People Named After the Earthquake in Tangshan
Even though Yang Zhensheng has no memories of his own of the 1976 Tangshan earthquake that flattened his hometown shortly before his birth, the disaster will forever be part of his life — he is named after① it.
In his given name, “zhen” means earthquake and “sheng” means birth. He was the first baby born in the rubble of② Tangshan, after the 7.8 magnitude earthquake which claimed③ more than 242,000 lives on July 28, 1976.
Chinese parents commonly mark historical④ events in the name of their children. In memory of⑤ the 1976 Tangshan earthquake, many of those have the Chinese character “zhen” in their given names.Zhensheng and Kangzhen (earthquake resistant) are among the most common.
“We didn't experience the horror ourselves, but it left a permanent⑥ mark on us,” Yang said.
Perhaps due to his link to the disaster, after graduation Yang went to work in the local Civil Affairs Bureau, the department in charge of⑦ disaster relief, and has been head of the Tangshan sanatorium for paraplegia for more than 10 years.
The powerful⑧ earthquake more than 40 years ago left 3,817 survivors paraplegic, more than 800 of whom are still alive.In the sanatorium, patients receive free treatment, food and accommodations, as well as living allowances.“Born on the day of the tragedy, I'm happy to care for them,” Yang said.
The children of the Tangshan earthquake, born among the rubble and squalor, have been taught the true meaning of gratitude by their parents.

由唐山大地震得名的人
对于把他的家乡夷为平地的1976年唐山大地震,杨震生并没有印象——他是在地震不久后出生的。然而,他的身上却有地震带来的抹不去的印记,伴随他的一生——他的名字就因地震而来。
他的名字,“震”即是地震,“生”是出生。1976年7月28日,唐山发生7.8级大地震,约有24.2万人丧生,他是震后在唐山废墟中出生的第一个婴儿。
中国父母通常以历史事件为参照为孩子取名。为纪念1976年唐山大地震,许多孩子名字中带有“震”字。“震生”和“抗震”是地震婴儿中最普遍的名字。
杨震生说:“我们并未亲历这场灾难,但它却给我们留下了永远的印记。”
也许正是由于他与地震的渊源,毕业后,杨震生就到当地负责灾难救援的民政局工作。他担任唐山市截瘫疗养院院长已经10多年了。
40多年前的那场大地震导致3 817人截瘫,如今有800多人尚在人世。在疗养院里,他们的治疗、吃住费用全免,并且都有生活补贴。杨震生说:“作为地震后出生的孩子,能够照顾这些不幸的长辈们,我很乐意。”
唐山地震时期在废墟中出生的孩子,已经从父母那里学会了感恩的真正含义。

四、语篇阅读训练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Having lived in California until 1970, my family has felt a number of earthquakes. We have been fortunate, however, to have suffered no bodily harm or property damage.
There is a website that lists all California earthquakes recorded from 1769 to the present. The site lists the dates and times as well as the magnitude (震级) and the exact location of any quake that measured more than 6.0.There are only a few quakes that stand out in my memory and, luckily, none is shown in the website. So, my personal experience with earthquakes might be considered insignificant.
There are three earthquakes that are difficult to forget. The first one was in 1955 and our oldest daughter was walking with me in our backyard in Redwood City in California. As the shaking became stronger I held her to me with one arm as I held on to one of our fruit trees with the other. All three of us (my daughter, I and the tree) shook for two or three minutes that to us felt like hours.
The second one was in 1963. Our entire family was visiting Disneyland in Southern California. The earth started to shake just as we were beginning to walk from our hotel toward the_famous_landmark.
My third experience with an earthquake was a lonely one in California. It was in my sixties and I was alone in an old church. As the building started to shake, I quickly headed for the door to go outside. I remember I said a little prayer — something like, “Help me get out of here in time, Dear Heavenly Father”.Minutes later, I was safe outside.

2.The earthquakes the author has experienced ________.

3.What does the underlined part “the famous landmark” refer to?
A.A church.

A.It happened in the author's sixties.
B.The author succeeded in getting outside.
C.When it happened, the author was in a church.
D.The author was too afraid to walk when it happened.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据“I quickly headed for the door to go outside.”可知作者很快就跑出去了。故D项符合题意。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
根据短文内容,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。
Everybody has some goals in life. If you are not acting in a way that will help you achieve those goals, your confidence may be less. __1__
Take real action.
Lack of action. Watching TV isn't an action. Eating isn't an action, too. __2__ It can be a side hustle, a hobby ... Something that you want! Of course, when you set goals for life, you should be able to put them together, and make practical goals.
__3__
If you aren't proud of yourself, how can't you be in low spirits. The quickest way to overcome your situation is to win more often. Both are strong hormones (荷尔蒙) that push you to do more. __4__ You'll get more confidence from winning. This is how you get started — win.
Face up to true selves.
We should know ourselves very well and judge ourselves fairly. Instead of thinking about your own physical imperfections, or always comparing yourself with others' advantages, you should believe that you have bright spots, and that everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. __5__ If we would just accept and trust ourselves, confidence might be much stronger.
A.A real action is something that you want.
B.Calm down and think positively.

