Unit 4 Natural Disasters 单元测试
一、阅读理解。（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）
A
If December 26's tsunamis have taught us anything, it is that nature does not recognize national boundaries (界线). The same can be said of many other problems faced by human beings. Global warming, for example, will affect the whole world. At no other time in human history has it been so urgent (迫切的) for humans to recognize that they need to learn to stick together. If they don't, the chances are that they will soon find themselves alone. What will it take to get humans to take this truth seriously Disaster seems to be a good way of doing this. The tsunamis, for example, have opened the hearts of countless people worldwide.
But why can't they come together to avoid a disaster that will occur if they do not act in time One of the reasons is lack of imagination. Most people can readily understand, for example, how global warming can bring disasters to us. But these disasters will not occur overnight. So they pay little attention to the problem. They hide their heads in the sand. They think that something somehow will come to make the problem disappear.
The Indian Ocean tsunami killed tens of thousands of people and left millions homeless. But the disaster has revealed(显示) that the world is indeed capable of coming together as one in the face of the disaster. We pray that some of this spirit runs over into future. There are many disasters—man-made, not natural ones—that might be avoided if the world can learn to stick together.
In the second paragraph "doing this" means "getting people to ______."
A. come together B. explain the disaster
C. be lonely D. open their hearts
The reason why people pay little attention to disasters beforehand is that ______.
A. they are not advised to take actions
B. they think others can solve the problem
C. they believe disasters will disappear with no reasons
D. they hardly realise hidden disasters will happen suddenly
The main purpose of writing the passage is to ______.
A. call on the world to unite as one
B. help the people who suffered tsunamis
C. show goodwill and kindness of human
D. prove that disasters have no national boundaries
B
Having 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 Californian earthquakes recorded from 1769 to the present. The site lists the dates and time as well as the magnitude (震级) and the exact location of any earthquake that measured more than 6.0. There are only a few earthquakes 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 few prayers—something like "Help me get out of here in time, dear Heavenly Father." Minutes later, I was safe outside.
The author writes the passage mainly to tell us about ________.
A. a new film about an earthquake
B. how to survive an earthquake
C. his three earthquake experiences
D. how to save children in an earthquake
The earthquakes the author experienced ________.
A. all caused bodily harm B. are all recorded in a website
C. all measured more than 6.0 D. all happened in California
When the first earthquake happened, the author ________.
A. was staying with his daughter
B. was planting fruit trees
C. was holding on to a tree for hours
D. was in a hotel
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.
C
Dogs may help save the day in the Philippines, as they use their noses to smell out survivors buried by Friday's mudslide (泥石流). The team of dogs arrived in the Philippines from Spain, and this Tuesday they were just beginning their work. Search officials told CNN they hope the recent rain will wash away the smell of rescue teams so the dogs can do their job more accurately.
The dogs were brought in after sound equipment found sounds coming from deep inside the ruins, at a place where a school stood before the mudslide covered it. The sounds could mean people are still alive under all the mud or it could just be the earth resettling.
On Monday, rescue workers worked at the school site until three in the morning, trying to locate survivors, and they will begin digging again as soon as the dogs think they find someone.
Human teams from the US, Malaysia, and Australia are all trying to help, too. But so far they have yet to locate any survivors. Rescue workers told CNN that an earlier report that 50 survivors had been found was false.
How did all that mud bury the village in the first place On Friday, 2,400-foot Mt Kanabag turned into a mudslide after two weeks of constant rain weakened it. The mountain crumbled and the mud fell onto the village Guinsaugon, burying the 1,800 people who lived there. Out of the 300 houses in the village, only 3 were not covered by the mud. The village is on a southern Philippine Island called Levte. Rescue efforts have been difficult because the village takes six hours to reach from the nearest airport. Hopefully, the dogs can help their human friends find survivors.
According to the search officials' words in the first paragraph, we can learn that ________.
A. the smell of rescue teams can disturb the dogs
B. the dogs can follow the smell of rescue teams
C. the dogs can't smell the rescue teams
D. the dogs can tell the smells of buried people and rescue teams apart
The main purpose of this passage is probably ________.
A. to show the way to rescue the victims in the ruins
B. to introduce the instruments to save victims in a disaster
C. to tell readers that dogs can smell out victims buried in the ruins
D. to show how to train dogs to save victims in a mudslide
How many survivors have been found by the dogs
A. 50. B. Only a few. C. 1,800. D. None.
The reason why the rescue work wasn't going smoothly was probably that ________.
A. the rain was heavy
B. so many people were buried
C. it was difficult to reach the village
D. there is little chance to save the survivors
D
In mid-November of 1963, an island was born in the North Atlantic, some 20 miles off the southwestern coast of Iceland. It had given only one sign of its coming. For three days, farmers on the neighboring Vestmann Islands had noticed a bad smell in the air like the odor of rotten eggs.
Early in the morning of November 14, the captain of an Icelandic fishing ship saw black columns erupting from the sea through his telescopes. He suspected that he was seeing a volcano rising from the ocean. The hours that followed proved him right. He was watching the volcanic eruption that built the island later named Surtsey.
Some days earlier, a volcano had started to erupt 425 feet below the surface of the sea. It poured out gases and volcanic ash and cinder. They began to build a mountain. By the morning of November 15 the top of the volcano was 33 feet above the water and still growing rapidly. Columns of smoke and gases rose two miles into the air. Violent eruptions continued through the winter. In April 1964, the violent eruptions stopped and lava began to flow. Surtsey, it seemed, had come to stay.
To earth scientists and to biologists Surtsey was endlessly fascinating. It offered a chance to study a new volcano, to see new land take shape. Earth scientists hoped that by studying what was happening to Surtsey they would gain a better understanding of the forces behind its growth.
Surtsey rose from a huge underwater mountain range that runs down the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and is called the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The ridge is the center of many earthquakes, and it is highly volcanic. Here and there its volcanic action has built mountains that thrust(猛推) through the surface of the ocean, creating small islands such as Surtsey. Long ago vast outpourings of lava from the ridge built the big island of Iceland.
The ridge, however, is much more than a builder of islands. It is a sign of powerful forces at work within the earth. Many earth scientists are certain that these same forces are builders of continents and mountains and are the cause of the earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. They see the ridge as a key to understanding the most basic secrets of the earth. These forces helped to shape our planet when it was young, to give it land and sea and air, and so to make it the kind of planet where life could develop.
What was the very first sign of Surtsey
A. Smoke. B. Explosions.
C. An unusual smell. D. A violent storm.
What do we know about Surtsey
A. It was a huge underwater mountain range.
B. It is located 20 miles off Vestmann Islands.
C. It took Surtsey almost one year to come into being.
D. It was produced by the strong forces within the earth.
Why is studying Surtsey important to scientists
A. It tells more about the formation of the earth.
B. It warns people of dangerous volcanic eruptions.
C. It leads to the discovery of new energy sources.
D. It helps predict when new islands will be formed.
What is the passage mainly about
A. How an island was born.
B. Where Surtsey rose from.
C. What are the secrets to volcanic eruptions.
D. Why the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is important.

