三、阅读 (共两节, 满分35分)
第一节 (共15小题; 每小题2分, 满分30分)
阅读下列短文, 从短文后每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。
A
Monsoons (季风) are strong winds affecting the weather of several Asian countries. From April to October, the summer monsoon moves from the southwest to the northeast, starting in India and continuing through several Southeast Asian countries. In winter, the monsoon goes in the other direction.
Monsoons are caused by differences in land and sea air temperatures. In summer, India gets very hot. The air over the land is warmer than the air over the Indian Ocean. This draws air from the ocean towards the land. In winter, the situation is the opposite, and the ocean draws air from the land.
The summer monsoon brings a lot of rain to the area. The rain is very important to farmers. In contrast, the winter monsoon brings dry, sunny weather to the area.
( ) 31. What can cause monsoons?
A. The oceans and mountains of Asia.
B. Dry, sunny weather.
C. The rain of several Southeast Asian countries.
D. Differences in land and sea air temperatures.
( ) 32. Monsoons ________ in June.
A. move from the northeast to the southwest
B. are caused by warm air over the Indian Ocean
C. affect every Southeast Asian country
D. bring a lot of rain
( ) 33. The underlined phrase “In contrast” is used to show ________.
A. how the summer and winter monsoons are similar
B. the differences between the summer and winter monsoons
C. the best way to understand the winter monsoon
D. what happens during the summer monsoon
B
A tornado (龙卷风) is a kind of strong storm with air which moves in a circle quickly. They can move over 200 miles per hour and cause a lot of damage (损坏) . As they move across the land, they can easily pick up cars, trucks, and even houses, and then throw them very far. It is important to find a safe place if a tornado gets close. A safe place can be a basement (地下室) or the lowest floor. If you are in a house without a basement, try to find a first-floor bathroom or a small room without windows in the middle of your house. You should curl (蜷缩) into a ball and cover your head and neck with your hands.
But there are some people who actually want to get close to tornadoes. They are scientists who want to learn more about tornadoes. One of the best ways to do this is to get as close as possible to them. They use special tools to measure (测量) what is happening in and around a tornado.
One special tool is called a tornado probe (探测仪) . Inside the tornado probe, there are sensors (传感器) to measure the wind speed, temperature, pressure, and direction. Some probes even have cameras, so the scientists can see and understand what it’s like to be in a tornado.
To be able to get these measurements, the scientists have to get a tornado probe near or into a tornado. Scientists will try to guess where a tornado will go next. Then they drive to that location and put down the probe. If they do not guess correctly, they will pick up their probe and try another place. If they are right, the tornado will go near or even right over the probe. Then they will take all of the measurements from the probe and use them to predict where future tornadoes may form (形成) and travel. And they can give people some warnings to keep away from a dangerous tornado.
( ) 34. If a tornado gets close, what should people do to keep safe?
A. Go to a basement.
B. Find a big room.
C. Stay beside a building.
D. Find a small room with windows.
( ) 35. What can not the sensors in a probe do?
A. Measure the wind speed and temperature.
B. Take photos and videos.
C. Measure the wind temperature and pressure.
D. Measure the wind speed and direction.
( ) 36. The passage mainly tells us ________.
A. what a tornado is
B. how dangerous a tornado is
C. where a tornado may form and travel
D. how scientists do research work on tornadoes
( ) 37. You may find this passage in ________.
A. a novel B. a storybook
C. a guidebook D. a science magazine
C
Nature’s warnings
When the sky suddenly turns dark and the wind is strong, watch out! A dangerous storm might be coming. Storms are frightening. 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 for protection. It is not closed like a building, so it is not safe.
Even after you go indoors, be careful. It is not smart to go near doors or 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 would stay safe during a storm.
( ) 38. 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
( ) 39. The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.
A. a building B. a car
C. a shed D. a room
( ) 40. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. It’s safe to stay indoors to play computer games during a storm.
B. Reading books is as dangerous as using electrical things in a storm.
C. We should not wash our hands when a storm comes.
D. If a person is hit by lightning, you should move him or her to a safe place
immediately.
( ) 41. The best title for the passage is “________ ”.
A. Training Steps B. Home Rules
C. Natural Order D. Storm Safety
D
One Saturday Maria and I had a 30-mile bike ride. It seemed perfect. We started at 7:00 a.m. in the beautiful spring weather. At 10:30 a.m., when we stopped for a rest, we both felt wonderful. And then a brisk wind came. That was when our perfect day began to change.
