第一节、阅读选择（40分）
A
Have you ever heard of an avalanche(雪崩）？The avalanches is a kind of sudden natural disaster like earthquakes. During an avalanche a lot of snow and ice rush down the mountain. As they rush, the snow and ice move faster and faster. In fact, snow from an avalanche can move as fast as two hundred miles an hour. That is three times faster than a car on a highway!
Most avalanches happen after big storms. In the mountains like the Alps and the Himalayas, there is snow and ice all year round. After big storms, new snow puts more pressure(压力）on the snow that is already in the mountains. It can make the old snow rush down.
Avalandches are very dangerous. Heavy snow moving down the mountains may pull trees and rocks along. That can cause great damage, such as pushing down houses and killing people. Luckily, no one lives in the mountains where avalanches are easy to happen. So not many people die from avalanches each year.
Most people who may lose their lives in avalanches are ski(滑雪）lovers. It's important for them to stay safe while having fun in the snore mountains. Scientists can usually tell whether（是否）an avalanche might happen or not. If you are a ski lover, remember to pay attention to scientists' warnings before you go skiing.

A. teach people to stay alive from avalanches

Which topic drew the most attention from people around the world in 2019 It was climate change, according to three well-known English dictionaries.
The Oxford, Collins and Cambridge dictionaries chose climate emergency（气候紧急状态）,climate strike （罢工） and upcycling（升级改造）,as their ―Word of the Year‖. This tells us that climate change was a widely-discussed issue（重要议题）in 2019. Climate emergency means a situation in which urgent（紧急的）action is needed to reduce climate change. ―Climate strike refers to people leaving work or school to call for more action to protect the environment. ―Upcycling refers to making new items out of old or used items to reduce waste.
Climate change has already affected（影响）the world in many ways. Take Venice for example. Because of climate change, Venice experienced the worst flooding it has seen in the last 50 years in 2019.Many stores, restaurants and hotels were flooded. This caused serious damage totaling hundreds of millions of euros（欧元）.
Although we’ve known about global warming for a long time, our large companies and governments have been slow to respond to it. The year 2019 might have been the turning point that will finally encourage（鼓励）our leaders to take responsibility（责任）.
Decades ago, when the science on the climate issue was first increasing, the impacts（影响）could be seen as an issue for future generations, Katharine Mach, a Stanford University climate scientist, told The New York Times. It’s surely our responsibility now.
However, simply realizing that climate change is a threat(威胁) is not enough. We must take real action before it is too late.
26. According to the three dictionaries, people in 2019 cared about ________the most.
A. environmental protection B. international business
C. recycling services D. the overuse of natural resources
27. The flooding in Venice is mentioned to_________.
A. prove that Venice is not a safe place to visit
B. explain why Venice suffered serious damage
C. show how climate change has affected the world
D. explain how the climate changed in 2019
28. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph4 mean
A. Large companies and governments haven’t known anything about global warming.
B. Large companies and governments didn’t take action at once when facing global warming
C. It’s only large companies and governments’ responsibility to solve the problem of global warming
D. Large companies and governments have done a lot to solve the problem of global warming.
29. What does Mach mean in Paragraph 5
A. Many scientists are working on the climate issue.
B. The climate issue will affect only future generations.
C. Future generations will suffer more than us.
D. It’s our responsibility to deal with climate change.
30. This passage is probably______.
A. a notice B. a story C. a piece of news D. a poem
【答案】26. A 27. C 28. B 29. D 30. C
【解析】文章大意：文章主要讲了气候变化以及气候变化影响全世界的许多方式。
26细节理解题。根据文章第二段第三行“This tells us that climate change was a widely-discussed issue（重要议题）in 2019.“这告诉我们，气候变化是2019年广受讨论的问题。”可知，环境保护是2019年人们最关注的，故选A。
