Outside the house, the rain poured down heavily. However, most villagers were busy as usual. They didn’t realize the 23 at all. As time went by, thick dark clouds gathered in the sky and the wind blew strongly. All of 24 sudden, the whole village became dark. Villagers felt 25 when they saw rainwater slowly entering their yards. The village loudspeakers (喇叭) warned everyone 26 calm and move to higher places at once. People collected some food and clothes quickly to the safe places. After great efforts, Li Wei and his family finally climbed onto a nearby rooftop (屋顶). They felt scared, 27 they never gave up the chance to survive. They looked around and saw water rise much 28 than they expected. They felt worried because the flood water was still rising. 29 , rescue teams arrived soon. With the help of the rescuers, all the villagers were successfully saved. During the difficult situation, Li Wei’s family and their neighbour helped each other to get through the terrible disaster. Floods are terrible natural disasters and bring us lots of trouble. Working as a team really makes 30 stronger when we face hard times. 四、阅读理解 A strong earthquake took place in Myanmar (缅甸) on March 28th, with a magnitude (震级) of 7.9. It was the strongest earthquake in that area. How did the earthquake happen? There are about 20 active plates on Earth and they are always moving. When two plates move past each other, there is an earthquake. It can happen from near the earth’s surface (地表) to about 700 kilometers deep. The closer to the surface, the stronger the quake is. During the quake in Myanmar, the depth was about only 18 kilometers. That’s why it caused so many buildings to fall down. The next day, this event was the headline of all newspapers. With the reporters giving the news, the whole world was shocked. Many countries not only showed their pity, but also organized together and offered help right away. China sent two teams to Myanmar and provided tents, medicine, food and drinking water—things that are badly needed in quake-hit areas. They became the first international teams to reach the area,and would offer further help depending on Myanmar’s needs. Medical teams from the Philippines and Thailand also arrived a few hours later. People from all around the world hoped survivors (幸存者) could stay hopeful and care for each other. Thanks to the help from different places, people there could live a better life and the loss was not so big. 31．Earthquakes happen because of ________. A．closer earth surface B．plate movement C．high magnitude D．depth to the surface 32．Why did the earthquake in Myanmar cause so many buildings to fall down? A．There were many plates on Earth. B．The plates moved too fast. C．The earthquake was 700 kilometers deep. D．The earthquake was too close to the surface. 33．What does “things that are badly needed in quake-hit areas” mean? A．We could give away money to the teams. B．Survivors in quake-hit areas didn’t like these things. C．The team could buy these things in quake-hit areas. D．People could give away these things to quake-hit areas. 34．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．The loss of this earthquake is small. B．People can not fight against earthquakes. C．The earthquake in Myanmar and what people did. D．