Passage 1
What Should You Do When an Earthquake Hits?
If you find the ground shaking beneath your feet,there’s an international consensus on how you should act.Earthquake safety boils down to three basic steps:
1.Drop to the ground.
2.Take cover by getting under a sturdy desk or table.
3.Hold on to it until the shaking stops.
If there isn’t a table or desk near you,drop to the ground in an inside corner of the building and cover your head and neck with your hands and arms.Do not try to run to another room just to get under a table.
If you are in bed,hold on and stay there,protecting your head with a pillow.You are less likely to be injured staying where you are.Broken glass on the floor has caused injury to those who have rolled to the floor or tried to get to doorways.
If you are outdoors,move to a clear area if you can safely do so;avoid power lines,trees,signs,buildings,vehicles,and other hazards:If you’re at the movies or a sports game,stay at your seat and protect your head and neck with your arms.Don’t try to leave until the shaking is over.Then walk out slowly watching for anything that could fall in the aftershocks.
If you’re driving a car,pull over to the side of the road,stop,and set the parking brake.Avoid overpasses,bridges,power lines,signs and other hazards.Stay inside the vehicle until the shaking is over.If a power line falls on the car,stay inside until a trained person removes the wire.
If you’re by the shore,drop,cover and hold on until the shaking stops.Estimate how long the shaking lasts.If severe shaking lasts 20 seconds or more,immediately evacuate to high ground as a tsunami (海啸) might have been generated by the earthquake:1Vlove inland 3 kilometers(2 miles)or to land that is at least 30 meters(100 feet) above sea level immediately. Don’t wait for officials to issue a warning.Walk quickly,rather than drive,to avoid traffic,debris and other hazards.
If you live downstream for a dam,you should know flood-zone information and have prepared an evacuation plan.Latastrophie failure is unlikely,but dams can fail during major earthquakes.
The main point is to try not to move and to immediately protect yourself as best as possible where you are.Earthquakes occur without any warning and may be so violent that you cannot run or crawl;you therefore will most likely be knocked to the ground where you happen to be.You will never know if the initial jolt will turn out to be start of the big one.
In addition,studies of injuries and deaths caused by earthquakes in the US over the last several decades indicate you are much more likely to be injured by falling or flying objects(TVs,lamps,glass,bookcases,etc.)than to die in a collapsed building.“Drop,Cover and Hold on” offers the best overall level of protection.
答案:1.Measures/Steps/Action 2.covered 3.or/otherwise/since 4.avoiding/not 5.supposed/expected 6.pull 7.escape 8.prepare 9.where 10.less
Passage 2
Events such as hurricanes,earthquakes,floods,volcanic eruptions,and tornadoes are all natural disasters.They are mostly related to the weather.Some are predictable—like a hurricane.Some,like an earthquake,surprise us.It is necessary for us to learn about them,so we can be prepared!
Flooding happens during heavy rains,when rivers overflow,when ocean waves come onshore,when snow melts too fast or when dams or banks break.Flooding is the most common of all natural disasters.
Hurricanes are severe tropical storms that form in the southern Atlantic Ocean,Caribbean Sea,Gulf of Mexico,and in the Pacific Ocean.Hurricanes gather heat and energy through contact with warm ocean waters.Evaporation from the sea water increases their power.
Hurricanes have winds at least 74 miles per hour.When they come onto land,the heavy rain,strong winds and heavy waves can damage buildings,trees and cars.
Tornadoes are nature’s most violent storms.Tornadoes must always be taken seriously.
Tornadoes can be very dangerous—sometimes even deadly.They come from powerful thunderstorms and appear as moving.Tornado winds can reach 300 miles per hour.They cause damage when they land the ground.They can damage an area one mile wide and 50 miles long.
While thunder won’t hurt you—lightning will! So it’s important to pay attention when you hear thunder.Thunderstorms happen mostly in summer and every thunderstorm has lightning.Lightning can strike people and buildings,which is very dangerous.
Thunderstorms affect small areas when compared with hurricanes and winter storms.The typical thunderstorm is 15 miles in diameter and lasts an average of 30 minutes.
A volcano is a mountain with a large opening at the top through which melting rock,steam,gases escape from time to time with violent force from inside the earth.When pressure increases,eruptions occur.Gases and rock shoot up through the opening fill the air with small pieces.Eruptions can cause lava flows,hot ash flows,mudslides,falling ash and floods,which is likely to knock down entire forests,cause floods and earthquakes.Fresh volcanic ash can cause damage to the lungs of older people,babies and people with respiratory problems.

Passage 1
Most scientists are now certain that global warming is taking place.Gases such as carbon dioxide produced by burning of coal,oil,wood,together with industrial pollution,are creating a warm blanket around the earth.This blanket is trapping heat in the atmosphere and so raising the temperature of the earth.
The evidence for global warming can now be seen in the world’s changing climate statistics.In Europe,eight of the last ten years have seen record high temperature.For northern Europe,this has generally been a change for the better.Gardens can even now grow tropical plants in England,though London may never see a “White Christmas” again.On the other hand,the countries around the Mediterranean Sea,and those south of the Sahara desert are receiving even less rain than before.In sub-Saharan Africa the crops are drying out in the fields and people are dying of starvation.In the Americas,the climate is becoming more extreme—the summers are getting hotter and hotter and the storms are becoming more violent.In 1999 the southern United States was struck by a series of destructive hurricanes,while the end of 1999 saw the worst floods ever in Venezuela.Meteorologists expect such trends to continue,and indeed to worsen,if global warming cannot be halted (终止).
In addition to worrying about rising global temperatures and more extreme weather conditions,scientists are closely monitoring sea levels around the world.These are slowly rising,as the northern and southern polar ice-caps start to melt.This will have serious consequences for low-lying countries near the sea,such as the coral islands in the Pacific,and Bangladesh where the River Ganges already folds the delta (三角洲) every year.Already parts of these places are disappearing under the rising tides.

答案:
1.D burst out意为“迸发,突然(哭/笑……)”,后接doing,不能直接跟名词;burst on意为“突然来到”;burst in意为“闯入”;burst into意为“突然进入某种状态”,后接名词;burst into applause的含义是“突然爆发出掌声”。
2.C hurt表示“伤害”;ruin表示“毁掉”;damage表示“损坏”,但可以修复;break表示“打碎,打破”。根据句子中的repair the ship可知应选择damaged。

答案:
1.B 本题考查非谓语动词的用法。句意:人们很少意识到声音也需要呵护。许多65岁的人听起来比他们的年龄大得多。leave常用于“leave+宾语+宾补”结构,宾补可以是现在分词或者过去分词。分析结构可知,此处就是“leave+宾语+宾补”的被动形式,宾语people over 65与sound之间为主谓关系,故用现在分词作补语,故B项正确。
2.C 本题考查名词词义辨析。句意:泥石流袭击甘肃省舟曲后不久,许多士兵被派去救援因为许多人被困地下。come to the/one’s rescue来救某人,前来救援,为固定搭配,故C项正确。
3.B 句意:那个小男孩突然大哭起来。burst out crying=burst into tears突然大哭起来,故B项正确。
4.C 本题考查名词性从句。句意:看起来好像迪拜世界集团不太可能在这个严重的经济危机中生存下来。 It seems as if+从句“看起来好像……”为固定句式,故C项正确。
5.B 本题考查非谓语动词。句意:他们发现建筑物的废墟以及许多珍宝被埋在沙子下面。分析结构可知,此处是“find+宾语+宾补”结构,the remains of buildings与bury之间为动宾关系,故用过去分词作宾补,B项正确。
6.D 本题考查动词词义辨析。句意:那次车祸毁掉了他的一生。自那以后,他就只能坐在轮椅上了。damage损害,但能修复;destroy完全毁灭,往往毁灭的是物;harm伤害;ruin毁灭,毁掉。由句意可知D项正确。
7.C 句意: 莉莉不得不叫了辆出租车因为箱子太重了,整个回家的路上她搬不动。much too heavy to carry 表示“太重以至于拿不动”。
8.B 本题考查冠词。句意:在19世纪的欧洲,许多妇女穿着紧身内衣以塑造好体型。 第一空特指19世纪的欧洲,要加定冠词the,第二空用a number of表示“许多,大量”,故B项正确。
9.B 句意:医生正在给病人动手术,请不要去打扰他。right away立刻,马上,不与进行时连用;right now现在;in no time立刻,马上;just now刚才,要与一般过去时态连用。由语境可知B项正确。
10.C 本题考查主谓一致。当主语为the number of+复数名词时,谓语动词用单数形式,所以先排除D项。而quantities of之后无论跟可数名词还是不可数名词,谓语动词一律用复数形式,所以排除A、B两项。从each year可以看出用一般现在时,所以选C项。
11.C 本题考查代词。句意:“ is not right”并不意味着“ is right”。everything is right为部分否定,意思是“并不是所有的都对”;nothing is right意思是“什么也不对”,故C项正确。
12.B 句意:今年就要结束了。我祝愿我们有个完美的结果。in the end最后,终于;at an end结束,终结;by the end(of)到……末为止;end up结束,为动词短语,不能在be动词后面。由语境可知B项正确。
13.A 本题考查动词短语意义辨析。句意:我昨天从抽屉里发现了一张旧照片,这张照片使我想起了我们在农场一起度过的日子。dig out 发现,符合语境。
14.C 句意为“别玩电,要不你会触电的”。根据句意可知C项正确。get an electric shock意思是“触电”。
15.A 考查动词辨析。句意:听说震后家乡成为一片废墟,玛丽表示非常难过。express one’s sadness意为“表示难过”,符合题意。

