第一节：从四个选项中选出正确答案。

A

“Earthquake!”The word flashed in my brain. A roaring sound filled my ears.

I tried to slide beneath my desk.The desk did a wild tap dance, slipping and sliding towards the centre of the room. I twisted my body and grabbed at the windowsill behind me, somehow kicking free of my dancing chair. I tried to stand. My legs skated away as if on a bucking escalator.

My fingers shook, grasped and held the windowsill tightly. Somewhere through the roar sounded the terrified scream of some wounded animal. I looked behind me and tried to steady my gaze on the other kids but the scene was a dizzy nightmare. Some of the class were sitting in the middle of the room, surrounded by chairs and desks. One girl was screaming. A boy was trying to claw his way across the floor to the door in a crazy overarm crawl.

My grip froze me to the windowsill.

I cried aloud,“I’m going to die. I’m going to die. Save me, I’m not ready to die, I’m not ready!”

I hunched forward on my knees and pressed my face against my clenched fingers.

I looked at the backs of my fingers and stupidly noticed the fragile pale hairs growing out of the pores. The fingers would soon cease to exist. Somehow the impending horror of my death was too terrible to even cry about.

Suddenly, I became aware that the rocking had ceased. Perhaps I wasn’t going to die.

36.The roaring sound was made by______.

A.a wounded animal

B.people screaming

C.children running

D.an earthquake

37.When the narrator clenches his fingers he is ______.

C.disorder in the classroom

D.narrator’s fear of death

39.At the end of the passage there is a feeling of______.

A.panic

D.excitement

B

An Announcement

It was a small town which lay by the coast. Most people there lived by catching fish. The hurricanes often struck the area from July to October. Some of the people died on the sea when their boats were blown over by the high winds. So they paid much attention to the weather forecasts. They were afraid to meet with the hurricanes when they were catching fish on the sea. Each of the families had a radio and people always took them with themselves and listened to them at any time.

It was September. A hurricane attacked the town one night. Plenty of trees were pushed over and all the electric and telephone lines were broken. People couldn’t

watch TV, or call their friends, or go to work. To their anger, they couldn’t listen to the weather forecasts the Town Radio Station broadcast. The food and fresh water would soon be short and the patients couldn’t be given medical care—no medicine could be carried there. People didn’t know what would happen and they looked anxious.

On the fourth day they read an announcement（通告）on the Town Weekly. It was written,“Recently we have to stop the weather forecast because of the bad weather. We usually get the forecasts from the airport. But the roads are all blocked by the fallen trees and stones. Whether or not we’ll be able to broadcast the weather forecast tomorrow depends on the weather！”

40.The people in the town often took radios with themselves because______.

A.they felt lonely when catching fish on the sea and listened to the weather forecasts

B.they were interested in the weather forecasts

C.they couldn’t watch TV on the sea

D.they hoped to listen to some good news

41.The writer writes the passage mainly to ______.

A.desrcibe the importance of weather forecast

B.give a news report

C.describe a bad effect of natural disasters

D.to warn people to be careful against hurricane

42.Read the announcement, the people were______.

A.encouraged

B.happy

C.excited

D.disappointed

C

When newspapers and radio describe the damage caused by a hurricane named Hazel, girls named Hazel are probably teased by their friends. To keep out of trouble, the Weather Bureau says,“Any resemblance between hurricane names and the names of particular girls is purely accidental.”

Some women became angry because hurricanes are given their names, but many other women are proud to see their names make headlines. They don’t even care that they are the names of destructive storms. Because more women seem to like it than dislike it, the Weather Bureau has decided to continue using girl’s names for hurricanes.

In some ways a hurricane is like a person. After it is born, it grows and develops, then becomes old and dies. Each hurricane has a character of its own. Each follows its own path through the world,and people remember it long after it gone. So it is natural to give hurricanes’ names, and to talk about them almost if they were alive.

