一、阅读理解
A
Back-to-back hurricanes hit the U.S.Virgin Islands last fall and caused a lot of damage.The U.S.Army Corps of Engineers has collected more than 736,000 cubic yards of rubbish as they rush to clean up St.Thomas,St.John and St.Croix,the Virgin Islands’ three major islands,but there is no place to put it.Some of the rubbish is metal,some of it is wood and parts of buildings,but most of it is trees and other plants.
The Army Corps will ship the metal to the U.S.mainland to be sold.After being cut up into small parts,wood and other rubbish will be sent there,too.But it is much harder to get rid of the trees and big plants.The Army Corps wanted to burn the plant waste.It is the cheapest way to get rid of it,which was done in New York and New Jersey after Hurricane Sandy in 2012.
But people in the Virgin Islands thought it could harm their health and the health of the islands,too.The protest started on the island of St.John,which is circled by coral reefsand includes a big national park.People on St.Thomas and St.Croix joined in,too.
Sending the plant waste to the mainland is not a good
idea,either.It includes insects that could create problems in other areas.In Puerto Rico,an island in the Caribbean Sea,the Army Corps is cutting plant waste into mulch (护根),which helps improve the
soil.People in the Virgin Islands like the idea.But there may not be enough space for all of it.
And some people are tired of waiting.Raphael Munchez,whose home was damaged,is one of those people.“We need our government to get back on its feet,” he said.“It’s struggling right now.Nobody is worried about pollution right now.We are worried about getting all of this rubbish off the island.”
1.What troubled the Army Corps in the Virgin Islands?
A.The severe weather.
B.The mountains of rubbish.
C.The buildings in bad condition.
D.The damage caused by Hurricane Sandy.
2.What did people in the Virgin Islands think of burning the waste?
A.It would not be fairly effective.
B.It would not be environment-friendly.
C.It would help them rebuild their islands.
D.It would destroy coral reefs around the island.
3.What is the government doing now to get rid of the plant waste?
A.Burning it on St.Croix.
B.Sending it to the mainland.
C.Cutting all of it into mulch.
D.Still waiting for a solution.
4.What do Munchez’s words in the last paragraph suggest?
A.There will be a quick fix.
B.The burning ban wastes time.
C.The government’s struggle is worthy.
D.Pollution should be regarded as a big problem.
B
On December 26,2004,hundreds of tourists relaxed on Sri Lanka’s Yala National Park’s beaches.But at mid-morning the park’s elephants began crying wildly and running away from the ocean and up a nearby hill.The puzzled keepers could tell the animals were worried about something.But what?
What the keepers did not know was that a 30-foot wall of water was headed straight toward them.This tsunami had been caused by an earthquake more than 1,000 miles away in the Indian Ocean.When the huge wave hit the coast,it caused severe damage.Many people died.The elephants,however,were not swept away by the water.They stood safely on the hill.
Scientists have long suspected that animals sense natural disasters before humans do.People have told stories of dogs refusing to go outside and sharks swimming to deeper waters before a hurricane.After the 2004 tsunami,people said they saw
tigers,monkeys,and water buffalo escaping to higher ground before the waters rushed in.Even in the hardest-hit areas of southern
Asia,there were few animal deaths.
It’s unlikely that an animal’s so-called sixth sense comes from some magical power to see into the future.Experts believe that animals may be more sensitive than humans to changes in temperature and other environmental conditions that take place before a natural disaster.The elephants in Sri Lanka,for example,may have picked up vibrations (震动) from within the Earth,a sign that danger was coming.Because vibrations in the ground travel much faster than an ocean wave,the elephants may have felt the earthquake that caused the tsunami well before the tsunami itself came to the coast.
A few scientists are calling for a system to track reports of strange behavior in people’s pets,hoping that these reports can serve as a warning system that a natural disaster is about to happen.But Marina Haynes,an animal behavior scientist at the Philadelphia Zoo,says,“It would be an unreliable way to predict disasters.It can be difficult to know what an animal is doing.Is the animal nervous because an earthquake is about to happen or is it frightened because there is an enemy nearby?
5.What happened to the elephants in Sri Lanka’s Yala National Park on December 26,2004?
A.They died in the natural disaster.
B.They were disturbed by the tourists.
C.They moved from the hill to the seaside.
D.They behaved strangely before the tsunami.
6.How did the author present animals’ sixth sense in Paragraph 3?
A.By giving examples.
B.By making comparisons.
C.By showing research findings.
D.By telling an interesting story.
7.What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A.The advantages of being sensitive.
B.The influences of the natural disaster.
C.How animals predict a natural disaster.
D.How elephants make use of their sixth sense.
8.What is Haynes’ attitude towards a warning system?
A.Delighted.
B.Doubtful.
C.Hopeful.
D.Disappointed.

