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。

A

The earthquake happened at 4:31 a.m. on January 17th,1994 in Los Angeles.I was suddenly woken up and thrown out of bed.Power was already out and the only way out was to step on broken glass and trip over broken bricks.I held my son and we managed to get out of the building from the sixth floor.

Though we made it outside alive,we were badly injured.We were bruised badly as this quake was a shallow one which is the worst type because it threw everything up and down.We looked as if we were physically beaten by someone.The ligaments (韧带) in my feet were torn from falling and my right foot swelled (肿胀) up to the thickness of my neck!I was so frightened then that I felt little pain until about 45 minutes later!

It was noisy outside and all people were in great fear.After the earthquake,it wasn’t until days and weeks later that people started going back home.We were afraid another one might come.For us,we went back inside after about a week.The whole apartment was in a big mess and we had to dig our way back inside.

Later we learnt from TV reports that the earthquake killed about 64 people that morning.It would have been worse if it happened just a bit later!

Though we had some earthquake insurance,we never fully recovered everything,but that was not what I really cared about,after the earthquake.The earthquake made me realise that life can change so quickly in a moment.I decided to live every day to the fullest after the earthquake.Now I treasure every day that I spend with my family.

语篇导读:本文是一篇记叙文,记叙了作者亲身经历的一次地震。阅读本文,有利于学生增强对自然灾害——地震的认识。

答案及剖析:

21.C　细节理解题。本题考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据第二段最后一句可知,作者是因为害怕所以刚开始没有感觉到疼痛。故选C。

22.B　细节理解题。本题考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据文章第三段中的“After the earthquake,it wasn’t ... another one might come.”可知,人们都不敢立即回家。故选B。

23.D　主旨大意题。本题考查学生理解文本主旨要义的能力。本文主要讲述的是作者经历的一次地震,关键词是地震和经历。故选D。

B

Dust storms don’t just happen in the middle of the desert.They happen in any dry area where loose dirt can easily be picked up.The sand blown into the air by the wind usually falls back down to the ground after a few hours.Smaller bits of particles (微粒) stay in the air for a week or longer and can be blown thousands of miles away.Dust from the Sahara is always blown across the Atlantic and keeps travelling as far as Caribbean.

The scary thing about sandstorm is that they can spread over hundreds of miles and rise over 10,000 feet (305 metres).They also have wind speeds of at least 25 miles per hour (40 km).Not strong enough to blow the feathers off a chicken but still something worth avoiding.

Don’t be surprised if you suddenly see a dust storm heading your way.Dust storms usually arrive without warning and move in the form of a big wall of dust.The dust makes driving impossible.Often they only last for a few minutes but storms usually leave serious car accidents behind.If you are in a car during a dust storm,remind the driver to pull over and turn off the headlights.

In mild (轻微的) dust storms,it’s still impossible to walk around although you wouldn’t want to.You can’t see anything because of the dust particles flying around.It’s not just the dust you want to avoid.The wind carrying the dust will leave things as if they were just hit by a tornado.The best thing is to find a safe place in a building.

24.What can we know from Paragraph 1?

A.Sand blown into the air can float for months.

B.Dust storms don’t happen in the heart of the desert.

C.Dust blown into the air can travel a very long distance.

D.Smaller bits of particles stay in the air for only a few hours.

25.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?

A.The speed of the wind. 

B.The harm of dust storms.

C.The movement of dust. 

D.The power of dust storms.

26.What should a driver do when he is caught in a dust storm?

A.Stop by the roadside. 

B.Slow down a little bit.

C.Turn on the headlights. 

D.Drive along the side of the road.

27.Which of the following statements is TRUE when the dust storm is not strong?

A.You should find a safe shelter. 

B.You can walk around as usual.

C.There is no need to avoid dust. 

D.People can see everything clearly.