答案:
1.B 考查动词辨析。句意:救生艇被派出去救援沉船的水手。shelter掩蔽;rescue营救;escape逃脱,逃跑;trap使陷入困境。 由句意可知选B。
2.A 句意:这位妈妈用行动表达的爱胜过任何言语。express常用来表示“表达某人的思想、情感、意见等”。
3.B 从句中缺少宾语,when不可以作宾语,排除C项;what不可引导定语从句,排除D项。又因先行词被序数词修饰时,通常用that而不用which。故答案选B项。
4.B 表达分数时,分子用基数词,分母用序数词,当分子超过1时,分母要用复数。故答案选B项。
5.C 考查形容词词义辨析。句意:他是一个直爽的人——他总是怎么想就怎么说。curious“好奇的,好事的”;serious“严肃的”;sincere“诚实的,坦率的”;upset“不安的”。结合句意可知C项正确。
6.B 考查定语从句。句意:正如他父母所期望的,他被一家当地的大公司录取。as 引导非限制性定语从句,可置于句首,意为“正如”。
7.B 句意:我祝贺你所取得的成就。表示“祝贺某人某事”用congratulate sb.on sth.,所以B项正确。
8.D a great number后面应先加介词of,再加可数名词;a good many也可为a great many,可直接修饰可数名词,不加介词of;而a great deal后也要先加介词of再加不可数名词。所以选D。
9.C 考查动词辨析。此处ruin表示“毁掉(……的希望)”。
10.A 考查定语从句。关系词在定语从句中作定语修饰roofs,因而使用whose。
11.D 考查动词辨析。destroy表示完全毁坏无法修复,与前面的completely正好吻合。
12.D 句意:他的电影肯定会获奖,因为大多数人都看好它。think well of sth.重视某事,看好某物。此处为被动语态,of 不能省。
13.C 答语意为:是的,不管我去哪里,我都喜欢结交新朋友。everywhere此处用作连词,引导状语从句。
14.B 考查there be结构的变化句型。句意:在交卷前似乎没有时间检查答案了。故用there seems to be...的结构形式。
15.C 句意:他们正沿着海岸走着,这时一个巨浪突然出现,将他们卷入大海。连词when引导时间状语从句,when相当于and then,常常带有“突然”之意,be doing...when...可翻译为“正在……,突然……”或“正在……,这时……”。

(1)(2012·辽宁高考)Leave your key with your neighbor you lock yourself out one day.
A.as long as B.even though C.in case D.as if
答案:C 分析空格前后两个句子的逻辑关系我们知道,空后的内容是条件,因此选in case,意思是“以防;假如”。句意:把你的钥匙留给你的邻居,以防有一天你把自己锁在外面。其他三个选项中,as long as也是表达“条件”,但是意思是“只要”;even though引导让步状语从句,意思是“即使”;as if引导方式状语从句,意思是“似乎”。

A.neither B.either C.each D.all

A.watched B.had watched C.was watching D.would be watching
答案:C 句意:吉姆在家看一部午夜电影,看到中间一幕惊险的场景时,屏幕上突然出现一片空白。该句考查be doing...when...结构,意为“正在做……就在这时(突然)……”。从后面的动作went blank可知“看电影”发生在过去;并且是当吉姆正在看的时候,所以该题要用过去进行时态,即was watching。

A.after B.while C.since D.when
答案:D 本题考查固定句式。句意:一个周五,我们正在打包裹动身去过周末,就在这时我女儿听到了呼救声。 表示“正在做……就在这时(突然)……”用be doing...when...,所以D项正确。when用作并列连词,在句中表示“就在这时(突然)……”之意,它构成的固定句式是:be doing sth./be about to do sth./had done sth.when...对于此类题,解题的关键是要理清题干或选项中出现的标志词,如本题中的were packing就是标志词,再结合句意与逻辑,套用固定句式,就能找到答案。

3.Before sb.... 某人还没来得及……就……
【常考用法】
before用作连词时,其基本含义是“在……之前”,又可以根据不同语境灵活翻译成“才”、“还没来得及就……”、“趁……”、“就”等。具体用法如下:
(1)与情态动词can/could连用
这时候从句虽为肯定形式,根据汉语表达习惯译成“还没来得及就”。
Before I could get in a word,he had measured me.我还没来得及插话他就为我量好了尺寸。
Before she could move,she heard a loud noise,which grew to a terrible roar.
她还没来得及迈步,就听见一声巨响,接着就是可怕的隆隆轰鸣。
(2)用于肯定句中强调主句所表达的时间、距离长,或花费的精力大,译成“才”。
We had sailed four days and four nights before we saw lands.
我们航行了四天四夜才看到陆地。
We waited a long time before the train arrived.我们等了很长时间火车才到。
(3)用于否定句中,强调主句所表达的时间、距离短,或花费的精力小,译成“不到……就”。
We hadn’t run a mile before he felt tired.我们跑了还不到一英里他就觉得累了。
(4)主句含有hardly,scarcely等半否定副词时可以译为“刚……就”。这时候主句应用过去完成时态,从句用过去时,还可以用when替代before。
We had scarcely reached the school before/when the bell rang.我们刚到学校铃声就响了。
(5)有时还有“(宁可……而)不愿”的意思。
I’d shoot myself before I apologized to him.我宁死也不向他道歉。
(6)用于It+be/takes+时间段+before句型。
在这一句型中又可以根据主从句的时态分成两种情况。
①若主句是一般将来时态,从句是一般现在时。若主句是肯定形式,意思是“要过多长时间才”;若主句是否定形式,翻译成“用不了多久就”。
It will be two weeks before everything returns to normal.两周之后一切才能恢复正常。
It will be many years before the situation improves.这种状况要过许多年才能得以改善。
It won’t be long before we meet again.用不了多久我们就会再见面的。
②若主句是一般过去时,从句也是一般过去时。若主句是肯定形式,翻译成“多长时间之后才”;若主句是否定形式,翻译成“没过多久就”。
It was some time before I realized that I was wrong.过了很长一段时间我才意识到我错了。
It wasn’t long before she became a brave soldier.没过多久她就成了一名勇敢的战士。
After that it still took seven years before they got married.那之后他们又过了七年才结婚。
【注意】
当主句的谓语动词为延续性动词时,before与until有时可以互换。如:It was an hour before/until the police arrived.

(2)(2013·陕西高考) I have heard a lot of good things about you I came back from abroad.
A.since B.until C.before D.when

(3)(2013·上海高考)I cannot hear the professor clearly as there is too much noise I am sitting.

【语篇解读】汶川地震发生后,来自世界150多个国家的驻华使节和国际组织代表陆续抵达外交部,在吊唁簿上签名留言,向中国政府和人民表示深切同情和诚挚慰问,对地震中的罹难者表示沉痛哀悼,还表达了他们对中国政府、军队以及中国人民对抗震救灾的支持。我驻外使馆也开展了一系列悼念活动。除了慰问外,国际组织还进行了捐款。
1.A 由上文的“a book of condolences(吊唁簿)”和下文的“the national mourning(全国哀悼)”可以看出,这里要表达的意思是:各国外交使节到外交部对地震中的罹难者表示沉痛哀悼。victim意思是“牺牲者,罹难者”。the wounded(受伤者)有很大的干扰性,但不符合上下文语境。
2.D remain和形容词连用,意思是“保持某个状态”,强调继续停留于一处或保持原状态。而最大的干扰项是maintain “维持;保持;使继续”,但该词是及物动词,后面要加宾语。
3.C conclusion用作名词,意思是“结束”。外交部举行的此次悼念活动将持续三天,直到全国哀悼日结束为止。如果不注意一词多义现象,忽略了conclusion还可以指“结束”,就很容易误选其他选项。
4.C 句意:来自150多个国家和国际组织的大使及外交官……from意思是“来自”。
5.B 来自150多个国家和国际组织的驻华使节排队在留言簿上签名,表达他们的哀悼之情。所以只有line up “排成行,排成列”符合语境。sign up “签约”;make up “编造”;stand up “起立”。
6.A 这里要表达的意思是,这些外交官员,向我们的遇难同胞低头致哀。bow one’s head意思是“向……低头”。
7.D support “支持,支援”。这些外交官还表达了他们对中国政府、军队以及中国人民对抗震救灾的支持。understanding(理解,了解)有很大的干扰性,但不符合他们积极捐款捐物支援我国灾区的事实,所以应该排除。
8.B deal with在这里表示“处理,应对”。
9.C the first to sign the book of condolences表示“第一个在吊唁簿上签名留言,向中国政府和人民表示深切同情和诚挚慰问的人”。design “设计,策划”;resign “辞职”;sign “签名;在……签字”;respect “尊敬,尊重”。
10.A while “而,然而”,表示对比。
11.D staff “全体员工”。墨西哥大使率领所有的大使馆工作人员参加了悼念活动,以表尊重。
12.B 代替表示人的先行词,在从句中作主语,引导一个非限制性定语从句,所以只能用关系代词who。
13.A 这里指的是该大使刚刚视察完灾区。所以要用visit。describe “描述”;rescue “营救,援救”;scan “浏览,细看”。
14.C 刚从灾区返回的印度大使也出席了悼念活动。因为前文介绍的都是出席悼念活动的大使们,结合空前的also,所以应选“present(出席的)”作表语。consistent “一致的,始终如一的”;absent “缺席的”;content “甘愿的,满意的”。
15.A receive在这里表示“接待或欢迎客人或来访者”。句意:外交部长杨洁篪接待了来宾,并表达了对外宾们友谊和支持的感激之情。
16.D gratitude “感激之情”。对于来慰问我们遇难同胞的友人的友谊和支持,自然应该是心存感激。 attitude “态度”;latitude “纬度”;altitude “海拔”。
17.D mission “大使馆”。上文介绍的是外交部在国内举办的悼念活动,各国驻华大使前去签名悼念。这里介绍的是我驻外使馆开展的悼念活动。句意:外交部驻外使馆也开展了悼念活动,并降半旗致哀。
18.B 此处所填的词指代的是“the leaders...and heads...”,且限定中心词condolences,所以要用their。句意:已有166个国家元首和30 多个国际组织的代表向中国表达了他们的哀悼。
19.C 这里要表达的意思是:除了派救济(relief)队到我们国家外,国际组织到2008年5月20日已经捐款246 000 000美元(支援中国灾区)。relief此处意为“救济”;chief “首领”;belief “信条,信念”;brief “概要”。
20.B donate意为“捐赠,捐献”,一般要接表示具体物体、金钱的名词。句意见上一题。

