海啸阅读题目及答案
海啸阅读题目及答案海啸阅读题目及答案篇一：海啸阅读答案.根据文意①去年的一场大海啸，让人们谈海啸色变。
对海啸，好多人都想知道个究竟。
②海啸是由大规模的海水运动而产生的一系列具有极强破坏力的巨大海浪。
这种海水运动引发的惊涛骇浪，波高可达数十米，其转移速度可快至每小时800公里。
这么高的前赴后继的层层水墙，内含极大的能量，冲上陆地后所向披靡，对生命和财产可造成严重危害。
去年印度洋大海啸在泰国沿岸把一艘50吨重的船从海边推到岸上1.2公里远的地方；1960年智利大海啸形成的汹涌波涛，移动了上万公里，到达日本后还造成了一定危害。
从有关数据来看，海啸高达2米，木制的房屋会瞬间遭到破坏；海啸高达20米以上，钢筋水泥建筑也难以招架。
③凡是能引起海水置换或转移的因素都可能引起海啸，如：地震活动、海底山崩、火山爆发以及宇宙的影响等。
④海啸通常是由震源在海底下50公里以内、里氏6.5级以上的海底地震产生的振荡波引起的。
在震动之后，振荡波在海面以不断扩大的圆圈，传播到很远地方，这就像丢颗石子到水中，涟漪由内向外扩散一样，所以海啸不是单一的巨大波浪，而是一批具有很长波长的海浪。
13．请细读选文，概括出海啸的特征。
（2分）答：14．第②段划线句主要运用哪两种说明方法?有什么作用?(2分) 答：15．第④段中，加点词语通常能不能删去，为什么？(2分)答：参考答案：13．波浪大、速度快、传播远、能量大(破坏力强)(共2分，每2点1分)14．举例子、列数字，具体说明（海啸能量大，）造成的危害严重(2分)15．不能，通常表明这只是一般情况（不排除特殊情况，或说明除了地震之外还有其他因素可以引起海啸），体现说明文语准确性。
(2分)篇二：海啸阅读答案.根据文意①去年的一场大海啸，让人们谈“海啸”色变。
对海啸，好多人都想知道个究竟。
②海啸是由大规模的海水运动而产生的一系列具有极强破坏力的巨大海浪。
这种海水运动引发的惊涛骇浪，波高可达数十米，其转移速度可快至每小时800 公里。

Another, less discussed issue, is the degree to which many local officials in the disaster zone were victims themselves.自去年四川地震以来，一个反复出现的主题是关于政*官员的腐败，以及因之产生的未达标学校的倒塌，导致仍不知确切数字的孩子们的死亡。

根据短文内容，判断下列句子的正误。
When we feel the ground moves suddenly, it means that an earthquake may come. Many of the earthquakes first come under the sea and then happen anywhere on the earth. Especially they often happen near the mountains and seas such as Wenchuan, Japan and Indonesia.When an earthquake happens, it's very easy to cause a tsunami (海啸). Houses fall down, many people are injured and even died.Now scientists are trying their best to study earthquakes. They make maps to show t he “earthquake belts (地震带)”. So the houses there must be quite strong.We believe that scientists will be able to tell us when and where an earthquake will happen in the near future. Also, they can tell us what to do and how to do. People can even use earthquakes to do something for us humans.（1）Earthquakes often happen in Japan.（2）Sometimes an earthquake happens with a tsunami.（3）Many people lost their lives in the earthquakes because they didn't help each other.（4）In areas in the “earthquake belts”, people build strong houses. （5）Scientists can prevent earthquakes happening.【答案】（1）right（2）right（3）wrong（4）right（5）wrong【解析】短文介绍了地震方面的常识。