语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了沙尘暴的一些性质,以及遇到沙尘暴时的应对措施。阅读本文,有利于学生增强对自然灾害的认识。

答案及剖析:

24.C　推理判断题。本题考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据第一段的“Smaller bits of particles (微粒) stay in the air for a week or longer and can be blown thousands of miles away.”可知,较小的粒子在空中待一个星期或更长时间,然后可以被吹到数千英里之外。故选择C项。

25.D　段落大意题。本题考查学生理解段落主旨要义的能力。根据第二段的主要内容可知,沙尘暴的可怕之处在于,它可以蔓延数百英里,上升到1万英尺(305米)以上。故可知本段主要讲述的是沙尘暴的威力,此题易误选A项,但A项说的是“风的速度”,而不是“沙尘暴的速度”,故选择D 项。

26.A　细节理解题。本题考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据第三段的“If you are in a car during a dust storm,remind the driver to pull over and turn off the headlights.”可知如果沙尘暴袭来,你正在车里,提醒司机靠边停车并关掉前灯。故选择A项。

27.A　细节理解题。本题考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据最后一段的“In mild (轻微的) dust storms,...The best thing is to find a safe place in a building.”可知沙尘暴没那么强时,最好的办法是在建筑物里找一个安全的地方。故选择A项。

C

I don’t think I can recall a time when I wasn’t aware of the beauty of the ocean.Growing up in Australia,I had the good fortune of having the sea at my side.The first time I went to Halfmoon Bay,I suddenly had the feeling of not being able to feel the ground with my feet anymore.

For my 10th birthday,my sister and I were taken out to the Great Barrier Reef.There were fish in different colours,caves and layers of coral.They made such an impression on me.When I learned that only 1 percent of Australian’s Coral Sea was protected,I was shocked.Australian marine life is particularly important because the reefs have more marine species than any other country on earth.But sadly,only 45 percent of the world’s reefs are considered healthy.

This statistic is depressing,so it’s important for us to do everything to protect them.The hope that the Coral Sea remains a complete eco-system has led me to take action.I’ve become involved with the Protect Our Coral Sea activity,which aims to create the largest marine park in the world.It would serve as a place where the

 ocean’s species will all have a safe place forever.

Together,Angus and I created a little video and we hope it will inspire people to be a part of the movement.Angus also shares many beautiful childhood memories of the ocean as a young boy,who grew up sailing,admiring the beauty of the ocean,and trying to find the secrets of ocean species.

28.From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1,we can learn the author 　　　. 

A.seldom went surfing at the sea

B.forgot his experiences about the ocean

C.never went back to his hometown

D.had a wonderful impression of Halfmoon Bay

29.According to the second paragraph,Australian marine life 　　　. 

A.is escaping from the Coral Sea gradually

B.depends on reefs for living greatly

C.may be faced with danger

D.is protected better than that in other oceans

30.The Protect Our Coral Sea activity is intended to 　　　. 

A.contribute to a complete eco-system

B.prevent more marine species being endangered

C.set up a large nature reserve for reefs

D.raise more teenagers’ environmental awareness

31.Angus and the author created a little video to 　　　. 

A.urge more people to take action to protect the marine species

B.inspire more people to explore the secret of the ocean

C.share their childhood experiences about the ocean

D.bring back to people their memories of ocean species

语篇导读:本文是一篇议论文。文章主要向我们介绍了澳大利亚的海洋生物正面临着巨大的危机,作者为此做了一些努力,他和朋友拍摄了一些视频去激励人们采取行动保护海洋生物。阅读本文,有利于培养学生关爱海洋生态的意识。

答案及剖析:

28.D　句意猜测题。本题考查学生在具体语境中推测句意的能力。根据第一段中的“I

don’t think I can recall a time when I wasn’t aware of the beauty of the ocean.”和“I had the good fortune of having the sea at my side.”可知,作者认为大海很美,自己很幸运能经常看到海,故画线句应是对半月湾的赞美。故选D项。

29.C　推理判断题。本题考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据第二段中的“When I learned that only 1 percent of Australian’s Coral Sea was protected,I was shocked.”可知,只有1%的澳大利亚珊瑚海受到保护,故推断澳大利亚的海洋生物的生命可能面临危险。故选C项。

30.B　推理判断题。本题考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据第三段中的

“I’ve become involved with the Protect Our Coral Sea activity...ocean’s species will all have a safe place forever.”可推知,这项活动的目的是创造一个为海洋生物提供永久安全的地方,阻止更多的海洋物种灭绝。故选B项。

31.A　细节理解题。本题考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据第四段中的“Together,Angus and I created a little video and we hope it will inspire people to be a part of the movement.”可知,拍摄视频是为了激励人们去采取行动保护海洋生物。故选A项。

D

When the sand began kicking up and hitting our faces,I started to worry that maybe we had made a mistake.

That afternoon,my dad had stood on the deck (屋后供休息的木制平台) of our home and laughed as our neighbours packed up their cars and headed inland.They left to spend the night in hotels or at friends’ homes that were out of range of the approaching summer storm.