【语篇解读】2011年3月11日日本发生了地震。本文叙述了作者在震后亲眼看到的感人故事,从中他感受到了人们的良好品质。
1.A 地震之后,所有车辆都停运了,因此“我”只好走回家。四个选项只有traffic与walk home有关。

In 1989 an 8.2 earthquake almost flattened America,killing over 30,000 people in less than four minutes.In the middle of complete damage and disorder,a father rushed to the school where his son was supposed to be, 1 that the building was 2 .
After the unforgettably shock,he 3 the promise he had made to his son:“No matter 4 ,I’ll always be there for you!” And tears began to 5 his eyes.As he looked at the pile of ruins,it looked hopeless,but he kept remembering his 6 to his son.He rushed there and started 7 the ruins.
As he was digging,other helpless parents arrived, 8 :“It’s too late! They’re all dead! 9 ,face reality,there’s nothing you can do!” To each parent he responded with 10 :“Are you going to help me now?” No one helped.And then he continued to dig for his son,stone by stone.
Courageously he went on alone because he needed to know 11 :“Is my boy 12 or is he dead?” He dug for eight hours...12 hours...24 hours...36 hours...then,in 13 hour,he pulled back a large stone and heard his son’s 14 .He screamed his son’s name,“ARMAND!” He heard back,“Dad!?! It’s me,Dad! I told the other kids not to worry.I told them that if you were alive,you 15 me and 16 you saved me,they’d be saved.You promised,‘No matter what happens,I’ll always be there for you!’You did it,Dad!”
“What’s going on in there? ”the father asked.
“There are 14 of us 17 18 33,Dad.We’re scared,hungry,thirsty and thankful you’re here.When the building collapsed,it made 19 ,and it saved us.”
“Come out,boy!”
“No,Dad! Let the other kids out first, 20 I know you’ll get me! No matter what happens,I know you’ll always be there for me!”

【语篇解读】本文是一篇故事情节较强的记叙文。文章讲述了“父亲如何履行自己曾对儿子许下的诺言”,故事生动、感人,极富吸引力。
1.B only to do sth.“结果却,不料”,作结果状语,表示该结果在主语的预料之外;现在分词作结果状语,表示由主句所产生的逻辑上的结果。 realize在脑海里经过思维“认识到,了解”;discover在表面上就能“发现,看出”。
2.A 这四个选项都是英语成语,根据本段第一句an 8.2 earthquake almost flattened America判断,选择A项。
3.D 从意义上判断,“他想起了他曾对儿子许下的诺言”,故选D,remember“记起,想起”。memorized是“背诵,熟记”。
4.A 从结构上分析,该句是省略了谓语动词的省略句,省略谓语之后,意义仍然清楚,如不省略动词,则使用第三人称单数happens。从意义上分析,可排除C、D两项。
5.A 所给动词都可以表示“流泪”这种意义,但句式搭配不同,其表现形式分别为Tears fill his eyes;Tears come into his eyes;He bursts into tears。
6.B 从上下文意义判断,此处表示“他不停地想起他对儿子许下的诺言”。
7.B 动词和动词短语是完形填空设项的重点之一。此题要分清这四项的不同含义。dig及物动词,意为“掘(土),挖”;dig through“(为找……)在……里挖掘”;dig out “发掘出”;dig into“钻研”。
8.D 从结构上分析,应该用现在分词作伴随状语,用and则表示并列,应用said。
9.C Come on表示劝说、不耐烦,意为“得啦”“来”。
10.D 从词义上判断one line“一句话(台词)”符合题意。A项中的one word干扰性较大,它表示“一个词”,如用words 是正确的。
11.A “介词+反身代词”有固定含义,for oneself独自地,亲自;by oneself单独地;of oneself自行地,自动地;to oneself 对(着)自己。
12.C 这四个词都有“活着的”之意,live仅用作定语,作表语用living,alive。living和alive在意义上有细微差别,living可作定语和表语,含有“本以为死了,然而还活着”,如:I can’t believe my first teacher is still living.alive作表语和后置定语,其含义与dead相对应。lively“生动的,活跃的”。
13.D “在第38个小时的时候……”,序数词之前要用定冠词。
14.B 注意这四个词的区别:sound “(各种)声音”;voice “(人们说话的)嗓音”;noise “(不悦耳的)噪音”;tone “(人们说话的)语气,语调”。
15.B 这是表将来的虚拟语气,主句中用would +动词原形,从下文的句子中也能找到类似的句子。
16.A 从意义上判断,“如果你来救我,他们也会得救。”是条件状语从句,应该用if 引导,然而选项中没有if,when与if同义,引导条件状语从句。even if 引导让步状语从句。
17.C 此题包含一个固定句型:There are...left.“还有……剩余下来”。
18.C 14...out of 33 意为:33人中有14人活下来。out of “从……里面”。特别注意此题中的介词与前面的left没有任何联系。如果没有意识到这点,极可能会选错。
19.D 从意义上判断,“房屋倒塌时,自然形成的三角空隙”。而make room,make space 意为“(有意识地)为……腾出空间”。
20.A 从上下文意义判断,此句为原因状语从句。

In 1982,Steven Callahan was crossing the Atlantic alone in his sailboat when it struck something and sank.He got into a life boat,but his supplies were 1 .His chances of surviving were small. 2 when three fishermen found him 76 days later,he was alive—much 3 than he was when he started,but alive.
His 4 of how he survived is fascinating.His cleverness—how he 5 to catch fish,how he evaporated (蒸发) sea water to 6 fresh water—is very interesting.
But the thing that 7 my eye was how he managed to keep himself going when all hope seemed lost,and there seemed no 8 in continuing the struggle.He was starved and 9 worn-out.Giving up would have seemed the only possible choice.
When people 10 these kinds of circumstances (境遇),they do something with their minds that gives them the courage to keep going.Many people in 11 desperate circumstances 12 in or go mad.Something the survivors do with their thoughts helps them find the courage to carry on 13 difficulties.
“I tell myself I can 14 it,” wrote Callahan in his book.“Compared to what others have been through,I’m fortunate.I tell myself these things over and over, 15 up courage...”
I wrote that down after I read it.It 16 me as something important.And I’ve told myself the same thing when my own goals seemed 17 off or when my problems seemed too terrible.And every time I’ve said it,I have always come back to my 18 .
The truth is,our circumstances are only bad compared to something better.But others have been through the much worse,that is,in comparison with 19 others have been through,you’re fortunate.Tell this to yourself over and over again,and it will help you 20 the rough situations with a little more courage.