G.High confidence comes with pride.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了怎样增强自信心。
1.选D 每个人都有一些生活目标,如果你没有找到能帮助你实现那些目标的方法,你的自信会减少。根据文章结构可知,空格处起承上启下的作用,本段提出“寻求自信”这一话题,进而引出下文,故D项正确。
2.选A 本段主要谈“采取真正的行动”,根据空格前两句可知,此处解释“真正的行动是什么”,故A项正确。
3.选G 根据本段的关键词proud和confidence可知,本段的主题与自信和自豪有关。故G项正确。
4.选F 根据空格前两句句意“要想克服困难,最快的方法就是多赢。强烈的荷尔蒙会推动你做出更多的努力”和后一句句意“你会从取胜中获得更多自信”可知,此处是起到连接作用,F项中承接上文“多赢”,连接下文“从取胜中获得更多自信”,故F项正确。
5.选E 根据本段主题句“Face up to true selves.”可知,此段主要是谈要面对真实的自我,每人都有自己的优点和缺点,此处表示“完美无缺的人是不存在的”,故E项正确。

二、语篇阅读训练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
If the crust (外壳) of the earth were not pretty solid (坚固的), it would be shaking about and moving up and down frequently. However, there are places in the rocks of the earth's crust where it isn't strongly held together — where faults exist. Along the faults, one rock might push against another with great force. The energy is changed to vibration in the rocks, so they begin to shake and we have an earthquake!
The most famous one in North America was the San Francisco earthquake of 1906.Seven hundred people died and property (财产) damage amounted to about $425,000,000.The greatest destruction came from the fires that followed the quake.
One of the most famous earthquakes in Europe took place in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1755.The city was destroyed and at least thirty thousand people were killed. In 1908, in Calabria and Sicily, a quake killed about seventyfive thousand people. In 1915, in central Italy, hundreds of towns and villages were damaged and thirty thousand people were killed.
Two great earthquakes that caused great damage in Asia took place in Tokyo, Japan, and in Gansu Province in China. The Tokyo quake of 1923 killed more than one hundred thousand people and destroyed the city and the city of Yokohama, too. The Chinese quake in 1920 covered more than three hundred square miles and killed about two hundred thousand people.

Many people think that English writing is difficult. __1__ Here are some great writing tips that will help you improve your writing in a short time.
Don't ramble (长篇大论). This is a very common mistake made by people who have poor writing skills. When they ramble, they are not paying attention to grammar. As a result, their sentences become very long. __2__ If you know you have poor grammar, use short sentences.
__3__ Think about each sentence carefully to make sure that it is correct before moving on. It's better to write a short passage that is easy to read and errorfree than to write a long article that is filled with grammar errors.
Increase your vocabulary. If you don't have a large vocabulary, you will find it difficult to write as you can't find right words to express (表达) yourself clearly. The solution (解决办法) to this problem is to increase your vocabulary. __4__ You can do this by reading the local daily newspapers, borrowing books from the library or watching English programs.
Don't write when you are tired. Tiredness can lead to nothing to write. If you find yourself looking at a blank piece of paper with nothing to write, don't just sit there! Take a walk or a warm shower, or simply lie down to get some rest. __5__ You'll find that you'll enjoy your writing a lot more and make fewer mistakes!
A.Find out the mistakes you've made.
B.Make sure your sentences are correct.
C.You can pick up new words almost anywhere.
D.Write what interests you most in the beginning.
E.As a result, they may give up after trying hard for a while.
F.The longer the sentences are, the more mistakes they'll make.
G.When your mind is relaxed, you should go back to your writing.
语篇解读:本文是说明文。文章给出了提高写作水平的几条技巧。
1.选E 上一句提到了很多人认为英语写作很难,而这种想法的结果是他们努力尝试一段时间后也许就放弃了。
2.选F 该空前后内容都在围绕“句子”展开,选项B和F中都有sentences,再结合该空前一句中的“their sentences become very long”可知,应选F。
3.选B 该空为该段的主题句,根据该段中出现的“correct”, “errorfree”, “grammar errors”可知,该段内容与句子的正确性有关,故选B。
4.选C 该段内容围绕词汇量展开,七个选项中提到单词的是C项,再根据该空后一句可知,C项“你几乎可以在任何地方学到新单词”正确。
5.选G 该空前一句内容与如何放松有关,再根据该空下一句可知,本空为过渡句,承接上文的“放松”和下文的“动手写作”。

