课时二 阅读技能训练(答案)
1、 阅读理解
体裁:科普性说明文 题材:自然灾害发生越来越频繁的原因
【文章大意】科学证据指向自然灾害发生频率的增加原因复杂,人类活动是主因。
1.C
【命题意图】 考察细节理解
【答案分析】 原文第二段明确提到:“Studies show the frequency of Category 4-5 hurricanes has increased by 25-30% per degree Celsius of warming.”(研究表明,每升温1摄氏度,4-5级飓风频率增加25-30%)。
2.B
【命题意图】 考察推理判断
【答案分析】 原文第三段指出:”Coastal development destroys natural barriers like mangroves and coral reefs that once buffered shorelines from storm surges.”(沿海开发破坏了红树林和珊瑚礁等天然屏障,这些屏障曾缓冲风暴潮对海岸的冲击)。天然屏障被破坏导致防护能力下降。 选项B中“防护能力减弱”是这一因果关系的合理推断。A项:城市热岛在第三段被描述为 “加剧干旱”(负面) C、D项,文中未涉及沿海社区排放量或与内陆灾害对比。
3.A
【命题意图】 考察词义猜测
【答案分析】 线索1(反义对比):原文:“While natural climate variability... the long-term trend reflects clear anthropogenic fingerprints.” → “natural”(自然的)与“anthropogenic” 形成对立关系;线索2(重复概念):前文多次强调人类因素(para1: “human activities”;para3: “human-altered landscapes”);线索3(词根分析): “anthropo-”(人类,如anthropology人类学) + “-genic”(产生) → 人类引起的。
4.D
【命题意图】 考察写作意图
【答案分析】 通过对文章结构的分析可看出首段提出核心观点:人类活动是主因(human activities playing a pivotal role)。主体段落(2-4)分述三大人类因素:① 气候变化(para2) ② 环境退化(para3) ③土地利用(para4)。结尾段强调“人为印记”(anthropogenic fingerprints)。 A项:未对不同灾害进行比较。B项:沿海开发仅为例子,非全文焦点。D项:1970年代数据是支撑论据,非目的。
5. Three effective strategies are:
1. Direct Explanation Clues:The sentence contrasts “natural climate variability” with the “long-term trend” of disasters, implying “anthropogenic” opposes “natural.”
2.Repetition of Concepts: Earlier paragraphs emphasize “human activities” (para.1), “human-altered landscapes” (para 3), and greenhouse gases from human industry.
3. Root Word Analysis: “Anthro-” derives from Greek anthropos (human), and “-genic” means “created by.” Combining these suggests “human-created.”
二、语篇结构。
【导语】美国人对于本国经常发生的龙卷风的应对措施很有效。中国也应该要重视自然灾害发生时的自救学习。
6.F
【考点】承上启下的衔接句
【详解】前句描述美国多州频发龙卷风,后句需解释该地区名称由来(Tornado Alley),F项“这就是该地区被称为‘龙卷风走廊’的原因”完美承接。
7.G
【考点】代词指代
【详解】 后句“寻找安全地点”是具体行动,G项“人们遵循灾难计划”说明预警后的统一反应,且与下文的“演练计划”呼应。
8.A
【考点】代词指代、句式逻辑
【详解】引语来自学生,提及学校应对措施(去低楼层走廊),A项“在学校我们经常演练”解释行动依据,且与后文“做好准备”形成因果。
9.B
【考点】词汇复现、标点提示
【详解】前句提到检查灾后破坏(damage),B项“通常破坏严重”进一步强调结果,感叹号强化情感。
10.E
【考点】总结全文、行文逻辑
【详解】末段总结防灾通用原则,E项“我们应充分准备”点明主旨,并与结尾“牢记计划、经常演练”形成递进。
三、完形填空。
11-15 BCACD 16-20 BABCD 21-25.ABDAD

单元过关(答案)
(一)阅读理解
A篇
体裁:实用文体 题材:雪崩发生时的自救措施
【文章大意】雪崩是大自然最恐怖最致命的灾难之一。专家们有行之有效的自救建议。
1. C
【命题意图】考察细节理解