【语篇解读】本文为夹叙夹议文,通过Steven Callahan在横穿大西洋时遇险,最后在绝境下幸存的故事,说明在绝境下要一遍遍地告诉自己,还有别人的情况比你更糟糕,这会给你更多的度过困难情况的勇气。
1.C 句意:他跳上了救生船,但是他的供应(食物、水等)却很少。由中间的并列连词but可知,答案应从little和few当中选一个。不管是根据supplies 还是were都可确定要填修饰可数名词的few。
2.B 前一句提到:他生还的可能性很小。后一句提到:76天后,他被发现,还活着。中间应该是用表示转折关系的并列连词yet。
3.A 前面提到,他的食物供应等很少,76天之后当然比出发时要瘦了。
4.D attitude态度;assumption猜想,假想;instruction指导;account 描述。由语境可知D项正确。
5.C assist帮助,assist to do sth.帮忙做某事;tend to do sth.易于做某事;manage to do sth.设法做成某事;intend to do sth.打算做某事。由语境可知选C项。
6.A 此处表示他蒸发海水以制成纯净水。
7.C catch one’s eye为固定短语,意为“引起某人注意”。
8.D There seems no point in doing sth.做某事没意义,为固定句式。
9.B 由后一句Giving up would have seemed the only possible choice.可知,他完全饿坏了,累坏了。firmly坚定地;completely完全地;hardly几乎不;generally一般地。
10.C survive sth.从……中幸免于难,符合语境。
11.A 句意:许多人在类似绝望的情况下要么放弃,要么发疯。similarly相似地,类似地;differently不同地;gradually逐渐地;commonly普通地,常见地。
12.D give in屈服,让步,符合语境。
13.B for the lack of因为缺乏;in the face of面对;in exchange for作为交换;as a result of以……为结果。由语境可知B项正确。
14.A handle=deal with处理,应付,符合句意:Callahan告诉自己他能行。
15.C roll up(使)成卷(或筒、球)形;use up用完,用尽;build up逐步建立;make up弥补,编造。由句意“我一遍遍地告诉自己这些是为了积蓄勇气”可知C项正确。
16.D 我把它记下来,这就像一些重要的事一样打动了我。strike 打动,感动,符合句意。
17.A 当我自己的目标好像还很遥远时或者当我的问题好像太糟糕时我告诉自己同样的事情。far此处表示“程度上还很遥远”。
18.B 句意:每次我说这话时,我总是会清醒过来。指这些话对自己有很大的激励作用。
19.D 分析结构可知, 19 others have been through作介词with的宾语从句,从句中缺少宾语,故用what引导。
20.C get round流传,四处走动;get over 克服;get through度过(艰难而不愉快的一段时期);完成,打通电话;get off下车。由语境可知C项正确,此处意为“度过”。

That was why she was alone on the 4 ,wearing an expensive swimsuit.It has taken a massive tantrum to 5 her parents to buy it.They were back at the beach-house, 6 from the tantrum she had thrown when they told her that it was too dangerous to go diving 7 .“Dangerous?” she had said.“You just don’t want me to have 8 .I’m going and if you try to stop me,I’ll scream.”
“What are you doing?” a voice asked.Diane jumped.She did not know that the man was there 9 he spoke.
“I’m going diving,” she answered.
“You shouldn’t swim today,” the man 10 .“There is a storm coming up.”
“You should mind your own 11 !” Diane replied and walked into the gentle waves.
“If you go out there you’ll be 12 ,” the man called after her.She did not bother to reply.
Diane slipped into the water and dived 13 until white caps began rolling in and it became harder to 14 against the current (水流).Saltwater hit against her face,making it 15 to breathe.Oh,why had she not listened to advice?
Panicking,she began to 16 .Then,just as it seemed as if she would slip beneath the surface,she heard a 17 voice.“Hold on!I’m coming.” With 18 ,she saw the old man rowing an ancient-looking boat towards her.“I hope you’ve learned a lesson.You put us both in 19 ,” he shouted angrily,as he dragged her over the side of the 20 .Gratefully,Diane thanked him and ran towards the beach-house.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。Diane是一个以自我为中心并且受父母溺爱的孩子。她不听父母的劝告,也不理会一位老人的忠告,在暴风雨即将来临之际独自去潜水,遭遇了危险,最终被老人所救,在这次任性独自潜水的危险经历中,她认识到了自己的错误。
1.D 文章开篇点明Diane是一个完全以自我为中心,被溺爱坏了的孩子,所以父母会给她想要的一切(everything)。
2.B 如果不给的话,她会哭叫,躺在地板上乱踢,由drumming her heels(踢蹬脚后跟)可知是躺在地板上。
3.C 此情此景,她的父母总是向她屈服(give in)。
4.A 根据后文的wearing an expensive swimsuit,beach-house 以及diving可知A项正确。
5.C Diane发了一大通脾气才使得父母给她买了这套昂贵的泳衣。allow sb.to do sth.允许某人做某事;warn sb.to do sth.警告某人做某事;get sb.to do sth.让某人做某事;prefer sb.to do sth.更喜欢某人做某事。故只有选项C符合题意。
6.B 6空前说明父母正在沙滩后面的房子里,从她刚刚耍的脾气中缓解过来。change改变;recover恢复;appear出现;travel旅行。根据语义只能用B,表示从不快的情绪当中恢复过来。
7.A 从第二段第一句可知,她是单独在海滩上的,所以这里是形容词的复现,应该选A(alone单独的)。away离开;again 再一次;aside在旁边,都不符合。
8.D 根据文章语义,time 时间;money 金钱; food食物;fun 开心,和have搭配的话,A、B、C三项均不符合,所以只能说have fun(玩得开心)。
9.B 直到有人说话她才知道有人在那儿。until直到。
10.C 那人建议(advise)她不应该游泳,因为有暴风雨。线索一:根据空格前的一句话“You shouldn’t swim today”这是属于一个建议,所以10空应该是建议(advise)。 线索二:后文倒数第二段最后一个单词advice,是advise的名词变形。所以更确定选C。decide决定;intend打算,倾向;repeat 重复,均不符合题意。
11.A mind your own business管好你自己的事(别多管闲事)。
12.B 此处表示“如果你去那里的话,你会后悔的(sorry)”。
13.D Diane不管他人的劝告,自己兴高采烈地(happily)跳入起初浪花轻柔的水中游了起来。
14.B Diane 是在海中游泳,此时海浪强大,游泳艰难。线索一:女孩是在海中游泳;线索二:前后文当中多次出现swim,swimsuit,dive等原词和同义词的重复;线索三:后文当中的搭配是against the current(水流)可知,答案为B,swim游泳。rise 上升;stop 停止;row划船,均不符合文意。
15.A 线索一:前文当中出现了她游得更加困难了 harder的同义词复现;线索二:海水冲打着她的脸可知,是使得呼吸变得更加困难。easy 简单的;comfortable 舒服的;suitable 合适的,均不符合文意。
16.D 她惊慌了,所以大叫了起来。
17.A 根据后文“Hold on.I’m coming.”可知,在危难中她听到了镇定的声音。
18.B 看到有人来搭救自己,自然是松了口气。 with regret遗憾地,后悔地;with relief宽慰地;with interest好奇地;with ease熟练地,轻而易举地。故B项正确。
19.C 老人生气地教训她“你应该吸取教训了,你把我们都置于了危险的境地”。
20.D 线索一:前文中提到老人是划船去救她的;线索二:后文中提到是移向沙滩,可知,是将女孩从一边拉上船的。house 房子;wave 波浪;beach 海滩,均不符合文意。

The afternoon passed 8 .The sun was already 9 when the boys reluctantly (恋恋不舍地) 10 to make their 11 homewards.But long before they reached the headland,they could see that the tide had come in so sudden that they were now 12 from either end of the beach.Their only chance of 13 was to find a way up the cliff (悬崖) nearby.
They soon find a narrow path 14 the cliff top.But halfway up their path was 15 by a large rock which they could not climb 16 .The two boys had to 17 at the top of their voices, 18 that someone might 19 over the top of the rock,and finally came their father with two policemen. 20 of them climbed down a rope which was lowered over the rock.The boys were then pulled to safety,and thus saved from spending a miserable night on the cliff.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。描述了两兄弟未经父母允许外出探险,被困悬崖,最后在爸爸和两位警察的救援下,安全脱险。
1.B 从上下文看,A、C、D三项不符合句意,故不选。
2.A 上文说他们劝阻young sister不与他们同去,因此long walk would be too tiring符合逻辑。
3.B 通过上下文看,facing表示“面对”的意思。
4.B explore指探索。
5.D 岩石间应是pools。
6.C 这两个男孩没有见过那些海里的东西,故选strange。
7.D 表示“被潮水冲上来并留下的东西”,动词用leave。
8.A quickly可指时间过得飞快。

