Unit 4 单元测试题第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
APhiladelphia (CNN) — Hazel Donnelly was taking her husband to the doctor when they got a call that their building was on fire.Her first thought was about Kramer. “I don’t have children of my own, so my cat is like my child. I became very sad,” said Donnelly, 50. “What if he didn’t make it?”Once she arrived home, Donnelly asked firefighters (消防员) to get her cat, but they were busy trying to control the fire. Then Red Paw Emergency Relief Team arrived. The organization helps pets and their owners for free when disaster strikes. Jen Leary, who set up the group, helped find the animals once the fire was out.“Everyone who received their pets started to cry,” said Donnelly.No one was hurt, but the Donnellys’ building was badly damaged, and they weren’t sure where they were going to stay. Donnelly was excited to learn that Red Paw could provide free short-term care for Kramer, her 17-year-old cat.“When someone loses everything in a fire, they shouldn’t then be forced to lose their pets — their family members — as well,” Leary said. “Letting them know, ‘We’ll take care of your animal like it is our own’means the world to people.”After a big fire in 2011, Leary formed her organization. Since then, Leary and her group have provided help to nearly 1,000 animals and their families throughout southeastern Pennsylvania. Like the Red Cross, but for animals.Red Paw cared for the Donnellys’ cat for more than three weeks. “I cried when we were reunited,”said Donnelly. “They went above and beyond the call of duty. I am so thankful.”For Leary, helping families and their pets is what her work is all about. “My hope is that it’s a start, and they can move forward together,”she said. “After going through such a sad thing, it’s so good to have a happy ending.”21. We can infer from the text that Kramer is _____.A. Donnelly’s husbandB. Donnelly’s childC. a firefighterD. a cat22. What do we know about Red Paw?A. It offers help to pets and their families.B. It was set up by Hazel Donnelly.C. It belongs to the Red Cross.D. It saves people in disasters.23. The fire in the Donnellys’ building _____.A. took many people’s livesB. caused great damage to the buildingC. left Donnelly seriously hurtD. led to the loss of a family member24. Who looked after Kramer for a long time after the fire?A. A doctor.B. Jen Leary.C. Red Paw.D. The Red CrossBWelcome to Death Valley. The very name of this national park in eastern California might fill some people with dread, but you’re not afraid. You’re just out enjoying the desert sunshine. Besides, there’s nothing out here but some rocks.Some of the rocks in Death Valley weigh hundreds of pounds. And in the ground behind each rock is a mysterious trail (痕迹), as if the rock had been pushed along in the dirt.So who is moving the rocks? Nobody. It was nearly 100 years ago when these unusual “sailing stones” were first reported. People have been trying to find out the stones’ secret ever since. One early explanation was that winds were moving the stones. Other explanations have included animals, and, of course, aliens (外星人).Until the 1990s, one widely held theory was that the rocks were stuck in sheets (片) of ice that were being blown across the desert. (Death Valley does get cold enough for ice to form on some winter nights.) However, research later showed that to move such large ice sheets, the wind would have to blow at hundreds of miles per hour. There are strong winds in Death Valley — but not that strong.Then, in 2006, a scientist named Ralph Lorenz came up with a new theory. He suggested that in the winter, thick ice forms around the rocks. When the ground begins to thaw (解冻), the rocks, wearing ice, sail along, leaving trails behind them. Lorenz put his theory to the test in his own kitchen. He dropped a rock into a dish, added a little water, and stuck the dish in his fridge. Later, he took out the rock and placed it in a dish of water with sand at the bottom. Sure enough, with just a breath, Lorenz was able to send the rock moving across the water —leaving a trail in the sand as it moved.Has Lorenz solved the mystery of the sailing stones at last? Perhaps. On the other hand, neither Lorenz nor anyone else has ever actually seen the stones move. Maybe aliens are responsible after all.25. The underlined word “dread” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_____”.A. fearB. angerC. surpriseD. excitement26. According to the theory in the late 20th century, the rocks were probably moved by _____.A. the iceB. the windC. aliensD. animals27. What did Ralph Lorenz find?A. The wind in Death Valley could reach a speed of 100 mph.B. The rocks in Death Valley couldn’t move by themselves.C. Death Valley could get cold enough for ice to form.D. Water helped the rocks in Death Valley move.CDear friends and colleagues (同事) of Tom Blumenthal,We are organizing a celebration honoring Tom’s research career (生涯).

When asked how I was going to pay, I opened my purse to get my credit card (信用卡). It wasn’t there!Nell and I looked at each other in shocked silence. Then, from the line behind us, a voice asked, “How much do you need?”When I said we would need $300 to get us through our first week, the kind man gave us the needed money. We discovered he and his wife were returning home to Toronto a couple of weeks later on the same flight as we were, so we made sure to see them to return the money and give them a gift to thank them.I later found out I had left my card at a garage (加油站) in Torontoa week before our vacation. When I called the garage, they actually sent the card to us in Florida, where it arrived safely just a few days later.Tom, North York, OntarioI travelled by bus to Halifax to visit my brother George. After he had met me at the terminal (终点站), we caught another bus to his house. We got off so quickly, though, that I forgot my purse. George ran after the bus but couldn’t catch up to it.Then I phoned the bus terminal to explain what had happened. Being in a city where I knew only a few people, I really didn’t think I’d ever see my purse and money again. But a few hours later there came a knock on the door. It was a security officer (保安), and he was holding my purse!“A passenger gave it to our driver,” he said. And then he asked me to see if anything was missing; everything was still there.Connie, Antigonish, Nova Scotia31. What happened to Tom?A. His credit card didn’t work.B.