【答案分析】文本明确指出雪崩初始阶段(The First Seconds)的首要行动是"立即尝试向上坡方向跳跃到稳固地面"(immediately try to jump up-slope onto stable ground)。选项A(抓树/岩石)和B(呼喊)是后续动作;选项D(丢弃装备)虽重要,但在跳跃尝试之后提及。
2. A
【命题意图】考察推理判断
【答案分析】 文中强调快速朝坚固物体(如树木或岩石)横向移动。雪崩最初的滑动速度极快,若不先横向拉近距离,人可能会被雪流冲过目标物体,导致无法抓住。 选项A紧扣雪崩流动方向(downhill)的危害,其他选项为干扰(B是丢弃装备的原因,C/D与原文无关)。
3. D
【命题意图】考察词义猜测
【答案分析】 “swimming motion”(游泳动作)结合其修饰词“powerful”(有力的)及解释性同位语“aggressively backstroking and kicking your legs”(用力地反向划臂和蹬腿),明确指代一种主动、有力的肢体协调运动,旨在对抗雪流下沉,争取留在雪面附近(stay near the surface)。选项A(被动漂浮)和B(蜷缩保护)与描述相反;选项C(特定求救手势)属过度解读。
4. B
【命题意图】考察观点态度
【答案分析】 作者在“Essential Gear”部分开头用强烈措辞强调“切勿在没有必要装备的情况下进入雪崩地形”(Never venture... without essential gear),并列举关键装备(信标、探杆、雪铲、气囊背包),指出气囊背包“能显著增加留在雪面附近的几率”。使用“lifeline”(生命线)、“absolutely essential”等词及“Never”开头的祈使句,都表明作者认为这些装备是至关重要、不可或缺的(选项B)。选项A(质疑效果)、C(仅限专业人士)、D(漠不关心)均与作者积极强调装备重要性的态度不符。
B篇
体裁:记叙文 题材:维苏威火山喷发导致庞贝城被掩埋。
【文章大意】美丽繁华的庞贝城一夕间消失在火山熔岩下。此文用细腻的文笔写下其悲惨壮烈的过程。
5. C
【命题意图】考察细节理解
【答案分析】原文明确提到火山喷发前的征兆是“大地不安地低鸣”(beneath the calm, the earth murmured uneasily),对应选项C “明显的地面震动/低鸣”。选项A(暴风雨)、B(海雾)、D(异常炎热的日出)均未在文中出现。
6. B
【命题意图】考察推理判断
【答案分析】 文中描述喷发初期居民“用枕头遮挡头部” “跌跌撞撞逃向港口”(shielding their heads... stumbling blindly towards the harbor gates),说明在火山碎屑流(pyroclastic surges)抵达前存在短暂逃生时间窗口。选项A(完全无法逃生)和D(碎屑流立即抵达)与描述矛盾;选项C(仅港口居民可逃生)属于过度推断。
7. B
【命题意图】考察词义猜测
【答案分析】单词“incandescent” 在火山喷发语境下,通过下文“如拳头大小” “无情砸落”及“燃烧的世界”(consuming their world)可推断指岩石因高温白炽发光(glowing with intense heat)。选项A(冰冷)、C(轻盈漂浮)、D(透明)均不符合火山喷发物的特征。
8. C
【命题意图】考察词义猜测
【答案分析】短语“a rain of fire”是隐喻手法,强调火山喷发物(炽热的浮石)的极端高温与毁灭性,并非字面意义的“火焰雨”(选项D)。选项A(美丽效果)、B(数量速度)未抓住“fire”的核心含义。
9. D
【命题意图】考察主旨大意
【答案分析】 全文以感官描写为核心,按时间顺序呈现维苏威火山喷发前的平静→喷发→毁灭过程(如 “天空变暗” “建筑呻吟” “生命消逝”等细节),聚焦庞贝城被突然且彻底的摧毁(选项D)。选项A(地质分析)、B(历史发现)、C(预警系统批判)均偏离描写主旨。
(二)语篇结构
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主题为 “雷电安全防护”,采用 “问题-措施”结构展开。
10. B
【考点】承前启后
【详解】前文指出雷暴发生后果不堪设想,保证安全是最重要的。后文提到具体怎样的地方是安全的躲藏地。选项B“室内不能保证绝对安全”直接呼应。
11. D
【考点】段落中心句
【详解】后文详细说明避水原因(Water conducts electricity),选项D以祈使句提出核心建议,与专家引言形成因果逻辑 。
12. G
【考点】句际逻辑(解析说明)
【详解】前文提到电器风险,后文转向户外场景。选项G补充窗户/混凝土风险(含金属导体),且"hidden risks"衔接上下文新危险源 。
13. A
【考点】句际逻辑(总分)
【详解】后句"wait 30 minutes"是具体等待要求,选项A中"danger may still exist"总述滞留风险,形成总分关系 。
14. C
【考点】文章中心
【详解】末段总结急救措施,选项C的"prevention"呼应全文防护主题,且"most effective"升华主旨 。
(三)语法填空
15. a 16. strikes 17. forcing 18. affected 19. which 20. to find
21. survival/survivors 22. supplies 23. for 24. powerful
