A
Phoenix, Arizona, the USA was struck by a big sandstorm(沙尘暴) recently. It was a huge dust storm that struck Phoenixa little after 7:00 p.m. local time.
Arizona has sandstorms particularly during the monsoon(季风) season which usually starts from mid-June until the end of September. However, this was the biggest. The cloud of dust turned day into night. Some trees were downed and gardens were destroyed and it cut off the power of thousands of local people in the area, but luckily no death happened. A number of people's pools became dirty with dust. People who lived in Phoenix for more than 40 years said that this was the first time they had experienced this huge dust storm. It could greatly influence people's health.
The big dust cloud started in Tucson traveling north across the desert. The huge storm ran up to 60 miles per hour. It was more than 100 miles wide and a mile high. Besides Phoenix and nearby cities, the storm also reached Yuma County in southwestern Arizona. It reduced the visibility(能见度) in these areas, putting off the flights at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.
The storm only takes place in Arizona, the Sahara Desert and areas of the Middle East, because of the dry environment and large amounts of sand. Because of the serious shortage of rain, there's a large possibility that the water is polluted because of the storm.

A 9.0-magnitude earthquake off the Indonesian coast sent a wall of water racing toward Thailand, Malaysia and Sri Lanka. Lang was on the island of Phi Phi Don, just south of Phuket, Thailand, shopping on Main Street with her friend Rubina Wong, when suddenly everything changed. "People started running inland. From where we were, we could not see the beach so we had no idea what was going on," she said.
Lang and Rubina started running inland in the same direction as everyone else, when she noticed water flooding into the island, but it was so strong and fast that she could no longer lift her feet to run. Rubina had gone down a side street. Lang never saw her alive again.
Lang was stuck underwater between pieces of debris(碎片) with the surface just above her face. "The more I struggled(挣扎), the tighter I was stuck. I could not reach the surface. I thought I came here on my vacation to die, and then I got really annoyed," she said. "I must have blacked out because the next thing I remember is waking up underwater."
The water was still and black. Lang looked up and could see that at the top, there was a small circle of light. She started swimming through the water and made it to the surface of the water. She pulled herself onto a floating door and could see that the whole island was flooded and a lot of buildings were gone. She could see a house not far away and a man on its roof. She encouraged herself to climb over the floating objects to the balcony(阳台) of the house. From there she saw the water start to slowly go back to the ocean.
5.What was Lang doing when the tsunami happened
A.She was running in a race. B.She was playing on the beach.
C.She was shopping in the street. D.She was looking for her friend.

C.She didn't regret going on vacation. D.She kept awake all the time in the water.
8.How did Lang manage to save herself

C.By climbing up a tall tree. D.By making use of floating objects.

What do you think of when you hear the word “drought” Do you think of “dry” “hot” “dusty” “cracked(开裂的)earth” or even “no water” If so, you’re on the right track!
When some places are in drought, they may be dry, hot and dusty. Cracks may appear in the soil, and rivers, lakes, streams, and other sources of water may go dry. Other places in drought get some rain, but not as much as they usually receive during that season. Drought means that a place has less rain or snow than normal over a few months or even longer.
Drought has many causes. It can be caused by not receiving rain or snow over a period of time. We learned in the discussions above about the water cycle and weather. The changes in the wind patterns that move clouds and moisture through the atmosphere can cause a place not to receive its normal amount of rain or snow over a long period of time.
If you live in a place where most of the water you use comes from a river, a drought in your area can be caused by places upstream from you not receiving enough moisture. There would be less water in the river for you and other people who live along the river to use.
People can also play a big role in a drought. If we use too much water during times of normal rainfall, we might not have enough water when a drought happens.
9.What’s the purpose of Paragraph 1
A. To introduce the topic. B. To analyze the problem.
C. To conclude the article. D. To put forward an argument.
10.What will happen if a place is in drought
A. The weather will be dry, hot and windy.
B. There won’t be any water left in rivers or lakes.
C. There will be less rain or snow for quite a long time.
D. The rainy season will be replaced by the snowy season.
11.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “moisture” in Paragraph 3
A. Dust in the wind. B. Rain in the soil.
C. Snow on the ground. D. Water in the air.
12.What topics are discussed before the passage
A. The definition(定义) of drought. B. The water cycle and weather.
C. The causes of drought. D. The influence of drought.
D
The Horn of Africa was struck by billions of locusts(蝗虫). They flew through fields of crops at an amazing speed, killing crops in the process. The locusts crossed the Gulf of Aden and arrived in Somalia and Ethiopia. They were then found in Kenya and had become the worst disaster there in 70 years.
The U.N. says the area is affected by lack of food, and it warns that the international community only has a small window of opportunity to prevent future disaster". "These things are always voracious," says Keith Cressman. A swarm(一大群) the size of Manhattan can, in a single day, eat the same amount of food as everyone in both New York and California, he says. Swarms of desert locusts more than three times the size of New York City have been seen in northeast Kenya.
Experts know how to stop the locusts' spread, but say efforts have been prevented by a lack of resources because it's difficult to spray pesticide(喷洒农药) in conflict-racked(冲突肆虐的) places such as Somalia and Yemen. "We do have a chance to solve this problem in the bud, but that's not what we're doing at the moment," Mark Lowcock said. "We're running out of time."
Desert locusts are known for their rapid reproduction and ability to move long distances with the wind. "This kind of insect has been around for a long time," Mark Lowcock said. "It has so many different survival ways...to just survive in some of the harshest conditions and remotest parts of the planet. But it has the great ability to take advantage of good conditions." It reproduces rapidly—every three months, and in suitable conditions, the population could increase by 400 times every six months.
13.Where might locusts first appear
A.In Ethiopia. B.In Somalia.
C.In Kenya. D.In the Gulf of Aden.
14.What does the underlined word “voracious” mean
A.Expecting to fly. B.Wanting to eat. C.Being curious. D.Being cautious.
15.Which might be the cause of the locusts' spread
A.Experts' unawareness of how to prevent the locusts' spread.
B.Lack of people to deal with locusts.
C.The good living environment of the desert.
D.Losing the chance to solve the locust problem in the bud.
16.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A.Desert locusts' ability to take advantage of good conditions.
B.Desert locusts' long life on the earth.
C.Desert locusts' ability to reproduce and survive.
D.Desert locusts' different survival abilities.