语法知能精解
定语从句(Ⅰ)——关系代词的用法
在复合句中修饰主句中某一名词或代词的从句,叫做定语从句。它所修饰的名词或代词叫做先行词。它的基本构成:先行词+关系词+定语从句。连接先行词和定语从句的词叫关系词。关系词分为关系代词和关系副词两种。关系词的主要作用是连接主句和从句,同时指代先行词,并在从句中充当一定的句子成分。定语从句又分限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句。引导定语从句的词有两种:关系代词和关系副词。关系代词有that,which,who,whom,whose等;关系副词有when,where,why等。
其具体用法见下表:
关系代词
指代的先行词
在从句中所作的成分
who
指人
主语、宾语、表语
whom
指人
宾语
whose
指人或物
定语
which
指物
主语、宾语、表语
that
指人或物
主语、宾语、表语
一、关系代词的用法
1.who指人,在定语从句中可以充当主语、宾语或表语。
Here comes the girl who wants to see you.想见你的那个女孩过来了。
Danny is a man who we should learn from.丹尼是我们应该学习的一个人。
2.whom指人,在定语从句中作宾语,可省略,也可用who代替。
Rose is the person whom you should look after.罗斯是你应该照顾的人。
3.whose可修饰人,也可修饰物,表“所属”关系,whose在定语从句中作定语。
I know the person whose company produces computers.我认识那个人,他的公司生产电脑。
4.which指事物,在定语从句中作主语、宾语或表语,作宾语时可省略。
China is a country which has a long history.中国是一个具有悠久历史的国家。
5.that既可指人,也可指物,在定语从句中作主语、宾语或表语,作宾语时可省略。习惯上多用who,whom指人,多用which指物。
The number of people that come to visit this city each year reaches one million.
每年来参观这座城市的人数达一百万。
The bag that lies on the ground is hers.地上放的那个包是她的。(that指物,作主语)
误区警示 ①关系代词代替先行词在定语从句中充当主语、宾语、定语,因此定语从句中不能再出现关系代词所替代的名词或代词。
[译]昨天晚上我们看的那部电影非常感人。
[误]The film (that/which) we saw it last night is very moving.
[正]The film (that/which) we saw last night is very moving.
②关系代词作主语时,不能省略;关系代词作宾语时可以省略。
Is that the girl (whom/that/who) you spoke of the other day?
那就是你前几天所提到的女孩吗?
二、只能用that而不用which引导定语从句的情况
1.先行词被序数词或形容词最高级修饰或先行词本身是序数词或形容词最高级时。
This is the most delicious food that I have ever had.这是我吃过的最美味的食品。
2.先行词是不定代词,如all,little,few,much,everything,anything,nothing,none,some等时。
All that can be done has been done.一切能做的都已经做了。
3.先行词被all,every,no,the only,the very,the last等修饰时。
I’ve read all the books that are not mine.我已经读了所有那些不是我的书。
The only thing that she could do was go to the police for help.
她唯一能做的事就是去求助警察。
学法点拨 以上三种情况有一个共同特点,就是先行词或先行词之前的修饰语往往带有“唯一”或者“全部”概念,以致无法作出“选择”。因为关系代词which原来也是疑问代词,表示“哪一个”,含有选择意味,所以,用that引导万无一失。
4.先行词既有人又有物时。
We often talk about the persons and things that we remember.
我们常常谈起我们记得的人和事。
5.当主句是以which开头的特殊疑问句时。
Which of the books that you bought is the most useful for my writing?
你买的书中哪一本对我写作最有用?
6.关系代词在定语从句中作to be的表语时。
He isn’t the boy that he used to be.他不再是过去的男孩了。
三、只能用which而不用that引导定语从句的情况
1.引导非限制性定语从句时。
Football,which is a very interesting game,is played all over the world.足球,一项非常有趣的运动,在全世界得到了普及。
2.当关系代词前有介词时。
This is the house in which he once lived.这就是他曾经住过的房子。
3.当先行词本身就是that时。
That which you told him about is what we want to know.你告诉他的事情就是我们想知道的。
4.在限制性定语从句中,如果有两个定语从句,其中一句的关系词是that,那么另一句的关系词就需用which。
Let me show you the novel that I borrowed from the library which was newly open.
让我给你看看我从新开放的图书馆借来的小说。
四、只能用who而不用that引导定语从句的情况
1.先行词是指人的不定代词时,如:one,anyone,no one,all,nobody,anybody,none等。
The student you should learn from is the one who works hard and studies well.你应该学习的是那位学习努力且成绩优异的学生。
2.在there be结构中,先行词指人时。
There is a young lady who asks for you.有位年轻女士找你。
3.一个句子中带有两个定语从句时,其中一个定语从句的关系代词是that,另一个宜用who。
The boy that you met last night is the group leader who studies very hard.
昨晚你遇到的那个男孩是个学习非常努力的组长。
误区警示 ①关系代词或关系副词的选择有两个原则:一是看先行词是人还是物;二是看先行词在从句中作什么成分。若先行词在从句中作主语、宾语或表语,则选关系代词;若先行词在从句中作状语,则选关系副词。
We’ll remember those days that/which we spent together.(作宾语)
We’ll remember those days when we played by the sea.(作状语)
②关系代词在从句中作主语时,根据先行词的单复数决定从句谓语动词的单复数。
He is the only one of the students who knows French.(the only one为先行词)
He is one of the students who know French.(students为先行词)
五、as引导定语从句
1.as用作关系代词,既可指人,也可指物。在定语从句中可作主语、宾语或表语。它常用在the same...as...,such...as...,as...as...等句型中,as不能省略。
Such teachers as know Tom think him bright.认识汤姆的老师都认为他聪明。
I’ll buy the same dictionary as you have.我要买和你的一样的词典。
误区警示 当先行词被such,the same修饰时,也可用that引导定语从句,但指同一物,而不是同一类。
This is the same bike that I lost two months ago.
这就是两个月前我丢的那辆自行车。(同一辆自行车)
比较:This is the same bike as I lost two months ago.
这辆自行车像两个月前我丢的那辆。(相像的自行车)
2.as引导非限制性定语从句,代替整个主句的内容。从句可放在主句前、主句后或主句中。
As we all know,the Great Wall of China has become world-famous.
我们都知道,中国的长城已变得世界闻名。
Lu Xun,as is known to us all,was a great writer.众所周知,鲁迅是一位伟大的作家。
学法点拨 as引导非限制性定语从句常用的固定表达:
as we all know众所周知 as is well known众所周知
as you see如你所见 as we expect正如我们预料的那样
as often happens正如经常发生的 as I can remember正如我所记得的
as has been said before如前所述 as is/was expected正如预料的那样
as can be seen正如所见 as may be imagined正如可以想象出来的那样

Everyone has heard of the San Andreas fault (断层),which constantly threatens California and the West Coast with earthquakes.But how many people know about the equally serious New Madrid fault in Missouri?
Between December of 1811 and February of 1812,three major earthquakes occurred,all centered around the town of New Madrid,Missouri,on the Mississippi River.Property damage was severe.Buildings in the area were almost destroyed.Whole forests fell at once,and huge cracks opened in the ground,releasing some strong smell chemicals.
The Mississippi River itself completely changed character,developing sudden rapids and whirlpools(激流和漩涡).Several times it changed its course,and once,according to some observers,it actually appeared to run backwards.Few people were killed in the New Madrid earthquakes,probably simply because few people lived in the area in 1811;but the severity of the earthquakes was shown by the fact that the shock waves rang bells in church towers in Charleston,South Carolina,on the coast.Buildings shook in New York City,and clocks were stopped in Washington,D.C.
Scientists now know that America’s two major faults are essentially different.The San Andreas is a horizontal (水平的) boundary between two major land masses that are slowly moving in opposite directions.California earthquakes result when the two masses make a sudden move.
The New Madrid fault,on the other hand,is a vertical fault;at some point,possibly hundreds of millions of years ago,rock was pushed up toward the surface,probably by volcanoes under the surface.Suddenly,the volcanoes cooled and the rock collapsed,leaving huge cracks.Even now,the rock continues to settle downwards,and sudden sinking motions cause earthquakes in the region.The fault itself,a large crack in this layer of rock,with dozens of other cracks that split off from it,extends from northeast Arkansas through Missouri and into southern Illinois.
Scientists who have studied the New Madrid fault say there have been numerous smaller quakes in the area since 1811;these smaller quakes indicate that larger ones are probably coming,but the scientists say they have no method of predicting when a large earthquake will occur.
1.This passage is mainly about .
A.the New Madrid fault B.the San Andreas
C.the causes of faults D.current scientific knowledge about faults
2.Which of the following pictures best describes the type of the New Madrid fault?
3.This passage implies that .
A.horizontal faults are more dangerous than vertical faults
B.vertical faults are more dangerous than horizontal faults
C.a lot of people would die if the 1811 New Madrid earthquakes happened today
D.the volcanoes that caused the New Madrid fault are still alive
【语篇解读】本文通过历史回顾和科学分析,提醒人们多关注New Madrid地区频繁的地震。
1.A 主旨大意题。由本文第一段的最后一句话“But how many people know about the equally serious New Madrid fault in Missouri?”可知。
2.B 细节理解题。由本文第四段和第五段内容可以判断The San Andreas fault是水平地震,而The New Madrid fault是垂直地震,所以B项正确。
3.C 推理判断题。本文无A、B两项相关内容;根据第五段中第二句“Suddenly,the volcanoes cooled and the rock collapsed,leaving huge cracks.Even now,the rock continues to settle downwards...”可以排除D项;根据第三段第三句“Few people were killed in the New Madrid earthquakes,probably simply because few people lived in the area in 1811...”可以推测答案为C。