43.What happens to girls named Hazel according to the passage?

A.They suffer from hurricanes.

B.The Weather Bureau look for them.

C.Others often make fun of them.

D.They can’t find boyfriend.

44.The underlined word“resemblance”probably means ______.

A.trouble

B.difference

C.sameness

D.success

45.According to the passage, which is more reasonable?

A.Some women feel unhappy because hurricanes are given their names.

B.A lot of women complain of the Weather Bureau.

C.Many women want to be known.

D.All the hurricanes are caused by women.

46.Public opinions make the Weather Bureau ______.

A.consider the disagreement of some women

B.go on naming hurricanes after women

https://www.wendangku.net/doc/7f9773709.html, hurricanes after men

D.look for a new method to name hurricanes

47.It is natural to give hurricane names because ______.

A.they become old and die

B.all of them should be remembered

C.each hurricane has its own day to come

D.each hurricane has its own character

D

Geologists have been studying volcanoes for a long time.Though they have learned a great deal, they still have not discovered the cause of volcanic action.They know that the inside of the earth is very hot, but they are not sure exactly what causes the great heat. Some geologists have thought that the heat is caused by the great pressure of the earth’s outer layers. Or the heat may be left from the time when the earth was formed. During the last sixty years scientists have learned about radium, uranium, thorium, and other radioactive elements. Many scientists now believe that much of the heat inside the earth is produced by radioactive elements.

Whatever the cause of the heat may be, we do know that the earth gets hotter the farther down we dig. In deep mines and oil wells the temperatures rise about 1°F for every 50 feet. At this rate of the temperature 40 miles below the earth’s surface should be over 4 000°.This is much hotter than necessary to melt rock. However, the pressure of the rock above keeps most materials from melting at their usual melting points. Geologists believe that the rock deep in the earth may be plastic, or puttylike（油灰状的）. In other words,the rock yields slowly to pressure but is not liquid. But if some change in the earth’s crust releases the pressure, the rock melts. Then the hot, liquid rock can move up toward the surface.

48.The cause for the great heat inside of the earth is______.

A.great pressure of the earth’s outer layers

B.the heat left from the time when the earth was formed

C.radioactive elements giving out heat

D.not sure

49.According to the passage, ______ prevents most rock from melting at its usual melting points.

A.the pressure of the rock itself

B.the pressure of the rock above

C.the pressure of the earth’s outer layers

D.the heat given out by some radioactive elements

50.According to the passage,which of the following is NOT true?

A.The farther down, the hotter the earth gets.

B.The rock deep in the earth is liquid.

C.When the pressure releases from the earth’s crust,the rock melts.

D.Rock would be melted at 4 000°.

II．阅读理解（10分）

In a natural disaster—a hurricane, flood, tornado, volcanic eruption, or other calamity—minutes and even seconds of warning can be the difference between life and death. Because of this, scientists and government officials are working to use the latest technological advances to predict when and where disasters will happen. They are also studying how best to analyze and communicate this information once it is obtained.The goal is to put technology to effective use in saving lives and property when nature unleashes its power with devastating results.

On September 29, 1998, Hurricane Georges made landfall in Biloxi, Mississippi, after devastating Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and several islands of the Caribbean with torrential rains and winds up to 160 km/h （100 mph）. Few people lost their lives along the Gulf Coast of the United States, although hundreds died in the Caribbean.

This was a very different outcome from 1900, when a powerful Gulf Coast hurricane made an unexpected direct hit on Galveston, Texas, killing at least 6 000 people. Vastly improved hurricane warnings explain the different circumstances at either end of the 20th century—residents of Galveston had no adv ance warning that a storm was approaching, while residents of Biloxi had been warned days in advance of Georges’s approach, allowing for extensive safety pre cautions.

At the same time that people in Biloxi were thankful for the advance warning, some residents of New Orleans, Louisiana, 120 km to the west, were less satisfied.