A MOTHER’S DAY SURPRISE
The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother’s Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.
注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右。

答案以及解析
第一部分 阅读理解
第一节
A
1.答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句可知,在亚利桑那州,沙尘暴通常在6月中旬至9月末之间出现,这个时间是夏季和秋季。故选B项(在夏季和秋季)。
2.答案：A
解析：词义猜测题。文章开头讲到美国亚利桑那州的菲尼克斯市最近遭到了一场沙尘暴的袭击,画线词所在句的上一句指出亚利桑那州尤其在季风季节发生沙尘暴,由此可知,this指的就是上文提到的沙尘暴。故选A项。
3.答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第二段第四句可知,幸运的是,在这场沙尘暴中没有人丧生,即所有人都幸存下来了。故选C项。
4.答案：D
解析：主旨大意题。根据文章第一段第一句并结合全文其他内容可知,文章主要讲了菲尼克斯市最近遭受的一场沙尘暴。故选D项。A项(亚利桑那州的菲尼克斯市有更多的沙尘暴)和B项(沙尘暴对人们造成了很多危害)只是文中涉及的两个方面,不能作为整篇文章的主旨。本文没有提到预防沙尘暴的措施,故C项(我们必须做些什么来防止沙尘暴)错误。
B
5.答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据题干定位到第一段第二句“Lang在泰国普吉岛南部的皮皮岛上和她的朋友Rubina Wong在主街购物,这时突然一切都变了。”由此可知,海啸发生时,Lang正在街上和朋友一起购物。故选C。
6.答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第一句中的“water flooding into the island, but it was so strong and fast that she could no longer lift her feet to run(水漫进了岛上,但水流又强又快,以至于她再也不能抬起脚跑了)”可知,涌向岛上的水流很急、水力很大,Lang根本跑不动。故选D。
7.答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Lang被困在水下的碎片之间,水面刚好没过她的脸。‘我越挣扎,就被卡得越紧。我无法到达水面……’ ”可知,Lang被困在了水下。故选B。
8.答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段第四、五、六句“她把自己拖到一扇漂浮的门上,可以看到整个岛都被洪水淹没,许多建筑物都没了。她可以看到不远处的一座房子,屋顶上有一个人。她鼓励自己爬过漂浮物到达那座房子的阳台上。”可知,Lang利用水中的漂浮物支撑着自己,最终爬到不远处一座房子的阳台上,脱离了危险。故选D。
C
9.答案：A
解析：推理判断题。本文第一段以“自问自答”的设问句引入了本文话题一干旱。故第一段的主要目的是引入话题。
10.答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句"Drought means that a place has less rain or snow than normal over a few months or even longer"可知，干旱发生时，较长时间内降水量少于正常量。
11.答案：D
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词下文的cause a place not to receive its normal amount of rain or snow可知，画线词所在句描述了降水不足的原因。风带走了空气中的水分，从而导致降水减少。
12.答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段第三句“We learned in the discussions above about the water cycle and weather.”可知，在本文之前已经讨论了“水循环和天气”。
D
13.答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句可知,蝗虫的移动路线为the Gulf of Aden→Somalia and Ethiopia→Kenya,所以蝗虫可能首先出现在亚丁湾。故选D。
