Did you ever experience a really strange feeling, but not know what that feeling was? That very thing happened to me (and probably to millions of others) today at 4:37 a.m. 16 , I thought it was a strong wind, or that my 17 house, built in the 1920’s, was finally falling apart. 18 , after a few seconds, I knew full well this was an earthquake.

At the time of this 23 , I’ve heard of no injuries or deaths in this quake. It was a medium (中等的) earthquake. People were talking about their animals’ reactions before the 24 . For whatever reason, it seems that animals are alert (警觉的) to 25 before us humans.
The newscasters said this quake was 26 as far north as Michigan, and as far south as Alabama. What would have 27 if this earthquake had been a magnitude (震级) of 8.2 on the Richter scale? I 28 would not be writing this 29 right now, and you probably wouldn’t be 30 what you are doing right now. Most likely there would be 31 and deaths.
May I 32 that all of us take this earthquake as a wake-up call? May I 33 suggest that every one of us make a(n) 34 list of the things in our inner worlds, and be 100% sure that we count everything?
When disaster 35 , will you be ready?

三、阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40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。
A
When I was a child, I had very mixed feelings about my father. Most of the time, he was distant. At meals, he would preach (说教) something to us, his unwilling audience. And he thought he was always right.
Usually I would argue with him fiercely, yet still he managed to defeat me every time, leaving me frustrated and angry. Sometimes I just hated him and seldom talked with him. After moving away from home at age 18, I realized that I could change myself by letting go of my need to be right. I wrote dad a letter asking if he was interested in becoming friends. Dad was excited at the idea. Yet after a brief, enjoyable period of about two months, I found those same old patterns again. However, I still held to my decision. Gradually, I learned to hold my tongue. When discussion turned to debate, I would do my very best not to prove him wrong. By the end of six months, I had done it! I could sit through a conversation where dad was telling me how I was wrong and didn’t argue with him.
As I got better at this, I could accept and even love my dad. One day when he was again preaching some rules, I simply nodded my head occasionally. Then I heard, “Well, Fred, what do you think?” From that point on, dad and I began having meaningful conversations.
I was amazed that once I made the big changes, dad changed, too! From that point on, our relationship gradually grew warmer and deeper.

Photography is a great career choice, which can help people focus on being creative.
As a photographer you are not going to be successful unless you have subjects to shoot (拍摄). Luckily, it is not difficult to find photography subjects. Almost everything around you can be a subject for your next photo. Most photographers like to focus on one type of subject so that they can become an expert in that area. Early on you should determine what you like to shoot, and then stick to that subject for a while. The best way to determine what photography subject is best for you is to try out each one. After you shoot everything you will have a better idea of what you want to focus on.
There are some skills a photographer should keep in mind. When you take a picture, you can move in closer for a better shot. In this way, you can make your subject clearer, which helps your viewer understand and appreciate your photo. With regards to the location, it’s best to shoot with the sun behind you. Besides, weather is important during taking pictures. If it’s cloudy, simply keep the sky out of your pictures as much as possible. Also, don’t allow yourself to be filled with fears of using settings (背景). If you are afraid of upsetting someone by taking his picture, just go up and ask if it’s okay. Ask him to agree with your request and offer a print in return.
40. From which aspects does the author talk about photography?
A. Places and requirements. B. Subjects and skills.
C. Experience and appreciation. D. Processes and conditions.
41. To be a good photographer, you’d better .

