Unit 4 Natural Disasters 综合测试
一、阅读理解
Every year there are hundreds of earthquakes in different parts of the world. In September,1923,Tokyo and Yokohama were both destroyed by an earthquake and the fires that followed it. They had to be completely rebuilt. One of the most serious earthquakes was in China’s Shaanxi Province in 1556.It killed almost one million people.
We measure an earthquake’s strength on the Richter Scale. The Richter Scale was introduced in 1935 in Southern California in the USA.It measures earthquakes on a scale of one to ten. Any earthquake measuring five or more is usually serious.
The Earth’s crust is made up of rock called plates. As these plates move,they sometimes crash against each other,causing the crust to quake. In cities such as Tokyo,where small quakes happen quite often,many modern buildings are designed to be flexible so when the Earth moves,they move with it.
Earthquakes can also break up gas and oil pipes. This can cause fires to break out,which can do as much damage as the earthquake itself. Another effect of earthquakes is tsunamis. These are huge waves created by earthquakes beneath the sea. They can be many metres high and cause great damage to coastal towns and cities. China,Japan,Russia and the USA have the highest occurrence(发生) of earthquakes in the world.
1.The passage is mainly about _______.
A.scientists who study earthquakes
B.a usual natural disaster
C.the way of measuring earthquakes
D.what people should do in earthquakes
2.From the passage,we can know that earthquakes _______.
A.happen all over the world
B.are not serious
C.most possibly happen in Japan
D.don’t cause much damage
3.According to the passage,we know that tsunamis _______.
A.can cause earthquakes
B.can be caused by earthquakes
C.only happen on land
D.are a way of measuring earthquakes
Finding a Job
4.In which job do you need to speak a foreign language
A.Advert A. B.Advert B.
C.Advert C. D.Advert D
5.Which job is suitable for those who are busy during the weekdays
A.A babysitter. B.A newspaper deliverer.
C.Working in a café. D.Working in a museum shop.
6.Who are these job adverts mainly designed for
A.Parents. B.Teenagers.
C.Full-time workers. D.English speakers.
An earthquake happens when two plates rub together. The earth plates travel in different directions and at a different speed. If one plate is slowly forced underneath the other,pressure(压力)builds up until the plates break apart. This process(过程)causes the ground to move. It is an earth-quake. In other words,earthquakes are the shaking of the earth’s surface caused by the earth’s rocky outer layer 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(财产). 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 Alaska earthquake that measured 9.2 on the Richter scale, caused millions of dollars in damage. In the last 500 years, millions of people have been killed by earthquakes around the world-including over 240,000 in the 1976 Tangshan earthquake in China.
A60-second or less earthquake can cause devastation that continues for years after the first tremor. 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 necessary money 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.
7.Which of the following is the main idea of the first paragraph
A.An earthquake comes from the inside of the earth.
B.The earth has great energy in storage.
C.How the earth plates move.
D.How an earthquake happens.
8.What does the underlined word “ensuing” in the last paragraph probably mean
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.
9.By giving the example in Paragraph 4, the author wants to show that ______.
A.an earthquake doesn’t last long B.the damage can last long
C.people in Managua suffered too much D.Nicaragua is still a poor country
二、七选五
How to Deal with Being Indoors During an Earthquake
Would you know what to do if you are indoors during an earthquake _10_
Stay indoors.Do not move outside.Many modern buildings made of RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) are designed to withstand moderate earthquakes and are actually quite safe._11_ Going outside is dangerous when people get injured from things falling off the building or other buildings._12_ Drop before the earthquake drops you.Use the “Drop,Cover and Hold” method—drop onto the ground,take cover under a strong and sturdy object and cover your head with your hands and arms.Hold onto whatever you might be underneath,because if it starts to move,you’ll want to make sure that you’re moving with it.
Get under something heavy._13_ If possible,get under something heavy like a desk or table.Cover your head.Get down low and make sure that you are protected from things that might be falling in your home.
Find other supports if you cannot shelter under something.If you’re not able to get under a table or other forms of protection,get next to an interior wall.Make yourself as small as possible.Cover your head and protect yourself while the shaking is going on.