A day before Georges made landfall, forecasters were predicting that the hurricane had a good chance of striking New Orleans. Because much of New Orleans lies below sea level, the city is at risk for flooding. In addition, because New Orleans has a large population in vulnerable locations, emergency management officials must begin evacuations well before a storm strikes. But evacuation costs money: Businesses close, tourists leave, and citizens take precautionary measures. The mayor of New Orleans estimated that his city’s preparations for Georges cost more than 50 million. After the full fury of Georges missed New Orleans, some residents questioned the value of the hurricane forecasts in the face of such high costs.

The differing views on the early warnings for Hurricane Georges illustrate some of the complexities involved in predicting disasters. Disaster prediction is more than just forecasting the future with advanced technology—it is also a process of providing scientific information to the government officials and other decision makers who must respond to those predictions.

In general, the process has three phases. First, there is the challenge of forecasting the event itself. In the case of Georges, scientists worked to predict the future direction and strength of the hurricane days in advance.

A second important challenge is communicating the forecast to decision－makers. Because forecasts are always uncertain, a central factor in disaster predictions is communicating this uncertainty. Uncertainty is usually described in terms of odds

or probabilities, much like daily weather forecasts. The media plays an important role in communicating predictions and their uncertainty to the public.

The third part of the process is the use of predictive information by decision makers. Even the most accurate information is of little value if the decision maker does not use it appropriately, for example in deciding whether to order an evacuation. If there is a breakdown in any of these three phases of prediction, the result is increased danger and a higher risk of loss of life.

66.The underlined word“calamity”refers to ______.

A.nature

B.thunderstorms

C.disaster

D.dangers

67.According the passage, the purpose of disaster prediction is to______.

A.demonstrate the power of advanced technology

B.bring out the truth between life and death

C.prevent such natural disasters from happening

D.reduce human casualties and loss of property

68.Which of the following areas suffered the most severe damage?

A.Biloxi, Mississippi.

B. Gulf Coast of U. S.

C.Galveston, Texas.

D.New Orleans.

69.The city residents of New Orleans were unsatisfied because______.

A.they underwent a heavy hurricane attack

B.the forecast hurricane did not hit the city

C.the hurricane warning arrived rather late

D.its precautionary measures were wasted

70.Which of the following phases does not belong to the disaster predication process?

A. Accurate predictions of forthcoming disasters.

B. Communication of forecasts and uncertainty.

C.Evacuation from the disaster－stricken areas.

D. Decision maker’s timely response to warnings.

66. C. 词义猜测题。根据该词所在句子可知calamity 应该与前面的disaster同义。

67. D. 事实细节题。灾害预报的目的可以在第一段中找到：“The goal is to put technology to effective use in saving lives and property when nature unleashes its power with devastating results.”。A、B两项的内容不符合事实，C项说是预防灾害的发生，现在实际上还做不到。D项的内容较接近原文的意思。

68. C. 事实细节题。：试题问哪个地方遭受过最严重的灾害。A、B两项所说的地方由于有了预报，损失不大。D项是新奥尔良，根本没有遭受灾害。C项所指的地方，1900年在没有得到预报的情况下，突遭飓风，造成6000多人死亡，因此损失最大。

69. D. 事实细节题。新奥尔良市的人们不太满意的主要原因，根据第四段的内容，不是因为A项（遭受严重飓风袭击），不是因为B项（飓风没有袭击他们），也不是因为C项（灾害预报来晚了），而是因为D项（他们花费大量资金所作的准备没有用上，白白浪费了）。70. C. 事实细节题。文章后半部分讲了灾害预报的三个阶段，比较四个选项，我们可以发现C项（从受灾地区撤离）不太准确。因为，并不是每次灾害都要导致大批人员的撤离，要根据灾害的严重程度来决定，所以这不是灾害预报必然的三阶段之一。其余三个选项都能在文章中找到相应的内容。
