Unit 5 The power of nature reading课时作业一、阅读理解A★★★★☆The bad condition of the economy has us all thinking about ways that we can make a living. Why not start by getting creative?Consider some little-known careers that will ensure that you stay competitive and look forward to going to work every morning. Here are several cool careers that you can choose from today.In such a busy world,more and more people carry psychological wounds,and they all need someone to talk to and need to let out their pressure. Psychiatrists who provide mental healing and psychological consultation can help them learn selfcontrol. People doing that kind of job can not only make people with psychological problems improve their life quality and work efficiently,but also make themselves gain a high salary. Using data from the past and present,futurists study how the present will develop into possible future and how humans will adapt to the technological,political,environmental and sociological changes. And they work as advisers for companies and governments,but we can regard their judgments as reference,and can't completely rely on them. We still need to consider the fact. This kind of career requires a college degree in arts or business.Image consultants advise people how to leave perfect impressions on others—through appearance,dressing up,ways of speaking,behavior and communication skills. Following the advice,these people can get ahead in their careers and social life,and strengthen their self-confidence. You can do this job even though you don't have a college degree. Many organizations,like the Training Institute School for this career in New York City,offer courses in color analysis,choosing clothes and style analysis,personal shopping and so on.Life coaches love talking to people,figuring out what makes them seem not very perfect and making plans to help them succeed in their jobs and personal life. They communicate with customers by meeting in person or over the phone on a regular basis and listen to customers' requirements,then set goals and monitor the progress. They can help you own a wonderful life. So try to choose a rising,challenging and developing career from now on.1. What can you learn from the passage?A. Psychiatrists can help those under heavy pressure.B. The futurists can predict what will happen in the future.C. To be an image consultant,.D. Life coaches can ensure that you have a job with a high salary.答案 A解析细节题。

American researchers have put together a 700-year record of the rainy seasons,which is expected to provide guidance for experts making weather predictions.Every year,moist(潮湿的)air masses,known as monsoons,produce large amounts of rainfall in India,East Asia,Northern Australia and East Africa. All this wet air is pulled in by a high pressure area over the Indian Ocean and a low pressure area to the south.According to Edward Cook,a weather expert at Columbia University in New York,the complex nature of the climate systems across Asia makes monsoons hard to predict. In addition,climate records for the area are too recent and not detailed enoughto be of much use. Therefore,he and other researchers spent more than 15 years traveling across Asia,looking for trees old enough to provide long-term records. They measured the rings inside thousands of ancient trees in more than 300 places.Rainfall has a direct link to the growth and Width of rings on some kinds of trees. The researchers put together a Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas(地图集)documenting monsoons over seven centuries,beginning in the 1,300s.“If the monsoon fails or is a very w eak one,the trees affected by monsoons at that location might have a very narrow ring,”said Professor Cook.“But if the monsoon is very strong,the trees affected by that monsoon might have a wide ring for that year.”With all the information,researchers say they can begin to improve computer climate models for predicting the behavior of monsoons.“There has been widespread starvation and loss of human life in the past during large droughts while a particularly heavy monsoon can cause serious flooding,”said Eugene Wahl,a scientist with America's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.“So,the regional moisture models,dryness and wetness over such along period of time in great detail mean a kind of victory for climate science.”1.What's the passage mainly about?A.The effects of Asian monsoons.B.The necessity of weather forecast.C.The achievements of Edward Cook.D.A breakthrough in monsoon predictions.2.It is difficult for experts to predict Asian monsoons because ________.A.it is hard to keep long-term climate recordsB.they are formed under complex climate systemsC.they influence many nationsD.there is heavy rainfall in Asia3.