【导语】本文是一篇 说明文,主题为 “干旱灾害(Drought)”,采用 “现象-影响-应对” 的结构展开。
15. a 考查冠词用法(泛指单数可数名词)。空格后“destructive natural disaster”为单数可数名词,且首次提及,需用不定冠词 a(因“destructive”以辅音开头)。 排除:an(元音开头词如“an earthquake”),the(特指已提及的内容)。
16. strikes 考查主谓一致(第三人称单数)。 主语“drought”为单数,且全文为一般现在时(描述客观事实),动词需用三单形式 strikes。提示:后文“suffer”“dry up”等动词均为现在时。
17. forcing 考查现在分词表伴随结果。前句“Crops fail”是主句,空格后“farmers to watch...”为结果,需用现在分词 forcing作状语,表主动关系。 对比:forced(过去分词)表被动,与逻辑主语“crops”不符。
18. affected 考查过去分词作后置定语。空格修饰“areas”,表示“被干旱影响的地区”,需用过去分词 affected表被动完成。 对比:affecting(现在分词)表主动,与“areas”逻辑矛盾。
19. which 考查非限制性定语从句关系词。逗号后从句修饰前文整句“Many areas...face shortages”,需用which引导非限制性定语从句。排除:that(不能用于非限制性从句),what(不引导定语从句)。
20. to find 考查不定式作目的状语。“People trapped in this crisis often walk miles daily _______”中,人们日行好几英里是为了找水,因此用不定式作目的状语。。
21. survival 考查名词作介词宾语。介词“for”后需接名词,survival(生存)为抽象名词,符合语境“对生存至关重要”。对比:survive(动词)不能直接接在介词后。
22. supplies 考查名词复数(泛指类别)。 “emergency supplies”指“应急物资”,为可数名词复数形式,表示一类物品。对比:supply(单数)需搭配冠词(如“a supply”)。
23. for 考查介词固定搭配。“provide shade for sb”为固定搭配,意为“为某人提供阴凉”。排除:to方向性),with(表示工具或伴随)。
24. powerful 考查形容词修饰名词。空格修饰“measures”,需用形容词 powerful(有力的),构成“强有力的措施”。 对比:power(名词),powered(动词过去分词)。
(四)读后续写。
第一步 写单句
1. Kris added she broke through herself and that their joint passion for volunteering strengthened a profound bond between them.
2. More importantly, they recommended volunteering for anyone who wants to be “the hands and feet” in disaster response.
3. Arriving at school, the scene was chaotic and they could hear the frightened screams of the students.
4. As the last student was rescued, the sisters felt relief and gratitude, holding each other close.
5. Being praised, they felt happy and proud.
第二步 组语篇
【参考范文】Word came that a school had been severely affected by flooding, with numerous students trapped. Arriving at school, the scene was chaotic and they could hear the frightened screams of the students. Kris’s heart raced with nerves, but Robin reminded her to breathe and focus on the task on hand. Kris and Robin, along with rescue teams equipped with life jackets and ropes, were lowered into the flooding building. Kris did her best to calm them while Robin withdrew them to the safety of the waiting boat. As the last student was rescued, the sisters felt relief and gratitude, holding each other close.