二、课时专项技能强化
[听力技法微指导]
推理计算,确定时间
听力测试中经常涉及时间的考查,此时,在听力材料中通常会出现多个时间信息。答题时应注意不要直接选取首次听到的时间词,而应把录音听完,注意其中隐含的时间信息词、时间状语或句子的时态。最终的答案通常是对这些信息进行分析推断,特别是经过简单计算后得出的。
[典例1] What time does the train leave?
A.At 6:15. B.At 6:25. C.At 6:50.
[听力原文]
M:I'm afraid we'll miss the train. What time is it now?
W:It's 6:15. There is 10 minutes left. Let's hurry.
[分析] 此题考查时间。由“It's 6:15. There is 10 minutes left.”可知火车6:25开,故选B。
[典例2] When is the man going to leave for New York?
A.In October.
B.In September.
C.In December.
[听力原文]
W:Are you going to leave for New York in September?
M:No. I'm going to leave for New York the following month.
[分析] 本题三个选项均为表月份的词,录音中只听到September这个关于月份的词,考生很可能受误导而选B。但是对话中男士回答时用了一个关键词following。这个重要信息词说明他是下个月动身去纽约,从September算起,下个月自然就是October了,故选A。
[交际用语练能力]
(一)根据对话内容,从对话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。
W:Excuse me, have you been waiting long?
M:About ten minutes.
W:__1__
M:Not while I've been standing here. I'm waiting for the number seven myself.
W:Good. Hot today, isn't it?

四、语篇阅读训练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
An earthquake happens when two plates rub (摩擦) together. The earth plates travel in different directions and at different speeds. If one plate is slowly forced under the other, pressure builds up until the plates break apart. This process causes the ground to move. It is an earthquake. In other words, earthquakes are the shaking of the earth's surface caused by the earth's rocky outer layer (岩层) as a result of the energy stored within the earth. The strain within the rocks is suddenly released (释放).
The damage an earthquake causes depends on where it is and when it is happening. If an unpopulated region is struck, there will be low loss of life or property. If it hits a large city, there may be many injuries and much destruction. Many of the areas at risk are largely populated now. Major earthquakes hitting those areas today could produce terrible damage.
Actually, there are several million small earthquakes every year. Large earthquakes such as the 1964 Alaskan quake that measured 9.2 on the Richter scale, caused millions of dollars in damage. In the last 500 years, millions of people have been killed by earthquakes around the world — including 240,000 in the 1976 Tangshan earthquake in China.
A 60second or less earthquake can cause devastation (破坏) that continues for years after the first tremor (震动). In 1972, a series of severe earthquakes struck Managua, Nicaragua. Fifteen years later, the city still looked the way it had a week after the earthquake hit, because the country did not have the money necessary to rebuild it.
The shaking of the earth is sometimes not the greatest disaster. It is in the ensuing fires and floods that often the greatest damage occurs. In the 1906 earthquake, it was the fire caused after it that did the majority of the damage. An earthquake can also destroy dams high above a city or valleys, causing floods to sweep down and sweep away everything in their path.
语篇解读:本文主要讲了地震的成因及危害。
1.Which of the following is the main idea of Paragraph 1?
A.An earthquake comes from inside the earth.
B.The earth has great energy in storage.
C.How the earth plates move.
D.How an earthquake happens.
解析:选D 段落大意题。第一段主要讲述了地震的成因。
2.How many examples are used in the passage to show the damage and destruction earthquakes cause?
A.Three. B.Four.
C.Five. D.Six.
解析:选B 细节理解题。文中提到1964年阿拉斯加地震,1976年唐山地震,1972年尼加拉瓜的马那瓜地震,以及1906年地震,共四次。
3.Which of the following is mentioned to show that an earthquake can kill too many people?
A.The 1964 Alaskan quake.
B.The 1976 Tangshan earthquake.
C.The 1972 Managua earthquake.
D.The 1906 earthquake.
解析:选B 推理判断题。由第三段最后一句可知1976年唐山大地震中大约240 000人遇难。
4.The underlined word “ensuing” in the last paragraph probably means “________”.
A.causing too much heat and great damage
B.causing many injuries and much destruction

Ⅱ.语法填空
阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
The first UN Chinese Language Day at the United Nations __1__(observe) on Friday at UN Headquarters in New York in 2010. __2__ the world's most widely spoken language, it seems appropriate that Mandarin (普通话) has one day every year dedicated (把……专用于) to it.

