They can travel across the ocean at speeds up to 500 km/h, as fast as a jet plane. When a tsunami reaches shallow water near the coast, it grows into a huge wall of water that can flood the land. The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was one of the deadliest natural disasters in history. It killed over 230，000 people in 14 countries. Since then, many countries have set up tsunami warning systems. These systems use sensors in the ocean to detect earthquakes and send alerts to coastal areas. If you are near the coast and feel a strong earthquake, or see the sea suddenly pull back, you should move to higher ground immediately. Do not wait for an official warning. Remember: a tsunami is not just one wave, but a series of waves that can last for hours. 56. What can cause a tsunami according to the text? A. Only underwater earthquakes. B. Underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions or landslides. C. Heavy rain. D. Strong winds. 57. How fast can a tsunami travel in the deep ocean? A. At 100 km/h. B. At 200 km/h. C. At 300 km/h. D. At 500 km/h. 58. What should you do if you see the sea suddenly pull back? A. Go to the beach to watch. B. Move to higher ground immediately. C. Wait for an official warning. D. Call 911for help. B It was a quiet morning in the small village. Maria was feeding her chickens when she noticed something strange. The birds were flying around wildly and making loud noises. Her dog, Rocky, was barking and running in circles. Maria felt a little worried but didn't know why. Suddenly, the ground began to shake. Maria lost her balance and fell to the ground. She realized it was an earthquake. She crawled under a strong wooden table and covered her head with her arms. Rocky stayed by her side, shaking with fear. The shaking lasted for about 30 seconds. When it stopped, Maria carefully came out from under the table. She saw that some walls had cracked, but her house was still standing. She quickly took her emergency kit and ran outside to the open field. There, she met her neighbours. Everyone was safe, thanks to Maria's quick thinking and the safety tips she had learned at school. 59. What did Maria notice before the earthquake? A. The sky turned dark. B. Her dog was sleeping. C.

A drought happens when there is little or no rain for a long time. This can lead to water shortages, crop failures, and even famine. In some African countries, droughts have lasted for years, forcing people to leave their homes in search of water. Climate change is making droughts more frequent and severe. Higher temperatures cause water to evaporate faster from the soil and plants. This means that even when it does rain, the water may not stay long enough to help crops grow. Scientists are working on new ways to save water, such as drip irrigation and drought-resistant crops. People can also help prevent water waste. Simple actions like fixing leaky taps, taking shorter showers, and using water-saving appliances can make a big difference. Governments should invest in water storage and management systems to prepare for dry periods. Everyone has a role to play in protecting our most precious resource—water. 63. What can cause a drought according to the text? A. Too much rain. B. Little or no rain for a long time. C. Floods. D. Earthquakes. 64. How is climate change affecting droughts? A. It is making them less frequent. B. It is making them more frequent and severe. C. It has no effect. D. It stops them completely. 65. What is the main idea of the text? A. How to grow crops in dry areas. B. The causes of droughts and how to save water. C. The history of droughts in Africa. D. How to build water storage systems. D Creating a family disaster plan is an important step in keeping your loved ones safe. Here are some key points to include in your plan: • Choose two meeting places: one outside your home for sudden emergencies like fires, and another outside your neighbourhood in case you cannot return home. • Make sure everyone knows how to call 911 and has important phone numbers memorized. • Teach children how to turn off the water, gas, and electricity if necessary. • Plan escape routes from each room and practise them regularly. • Keep a list of emergency contacts, including an out-of-town relative who can help coordinate if local phone lines are down. Remember to review and update your plan at least once a year. Being prepared can reduce panic and save lives. 66. How many meeting places should a family choose according to the text? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 67. Who should be included in the emergency contacts? A. Only local friends. B. An out-of-town relative. C. The neighbour. D. The teacher. 68.

The roads were blocked, communication systems were down, and there was a shortage of heavy equipment. To overcome these difficulties, teams used search and rescue dogs, listening devices, and cameras to find survivors under the rubble. One of the most successful tools was a special radar device that could detect heartbeats through 10 metres of concrete. This technology helped rescuers locate survivors who were trapped deep under the ruins. Drones were also used to map the affected areas and deliver small supplies to isolated villages. These high-tech tools, combined with the bravery of the rescue workers, saved many lives. However, experts say that the best way to reduce disaster deaths is to build stronger buildings and have better early warning systems. Technology is important, but prevention is even more powerful. 70. What does the underlined word "rubble" in Paragraph 1 mean? A. New buildings. B. Broken stones and bricks. C. Heavy equipment. D. Rescue tools. 71. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a tool used in the Haiti rescue? A. Search and rescue dogs. B. Listening devices. C. Radar device. D. Satellites. 72. What is the best title for the text? A. The Haiti Earthquake B. High-Tech Tools in Rescue C. How to Build Stronger Buildings D. The Importance of Early Warning Systems 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 Volcanic eruptions are one of the most powerful natural disasters. When a volcano erupts, it can send ash, gas, and lava into the air. The ash can travel thousands of kilometres and cause breathing problems for people and animals. Lava flows can destroy everything in their path, including homes, roads, and forests. Before an eruption, there are often warning signs, such as small earthquakes, steam coming from the volcano, or changes in the shape of the mountain. Scientists use special tools to monitor these signs and give warnings to people living nearby. When a warning is given, people should evacuate immediately to a safe distance. After an eruption, it is important to wear masks to avoid breathing in ash. People should also stay indoors until the air clears. Crops covered by ash may be ruined, and water supplies can be contaminated. Recovery can take months or even years, but with proper planning and help from the government, communities can rebuild and recover. 73.

Two years ago, a terrible typhoon hit my hometown. The strong wind blew off the roofs of some houses, and the heavy rain flooded the streets. Many families lost their electricity and clean water for days. What's worse, some old people were too frightened to leave their homes, which made the rescue work much harder. As middle school students, we should learn how to protect ourselves. First, it is necessary for us to prepare an emergency kit with food, water, a flashlight and some medicine at home. Second, we should take part in school safety drills seriously so that we can act quickly and correctly when a disaster really happens. Let's raise our awareness of disaster prevention and work together to build a safer community. Remember, being prepared can save lives. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