After the rescue, the story of the sisters’ heroic efforts was reported. Being praised, they felt happy and proud. Robin expressed the volunteering work was not only a step of giving, but also something to bring hope when it seems like such a hopeless situation. Kris added she broke through herself and that their joint passion for volunteering strengthened a profound bond between them. More importantly, they recommended volunteering for anyone who wants to be “the hands and feet” in disaster response.
【写作分析】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了克里斯和罗宾这对在威斯康星州长大的姐妹。一起工作,一起服务的故事。当飓风哈维袭击佛罗伦萨,克里斯和罗宾开始投入到救援工作中,救出了被困学校的学生,事后她们也得到了表扬。
【要点解析】1.段落续写:①由第一段首句内容“有消息说,一所学校被洪水严重影响,许多学生被困。”可知,第一段可描写克里斯和罗宾是如何救出学生的。②由第二段首句内容“营救结束后,姐妹俩的英勇事迹被报道出来。”可知,第二段可描写克里斯和罗宾得到表扬,以及对志愿者工作的感悟。

Book 1 Unit 4
课时二 阅读技能训练
一、阅读理解
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
In recent decades, the world has witnessed a dramatic surge in natural disasters—hurricanes, wildfires, floods, and droughts occurring with alarming regularity. Scientific evidence points to a complex interplay of factors driving this trend, with human activities playing a pivotal role.
The most significant driver is climate change, fueled by greenhouse gas emissions. Rising global temperatures intensify the water cycle, leading to more extreme precipitation events and severe droughts. Warmer oceans provide energy for stronger hurricanes and typhoons, while prolonged heatwaves create tinderbox conditions for wildfires. Studies show the frequency of Category 4-5 hurricanes has increased by 25-30% per degree Celsius of warming.
Environmental degradation compounds these effects. Deforestation reduces nature’s capacity to absorb rainfall, increasing flood risks. Coastal development destroys natural barriers like mangroves and coral reefs that once buffered shorelines from storm surges. Urbanization creates “heat islands,” exacerbating drought conditions. The UN estimates such human-altered landscapes have doubled disaster vulnerability since 1990.
Additionally, changing land use patterns force populations into hazard-prone areas. As cities expand into floodplains or wildfire-prone wilderness, more communities face direct exposure. Meanwhile, melting glaciers and permafrost (driven by Arctic warming at twice the global rate) destabilize mountain slopes, raising landslide risks.
While natural climate variability (e.g., El Niño cycles) contributes to short-term fluctuations, the long-term trend reflects clear anthropogenic fingerprints. The World Meteorological Organization confirms weather-related disasters have quintupled since the 1970s, causing over $3.6 trillion in damages. Mitigation requires global cooperation to reduce emissions, restore ecosystems, and implement science-based disaster planning—before today’s emergencies become tomorrow’s catastrophes.

2. What can be inferred about coastal communities from the passage?
A. They benefit from urban heat islands.
B. Their natural storm protections have weakened.
C. They contribute least to greenhouse gas emissions.
D. They face fewer disasters than inland cities.
3. What does the underlined word "anthropogenic" in Paragraph 4most likely mean?
A. Human-caused B. Animal-caused
C. Naturally occurring D. Geologically ancient
4. What is the primary purpose of the passage?
A. To compare different types of natural disasters
B. To argue against coastal development policies
C. To describe historical disaster patterns since the 1970s

(2022年陕西七选五改编)
Every year in the U.S., there are about 500 tornadoes, a natural disaster, from Texas through Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and into South Dakota. 6
The “tornado season” is usually in spring, but the people in Tornado Alley are always ready for them and they always listen to the news. 7 They find somewhere safe to stay. At home, the best place is the basement—a room that is used to store things under the level of the ground. If there is no basement, a room without windows like the bathroom is also a safe place.
“ 8 So we can get ready and won’t feel afraid when there’s a tornado,” says Tiffany Taylor, a high school student from Texas. “There’s no basement at my school, so we usually go to the hallways on the lowest floors. Of course, we never sit near the windows.”
After the tornado, people first check to see if it is safe to go out and then they check the buildings and the area for damage. 9
In China, we are not so often troubled by tornadoes, but we do have disasters like earthquakes, or an unexpected fire. It is important to know how to keep ourselves safe when a disaster happens. Remember: 10 For example, we’d better keep disaster plans in mind and practice often.