语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文,作者讲述了联合国确立的普通话日以及普通话在世界上的普及情况。
1.was observed 考查时态和语态。依据本句中的时间状语“in 2010”可知,此句应用一般过去时,又因observe与主语之间是被动关系,因此用一般过去时的被动语态。
2.As 考查介词。作为世界上使用最广泛的语言,每年有一天专用于(庆祝)普通话似乎是很恰当的。As在这里表示“作为”。
3.officially 考查副词。联合国正式确定普通话的节日是为了庆祝该语言的历史和对世界的贡献。这里用副词officially修饰形容词marked。
4.contributions 考查名词的数。contribution作“贡献”讲时为可数名词,其前无限定词,故用contributions。
5.to celebrate 考查非谓语动词。人们希望通过每年有一天庆祝普通话的活动能鼓励世界上更多的人学习普通话。本句考查了have some time to do ...的句式,故填不定式to celebrate。
6.largest 考查形容词最高级。句中的likely表示推测,再结合语境及空前的the可知,这里用large的最高级。
7.falls 考查时态。此处描述一般情况,故用一般现在时。fall on意为“(节日等)适逢(某日)”,又因主语为第三人称单数,故填falls。
8.involved 考查形容词。get involved表示“参与,卷入”,其中get为连系动词,involved为形容词作get的表语,故填involved。
9.that/which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词Confucius Institutes,空处在句中作主语,故填that/which。
10.the 考查冠词。on the increase“在增长中”,是固定搭配,故填定冠词the。

题目要求:阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
With_more_cellphone_companies_designing_models_for_children,_many parents are attracted to buy their kids phones and pay the bill. According to a study, 56% of parents of children aged 8 to 12 have given their children a cellphone. According to a recent YouthBeat survey, 12 is the magic number. It is the most common age for kids to get their first cellphones. But 13% of children aged 6 to 10 already have one. That's more than one out of every 10 kids.
Cellphone supporters, including many parents, note that cellphones help kids keep in touch with their friends and family, whether to ask for a ride home from football practice or to call for help when stuck in an emergency (紧急情况). Besides, some cellphones designed for kids can be controlled with settings that allow the phones to only be used in parentpermission ways. What's the harm in that?
However, other people are worried about the effects of cellphones on kids' health and safety. They_believe_that_sending_text_messages_or_fielding_phone_calls while doing homework makes it difficult for kids to stay focused, thus resulting in their poor schoolwork. They also say that kids_are spending_too_much_time texting_instead_of_talking to_each_other. “Our brains evolved (进化) to communicate face to face.” Says Gary Small, a professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine, in California. “A lot of this is lost with texting.”
And some experts are also concerned about possible health risks. They worry that radiation (辐射) released by cellphones could be harmful to young people. To be safe, they advise limiting talk time.
[背诵范文]
Many parents tend to buy cellphones for their kids.(要点1) Supporters think phones, with security settings, are a good tool for kids to contact others, especially in an emergency.(要点2) However, others argue being addicted to phones may harm both kids' schoolwork and their real communication skills.(要点3) Therefore, worried about potential health risks, some experts advise the youth to reduce their time on the phone.(要点4)
[高分亮点]
(一)题目分析
所给文章是议论文,为典型的“提出现象→说明正反方观点→提出解决办法”的结构。
第一段:提出现象:家长给孩子买手机。
第二段:陈述包括家长在内的手机支持者的观点,说明手机的好处。
第三段:陈述反对者的观点和理由。
第四段:忧心忡忡的专家建议青少年少用手机。
(二)范文点评
范文对题目中的主旨句(以下画线标出)与关键词(加黑显示)定位准确无误。在主旨句表达不明确的地方增加了支持信息,如第三段主旨句the effects of cellphones对手机的影响说明得不明确,范文中增加了支持信息:poor schoolwork和instead of talking to each other。同时对有些信息进行合并处理,如题目第三段从两个方面提供的支持信息在范文中合并为harm both kids' schoolwork and communication skills。
另外,范文中多处运用词语替换和句式转换法进行了灵活准确表达。如将第三段主旨句中的believe改为argue, talking改为communication, resulting in their poor schoolwork改为harm their schoolwork。第四段主旨句中的concerned about改为worried about, advise limiting talk time改为advise the youth to reduce time on the phone。
最后,范文运用过渡词however, therefore将要点进行连贯衔接。

