predictable(可预报的).Some,like an earthquake,surprise us.It's good for you to know about the different kinds of disasters so you can be prepared!Although disasters themselves aren't fun,learning about them is!Flooding happens during heavy rains,when rivers overflow,ocean waves come onshore or dams break.Flooding may be only a few inches of water or it may cover a house to its top.Floods that happen very quickly are called flashfloods.Flooding is the most common of all natural disasters.Earthquakes are the shaking,rolling or sudden shock of the earth's surface.Most of the time,you will notice an earthquake by the gentle shaking of the ground.You may notice hanging plants swaying or objects jumping on shelves.Sometimes you may hear a low noise or feel a sharp shake.A survivor of the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco said the sensation(感觉)was like riding a bicycle down a long flight of stairs.A tsunami is a series of huge waves that happen after an undersea disturbance,such as an earthquake or volcano eruption.The waves travel in all directions from the area of disturbance,much like the ripples(细浪,涟漪)that happen after throwing a rock.The waves may travel in the open sea as fast as 450 miles per hour.They can be as high as 100 feet.They can cause a lot of destruction on the shore.Thunderstorms happen in every state and every thunderstorm has lightning.Lightning can strike people and buildings,and is very dangerous.A typical thunder-storm is 15 miles in diameter(直径)and lasts an average of 30 minutes.Nearly 1,800 thunderstorms are happening at any moment around the world.。

Naples,Italy.It is the only volcano on the continent of Europe to have erupted in the last one hundred years,though other volcanoes have erupted on islands in the Mediterranean Sea.In 1631,approximately three thousand people were killed by an eruption from Mount Vesuvius.Since 1631,the 4,200 foot high volcano has erupted at least twenty one times.Mount Vesuvius is considered particularly dangerous because today,nearly three million people live in the direct path of a potential future eruption.Mount Vesuvius is most famous for its landmark eruption in the year 79 AD,which buried the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum in layers of burning ash.The only account of the eruptionthat survives is from Pliny the Younger.From his dramatic account,scientists believe the cloud of ash he witnessed that descended upon Pompeii was twenty miles high.The city of Pompeii was completely buried.It was rediscovered in 1748,more than 1600 years after the eruption.The people of Pompeii were found buried under 12 layers of soil.Many of the buildings were amazingly well-preserved,as were the bodies of those who were just going about their daily routines when the eruption occurred.The ruins at Pompeii have provided archaeologists with valuable information about how people in the Roman Empire lived.Today,Pompeii is one of the most visited sites in Italy.。

Cheryl Falvey of Killing-worth,Conn. ,was struck by lightning last year while washing her clothes.Lightning entered a window next to the washing machine,struck her right hand,traveled through her body and finally out of her left arm.“It was as though I was holding a bolt(雷电)of lightning in my hands,”remembers Falvey,who was thrown across the room.2.Stay off the telephone.It isn’t an old wives’ tale—many people have been hurt through telephone wires.It was raining outside while Peter Van Artrijk,Jr. ,was on the phone at his house in Florida.“Bam!A bolt hit the building,”he says.“I felt the hair on my arms stand on end,and a charge hit me through the telephone,which was almost blown out of my hand.”3.Unplug television,computers,etc.Don’t just turn them off.If the house is struck,they could be damaged if you keep them plugged in.4.Try lightning rods if your area is very often hit by lightning.Properly fixed,says Rust,lightning rods reduce the chances of damage to a home and to the people inside it.1.According to the writer, believe that many people have been hurt through telephone wires.A.not all of usB.none of usC.even childrenD.only old wives2.Peter said,“I felt the hair on my arms stand on end,...”That is to say,Peter .A.was deeply frightenedB.was his senselessC.got an electric shockD.had his arms broken3.Which of the following is NOT a conductor that acts as a path for electricity?A.A fireplace.B.A human body.C.A lightning rod.D.None of the above.4.The passage is mainly about .A.the danger of staying indoors during a thunderstormB.the conductors by way of which lightning may strike youC.the reason why we are not much safer inside than out during a thunderstormD.the ways to protect ourselves from being hit by lightning indoorsBIt is interesting that the arrival of snow has the effect on people in different countries.For some countries it is an important happening to celebrate each year,while for others a catastrophe(灾害)or even a wonder.But there are countries between these two kinds that normally expect snow some time over the winter months,but never receive snow regularly or in the same quantities every year.Britain is one of them,for which the arrival of snow quite simply creates problems.Within hours of the first snowfalls,however light roads are blocked,trains and buses have to stop in the middle of the way.Normal communications are affected as well:telephone calls become difficult and the post immediately takes more time than usual.And almost within hours there are also certain shortages—bread,vegetables and other things—not because all these things can no longer be produced or sent to shops,but mainly because people are frightened and go out and store up with food and so on—“just for fear that something bad should happen”.But why does snow have this effect?After all,the Swiss,the Australians and the Canadians don’t have such problems.It is simply because there is not enough planning and preparation.We need money to buy equipment to deal with snow and ice.To keep the roads clear,for example,requires snow-ploughs and machines to spread salt.The reason why a country like Britain does not buy snow-ploughs is that they are only used for a few days in any one year,and the money could be more useful in other things such as hospitals,education,helping the old and so on.5.According to the writer,Britain is a country . A.which has regular snowB.which is not well prepared for snowC.for which snow is a catastropheD.for which snow is a wonder6.After a few hours’ snow there is often some shortage of food because . A.shops have closed downB.people buy as much as they canC.farmers cannot produce any moreD.people eat more vegetables in winter7.The first reason why the British do not buy snow-ploughs is that . A.spreading salt is good enoughB.old people need more money C .snow-ploughs are not used often D.the hospital is more important8.The underlined words “two kinds”mean the countries .A.which have snow either as yearly happening to celebrate or as rare weatherB.which either have heavy snow or light snowC.to which snow either causes problems or no problemsD.which either have snow-ploughs or no snow-ploughsCMore than 10 000 people were made homeless in Ternang when the Sungai Mas overflowed its banks yesterday after six days of continuous heavy rain.The wooden bridges across the river had been swept away.The town is cut off by floodwaters.At the fifth mile,JalanTengkn,the water is now two meters deep.It is closed to all traffic.Flooding first appeared at mid-afternoon yesterday along the riverbanks.People struggling to higher ground were just in time to escape the destroying of the flood.Most of the flood victims had to leave all their things behind.The National Flood Relief(救济)Center was reported to and by early evening the whole town was moved out,helped by the army,police,Red Cross Society and volunteers.The flood victims are now housed in various simple relief centers in the nearby town of Ternang.“Everything possible is being done to help the unfortunate people,”a government spokesman said.“In fact,money,food and clothing have begun to come in from public organizations and helpful people.”According to the latest reports it is still raining heavily at Ternang.The whole town is expected to be totally covered by the water.So far no deaths have been reported.9.Most possibly this passage is from a . ernment report B.news report C.story book D.tale10.Which of the following can be the most suitable title for the passage?A.A Big FloodB.Ternang Is in DangerC.Many People HomelessD.Help Them11.According to the passage,the town of Ternang .A.has been swept awayB.will soon be under the waterC.is safe from the waterD.is empty of people12.Which of the following groups of sentences is right according to the passage?a.When the message was published only buses could enter the town.b.As soon as the water flowed over the banks,people went to higher ground.c.The National Flood Relief Center is in charge of the affairs to help the flood victims.d.The government and the whole society take great care of the flood victims.A.a,bB.c,dC.a,cD.b,d单词拼写1.