必修一Unit 4 EarthquakesⅠ.阅读理解A(2024·成都市中学毕业班三诊) “Like a monster, it destroys everything.” That's how one school girl described a tsunami (海啸)．On Dec. 26, 2004, a magnitude-9.1 earthquake in Indonesia set off a massive tsunami. It killed more than 290,000 people across a dozen countries and cost an estimated $10 billion in damage.Nov. 5 is World Tsunami Awareness Day and at the United Nations, disaster risk reduction was high on the agenda.“What I can tell you is that the tsunami wave cannot be stopped，” said Bulgarians U. N. Ambassador Georgi Velikov Panayotov. He was on vacation in Thailand in 2004 and survived the tsunami. “What we can do is build early warning systems and, of course, educate the population about the damaging power of the tsunami wave，” he said.On March 11, 2011, a magnitude-9 earthquake rocked northeastern Japan triggering a fierce tsunami that also damaged the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, south of Sendai.“When the big earthquake hit Japan in 2011, people thought that we were pr epared for it，” said Japan's U. N. Ambassador Koro Bessho. “It caused severe damage. We had dams; we had drills. However, we had been counting on something that hits every 100 years and the earthquake was of the size of possibly every 500 years or thousand years，” he said.These two events sent the countries of the region into overdrive to review and improve disaster preparedness. In 2015 the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction was born. It aims to help create a better understanding of disaster risk and improve preparedness for an effective response.Indonesia is made up of thousands of islands which are disaster-prone (灾难频发的). Willem Rampangilei, head of Indonesia National Board for Disaster Management, said his government now has plans for every disaster-prone city.Countries at risk are also expanding their education programs. Children from an early age are taught how to react in case of a tsunami and then go with theirclassmates to higher ground away from coastal areas to avoid the walls of water the tsunami triggers.文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文。

May I sit and talk with you for a moment?”“Of course, please sit down，” Sue said. Jack sat down next to Sue on the bench, and they talked quietly together.

He's strong and healthy.”“And hungry/’ Jack said. “He hasn't taken his eyes off you. He thinks you’ve got some food for him”'That's true,” Sue said. “But I haven't.”They both laughed and then Jack said, "Does your dog bite (咬）？”“No，”Sue said, “ He's never bitten anyone. He's always gentle and friendly.”Hearing this, Jack decided to hold out his hand and touched (触摸）the animal's head.

Then the father explained (解释), “People call this Echo, but really this is life. It gives you back everything you say or do. Our life is just a reflection(反映)of what we have done.

It is reported that over 35 million Americans have physical, mental, or other disabilities. About half of these disabilities ar e “developmental", that is to say, they happen before people’s twenty-second birthday, often from born conditions, and are hard enough to affect three or more areas of development, such as movement, communication, occupation, etc. Most other disabilities are considered “adventitious" (偶然的), i.e., accidental or caused by outside forces. Before the 20th century, only a small percentage of people with disabilities survived for long. Medical treatment for these disabilities was unavailable. Improvements in medicine and social services have created a climate in which people with disabilities can expect to have such basic (基本的) needs as food, shelter, and medical treatment. Unluckily, these basics are often not available. Human rights such as the right to vote, marry, get an education, and achieve work have traditionally been not agreed on the basis of disability.In recent ten years, the disability rights movement has been organized to fight against these disagreements of human rights. Congress(国会) replied by passing important laws recognizing(承认) people with disabilities as a protected groupunder human rights laws.It is reported that more than half of qualified(有资格的) Americans with disabilities don’t have work, and a lot of those who do work are out of work. About two-thirds live at or below the official lowest level.Obvious difficulties, especially in communication and public awareness(意识), prevent disabled people from taking part in society. For example, while no longer stopped by law from marrying, a person unable to communicate is excluded(排斥) from society and social activities which might lead to the development of long-term relationships.Only when public attitudes(态度) advance as far as laws have, disabled people will be fully able to take their rightful place in society.11．. A “developmental" disability ______.A. is caused by forcesB. happens in youth and affects developmentC. develops very slowly over timeD. is getting harder and harder12．Most disabled people used to die early because ______.A. they were not very well looked afterB. disabilities destroyed body functions terriblyC. they were too poor to get right treatmentD. medical treatment were not available13．The sentence “Still today, people with disabilities must fig ht to live their lives freely.” should be placed at the beginning of Paragraph _________.A. OneB. TwoC. ThreeD. Four14．Which of the following cannot be inferred（推断）from the passage ?A. The public tend to(倾向) look down on the disabled people.B. Many disabled people may remain single(保持单身) for their whole life.C. The disabled people feel inferior(不及) to those common people.D. Discriminatory(歧视性) laws prevent the disabled from mixing with others. 15． The best title for this passage might be ______.A．The Causes for DisabilitiesB．Medical Treatments for DisabilitiesC．The physical difficulties of the DisabledD．Disadvantages of People with DisabilitiesThe weather is getting warmer and warmer. It is fun to play outside, but people are afraid to play outside these days, because of the H7N9 virus. The H7N9 virus is one type of influenza A H7 viruses. It is a new type of bird flu. Influenza A H7 viruses mainly affectbirds but sometimes they can also affect humans. Most people infected with H7N9 virus look like they had a common flu. They had a fever, a cough and shortness of breath. Some had bad pneumonia. This March, H7N9 virus hit Shanghai, Anhui, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Up until April 11th, the number of people infected had reached 35. Nine of these people died.But don’t be afraid , some cases are curable. A 4-year-old boy in Shanghai and a 67-year-old man in Hangzhou got the virus, and they are getting better. Besides, it's not easy to be infected by the H7N9 virus.There are some ways to save ourselves from this. First, wash your hands withsoap and running water before you eat and after you use the toilet. You should do the same after you touch animals or animal waste. Second, cover your nose and mouth with your elbow when coughing. Third, you should have a good rest and do some exercises, so your body can become strong enough to beat the virus. 16．How’s the weather during these days?A .cold B. warm C. hot D. cool17．How many people have been infected H7N9 until April 11th?A .35 B. 25 C. 45 D. 3018．Which place didn’t find H7N9 in March?A .