[背诵范文]
Dear Sir/Madam,
On June 17th, 2019, a great earthquake measuring 6.0 on the Richter scale hit my hometown, Yibin City, Sichuan province, leaving many houses in ruins. Yesterday our class had a discussion on how to rebuild the quakestricken areas.
We all hold the view that the quakestricken areas will benefit a lot from the help offered from all over the country, as some areas are badly in need of money and materials. In addition, the help from outside will greatly relieve those who, though alive, are suffering great sorrow and pain. Meanwhile, it's vital that all the victims should act to help themselves. Through active participation in reconstruction, we will pull ourselves through.
Yours,
Li Hua
[高分亮点]
第一段:用hit比用happened表达更深刻,用leaving many houses in ruins比用causing a lot of damage表达更形象。quakestricken属于高级词汇,进一步刻画地震带来的灾难性后果。
第二段:同位语从句that the quakestricken areas ... all over the country属于高级表达,其benefit ... from短语使用非常贴切,offered from ... 为过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰名词the help。some areas are badly in need of更能突出需要援助的迫切性。用those who, though alive, are suffering great sorrow and pain更好地描述了灾区人民的现状。

[通技法——学写作规范]
概要写作
第一步:归纳主旨大意(含段落大意)
概要写作的第一步便是阅读并抓取主题,进而提取主旨大意,即有关该主题的主要内容或作者在该主题上的观点或主张。
阅读语篇时,根据文章不同的文体可采取以下方法:
记叙文
圈出记叙文的六要素(who, when, where, what, how, why),如果是夹叙夹议文,还要写出故事给读者带来的启示或寓意
说明文
找出文章要说明的对象、观点或建议
议论文
提取议论文的三要素(论点、论据、论证)
第二步:提炼关键词
1.结合主旨大意,细读段落,找出每个段落的主旨句和关键词,区别段落中哪些是main ideas,哪些是supporting ideas, examples 和additional information。通常是在相对重要的句子中提炼关键词。正确的关键词和关键句是概要写作最重要内容和依据。
2.消减事例,尽量减少实事并省略细节。
第三步:合并和改写
1.合并信息首先需要对信息进行分类、整合,找到信息之间的联系,再将联系紧密的信息合并在一起。同一层级的主旨句不宜合并在一起,但如果联系紧,且没有支持的细节信息,可以考虑合并。
2.在核心信息的基础上进行语言表达形式的改写,对原文的语言表达形式尽可能实现大规模的改变(改词、换句型)。
第四步:核查成文
核查连贯性,优先考虑使用最短连接词(but, then, later, finally, besides, thus, therefore, yet, however); 核查标点和语法;核查词数。

Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school, I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas.I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City.While I was standing in line at the cash register (收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car.I stopped and wondered what I should do.A car pulled up behind me.It was the couple.They said they would take me.We chatted and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.I wrote them a thankyou note.Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them.Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later, I drove to a meeting in the morning.In the late afternoon I found that I'd left the lights on all day, and the battery was dead.Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership was right next door.I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and explained my trouble.They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it.They would accept no payment, so later, I wrote them a note to say thanks.I received a letter back from one of the salesmen.No one had ever written him and say “thank you”, and it meant a lot, he said.
“Thank you” — two powerful words.They're easy to say and mean so much.

阅读文章,按照下面的提示列出提纲,然后合并改写,串连成篇。
Life has become difficult in many villages, and some are disappearing.There are a number of reasons for this.Firstly, young people from villages usually want to live somewhere livelier and they often move to the towns and do not return.Secondly, people move to the cities to find work, as there are often very few jobs in the countryside.Sometimes villages remain because people from the cities have bought a second home in the village, where they come and stay at weekends.The price of homes goes up and people from the area cannot afford to buy a house there.Another problem is that it is becoming more and more difficult for farmers to make money from their farms.So they sell their land and find another job.

Ⅱ.依据题目要求写作
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
With the development of the computer, virtual reality (虚拟现实) steps in our life.If something is virtual, then it is created by computer technology and appears as if it were real.VR is a computer system with a special headset (耳机).When you put on the headset, you will look at two tiny television screens.They are so close to your eyes as if you see just one picture and you will believe that you have entered a different world.In many systems, you also wear special gloves.With the gloves you can reach out and touch things in the unreal world.
The first VR games, which have already sold round the world, enable you to drive a sports car, fly a plane, or fight an enemy.In the future, it may be difficult to tell the virtual world of the games from the real world outside.However, VR is not just for entertainment.One day, delighted children will be able to learn geography by observing exciting foreign countries without having to leave their classrooms.They will be excited to learn history by visiting the Pyramids of Egypt.In addition, business will be able to use VR for many tasks.Pilots will be able to practise flying virtual planes before they go into the air.VR can help us in hundreds of ways improve the world.
However, some people have warned that there could be dangers.It might be dangerous if we do something wrong, or if people do not want to return to reality because it is safer than real life.Besides, we will forget how to live and work with real people.
There will be some problems with VR, as it is new for us.However, one thing is for sure: VR is here to stay.Get ready to step into another world!
参考范文:
VR is a computer system with a special headset and special gloves, which enables people to enter an unreal world. (要点1) It could be used to entertain people, educate children, deal with business and train pilots. (要点2) Though it might be dangerous if people prefer to stay in the virtual world, VR is sure to be part of people's life in the near future.(要点3)

