Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

Earthquakes strike suddenly at any time of the day or night, but there's no way to tell when. If an earthquake happens, it may cause many deaths, injuries and damage. So you need a good preparation ahead of time. Decide how and where your family will get together if separated. Choose an out­of­state friend or relative that the family members can call after the quake to report where they are and how they are. Know the safe places in each room: under the strong tables, desks, or against inside walls. Keep enough food, water and other things, including a flashlight, a radio, medicines and clothing.

During the earthquake, you should keep a clear head and never be too nervous to know what to do. Protect your head and neck with your arms. If possible, take a book, a pillow or any other things to protect yourself from falling glass and ruins. If you are indoors, you must immediately lie under any strong furniture.  If outdoors, move to an open area away from trees, buildings, walls or powerpoles. If you are in a narrow valley, move to the centre of it and look up for falling stones. If you are in a car, move to the side of the road and stop the car. Do not stop near buildings, power lines or on or under bridges. Stay in your car until the shaking stops.

Do not move a badly injured person unless he is in great danger after the earthquake. Do not use the telephone immediately unless there is a serious injury or fire. Turn on your radio for instructions and news reports. Be prepared for aftershocks. If you want to leave your home, post a message inside your home telling your family members where you can be found.

B

All of us spend a large part of our lives at home — eating, sleeping, relaxing and communicating with our family members. Our home is a shelter for us, away from the noisy, busy, and polluted world outside — a place where we can let down our hair and dress casually. Eco­friendliness (环保) is a hot word today and we all know we should make our environment as eco­friendly as possible. This is not only good for our health, but also good for the outward environment. Here are some easy and helpful tips to make your home eco­friendly.

Kitchen

Plan the kitchen to be bright and airy so that you don't have to turn on the lights at daytime. Don't make wasteful use of the gas. Keep all ingredients for cooking ready before lighting the gas. Turn it to low when not required — always using it on “high” burns a lot of gas.

Indoor plants

Plants are extremely eco­friendly and can be used to make your home look lively. Apart from adding life to home, they give out O2, thus making the air inside fresh. You can keep plants in your home, but be sure to show them some sunlight regularly. Also, if they are kept outside, clean their leaves with a wet cloth, as dust may be added to them. A home decorated (装饰) with plants looks attractive. Plants are a natural home decorating gift that shows concern about the environment. A green plant is a wonderful gift which will protect the earth and is sure to be appreciated.

Saving water

Most of the time, we_take_water_for_granted — we keep water running while brushing our teeth or washing clothes. Needless to say, this is a huge waste of natural resources (资源). Try to recycle water. For example, the water used for washing vegetables can be used for watering plants; the soapy water used for washing clothes can be used to clean the bathroom and kitchen.

【语篇解读】　本文主要介绍了如何营造环保的家园，从厨房节约能源、种植室内植物和节约用水三方面提出的建议。

5．Why is the importance of our home discussed in Paragraph 1?

A．To advise us to communicate more with our family members.

B．To show it's necessary to make our home eco­friendly.

C．To advise us to spend more time staying at home.

D．To show the outside world is noisy and polluted.

答案与解析：B　推理判断题。文章主要介绍了如何营造环保的家园，因此可推断，第一段讨论家庭的重要性是为了表明创造环保家园是有必要的，从而引出下文。

6．What is advised to be done in the kitchen?

A．To open the window.  B．To prepare simple meals.

C．To save energy.  D．To turn down lights.

答案与解析：C　细节理解题。根据第二段的“Don't make wasteful use of the gas.”可知，作者建议节约使用天然气，即在厨房要节约能源。

7．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 mean?

A．We don't realize the importance of water.

B．We try our best not to waste water.

C．We don't use water frequently.

D．We make full use of water.

答案与解析：A　句意理解题。根据画线部分后的“we keep water running while brushing our teeth or washing clothes.”可知，我们在刷牙或洗衣服时让水一直流着，因此可推测，画线句的言下之意是我们并没有意识到水的重要性。

8．Which could be the best title for the text?

A．Live a relaxing life.

B．Create a clean and safe home.

C．Our home is a shelter for us.

D．Make your home eco­friendly.

答案与解析：D　主旨大意题。根据第一段尾句“Here are some easy and helpful tips to make your home eco­friendly.”可知，本文主要阐述如何营造环保的家园。