Some of the H7N9 cases are curable.D. Most people infected with H7N9 virus look like they had a common flu. 20．How can we save ourselves from the H7N9 virus?A. Wash your hands before you eat and after you use the toilet, touch animals or animals waste.B. Cover your nose and mouth with your elbow when coughing.C.

The quake -- the most powerful to hit Japan in more than 100 years -- caused massive damage and many people are missing and feared dead.The 8.9 magnitude quake struck Friday(March 11) off Japan's eastern coast, and prompted(引发) tsunami warnings（海啸警报）across the Pacific as far away as South America and the U.S. West Coast. Several days after a 8.9-magnitude earthquake and resulting 10-meter-high tsunami devastated the coastline. The United States Geological Survey says it was the fifth largest earthquake since 1900. The largest, with a 9.5 magnitude, shook Chile(智利) in 1960.In Japan, the tsunami swept away boats, cars and hundreds of houses in coastal areas north of Tokyo. The quake shook buildings in the Japanese capital and caused several fires. All train and subway traffic in Tokyo has been stopped, and thousands of people there were unable to get back home. People are just trying to find clean water. Food supplies are running out. In the convenience stores, there are no rice balls left. There is no bottled water left. People are facing a really serious situation in the days ahead for these people that are living in areas that were only moderately（普通的） damaged. The final death toll could range from the thousands to tens of thousands, depending on how many of these communities are gone.Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan said the government would do everything it can to minimize（使降到最低） the effects of the disaster. And in Washington, President Obama said the United States is ready to help the people of Japan. 21．The underline word damage means_____________ in the article.A. illnessB. disasterC. terrorD. danger22． Which is true according to the passage?A.