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Long and detailed climate records can offer useful information for monsoon research.B.The Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas has a monsoon record for about 1,300years.C.The trees affected by monsoons grow fast if the monsoon is weak.D.The rainfall might be low although the monsoon is strong in monsoon-affected areas.4.According to Professor Cook,the rings of the trees ________.A.determine the regional climateB.have a great influence on the regional climateC.offer people information about the regional rainfallD.reflect all kinds of regional climate information5.What do we know about the research according to Eugene Wahl?A.It is a great achievement in climate science.B.It should include information about human life in the past.C.It has analyzed moisture models worldwide.D.It will help people prevent droughts and floods.BIt is widely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather. Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr. Johnson's famous comment that “When two English meet, their first talk is of weather.” Though Johnson's observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago, most commentators fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this English weather-speak.Bill Bryson, for example, concludes that, as the English weather is not at all exciting, the obsession with it can hardly be understood. He argues that “To an outsider, the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it.” Simply, the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.Jeremy Paxman, however, disagrees with Bryson, arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive. Bryson is wrong, he says, because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena. “The interest is less in the phenom ena themselves, but in uncertainty.” According to him, the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.Bryson and Paxman stand for common misconceptions about the weather-speak among the English. Both commentators, somehow, are missing the point. The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all. English weather-speak is a system of signs, which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other. Everyone knows conversations starting with weather-speak are not requests for weather data. Rather, they are routine greetings, conversation starters or the blank “fillers”. In other words, English weather -speak is a means of social bonding.6.The author mentions Dr. Johnson's comment to show that________.A.most commentators agree with Dr. JohnsonB.Dr. Johnson is famous for his weather observationC.the comment was accurate two hundred years agoD.English conversations usually start with the weather7.What does the underlined word “obsession” most probably refer to?A.A social trend.B.An emotional state.C.A historical concept.D.An unknown phenomenon.8.According to the passage,Jeremy Paxman believes that________.A.Bill Bryson has little knowledge of the weatherB.there is nothing special about the English weatherC.the English weather attracts people to the British IslesD.English people talk about the weather for its uncertainty9.What is the author's main purpose of writing the passage?A.To explain what English weather-speak is about.B.To analyse misconceptions about the English weather.C.To find fault with both Bill Bryson and Jeremy Paxman.D.To convince people that the English weather is changeable.Ⅳ.翻译句子1.据说,这个小女孩在英语考试中得了第一。

Unit 5 the power of nature reading课时作业高考试题一(2017·北京卷阅读理解)Measles(麻疹), which once killed 450 children each year and disabled even more, was nearly wiped out in the United States 14 years ago by the universal use of the MMR vaccine(疫苗). But the disease is making a comeback, caused by a growing anti-vaccine movement and misinformation that is spreading quickly. Already this year, 115 measles cases have been reported in the USA, compared with 189 for all of last year.The numbers might sound small, but they are the leading edge of a dangerous trend. When vaccination rates are very high, as they still are in the nation as a whole, e veryone is protected. This is called “herd immunity”, which protects the people who get hurt easily, including those who can’t be vaccinated for medical reasons, babies too young to get vaccinated and people on whom the vaccine doesn’t work.But herd immunity works only when nearly the whole herd joins in. When some refuse vaccination and seek a free ride, immunity breaks down and everyone is in even bigger danger.That’s exactly what is happening in small neighborhoods around the country from Orange Coun ty, California, where 22 measles cases were reported this month, to Brooklyn, N.Y., where a 17-year-old caused an outbreak last year.The resistance to vaccine has continued for decades, and it is driven by a real but very small risk. Those who refuse to take that risk selfishly make others suffer.Making things worse are state laws that make it too easy to opt out(决定不参加) of what are supposed to be required vaccines for all children entering