二、单元同类话题热读练
阅读理解
The United States has more tornadoes (龙卷风) than any other country in the world. In a normal year there are 800 to 1,000 tornadoes. Most happen in the middle part of the country. Tornadoes form when warm and cool air meet. In the Midwest, the warm air from the Gulf of Mexico often meets the cold air from Canada.
The usual tornado season is March through May. Tornadoes form most often in the afternoon and early evening. There is often no warning of a tornado. People who live in the Midwest know the signs (征兆) of tornado activity. The sky becomes dark, often a greenish colour. Dark clouds appear in the sky and there is often large hail (冰雹). Suddenly, there is a loud sound, like a train or a jet plane. Sometimes, two, three, five, ten or more tornadoes can form over a large area.
This type of tornado activity hit Oklahoma and Kansas in May 1999. The day was stormy, with heavy thunderstorms in the afternoon. As the storms continued, tornadoes began to form. Dozens of tornadoes hit towns and neighbourhoods in Oklahoma, then in Kansas. Some stayed on the ground for several hours, destroying everything they touched. The tornadoes killed 43 people and injured 600 others. They destroyed thousands of homes and businesses. In some areas, not one home stood. In other areas, the tornadoes destroyed every home on the left side of the street, but didn't touch any homes on the right side. The tornadoes lifted people and cars into the air and then threw them back down to earth. So it is important to know where to hide and how to protect yourself in the face of a tornado.

2.The tornadoes that hit Oklahoma and Kansas in May 1999 ________.
A.took place at the same time
B.were the biggest in history

四、读后续写新题型练
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Two men, both seriously ill, shared the same hospital room.One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon.His bed was next to the only window of the room.The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.The men talked for hours on end.They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their experience in the army, and where they had been on vacation.Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.The man in the other bed began to live for those onehour periods when his world would be broadened and enlivened (使有活力) by all the activities and colours of the world outside.
The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake.Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats.Young lovers walked arm in arm among flowers of every colour.Grand old trees made everything around more attractive, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.As the man by the window described all this in great detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.One warm afternoon, the man by the window described a parade passing by.Although the other man couldn't hear the band, he could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window pictured it with descriptive words.
Days and weeks passed.One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep.She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.As soon as it seemed appropriate (适当的), the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window.The nurse was happy to make the switch (交换), and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it for himself.
注意:1.所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右;
2.至少使用 5 个短文中标有下划线的关键词语;
3.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;

Paragraph 1:
Slowly and painfully, he made his greatest possible efforts to look out of the window beside the bed.

“The man was blind and could not even see the wall.Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.”the nurse answered.
参考范文:
Paragraph 1:
Slowly and painfully, he made his greatest possible effort to look out of the window beside the bed. When eagerly looking out of the window, he was frozen with his mouth open wide at the sight of the wall.Yes, he could see nothing but a blank wall.He couldn't believe his eyes, wondering what had happened.Gradually, he calmed down and lost himself in thought.Sitting there alone,_he wondered why the former roommate spent time describing the lively scenes during the onehour periods.After a while, the nurse came in to take his temperature.“Miss, my former roommate pictured wonderful things outside the window to me every time, when he sat up and looked out of the window.But in fact there is only a wall outside.I just can't understand why he did so.” the man asked.
Paragraph 2:
“The man was blind and could not even see the wall.Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.” the nurse answered. He was again shocked and suddenly enlightened, feeling deeply moved.Yes, he realized he had actually lived for those periods! He remembered how much he enjoyed the happy moments his roommate brought him, which rid him of the dark clouds in his life.He felt grateful for his roommate's special encouragement.