Challenging the weather that threatened to damp our spirits,we lit a fire on the beach.Dad told jokes and we had a good time.When it was 6:30 p.m.,all laughter disappeared.Our eyes were drawn to the sky.A tornado (龙卷风) was heading straight to us!In a flash,we were all on our feet.The wind started screaming and now we were running to the cottage.My mum stopped next to the front door.“Where can we go?” she shouted at my dad.

Most cottages on this part of Lake Michigan had been built without basements.Ours was no exception.The huge windows and the cottage itself wouldn’t offer safety from high wind.

“Follow me!” my dad yelled.We crawled(爬) beneath the deck,pressing ourselves against the foundation of the cottage.Between the deck supports,we watched the approaching storm in silent terror.

My dad shouted,“Hold on!”and something else I couldn’t hear over the screaming wind.By the time it reached our cottage,it was nothing more than a strong wind.The rest of the storm lasted for an hour and then simply blew away.

“Next time,we’ll stay inland at Grandma’s.Okay?” my dad said.

32.What did the family do before the storm came?

A.They left the hotels. 

B.They packed up the cars.

C.They stayed on the beach. 

D.They visited their neighbours.

33.What was the family’s immediate action when they saw the tornado approach?

A.Closing their eyes tightly. 

B.Standing in silent terror.

C.Crawling on the ground. 

D.Running away at once.

34.Where did the family stay in the storm?

A.Under a deck.   B.In a basement.

C.Inside the car. D.Behind a door.

35.What can be the best title for the text?

A.Life on the Beach 

B.An Unusual Cottage

C.Surviving a Storm 

D.My Admirable Family

语篇导读:这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者一家人外出,在沙滩遭遇了龙卷风,最后得以脱险的故事。阅读本文,有利于提高学生对自然灾害的认识。

答案及剖析:

32.C　细节理解题。本题考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据第三段中的“...we lit a fire on the beach...A tornado was heading straight to us!”可知,当龙卷风到来时作者一家人正在沙滩上。故选C项。

33.D　细节理解题。本题考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据第三段中的“In a flash,we were all on our feet.The wind started screaming and now we were running to the cottage.”可知,龙卷风一来,作者一家人就开始跑。故选D项。

34.A　细节理解题。本题考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据第五段中的“Between the deck supports,we watched the approaching storm in silent terror.”可知,作者一家人躲在了屋后供休息的木制平台下面,故选A项。

35.C　主旨大意题。本题考查学生理解文本主旨要义的能力。本文主要讲述了作者一家人遭遇龙卷风,最后成功脱险的故事。所以Surviving a Storm为最佳题目。故选C项。

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)

阅读下面的短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

You might take a car,a bus,or a bike to school.But in Bangladesh,instead of waiting for a school bus to come down their street,many students wait for a school boat to come down the river.That’s right—these students attend school on a boat!

Bangladesh is very close to sea level.36.　　　 The flooding creates many problems.For the nearly 160 million people living there the periodic flooding means that they are often unable to access roads,electricity,or telephones. 

Growing up in Bangladesh,Mohammed Rezwan was often troubled by these disruptions(破坏).37.　　　 The name means “self-reliance (自力更生).” The purpose of the organisation is to help the people of Bangladesh receive an education and also to bring technology and an improved quality of life to poor people in remote areas of the country.In 2002,Rezwan began transforming boats into schools.Each boat was built to house between 30 and 35 students.The boats had everything you might find in a regular classroom.The only difference was that they floated on a river. 

38.　　　 Today Rezwan and his organisation operate 88 boats in northern Bangladesh.About half the boats are used as schools,and the other half are used as temporary houses during the flood season.In addition to the schools and the temporary housing,there are also a floating technology and training centre,a library that allows students to check out books,and a health-care centre.The school boats travel along the rivers and pick up students for classes that include computer technology,agriculture,and human rights. 

At night the boats provide additional learning opportunities for students and adults.39.　　　 They study using solar lamps that are charged during the day at stations near the river.Special equipment on the boats also projects lessons onto big screens made from sailcloth.People can come down to the river bank to watch films.In all,these boats help educate close to 90,000 families in Bangladesh. 

By floating down the rivers,the school boats provide more than books.

40.　　　“This ‘library’ boat inspired me,” said 18-year-old student Shanto Islam,who enjoys reading science fiction books.“I started to dream.” Islam now wants to attend a university. 