kindergarten. Seventeen states allow parents to get an exemption(豁免), sometimes just by signing a paper saying they personally object to a vaccine.Now, several states are moving to tighten laws by adding new regulations for opting out. But no one does enough to limit exemptions.Parents ought to be able to opt out only for limited medical or religious reasons. But personal opinions? Not good enough. Everyone enjoys the life-saving benefits vaccines provide, but they’ll exist only as long as everyoneshares in the risks.1. The first two paragraphs suggest that ____________.A.a small number of measles cases can start a dangerous trendB.the outbreak of measles attracts the public attentionC.anti-vaccine movement has its medical reasonsD.information about measles spreads quickly2. Herd immunity works well when ____________.A.exemptions are allowedB.several vaccines are used togetherC.the whole neighborhood is involved inD.new regulations are added to the state laws3. What is the main reason for the comeback of measles?A.The overuse of vaccine.B.The lack of medical care.C.The features of measles itself.D.The vaccine opt-outs of some people.4. What is the purpose of the passage?A.To introduce the idea of exemption.B.To discuss methods to cure measles.C.To stress the importance of vaccination.D.To appeal for equal rights in medical treatment.【话题解读】本文主要是介绍了麻疹在历史上带来的危害,以及为什么会发生这样的情况。

AEven though you can watch a movie on your TV, laptop or iPad these days, great theatres still make going to the movies worth buying a ticket-and sometimes even worth a trip.1.AMC Loews Uptown, Washington, D.C.Local movie critics will tell you "The Uptown"is the best place to see a movie in the Washington, D.C. area. Op ened in 1936, it’s not a movie theatre, but a movie palace featuring a single screen—a curved (弧形的), 70-foot long and 40-foot high screen, one of the largest in the area.2.ArcLight Cinemas Hollywood, Los AngelesThis Hollywood theatre isn’t just a place t o see stars on screen you might catch a few sitting next to you in the audience. The theatre offers 14 screens with reserved stadium seating (the seats are wider than average), and the famous Cinerama Dome (全景电影).3.Tampa Theatre, Tampa, FloridaA classic movie palace designed by famed theatre architect John Eberson, the Tampa landmark was built in 1926. The theatre now shows both new and classic films. Come early to hear the Mighty Wurlitzer theatre organ played before most films.4.Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, Los AngelesIt’s not just a movie theatre. It’s a Hollywood experience. Opened in 1927, the theatre was known in its early days for lavish (奢华的) Hollywood premieres (首映) and hosting three Academy Award ceremonies. Check out the nearby Hollywood Walk of Fame before watching a movie on the big screen, and when your movie is over, stop by the next-door Kodak Theatre, where the Oscars were once held.1.What do ArcLight Cinemas Hollywood and Grauman’s Chinese Theatre have in common?A. They both hosted the Oscars.B. They were built in the same year.C. They offer presents to customers.D. They are situated in the same city.2.What can we learn about Tampa Theatre?A. It was opened in 1936.B. It has a single curved screen.C. It has an outdoor courtyard.D. It offers Mighty Wurlitzer play.3.What is the text mainly about?A. Famous buildings in the USA.B. Four largest theatres in the world.C. Four theatres worth visiting in America.D. Modern theatres with advanced facilities.BWant to help fight global warming? Take off your tie, says the Italian health ministry.It has urged employers to let their staff dress casually at work in the summer so that the air conditioning can be turned down."Taking your tie off immediately lowers the body temperature by 2 or 3 degrees centigrade, "the ministry said in a statement. "Allowing a more sensible use of air conditioning brings about electricity savings and protects the environment."It called on all public and private offices to let employees wear no tie during heat waves like the one that has brought Africa-like temperatures to many parts of Italy this week.The move echoes (回应) a similar action from Italy’s biggest oil group, ENI, which told its staff earlier this month they need not wear a tie at work.The tie makers, however, were left hot under the collar."Italy confirms that it is a strange country,"Flavio Cima said angrily in a letter to financial daily Il Sole 24 ORE under the headline: "I, tie maker, am responsible for global warming.""We can now happily continue with our lifestyle, using cars, consuming fuel, heating and cooling our homes at leisure. On one condition: we should not wear a tie while we do so,"he wrote."I should have listened to my friends and become an oil producer instead."Italy is one of the European Union’s worst performers on the pollution front and is among the EU countries expected to exceed(超出) their greenhouse gas emission (排放) targets.4.What’s the purpose of the move of taking off ties?A. To dress casually.B. To fight global warming.C. To keep the body temperature.D. To improve working conditions.5.Who first encouraged employees to take off ties?A.ENI.B. Flavio Cima.C.A financial daily.D. The Italian health ministry.6.What does the underlined part "hot under the collar"in Paragraph 6 probably mean?A. Angry.B. Speechless.C. Delighted.D. Puzzled.7.Which of the following is TRUE about Flavio Cima?A. He stands by the oil group.B. He agrees with the ministry.C. He admits his responsibility.D. He argues against taking off ties.CExperts believe that storms and severe weather in North America and Asia have disrupted bird flight paths across the world and swept huge numbers of bird species towards the British Isles.Birds flying to the other side of the Atlantic or to the Pacific to lay their eggs have been trapped in Britain and Ireland, adding their numbers to native species, and causing great excitement in the bird-watching community.Local birdwatchers have already observed a total of 442 species in the British Isles this year. The highest number ever seen in one year is 445, in 2008."We only need four more to break our record,"said Lee Evans, who runs the British Birding Association. "With three months to go, I’m sure we’ll do it."Last month an extremely rare Siberian Rubythroat bird was seen in Scotland, sending hundreds of birdwatchers north in the hope of catching a glimpse of this colourful Asian beauty. Another very uncommon bird, the bufflehead duck was cited in Cornwell and caused similar excitement. "I couldn’t believe it,"said Evans. "The poor thing was completely knackered. It must have been blown to England by the storms while trying to fly from Canada to the southern United States for the winter. That’s 3000 miles!"Evans said that global warming over the past decade was playing a key role in transforming bird movements across the world. In addition, melting Arctic sea ice may also be opening up bird flight paths over the North Pole, making it easier for birds from the Pacific—such as the slaty-backed gull and tufted puffin, both of which appeared in London earlier this year—to reach Britain.Bird-watching is becoming an increasingly popular hobby among all age groups, added Evans. "A fifth of our members are under 18. This is a round-the-year hobby that you can enjoy from the kitchen window or from a car. More and more people are bird-watching, and as a result, more and more unexpected species are being spotted in the British Isles."zx&xk8.What is the passage mainly about?A. The results of global warming.B. Changes in the British bird population.C. Increasing environmental pollution.D. Worsening British weather.9.The underlined word "knackered"is closest in meaning to ________.A. boredB. knockedC. spottedD. tired10.According to the passage, which of the following birds comes from Asia?A. Slaty-backed gull.B. Bufflehead.C. Rubythroat.D. Tufted puffin.11.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a possible reason for seeing more bird species in Britain?A. An increase in the number of birdwatchers.B.A growth in the number of native species.C. Storms due to global warming.D. The melting Arctic ice cap.DWhere should an adventurous tourist go? After you’ve done sightseeing in London, shopping in New York, enjoyed the local food in Paris, and danced to your heart’s content at the Brazilian carnival, where else can you go? What attractive tourist destination awaits you?Well, Antarctica sounds like the holiday of a lifetime! It's considered the last great wilderness on Earth. Just a few scientists in research stations share the icy landscape with penguins and other animals which can struggle with the low temperatures.Tourism began in Antarctica in the 1950s and it's still small part. About 37,000 tourists are expected there this season, but many won't even leave the boat.The BBC’s Juliet Rix visited the frozen continent and asked herself if she should be there at all, causing potential problems to such a sensitive environment. Her tour guide admitted that all visitors leave a footprint and they all go to the same places, the accessible coastline, which is also where the penguins and seals go to raise.But some people believe that if carefully controlled, tourism can be good for Antarctica. It has no native population and it needs advocates. Visitors to the icy continent might be ready to support and even to fund its preservation. And they're likely to engage in the discussion about global warming, which has led to the melting of glaciers.According to Rix, guidelines are followed when you’re about to set foot in Antarctica and tourists have to disinfect(消毒)their boots to make sure no alien species are introduced.And once on land, there's no eating or smoking. Rocks, bone fragments—nothing should be taken as a souvenir and nothing should be left behind.Tourists