【新教材】人教版（2019）高一英语必修第一册Unit4 单元测试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、阅读理解In late March, storms and rapid temperature shifts in several Midwestern states led to unexpected flooding. For Nebraska, it was the worst disaster in the state's history: 76 of 93 counties have had to apply for aid, with damage approximately $1.3 billion. Many families are receiving assistance for repairs to homes, farms, and infrastructure (基础设施).Although it has been a destructive time for Midwestern farm counties, many volunteers have joined in despite the dangers. For volunteer Lynn Caniglia, the feeling that comes from "helping families" is all the payment she needs.Another girl called Jeanie Goodhile talked about her efforts. She raised disabled animals on her farm in Valley, Nebraska. The floods ruined her land and nearly killed all she owned. "When the water came, I had 20 minutes to save all of my animals," Goodhile said. "When I attempted to get some animals out of their pens(畜栏), they wouldn't come out." Across the Midwest, three people and more than 2.3 million animals died in the flooding. Goodhile is grateful for the first volunteers who risked their lives to save others.Volunteers from as far away as Ohio and North Carolina rescued people trapped and are now providing supplies to those in need and helping to rebuild. "I assess homes to see if they're safe to live in after all of the damage," said volunteer Steve Metcalph. "Several steps need to be taken to ensure that a house is safe and habitable after flooding. Cleaning out a home and making repairs after flood damage can be a tough, complex process. Roads, bridges, and highways were also damaged. Most of the highways and roads have reopened, but nearly one million homes are still awaiting clean-ups."1.Which of the following best describes Nebraska's situation in late March?A. Terrible.B. Changeable.C. Pleasant.D. Effective.2.What happened to Jeanie Goodhile's farm?A.Her efforts to save some animals were in vain.B.The flood didn't kill any animal on the farm.C.There was no volunteer to help save the farm.D.She had no time to save the animals on the farm.3.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Survivors in the floodB.A joint effort to save animalsC.The government's great contributionsD.Volunteers helping victims through floodThe scientific study of earthquakes is comparatively new. Until the 18th century, few factual descriptions of earthquakes were recorded, and the natural causes of earthquakes were not well understood.The earliest earthquake for which we have descriptive information occurred in China in 1177 BC. The Chinese earthquake catalog (目录) describes several dozen large earthquakes in China during the next few thousand years. Earthquakes in Europe were mentioned as early as 580 BC, but the earliest for which we have some descriptive information occurred in the mid-16th century. The earliest known earthquakes in the Americas were in Mexico in the late 14th century and in Peru in 1471, but descriptions of the effects were not well recorded. By the 17th century, descriptions of the effects of earthquakes were being published around the world.The most widely felt earthquakes in the recorded history of North America were a series that occurred in 1811-1812 near New Madrid, Missouri. A great earthquake, whose magnitude is reported to have been about 8, occurred on the morning of December 16, 1811. Another great earthquake occurred on January 23, 1812, and a third, the strongest yet, on February 7, 1812. Aftershocks (余震) were nearly continuous between these great earthquakes and continued for months afterwards. These earthquakes were felt by people as far away as Boston and Denver. Because the population in these regions was small, the destruction of human life and property was slight.The San Francisco earthquake of 1906 was one of the most destructive in the recorded history of North America——the earthquake and the fire that followed killed nearly 700 people and left the city in ruins.1. When did published descriptions of the effects of earthquakes become popular in the world?A. In the 1300s.B. In the 1400s.C. In the 1500s.D. In the 1600s.2. What do we know about the earthquakes in 1811-1812 in North America?A. They killed a large number of people.B. They occurred in San Francisco.C. They could be felt very far away.D. They almost destroyed entire cities.3. What can we infer from the passage?A. Few earthquakes were scientifically studied before the 18th century.B. Earthquakes can be avoided with the development of technology.C. Most of the early earthquakes caused little damage.D. People haven't found the causes of earthquakes so far.4. What's the best title for this passage?A. The scientific study of earthquakesB. Earthquakes in historyC. The effects of earthquakes on humansD. Why earthquakes occurA food delivery man defeated a master from Peking University and won CCTV's Chinese Poetry Conference on April 4,2018. Lei Haiwei kept calm during the final of the third season of CCTV's Chinese Poetry Conference on Wednesday night, becoming the champion after defeating Peng Min, a master of literature from China's top university.Lei, from Shaoyang in Hunan, is now working as a food delivery man in Hangzhou of Zhejiang. His interest in poetry was inspired by his father, who would write poems down, stick them on the wall of the kitchen and teach him to read them from a young age.Lei missed the opportunity of going to university due to frequent school transfers when he was growing up. But that didn't diminish his passion for poetry. Since he was too poor to buy books, Lei would memorize poems in bookstores and write them out when he returned home. He used this unique method to accumulate more than 1,000 poems.Though Lei came to Hangzhou in 2008 and works as a fast food courier, his love for poems hasn't faded. On his busiest work days, the courier has to deliver more than 50 orders a day. Even so, he seized any available moment to recite poems. "For example, I am used to reciting poems when I wait for food at restaurants and traffic lights on my way to deliver food. Reciting poems not only enriches my knowledge, but also makes my job less boring," the courier said.In November, 2017, Lei went to Beijing and began recording the TV show after standing out from more than 70,000 people who signed up for the competition. After winning, Lei returned to Hangzhou and continues his delivery work and the memorizing of poems.Lei's outstanding performance during the final, and his inspirational story, have amazed Chinese audiences."His love of learning is so pure, it moved me to tears,"one netizen said "It always amazes me how some people simply hunger for knowledge," another shared.1.Why did Lei Haiwei have no chance to go to college?A.His family was very poor. .He was fascinated with poems.C.He was too busy to study. .He often changed schools.2.The underlined word "diminish" in the third paragraph can be replaced by "_______" .A.inspireB.increaseC.reduce .encourage3.What does Paragraph 4 mainly tells us?A.Lei's work is delivering food for others.B.Lei’s daily life is highly stressful at present.C.Lei uses any available time to recite poems.D.Reciting poems improves his knowledge.4.How did people find Lei's story?A.Interesting.B.Inspiring.C.Fascinating.D.Shocking.When an earthquake hit a small town, many houses