A.They also deliver knowledge,opportunity,and hope to all generations.

B.For this reason the land is flooded for five months of every year.

C.Parents living in the area are happy to have the boats.

D.In 1998 he founded an organisation called Shidhulai.

E.He did not want to design houses,though.

F.Both of them can attend evening courses.

G.These boats have been a great success.

语篇导读:本文是一篇记叙文。孟加拉国是一个靠近海域的国家,因此该国每年有五个月左右有洪水发生。Rezwan和他的组织提供了船只,为这个国家解决了很多的问题。阅读本文,有利于培养学生助人为乐的意识。

答案及剖析:

36.B　本题考查学生理解篇章段内句间衔接关系的能力。上文提示“孟加拉国非常接近海平面”,再根据空格下文“洪水造成了许多问题”,承接上下文,B项For this reason the land is flooded for five months of every year.切题。该项中的flooded和下文中的flooding相对应。故选B项。

37.D　本题考查学生理解篇章段内句间衔接关系的能力。下文提示“这个名字意思是自力更生”,承接下文,D项In 1998 he founded an organisation called Shidhulai.切题。该项中的Shidhulai与下文的The name相吻合。故选D项。

38.G　本题考查学生理解段落主题句与段内衔接关系的能力。下文提示“现在,Rezwan和他的组织在孟加拉国北部经营着88艘船”。本段讲述了这些船的巨大作用,G项These boats have been a great success.承接下文,切题。故选G项。

39.F　本题考查学生理解篇章段内句间衔接关系的能力。上文提示“晚上,这些船为学生和成年人提供了额外的学习机会”,承接上文,F项Both of them can attend evening courses.切题。该项中的Both of them指的就是上文中的students and adults。故选F项。

40.A　上文提示“学校的船顺流而下,提供的不仅仅是书本”,承接上文,A项They also deliver knowledge,opportunity,and hope to all generations.切题。故选A项。

第三部分　语言运用(共两节,满分30分)

The man recalled,“As I looked around the plane,I could see nearly all the 　45　 were scared.Then I suddenly saw a little girl.Obviously,the storm 　46　 nothing to her.She was reading a book on her seat and everything within her small world was orderly.Sometimes she closed her eyes,then she would read again.Sometimes she straightened her legs,but worry and 　47　 were not in her world.” 

The man could 　48　 believe his eyes.It was not surprising,　49　,that when the plane finally reached its destination and all the passengers were hurrying to 　50　 the plane,the man came up to the girl whom he had 　51　 for such a long time.Having talked about the storm,he asked why she had not been afraid. 

The little girl replied,“That was because my dad was the pilot,and he would take me home.”

There are many kinds of 　52　 that frighten us.Physical,mental,financial,

domestic,and many other storms can easily and quickly 　53　 our sky and throw our plane into apparently uncontrollable movement.We have all known such times,and let us be honest and accept:it is much 　54　 to be at rest when our feet are on the ground than 　55　 we are being tossed about in a darkened sky.

[文章脉络]

答案及剖析:

41.C　根据空后的“when the sign on the airplane 　　　 on:Fasten Your Seat Belts”可知,此处指“一个警报”。故选C项。 

42.A　根据空前的“when the sign on the airplane”可知当时飞机上的警报灯闪烁。故选A项。

43.A　根据后文“As I looked around the plane,I could see nearly all the 　　　 were scared.”可知,听到警报后,大家都很担心。故选A项。 

44.B　句意为:闪电照亮了黑暗的天空,不一会儿,这架大飞机就开始颠簸。within moments意为“不一会儿”。故选B项。

45.A　根据前文内容可知,这名男子当时是在飞机上,所以他周围都是乘客。故选A项。

46.C　根据空后的“She was reading a book on her seat and everything within her small world was orderly.”可知,这名男子发现有一个小女孩在镇定自若地看书,显然暴风雨对于小女孩来说没有什么。故选C项。

47.A　根据空前的“Sometimes she closed her eyes,then she would read again.Sometimes she straightened her legs...”可知,小女孩的世界里没有担忧和恐惧。故选A项。

48.C　这名男子对小女孩镇定自若的样子感到吃惊,所以他几乎不相信自己的眼睛。故选

C项。

49.B　前文说这名男子不敢相信自己的眼睛,再根据后文“the man came up to the girl”和“asked why she had not been afraid”可知,男子去问女孩为何不害怕。因为不相信自己的眼睛,所以去问女孩,前后为因果关系。故选B项。