第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)
第一节(共10小题;每小题2.5分,满分25分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
When I was 4 years old, I met my best friend Ann in kindergarten (幼儿园). She was really small because she was only 3 years old, a year younger than the rest of us. At first I really disliked her. The teachers had to help her with everything! She even needed them to hold her hand as she was going down the slide (滑梯). We would play jokes on her tiny nose and I thought it was quite funny.
When one of the kids had his/her birthday, we would bring lots of candies, balloons, eat a cake and sing Happy Birthday to You in kindergarten. I was so delirious when my birthday was drawing near. However, a teacher held the tiny girl's hand and they came to me. “You girls can celebrate your birthday together! Gaja, your birthday is on the 19th and her birthday is just a day later! Isn't that surprising?” Perfectly surprising. I was angry.
The next day was my birthday and I felt that I was the happiest kid in the entire world. I should also mention that I was unable to stop imagining myself as a princess at the time. When I almost forgot about the tiny girl, she came to me. I saw she was holding two beautiful crowns (王冠) that were made out of paper. One was green and the other one was red. She gave me the red one and wished me a happy birthday. You can imagine I was really, really grateful. Since that day, we became very close friends.
We're now finishing high school in the same class and in fall we're going to study at the same university. To this day, I still feel so lucky that Ann was able to buy my friendship with a paper crown. 15 years later, we're almost like sisters and I love her so much.
语篇解读:本文是记叙文。作者与Ann在幼儿园里相识。起初,作者并不喜欢Ann,但后来两人成了情同姐妹的好朋友。
21.Why did the author dislike Ann at first?
A.Ann had a tiny nose.
B.Ann was younger than her.
C.She thought Ann was not brave.
D.She thought Ann was a trouble.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第一段的“The teachers had to help her with everything! She even needed them to hold her hand as she was going down the slide (滑梯).”可知,Ann做什么事都需要老师的帮助,甚至她滑滑梯时还需要别人拉住她的手。因此,作者认为Ann是个麻烦不断的人,因此不喜欢她。
22.What does the underlined word “delirious” in the second paragraph mean?
A.Lucky. B.Excited.
C.Grateful. D.Satisfied.
解析:选B 词义猜测题。根据该词前后的“When one of the kids had his/her birthday ... sing Happy Birthday to You in kindergarten”和“when my birthday was drawing near”可知,生日当天孩子们会带来很多糖果、气球,吃蛋糕和唱生日歌,所以快到作者的生日时,她感到很兴奋。
23.What happened on the author's birthday?
A.Ann came late on purpose.
B.Ann promised to be her friend.
C.She changed her mind about Ann.
D.She was angry at Ann's appearance.
解析:选C 推理判断题。结合第一段的“At first I really disliked her”,第二段的“I was angry”和第三段的“You can imagine I was really, really grateful ... very close friends”可以推知,作者过生日时Ann送了作者一顶红色的王冠,作者由原本不喜欢Ann到和Ann成为了非常亲密的朋友,作者改变了对Ann的看法。

After an earthquake most survivors can be expected to recover over time, particularly with the support of family and friends. Some families will be able to return to their normal life quickly, while others will have to contend_with the destruction of their homes, medical problems, and injury to family members. Children especially will need time to recover from the loss of a loved one or a pet or from the closing down of their school.
Children often turn to adults for information, comfort and help. Parents should try to remain calm, answer children's questions honestly and remain understanding when they see changes in their children's behaviour.
Children react differently to an earthquake depending on their ages, developmental levels and former experiences. Some will respond by withdrawing (不与人交往), while others will have angry outbursts (爆发).Parents should remain sensitive to each child's reactions. Parents should spend time talking to their children, letting them know that it's OK to ask questions and to share their worries. Although it may be hard to find time to have these talks, parents can use regular family mealtimes or bedtime for them. They should answer questions briefly and honestly and be sure to ask their children for their opinions and ideas. Issues may come up more than once and parents should remain patient when you answer the questions again. For young children, parents, after talking about the earthquake, might read a favourite story or have a relaxing family activity to help them calm down. Parents should also tell children they are safe and spend extra time with them. They could play games outside or read together indoors. Most importantly, be sure to tell them you love them.

Lions communicate with each other through body language, touch, smell, and sound.Lions from the same pride (狮群) greet each other by touching their faces, necks and bodies together.
Lions have many scent glands (臭腺) on their faces, lips, foreheads and tails (尾巴). A lion's scent communicates with other lions where they have been and how long ago.They also use scent to attract a friend.Lions have an extra smell organ (器官) called the Jacobson's organ that is used to smell other cats.In order to use this organ, a lion shuts off his nose, and tastes the air through his mouth!
Lions use many parts of their bodies to communicate their feelings through posturing.Because their most dangerous weapons (武器) are their teeth, and the most important body part used to communicate is their faces.When lions feel threatened and are scared, they show their weapons, raise their tails and lift their backs trying to look as big as possible.The king of the pride will walk with his head held high, his ears standing upright, his mouth closed, and his tail waving from sidetoside.The other members of the pride will walk with their heads held low, their mouths open, and their teeth showing.A lion is able to notice even the slightest change in posture of another lion.
The lion is the loudest of all big cats.Because lions are one of the most threatening animals in the wild, and they are not scared to be noisy.Loud roars help keep kings of different prides away from one another.Mothers and their young use the largest variety of calls to communicate because they are the members of the pride that spend the most time together.
语篇解读:狮子通过动作、表情、叫声及气味来彼此交流。
28.Which of the following behaviour is friendly?
A.Smelling each other.
B.Touching each other.
C.Roaring to each other.
D.Showing their teeth to each other.