By noon, we knew a serious thunderstorm was blowing our way. Dark clouds rolled up out of the southwest. A stinging wind burned our faces. There was no way to stay out of the storm. We would have to wait it out, but where?
Then things went from bad to worse. The temperature dropped suddenly. I looked up and saw the sky now turned dark green. Trees and crops were bent over by the wind. No animals were in sight.
Then a blue car stopped beside our bikes. The driver shouted, “Get in!” She looked frightened, and so did we. We did as she said. That was when the hail (冰雹) started. Ice, the size of golf balls, hit the windows of the car.
She drove fast to the north. Maria and I looked back at the black sky. Maria screamed, “A tornado (龙卷风)!” It was so close that I could see trees, doors, and all kinds of other things that this monster swallowed (吞).
My heart moved up to my throat and was beating so hard, and I thought it would jump out of my body. I had never been so frightened. We would never run faster than the tornado! The driver turned to us and said calmly, “There’s an overpass (立交桥) ahead. We’ll stay under it for protection.”
When we parked, we jumped out of the car and ran to the wall of the overpass. Before I could count to 20, there came a loud noise. It sounded like a train passing overhead. Then, suddenly, it was over. We had made it.
Soon we were all laughing with relief (轻松). We were shaken but excited. What a story I would have to tell at school.
( ) 42. What was the writer doing on the day of the tornado?
A. Resting at home. B. Playing outside.
C. Riding a bike. D. Driving a car.
( ) 43. What happened first when the tornado began?
A. Dark clouds rolled up. B. The hail came suddenly.
C. The temperature dropped. D. Animals ran out of sight.
( ) 44. What is the right order of the story?
① The woman drove to the overpass.
② Maria and I had a bike ride.
③ A thunderstorm was blowing our way.
④ Ice hit the windows of the car.
⑤ We got into a woman’s car.
A. ② - ③ - ① - ④ - ⑤ B. ② - ③ - ⑤ - ④ - ①
C. ③ - ① - ② - ⑤ - ④ D. ③ - ② - ① - ④ - ⑤

One possible version:
Last Saturday, a terrible storm hit Suzhou.
It was blowing hard and raining heavily outside. People couldn’t walk at all. It was getting dark. And there were several accidents because of this. A driver’s left leg was badly hurt in a traffic accident. Luckily, someone called 110 for help. The police took the driver to hospital.
I think when we are in trouble, we must calm down first. Then we should think about whom to ask for help and what to do to make things better.

阅读下列短文, 从短文后每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。
A
Monsoons (季风) are strong winds affecting the weather of several Asian countries. From April to October, the summer monsoon moves from the southwest to the northeast, starting in India and continuing through several Southeast Asian countries. In winter, the monsoon goes in the other direction.
Monsoons are caused by differences in land and sea air temperatures. In summer, India gets very hot. The air over the land is warmer than the air over the Indian Ocean. This draws air from the ocean towards the land. In winter, the situation is the opposite, and the ocean draws air from the land.
The summer monsoon brings a lot of rain to the area. The rain is very important to farmers. In contrast, the winter monsoon brings dry, sunny weather to the area.
( ) 31. What can cause monsoons?
A. The oceans and mountains of Asia.
B. Dry, sunny weather.
C. The rain of several Southeast Asian countries.
D. Differences in land and sea air temperatures.
( ) 32. Monsoons ________ in June.
A. move from the northeast to the southwest
B. are caused by warm air over the Indian Ocean
C. affect every Southeast Asian country
D. bring a lot of rain
( ) 33. The underlined phrase “In contrast” is used to show ________.
A. how the summer and winter monsoons are similar
B. the differences between the summer and winter monsoons
C. the best way to understand the winter monsoon
D. what happens during the summer monsoon
B
A tornado (龙卷风) is a kind of strong storm with air which moves in a circle quickly. They can move over 200 miles per hour and cause a lot of damage (损坏) . As they move across the land, they can easily pick up cars, trucks, and even houses, and then throw them very far. It is important to find a safe place if a tornado gets close. A safe place can be a basement (地下室) or the lowest floor. If you are in a house without a basement, try to find a first-floor bathroom or a small room without windows in the middle of your house. You should curl (蜷缩) into a ball and cover your head and neck with your hands.
But there are some people who actually want to get close to tornadoes. They are scientists who want to learn more about tornadoes. One of the best ways to do this is to get as close as possible to them. They use special tools to measure (测量) what is happening in and around a tornado.
One special tool is called a tornado probe (探测仪) . Inside the tornado probe, there are sensors (传感器) to measure the wind speed, temperature, pressure, and direction. Some probes even have cameras, so the scientists can see and understand what it’s like to be in a tornado.
