Storms are scary. Watch for flashes of lightning. Listen for thunder. If nature sends these warnings, don’t wait for rain. Act right away to keep safe. Safety Steps At the first flash of lightning, quickly get inside a building or a car. Do not go into a shed (棚) for protection. It is not closed like a building, so it is not safe. Even after you are indoors, be careful. It is not smart to go near doors and windows. They can blow in or break. A room with no windows is the safest place to be. Do not wash your hands during a storm. Do not use anything that runs on electricity either. Water and electrical lines are like roads for lightning. Even if you really want to play computer games, don’t! It is better to be bored than to risk getting hurt. Try reading a book instead. Reading is more fun than playing computer games. If you can’t get to somewhere safe, stay out in the open. You may feel safe under a tree, but that is not a good place to be. Lightning is pulling toward tall poles and trees. Stay down in an open space and cover your ears to protect them. Loud thunder can damage your hearing. Lightning Strikes Lightning does not strike people very often. It is not likely that you will ever see that happen. If you do, call 120. Only trained emergency workers should care for a person who has been hit by lightning. If you follow these rules, you should stay safe during a storm. ( ) 21. From Paragraph 1, we learn that ________. A. storms are frightening and harmful B. storms often come without warnings C. people should wait and watch lightning D. people should take action after the storm ( ) 22. The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________. A. a building B. a car C. a room D. a shed ( ) 23. During a storm you had better ________. A. use a computer for a while B. listen for thunder by a window C. leave the room and stay out D. find a closed or an open place B The village of Greenhaven suffered from drought (旱灾) for years. Rivers ran dry and crops failed. While most villagers gave up hope, ten-year-old Larry had an idea from his science class: to build a “dew trap (露水收集器)”. He learned how desert beetles (甲虫) collect drinking water from fog (雾气) on their backs. Larry wondered, “If a beetle can do it, why can’t we?” He used an old plastic bottle and a mesh screen (网筛) to make his first trap. Every morning before school, he checked his trap. For weeks, only a few drops appeared. “Just a toy,” some villagers laughed. Larry began to lose hope. Yet, he remembered some words: Nature has already solved many problems. We just need to learn to look closely. He learned from the beetles again and decided to make his trap’s surface much larger. One evening, a thick fog came down. Larry placed his trap on the hill. It was a piece of plastic held up by a wooden structure. The next morning, he found not just drops, but a small, clear pool of water. A great sense of achievement filled his heart. Word spread quickly. Soon, many villagers joined him to build bigger traps. Within a month, they collected enough water for their gardens. Thanks to Larry, Greenhaven was green again. Larry learned that the greatest strength lies not in fighting nature, but in learning from it. ( ) 24. Which is the picture of Larry’s first dew trap? A. B. C. D. ( ) 25. How did Larry’s feeling change in the story? A. Angry→proud→hopeful. B. Confident→afraid→relaxed. C. Bored→excited→disappointed. D. Hopeful→disappointed→proud. ( ) 26. What can we learn from Larry’s story? A. Learning from nature can bring solutions and hope. B. Modern technology helps solve difficult problems. C. Teamwork is the only key to achieving success. D. The first design of an idea is usually the best one. C Jason and his father were going to the supermarket by car to buy some apples. It had been an unusual day. The sky was dark but there were few clouds. As they drove up the street, they heard a rumbling (隆隆的) sound across the ground. Jason’s father immediately realized that a tornado (龙卷风) was coming. He stopped the car and told Jason to get out immediately. Jason and his father got out of the car and made their way to the closest building. By this time the wind was blowing harder, and it was hard to see or hear. Debris was falling all over the place. Jason couldn’t see his dad anymore. He also realized that he wasn’t getting to the building fast enough. He was afraid he would be picked up by the wind and thrown into the air. As he made his way towards the building, he noticed a field to his right. He could see an irrigation ditch (灌溉渠). In a panic, he scrambled (爬) to the ditch and lay flat on the ground. More debris and objects flew overhead. His heart was beating hard, and he was nervous. He had never been in a tornado before. After