主题语境04 人与自然-灾害防范
(25-26高一上·云南昭通第一中学教研联盟·期中)In 2025, many natural disasters happened around the world. Among them, three disasters were very destructive and had big impacts.
Typhoon Dante in the Philippines
On July 23, 2025, a strong typhoon named Dante hit the central part of the Philippines. It brought very heavy rain and strong winds of up to 180 km/h. This led to large floods and landslides. By the end of July, reports showed that at least 30 people died and 12 people were missing. The typhoon destroyed 8,000 homes and affected about 5.29 million people. It was one of the worst typhoons to hit the country this year.
Earthquake in Turkey
On the early morning of November 6, 2025, a powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake hit southern Turkey. It started near the city of Antakya, only 7 km underground. This shallow depth made the shaking much stronger. Many buildings, roads, and power lines fell down in several cities. By the end of November, more than 5,000 people had died and nearly 20,000 were hurt. Turkey has many earthquakes because it is located where several of the earth's plates meet.
Wildfires in Australia
In mid-November 2025, during Australia’s summer, major bushfires started in a national park in Victoria. The fires were started by lightning and quickly spread to nearby areas. Very hot weather (over 40℃ for 8 days), strong winds (up to 70 km/h), and dry conditions made the fires much worse. In three weeks, the fires had burned about 76,000 hectares of land. They destroyed 4 houses and 40 farm buildings, and killed hundreds of wild animals. Several people were hurt, and over 500 people had to leave their homes. The air in nearby cities was very bad to breathe for more than a week.

主题语境04 人与自然-灾害防范
(25-26高一上·云南昭通第一中学教研联盟·期中)In 2025, many natural disasters happened around the world. Among them, three disasters were very destructive and had big impacts.
Typhoon Dante in the Philippines
On July 23, 2025, a strong typhoon named Dante hit the central part of the Philippines. It brought very heavy rain and strong winds of up to 180 km/h. This led to large floods and landslides. By the end of July, reports showed that at least 30 people died and 12 people were missing. The typhoon destroyed 8,000 homes and affected about 5.29 million people. It was one of the worst typhoons to hit the country this year.
Earthquake in Turkey
On the early morning of November 6, 2025, a powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake hit southern Turkey. It started near the city of Antakya, only 7 km underground. This shallow depth made the shaking much stronger. Many buildings, roads, and power lines fell down in several cities. By the end of November, more than 5,000 people had died and nearly 20,000 were hurt. Turkey has many earthquakes because it is located where several of the earth's plates meet.
Wildfires in Australia
In mid-November 2025, during Australia’s summer, major bushfires started in a national park in Victoria. The fires were started by lightning and quickly spread to nearby areas. Very hot weather (over 40℃ for 8 days), strong winds (up to 70 km/h), and dry conditions made the fires much worse. In three weeks, the fires had burned about 76,000 hectares of land. They destroyed 4 houses and 40 farm buildings, and killed hundreds of wild animals. Several people were hurt, and over 500 people had to leave their homes. The air in nearby cities was very bad to breathe for more than a week.
1.When did Typhoon Dante hit the Philippines?
A. July 23, 2025.
B. July 30, 2025.
C. November 6, 2025.
D. Mid-December 2025.
2.Which of the following is true about the Australian wildfires?
A. 12 people went missing.
B. The fires lasted for one day.
C. More than 5,000 people had died.
D. Over 500 people had to leave their homes.

Written by Rachel Carson, Silent Spring has been described as a landmark work of environmental writing. It focuses on the effects of pesticides (杀虫剂) on the environment, especially DDT, which was finally outlawed in 1972. The book led to a change in the United States pesticide policy (Ex) and played a key role in the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a governmental organization in the US.
The End of Nature (1989)
The End of Nature describes the relationship between nature and humans. It expresses the idea that nature has now been influenced by humans in every way. According to author Bill McKibben, the idea of wilderness is lost, and nature is no longer intact. McKibben says that we need to change how we view and interact with nature.
Braiding Sweetgrass (2013)
Braiding Sweetgrass, written by Robin Wall Kimmerer, looks at the relationship between humans and the land. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, Kimmerer ties lessons she learned from her culture and history to Western society’s view of plants and tries to show the importance plants and animals have in our world. Braiding Sweetgrass won the 2014 Sigurd F. Olson Nature Writing Award (SONWA).
The Uninhabitable Earth (2019)
This book by David Wallace-Wells provides a close look at how we treat the Earth and how our actions will shape both our own future and that of the planet. The Uninhabitable Earth looks ahead to the year 2100 and states that present actions will not be enough to avoid the effects of climate change.