Some storms might help to prevent powerful earthquakes. New research suggests that ocean storms could help to prevent powerful earthquakes — at least on the island of Taiwan. Typhoons often strike the island during the second half of the year.
Recently, it is reported that typhoons’ striking Taiwan can cause slow earthquakes. Slow earthquakes are different from violent earthquakes, which happen suddenly and can be extremely destructive. Instead, slow earthquakes release their energy over a period of hours or even days. They can ruin fewer things. People cannot feel slow earthquakes on the ground, and instruments like seismographs (地震仪) cannot measure them. However, a slow earthquake could be helpful to release pressure, and possibly prevent more powerful quakes.
In the study, scientists placed highly sensitive measuring equipment two hundred to two hundred and seventy meters under the ocean’s surface (表面). These devices were placed in holes near eastern Taiwan. This same area is also where two major plates meet. The plates can cause earthquakes as they move. The scientists collected measurements from 2002 to 2007. The information they gathered suggests typhoons and slow earthquakes near Taiwan are linked. The equipment measured twenty slow earthquakes during the five-year observation period. Of those twenty, eleven took place at the same time as typhoons.
Typhoons cause atmospheric pressure to drop. The scientists suggest that this causes a reduction in pressure on the land where the plates meet. As a result, one side of the fault area (断层) lifts, causing the pressure that has been building up inside to be released. This could explain why Taiwan has a large number of small earthquakes, but rarely a major one.
44. Slow and violent earthquakes are different in .
A. the place they strike B. the time they happen
C. the length of time they last
D. the changes in weather they cause
45. The underlined word “destructive” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ”.
A. swift B. noisy C. surprising D. damaging
46. What is the purpose of the scientists’ doing the research?
A. To prove the relationship between typhoons and earthquakes.
B. To show scientists’ efforts to find the places slow earthquakes strike.
C. To prove the influence of violent earthquakes on slow ones.
D. To introduce a new way of measuring slow earthquakes.
47. What can we infer from the text?
A. Scientific discoveries come from careful measurements.
B. Different natural phenomena may affect each other.
C. The power of nature can be imagined.
D. Humans can get along well with nature.
D
Although with summer comes the heat, there is no reason to keep children indoors. The best choice is to swim. You can arrange swimming pool games as well.
Marco Polo is one of the most popular games. In this game, one of the players is blindfolded (蒙住眼睛) and waits till a certain count is over. The other players are around in the pool. After the count is over, the blindfolded player swims around and tries to find any other player. He is allowed to locate the other players only by their voices. In order to guess their location, he cries “Marco”, to which all the other players reply by shouting “Polo”. This continues till he is able to find another player, who is then blindfolded and made to catch another player, and so on.
Another interesting game is Colors, in which one member of the team volunteers to be the “catcher”. The other players choose a color each. The player with the color called out by the catcher has to swim across the pool to the other side as quickly as possible.
In the game “London Bridge Is Falling Down”, two or more players stand in the water holding each other’s hands high above their shoulder level forming a “bridge”. The other players are then required to walk below the bridge one by one. Every time a player passes under the bridge, the bridge is lowered. Eventually the players have to swim under the water to cross the bridge.
Organizing swimming pool games for kids and watching them play can be quite fun. However, one must be very careful about the safety of the children while they are in the water.
48. The text is mainly about .
A. children’s interest in swimming
B. swimming pool games for children
C. skills in practicing swimming
D. ways for children to swim safely
49. The first two games are played by means of .
A. shouting B. watching C. hiding D. touching
50. What can we infer about swimming pool games?
A. Parents are the best teachers for their children.
B. Children are too young to do sports alone.
C. Parents and children can get along well.
D. Fun is important for children to take exercise.
51. The text is mainly intended for .
A. teachers B. parents C. doctors D. children

Bundanoon, an Australian town, is possibly the first town in the world to stop the sale of bottled water.
First becoming popular in the 1980s as convenient, healthy drinks, bottled water is now often regarded as a threat to the environment, with bottles requiring large amounts of energy to produce and transport. Bundanoon began to think about and prepare for the battle against the bottle several years ago, when a Sydney-based beverage (饮料) company announced plans to build a water extraction (水萃取) factory in the town. People living there were angry about an outsider taking their water to Sydney for processing and then selling it back to them. Then Kingston, who owns the town’s cafe and bike shops, decided that if the town was so against setting up such a factory, they could just stop selling bottled water.
To prevent lost benefits in the town’s businesses that sell bottled water, Kingston suggested they instead sell reusable bottles for about the same price. People will be able to fill the bottles for free at public water fountains, or pay a small fee to fill them with pure water kept in the stores.
356 people voted, but only two people voted no. One said he was worried banning bottled water would encourage people to drink sugary drinks. The other was Geoff Parker, director of the Australasian Bottled Water Institute. He said the bottled water industry is a leader in researching ways to reduce bottled beverage influence on the environment.
52. What’s people’s opinion about bottled water now?
A. It does harm to people’s health.
B. It is bad for the environment.
C. It wastes too much pure water.
D. It causes energy shortage.
53. What was the local people’s attitude to the plan of the Sydney-based factory?
A. Friendly. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Opposed.
54. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Reusable bottles will be popular with people in Bundanoon.
B. Measures will be taken to forbid people from using bottles.
C. People can get pure water in most towns in Australia.
D. People should drink more free water in public places.
55. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Australian town banned bottled water
B. Australian town used new method to sell water
C. How to stop selling bottled water
D. Should bottled water be banned?

Last evening, my mother was boiling some fish soup
in the kitchen while our dog, Lucky, is wandering there.
It would spend some time before it was ready. Mum
decided to have rest in the bedroom. Soon she was asleep.
Lately Lucky came in and woke her up. Mum thought it just
looked forward to go out for a walk and was to take it out,
but when they reached at the stairs, Lucky wouldn’t go any
far and barked towards the kitchen. Suddenly, Mum realized
why the soup was still being boiled. She hurried there and found there was little soup leaving in the pot. Mum quickly turned off the gas.