a while, the winds died down and the loud roaring sound was gone. Jason slowly lifted his head and nervously looked around. What he saw was a great mess. Jason could hardly recognize the buildings in front of him because of all the damage. He stood up and with shaky legs walked to the building. Once there, he pushed the door open and went inside. It was a public building owned by the city. It was empty, but Jason could hear noises further inside. He walked into the large room and saw his dad. He ran across the room and gave him a big hug. “Jason! How are you? I’ve been worried about you!” said his father. “I couldn’t find you anywhere!” Jason breathed a sigh of relief (松了一口气) and sat down. He did have a story to tell! ( ) 27. Where did Jason and his father want to go before the tornado came? A. To a supermarket. B. To an irrigation ditch. C. To a public building. D. To a field. ( ) 28. From Paragraph 1, we can get the ____ of the story. A. background B. development C. climax (most exciting part) D. ending ( ) 29. What does the underlined word “Debris” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Parts of the tornado. B. Apple pies. C. Broken pieces. D. Drops of rain. ( ) 30. Which of the following is the right order according to the text? ①Jason nervously looked around from the irrigation ditch. ②Jason ran across the room and gave his father a big hug. ③Jason got out of the car. ④Jason noticed a field to his right. A. ②①③④ B. ③④①② C. ④①②③ D. ③①②④ D ① We have many kinds of technologies now. Some around us can help people in disasters. ② The drone (无人机) is one of them. It can be used to send food, water and important things when a natural disaster happens. Very often the buildings are too dangerous for rescue teams to get in, but they can make the drone fly into the buildings to search for those who are still alive first. ③Social media (社交媒体) is a useful tool when it comes to natural disasters. With its help, people can know about the natural disasters earlier. And some social media platforms (平台) allow people to mark themselves safe after disasters so others can know their status (状况). Social media is also a place for the latest news, so people can learn what is going on in the disaster areas. Besides, many social media platforms allow people to donate money to help those in disaster areas. The money will help them get back to their normal life as soon as possible. For example, live-streaming (直播) helped raise a lot of money for Henan after the flood in 2021. ④ Although these technologies can help when there is a natural disaster, we still need to prepare necessary tools and learn important skills to protect ourselves. ( ) 31. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Buildings. B. New technologies. C. Rescue teams. D. Natural disasters. ( ) 32. Why does the writer mention live-streaming? A. To show people can tell others they are safe through social media. B. To show people can know the coming disaster on social media. C. To show social media can provide the latest news for people. D. To show social media can help raise money after a disaster. ( ) 33. What can we know from the text? A. The drone helped save a lot of people in Henan in 2021. B. The drone can help search for people who are still alive. C. All technologies can protect people from different disasters. D. We needn’t prepare tools for disasters with the help of new technologies. ( ) 34. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Some Ways About How to Protect Ourselves in Disasters B. Some Natural Disasters Which Are Harmful to People C. Some Methods That Can Protect the Environment D. Some Technologies That Can Help People in Disasters ( ) 35. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. ①//②③//④ B. ①②//③④ C. ①②//③//④ D. ①//②//③④ 四、任务型阅读(共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) Natural disasters are dangerous, but we can keep safe if we know some useful ways. 36 We must keep calm first. If we are too afraid, we may make wrong decisions and get into trouble. When an earthquake happens, follow the right steps. If you are indoors, stay away from windows, tall furniture or lamps. You can hide under a strong desk or table. 37 If you are outdoors, go to an open place quickly. Don’t stand near tall trees, houses or power lines. When it comes to floods, remember to move to higher ground at once. 38 Fast-moving water is very dangerous, and you may get washed away easily. Besides, you should listen to the government’s warnings and leave dangerous areas in time. For wildfires, you need to stay away from fire and smoke. 39 Try to run out of the fire area as soon as possible. 40 All in all, being careful and well-prepared is the key to keeping safe from natural disasters.