27.细节理解题。根据文章第三段第一、二行“Climate change has already affected（影响）the world in many ways. Take Venice for example”“气候变化已经在许多方面影响了世界。以威尼斯为例。”可知，文章写威尼斯的洪水是为了展示气候变化对世界的影响，故选C。
28.细节理解题。根据第四段第一、二行“Although we’ve known about global warming for a long time, our large companies and governments have been slow to respond to it.”“虽然我们对全球变暖的认识由来已久，但我们的大公司和政府对此反应迟钝。”可知，意思是面对全球变暖，大公司和政府没有立即采取行动，故选B。
29，细节理解题。根据文章第五段最后一行“It’s surely our responsibility now”“现在肯定是我们的责任了。”可知，Mach认为处理气候改变是我们的责任，故选D。
30.主旨大意题。文章主要讲了气候变化以及气候变化影响全世界的许多方式，可推知文章是一条新闻，故选C。
C
No one can change the weather. But if we read the signs around us correctly，we can tell how the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting. For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. Many people feel in their bones the coming of wet weather—they feel joints(关节)pain. Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. It is probably because of the insects which they are hunting that they fly low. If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars twinkle(闪烁) clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If a fog appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in colour, then the following day will be warm. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come. Most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.
31. Many people feel joints pain ________.
A. because of coming rain
B. because they are ill
C. without any reason
D. because of the insects
32. Which is TRUE about weather forecasting
A. Weather forecasting is a way of telling about the weather on the following day or two.
B. Weather forecasting isn't a way of telling what the weather will be like.
C. People can change the weather.
D. Weather forecasting is a sign of coming rain.
33. If the birds fly high and the stars twinkle clearly, the weather will ________.
A. be rainy B. be warm C. continue to be clear and fine D. be cold
34. A rainbow during rainy weather is a sign of ________.
A. fine weather B. a rainy day C. fog D. bad weather
35. We must ________ to make weather forecasting.
A. use our eyes and brains B. study the weather
C. read the natural signs D. all of the above
【答案】31. A 32. A 33. C 34. A 35. D
【解析】本文主要讲述了自古以来到现在人们根据自然现象，动物的反映以及人类对天气的研究来预测天气的方法。
31.细节理解题。根据文中“Many people feel in their bones the coming of wet weather—they feel joints(关节)pain.”可知人们感觉到关节疼痛，是因为潮湿的天气马上来了，故选A。
32.细节理解题。根据文中This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting.可知这种可预知未来一两天天气的方式叫天气预报，故A正确, B 不正确; 根据文中第一句话“No one can change the weather.”可知人们是无法改变天气的，故C不正确; 天气预报只是预测天气的方式，而不是天气的标志，D不正确; 故选A。
33.细节理解题。根据文中“Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming”以及“If the stars twinkle(闪烁) clearly at night, then fine weather will continue.”可知，如果看到鸟儿高飞或者星星闪烁在夜空，说明第二天还是好天气，故选C。
34.细节理解题。根据“If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine.”可知如果在雨天看到彩虹的话，天气将会变得很好，故选A。
35.细节理解题。通读文章可知，我们通过我们的眼睛观察鸟儿的飞翔，夜空的星星等预测天气，故A选项正确。根据文中“For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting.”可知几个世纪以来，很多国家都在通过研究天气来预测天气，故B正确，也可以观察一些自然现象比如彩虹，日落等这些自然现象来预测天气，所以C正确，故选D。

Different weather makes people feel different. It influences health, intelligence (智力) and feelings.
In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at sometimes and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.
The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a scientific report, IQ (智商) of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse grades on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).
Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter maybe a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger.
Low air pressure (气压) may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. There is a “good weather” for health. People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃.
Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today It maybe the weather’s problem.
36．What kind of weather can have a bad effect on health ________ can cause health problems.
A．Hot and wet weather B．A strong wind C．Warm weather D．Low air pressure

【答案】36．A 37．B 38．D 39．C 40．D
【解析】文章主要介绍了不同的天气会给人们带来不同的感受，天气会影响人们的健康、智力和情感。
36．细节理解题。根据文中In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. … People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.可知，炎热而潮湿的天气对于人们的健康有影响，故选A。
37．细节理解题。根据文中For example, in a scientific report, IQ (智商) of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came.例如，在一份科学报告中，当强风来临时，一群学生的智商很高。可知有风的天气的人智商是很高的，故选B。

