三.阅读理解
It happens in every disaster (灾难): For those in need, people often donate (捐赠) things that turn out to be more of a trouble.
Juanita Rilling remembers it happened in 1988 when she was a disaster expert trying to help people suffering from a hurricane (飓风) in Honduras. "One morning I received a call from one of our logistic operators (物流运营商), and he explained to me that there was a plane carrying medical supplies that needed to land," says Rilling. "But the ground was full, with lots of donations that no one had required. The plane—full of needed supplies—had to find someplace else to go. And it ended up stopping everyone's plans by about 48 hours, which is important time in a disaster."
Rilling now runs the Center for International Disaster Information, which is trying to make sure things like that don't happen again. So when Superstorm Sandy hit, Rilling's group started a project to encourage money donation. "Even a small donation can make a big difference and can quickly become exactly what people affected by a disaster need most," Rilling says. But despite this, donators do that over and over. About 60% of the things donated after a disaster couldn't be used. Often it's old clothing or food.
Meghan Hara, who deals with kind donations for the American Red Cross, says she knows that some people are careful with giving money. And she doesn't think that the need to give something concrete (实物) should be completely stopped. "Part of what people are doing is that they're helping, and they're trying to help. What we need to work out is how to effectively deal with that," Hara says.
1.What caused needed supplies to be put off after the hurricane in 1988?
A. Workers on the plane. B. A weather report.
C. Useless donations on the ground. D. The call from the operator.
2.What did Rilling's group suggest donating when Superstorm Sandy hit?
A. Clothing. B. Money. C. Medicine. D. Food.
3.What is Meghan Hara's attitude towards donating concrete things?
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring. D. Worried.
4.What might the author continue talking about?
A. Studies on natural disasters. B. The benefits of helping others.
C. Tips on choosing useful donations. D. The ways of managing people's donations.
四.七选五
While being lost in the woods can be a frightening experience, surviving alone in the wild is generally a matter of common sense, patience, and wisely using the gifts that nature provides. (5)
Do your research first. Don't just trek off into the wilderness; get a solid understanding of your surroundings first. Studying a map of the area where you're going—and making sure to bring it with you—will increase your chances of not getting lost tremendously. Educate yourself about the flora and fauna of the area you are exploring. (6)
(7) . A cell phone with a spare battery or a portable CB radio can be your best, quickest means of rescue if you are truly lost or injured. A cell signal may only be obtainable only from a hill or tree, but is better than nothing. Serious hikers may even consider investing in a personal locator beacon such as the SPOT Messenger for extended, precarious, or very remote, treks.
Don't panic if you're lost. Panic is more dangerous than almost anything else, because it interferes with the operation of your single best, most useful and versatile survival tool: your mind. The moment you realize that you are lost, before you do anything else, stop. (8) . Before you act, follow the idea of STOP: S=sit down T=think O=observe your surroundings P=prepare for survival by gathering materials.
Signal your location. Make noise by whistling, shouting, singing, or banging rocks together. (9) .
If you're in a mountain meadow, make three piles of dark leaves or branches in a triangle. In sandy areas, make a large triangle in the sand. Three of anything in the wilderness is a standard distress signal.
A. Bring a means of communication.
B. If you can, mark your location in such a way that it's visible from the air.
C. Knowledge of the local plants and animals can save your life.
D. If you want to know how to survive in the woods, just follow these steps.
E. Starvation won't be a big problem.
F. Take a deep breath and stay calm.
G. Having strength in numbers will help you survive.