三、短文改错
Three years ago,I went to the Sunshine Coast in Thailand and take my first adventure to an underwater world.Pattaya,fascinating place,attracts many tourist from around the world every year.On arriving,I was filling with excitement because this was my first trip to the seaside.The sea was as blue as the sky and bathed in the sunshine on the beach was really an enjoyably thing.Then I started my underwater trip.At the beginning,and I had a hard time adapt my eyes to the water pressure,but after a while,I was in a paradise! I was amazed with the brightness of the tropical fish,the beauty of the sea horses as good as the power of the sharks.

一、【篇章导读】本文是新闻报道。

文章介绍了美属维尔京群岛在遭受接连不断的飓风袭击后遭受了巨大的丧失,成堆的垃圾更是无处安顿,政府想出种种要领应对此题目。

1.B 细节明白题。

根据第一段中的“The U.S.Army Corps of Engineers has collected...but there is no place to put it”可知,美国陆军工程兵团在美属维尔京群岛遇到的最大困难就是堆积成山的垃圾无处安顿。

2.B 细节明白题。

根据第三段中的“But people in the Virgin Islands thought it could harm their health and the health of the islands,too”可知,美属维尔京群岛的居民认为焚烧垃圾会危害岛上居民的健康以及岛上的生态环境。

3.D 推理判断题。

根据第四段的内容可知,政府想把植物垃圾运往美国大陆但是会给其他地区带来题目,如果全部处置惩罚为护根,又没有充足的空间,所以政府暂时没有找到一个合适的措施来处置惩罚植物垃圾。

4.B 推理判断题。

根据最后一段中Munchez的话可知,他认为政府没有必要克制点火植物垃圾,当务之急是赶紧处置惩罚失岛上的垃圾,所以他认为禁止焚烧植物垃圾的做法是在浪费时间。

【篇章导读】本文是说明文。

文章介绍了动物是怎样预测自然灾害的。

5.D 细节明白题。

根据第一段中的“But at mid-morning the park’s elephants began crying wildly...But what?”再结合下文海啸到临的形貌可知,大象在海啸来临之前体现得很变态。

6.A 写作伎俩题。

根据第三段中的“People have told stories of dogs refusing to go outside...and water buffalo escaping to higher ground before the waters rushed in”可知,作者用举例子的手法展现出动物能够提前感知自然灾害的本领。

7.C 段落大意题。

根据第四段中的“Experts believe that animals may be more sensitive than humans...before a
natural disaster”及斯里兰卡大象如何提前感知到海啸到临的例子可知,该段主要介绍了动物是怎样预测自然灾害的。

8.B 推理判断题。

根据最后一段Haynes所说的话可知,Haynes 认为这种通过观察动物异常行为来预测自然灾害的预警机制不可靠,因为人们很难分辨动物异常举动背后的真正缘由,以是她持猜疑态度。

二、【篇章导读】本文是记叙文。

文章讲述了害怕公众演讲的作者与友人交谈后开始积极转变的故事。

的作者,想要证明自己在其他领域的“技能(skills)”的那些日子已经竣事,而他现在“需要(needed)”的是交换技能。

14.D 见上题解题。