A powerful earthquake struck the northeastern coast of Japan at 2:46 p.m.local time on March 11th,2011.Japan’s Meteorological Agency released its first tsunami warnings just three minutes later.The country has one of the best earthquake early warning systems in the world.
There are over 4,000 Seismic Intensity Meters (地震烈度测量仪) in place throughout Japan to measure earthquake activity.These meters provide information within two minutes of an earthquake happening.Information about the strength and the center of the earthquake can be learned within three minutes.There are also concrete sea walls around much of the Japanese coastline.But these measures proved no match for the powerful earthquake and tsunami.
Castas Synolakis is a tsunami expert in Los Angeles.He says,“Japan is one of those most well-prepared countries on earth in terms of tsunami warning.They had a warning.I think what went wrong is that they had not anticipated the size of this event.”
He says there are two reasons for this.Japan has not had any event anywhere near as big as this one in the last 150 years.And scientists had not expected such a large earthquake happening off the coast of Japan.
The 9.0-magnitude earthquake was the 4th most powerful earthquake ever recorded worldwide.It was also the worst earthquake ever to hit Japan.The tsunami waves that followed were reported to have reached as high as 13 meters in some areas.
Costas Synolakis says Japan’s concrete sea walls were not built to handle such high waves.A tsunami wave can travel as fast as 800 kilometers per hour.To get to higher ground people would often have to travel for many kilometers.This can take more time than a fast traveling tsunami will permit.This is especially true in cases like Japan,where the center of the earthquake struck so close to the coastline.The tsunami waves followed almost immediately.
Experts say early warning systems will continue to be limited by these facts until earthquakes and tsunamis can be predicted.
4.From the second paragraph we can infer that .
A.Japan is an island country
B.the center of the earthquake is located in the northeastern coast
C.the meters in Japan have dropped behind
D.many measures have been carried out to reduce the consequences of earthquakes in Japan
5.The underlined word “anticipated” in the third paragraph probably means“ ”.
A.predicted B.measured
C.counted D.prevented
6.The underlined words “these facts” in the last paragraph refer to the following EXCEPT .
A.the concrete sea walls can’t control the wave
B.it is the worst earthquake happening in Japan in the history
C.the speed of the tsunami is frightening and quick
D.there are many earthquakes in Japan
7.Which may be the best title of this passage?
A.Earthquakes and tsunamis can be predicted
B.A 9.0-magnitude earthquake hit Japan
C.Japan’s concrete sea walls
D.A report about Japan’s early warning systems
8.On which column of China Daily can you find the passage?
A.Technology. B.Culture discovery.
C.Travel. D.History.
【语篇解读】本文是科技文。日本的地震预警系统位居世界前列,能在地震发生后的两分钟内提供信息。三分钟内能够提供有关地震强度和震中的信息。在海啸预警方面,日本是世界上准备工作做得最充分的国家之一,但他们没有预测出这次海啸的规模如此之大。
4.D 推理判断题。A项说法正确,但不是本段的推理;B项不是由第二段推理得出的,是第一段中明示的信息。根据“These meters provide information within two minutes of an earthquake happening.Information about the strength and the center of the earthquake can be learned within three minutes.”判断,C项推理错误。D项根据所列事实可以推断得出。
5.A 猜测词义题。根据第四段和第五段信息可知,日本的海啸预警系统是世界上最好的之一,此次失误在于没有预料到海啸的规模如此大。
6.D 细节认定题。根据文章倒数第二段、倒数第三段内容可知答案为D。
7.D 主旨大意题。根据全文内容判断,文章介绍日本拥有世界上最先进的地震、海啸预警系统,但没有预料到这次大地震和海啸如此之猛。
8.A 推理判断题。本文主要介绍的是日本的地震、海啸预警系统的先进性和局限性。

The mom had died when the rescuers found her after the terrible earthquake.She was covered by a destroyed house.Through gaps (缝隙) of those ruins,the rescuers could see her last posture (姿势).It was something like an ancient person who was kowtowing (叩头),but it just looked strange because she was out of shape by pressure.
The rescuers confirmed her death by touching her through the gaps of the ruins.They shouted at the ruins again and again,knocked the bricks using various tools,but no reply inside.
Then the rescuing team went to the next building.Suddenly the leader ran back,calling,“Come here.” He came to the body,put his hands under the woman,feeling and touching,then shouted loudly and gladly,“There is someone,a baby,still living.”
Through some efforts,rescuers cleaned up the ruins which blocked her.Under her body lay her baby,who was covered by a small red quilt (棉被).He was about 3 or 4 months’ old.Since well protected by his mother’s body,he was safe.He was in a deep sleep when the rescuer carried him out,and his lovely and peaceful face warmed everyone around him.The doctor,along with the rescuing team,took the baby out of the quilt to check if the baby was all right,and he found there was a mobile phone in the quilt.The doctor looked at the screen;a written message was already there:“My dear baby,if you could live,don’t forget how much I love you.” As a doctor,he experienced much of this type of separation;but at this moment,he cried.The mobile phone was passed,and every person who saw this message shed (流出) tears.

Wong Fuk-wing,a Hong Kong volunteer (志愿者) at an orphanage (孤儿院) in Yushu,was killed in the earthquake when he was trying to save others on April 14,2010.
Wong managed to run safely out of the building with some children when the first quake happened at 7:50 a.m.on April 14,but he went back inside to rescue three other children and three teachers inside,although he knew the danger of aftershocks (余震).
At 10 a.m.,all the children and one of the teachers were saved.However,Wong was buried under the fallen building and died.The other two teachers were still waiting to be rescued.
46-year-old Wong was a truck driver,who often said he could only give his efforts to charity(慈善) instead of money,as he did not earn a lot.His tragic(悲剧的)end touched the hearts of many people both in Hong Kong and on the mainland.
Wong began volunteering in 2002.In 2003,Wong was told by the doctor he got serious illness,which gave him a great blow.However,the illness did not deter the warm-hearted man.When the earthquake struck Wenchuan in Sichuan Province in 2008,Wong rushed to the disaster area of Shifang to offer his help though his family did not want him to go.
In fact,Qinghai is a place Wong had often visited since 2006.As a volunteer,he gave out medicine and clothing to the orphanage there.No one could expect that Wong would die helping others.
Hong Kong Chief Secretary Henry Tang Ying?yen said he had “the highest respect” for the hero who gave his life for others.“What he did has shown the Hong Kong spirit.”The citizens of Hong Kong called him “the pride of Hong Kong’s people” and people on the mainland have also praised him as “a true hero”.
13.Wong died in the earthquake .
A.after he sent medicine and clothing to the orphanage
B.when he returned to save the teachers and students
C.because he suffered from his serious illness again
D.as the first earthquake happened
14.The underlined word“deter”in Paragraph 5 refers to “ ”.

A.He never visited Qinghai before 2010.
B.He was supported his family being a volunteer.
C.He was thought highly of by the Chinese.
D.He was a taxi driver before he died.
16.Which of the following words can be used to describe Wong according to the passage?

C.Proud and self?centered. D.Capable and hard?working.

I was sleeping in my room when my bed started shaking and a loud noise was heard.I woke up and my mom was screaming my name.Next moment I was running along with my younger sister,mom and dad.Before I ran out of the door,I realized my elder sister hadn’t come out yet.So I screamed her name at the top of my voice.My mom said she had gone to her class.Then the four of us,along with many others,were running on the staircase.We lived on the seventh floor,so I thought we would not be able to make it and the building would fall before we managed to reach even the fourth floor.My dad’s head was injured by something falling down.I did try to put my hand over his head.When we reached the sixth floor,the building split into two.We had no way to get down.
The next thing I remember is silence.There were around 30 people on the staircase and none could react.Five minutes later,someone opened the door of the sixth?floor flat.We all went in.We were wondering how we would get down.From the balcony of the sixth?floor flat,I saw people standing on the ground floor.All eyes were stuck on us.I could see my elder sister crying.
Our first hope of surviving came when a worker climbed a rope to where we were.That was,the first time we thought maybe we could get down.Half an hour passed and we were still trapped.Finally RSS people arrived with ropes.They got people down one by one.My biggest worry was how my dad would get down.Finally after two and a half hours,we all got down.
That day we saw the power of nature.It has taken more than two years to build the flats and it took just one and a half minutes to destroy the structure.

第Ⅱ组
A
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 California earthquakes recorded from 1769 to the present.The site lists the dates and times as well as the magnitude (震级) and the exact location of any quake that measured more than 6.0.There are only a few quakes 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 toward 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 little prayer—something like,“Help me get out of here in time,Dear Heavenly Father”.Minutes later,I was safe outside.

If the crust (外壳) of the earth were not pretty solid (坚固的),it would be shaking about and moving up and down frequently.However,there are places in the rocks of the earth’s crust where it isn’t strongly held together—where faults exist.Along the faults,one rock might push against another with great force.The energy is changed to vibration in the rocks,so they begin to shake and we have an earthquake!
The most famous one in North America was the San Francisco earthquake of 1906.Seven hundred people died and property(财产)damage amounted to about $425,000,000.The greatest destruction came from the fires that followed the quake.
One of the most famous earthquakes in Europe took place in Lisbon,Portugal,in 1755.The city was destroyed and at least thirty thousand people were killed.In 1908,in Calabria and Sicily,a quake killed about seventy-five thousand people.In 1915,in central Italy,hundreds of towns and villages were damaged and thirty thousand people were killed.
Two great earthquakes that caused great damage in Asia took place in Tokyo,Japan,and in Gansu Province in China.The Tokyo quake of 1923 killed more than one hundred thousand people and destroyed the city and the city of Yokohama,too.The Chinese quake in 1920 covered more than three hundred square miles and killed about two hundred thousand people.
5.The first paragraph mainly tells us .

In 1989 an 8.2 earthquake almost flattened America,killing over 30,000 people in less than four minutes.A father rushed to the school where his son was supposed to be,only to discover that the building was as flat as a pancake.
After the shock,he remembered the promise he had made to his son:“No matter what, I’ll always be there for you!” And tears began to fill his eyes.As he looked at the pile of ruins that once was the school,it looked hopeless,but he kept remembering his promise to his son.
Remembering his son’s classroom would be in the back right corner of the building,he rushed there and started digging through the ruins.
Other well-meaning parents tried to pull him off what was left of the school,saying:“It’s too late! They’re all dead! You can’t help! Face the reality,there’s nothing you can do!” He replied,“Are you going to help me now?” The fire chief showed up and tried to pull him off the school’s ruins saying,“Fires are breaking out,explosions are happening everywhere.You’re in danger.We’ll take care of it.Go home.” This loving,caring American father asked,“Are you going to help me now?”
The police came and said,“You’re anxious and it’s over.You’re endangering others.Go home.We’ll handle it!” He replied,“Are you going to help me now?” No one helped.
Courageously he went on alone.He dug for eight hours...12 hours...24 hours...36 hours...then,in the 38th hour,he pulled back a large stone and heard his son’s voice.He screamed his son’s name,“ARMAND!” He heard back,“Dad! It’s me,Dad! I told the other kids not to worry.I told them that if you were alive,you’d save me and when you saved me,they’d be saved.You promised no matter what happened,you would always be there for me! You did it,Dad!” “What’s going on in there? How is it?” the father asked.
“There are 14 of us left out of 33,Dad.”