fell down. After the earthquake, all the newspapers reported many stories about some of the families who were in trouble.One Sunday, when I was reading a newspaper, a special picture touched me. It gave the clothing sizes of each family member. I thought that this would be a good chance to teach my children to help those who were less lucky than themselves. I said to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and three-year-old Meghan, "We have so much, and these poor people now have nothing. We'll share what we have with them."I filled a box with foods and clothes. While I was doing this, I encouraged the boys to choose their toys and donate some of their less favourite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out their old toys and games and put them together. Then she walked away. A few minutes later, she came back with Lucy, her much-loved doll. She put the doll on top of the other toys. "Oh, dear," I said. "You don't have to give Lucy. You love her so much." Meghan said, "Lucy makes me happy, Mummy. Maybe she'll make another little girl happy, too."I looked at Meghan for a long moment. She taught me a lesson. It's easy to give something that we don't want any more, but hard to give what we cherish(珍爱), isn't it?1.The writer has _______ children.A. oneB. twoC. threeD. four2.The underlined word "donate" in Paragraph 3 probably means "_______".A. 捐赠B. 丢掉C. 展出D. 放好3.What's the best title for this passage?A. A Family StoryB. The Spirit of GivingC. The Way of Helping OthersD. A Sad Experience二、七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。

In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not too long. And if he is sensing that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable.The same is true in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down, to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry towards others, staring at you that way. Eyes do speak, right?Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex. If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to move his gaze, his intentions are obvious, that is, he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is admiring her.However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in a conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure thatthe listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking, and to tell him that he is attentive.If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to dominate you. you will feel uncomfortable. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes in the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. Quite the contrary.In fact, continuous eye contact is confined to lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show affection that words cannot express.Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.1.Which of the following behaviour is proper according to the passage?A.To the opposite sex, stare at him or her.B.To a stranger, avoid looking at him or her.C.In a conversation, look at the listener all the time.D.Make eye contact depending on the relationship and different situations.2.If two persons exchange eye contact gently for a long time, what is probably their relationship?A. Boss and employee.B. Lovers.C. Teacher and student.D. Strangers.3.What's the best title of the passage?A. Don't Stare at OthersB. Body language Is ImportantC. Eyes Can SpeakD. Eye Contact Benefits YouCHow many different emotions do you think you can communicate to people with your face? Do you have the same facial expressions as the people from different cultures? Read this passage to find out what scientists have just discovered about this topic.New research suggests that there are only four basic facial expressions of emotion. However, how these expressions are interpreted(解释) might depend on where you are from. Research by scientists from the Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of Glasgow has challenged the traditional view of how the face expresses emotions. It was widely believed that six basic emotions (happiness,sadness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust) were expressed and recognized across different cultures. However, the University of Glasgow's work now suggests that the human face only has four basic expressions of emotion. This is because some pairs of emotions are impossible to distinguish(辨别). Fear and surprise, for example, both share wide open eyes. The facial expressions for anger and disgust also look the same. So if our faces are only able to express four basic emotions, how do we communicate a much more complex(复杂的) kind of feeling? The study found that the way expressions are interpreted is different in different cultures. However, while looking at how people from the East and West look at different parts of the face during facial expression recognition, scientists found that although there are some common features across cultures, the six basic facial expressions of emotion are not recognized universally.What interests people about the cross-cultural aspect of the research? This work leads to understanding which emotions we share and appreciating our differences.1.What did the University of Glasgow find?A.Six basic emotions greatly influence our character.B.Six basic emotions can be recognized.C.It is easy to tell from the basic facial expressions.D.Some of the six facial expressions are similar.2.Which group may be the four basic facial expressions of emotion?A.Sadness, fear, anger and surprise.B.Anger, sadness, fear and happiness.C.Happiness, surprise, sadness and fear.D.Disgust, happiness, anger and sadness.3.What can we learn according to Paragraph 3?A.Basic facial expressions are not universal.B.Facial expressions can't show complex feelings.C.Western people have more kinds of facial expressions.D.The way to express emotions changes with time.4.Which is the proper title for the passage?A.What Does Your Face Say?B.How Do We Communicate?C.What Are the Six Basic Emotions?D.Do We Have the Same Expressions?DI went to a New York Mets fantasy camp in 1995, an incredible experience. I was fortunate to be on a team whose pitching coach was Mel Stottlemyre, the formerYankees star pitcher (投手)and Mets and Yankees coach. I was upset when Mel died of cancer on Jan. 13, 2018, at the age of 77.He was warm, friendly and treated us as if we were major leagues. He asked me whether I would like to pitch and showed me how to throw a "two-seamer", a fastball that tends to sink, as well as a straight four-seam fastball. I knew that pitching was not for me. At age 45, my experience in organizing baseball was limited to a couple of years in Little League in the Bronx, and softball games as an adult. Mel eventually left the Mets and became the pitching coach for the Yankees. I followed his career and knew about his diagnosis (诊断)of multiple myeloma, a blood cancer, in April 2000, and a stem cell transplant.In the summer of 2002, I was diagnosed as multiple myeloma and was told that I needed a stem-cell transplant by the same group of doctors at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center that had treated Mel.This shocked me, and frankly, I became quite depressed. I vowed that somehow I would try to speak to Mel. One day, my phone rang. Mel was calling from the Yankees' locker room. I asked him to tell me everything about his treatment.