Stay in bed if you are there already.If an earthquake starts while you are in bed,the best thing is to stay there.Cover your head and neck with your pillow and ride out the shaking._14_ It has been reported that people who get out of bed during an earthquake are more likely to be injured as they may step on broken glass.
A.Drop onto the ground.
B.Find a heavy desk quickly.
C.Earthquakes lead to many disasters.
D.Do not get out of bed until the shaking stops.
E.This simple how-to will bring you up to speed quickly.
F.It is unlikely that you will be able to walk during an earthquake.
G.Steps and lifts are actually more dangerous than staying indoors.

参考答案:
1.B 2.A 3.B
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了每年在世界各地发生的地震这种常见的自然灾害。
1.主旨大意题。根据本文第一段“Every year there are hundreds of earthquakes in different parts of the world.( 世界各地每年都会发生数百次地震。)”以及第二段中“We measure an earthquake’s strength on the Richter Scale.( 我们用里氏震级来衡量地震的强度。)”以及第三段“The Earth’s crust is made up of rock called plates. As these plates move,they sometimes crash against each other,causing the crust to quake.(地壳是由叫做板块的岩石构成的。当这些板块移动时,它们有时会相互碰撞,导致地壳震动。)”以及第四段中“Earthquakes can also break up gas and oil pipes. This can cause fires to break out…Another effect of earthquakes is tsunamis(地震也会破坏天然气和石油管道。这会引起火灾……地震的另一个影响是海啸。)”可知,本文介绍了世界各地每年都会发生数百次地震,怎样衡量地震的震级、地震形成的原因以及地震会引起火灾和海啸。因此本文主要是介绍地震这种常见的自然灾害。本文的主旨是“a usual natural disaster(一种常见的自然灾害)”符合题意,故选B项。
2.细节理解题。根据本文第一段“Every year there are hundreds of earthquakes in different parts of the world. ( 世界各地每年都会发生数百次地震。)”以及最后一段中“China,Japan,Russia and the USA have the highest occurrence of earthquakes in the world.(中国、日本、俄罗斯和美国是世界上地震发生率最高的国家。)”可知,世界各地每年都会发生数百次地震,尤其最多的是中国、日本、俄罗斯和美国。因此,从这篇文章里,我们能够了解到地震:A项“happen all over the world(在世界各地发生)”符合题意。故选A项。
3.细节理解题。根据本文最后一段中“Another effect of earthquakes is tsunamis. These are huge waves created by earthquakes beneath the sea.(地震的另一个影响是海啸。海啸都是海底地震产生的巨浪。)”可知,海底地震产生了巨浪,进而形成了海啸。因此,根据本文,我们可以了解到海啸B项“can be caused by earthquakes(是由地震引起的)”符合题意。故选B项。
4.C 5.C 6.B
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四则兼职工作的招聘启事。
4.细节理解题。C广告里提到“We need French, Spanish or German speakers to work us…”(我们需要会说法语、西班牙语或德语的人来为我们工作)可知,C广告需要应聘者会说一门外语,故选C。
5.判断推理题。题意为哪种工作适合在工作日繁忙的人,推理得到哪种工作时间为周六和周日。对比四则广告可知只有Working in a café的工作时间为周六早上八点到下午四点,适合题目中提到工作日繁忙的人,故选C。
6.细节理解题。本题可以运用排除法得出。题意为这些工作招聘广告是主要是针对哪些人,A广告和B广告提到了“after school放学后”与“before school上学前”,C广告中的“Holiday jods”,D广告中的“PART-TIME WORK”故可知是针对青少年,而C广告提到了需要会说法语、西班牙语或者德语,所以只说英语是不符合要求的,故排除D选项;而第一二三则广告提到了工作时间的限制,故不适合有全职工作的人,故排除C。四则广告并没有提到要求是针对“父母”的,故排除A。综上最后选B。故选B项。
7.D 8.C 9.B
【导语】这是一篇说明文,主要介绍了地震发生的原因并结合实例说明地震所带来的危害。