一篇英语作文介绍海啸事件
一篇英语作文介绍海啸事件Tsunamis, often referred to as tidal waves, are among the most powerful and destructive natural phenomena on Earth. They are caused by large-scale disturbances in the ocean, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. This essay aims to provide an overview of what a tsunami is, the factors that contribute to their formation, and the impact they have on human societies and the environment.What is a Tsunami?A tsunami is a series of ocean waves generated by a sudden, powerful movement in the seafloor or some other massive displacement of water. The term "tsunami" is derived from the Japanese words "tsu" (harbor) and "nami" (wave). Contrary to popular belief, tsunamis are not single waves but rather a series of waves that can travel across entire ocean basins.Causes of TsunamisThe most common cause of tsunamis is the movement along tectonic plate boundaries, where one plate is forced under another (subduction). This can result in a massive vertical displacement of the ocean floor, displacing an enormous volume of water. Other causes include volcanic eruptions, which can displace water or cause landslides into the ocean, and meteorological events, although these are less common.Characteristics of Tsunami WavesTsunami waves are characterized by their long wavelength and high speed. They can travel at speeds of up to 500 miles per hour in the open ocean, with wavelengths that can exceed 100 miles. As they approach the shore, the waves slow down, increase in height, and can cause catastrophic damage to coastal areas.Impact on Human SocietiesThe impact of tsunamis on human societies is profound. They can lead to the loss of life, destruction of property, andlong-term economic and social disruption. The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the 2011 Tohoku tsunami in Japan are stark reminders of the devastation these events can cause. In addition to the immediate physical damage, tsunamis can also lead to the spread of disease, contamination of water supplies, and long-lasting psychological trauma.Environmental ImpactThe environmental impact of tsunamis is equally significant. They can cause erosion, alter coastlines, and damage ecosystems both in the ocean and on land. Coral reefs, mangroves, and other marine habitats can be severely affected, leading to a loss of biodiversity and long-term changes tothe environment.ConclusionTsunamis are a stark reminder of the power of nature and the vulnerability of human societies. As our understanding of these events improves, so does our ability to predict and prepare for them. Early warning systems, improved building codes, and public education are critical in mitigating the impact of tsunamis. It is through a combination of scientific research, international cooperation, and community preparedness that we can hope to reduce the devastation caused by these natural disasters in the future.。

I thought to myself that Lilliput was as nice and rich as my homeland, England. Then the king and some other men stopped a little distance away from me and managed to tell me many things about their country using some large pictures. I learned that the temple behind me was going to be my home! The king then explained that his servants would bring me food and drink three times a day, as well as other things. I was also told that I would have teachers to help me learn the Lilliputian language. I really appreciated their help.When the king left, some soldiers stayed behind to protect me from the Lilliputians. A group of men grabbed some stones and threw them at me. When the soldiers saw what was happening, they tied up the men who had thrown the stones. And then the soldiers dragged them over to me so that I would punish them. The men looked terribly afraid, and I realized that I could punish them by scaring them. Quickly, I put them into my pockets of my shirt. Then I took one of the men in my hand and held him over my mouth as if I was going to eat him. Then I took out a small knife that I had and held it up to the man’s neck. Just when it seemed like I was going to kill the man, I used my knife to cut the ropes from his arms and legs. Then I did the same thing with the other men who were still in my pocket and gently put them all down on the ground. I guessed that no one else would throw any more stones at me.From Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift4．