To be able to get these measurements, the scientists have to get a tornado probe near or into a tornado. Scientists will try to guess where a tornado will go next. Then they drive to that location and put down the probe. If they do not guess correctly, they will pick up their probe and try another place. If they are right, the tornado will go near or even right over the probe. Then they will take all of the measurements from the probe and use them to predict where future tornadoes may form (形成) and travel. And they can give people some warnings to keep away from a dangerous tornado.
( ) 34. If a tornado gets close, what should people do to keep safe?
A. Go to a basement.
B. Find a big room.
C. Stay beside a building.
D. Find a small room with windows.
( ) 35. What can not the sensors in a probe do?
A. Measure the wind speed and temperature.
B. Take photos and videos.
C. Measure the wind temperature and pressure.
D. Measure the wind speed and direction.
( ) 36. The passage mainly tells us ________.
A. what a tornado is
B. how dangerous a tornado is
C. where a tornado may form and travel
D. how scientists do research work on tornadoes
( ) 37. You may find this passage in ________.
A. a novel B. a storybook
C. a guidebook D. a science magazine
C
Nature’s warnings
When the sky suddenly turns dark and the wind is strong, watch out! A dangerous storm might be coming. Storms are frightening. 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 for protection. It is not closed like a building, so it is not safe.
Even after you go indoors, be careful. It is not smart to go near doors or 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 would stay safe during a storm.
( ) 38. 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
( ) 39. The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.
A. a building B. a car
C. a shed D. a room
( ) 40. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. It’s safe to stay indoors to play computer games during a storm.
B. Reading books is as dangerous as using electrical things in a storm.
C. We should not wash our hands when a storm comes.
D. If a person is hit by lightning, you should move him or her to a safe place
immediately.
( ) 41. The best title for the passage is “________ ”.
A. Training Steps B. Home Rules
C. Natural Order D. Storm Safety
D
One Saturday Maria and I had a 30-mile bike ride. It seemed perfect. We started at 7:00 a.m. in the beautiful spring weather. At 10:30 a.m., when we stopped for a rest, we both felt wonderful. And then a brisk wind came. That was when our perfect day began to change.
By noon, we knew a serious thunderstorm was blowing our way. Dark clouds rolled up out of the southwest. A stinging wind burned our faces. There was no way to stay out of the storm. We would have to wait it out, but where?
Then things went from bad to worse. The temperature dropped suddenly. I looked up and saw the sky now turned dark green. Trees and crops were bent over by the wind. No animals were in sight.
Then a blue car stopped beside our bikes. The driver shouted, “Get in!” She looked frightened, and so did we. We did as she said. That was when the hail (冰雹) started. Ice, the size of golf balls, hit the windows of the car.
She drove fast to the north. Maria and I looked back at the black sky. Maria screamed, “A tornado (龙卷风)!” It was so close that I could see trees, doors, and all kinds of other things that this monster swallowed (吞).
My heart moved up to my throat and was beating so hard, and I thought it would jump out of my body. I had never been so frightened. We would never run faster than the tornado! The driver turned to us and said calmly, “There’s an overpass (立交桥) ahead. We’ll stay under it for protection.”
When we parked, we jumped out of the car and ran to the wall of the overpass. Before I could count to 20, there came a loud noise. It sounded like a train passing overhead. Then, suddenly, it was over. We had made it.
Soon we were all laughing with relief (轻松). We were shaken but excited. What a story I would have to tell at school.
( ) 42. What was the writer doing on the day of the tornado?

六、
One possible version:
Last Saturday, a terrible storm hit Suzhou.
It was blowing hard and raining heavily outside. People couldn’t walk at all. It was getting dark. And there were several accidents because of this. A driver’s left leg was badly hurt in a traffic accident. Luckily, someone called 110 for help. The police took the driver to hospital.
I think when we are in trouble, we must calm down first. Then we should think about whom to ask for help and what to do to make things better.
作文点评: 本篇作文采用“总分总法”描写了一次暴雨。首先交代了暴雨发生的时间和地点, 其次描写了在暴雨中自己的所见所闻, 包括天气状况、人们的行为和出现的事故等, 最后总结自己的感悟。本文的最大亮点是最后的感悟, 作者的思维并未停留在灾害本身的严重性上, 而是思考我们在面对突发的灾害时应该怎么做, 如calm down first、think about whom to ask for help、what to do to make things better 等, 提升了整篇文章的质量。