A.close his eyes

第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

Preparing healthy, fresh meals three times a day takes a lot of time. __31__ But how do we still keep healthy when we eat out? There are a few simple things we can do.
The first thing to consider is the portion size (分量). Many restaurants provide larger portions than you normally need in one meal. __32__ One way to achieve this, if you're at a restaurant, is to ask only half your meal to be brought out and the other half boxed to take home later. If you're eating fast food, order a Kids Meal that has a smaller portion.
However, we all want to be satisfied at the end of a meal. __33__ We can achieve it by controlling our appetite (食欲). One way is to carry around healthy snacks that you can take between meals to help with hunger. __34__ Not only is water important to your health, but it'll help you become full faster.
__35__ Most menus now have meals with low fat. Order those meals when you eat out. Also think about healthy soup instead of soda drinks.
A.Pay attention to how we eat a meal.
B.But water is healthier than sweet drinks.
C.So more and more people like eating out.
D.You can eat less of your main meal when you eat out.
E.Then how do we do that if we aren't eating tons of food?
F.One more thing to think about is making healthy choices to start with.
G.Another suggestion is to drink one to two cups of water before your meal.
语篇解读:本文是说明文。文章简要介绍了在外就餐时如何保证健康的饮食。
31.选C 准备健康、新鲜的一日三餐是一件耗时的事,所以越来越多的人喜欢在外就餐。根据下一句中的“eat out”可以推知,空格处提到了“在外就餐”。
32.选D 本段的主旨是在外就餐时要考虑到我们所点食物的分量。选项D中的“eat less”符合本段的主旨。
33.选E 上一段建议我们在外就餐时尽量点小分量的食物。本段的第一句说,但是我们都希望在享受完一顿饭后能够获得满足感。空格处承上启下,说到:那么我们在不能放开胃口吃的情况下,如何获得吃饭的满足感呢?
34.选G 根据本段的“controlling our appetite”可知,本段的主旨是建议我们控制食欲。上一句“One way is to ...”给出了控制食欲的一个方法,空格处提出另一个方法,Another suggestion is to ...。再结合下一句中的water可知,空格处提到了water。选项B也提到了water,但不符合语境。
35.选F 本段提出了在外就餐的最后一条建议。根据下文的点低脂肪的食物和健康的汤可以推知,本段的主旨是在外就餐时从点餐开始就做健康的选择。

第二节:概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Your attitude plays a big part in your everyday life and can influence how your life may turn out in the future. If you have a good attitude, you'll be the kind of person who works hard and you'll live the kind of life many would admire. Here're some tips which can help you improve your attitude.
Spend time with those who share your positive attitude. This is a must if you want to improve your attitude. The people you surround yourself with most of the time will reflect upon your life. So always make sure that these people share your positive attitude and lift you.
When you take action, always take steps to act with a purpose, so that your actions are in line with your values. For example, Walt Disney's main purpose is to “make people happy”. So next time you act, think of your purpose and improve your attitude while doing so!
Being polite when given help or asking for it isn't a hard thing, yet so often we forget these simple words, especially with those closest to us. If you want to improve your attitude, use “please” and “thank you” every time you're given the opportunity.
If you want to improve your attitude to life and to those around you, stop comparing yourself with others. It's human to compare our lives with others', but when we do it too often we can drag (拖) ourselves down. So spare yourself the worry and stop comparing; only focus (集中) on your own life and you'll be much happier in the process.
Gratefulness is one of the most powerful attitudes in your life. If you want a better life, give thanks for all that you have each and every day. Gradually, you'll receive more things to be thankful for!
So how's your attitude today? Does it need a little fine tuning?
参考范文:
Your attitude, which may influence your future, plays an important role in your daily life.(要点1) To improve your attitude, you should be with the persons with a positive attitude and act with an exact goal.(要点2) In addition, it doesn't make sense to compare yourself with others.(要点3) Lastly, using polite words, like “please” and “thank you”, often and learning to be grateful for whatever you have will contribute to improving your attitude.(要点4)