Dear Jim，
I'm very glad that you'll come to visit China. You aske me about the weather in China. There are four seasons--spring，summer，autumn and winter. Summer is the hottest season of the year. It's often rainy. Compared to other seasons，winter is the coldest. Sometimes it snows，you can come at this time of year. But it depends on your interest. I think the best time to visit China is in spring or autumn because the weather is not too hot or too cold. It's very pleasant to visit many places of interest in China，such as the Great Wall，the West Lake，Mount Tai and so on. I hope you can come soon.
Yours，
Lingling

Then those places have colder temperatures. These differences in temperature make the air and water move around the 7 . The movement helps to take the heat energy from the sun across the earth. So the 8 changes.
What' s the difference between weather and climate
Climate is a place' s weather over a long time. The weather changes from day to day and 9 from hour to hour. It can be sunny in the morning and cold and wet in the afternoon. But the climate changes very 10 over lots of years.

You and your family are planning a picnic for tomorrow. But you want to 11 the weather forecast(预报) first to see whether there will be rain or not. Your father turns on the television and the family listens to the 12 making the weather report.
“It will be partly cloudy tomorrow morning, 13 clearing by early afternoon. The high tomorrow will be 85.”
As there will be no rain, the whole family feels 14 . Without the weather forecast, you would not know this, and you would just have to take your 15 . But now you can plan your picnic without worrying whether it will rain or not.
The man you can thank for this is Cleveland Abbe. He is known as the father of the Weather Bureau. He was the first person to publish 16 weather forecasts in the United States.
Abbe began his daily weather bulletins(简报) in 1869. They were based on weather maps he drew from telegraphed reports of weather 17 . Because of their accuracy(准确) , the reports were 18 .
Congress(国会) became 19 in Abbe’s weather reports. They made Abbe a meteorologist (someone who studies weather conditions), and he 20 to issue(发布) forecasts three times a day. He was the first official forecaster of the US Weather Service. Because he often forecast probable storms, Abbe earned the nickname of “Old Probabilities”.