Where was Gulliver from?A．Lilliput.B．England.C．France.5．The king ordered his men to do the following things EXCEPT ________.A．giving Gulliver a place to live inB．teaching Gulliver their languageC．throwing stones at Gulliver6．What was Gulliver like?A．Kind and wise.B．Scary and mean.C．Bad but smart.7．Which can be the best title for the passage?A．The king and I B．Meeting Friendly Lilliputians C．My First Day in LilliputWho is the most famous artist in the world? If not Leonardo da Vinci, it might be Pablo Picasso. Picasso was one of the most famous artists of the 20th century.Born in Spain, Picasso showed his talent at an early age. He could create many amazing paintings. The neighbors all thought he was a genius (天才). However, this “genius” was not an excellent student at school.As a bad student, Picasso’s detention in school was very common. There were only desks, chairs and empty walls in the detention room, but he was happy because he could take a piece of paper from the desk and paint freely there. He first learned painting from his father, who was an art teacher. When he was 13, he could draw and paint just about anything, and in any style. He also liked to try out new ideas. Picasso lost himself in the world of imagination every day.People divided his life and art into different periods. One of his most famous periods was his Cubist (立体派的) period. Cubism is when an artist paints things, like a bottle, from different angles (角度) all in the same picture. So you see the front, the back and the sides of the bottle allat the same time. In a way, it’s a bit like having X-ray eyes.This new way of painting surprised the art world in the 20th century. Picasso has been so admired by many artists nowadays. He has helped us see the world in new ways.8．What was Leonardo da Vinci according to the passage?A．An engineer.B．A musician.C．An artist.9．What does the underlined word “detention” mean in Chinese?A．留校B．创意C．勤奋10．When we look at a Cubist painting, we can see a thing ________.A．in all angles B．in one angle C．in no angles11．What’s the passage mainly about?A．Picasso’s childhood.B．Picasso’s paintings.C．Picasso’s talent.阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
海啸频发地区英语作文初中
海啸频发地区英语作文初中In recent years, countries located in tsunami-prone areas have been facing a great challenge in terms of disaster prevention and response. As a resident of such an area, I have witnessed the devastating effects of tsunamis and understand the importance of being prepared for such disasters.Tsunamis are often caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and landslides that occur under the sea. When these events happen, huge waves are generated, which can travel at high speeds and cause widespread destruction along the coasts. In some cases, the waves can reach heights of up to 30 meters and cause massive flooding, leaving behind a trail of destruction and loss of life.To prevent the occurrence of tsunamis, governments in affected areas have put in place early warning systems that can detect seismic activity and alert residents to evacuate to higher ground. In addition, many coastal communitieshave constructed seawalls and other protective structuresto reduce the impact of the waves.However, despite these measures, tsunamis can still strike unexpectedly, and it is important for residents tobe prepared. This means having an emergency plan in place, knowing the evacuation routes, and having a disaster kitthat includes food, water, and other essential supplies.In my community, we have regular drills to practice our response to tsunamis. We are taught to listen for warning sirens and follow the instructions of emergency responders. We also have designated meeting points where we can gather after evacuating, and we are encouraged to stay informed about the latest developments through radio and other media.In conclusion, living in a tsunami-prone area can be challenging, but with proper preparation and response, we can minimize the damage and loss of life caused by these disasters. It is important for governments, communities,and individuals to work together to build resilience and ensure that we are ready for any eventuality.。

