has explained the causes of most natural disasters. Earthquakes are caused by movements of tectonic plates. Typhoons form over warm ocean waters. Floods happen when rivers overflow or when heavy rain falls over a long period. With modern technology, we can predict many disasters and issue warnings. This has helped save countless lives. We still cannot prevent natural disasters, but we can reduce their impact by being prepared. Building stronger structures, creating early warning systems, and educating people about safety are all important steps. The more we understand disasters, the better we can protect ourselves. ( )11.

They occur when there is a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, causing the ground to shake. Throughout history, earthquakes have caused great destruction and loss of life. In 1556, an earthquake in China's Shaanxi province killed about 830,000 people — the deadliest earthquake in history. In 1906, the San Francisco earthquake destroyed much of the city and caused massive fires. In 2011, a powerful earthquake off the coast of Japan triggered a huge tsunami, leading to a nuclear disaster. Despite these tragedies, earthquakes have also led to progress. After each major earthquake, engineers have learned more about how to build safer structures. Modern buildings now use flexible materials and shock-absorbing systems to survive shaking. Earthquake warning systems have also been developed. These can give people a few seconds to take cover before the shaking starts. Our understanding of earthquakes has grown, and we continue to find better ways to protect ourselves. 1. What causes earthquakes? ________________________________________________ 2.