A
Have you ever heard of an avalanche(雪崩）？The avalanches is a kind of sudden natural disaster like earthquakes. During an avalanche a lot of snow and ice rush down the mountain. As they rush, the snow and ice move faster and faster. In fact, snow from an avalanche can move as fast as two hundred miles an hour. That is three times faster than a car on a highway!
Most avalanches happen after big storms. In the mountains like the Alps and the Himalayas, there is snow and ice all year round. After big storms, new snow puts more pressure(压力）on the snow that is already in the mountains. It can make the old snow rush down.
Avalandches are very dangerous. Heavy snow moving down the mountains may pull trees and rocks along. That can cause great damage, such as pushing down houses and killing people. Luckily, no one lives in the mountains where avalanches are easy to happen. So not many people die from avalanches each year.
Most people who may lose their lives in avalanches are ski(滑雪）lovers. It's important for them to stay safe while having fun in the snore mountains. Scientists can usually tell whether（是否）an avalanche might happen or not. If you are a ski lover, remember to pay attention to scientists' warnings before you go skiing.
21. Which word best describes the avalanche according to Paragraph 1
A. Sudden. B. Fast. C. Powerful. D. Dangerous.
22. What makes the old snow rush down the mountain
A. The pressure. B. The mountain. C. The storm. D. The ice.
23. What does the underlined word “damage” probably mean in Chinese
A. 噩耗. B. 扫荡. C. 赔偿. D. 破坏.
24. What should ski lovers do before skiing according to the passage
A. Go and talk to scientists about avalanches.
B. Learn about how to keep themselves safe.
C. Check -whether there is an avalanche warning.
D. Live far away from the mountain with avalanches.
25. The writer wrote the passage mainly to ____________
A. teach people to stay alive from avalanches
B. warn people of the possible avalanches
C. introduce a natural disaster
D. ask more people to go skiing
B
Which topic drew the most attention from people around the world in 2019 It was climate change, according to three well-known English dictionaries.
The Oxford, Collins and Cambridge dictionaries chose climate emergency（气候紧急状态）,climate strike （罢工） and upcycling（升级改造）,as their ―Word of the Year‖. This tells us that climate change was a widely-discussed issue（重要议题）in 2019. Climate emergency means a situation in which urgent（紧急的）action is needed to reduce climate change. ―Climate strike refers to people leaving work or school to call for more action to protect the environment. ―Upcycling refers to making new items out of old or used items to reduce waste.
Climate change has already affected（影响）the world in many ways. Take Venice for example. Because of climate change, Venice experienced the worst flooding it has seen in the last 50 years in 2019.Many stores, restaurants and hotels were flooded. This caused serious damage totaling hundreds of millions of euros（欧元）.
Although we’ve known about global warming for a long time, our large companies and governments have been slow to respond to it. The year 2019 might have been the turning point that will finally encourage（鼓励）our leaders to take responsibility（责任）.
Decades ago, when the science on the climate issue was first increasing, the impacts（影响）could be seen as an issue for future generations, Katharine Mach, a Stanford University climate scientist, told The New York Times. It’s surely our responsibility now.
However, simply realizing that climate change is a threat(威胁) is not enough. We must take real action before it is too late.
26. According to the three dictionaries, people in 2019 cared about ________the most.
A. environmental protection B. international business
C. recycling services D. the overuse of natural resources
27. The flooding in Venice is mentioned to_________.
A. prove that Venice is not a safe place to visit
B. explain why Venice suffered serious damage
C. show how climate change has affected the world
D. explain how the climate changed in 2019
28. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph4 mean
A. Large companies and governments haven’t known anything about global warming.
B. Large companies and governments didn’t take action at once when facing global warming
C. It’s only large companies and governments’ responsibility to solve the problem of global warming
D. Large companies and governments have done a lot to solve the problem of global warming.
29. What does Mach mean in Paragraph 5
A. Many scientists are working on the climate issue.
B. The climate issue will affect only future generations.
C. Future generations will suffer more than us.
D. It’s our responsibility to deal with climate change.
30. This passage is probably______.
A. a notice B. a story C. a piece of news D. a poem
C
No one can change the weather. But if we read the signs around us correctly，we can tell how the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting. For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. Many people feel in their bones the coming of wet weather—they feel joints(关节)pain. Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. It is probably because of the insects which they are hunting that they fly low. If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars twinkle(闪烁) clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If a fog appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in colour, then the following day will be warm. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come. Most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.
31. Many people feel joints pain ________.
A. because of coming rain
B. because they are ill
C. without any reason
D. because of the insects
32. Which is TRUE about weather forecasting
A. Weather forecasting is a way of telling about the weather on the following day or two.
B. Weather forecasting isn't a way of telling what the weather will be like.
C. People can change the weather.
D. Weather forecasting is a sign of coming rain.
33. If the birds fly high and the stars twinkle clearly, the weather will ________.
A. be rainy B. be warm C. continue to be clear and fine D. be cold
34. A rainbow during rainy weather is a sign of ________.
A. fine weather B. a rainy day C. fog D. bad weather
35. We must ________ to make weather forecasting.
A. use our eyes and brains B. study the weather
C. read the natural signs D. all of the above
D
Different weather makes people feel different. It influences health, intelligence (智力) and feelings.
In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at sometimes and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.
The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a scientific report, IQ (智商) of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse grades on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).
Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter maybe a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger.
Low air pressure (气压) may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. There is a “good weather” for health. People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃.
Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today It maybe the weather’s problem.
36．What kind of weather can have a bad effect on health ________ can cause health problems.
A．Hot and wet weather B．A strong wind C．Warm weather D．Low air pressure
37 A report shows that people may have more intelligence when ________ comes.
A．rain B．a strong wind C．very hot weather D．low air pressure
38．According to the writer, fat people may feel bad in ________ weather.
A．cold B．cool C．warm D．hot
39．The writer wants to tell us that ________.
A．hot and cold weather influences all people in the same way
B．weather influences people’s behaviour
C．IQ changes when weather changes
D．people feel good on low-pressure days
40.The best title for this passage is “________”.
A．Hot Weather Causes Health Problems B．Different Weather Makes People Feel Bad
C．Weather Influences Feelings D．Weather Influences Health, Intelligence and Feelings