AI’m a speaker and give hundreds of speeches every year.I spoke about appreciation(感激) last month and I used this quote by Albert Schweitzer “Sometimes our light goes out but is blown again into flame by meeting with another human being.Each of us should express the deepest thanks to those who have relighted this inner(内心的) light.”I asked my audiences to shut their eyes and think about someone who，at some time in their lives，has relighted their inner light.Then I left the room in silence for several minutes.It was always a meaningful experience as they remembered the joy they felt from another person.One day，a gentleman came up to talk with me and thanked me for creating a new awareness(意识) in him.He said he thought of his eighth-grade history teacher because she was everyone’s favorite teacher and had really made a difference in all of their lives.Several days later，the gentleman found his history teacher and he wrote to her.The following week he received this letter：Dear John，You w ill ne v er kno w ho w much your letter meant to me.I am 83 years old，and I am li v ing all alone in one room.My friends are all gone.My family’s gone.I taught50 years and yours is the first“thank you” letter I ha v e e v er gotten from a student.Sometimes I w onder w hat I did w ith my life.I w ill read and reread your letter until the day I die.The gentleman was sad，“She is always the one we talk about when we have a get-together.She is everyon e’s favorite teacher—we love her！But no one had ever toldher until she received my letter...”【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。

From the passage we can know that________．A．Storm Sandy has already caused great damage to New YorkB．the author went out to buy a flashlight but failedC．most people haven't been prepared for the coming of Storm SandyD．most schools and universities have cancelled classes for 3 days2. What measures has the university taken to prepare for the storm?A．The university has asked students to leave the school at once.B．The university has asked students to close all the windows and doors.C．The university has sent text messages to students about what time the storm will come.D．The university has asked students to prepare necessary things in case of evacuation.3. What does the underlined words “take a toll” mean?A．Cause a loss. B．Destroy. C．Flood. D．Bury.4. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．New York is a quiet city at other times. B．New York is a busy city at other times.C．Storm Sandy has already come. D．The airport system has been closed since last night.BOn Sept. 24, an earthquake struck the south-west of Pakistan, taking more than 300 people's lives and leaving hundreds of thousands homeless. But after the horrible disaster, people living by the coast received another shock—they saw a new island, which seemed to have appeared out of nowhere in the sea just over a kilometre from the shore, reported BBC News.“I stepped out and was flabbergasted，” local journalist Bahram Baloch told the BBC. “I could see this grey, dome-shaped (圆顶形的) body in the distance, like a giant whale swimming near the surface. Hundreds of people had gathered to watch it in disbelief.”This island has become a global curiosity. How was it formed in just a few minutes?As you might already know, many islands in the sea are formed by volcanoes. There are numerous volcanoes under the sea. As the hot lava erupts and cools down, it piles up and forms the shape of a mountain. When the mountain “grows” to higher than the sea level, the part that's above the water is what we call an “island”．This is how the island was formed after the Pakistan earthquake, except that instead of a regular volcano, it was a “mud volcano”that brought about this island. Lava is not the only thing that's locked under the earth's crust—there is also gas. When an earthquake happens and breaks part of the crust, the gas is released at an extremely high speed, pushing mud up to the surface, according to National Geographic.But only earthquakes that are extremely powerful can cause mud volcanoes to push up enough mud toproduce islands—and this 7.7magnitude earthquake in Pakistan was strong enough. The island is about 20 metres high, up to about 90 metres wide and 30 metres long, nearly the size of a soccer field.In fact, mud volcano islands aren't new. This is the fourth island of this kind in the region since 1945. But those islands usually didn't last long.“It will probably be gone within a couple of months，”said Bill Barnhart, a researcher with the US Geological Survey. After all, “It's just a big pile of mud that was on the seafloor that got pushed up.”5. What is the article mainly about?A．The disastrous effects of coastal earthquakes.B．The difference between mud volcanoes and regular volcanoes.C．How islands are formed by mud volcanoes.D．The great natural wonders of Pakistan.6. The underlined word “flabbergasted” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “________”．A．surprised B．disappointed C．worried D．curious7. We can infer from the article that ________．A．the new island near the coast of Pakistan actually took a few months to formB．scientists still know little about different types of volcanoesC．another earthquake is likely to happen in Pakistan within a couple of monthsD．not all volcanoes change the geological appearance of the earthCSuppose you have everything: a good job, good health, good relationships and a lot of money to spend. But still there is something missing from your life. Guess what? The love. It is not something that you should ignore. Life without love is just like body without soul.Love gives meaning to life as without love life is meaningless. Lucky is the person who gets love and keeps the flames of love burning forever. It is not a matter of days or months. Love__is__for__life__and__life__is__for__love.It is easy to fall in love but difficult to keep the flames of love burning. Before having serious long-term love relationships, be sure that the person you love is also sincere with you. A selfish person can make your life terrible. If this is the case with you then try to get rid of that person as soon as possible.Most people do not give importance to their love life as they give importance to their professional life. This is a bad choice which ruins the whole life. A balance between the two is necessary in order to enjoy life in itsentirety. Do not lose the love you need.In order to make your life more exciting and enjoyable, you need a loving and caring person with whom you can share your values, dreams, joys and jokes. In difficult times of failure, pain, or loss of dear ones, this person should stand firm beside you and comfort you in every possible manner.Love your life and love the person who is in your life. Keep the flames of love burning to live a great life.8. What's the meaning of the underlined sentence in the second paragraph?A．Love is only for life. B．Life is designed only for love.C．Life is not separated from love. D．When you have a good life, you can own a real love.9. If you want to keep the flames of love burning, you should________．A．try to remove your bad manners as soon as possibleB．make certain that the person you love is also sincereC．try to find out whether the person you love really loves youD．make sure that you treat the person sincerely10. The writer wants to advise us________．A．to value everything one has B．to be sincere with the people aroundC．to live a life full of love all one's life D．to avoid being a selfish person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。

APhoenix, Arizona, the USA was struck by a big sandstorm(沙尘暴) recently. It was a huge dust storm that struck Phoenixa little after 7:00 p.m. local time.Arizona has sandstorms particularly during the monsoon(季风) season which usually starts from mid-June until the end of September. However, this was the biggest. The cloud of dust turned day into night. Some trees were downed and gardens were destroyed and it cut off the power of thousands of local people in the area, but luckily no death happened. A number of people's pools became dirty with dust. People who lived in Phoenix for more than 40 years said that this was the first time they had experienced this huge dust storm. It could greatly influence people's health.The big dust cloud started in Tucson traveling north across the desert. The huge storm ran up to 60 miles per hour. It was more than 100 miles wide and a mile high. Besides Phoenix and nearby cities, the storm also reached Yuma County in southwestern Arizona. It reduced the visibility(能见度) in these areas, putting off the flights at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.The storm only takes place in Arizona, the Sahara Desert and areas of the Middle East, because of the dry environment and large amounts of sand. Because of the serious shortage of rain, there's a large possibility that the water is polluted because of the storm.1.In what season do sandstorms usually take place in Arizona?A.In fall and winter.B.In summer and fall.C.In winter and spring.D.In spring and summer.2.What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.The storm.B.The wind.C.The desert.D.The state.3.Why was local people lucky after the big sandstorm happened?A.People's health was not influenced.B.It didn't do harm to people's gardens.C.All the local people in the area survived.D.The electricity was not affected at all.4.What can probably be the title of the passage?A.Phoenix, Arizona has more sandstormsB.Sandstorms do a great deal of harm to peopleC.We must do something to prevent sandstormsD.Phoenix, Arizona experienced a huge sandstormBA 9.0-magnitude earthquake off the Indonesian coast sent a wall of water racing toward Thailand, Malaysia and Sri Lanka. Lang was on the island of Phi Phi Don, just south of Phuket, Thailand, shopping on Main Street with her friend Rubina Wong, when suddenly everything changed. "People started running inland. From where we were, we could not see the beach so we had no idea what was going on," she said.Lang and Rubina started running inland in the same direction as everyone else, when she noticed water flooding into the island, but it was so strong and fast that she could no longer lift her feet to run. Rubina had gone down a side street. Lang never saw her alive again.Lang was stuck underwater between pieces of debris(碎片) with the surface just above her face. "The more I struggled(挣扎), the tighter I was stuck. I could not reach the surface. I thought I came here on my vacation to die, and then I got really annoyed," she said. "I must have blacked out because the next thing I remember is waking up underwater."The water was still and black. Lang looked up and could see that at the top, there was a small circle of light. She started swimming through the water and made it to the surface of the water. She pulled herself onto a floating door and could see that the whole island was flooded and a lot of buildings were gone. She could see a house not far away and a man on its roof. She encouraged herself to climb over the floating objects to the balcony(阳台) of the house. From there she saw the water start to slowly go back to the ocean.5.What was Lang doing when the tsunami happened?A.She was running in a race.B.She was playing on the beach.C.She was shopping in the street.D.She was looking for her friend.6.Why was Lang unable to run?A.There was a wall in the way.B.She feared she would get lost.C.She had to wait for her friend.D.The racing water was too powerful.7.What can we learn about Lang from