After an earthquake most survivors can be expected to recover over time,particularly with the support of family and friends.Some families will be able to return to their normal life quickly,while others will have to contend with the destruction of their homes,medical problems,and injury to family members.Children especially will need time to recover from the loss of a loved one or a pet or from the closing down of their school.
Children often turn to adults for information,comfort and help.Parents should try to remain calm,answer children’s questions honestly and remain understanding when they see changes in their children’s behavior.
Children react differently to an earthquake depending on their ages,developmental levels and former experiences.Some will respond by withdrawing (不与人交往),while others will have angry outbursts(爆发).Parents should remain sensitive to each child’s reactions.Parents should spend time talking to their children,letting them know that it’s OK to ask questions and to share their worries.Although it may be hard to find time to have these talks,parents can use regular family mealtimes or bedtimes for them.They should answer questions briefly and honestly and be sure to ask their children for their opinions and ideas.Issues may come up more than once and parents should remain patient when you answer the questions again.For young children,parents,after talking about the earthquake,might read a favorite story or have a relaxing family activity to help them calm down.Parents should also tell children they are safe and spend extra time with them.They could play games outside or read together indoors.Most importantly,be sure to tell them you love them.

Tears of happiness and shouts of joy rang out last week at the San Jose mine in northern Chile as 33 miners were lifted to freedom,one by one.The men,ranging from 19 to 63 years old,have been buried alive since a cave in the copper and gold mine where they were working fell down on August 5.It is the longest time anyone has ever survived being trapped underground.
After the fall,the men found an emergency shelter off one of the mine’s tunnels.The temperature in the dark shelter was around 90°F.For more than two weeks,the miners’ water came from the radiator tanks on their work vehicles.They shared a supply of food that was meant to last for only 48 hours.
The miners were totally separated until rescue teams made contact with the men on August 22.They sent a note to the surface explaining their situation.Rescuers drilled small holes to reach the cavern and sent down supply tubes containing food,water,clothes,medicine,fresh air and other supplies.They also received letters from their families,a television set and games.
Additional falls slowed down rescue efforts.Finally,a tunnel was built that could fit a 13-foot rescue capsule,called the Pheonix.The escape hole measures 28 inches across,a tight fit for the winding 20-minute,2,041-foot ride.The first miner reached the surface just after midnight on Wednesday.More than half of the men had been brought to safety by Wednesday afternoon.
The miners were met by family members who were waiting at Camp Hope,a settlement of tents near the mine.Chile’s president,Sebastian Pinera,cheered at the scene and hugged the miners.“We made a promise never to surrender,and we kept it,”he said.After an immediate medical exam,the men were air-lifted to the nearest hospital for 48 hours of observation.

People living on parts of the south coast of England face a serious problem.In 1993,the owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered,to their horror,that their gardens had disappeared overnight.The sea had eaten into the soft limestone cliffs (石灰岩) on which they had been built.While experts were studying the problem,the hotel and several houses disappeared altogether,sliding down the cliff and into the sea.Erosion (侵蚀) of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem but it has become more serious in recent years.Dozens of homes have had to be abandoned as the sea has crept (慢慢地移动) farther and farther inland.Experts have studied the areas most affected and have drawn up a map for local people,forecasting the year in which the hungry sea will swallow up their homes.Angry owners have called on the Government to build sea defenses to protect their homes.Government surveyors have pointed out that in most cases,this is impossible.New sea walls would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would merely make the waves and currents go further along the coast,shifting the problem from one area to another.The danger is likely to continue,they say,until the waves reach an inland area of hard rock which will not be eaten as limestone is.Meanwhile,if you want to buy a cheap house with an uncertain future,apply to a house agent in one of the threatened areas on the south coast of England.You can get a house for a knockdown price but it may turn out to be a knockdown home.
5.What is the cause of the problem that people living on parts of the south coast of England face?
A.The rising of the sea level.
B.The experts’ lack of knowledge.
C.The washing-away of limestone cliffs.
D.The disappearance of hotels,houses and gardens.
6.The erosion of the white cliffs in the south of England .
A.will soon become a problem for people living in central England
B.has now become a threat to the local people
C.can be stopped if proper measures are taken
D.is quickly changing the map of England
7.The experts’ study on the problem of erosion can .
A.warn people whose homes are in danger
B.provide an effective way to slow it down
C.help to find out when the cliffs will disappear
D.lead to its final solution
8.It is not practical to build sea defenses to protect against erosion because .
A.house agents along the coast do not support the idea
B.it is too costly and will endanger neighboring areas
C.the government is too slow in taking action
D.they will be easily knocked down by waves and currents
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。说明英国南部居民面临一个严峻的问题:受石灰岩侵蚀,他们的家园慢慢被海水淹没。

An earthquake happens when two plates rub(摩擦) together.The earth plates travel in different directions and at different speeds.If one plate is slowly forced under the other,pressure builds up until the plates break apart.This process causes the ground to move.It is an earthquake.In other words,earthquakes are the shaking of the earth’s surface caused by the earth’s rocky outer layer (岩层) as a result of the energy stored within the earth.The strain within the rocks is suddenly released (释放).
The damage an earthquake causes depends on where it is and when it is happening.If an unpopulated region is struck,there will be low loss of life or property.If it hits a large city,there may be many injuries and much destruction.Many of the areas at risk are largely populated now.Major earthquakes hitting those areas today could produce terrible damage.
Actually,there are several million small earthquakes every year.Large earthquakes such as the 1964 Alaskan quake that measured 9.2 on the Richter scale,can cause millions of dollars in damage.In the last 500 years,millions of people have been killed by earthquakes around the world—including 240,000 in the 1976 Tangshan earthquake in China.
A 60-second or less earthquake can cause devastation (破坏) that continues for years after the first tremor (震动).In 1972,a series of severe earthquakes struck Managua,Nicaragua.Fifteen years later,the city still looked the way it had a week after the earthquake hit,because the country did not have the money necessary to rebuild it.
The shaking of the earth is sometimes not the greatest disaster.It is in the ensuing fires and floods that often the greatest damage occurs.In the 1906 earthquake,it was the fires caused after it that did the majority of the damage.An earthquake can also destroy dams high above a city or valleys,causing floods to sweep down and sweep away everything in their path.
9.Which of the following is the main idea of Paragraph 1?
A.An earthquake comes from inside the earth.
B.The earth has great energy in storage.
C.How the earth plates move.
D.How an earthquake happens.
10.How many examples are used in the passage to show the damage and destruction earthquakes cause?
A.Three. B.Four. C.Five. D.Six.
11.Which of the following is mentioned to show that an earthquake can kill too many people?
A.The 1964 Alaskan quake. B.The 1976 Tangshan earthquake.
C.The 1972 Managua earthquake. D.The 1906 earthquake.
12.The underlined word “ensuing” in the last paragraph probably means .
A.causing too much heat and great damage
B.causing many injuries and much destruction
C.happening as a result of another event
D.happening suddenly and unexpectedly

My name is Ben.I am 13,and I live in Chantilly,Va.Just yesterday,June 24,1996,I was at home watching my sister,who is mentally handicapped.My father was at work while my mother and younger sister were at my mom’s office.
I had noticed the clouds growing darker and the ones to the east were turning green.At first I thought nothing of it,but then on the TV,the weather reporter was announcing a big thunderstorm warning,one that usually brings hail and heavy rain.
After seeing that,I called my mother and told her about it.She told me I should not be worried because it was just a thunderstorm so we hung up.Then I looked outside and noticed it was almost pitch black at 4:30 pm.I took a flashlight because I was sure the power was going to go out any second.Then no sooner had I got back from getting the flashlight than the weather reporter announced a Tornado Warning!I had never been in an actual tornado before,but I had seen some funnel clouds before in Montana.
Suddenly I realized I had no time to lose and I had to try to get my sister down the stairs to the basement in a matter of minutes.I surprisingly got her down there with no trouble at all and I raced back up the stairs to get the cordless phone.When I got back downstairs my dad called and told me to get downstairs immediately.I told him I was already down there!He said OK and we talked for a few seconds and then we hung up.Then through the basement windows,the only thing I could see was when lightning struck.
I do not recall hearing of any deaths,or too many injuries so I guess everyone got a good head start to run to their basements.Either they or we are all lucky.
13.When Ben noticed the clouds growing darker, .
A.he knew a strong storm was coming
B.he didn’t pay much attention to it at first
C.he at once made a call to his mother

16.How did Ben’s father feel when he called Ben?
A.Worried. B.Excited. C.Disappointed. D.Encouraged.

