Check out our tsunami (海啸) facts and lean some interesting information
related to these great walls of water that can cause so much destruction. Find out what causes tsunamis and read about some notable recent examples of tsunamis that have occurred around the globe.
Tsunamis are huge waves of water that are usually caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
As a tsunami approaches the shore, water may move back from the coast. If it is shallow enough, the water may be pulled back hundreds of meters. If you are in the area, observing this is a good indication that a tsunami is on the way.
Regions in tsunami danger zones often have warning systems in place to give people as much time to evacuate (撤离) as possible.
When tsunamis hit shallow water (often near the coast), they slow down but increase in height.
An earthquake in the Indian Ocean off Indonesia in December 2020 caused a tsunami that killed over 200, 000 people in 14 countries.
In March 2020, the Tohoku earthquake off the eastern coast of Japan caused a tsunami that was a major factor in the death of over 15, 000 people.
The tsunami waves created by the Tohoku earthquake reached heights of over 40 metres (131feet) in mine areas, wiping out coastal towns and causing a number of nuclear accidents.
The Japanese word “tsunami” literally means “harbour wave”.
Tsunamis are sometimes referred to as tidal waves but this term has fallen out of favour because tsunamis are not related to tides.
4. Which of the following shows a tsunami is coming soon?
A. An earthquake takes place.
B. The water marches towards the coast.
C. The water near the shore is pulled back.
D. The water near the shore is very shallow.
5. In the Tohoku earthquake, over 15,000 people died mainly because of ________.
A. the earthquake itself
B. the lack of warming systems
C. the tsunami caused by the earthquake
D. the nuclear accidents caused by the tsunami
6. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The word “tsunami” is from British English.
B. The term “tidal wave” is used more often than “tsunami.”
C. Some nuclear accidents happened after Indonesia tsunami.
D. More people died in Indonesia tsunami than in Tohaku tsunami.
7. The passage is developed mainly by _________.
A. listing some facts
B. making some comparison
C. providing some numbers
D. making some conclusions
【答案】4. C 5. C 6. D 7. A
【解析】

JERUSALEM—Israel’s Environmental Protection Ministry asked citizens Wednesday to avoid unnecessary physical activity and stay indoors, as a serious sandstorm struck the Middle East in a thick yellow haze (霾) for a second day with no hope to see things clearly.
The ministry said heavy levels of dust and sand in the air were a threat to cities throughout the country. The ministry’s website advised pregnant women, the elderly and those with heart and respiratory (呼吸的) conditions to stay indoors, and asked schools to keep children indoors.
The emergency service Magen David Adom reported that it has treated more than 300 Israelis suffering from breathing problems, and that hospitals have more respiratory-related patients, including a large number of the elderly and those with asthma and related conditions.
The domestic Israeli airlines Arkia and Israir continued to ground their flights to Eilat because of reduced visibility.
The sandstorm has affected Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon and Syria, where at least five deaths have been reported.
“There has been nothing that came close to the magnitude of this sandstorm,” said Daniel Rosenfeld, a professor with the Institute of Earth Sciences at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
“While Israel has experienced a number of sandstorms in the past, they started from the Sinai Desert and the Sahara Desert to the south and were joined by winter windstorms that cleared the air,” he said. In this case, the storm comes from Syria and Iraq to the north and east.
Because the storm is hitting during the summer, at a time of both little wind and severe heat and humidity, forecasters expect the particles to remain in the air throughout the weekend and possibly into next week.
“This is really puzzling,” said Rosenfeld, adding that he and his colleague will conduct research into the origins of the unprecedented (前所未有的) storm. (326 words)
8. What’s the probable meaning of the underlined word “ground” in Paragraph 4?
A. add
B. reduce
C. cancel
D. fuel
9. It can be learned from the text that the sandstorm ________.
A. happened in winter
B. showed no sign of weakening
C. came from Syria and Iraq to the south
D. could clear the air
10. How did Rosenfeld feel about the origins of the storm?
A. confused
B. upset
C. confident
D. happy
11. Where does the text probably come from?
A. a novel
B. a news story
C. a geography book
D. a travel guide
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【分析】
本文属于新闻，介绍以色列遭受一场沙尘暴的袭击，环保部警告人们尽量不要外出，医院接待呼吸类病人增多，航班减少，预计持续到周末，其原因气候学家还没有弄清楚。

【9题详解】
推理判断题。

根据倒数第二段Because the storm is hitting during the summer, at a time of both little wind and severe heat and humidity, forecasters expect the particles to remain in the air throughout the weekend and possibly into next week.可知，由于本次沙尘暴发生在夏季，风很小，天气炎热，湿度很低，因此预测沙尘暴持续到周末，甚至到下周，故可知，沙尘暴没有显示出缓解的迹象，故选B。

【10题详解】
推理判断题。

根据最后一段This is really puzzling,” said Rosenfeld可知，这很让人疑惑，可知对此持疑惑的态度，故选A。

【11题详解】
推理判断题。

根据文章可知，介绍以色列遭受一场沙尘暴的袭击，环保部警告人们尽量不要外出，医院接待呼吸类病人增多，航班减少，预计持续到周末，故可知本文属于新闻，故选B。

Kong Zi, also called Confucius (551—479B.C.), and Socrates(苏格拉底) (469—399 B.C.) lived only a hundred years apart, and during their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece, but it is interesting to look at how the world that each of these great philosophers came from shaped their ideas, and how these ideas in turn, shaped their societies.
Neither philosopher lived in times of peace, though there were more wars in Greece than in China. The Chinese states were very large and feudal, while the Greek city-states were small and urban. The urban environment in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radical (激进的) than Confucius. Unlike Confucius, Socrates was not asked by rulers how to govern effectively. Thus, Socrates was able to be more idealistic, focusing on issues like freedom, and knowledge for its own sake. Confucius, on the other hand, advised those in government service, and many of his students went out to government service.
Confucius suggested the Golden Rule as a principle for the conduct of life: "Do not do to others what you would not want others to do to you." He assumed that all men were equal at birth, though some had more potential than others, and that it was knowledge that set men apart. Socrates focused on the
individual, and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom. He believed that the superior class should rule the inferior (下层的) classes.
For Socrates, the family was of no importance, and the community of little concern. For Confucius, however, the family was the centre of the society, with family relations considered much more important than political relations.
Both men are respected much more today than they were in their lifetimes.
12. Which of the following is TURE according to the first paragraph?
A. Socrates and Confucius had much in common
B. Confucius had much influence on Socrates’ ideas.
C. The societies were influenced by the philosophers’ ideas.
D. There were cultural exchanges between China and Greece.
13. Socrates shared with Confucius the idea that ________.
A. all men were equal when they were born
B. the lower classed should be ruled by the upper class
C. the purpose of man was to seek freedom and wisdom
14. What made some people different from others according to Confucius?
A. Family.
B. Potential.
C. Knowledge.
D. Community.
15. This passage is organized in the pattern of ________.
A. time and events
B. comparison and contrast
C. cause and effect
D. definition and classification 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. B
【解析】
试题解析:
【12题详解】
根据文章第一段最后一句后半句“and how these ideas in turn,shaped their societies”可知C项正确,而A项在第一段没有提及,B项与D项与第一段的“During their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece”不符。

【13题详解】
根据第三段最后一句“Like Confuciu s,he believed that the superior class should rule the inferior classes.”可以判断。

【14题详解】
根据文章第三段中“and that it was knowledge that set men apart.”可以判断。

【15题详解】
文章的谋篇布局主要是以比较和对照来阐述两位伟大哲学家孔子与苏格拉底的哲学思想对社会的影响以及思想观点的相似与不同的。
