课时作业
Ⅰ.阅读理解

(2020·河北衡水中学高三第一次联考)If you're looking to fully experience Africa's breathtaking scenery, and have an eye for adventure, then there's only one place to be. Here, inside Africa pick four of the best hikes from across the continent.
1．Kilimanjaro
Make it to the top of Tanzania's 5,895­meter Kilimanjaro, and you'll be standing at Africa's highest point. The mountain is Africa's most­visited hiking destination, attracting tens of thousands of tourists and adventures every year.
You don't have to be a technical climber to climb Mount Kilimanjaro; you just need not be pretty physically fit. There are six routes to choose from, difficulty, scenery and success. No special equipment.
2．Atlas mountains
The High Atlas is an impressive mountainous range in central Morocco that hosts North Africa's highest peak. Mount Toubkal, at 4,165 meters. There's a variety of routes to follow during your climb but inexperienced climbers should note that the hike through the mountain's challenging zones is quite demanding.
3．Mount Kenya
A long­extinct volcano. Mount Kenya is Africa's second­highest peak, at 5,199 meters.
Lying just south of the equator, the mountain's deep valleys and diverse wildlife will guarantee you wonderful scenery and a fantastic hiking experience.
The climb, however, to the mountain's steep ice­capped peaks is quite challenging, making it the most technical, probably, in that East African area.
4．Mount Meru
Mount Meru may forever exist in the shadow of its neighbor, Kilimanjaro, butTanzania's second­highest mountain (4,565 meters) has its own devotees.
It's less known, but Mount Meru is for the true enthusiast who wants to experience what very few people actually do.
Mount Meru is often used by mountaineers to accustom themselves before trying to conquer Kilimanjaro, or by those wanting a hike with the local Massai.

A．To avoid big crowds of climbers.
B．To hike with the local Massai.
C．To get used to the situation.
D．To experience what most people D．o.
答案：C　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Mount Meru is often used by mountaineers to accustom themselves before trying to conquer Kilimanjaro”可知答案为C。
3．Which is the lowest of the four?
A．Kilimanjaro. B．Atlas mountains.
C．Mount Kenya. D．Mount Meru.
答案：B　细节理解题。根据四座山的高度对比，确定Atlas Mountains高度最低，故答案为B。

(2019·浙江省“五校联考”第一次考试)Emoji might not be your first choice of communication in a disaster, but researchers feel they could make a difference during emergencies, where every second counts. Now, the Emoji­quake campaign is lobbying_for an earthquake emoji to be added to the Unicode set—the standard group of icons available on digital devices worldwide. The campaign aims to find an earthquake­appropriate design to be submitted to Unicode.
“Approximately up to one third of the world's population are exposed to earthquakes，” explains University of Southampton seismologist (地震学家) Dr Stephen Hicks, a founder of the campaign. “So we really want to be able to communicate to all of those regions, all of those different languages, and an emoji is an amazing way of doing that.”
Unlike many other weather and climate related events, where longer warning times or visible signs are available, earthquakes move incredibly quickly and are difficult to measure while they are still occurring. Populations in areas like Japan and Mexico are dependent on earthquake early warning technology, which issues an alert on digital devices and broadcast media. “You may have seconds to get under a table or to protect yourself，” explains Dr Hicks. “That can be life saving in many cases. Naturally you don't want too much wording in the warning message.”
Pictographs (象形文字) and other visuals like emoji have a track record of being faster and easier to understand than written information. Dr Sara McBride, a communications specialist, who is also part of the campaign, told BBC News, “Emoji can cross the boundaries of written languages, helping communicate valuable information to people who may struggle to read a certain language.”
The potential usefulness of emoji in emergencies could extend well beyond earthquakes. A team of designers also came up with emerji—an entire set of emoji dedicated to climate and environmental events.

