Taiwan officials say a mudslide(泥石流) caused by heavy rains from Typhoon Morakot buried a mountain village in the southern part of the island. The fate of hundreds is unknown.
Rescue helicopters made their way up into the mountains to reach Shiao Lin village, bringing food, water and supplies to those who survived the mudslide. Some have been transported to safety. Leng Chia-yu, a spokesman at Taiwan's disaster response agency, says the fate of an estimated 500 people who live in the village, which was wiped out when the mudslide hit Sunday, is still unclear. Leng says that originally there were 150 buildings in Shiao Lin, but now only one or two are left. He says everything is gone, and officials do not know how many may have been buried. Leng says that while helicopters reached the village Tuesday morning, rain and strong winds made it impossible for them to return in the afternoon.
Landslides have also hit other parts of the island. Swollen（水涨的） rivers have wiped out roads and sucked away houses, hotels and even a school. Disaster officials say that up to Tuesday, the storm has killed 41 people and 62 are missing. Those figures do not include estimates for Shiao Lin.
Chinese state media say Typhoon Morakot caused floods and a mudslide China's east coast, and affected over eight million people. Hundreds of thousands have been forced to flee their homes as the storm heads north.

【黑龙江省海林市高级中学2012-2013学年高一下学期期中考试英语试题】
As most people know, in the past few years, sandstorms have swept across many cities and areas of North China, polluting the air and disturbing daily lives of human beings. People look dirty and suffer many kinds of illnesses, such as breath difficulty. The sandstorm is such a serious problem that it has not only undermined the industrial and agricultural development of our country but also caused a lot of trouble to the living conditions of the Chinese people. It is expected that effective(有效的) measures should be taken as soon as possible through our joint efforts to limit its occurrence.
So what should we do with the frightening sandstorms? Some experts put forward practical suggestions as follows: For one thing, more funs(基金)ought to be put into tree planting and forest protection so as to keep more water resources within the surface of the earth. For another, governments of all countries should make laws on environmental protection. For example, banning the use of throw-away chopsticks and punishing illegal tree cutting. Scientists should also study and find ways to cut down the degree of its destruction and to improve the whole environment.
How people look forward to sunny days with little breeze(微风)touching their faces now and forever! Nevertheless, I am fully confident that the golden days can come back so long as everyone tried his best to protect natural environment from today on.

56.【答案】A

57.【答案】B
【试题解析】文章的一开始就点明了主题，尽快采取有效措施来限制它（沙尘暴）的发生。而第一句polluting the air and disturbing daily lives of human beings（污染空气和扰乱人类的日常生活）也说明沙尘暴给人们生活带来许多不便。 故选B。
58.【答案】C
【试题解析】第二段提到了三个方法： more funs(基金)ought to be put into tree planting and forest protection（更多基金投入植树和森林保护）; governments of all countries should make laws on environmental protection（制定环境保护法）; Scientists should also study and find ways to cut down the degree of its destruction and to improve the whole environment（科学家研究发现减少破坏改进环境方法）。而banning the use of throw-away chopsticks and punishing illegal tree cutting（禁止扔筷子和处罚违法砍树）是make laws on environmental protection（环境保护法）中的一例子。 故选的是C项。

【重庆八中2012-2013学年度（下）半期考试高一年级英 语 试 题】
When Ben delivered milk to my home one morning before Christmas, he wasn’t his usual sunny self. He told me a customer had left without paying the bill, $79, nor leaving her new address. So it meant that he had to cover the loss.
“She was a pretty woman,” he said, “with six children and another on the way. She was always saying. ‘I’m going to pay you soon when my husband gets a second job.’ I believed her, but she left. Isn’t it annoying?”
“Give her the milk. Make it a Christmas present to the kids who need it.” I said.
The holidays came and went. On a sunny January morning two weeks later, Ben was rushing to deliver milk when he saw a woman running down the street, waving money. He recognized her immediately — the woman who didn’t pay her bill.
“I’m so sorry.” she said. “I really have been meaning to pay you.”
She explained that her husband had e home one night and announced he’d found cheaper apartment. He’d also got a new job. With all that happened, she’d forgotten to leave the new address. “But I’ve been saving,” she said. “Here’s $20 toward the bill. “
“That’s all right,” Ben replied. “It’s been paid.”
“Paid!” she cried. “What do you mean? Who paid it?”
“I did,” Ben said, “It went to the children as a Christmas present!”
61. Ben was upset one morning because _____.
A. he lost $ 79 on the way of the delivery
B. a customer left without paying the bill
C. he had to buy a present for the children
D. he was going to lose his present job
62. The author helped Ben by offering him _____.
A. a Christmas present B. the woman’s new address
C. a suggestion to cheer him up D. some money to cover the loss
63. We can probably infer from the passage that the woman _____.
A. cheated to raise her children B. was a person with honesty
C. moved to escape paying back the debts D. wanted to give her children a Christmas gift
64. What is the best title of the passage?
A. An Unhappy Christmas B. A Helpful Customer
C. A Poor Couple’s Life D. An Unusual Present
61.【答案】B
【试题解析】细节理解题，较易。根据题干的关键词“was upset”可定位答案于第一段，该段第一句“…wasn’t his usual sunny self”是题干的同义转述。该段的第二句解释Ben沮丧的原因，Ｂ项“一位顾客没付钱就走了”正是此句，故选Ｂ。
62. 【答案】C
【试题解析】细节理解题，较易。根据题干关键词“the author…offering”可将答案定位于第三段。Ｃ项“一条让他高兴的建议”是“Give her the milk….a Christmas present to …”的同义转述，故选Ｃ。
63.【答案】B
【试题解析】推理判断题，一般。根据文中第四段“…a woman running down the street, waving the money（讲到一女士拿着钱追我）”，第五段“Ｉreally …pay you（一直打算付钱给你）”，第六段“But I’ve been saving….Here’s $20 toward the bill（我一直在存钱，先付20美元）”可以推断出这女士的品质——很诚实，故选Ｂ。
64. 【答案】D
【试题解析】主旨大意题，较难。通读全文可知文章的主题句在最后一段“…It went to the children as a Christmas present!”。 Ben送的礼物不同寻常，而且这礼物对这位女顾客来说也是不同寻常的，这是文章的灵魂所在，故选Ｄ。