A. At school, we often have practice.
B. And usually there is a lot of damage!
C. This is because there are a lot of tornadoes.
D. People run out of their homes with fear.
E. For safety, we should get well prepared.
F. That’s why this area is called “Tornado Alley”.
G. When the warnings come, people follow their disaster plans.

Surviving an Avalanche(雪崩): Critical Steps for Self-Rescue
An avalanche is one of nature's most terrifying and deadly forces. While prevention through checking forecasts and avoiding risky slopes is paramount, knowing how to react if caught can mean the difference between life and death. Here's what experts advise:
The First Seconds: React Instantly!
If you feel the snow slab crack and start to move beneath you, you have only about 3 seconds to act decisively. Immediately try to jump up-slope onto stable ground. If escape is impossible:
1. Quickly move sideways toward safer terrain or a solid object like a tree or rock—avalanches typically flow downhill, so lateral movement may reduce the force pulling you.
2. Jettison heavy equipment (like skis or snowboard poles)—they act as anchors and hinder mobility.
3. Only then grab onto the object with both hands to anchor yourself.
If Swept Away: Fight to Stay Near the Surface
Once engulfed, the snow behaves like a churning river. Use a powerful "swimming motion" ---aggressively backstroking and kicking your legs---to try to stay near the surface and avoid being dragged deeper. As the slide slows, thrust one arm straight upwards towards the sky before the snow sets like concrete. This creates a vital air pocket and provides a crucial signal for rescuers. Cover your mouth and nose with your other hand to prevent suffocation from snow inhalation.
After the Snow Stops: Conserve and Signal
You are now encased. Remain calm to conserve oxygen. Spit to determine gravity; dig slightly upwards in that direction if possible to create more air space. Listen intently for rescuers. Only shout if you hear them very close by, as yelling wastes precious oxygen and snow muffles sound. Trust that your beacon (if you wore one), probe line, or the arm you raised will guide searchers to you.
Essential Gear: Your Lifeline
Never venture into avalanche terrain without essential gear: a fully charged avalanche transceiver (beacon) worn correctly under your outer layer, a collapsible probe, and a sturdy shovel. Consider an avalanche airbag backpack, which can significantly increase your chances of staying near the surface.
Survival hinges on swift, informed action and proper equipment. Prevention is always best, but preparation and knowledge empower you if disaster strikes.
1. According to the text, what is the first immediate action recommended if you feel an avalanche starting beneath you?
A. To grab onto a tree or rock. B. To shout loudly to alert companions.
C. To try to jump up-slope onto stable ground. D. To jettison heavy equipment.
2. Why does the author emphasize moving sideways before grabbing a solid object?
A. To avoid being carried further downhill by the avalanche’s flow.
B. Because heavy equipment must be discarded first for stability.
C. To create space for rescuers to detect your position.
D. Because lateral movement helps snow solidify faster.
3. The underlined sentence “Use a powerful swimming motion” most likely instructs readers to_______
A. float passively to conserve energy.
B. tuck into a ball to protect vital organs.
C. signal for help using specific arm patterns like what is done in water rescue.
D. vigorously coordinate arm and leg motions to push upward/backward.
4. What is the author's primary perspective regarding avalanche survival gear (beacons, probes, shovels, airbags) presented in the text?
A. Skeptical. B. Emphatic. C. Supportive. D. Indifferent.
B
The morning of August 24, AD 79, dawned with deceptive tranquility over Pompeii. Shopkeepers opened their shutters to a clear sky above Mount Vesuvius. Yet, beneath the calm, the earth murmured uneasily. Suddenly, around noon, the mountain tore itself apart with a thunderous roar that shook the very foundations of the city. An enormous column of superheated ash, rock, and volcanic gases exploded upwards, mushrooming into the sky like a monstrous, grimy umbrella pine tree, blotting out the sun. Darkness descended prematurely.
Within minutes, incandescent pumice stones, some as large as fists, began to rain down relentlessly. They clattered onto rooftops like hail, shattering tiles and filling the streets with choking, grey dust. Citizens scrambled in panic, shielding their heads with pillows or wooden planks. Horses reared in terror; carts overturned, spilling goods onto roads rapidly becoming impassable. The air grew thick and acrid, burning lungs with each desperate gasp. Parents clutched children, stumbling blindly towards the harbor gates or seeking futile refuge within their homes, as the relentless downpour accumulated, a rain of fire consuming their world.