fortunate enough to visit the Antarctic must be aware that this is not their home and keep their fingers crossed that future generations will also be able to enjoy such breathtaking views.12.Who lives in Antarctica?A.37,000 tourists.B. The BBC's Juliet Rix.C.A few scientists and animals.D. People in London and Paris.13.Why can tourism be good for Antarctica?A. People can bring some animals into it.B. People may take interest in the protection of it.C. People can give advice to the native population.D. People will go to the coastline to play with the seals.14.What are the guidelines when you go on the shore?A. You can leave rubbish on the shore.B. You can smoke and eat on the shore.C. You can take something as souvenirs.D. You can help to protect the environment.15.What is the author’s attitude towards the tourists going to Antarctica?A. Positive.B. Ambiguous.C. Subjective.D. Negative.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Unit 5 The power of nature Reading课时作业Ⅰ.单句语法填空1.The programme presented a balanced(balance) view of the two sides of the conflict.2.In face of failure, it is most important to keep up a good state of mind.3.She studied very hard in a college and stood(stand) out among the students.4.His rapid promotion(promote) caused much bad feeling among his colleagues.5.She must learn to adapt to new environments and to be independent.6.At the end of the concert, the audience rose to their feet to applaud and cheer.7.With so many problems to settle(settle), the manager had a hard time.8.Trapped(trap) in loveless marriages, many women feel that life is colorless.Ⅱ.句型转换1.The weather was even colder as the wind was blowing.→The weather was even colder with the wind blowing.2.He didn't finish his homework until midnight.→Not until midnight did he finish his homework.3.The heavy snow lasted for a week, and caused a serious traffic confusion in the whole area.→The heavy snow lasted for a week, causing a serious traffic confusion in the whole area.4.He was the first teacher who won a prize in the national English contest.→He was the first teacher to win a prize in the national English contest.5.The firefighters have successfully rescued people who were trapped in the burning building.→The firefighters have successfully rescued people trapped in the burning building.III.阅读理解Penguins are the number-one attraction for many visitors to Antarctica.If you go on a ship that is allowed to make shore landings,you may see them.But to get a close look at penguins,you have to be smart.First of all,keep in mind that Antarctica's visitor rules require that you remain at least five meters away from the penguins in order not to disturb them.You could easily become responsible for the death of a little penguin or the destruction of an egg if your too-close presence should disturb a penguin parent.If a penguin is trying to move away from you,you must stop what you're doing and back off even if you're farther than five meters away.However,the rules don't prevent a curious penguin from approaching within five meters of you—as long as the bird makes the move,not you.Little penguins,in particular,are quite curious.I've seen several lucky tourists who were astonished to find that little penguins came right up to them.If a penguin comes extremely close to you,remember:you are not allowed to touch or hold them.Here are more tips for getting close to penguins:Ignore the smell:where penguins live is filled with guano(海鸟粪) and the smell takes sometime to get used to.Be quiet because loud noises make penguins nervous.Fast or sudden movements signal meat­eating animals to penguins,and they react accordingly,so slow down when you walk around them.Since it may take half an hour or more before the penguins get used to you,you need to be patient.Put away your camera—too often people are so focused on getting the pictures that they forget to look with their own eyes,but most of your most memorable experiences in Antarctica will be marked in your mind,not on a roll of films.【语篇解读】本文主要告诉读者们靠近企鹅后该如何做。

Experts recommend you plan your meals in advance, so you aren’t tempted when faced with less-than-healthy alternatives. But, let’s face it —planning every meal can be really hard. The average American eats almost 25 percent of their daily calories from snacking alone, and snacking is the leading cause of childhood obesity.Therefore, there are two options available: Stop snacking (hard) or snack more healthily (simple). But, for many of us, telling apart what’s "healthy" and how much to consume are two different things. After all, many nuts are considered heart healthy. But, if you don’t keep the portions in check it can seriously ruin your diet. It’s e asy to consume double or triple the serving size amount. If you’re struggling to keep you and your family’s snacking under control and healthy, you may be interested in the new online subscription store called .