Big events always become headlines of newspapers. 五、任务型阅读 Have you ever seen a wall of sand coming towards you? It is not a cloud. It is a sandstorm! A sandstorm happens in hot, sandy areas, such as Saudi Arabia, North Africa and the USA．Winds in the desert pick up the top layer (层) of sand and lift (扬起) it into the air. Sandstorms can be very big. The wall of sand can be up to 15 metres tall and many miles long. Sand from the storm can rise much higher, up to 1,500 metres. Sandstorms can travel 25 miles an hour. So if you see one coming, you must act quickly. It will arrive before you know it! Sandstorms usually happen in summer, the driest time of the year, when sand lifts up easily. They are dangerous for many reasons. First, you cannot see well outside. Sand gets into your nose and mouth and can go into your lungs (肺). Second, drivers cannot see clearly, so accidents become more frequent (频繁的). If you have to go outside in a sandstorm, wear sunglasses to protect your eyes. Also, cover your mouth and nose with a scarf. It is also important to close all doors and windows. Even if you do your best, sand still gets into the house. Everything gets dusty — even the pages of your books! Sandstorms are a serious problem in many parts of the world. Scientists are studying ways to stop them, such as planting more trees. Remember, if a sandstorm is coming, stay inside and stay safe. 35．How fast can a sandstorm travel? 36．Why is a sandstorm dangerous for drivers? 37．If a sandstorm happens in your city, what will you do to protect yourself? 38．If you were a scientist, what would you suggest doing to stop sandstorms? 39．将短文中画线句子翻译成中文。 六、书面表达 40．假设你们学校英文报正在举办以“安全自救”为主题的征文活动，请根据以下问题，以“How to stay safe in natural disasters”为题，写一篇英语短文投稿。 1.What natural disasters may happen in your area? 2.What should people do to keep safe when they happen? 3.Why is it important to learn safety knowledge? 要求：1.短文需包含所有问题要点，并适当发挥；2.词数100左右。 How to stay safe in natural disasters ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 《Unit 8 Safe and sound reading课后练习》参考答案 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 C D B A B A D B C D 题号 31 32 33 34 答案 B D D C 1．calm down 2．in all directions 3．fall down 4．put out 5．prepare for 6．上蹦下跳 7．像雨点般落下 8．就在那一刻 9．奔跑穿过树林 10．做正确的事情 【解析】1．冷静下来：calm down，动词短语。故填calm down。 2．四处，到处：in all directions，介词短语。故填in all directions。 3．摔倒，落下：fall down，动词短语。故填fall down。 4．扑灭：put out，动词短语。故填put out。 5．为……做准备：prepare for，动词短语。故填prepare for。 6．jump up and down：上蹦下跳，动词短语。故填：上蹦下跳。 7．rain down：像雨点般落下，动词短语。故填：像雨点般落下。 8．just at that moment：就在那一刻，介词短语。故填：就在那一刻。 9．run through the trees：奔跑穿过树林，动词短语。故填：奔跑穿过树林。 10．do the right thing：做正确的事情，动词短语。故填：做正确的事情。 11．C 12．D 13．B 14．A 15．B 16．A 17．D 18．B 19．C 20．D 【导语】本文介绍了龙卷风的危害及避险措施，并讲述了科学家如何通过研究龙卷风来预测其路径，从而提醒人们尽早避险。 【详解】11．句意：它每小时能移动超过 200 英里，并造成大量损坏。 后文提到：“As it moves across the land, it can easily pick up cars and trucks, and even...the buildings.”龙卷风卷起汽车和卡车，拆毁了建筑物，因此表示造成了很大损坏，用cause与后文语境相符。 12．句意：它能轻易卷起汽车和卡车，甚至拆毁建筑物。 前半句“it can easily pick up cars and trucks”提到龙卷风卷起汽车和卡车，此处表示它的破坏性，因此表示它能拆毁建筑物，用take down符合语境。 13．句意：如果你在没有地下室的家里，你应该去最低的楼层。 后文提到：“go to the lowest floor”去最低楼层，作为替代方案，可知是“没有”地下室。此处需介词修饰home，without符合。 14．句意：人们通常逃离龙卷风，但一些科学家试图靠近它们。 前后句意存在转折关系，且连接两个并列分句，应用连词 but。however 通常需标点隔开。 15．