They can happen in many parts of the world, but they are most common in the central United States. A tornado looks like a large funnel（漏斗）hanging from a cloud. The wind inside a tornado can reach speeds of over 5km/h. Scientists use the Fujita Scale to measure the strength of tornadoes. The scale goes from F0 to F5. An F5 tornado is the strongest and can destroy even strong buildings. Tornadoes usually last only a few minutes, but they can cause great damage in a short time. If a tornado warning is given in your area, you should go to a small room on the lowest floor of a building, such as a bathroom or a closet. Stay away from windows and cover your head with your hands. Do not try to outrun a tornado in a car. 56. How are tornadoes measured according to the text? A. By their size. B. By the Fujita Scale. C.

People in the park started running towards the open ground. Tom realized it was an earthquake. He remembered what his teacher had taught him: "Drop, Cover and Hold on." He quickly got down on the ground and covered his head with his hands. Max stayed close to him. After about 3seconds, the shaking stopped. Tom and Max were both safe.

They can be caused by natural reasons, such as lightning, or by human activities, such as campfires left burning. Dry weather and strong winds can make wildfires spread quickly. Wildfires can cause great damage to forests, homes and wildlife. The smoke from wildfires can travel hundreds of kilometres and make the air unhealthy to breathe. In 2, wildfires in Australia destroyed millions of hectares of land and killed or harmed billions of animals. To prevent wildfires, people should be careful with fire in dry areas. If a wildfire breaks out, firefighters use water, fire retardant（阻燃剂）and controlled burns to stop it. People living near wildfires should follow evacuation（撤离）orders and keep safe. Scientists say that climate change is making wildfires worse. Higher temperatures and drier conditions mean that fire seasons are longer and fires are more dangerous. It is important for everyone to understand the risks and take action to protect our environment. 63. What can cause wildfires according to the text? A. Only lightning. B. Only human activities. C. Lightning and human activities. D. Heavy rain. 64. What does the writer think of climate change? A. It has nothing to do with wildfires. B. It makes wildfires worse. C. It helps stop wildfires. D. It makes fire seasons shorter. 65. What is the main idea of the text? A. How to put out wildfires. B. The causes and effects of wildfires and how to prevent them. C. The wildlife in Australia. D. The work of firefighters. D As we all know, natural disasters can happen at any time. Being prepared can save your life. Here are some tips to help you get ready for emergencies.

E On July 22, heavy rain caused serious flooding in Zhengzhou, Henan Province. The rain was the heaviest in recorded history. Many areas were underwater and traffic was stopped. To help with the rescue, many high technologies were used. Drones（无人机）were sent to take photos and videos of the flooded areas. They helped rescue teams see which areas needed help most. Some drones could even carry small things like medicine and food to people on the roofs of buildings. Robots were also used in the rescue. Underwater robots could search for people trapped in cars or under water. They could go where it was too dangerous for humans to go. Satellites provided images from space. These images helped scientists understand how the flood was spreading and where the water was deepest. This information was very useful for planning rescue operations. With the help of these technologies, the rescue work was more efficient and many lives were saved. 70. What does the underlined word "efficient" in the last paragraph mean? A. Slow. B. Effective. C.

The History of Flooding in China 第二节 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题的词数要求）。 F Landslides（滑坡）are a kind of natural disaster that can happen after heavy rain, earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. They happen when a large amount of rock, earth or rubbish moves down a slope. Landslides can destroy houses, roads and farms. They can also block rivers and cause floods. In many mountainous areas, landslides are a big danger. People who live on hillsides should be careful, especially during the rainy season. If you see cracks（裂缝）in the ground or trees that start to lean（倾斜）, it may be a sign that a landslide is coming. To stay safe, people should move away from the path of a landslide. If you are inside a building, go to the highest floor. If you are outside, move to the nearest high ground as quickly as possible. After a landslide, stay away from the area because there may be more slides. The government can help prevent landslides by planting trees on hillsides and building walls to hold the earth in place. People should also follow building rules and not build houses in dangerous areas. 73. What can cause landslides?（不超过10个词） _________________________________________________________ 74.

Today I want to talk about earthquakes. Earthquakes are one of the most terrible natural disasters. When a strong earthquake happens, the ground shakes violently. Buildings may fall down, roads may crack, and people may get injured or even lose their lives. It is really a disaster that can destroy everything in a short time. However, if we are well prepared, we can reduce the harm. First, we should learn some basic safety tips. For example, we should know the safest places in our homes and schools, such as under strong tables or against inside walls. Second, every family should prepare an emergency kit with water, food, a flashlight and a first-aid kit. Finally, when an earthquake happens, we should stay calm. If we are indoors, we should drop to the ground, cover our heads and hold on. If we are outdoors, we should move to an open area away from buildings and trees. Let's take action now to protect ourselves and our families from danger. That's all for my speech. Thank you. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