By joining a club.CMillions of teenagers are in danger of putting their health at risk by getting hooked on e-cigarettes, experts warn. Leading health researchers say they are “very concerned” by the growing number of youngsters trying the devices.E-cigarettes have been marketed as a healthier alternative to smoking conventional cigarettes.But previous research shows e-cigarettes generate poisonous chemicals similar to those found in tobacco and may harm the lungs and immune system.Worryingly, researchers at Liverpool University discovered 16% of teenagers who have used e-cigarettes had never previously smoked. The experts also found e-cigarettes were “strongly related” to drinking among teenagers. Study author Prof. Mark Bellis said, “Our research suggests that we should be very concerned about teenagers accessing e-cigarettes. While debate on e--cigarettes has focused largely on whether or not they act as a gateway to tobacco cigarette use, e--cigarettes themselves contain a highly addictive drug that may have more serious and longer lasting impacts on children because their brains are still developing.”Researchers surveyed 16, 000 students aged 14 to 17 in the North West of England and asked them about their alcohol and tobacco use. They found that one in five answered yes to the question: “Have you ever bought or tried electronic cigarettes?” More males than females said they had.z*xxkOf the teenagers that had accessed e-cigarettes, 16% had never smoked, 23% had tried smoking, 12% only smoked when drinking, and 14% were ex-smokers. The research also found teenagers who drank alcohol were significantly more likely to have accessed e-cigarettes than nondrinkers.Among those who had never smoked, it was found that those who regularly have excessive (过多的) drinking were four times more likely to access e-cigarettes than those who never drink. In all of those that drink, regardless of smoking status, e-cigarette access was associated with excessive drinking and involvement with violence after drinking. The researchers said their findings suggest that teenagers who use e-cigarettes are most susceptible to other forms of substance use and risk-taking behaviors.8.How have e-cigarettes been promoted in the market?A.As a healthier substitute for traditional cigarettes.B.As a product preventing smokers from using tobacco products.C.As a device meeting the mental needs of smokers.D.As a new device promoted among youngsters.9.What do we learn from the survey made in the North West of England?A.E-cigarettes are now widely available and heavily promoted.B. The number of adult cigarette smokers is dropping at present.C. Teenagers are very knowledgeable about alcohol and tobacco use.D.E-cigarette access is linked to excessive drinking and violence after it.10.Which of the following can replace the underlined words “susceptible to” in the last paragraph?A. Greatly interested inB. Commonly accustomed toC. Deeply disappointed atD. Easily influenced by11.What's the main idea of the passage?A. Experts are concerned about excessive drinking in teenagers.B. The harm of the e-cigarettes is greater than that of alcohol.C. Teenagers are in danger of risking their health on e-cigarettes.D. Researchers are aware of smoker elated health harm.DThe Diet Zone: A Dangerous PlaceDiet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat di et, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically.Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale(秤)instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients. Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has createdchemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological and physical harm that comes from using them.12.From Paragraph 1, we learn that ________.A. diet products fail to bring out people’s potentialB. people have difficulty in choosing diet productsC. diet products are misleading peopleD. people are fed up with diet products13.One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to _____.A. try out a variety of diet foodsB. hesitate before they enjoy diet foodsC. pay attention to their own eating habitsD. watch their weight rather than their diet14.In Paragraph 3, “gain comes without pain” probably means ______.A. losing weight is effortlessB.it costs a lot to lose weightC. diet products bring no painD. diet products are free from calories15.Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products ______.A. are over-consumedB. lack basic nutrientsC. are short of chemicalsD. provide too much energy第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)【解析】根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

In some parts of the world there are“fire mountains”,which we call volcanoes. From time to time they burst open and throw out fire and burning ashes. These volcanoes are very dangerous.There are many volcanoes in Indonesia and Philippines. There is also a famous mountain near Tokyo,Japan,which is a volcano too. Its name is Mount Fuji. For much of the year,it is covered with snow.One of the most famous volcanoes which erupted in recent time is Krakatoa,on an island in Indonesia. The first explosion took place on 20th May,1883,but the biggest eruption did not come until the 26th and 27th August of that year. The people on the island were used to the explosions by that time,and so they were completely unprepared for this terrible happening. Almost all the people on the island died and the explosion also made huge waves in the sea,which drowned(淹死)many people on the other island nearby. After the eruption was over,people saw that the whole northern part of the island had completely disappeared. Scientists say that 15 cubic(立方)kilometers of rocks and ash were thrown up in the explosion. The noise of the explosion was heard nearly 5000 kilometers away in the middle of the Indian Ocean,and the city of Jakarta was completely dark for about two and a half hours.1.There are many volcanoes ________.A.everywhere in the worldB.under the earth and the seaC.in Hong KongD.in Indonesia2.The people near Krakatoa were unprepared when it had its biggest eruption because people there ________.A.had never met any explosions beforeB.were used to the explosions by that timeC.didn't want to leave their islandD.could do nothing but wait3.People who were 5000 kilometers away from Krakatoa could ________.A.see that the 15 cubic kilometers of rocks and ash were thrown upB.hear the noise of the explosionC.see the huge wavesD.see that Krakatoa was dark4.The biggest explosion made ________.A.all the people on the island dieB.the whole island disappearC.the city of Jakarta completely dark for about two and a half hoursD.huge waves in the middle of the Indian OceanⅤ.翻译句子1.我刚要上床睡觉,这时有人敲门。