句意：那是因为他们想了解更多关于龙卷风的知识。 固定搭配learn about sth.意为“了解关于……”。 16．句意：科学家使用龙卷风探测仪测量风速、压力和方向。 与“wind speed”和“direction”相并列，此处指气象物理指标，风速和方向应与“压力”符合。用pressure符合语境。 17．句意：首先，他们试图猜测龙卷风接下来会去哪里。 后文提到：“If they guess..., they pick up the probe and try another place. ”他们试图猜测龙卷风的路径，用guess与后文语境相符。 18．句意：如果他们猜错了，他们收起探测仪尝试另一个地方。 后文句提到：“they pick up the probe and try another place”要尝试另一个地方，因此表示他们猜错方向了，用wrong符合后文的逻辑关系。 19．句意：最后，科学家测量所有数据并预测未来龙卷风可能在哪里形成和移动。 前文提到“First, they try to...where the tornado will go next.”预测龙卷风的方向，接下来要去哪里，用where与前文的逻辑相符。 20．句意：他们可以提醒人们更早地远离危险的龙卷风。 前文提到：“Finally, scientists take all the measurements and predict...future tornadoes may form (形成) and move. ”科学家测量所有数据并预测未来龙卷风可能在哪里形成和移动，这样能提醒人们更早地远离它，用remind与前文语境相符。 21．On 22．was preparing 23．danger 24．a 25．surprised 26．to stay 27．but 28．faster 29．Thankfully 30．us 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了2026年5月湖南常德山村遭遇暴雨洪水时，李伟一家和村民们在危机中互相帮助、最终获救的故事，强调了团队合作在困难时期的重要性。 【详解】21．句意：在2026年5月18日的晚上，李伟正在做作业，而他的奶奶正在为全家准备晚餐。空格后“the evening of May 18th”是具体某一天的晚上，表示“在具体的某一天或某一天的早中晚”时，介词应用“on”。 22．句意：在2026年5月18日的晚上，李伟正在做作业，而他的奶奶正在为全家准备晚餐。此处表示“奶奶正在准备晚餐”，与“was doing”构成过去进行时，强调过去某一时刻正在进行的动作。主语“his grandma”为单数，故填was preparing。 23．句意：他们完全没有意识到危险。前文提到暴雨倾盆，但村民并未意识到潜在的风险，此处作realize的宾语，应用名词“danger”表示“危险”。 24．句意：突然，整个村庄变得一片漆黑。固定短语“all of a sudden”意为“突然”，此处应用不定冠词“a”构成该短语。 25．句意：当村民们看到雨水慢慢进入他们的院子时，他们感到惊讶。此处作felt的表语，修饰人的感受，应用形容词“surprised”表示“感到惊讶的”。 26．句意：村里的喇叭警告每个人保持冷静，并立即转移到更高的地方。固定搭配“warn sb to do sth”表示“警告某人做某事”，此处应用动词不定式“to stay”作宾语补足语。 27．句意：他们感到害怕，但他们从未放弃生存的机会。前句“感到害怕”和后句“不放弃机会”之间存在转折关系，应用连词“but”连接。 28．句意：他们环顾四周，看到水位上升得比他们预期的要快得多。根据“than”可知，此处应用比较级，修饰动词“rise”应用副词“fast”的比较级“faster”，表示“更快地”。 29．句意：幸运的是，救援队很快就到达了。此处修饰整个句子，表示“幸运地”，应用副词“Thankfully”，位于句首首字母大写。 30．句意：当我们面对困难时期时，团队合作真的使我们更强大。此处作“makes”的宾语，指代“我们所有人”，应用人称代词宾格“us”。 31．B 32．D 33．D 34．C 【导语】本文介绍了缅甸7.9级强震的基本情况、地震的形成原理以及本次地震破坏力极强的原因，同时讲述了地震发生后国际社会向灾区提供援助的相关情况。 【详解】31．根据文章第二段中“How did the earthquake happen?…When two plates move past each other, there is an earthquake.”可知，地震是由板块运动引起的。 32．根据文章第二段中“The closer to the surface, the stronger the quake is. During the quake in Myanmar, the depth was about only 18 kilometers. That’s why it caused so many buildings to fall down.”可知，缅甸地震导致许多建筑物倒塌是因为震源离地表太近。 33．根据文章第三段中“China sent two teams to Myanmar and provided tents, medicine, food and drinking water — things that are badly needed in quake-hit areas.”可知，这些物资是灾区急需的，意味着人们可以将这些物品捐赠给地震灾区。 34．通读全文可知，文章第一段介绍了缅甸地震的发生，第二段分析了地震成因及破坏力大的原因，第三段和第四段讲述了各国及人们提供的帮助和影响，因此文章主要讲述了C项“缅甸地震以及人们所做的行动”。 35．It can travel 25 miles an hour. 36．Because drivers cannot see clearly. 37．I will stay inside and close doors and windows. 38．Plant more trees. 39．关上所有的门窗也很重要。 【导语】本文介绍沙尘暴多发区域、特点、危害、防护方法以及科学家治理沙尘暴的办法。 【详解】35．第二段原文：Sandstorms can travel 25 miles an hour. 直接提取原文速度信息作答。 36．第三段原文：Second, drivers cannot see clearly, so accidents become more frequent. 司机看不清道路，容易引发事故，因此沙尘暴对司机有危险。 37．第四段与末段提到沙尘暴来袭要待在室内、关好门窗；外出需戴墨镜、用围巾遮挡口鼻。核心防护做法为留在家中关闭门窗。 38．末段原文：Scientists are studying ways to stop them, such as planting more trees. 文中给出植树是治理沙尘暴的办法。 39．画线句子：It is also important to close all doors and windows. 句式it is important to do sth. 表示“做某事很重要”，close all doors and windows意为“关上所有门窗”。 40．范文： How to stay safe in natural disasters My hometown is in an area where typhoons often hit in summer.