Paragraph 3?A.She didn't want to struggle.B.She was trapped underwater.C.She didn't regret going on vacation.D.She kept awake all the time in the water.8.How did Lang manage to save herself?A.By calling for help.B.By hiding in a house.C.By climbing up a tall tree.D.By making use of floating objects.CWhat do you think of when you hear the word “drought”? Do you think of “dry” “hot” “dusty” “cracked(开裂的)earth” or even “no water”? If so, you’re on the right track!When some places are in drought, they may be dry, hot and dusty. Cracks may appear in the soil, and rivers, lakes, streams, and other sources of water may go dry. Other places in drought get some rain, but not as much as they usually receive during that season. Drought means that a place has less rain or snow than normal over a few months or even longer.Drought has many causes. It can be caused by not receiving rain or snow over a period of time. We learned in the discussions above about the water cycle and weather. The changes in the wind patterns that move clouds and moisture through the atmosphere can cause a place not to receive its normal amount of rain or snow over a long period of time.If you live in a place where most of the water you use comes from a river, a drought in your area can be caused by places upstream from you not receiving enough moisture. There would be less water in the river for you and other people who live along the river to use.People can also play a big role in a drought. If we use too much water during times of normal rainfall, we might not have enough water when a drought happens.9.What’s the purpose of Paragraph 1?A. To introduce the topic.B. To analyze the problem.C. To conclude the article.D. To put forward an argument.10.What will happen if a place is in drought?A. The weather will be dry, hot and windy.B. There won’t be any water left in rivers or lakes.C. There will be less rain or snow for quite a long time.D. The rainy season will be replaced by the snowy season.11.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “moisture” in Paragraph 3?A. Dust in the wind.B. Rain in the soil.C. Snow on the ground.D. Water in the air.12.What topics are discussed before the passage?A. The definition(定义) of drought.B. The water cycle and weather.C. The causes of drought.D. The influence of drought.DThe Horn of Africa was struck by billions of locusts(蝗虫). They flew through fields of crops at an amazing speed, killing crops in the process. The locusts crossed the Gulf of Aden and arrived in Somalia and Ethiopia. They were then found in Kenya and had become the worst disaster there in 70 years.The U.N. says the area is affected by lack of food, and it warns that the international community only has a small window of opportunity to prevent future disaster". "These things are always voracious," says Keith Cressman. A swarm(一大群) the size of Manhattan can, in a single day, eat the same amount of food as everyone in both New York and California, he says. Swarms of desert locusts more than three times the size of New York City have been seen in northeast Kenya.Experts know how to stop the locusts' spread, but say efforts have been prevented by a lack of resources because it's difficult to spray pesticide(喷洒农药) in conflict-racked(冲突肆虐的) places such as Somalia and Yemen. "We do have a chance to solve this problem in the bud, but that's not what we're doing at the moment," Mark Lowcock said. "We're running out of time."Desert locusts are known for their rapid reproduction and ability to move long distances with the wind. "This kind of insect has been around for a long time," Mark Lowcock said. "It has so many different survival ways...to just survive in some of the harshest conditions and remotest parts of the planet. But it has the great ability to take advantage of good conditions." It reproduces rapidly—every three months, and in suitable conditions, the population could increase by 400 times every six months.13.Where might locusts first appear?A.In Ethiopia.B.In Somalia.C.In Kenya.D.In the Gulf of Aden.14.What does the underlined word “voracious” mean?A.Expecting to fly.B.Wanting to eat.C.Being curious.D.Being cautious.15.Which might be the cause of the locusts' spread?A.Experts' unawareness of how to prevent the locusts' spread.ck of people to deal with locusts.C.The good living environment of the desert.D.Losing the chance to solve the locust problem in the bud.16.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A.Desert locusts' ability to take advantage of good conditions.B.Desert locusts' long life on the earth.C.Desert locusts' ability to reproduce and survive.D.Desert locusts' different survival abilities.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

But Blanche Caffiere, a very kind librarian and teacher I've never written about publicly before, also had a huge influence on me.When I first met Mrs. Caffiere, she was the elegant and engaging school librarian at Seattle's View Ridge Elementary School, and I was a shy fourth grader. I was desperately trying to go unnoticed, because I had some big deficits, like terrible handwriting and a messy desk. And I was trying to hide the fact that I liked to read something that was cool for girls but not for boys.Mrs. Caffiere took me under her wing and helped make it okay for me to be a messy and nerdy boy who was reading lots of books.She pulled me out of my shell by sharing her love of books. She started by asking questions like “What do you like to read?” and “What are you interested in?”. Then she found me a lot of books—ones that were more complex and challenging than Tom Swift Jr.'s science fiction books I was reading at the time. For example, she gave me great biographies she had read. Once I'd read them, she would make time to discuss them with me. She sincerely listened to what I was saying. Through those conversations about books in the library and in the classroom we became good friends.Looking back on it now, there's no question that my time with Mrs. Caffiere helped spark my interest in libraries [the first large-scale effort of Melinda and me in philanthropy(慈善)] and my focus on helping every child in America get the benefit of great teachers. It's remarkable how much power one good person can have in shaping the life of a child.4.We can learn from the passage that the author was before he met Mrs. Caffiere.A.a student who wanted to drop out of schoolB.not able to read and writeC.hated by other boysD.not self-confident5.What does the underlined word deficits in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A.Accidents.B.Strengths.C.Problems.D.Concerns.6.Mrs. Caffiere helped the author by.A.sharing reading reflections with himB.telling him he was not a messy boyC.hiding him in the libraryD.listening to his complaint7.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.The author's interest in libraries.B.Mrs. Caffiere's influence on the author's life.C.The author's achievements later in his life.D.The importance of a good person in society.C(2021山东师范大学附属中学高一上期中,中)Thirteen-year-old Kaylee has a lot of friends—532, actually, if you count up her online friends. And she spends a lot of time with them.But is it possible that Kaylee's online friendships could be making her lonely? That's what some experts believe. Connecting online is a great way to stay in touch, they say. However, some experts worry that many kids are so busy connecting online that they might be missing out on true friendships.Could this be true? During your parents' childhoods, connecting with friends usually meant spending time with them in the flesh. Kids played Scrabble around a table, not Words with Friends on their phones. When friends missed each other, they picked up the telephone. Friends might even write letters to each other.Today, most communication takes place online. A typical teen sends 2,000 texts a month and spends more than 44 hours per week in front of a screen. Much of this time is spent on social media platforms(平台).In fact, in many ways, online communication can make friendships stronger. “There's definitely a positive influence. Kids can stay in constant contact, which means they can share more of their feelings with each other,” says Katie Davis, co-author of The App Generation.Other experts, however, warn that too much online communication can get in the way of forming deep friendships. “If we are constantly checking in with our virtual worlds, we will have little time for our real-world friendships,” says Larry Rosen, a professor at California State University. Rosen also worries that today's kids might mistake the “friends” on the social media for true friends in life. However, in tough times, you don't need someone to like your picture or share your blogs. You need someone who will keep your secrets and hold your hand. You would like to talk face to face.8.What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A.To summarize the text.B.To talk about true friends.C.To bring up a discussion.D.To encourage online friendship.9.What does the underlined part “in the flesh” mean in Paragraph 3?A.In any case.B.In person.C.In full measure.D.In advance.10.What is Katie's attitude towards online communication?A.Worried.B.Unconcerned.C.Confused.D.Positive.11.What view does Rosen hold?A.It's wise to turn to friends online.B.It's easier to develop friendships in reality.C.Teenagers need focus on real-world friendships.D.Social media help people stay closely connected.D(中)Teenagers in the US know they'll probably need technical skills to land good jobs, but a new survey suggests that interest in technical careers may be decreasing (减少).The percentage of boys aged 13 to 17 who are interested in science, technology, engineering and math(or STEM)careers dropped from 36 percent in 2017 to 24 percent this year, according to a survey by Junior Achievement USA. The percentage of girls interested in STEM careers stayed unchanged at 11 percent.But the 1,000 survey participants still named technology as one of two key skills that would be necessary for preparing them for their future careers.“Kids don't understand where technology can be applied outs ide of computers, coding (编码) and maybe robotics,” said Tammera L. Holmes, president of aviation consulting firm AeroStar Consulting Corporation. “That's all they know, so they can't really link that interest to career pathways (职业道路).”When Holmes was in high school, her mom sent her to an event that featured (以……为特色) the Tuskegee Airmen, famous military (军事的)pilots from World War Ⅱ. One of the pilots took her for air travel. “I was 16 years old, flying over Lake Michigan and facing down the skyline, and I knew immediately that was the career for me,” she said.Women remain outnumbered by men in fields like technology. For people working to increase the number of women in these areas, the lack of growth in girls' interest in STEM careers is concerning.“Teenage girls are more interested than their male classmates in pursuing (追求) careers in which they can help others,” said Ed Grocholski from Junior Achievement. “Even with all theprograms aimed at increasing girls' interest in STEM, I don't think we really talk that much about how we improve people's lives through STEM,” said Grocholski.“Society needs to do better in making those connections for kids,” said Katherine Latham, the founder of an engineering firm. She used civil engineering (土木工程) as an example of a career that would continue to be crucial.However, the fact that students knew they would need technical skills in their future careers was encouraging.