7.段落大意题。文章第一段“An earthquake happens when two plates rub together. The earth plates travel in different directions and at a different speed. If one plate is slowly forced underneath the other,pressure(压力)builds up until the plates break apart. This process(过程)causes the ground to move. It is an earth-quake. In other words, earthquakes are the shaking of the earth’s surface caused by the earth’s rocky outer layer as a result of the energy stored within the earth. The strain within the rocks is suddenly released(释放).(当两个板块摩擦时就会发生地震。地球板块以不同的方向和速度运动。如果一个板块慢慢地被挤压到另一个板块下面,压力就会增加,直到板块破裂。这个过程导致地面移动。这是地震。换句话说,地震是地球外层岩石作为储存在地球内部的能量的结果而引起的地表震动。岩石中的张力突然释放出来。)”可知本段讲述了地震是如何发生的:地球板块的相互摩擦导致压力不断聚集,直至板块破裂,这个过程会引起地面的移动,地震也随之发生;故选D项。
8.词义猜测题。由下文“In the 1906 earthquake, it was the fires caused after it that did the majority of the damage.(在1906年的地震中,造成大部分损失的是地震之后引发的火灾。)”本句是对上句的承接,是对上句所述问题进行举例阐述,即地震之后会引发火灾,推知“It is in the ensuing fires and floods that often the greatest damage occurs.”讲述的是“正是在随之产生的火灾和洪水中,往往发生最大的破坏。”故推知划线单词ensuing的意思是“随之产生的”,选项C“Happening as a result of another event(因另一事件而发生)”符合词义;故选C项。
9.推理判断题。根据文章第四段“A 60-second or less earthquake can cause devastation that continues for years after the first tremor. 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 necessary money to rebuild it.(60秒或更短的地震会造成破坏,并在第一次地震后持续数年。1972年,一系列强烈的地震袭击了尼加拉瓜的马那瓜。15年后,该市的状况仍和当年地震发生一周后一样,因为国家没有足够的资金重建它。)” 本段第一句是主旨句,讲述了地震带来的破坏可能会持续数年,后面拿1972年马那瓜的地震举例,讲述马拉瓜在地震后的15年看起来就像是地震刚发生完一周一样,表明了地震所带来的破坏持续的时间之久,所以作者给出这个例子的目的就是为了表明地震所带来的伤害可以持续很长时间;故选B项。
10.E 11.G 12.A 13.F 14.D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了地震时呆在室内该如何应对的建议。
10.根据上一句“Would you know what to do if you are indoors during an earthquake ”(你知道地震时如果你在室内该怎么做吗?)文章以问句开头,同时后文介绍了几个在室内时应对地震的方法,选项E“这个简单的方法会让你快速上手。”符合文意。故选E。
11.根据上一句“Many modern buildings made of RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) are designed to withstand moderate earthquakes and are actually quite safe.”(许多现代建筑由RCC(钢筋水泥混凝土)被设计成能够承受中等强度的地震,实际上是相当安全的。)以及下一句“Going outside is dangerous when people get injured from things falling off the building or other buildings.”(当人们被从建筑物或其他建筑物上掉落的东西弄伤时,外出是危险的。)可知,比较之下在地震时呆在室内更安全,选项G“楼梯和电梯实际上比呆在室内更危险。”符合文意。故选G。
12.根据下文“Drop before the earthquake drops you. Use the “Drop, Cover and Hold” method—drop onto the ground, take cover under a strong and sturdy object and cover your head with your hands and arms. ”(在地震将你击倒之前蹲下。使用“蹲下,掩护和抓住”的方法——蹲下,在一个坚固的物体下寻找掩护,用手和胳膊盖住头部。)可知,此处提到采用蹲在地上的方法保护自己,选项A“蹲在地上。”符合文意。故选A。
13.根据下一句“If possible, get under something heavy like a desk or table.”(如果可能的话,躲到像书桌或桌子这样的重物下面。)可知,此处提到地震时不能走路而是应该躲在重物之下保护自己,选项F“地震时你是不可能走路的。”符合文意。故选F。
14.根据下一句“It has been reported that people who get out of bed during an earthquake are more likely to be injured as they may step on broken glass.”(据报道,地震时从床上起来的人更容易受伤,因为他们可能会踩到碎玻璃。)可知,此处建议地震时不要起床走动,因为会踩到碎玻璃,选项D“震动停止前不要起床。”符合文意。故选D。
15.D 16.B 17.C 18.A 19.A 20.B 21.C 22.D 23.D 24.B 25.C 26.A 27.B 28.A 29.C 30.D 31.A 32.B 33.D 34.C