An 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. 16 Drop to the ground. Get under an object that is not easily damaged. Hold on to it until the shaking stops. You can also get to a corner formed by two walls with your arms over your head. If you're in bed when the quake hits, stay there and protect your head with a pillow.
17 Don't take shelter under a tree, streetlights, electric poles or tall buildings. If you are driving, stop as quickly as possible and stay away from overpasses, buildings, bridges or anything else that might fall or collapse beneath you. 18
If you are trapped in ruins, cover your mouth with a handkerchief or a piece of clothing. Use your cellphone to call for help if possible. Don't shout. 19 Tap on a pipe or the wall so rescuers can find you.
Be prepared for aftershocks. 20 However, sometimes they even happen months later. Therefore, if you are not in a safe position 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 few hours after the earthquake.
G. Most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go out.

Hays believes that the food they prepare keeps disaster survivors 30 both physically and mentally. "We not only are giving them something nutritious, but we are giving them a state of being 31 ."
"For me, the 32 thing is people coming together. Seeing the people working and 33 the effect the meals are producing—it can't help but bring a smile to your face, maybe a 34 to your eye. At the end of the day, you've done something that's made a 35 ," said Hays.

Dear Jack,
I'm very glad to hear from you. I also find that over the past years, there has been frequent extreme weather and natural disasters, such as floods, droughts, snowstorms, earthquakes and so on. These have killed millions of people and destroyed countless homes.
Improper human activities contribute a lot to those disasters. We have cut down too many trees, badly polluted the environment, and wasted plenty of resources. What we do is threatening human survival and development.
①So it is high time that we protected our environment. We should plant more trees, reduce the use of vehicles, and save resources like water and electricity. Everyone can make a difference to the environment. ②Only if we stop damaging the Earth and do our best to protect it, can we make the world a pleasant place to live in.
I'm looking forward to your opinions about it.
Yours sincerely,

参考范文
Dear Jack,
I'm very glad to hear from you. I also find that over the past years, there has been frequent extreme weather and natural disasters, such as floods, droughts, snowstorms, earthquakes and so on. These have killed millions of people and destroyed countless homes.
Improper human activities contribute a lot to those disasters. We have cut down too many trees, badly polluted the environment, and wasted plenty of resources. What we do is threatening human survival and development.
①So it is high time that we protected our environment. We should plant more trees, reduce the use of vehicles, and save resources like water and electricity. Everyone can make a difference to the environment. ②Only if we stop damaging the Earth and do our best to protect it, can we make the world a pleasant place to live in.
I'm looking forward to your opinions about it.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