【新教材】人教版（2019）高一英语必修第一册 Unit 4 单元测试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、阅读理解Stages of Hurricane: Simple Storms Grow Into GiantsA storm progresses through four different stages before it is actually considered a hurricane. First is a tropical disturbance (热带扰动), which has thunderstorms and rotating (旋转) winds. Next is a tropical depression (热带低气压), which is similar to a tropical disturbance, but has winds between 23 and 39 miles per hour. A tropical storm is the next level, which has stronger wind speeds between 40 and 73 miles per hour. Once winds reach 74 miles per hour the storm is officially called a hurricane. The wind picks up energy from the warm surface of ocean water.As a hurricane crosses over land, it begins to become weaker or break apart and reduce in strength. This is because it is no longer over the warm ocean water that it needs for energy. At this point, a hurricane can still cause a lot of damage because of high winds, rain, and flooding. But unless it makes its way back over the open ocean, it is downgraded from a hurricane back to a tropical storm.What's Your Name, Hurricane?Hurricanes and tropical storms are given names to help people recognize them. Scientists refer to hurricanes and storms by name as they track them across the ocean.Before 1953, hurricanes were not given official names. From 1953 through 1978, hurricanes were only given female names, like Isabel, Camille, Claudette, and Wilma. Beginning in 1979, hurricanes were given the names of both women and men. Today, the names alternate male and female, and they are named in order of letters.For example, in 2010, storms were named as follows: Alex (male), Bonnie (female), Colin (male), Danielle (female), Earl (male) and so on...There are six different lists of names that change, so the same names are used every six years. The only way that a new name is added is when a hurricane has been particularly deadly or costly and the name is retired, then replaced with a new one.1. What happens when a hurricane crosses over land?A.It breaks apart and forms tornadoes.B.It returns to the ocean afterwards.C.It moves more quickly.D.It becomes less powerful.2.The underlined word "alternate" in paragraph 4 means "_____" .A.take turns betweenB.carry one fromD.cause trouble to3.What do we know about the hurricanes?A.Six common hurricane names are often used.B.An old name will be replaced every year.C.Most of them are deadly and costly.D.They didn't have official names until 1953.After an earthquake most survivors can be expected to recover over time, particularly with the support of family and friends. Some families will be able to return to their normal life quickly, while others will have to contend with the destruction of their homes, medical problems, and injury to family members. Children especially will need time to recover from the loss of a loved one or a pet or from the closing down of their school.Children often turn to adults for information, comfort and help. Parents should try to remain calm, answer children's questions honestly and remain understanding when they see changes in their children's behaviour.Children react differently to an earthquake depending on their ages, developmental levels and former experiences. Some will respond by withdrawing(不与人交往), while others will have angry outbursts(爆发). Parents should remain sensitive to each child's reactions. Parents should spend time talking to their children, letting them know that it's OK to ask questions and to share their worries. Although it may be hard to find time to have these talks, parents can use regular family mealtimes or bedtimes for them. They should answer questions briefly and honestly and be sure to ask their children for their opinions and ideas. Issues may come up more than once and parents should remain patient when they answer the questions again. For young children, parents, after talking about the earthquake, might read a favourite story or have a relaxing family activity to help them calm down. Parents should also tell children they are safe and spend extra time with them. They could play games outside or read together indoors. Most importantly, be sure to tell them you love them.1. The underlined phrase "contend with" in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by "_______".A. deal withB. make upC. put offD. turn back2. When children ask the same question again, parents should _______.A. read a favourite story to comfort themB. ask them to help do some houseworkC. be patient and answer the question againD. take them out to play games3. Which of the following pieces of advice is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Keep a close watch on children's behaviour.B. Tell the children they are safe.C. Tell the children you love them.D. Ask educational experts for help.4. What can we know from the passage?A. All people will recover from an earthquake quickly.B. Children may need a longer time to recover after an earthquake.C. Children should turn to their classmates for help after an earthquake.D. Children react in the same way as adults do to an earthquake.Last Sunday, an earthquake struck the Napa Valley area of northern California. It happened in the middle of the night, becoming the strongest earthquake to strike the Napa Valley in 15 years. No one was killed, but many people were treated in hospitals.I said to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and three-year-old Meghan, "We have so much, and these poor people in trouble now have nothing. We'll share what we have with them."I filled a box with foods and clothes. While I was doing this, I advised the boys to choose their toys and donate some of their less favourite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out their old toys and put them together. Then she walked away. A few minutes later she came back with Lucy, her much-loved doll. She put the doll on top of the other toys."Oh, dear," I said. "You don't have to give Lucy. You love her so much." Meghan said, "Lucy makes me happy, Mummy. Maybe she'll make another little girl happy, too."I looked at Meghan for a long moment. She taught me a lesson. It's easy to give something that we don't want any more, but hard to give what we cherish (珍爱), isn't it?1. How many children does the writer have?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.2. Which of the following is TRUE?A. The earthquake caused many deaths.B. The earthquake is the biggest in history.C. The earthquake happened at night.D. The earthquake hit the city of California.3. What did Meghan take out for the people in trouble?A. A toy.B. Clothes.C. A doll.D. Food.4. What's the best title of this passage?A. A Family StoryB. The Spirit of GivingC.A White NightD. A Sad ExperienceHaving lived in California until 1970, my family has felt a number of earthquakes. We have been fortunate, however, to have suffered no bodily harm or property damage.There is a website that lists all California earthquakes recorded from 1769 to the present. The site lists the dates and times as well as the magnitude (震级) and the exact location of any quake that measured more than 6.0.There are only a few quakes that stand out in my memory and, luckily, none is shown in the website. So, my personal experience with earthquakes might be considered insignificant.There are three earthquakes that are difficult to forget. The first one was in 1955 and our oldest daughter was walking with me in our backyard in Redwood City in California. As the shaking became stronger I held her to me with one arm as I held on to one of our fruit trees with the other. All three of us (my daughter, I and the tree) shook for two or three minutes that to us felt like hours.The second one was in 1963. Our entire family was visiting Disneyland in Southern California. The earth started to shake just as we were beginning to walk from our hotel towards the famous landmark.My third experience with an earthquake was a lonely one in California. It was in my sixties and I was alone in an old church. As the building started to shake, I quickly headed for the door to go outside. I remember I said a little prayer-something like, "Help me get out of here in time, Dear Heavenly Father." Minutes later, I was safe outside.1. The author writes the passage mainly to tell us about _____.A. a new film about an earthquakeB. how to survive an earthquakeC. his three earthquake experiencesD. how to save children in an earthquake2. The earthquakes the author has experienced _____.A. all caused bodily harmB. are all recorded in a websiteC. all measured more than 6.0D. all happened in California3. When the first earthquake happened, the author _____.A. was staying with his daughterB. was planting fruit trees mlC. held on to a tree for hours mD. was in a hotel4. What does the underlined part "the famous landmark" refer to?A. A church.B. Disneyland.C. A building destroyed by an earthquake.D. The place where the author was born.二、七选五Earthquake can strike without warning. But many injuries and deaths from this kind of natural disaster can be prevented if people follow these safety tips.If you're inside a building, stay there! One of the most dangerous things to do in an earthquake is to try to leave a building. ①_____ Drop to the ground. Get under something that is not easily damaged. Hold on to it until the shaking stops. You can also get to a comer formed by two walls with your arms over your head. If you're in bed when the earthquake hits, stay there and protect your head with a pillow.②_____ Don't take shelter under trees, street lights, electric poles or tall buildings. If you are driving, stop as quickly as possible and stay away from overpasses (立交桥), buildings, bridges or anything else that might fall or collapse beneath you. ③ _____If you are trapped in ruins, cover your mouth with a handkerchief or a piece of cloth. Use your cellphone to call for help if possible. Don't shout. ④_____ Tap on a pipe or the wall so rescuers can find you.Be prepared for after shocks. ⑤_____ However, sometimes they even happen months later. Therefore, if you are not in a safe place after the first shock, you should move quickly but carefully to a safer place.A.Don't move about or kick up dust.B.If you're outside, go to an open space.C.Shouting can cause you to breathe in dust.D.Don't park your car under a tree or any tall object.E.Take a good hold of your cellphone in the building.F.They can happen in the first hours after the earthquake.G.Most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go out.三、完形填空（15空）It was just after sunrise on a June morning.