50.D　根据语境可知,飞机着陆后,吓坏的乘客应是赶紧下飞机。get off the plane意为“下飞机”,故选D项。

51.A　根据上文可知,这名男子对小女孩的行为感到很震惊,应是对小女孩观察了很久。故选A项。

52.C　根据下文中的“many other storms”可知,作者感悟有很多暴风雨会吓坏我们。故选C项。

53.C　根据下文中的“being tossed about in a darkened sky”可知,暴风雨会让我们的天空乌云密布。故选C项。

54.A　55.B　根据上下文语境可知,生活不是一帆风顺的,当我们的脚在地上时,比我们被抛掷在黑暗的天空中保持平静要容易得多。

第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)

阅读下面的短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Living beside an active volcano (火山) means that small earthquakes are not unusual.Everybody here 56.　　　　(know) what they feel like,and they come as no surprise 57.　　　　 the local people.For me,they’re a little different,though. 

What do you do when there’s an earthquake?Most people would try to leave the building.I live on 58.　　　　 third floor of a flat with several more stores above me—nobody wants 59.　　　　(trap) under that after an earthquake.I guess,if an earthquake came,I would probably just panic rather than think about what I need to do,such as hiding somewhere or 60.　　　　(run) out of the building. 

I had never felt an earthquake until last week.There was a small earthquake

61.　　　　could hardly even be called an earthquake.I was not really 62.　　　　(frighten).To feel the earth moving like that was just strange.Of course,it

63.　　　　(last) only a few seconds.I have spoken to the local people since the event and 64.　　　　(luck),there were no injuries or damage 65.　　　　(do) by it.But if it had been a real earthquake,I think I would have felt quite differently. 

语篇导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章描述了住在火山附近的人与外地人对火山引发的小地震的不同感受。阅读本文,有利于增强学生对自然灾害的认识。

答案及剖析:

56.knows　本题考查谓语动词。根据前后文可知应用一般现在时。第三人称单数在动词后

加s。

57.to　本题考查介词。to意为 “对于”。对当地人来说“来得不稀奇,发生在意料之中”。

58.the　本题考查冠词。序数词前应用定冠词限定,故填the。

59.to be trapped　本题考查非谓语动词。want后跟带to的不定式作宾语,因trap与nobody之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,故填to be trapped。

60.running　本题考查非谓语动词。与hiding somewhere并列作such as的宾语,故填running。

61.that/which　本题考查关系代词。限制性定语从句修饰先行词earthquake,关系代词在从句中作主语,故填that/which。

62.frightened　本题考查形容词。表示“人受惊吓的”,用frightened。

63.lasted　本题考查动词时态。由语境可知,此处描述的是发生在上周的事情,用一般过

去时。

64.luckily　本题考查词性转换。作状语修饰分句there were no injuries...by it,用副词luckily。

65.done　本题考查非谓语动词。作后置定语修饰injuries or damage,因do与injuries or damage之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,故填done。

第二节(满分25分)

阅读下面的短文,根据其内容用英语写一篇60个词左右的内容概要。

How many of us could go a week without our cell phone?Do you even bother to memorise phone numbers any more?Technology has made life so convenient for us.However,we have to face facts:Technology has made us lazy and dependent.

What’s the point of getting up,taking a shower,getting dressed,and driving to the movies when you can just sit on the couch and fire up TV? We’ve all been there before.You’re on the fence about whether or not you want to get out and do something,but then something comes over you.You start looking around at your smart phone and laptop,then realise you can have just as much fun staying in the house.

Is it even possible to get lost anymore? I get the feeling that we’re getting closer and closer to the day when people won’t even be able to read paper maps anymore.There are already a lot of young adults that have no idea how to navigate (导航) through their own cities without using a BDS.Being able to print out complete turn by turn directions for where you need to go on a map app pretty much killed the need for a map.

We have all searched something that we were completely embarrassed we

didn’t know the answer to.According to search engine,“How to tie a tie” gets over 500,000 searches a month.Exactly,a quick search on search engine will bring up instructional videos,blog posts,and PDFs that show you how to do anything.So much for being self sufficient.

Running errands (跑腿) used to take up entire Saturday mornings.By the time you got home,you were tired and just wanted to relax.Well thanks to online shopping and services,running your own errands is a thing of the past.

I’m definitely part of the problem here because I love online shopping.But I can admit that it has made me somewhat lazy.