How to Deal with Being Indoors During an Earthquake
Would you know what to do if you are indoors during an earthquake? 　1　
Stay indoors. Do not move outside. Many modern buildings made of RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) are D．esigned to withstand moderate earthquakes and are actually quite safe. 　2　 Going outside is dangerous when people get injured from things falling off the building or other buildings.
　3 D．rop before the earthquake drops you. Use the “Drop, Cover and Hold” method—drop onto the ground, take cover under a strong and sturdy object and cover your head with your hands and arms. Hold onto whatever you might be underneath, because if it starts to move, you'll want to make sure that you're moving with it.
Get under something heavy. 　4　 If possible, get under something heavy like a desk or table. Cover your head. Get down low and make sure that you are protected from things that might be falling in your home.
Find other supports if you cannot shelter under something. If you're not able to get under a table or other forms of protection, get next to an interior wall. Make yourself as small as possible. Cover your head and protect yourself while the shaking is going on.
Stay in bed if you are there already. If an earthquake starts while you are in bed, the best thing is to stay there. Cover your head and neck with your pillow and ride out the shaking. 　5　 It has been reported that people who get out of bed during an earthquake are more likely to be injured as they may step on broken glass.
A．Drop onto the ground.
B．Find a heavy desk quickly.
C．Earthquakes lead to many disasters.
D．Do not get out of bed until the shaking stops.
E．This simple how­to will bring you up to speed quickly.
F．It is unlikely that you will be able to walk during an earthquake.
G．Steps and lifts are actually more dangerous than staying indoors.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在发生地震时如果你在室内的话应该怎么做。
1．E　下文的各个小标题概述了具体的建议，由此可知选E项，引出下文。
2．G　空格处上文讲地震时不要外出，G项顺接上文，解释其原因。
3．A　空格处是本段主题句。从内容看，该段主要讲述地震发生时，要蹲在地上，躲避在坚固的物体下，用手和胳膊护住头。故选A项。
4．F　本段主要讲述地震时要找到厚实的物体作为遮蔽物，防止落物伤人，F项解释其原因，说明为何要这样做。故选F项。
5．D　由本段第二句中的“... in bed, the best thing is to stay there”及空后句子所述这样做的原因可知，空格处所填句子应进一步强调待在床上等待地震结束，D项所述符合前后语境。

1．________　2.________　3.________　4.________
5．________　6.________　7.________　8.________
9．________　10.________
篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。为领略“一带一路”倡议的发展，银行职员Herman Kambugu和他的同事参加了穿越“一带一路”沿途国家的接力赛。通过这项活动，他们深刻体会到“一带一路”倡议让参与国人民的生活更美好。
1．celebration　考查词性转换。介词后常接名词或动名词，介词in后应填名词celebration。该句意为：他跑了32公里以示祝贺。
2．to take　考查非谓语动词。attempt to do sth.为固定用法，意为“尝试做某事”。
3．which　考查定语从句的引导词。分析该句结构可知，设空处引导非限制性定语从句，引导词在从句中作主语，先行词为设空前的整个主句，故用which引导该定语从句。
4．has witnessed　考查动词的时态和主谓一致。根据该句中的时间状语“so far”可知，该句应用现在完成时；由该句主语Kambugu可知，主语为第三人称单数，故谓语动词用单数形式。
5．the　考查冠词。此处表示使生活变得更好，for the better “好转，向好的方向发展”为固定搭配，故用定冠词the。
6．what　考查主语从句的连接词。分析该句结构可知，设空处引导主语从句，作主语从句中had seen的宾语，表示“……的事物”，故用what引导该主语从句，表示“她所看到的”。
7．her　考查代词。设空处作及物动词impressed的宾语，故用宾格代词her。
8．more fluently　考查副词的比较级。根据该句中的“than”可知，设空处用其比较级，修饰动词spoke，故填more fluently。
9．participating　考查非谓语动词。分析该句结构可知，the countries和动词participate之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，故用其现在分词形式作后置定语。
10．runners　考查名词。runner为可数名词，又主语the countries为复数，故此处表示多个奔跑者，应用复数形式。
Ⅳ.书面表达

An activity for donating books
The Student Union organized an activity for donating books to children in poor mountainous areas in our library on the afternoon of July 1, in order to call on more students to care for the children's life and studies there.
Students were glad to give away some of their books and wrote down encouraging words on the first page of them. In addition, they left their telephone number and address, hoping to be contacted by the children. In the end, more than one thousand books were collected.
The activity does not only allow students in our school to show their love for others but also helps them make new friends.