2019新人教高中英语必修一Unit4单元综合测评选择题部分第一部分听力略第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共10小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
AOn my first day of high school，I asked an eleventh-grader where my class was.And he told me it was “on the fourth floor，next to the po ol.”I found out five minutes later that we don’t even have a fourth floor and there’s no pool either！Besides that，I didn’t have any trouble with the older kid.I think the biggest difference between middle and high school is the homework load (工作量) and size of the school.I went from maybe fifteen minutes of homework a night to several hours，so I had to learn how to make full use of time！Our class size is around 550，but joining in clubs，sports，music，and other activities at school makes it easier to get to know people in every grade.The best advice I can give about the years you spend in high school is to learn things for yourself，not just to get a good grade.There have been so many tests that I’ve prepared for the night before.I have gotten an A，and not remembered anything later.I’ve changed that this year，and I enjoy school so much more.Don’t take easy classes just to have a simple year.If you have a choice between chemistry and sports，the first will prove to be a lot more useful!While drinking and smoking might be present in some middle schools，they’re also around in high schools.I have a lot of friends who promised they’d never drink or smoke，but are now partying every weekend.If you have “fun” and spend your nights wasted instead of studying，you will reg ret it when you’re applying for (申请) college.The“friends” who say you’re a loser for not partying are really not your friends at all.It’s hard to see your closest friends grow apart and go in different directions，butdon’t follow their footsteps.Create you r own path in life and make your own decisions.21.What does the author think of high school?A.It requires hard work.B.There are very few activities.C.It’s hard to meet new people there.D.There isn’t enough time for homework.22.The author advises high school students to .A.give up sportsB.choose useful classesC.try their best to get good gradesD.get ready for tests the night before23.The last paragraph mainly tells us .A.about the trouble caused by drinking and smokingB.about the importance of making friendsC.not to go to any party in high schoolD.not to lose ourselves in high schoolBAs a kid, Joanna Buckley wasn't interested in science—until she had a chance to try it. That happened when she got a chemistry set as a gift.“Ov er the course of a few weeks, I'd completed every experiment. But in the process, I polluted my parent's dining room carpet and burnt the kitchen worktop with the spirit burner,” she says.Now science is Buckley's job. She works in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Sheffield in England. “I realize, firsthand, how important it is to have something or someone to show you why science is so great，” she says. Now the good news is that citizen science appears.Citizen science takes the fun of experimenting a step further than Buckley's at-home experiments. That's because these experiments are real, looking for novel answers.“Compared with a oneoff experiment, what's cool about citizen science is thatstudents get that this has a purpose，” says Am y Prunuske, who teaches microbiology and immunology at a medical college. “Students want to do a good job, because they know scientists are going to use the new data in their own research.”Jennifer Long's job is to coordinate (协调) education and outreach. She agrees with Prunuske. “Kids like that it's real. And they like that it's important, and that it matters.” Citizen science projects have made big discoveries. One found a previously unknown galaxy cluster (星系团). Another project helped assess how much damage a big earthquake had caused in Japan. And one of the first citizen science projects helped scientists learn where monarch butterflies go every winter.Some adults worry about teens losing interest in science. They hope that fun, exciting citizen science projects can help them keep engaged, Long says. And she has some evidence that it's working. “Last year, we did have a couple of students say, ‘I really think I want to be a scientist now’．”24．What is the purpose of Paragraph 2?A．To show experiments can make teens interested in science.B．To prove failure is the mother of success in science.C．To state that Buckley has a talent for science.D．To praise Buckley for her strong will.25．Why is citizen science more fun?A．It needs to seek for new solutions.B．It carries out experiments frequently.C．It must carry out experiments in groups.D．It is supposed to handle complex problems.26．What can we know from what Prunuske said?A．She participated in the experiment.B．She took pride in what students took up.C．Citizen science is popular with students.D．Scientists are willing to employ students.27．What is Long's attitude towards citizen science?A．Concerned. B．Supportive.C．Doubtful. D．Unclear.CEarthquakes strike suddenly at any time of the day or night，but there’s no way to tell when.If an earthquake happens，it may cause many deaths，injuries and damage.So you need a good preparation ahead of time.Decide how and where your family will get together if separated.Choose an out-of-state friend or relative that the family members can call after the quake to report where they are and how they are.Know the safe places in each room：under the strong tables，desks，or against inside walls.Keep enough food，water and other things，including a flashlight，a radio，medicines and clothing.During the earthquake，you should keep a clear head and never be too nervous to know what to do.Protect your head and neck with your arms.If possible，take a book，a pillow or any other things to protect yourself from falling glass and ruins.If you are indoors，you must immediately lie under any strong furniture.If outdoors，move to an open area away from trees，buildings，walls or power poles.If you are in a narrow valley，move to the centre of it and look up for falling stones.If you are in a car，move to the side of the road and stop the car.Do not stop near buildings，power lines or on or under bridges.Stay in your car until the shaking stops.Do not move a badly injured person unless he is in great danger after the earthquake.Do not use the telephone immediately unless there is a serious injury or fire.Turn on your radio for instructions and news reports.Be prepared for aftershocks.If you want to leave your home，post a message inside your home telling your family members where you can be found.28.To prepare for an earthquake，we should make sure of .A.when an earthquake may happenB.the place where we can find our familyC.how to receive instructions and news reportsD.the money with which we can buy food and water29.If we are driving when an earthquake happens，we should .A.find a strong building to hide inB.leave the car as soon as possibleC.go on driving quickly to leave the areaD.move to the side of the road and stop there30.From the passage，we know that during an earthquake .A.we should keep calm and know what to do clearlyB.the trees and walls can protect us if we are outdoorsC.we should protect our necks with a pillow or a bookD.falling glass can be used to help us31.After an earthquake，we should .A.move an injured person quicklye the telephone immediatelyC.turn on the TV to get news reportsD.leave a message before leaving homeDAnts know when an earthquake is about to strike, researchers have discovered. Their behavior changes significantly prior to the quake and they resume normal functioning only a day after it. Gabriele Berberich of the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany presented these findings on Thursday at the European Geosciences Union annual meeting in Vienna according to Live Science.Berberich and her colleagues discovered that red wood ants preferred to build their colonies right along active faults in Germany. They counted 15,000 mounds (土堆) lining the faults. These faults are the places where the earth violently bursts in earthquakes.Using a special camera that tracked changes in activity, Berberich and her colleagues tracked the ants round the clock for three years. They found that the ants' behavior changed only when the quake was over magnitude (震级) 2. There were 10 earthquakes between magnitude 2.0 and 3.2 during this period, and many smaller ones. Humans can also sense quakes over magnitude 2 only.According to Berberich, normal ant activity consists of going about collecting food etc. during the day and resting in the night. But before an earthquake, the antsdidn't go back to their mound in the night and moved around outside it. This strange and abnormal behavior continued till a day after the earthquake, Berberich told a news conference, according to Live Science.How do ants know an earthquake is coming? Berberich suggested that they could either be picking up changing gas emissions or noting tiny changes in the Earth's magnetic fields (磁场). “Red wood ants have special cells which can detect changes in carbon dioxide levels. They also have special cells for detecting electromagnetic fields，” she said. Berberich and her colleagues are planning to continue the research in areas where there are more and bigger earthquakes.32．What's the meaning of the underlined word “resume” in Paragraph 1?A．Form. B．Avoid.C．Recover. D．Improve.33．What's the function of the first paragraph?A．To lead to the main topic.B．To describe a new species of ant.C．To introduce a famous researcher.D．To tell how to predict an earthquake.34．What happens to the ants before an earthquake?A．They have no appetite.B．They are too excited to rest.C．They get lost on their way home.D．They refuse to go inside their nests.35．What can we conclude from the last paragraph?A．Ants can only detect smaller earthquakes.B．The result of the research is completely reliable.C．Ants may have two ways to predict earthquakes.D．Researchers don't know how ants predict earthquakes.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。

After church, Papa went to the field to check on the cattle while Mama started dinner. Faye and I played in the yard. Then the temperature suddenly dropped, and Mama shouted from the house, “Iris, you and Faye get inside, real quick now!”I looked to the west and saw a huge black cloud of dust. “Faye, go with Mama!” I shouted. “I will warn Papa.” Covering my face with one hand, I struggled my way toward our family car and got in. The storm hit so fast that the day turned into night in an instant. Papa was still out there! I needed to help him find the car. I turned on the front lights, but would Papa see them in the thick darkness I pushed the horn (喇叭) again and again, hoping Papa would hear it.Suddenly, to my great surprise and relief, Papa’s face appeared at the window. He opened the door and climbed onto the seat next to me. After Papa shut off the car’s lights, we huddled together in the darkness for hours. I worried the dirt would bury us.Finally, the wind subsided and the dust began to settle. We got out and reached the front porch just as Mama and Faye came out from the house.“I’m safe thanks to Iris,” Papa said. “The car’s horn led me to shelter.”“I’m so proud of you,” Mama said to me.Tears of joy streamed down my dirty checks because our family hadsurvived the horrible storm.4.