Buildings groaned under the accumulating weight. Roofs, weakened by constant bombardment and tremors, collapsed with sickening crashes, trapping those inside. Narrow streets transformed into treacherous rivers of hot ash and debris. Frantic cries for help mingled with the mountain’s unceasing rumble and the dreadful percussion of falling rock. As night fell – a night brought on hours early by the choking plume – a new horror approached: searing pyroclastic surges, avalanches of superheated gas and ash racing down the slopes at hurricane speed. These waves, hotter than any furnace, swept through the city’s final defenses, overwhelming everything and everyone in their path. Frescoes were swallowed by ash, vibrant lives extinguished, and Pompeii was silenced, buried under metres of volcanic shroud, its vibrant story frozen in a single, catastrophic day.
5.According to the text, what specific natural phenomenon immediately preceded the volcanic eruption on that morning?
A. A violent thunderstorm. B. A thick fog rolling in from the sea.
B. Noticeable earth murmurs. D. An unusually hot sunrise.
6. Based on the description of the eruption's progression, what can be reasonably inferred about the citizens' initial chance of escape?
A. Escape was apparently impossible from the very first moment of the eruption.
B. There was little time to attempt escape before conditions became completely lethal.
C. Only those who were living near the harbor gates had got the slightest chance of survival.
D. The pyroclastic surges arrived immediately after the initial blast, leaving no time.
7. What does the underlined word “incandescent” in Paragraph 2 most likely mean?
A. Extremely cold and icy. B. Glowing with intense heat and white-hot.
C. Lightweight and floating gently. D. Transparent and clear like glass.
8. The underlined phrase “a rain of fire” in Paragraph 2 is used to emphasize_________.
A. The beautiful, sparkling effect of the falling stones.
B. The sheer quantity and speed of the falling debris.
C. The extreme heat and destructive nature of the volcanic fallout.
D. The fact that actual flames were falling continuously from the sky.
9. What is the primary focus or central theme of this descriptive passage?
A. To make a historical record of the rediscovery of Pompeii centuries later.
B. To argue about the lack of adequate warning systems in ancient Roman cities.
C. To provide a detailed and scientific geological analysis of Plinian volcanic eruptions.
D. To vividly explain the sudden and overwhelming destruction of Pompeii by Mount Vesuvius.

(四)读后续写。
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Kris and Robin are sisters who grew up in Wisconsin. They work together and serve together.
In 2017, Hurricane Harvey struck with strong force across Florence, bringing fierce winds and record-breaking rainfall. The city was destroyed by the storm’s intensity, leading to widespread damage and flooding. Emergency services worked tirelessly to rescue those trapped by the rising floodwaters, while power failure left entire neighborhoods in darkness.
In the face of such misfortune, both Kris and Robin felt depressed and helpless, yet eager to assist. Upon discovering Convoy of Hope’s volunteer program, they didn’t hesitate to sign up. Soon after, they were invited to training, marking the start of their mission to serve together in this fighting.
However, their initial response to the arrangement was filled with anxiety for Kris. “I am kind of nervous before heading out. I wonder if I could remember my training?”said Kris Logemann, her voice with uncertainty. “Don’t worry! You see the staff do such a great job. They are incredibly supportive to us and will provide guidance and reassure every step of the way.” Robin comforted. She also added, “I am right there for you, too, Kris, we are in it together, and we’ll make it just like before.”
Robin Melcher remembered the first few rescues she and her sister went on. “We were helping a woman who had just lost her husband,”said Kris.“We were taking things out of her house, but also holding her hand and loving her. The ability to do that... it’s just really cool.” “Obviously we love it because we come back,”added Kris.
Full of power, Kris and Robin put their whole hearts into the training. During the Convoy of Hope’s detailed training program, they learned about disaster response, safety procedures, and psychological first aid. Through hands-on practice and team-building exercises, they prepared physically and mentally for the tasks ahead. As Kris and Robin continued their volunteer work, they were faced with one of their most heart-struck and unforgettable challenges.