Although hurricane season doesn’t begin until June 1,a Pacific storm has already struck.El Salvador,which was ruined by a Caribbean storm in 1995,was hit by Hurricane Adrian on Friday.This is the first Pacific-born hurricane to ever reach land in this Central American country.
Some 14,000 people left from the western coast of El Salvador.The storm weakened as it crossed land,heading east.Heavy rains created deadly flooding problems in the hurricane’s wake.
Adrian is the first Pacific storm of the season.It reported maximum continuous winds of 75 miles per hour,the minimum strength of a hurricane.A Category 3 hurricane,Adrian also caused damage and flooding in Honduras.It is expected to break up before reaching the Caribbean Sea on the eastern coast of Central America.
Hurricane season typically begins June 1 and lasts through November 30.The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has predicted seven to nine hurricanes for the 2005 season.
“It is difficult to make any kind of an exact prediction of how many of these will strike land,” NOAA administrator Conrad Lauten bacher said.He predicts two to three hurricanes will strike the U.S.this season.
Last year,six of nine hurricanes reached Category 3 strength or higher.Four of those hitFlorida within a six-week period.Altogether,Hurricanes Charley,Frances,Ivan,and Jeanne caused more than $40 billion in damage in the Sunshine State.
This year’s forecast is based on ocean temperatures.Warmer temperatures produce more tropical storms,which can then turn into hurricanes.
“The issue,really,this year is the unusually warm sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic,” said Frank Lepore of the National Hurricane Center.
17.Which of the following is the 2005 first hurricane?
A.Charley. B.Adrian. C.Jeanne. D.Frances.
18.How many countries struck by the hurricane are mentioned in the text?
A.Six. B.Nine. C.Five. D.Three.
19.We can infer that warmer ocean temperatures .
A.have nothing to do with the hurricane
B.cause less hurricane
C.are more likely to cause the hurricanes
D.do a lot of damage to the areas along the coast
20.The passage implies that .
A.hurricane season comes early this year
B.every hurricane formed in oceans could cause great damage to the land
C.hurricane often comes in winter and spring
D.tropical storm is more severe than hurricane
【语篇解读】这是一篇自然类短文。飓风的发生一般是有季节性的,但今年飓风比以往来得更早,这与海洋温度的升高有密切关系。
17.B 细节理解题。根据第一段的第二句话“El Salvador...was hit by Hurricane Adrian on Friday.”可知。
18.D 细节理解题。受hurricane侵袭的国家在文中提到的只有三个:El Salvador,the U.S.,and Honduras。Florida是美国的一个州名,其余Charley,Frances,Ivan,Jeanne等指的是飓风的名称而非国名。
19.C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的第二句话“Warmer temperatures produce more tropical storms,which can then turn into hurricanes.”可知。
20.A 推理判断题。根据第一段的第一句话“Although hurricane season doesn’t begin until June 1,a Pacific storm has already struck.”可知,今年的飓风比以往来得更早些。

When the earthquake hit Japan on March 11,2011,workers in a supermarket in Japan didn’t run away when they felt the shaking.Instead,they held on the shelves and tried to stop the goods (货物) from falling down.
Reporters from NHK,the country’s largest TV station,stayed calm in front of cameras during the earthquake,even though some were facing real danger.
The earthquake was the most powerful one to hit Japan in the country’s history.But Japan’s reaction (反应) to the accident has shown that it is the most earthquake-prepared country in the world.The calm the Japanese showed during and after the quake has impressed the world.
This is because Japan has “an earthquake culture”.Japanese people are taught how to prepare for and react to earthquakes from a young age.
Schools in Japan organize earthquake practices every month.They make students become familiar with being in an earthquake.

In Singapore,most of us love window-shopping while some others enjoy having a picnic at East Coast Park or Changi Beach on sunny days.Singaporeans are never bothered by the occasional thunderstorm.However,we know that if it rains for long continuous periods,there will be more serious effects.Just recently the main shopping street of Orchard Road was flooded and some part of Bukit Timah was impassable to traffic.People reacted by writing in to the newspaper to complain about this! We forget that other countries suffer much worse effects.
Elsewhere,heavy tropical(热带的)storms often result in floods that ruin crops especially in Thailand and Malaysia.This in turn usually means that the price of rice and vegetables here in Singapore will rise because we import these products from them.If there is a typhoon or tsunami,thousands of lives are lost too.This happened in Indonesia and Phuket in Thailand in 2004 and it serves to remind us of how Mother Nature can cause great damage.
Weather patterns in general have changed dramatically in recent years.Scientists believe that global warming and the resulting melting of the polar ice-cap has caused the level of the ocean to rise.This in turn causes flooding of low-lying areas in countries where the land is rather flat and some parts of which is below water level.It is believed that human activities have caused Mother Nature to show her extreme anger,so it is now important that we really work together to cut down on harmful activities,for example,illegal logging (伐木) or irresponsible forest-burning to clear land for farming.

Everyone knows the earth is big,most of which is covered by water.About ninety percent of the world’s water is salty and is found in our oceans and seas.But as we can’t drink seawater,how can it be important?
Every part of our seas and oceans contains an amazing number of animals and fish that live at different ocean depths.Most of the different species of animals and fish depend on simple plants for their food.These simple plants called algae (海藻) drift near the surface of the ocean and use sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into food and oxygen.In fact,algae produce over half of the oxygen people breathe.How important seawater is!
Each plant or animal in our seas and oceans is an important link in a food chain.The algae are eaten in large amounts by microscopic animals,which are in turn consumed by larger animals.These food chains are delicately balanced.
The bad news about the food chains in the oceans is that they are under threat because of man.People once thought that the oceans were so big that it didn’t matter if we dumped rubbish into them or caught huge quantities of fish and whales for food.But we now know this is not true and fish stocks in the oceans have started to drop.
Thankfully,the world is taking steps to protect the future of our oceans by introducing international agreements to protect marine habitats.Most countries have introduced fishing restrictions to protect fish stocks in the oceans and new techniques are being pioneered to cope with pollution.Finally,the importance of protecting oceans is being made known to more people.This is just the beginning of a long process to protect the oceans for our future.We depend on the oceans for fish which are an important part of the human diet.How important seawater is!
11.Which of the following statements is true?
A.Overly fishing has caused the decrease in fish stock.
B.It is very hard to break the balance of a food chain.
C.An amazing number of the fish and sea animals live at the surface of the seas.
D.It won’t be long before the problems concerning oceans will be solved.
12.What does the underlined word “delicately” mean?
A.easily-damaged B.hard-broken C.simply-made D.beautifully
13.In the past,people hold the view that the rubbish .
A.would kill the animal in the sea B.would change the balance of the sea
C.would pollute the sea D.wouldn’t have a bad influence on the sea
14.Which is the best title of the passage?
A.The importance of seawater. B.Fishing on the oceans.
C.Importance of food chains. D.How to deal with seawater pollution.
15.Which is not a good way to protect oceans?
A.The use of international agreements.
B.The use of new techniques.
C.Forbidding fishing to protect fish stocks.
D.Raising people’s awareness of the need to protect oceans.

The Great Wall is one of the wonders of the world and it has a long history of more than two thousand years.It walks from the east to the west in North China.It is about 6,000 kilometers long.It is called “Ten Thousand li Great Wall” by the Chinese people.
The Great Wall was about seven meters high.In many places it was wide enough for ten men to walk side by side along the top.Horses could run along the top,too.Along the Great Wall there are tall and strong watch towers (烽火台).The Great Wall was made of stones and bricks.There were big stones on both sides and on the top.
To build such a great wall over the mountain and down the valleys was not at all easy.When you look at the Great Wall,you can’t help wondering how the Chinese working people were able to build it without any modern machines.They did all the work with hands.They lifted the earth in baskets and pulled the stones in groups with ropes.They worked in such wild places that it was difficult to give them enough clothes to wear.Thousands of people died of hard work and hunger.
Many people were driven to work on the wall far away from their homes and they never came back.

Passage 1
[1] People are making more and more demands on the world’s natural resources.If babies born in 1991 live for eighty years,the human population of the world may be anything from twice to three times the present total by 2070.In other words,they will have to share what is left of the earth’s resources with 15 billion other people.But hopefully there will be an important decrease in the growth of population.What if this does not happen? The answer is that by the time before the babies born in 1991 reach the age of 40 they could be sharing resources with as many as 10 billion other people.

[3]There is no getting away from the fact that people the present state of the world,and only people can solve the problems.The decisions have to be taken by people as members of national and local governments;as leaders and decision makers in industry;as scientists and technologists;as professional engineers and designers;as religious leaders and individual citizens.

Passage 2
[1]Five years ago,David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day.“ I was a clothes addict.”He jokes.“I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.”Today David wears casual clothes—khaki pants and sports shirt to the office.He hardly ever wears a necktie.“I’m working harder than ever.”David says,“and I need to feel comfortable.”
[2]More and more companies are allowing their office workers to in the United States.The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual.In the early 1990s,many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday.This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”.“What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing,”said business consultant Maisly Jones.
[3]Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code.“Many young people don’t want to dress up for work,”says the owner of a software company,“so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.”Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes.In a study 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee motivation.Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative influence on productivity.Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money.“Suits are expensive,if you have to wear one every day,”one person said.“For the same amount of money,you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”