AWe should never give up when we're challenged. The following three actresses have set a good example for us.Sarah Jessica ParkerWhen Parker was little, she had to take up singing and dancing to help feed her big family. Despite hard times, Parker's mom encouraged her children’s interest in the arts. When Parker was 11 years old, the family took a trip to New York City, so Parker could audition (试演) for a Broadway play. The trip was a success — she and her brother were both cast, and then the family moved to New York. Parker continued to work hard and land roles, eventually becoming the title character of a famous TV show.Emily BluntBefore Blunt was nominated (提名) for Golden Globes and landing leading roles on the stage and big screen, she could hardly hold a conversation with her classmates: Between ages 7 and 14, Emily had a major stutter (口吃). But that all changed when one of her junior high teachers encouraged her to try out for the school play, which she thought was a totally unappealing (无吸引力的) thing at first due to the fact that she had such a hard time communicating. The teacher suggested she try accents and character voices to help get the words out and it worked. By the end of her teens, Blunt had overcome her stutter and went on to achieve the successful career she has now.Shania TwainTwain's career actually began more out of necessity than raw ambition. Her mom and stepfather often couldn't make enough to get by, so Twain started singing in bars to make extra money when she was just eight years old. She recalls her mother waking her up at all hours to get up and perform. Sadly, when she was 21, her mother and stepfather were killed in a car accident on the highway.Twain put her career on hold to step in and take care of her younger brothers. Only when her youngest brother graduated from high school did she feel it was OK to head down to Nashville to pursue her career.1.Why did Parker's family go to New York City when she was 11 ?A. A TV show was waiting for Parker.B. Parker planned to learn the arts there.C. Parker's family wanted to travel there.D. Parker could try out for a play there.2.What was her first reaction when Blunt was advised to try out for the school play?A. Excited.B. Uninterested.C. Angry.D. Touched.3.In order to ________, Twain stopped pursuing her career at 21.A. finish her educationB. experience a car accidentC. look after her brothersD. take a breakBWhen an earthquake hit a small town，many houses fell down. After the earthquake，all the newspapers reported many stories about some of the families who were in trouble.One Sunday, when I was reading a newspaper, a special picture touched me. It gave the clothing sizes of each family member. I thought that this would be a good chance to teach my children to help those who were less lucky than themselves. I said to my seven-year-old twins，Brad and Brett，and three-year-old Meghan，“We have so much，and these poor people now have nothing. We’ll share what we have with them.”I filled a box with foods and clothes. While I was doing this，I encouraged the boys to choose their toys and donate some of their less favourite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out their old toys and games and put them together. Then she walked away. A few minutes later, she came back with Lucy，hermuch-loved doll. She put the doll on top of the other toys.“Oh, dear, ” I said.“You don’t have to give Lucy.You love her so much.” Meghan said，“Lucy makes me happy，Mommy. Maybe she’ll make another little girl happy，too.”I looked at Meghan for a long moment. She taught me a lesson. It’s easy to give something that we don’t want any more，but hard to give what we cherish(珍爱)，isn’t it?4.The writer has children.A. oneB. two C．three D．four5.The underl ined word “donate” in Paragraph 3 probably means “__________". A．捐赠B．丢掉C．展出D．放好6. Lucy is the name of .A．a girl B．a game C. a doll D. an earthquake7.What’s the best title of this passage?A. A Family StoryB．The Spirit of GivingC．The Way of Helping OthersD．A Sad ExperienceCNot only does the use of plastic water bottles hurt your wallet，but it also causes pollution，wastes energy，and surprisingly wastes water. Only 23% of the plastic in America ends up in recycling bins, meaning over $ 1 billion worth of plastic is treated as rubbish a year.Recently，Skipping Rocks Lab has invented a kind of water bottle called Ooho.It’s a kind of convenient，clear water bottle that can either be drunk or eaten. To drink it, you can either get rid of the membrane (薄膜) or tear a hole in the membrane with your teeth to pour the water into your mouth. It’s completely insipid so you needn’t worry about any taste.It aims（目的）for large outdoor events where tons of plastic bottles are used and frequently left behind as litter. Too much plastic is sure to do harm to the environment, which could account for the purpose of such a new invention.The team has been working for the past two years to develop the technology and materials that are needed to produce Ooho. The price for an only bubble（泡状物) or a unit of bubbles hasn’t been decided yet，but it costs about two cents to create a unit，which is cheaper than plastic bottles. The team has also been selling Ooho water bottles in London for the past six months.Ooho is catching many people’s attention and has raised over $ 1 million in only three days. It’s mostly being sold at events at the moment to interest the buyers while the production machine is getting up and running. It’s quickly making a rise, so keeping an eye out for these bottles of the future.8.How is most plastic in America dealt with?A．It is wasted by people.B．It is reused as new energy.C．It is buried under the ground.D．It is applied to new technology.9. What does the underlined word “insipid” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Sweet. B．Delicious. C．Tasteless. D．Interesting.10.What can we infer about the Ooho?A．It plans to be sold at a very low price.B．It has some advantages over plastic bottles.C．It has taken the place of plastic bottles in London.D．Proper materials of making Ooho are hard to find.11.What’s the author’s attitude towards Ooho’s future?A．Doubtful. B．Uninterested. C．Positive. D．Worried.DParents may think they’re smart about where they store medicines, but their kids are smarter. Nearly 60,000 young children are rushed to the hospital every year after getting into medicines not meant for them, according to a new report from Safe Kids Worldwide.The report finds little connection between what parents know about storing medicines safely and what they actually do. 9 out of 10 parents know that medicinesshould be stored up and away and out of reach and sight, but 7 out of 10 of them admit not doing that. They leave medicines out on kitchen counters, sinks and sofas, believing babies and toddlers(学步的儿童) aren’t tall enough or strong enough to reach them. Unfortunately, they probably can. Children as young as a month have ended up in an emergency department because they have been poisoned by getting into a medicine that was left within reach.Most poisonings related to medicines—particularly among babies and toddlers—occur within their home. Kids develop rapidly and they want to explore their environment. At certain ages they have a lot of activities using their hands and mouths, and so it’s very common for them to explore their environment and then try to taste what they find.The new Safe Kids Worldwide report includes a survey of 2,000 parents with children under age 6. While the number of children visiting an emergency department for accidental poisonings has declined since the 2010 maximum, the decline has slowed in recent years.Prescription and over-the-counter medicines cause the most severe poisonings，but vitamins and supplements(补给品) can also cause problems. There are steps families can take to lower the risk for an accidental medicine poisoning.12.Why are children poisoned according to the text?A．Some of the medicines at home taste nice.B．There is something poisonous in medicines.C．Kids have easy access to medicines at home.D．Kids are curious to explore the environment.13.What can we learn from the text?A．Vitamins and supplements can do good to kids.B．The team made a survey of 2,000 kids under age 6.C．600 parents surveyed could keep medicines properly.D．Kids are usually smart at storing medicines at home.14.What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph?A．Factors contributing to the mistakes parents have made.B．Tips that parents can follow to avoid a medicine poisoning.C．Examples related to vitamin and supplement poisonings.D．Impressive recovery results in helping patients.15 .What could be the best title for the text?A．Parents’ Casual Behavior Leads to Kids PoisonedB．The Number of Kids Poisoned Has Declined LatelyC．Nearly 60,000 Children Are Poisoned by MedicinesD．Kids Are Facing the Risk of Being Poisoned at Home.五、七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