But he is special—his drawings get published(出版).Montanaro is now drawing cartoons for Folha. Folha is Brazil's largest newspaper and is known for its cartoons. Montanaro has already been working at Folha for two years. Each week he draws two, three or four cartoons and sends them to the paper.

Montanaro's Great FatherCWhat do you see when you look at abstract(抽象) art? Does it make sense to you? Does it look like anything? Is it supposed to?Abstract art became popular in the early 20th century. Artists did not want to paint, draw, or sculpt things exactly(确切地) like they looked. They didn't want their art to be realistic. They were more interested in basic shapes and colours.Picasso is probably the most famous of these artists. He painted and drew in many, many styles. Sometimes he used a lot of blue colours (his "blue period"). Later, he used more red and pink colours (his "rose period"). Many of his other paintings are called "cubist(立体画派)" because they are made of painted squares.After a long time, Picasso's paintings became more and more abstract. He painted people and things using strange shapes. His work was so original; many of his fellow artists didn't understand it.Kandinsky, another famous artist, used lines, shapes, and patterns to paint his subjects. His paintings also used strong colours to express feelings.Other artists like the surrealists(超现实主义者), were interested in subconscious(潜意识). Painters like Breton and Magritte used many symbol in their work. The meaning or subject of their work wasn't always clear. Dali, another surrealist artist, painted pictures that look like dreams.There are still many abstract artists around the world. That's the way many artists prefer. They want each person to look at art and find their own meaning in it.11. Which would be most like abstract art?A. A painting of a house.B. A sculpture of a car.C. A drawing of two people in a coffee house.D. A red and blue painting, with no clear subject.12. What happened to Picasso's work after a long time?A. It became more abstract.B. It became less original.C. He went from using red colours to using blue colours.D. He only painted with coloured squares.13. How did Kandinsky express feelings?A. By using colours and shapes.B. By painting realistic people.C. By painting with a lot of symbols.D. By painting in red and pink colours.14. Who is probably the most famous abstract artist?A. Breton.B. Dali.C. Picasso.D. Magritte.15. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Picasso painted in many different styles.B. Dali was interested in dreams.C. Abstract artists feel each work of art only has one meaning.D. Magritte's art was full of symbols.DWhat's this? If you're looking at this tree in the shape of a butterfly, it's a topiary. A topiary is a tree or bush that is trained into a shape.A topiary gardener should make a drawing first. The drawing shows the "final shape that the gardener likes. The gardener then chooses a bush for the topiary. It may be one that just planted or one that is already in place.In June of the plant's first year, the gardener looks for new leaves. When the leaves grow, it's time to shape the bottom of the bush. It needs about five years. The top is not trimmed during this time. In the fifth year, the bush grows tall enough for shaping. Then the gardener begins to shape the whole bush.Once a topiary has been started, it needs care all year. In summer it must be cut many times to keep its shape. This cutting also helps the bush grow. In winter the bushes don't grow. The gardeners have to brush snow off the plants, or snow may hurt some parts of them.Topiary gardening is a very old art. The Romans did it in the first century. In the sixteenth century, people in Europe liked topiaries too. By the late 1600s, topiaries were also grown in America. Today it's popular in many parts of the world.16. Put the following in the right order according to the passage.a. The gardener chooses a bush for the topiary.b. The whole bush grows tall enough for shaping.c. The gardener begins to shape the bottom of the bush.d. The gardener draws the shape of a topiary.A. d-a-b-c.B. b-c-a-d.C. a-d-c-b.D. d-a-c-b.17. What does the underlined word "trimmed" in the third paragraph mean?A. shakenB. cutC. cleanedD. collected18. Why must we cut a topiary many times in the summer?A. Because the bush can be in good shape.B. Because it will make the bush grow slowly.C. Because it can change the bush into another one.D. Because it helps the bush grow tall enough.19. Growing a topiary garden take both skills and .A. moodB. luckC. moneyD. time20. The last paragraph mainly tells us that .A. topiary gardening has a long historyB. topiary gardening is too difficult an art to learnC. topiary gardening plays a great role in our lifeD. topiary gardening will be more popular in the future二、阅读与表达(表格式)（共5小题；共5分）I have many storybooks, but my favourite is The Wonderful Adventures of Nils. I have had it for five years. My parents gave it to me as a birthday gift. I have read it many times since then. It's really interesting.Nils is a 14-year-old farm boy and he is very lazy and naughty. In his free time, he likes hurting the animals on his family farm. When his parents leave him home alone, an elf(小精灵) punishes him by turning him into a midget(小矮人). Nils must improve in order to change back to his normal size.My favourite scene in the book is when Nils and a white goose(鹅) on his family farm join a group of wild geese(大雁). The wild geese are not pleased at all to be joined by a boy and a farm goose. The farm goose has to prove he can fly like the wild geese and Nils has to prove that he is useful. During the trip, Nils learns that the elf might be glad to change him back if he proves he has changed for the better.The themes of the book have to do with children growing up and peace among all living things. Although the story is very simple, the writer made it a wonderful book to read with amazing skills. Come on—read it, I know you'll enjoy it, too.根据短文内容，完成表格。

日本海啸-2
Thousands of people have been killed in a massive(大规模的) earthquake in Japan. The quake -- the most powerful to hit Japan in more than 100 years -- caused massive damage and many people are missing and feared dead.
The 8.9 magnitude quake struck Friday(March 11) off Japan's eastern coast, and prompted(引发) tsunami warnings（海啸警报）across the Pacific as far away as South America and the U.S. West Coast. Several days after a 8.9-magnitude earthquake and resulting 10-meter-high tsunami devastated the coastline. The United States Geological Survey says it was the fifth largest earthquake since 1900. The largest, with a 9.5 magnitude, shook Chile(智利) in 1960.
In Japan, the tsunami swept away boats, cars and hundreds of houses in coastal areas north of Tokyo. The quake shook buildings in the Japanese capital and caused several fires. All train and subway traffic in Tokyo has been stopped, and thousands of people there were unable to get back home. People are just trying to find clean water. Food supplies are running out. In the convenience stores, there are no rice balls left. There is no bottled water left. People are facing a really serious situation in the days ahead for these people that are living in areas that were only moderately（普通的） damaged. The final death toll could range from the thousands to tens of thousands, depending on how many of these communities are gone.
Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan said the government would do everything it can to minimize（使降到最低） the effects of the disaster. And in Washington, President Obama said the United States is ready to help the people of Japan.