14.答案：B
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句的下一句可知,一个曼哈顿大小的蝗虫群在一天内就可以吃掉相当于纽约和加利福尼亚州每个人加起来的食物量。由此可推知,画线词所在句表示“这些东西总是非常贪吃”。故选B。
15.答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段最后的“We do have a chance to solve this problem in the bud, but... were running out of time.”可知失去了在初期解决蝗虫问题的机会,这是蝗虫蔓延的一个原因。故选D。
16.答案：C
解析：主旨大意题。第四段第一句介绍了沙漠蝗虫以其快速繁殖和随风长距离迁徙的能力而闻名;接下来的“It has so many different survival ways”说明了蝗虫的生存能力;该段结尾“the population could increase by 400 times every six months”佐证了蝗虫繁殖能力强。故选C“沙漠蝗虫的繁殖和生存能力”。A.“沙漠蝗虫利用良好环境的能力”,B.“沙漠蝗虫在地球上的漫长寿命”,D.“沙漠蝗虫不同的生存能力”都是第四段的细节。
第二节
答案：①-⑤ CGFEB
解析：本文主要针对大学生如何适应寝室生活这一话题给出了四条建议。
①根据上文中的"I talked with a lot of students who had trouble living in a dorm room"可知,作者当了两年的宿舍协管员,遇到过许多国家的学生,对于如何适应寝室生活非常有经验。而下文都是介绍怎样去适应寝室生活的,所以C项"下面是些我想和大家分享的生存技巧"符合语境,承上启下。
②根据空后的"It's your HOME"可知,作者建议尽可能地使自己的寝室个性化,因为那是你自己的家。G项"你的寝室不只是你睡觉或学习的地方"和空后的"它是你的家"紧密联系。故选G。
③由语境可知,本段强调"清洁很重要"。F项"制订一个每个人都能遵守的时间表"与下文"这样的话,寝室就能一直保持清洁了"衔接连贯。D项是干扰项,但是和下文没有联系,故选F。
④由空前的"Try healthy snacks such as fruit and yogurt"可知,作者鼓励大学生在寝室准备一些健康的零食,且由下文中的"the Freshman 15 doesn't apply(对……适用)only to freshmen"可知,Freshman 15并不仅限于新生,这暗示其他年级的学生也会发生这种情况。故E项"但是要小心Freshman 15,也就是长胖15磅"正确。
⑤据空后的"The key to getting along well with others is communication"可知,本段建议要多和室友沟通。B项"不要喊叫,而要说出来"符合语境,B项中的"talk it out"与下文中的"talk it out with your roommate first"相呼应。

答案：①rose②to eat③It④the⑤injured⑥shocked⑦wondering⑧who⑨survivors⑩finally
解析：①考查动词的时态。根据上一句中的before the Tangshan earthquake可知,此处讲的是唐山大地震前的情况,为过去发生的事情,需用一般过去时,故填rose。
②考查不定式。句意:鸡和猪都紧张得吃不下东西。too...to..意为“太……而不能……”,此处需填不定式作结果状语。故填to eat。
③考查代词。It seems/seemed as if...表示“似乎/好像……”。故填It。句意:好像世界末日就要到了!
④考查冠词。句意:不到一分钟,整个城市就成了一片废墟……。此处特指整个城市,需要在whole前加定冠词the。
⑤考查过去分词。get injured意为“受伤”。故填injured。
⑥考查形容词。主语为People,设空处作表语,故用形容词shocked。be shocked at...意为“对……感到震惊”。
⑦考查现在分词。句意:人们深陷困境,想知道这场灾难要持续多久。设空处前面已有谓语got into,且逗号后无连词,故设空处应为非谓语动词。wonder与其逻辑主语People之间为主动关系,故用现在分词作伴随状语。
⑧考查定语从句。设空处无提示词,前面为代词those, "⑧_____ were trapped"中缺主语(设空处后面为谓语),且将前面的those作为主语代人后面发现意思合理,故推测设空处引导定语从句且在从句中充当主语,指代先行词those,指人,故填who。
⑨考查名词复数。survivor意为“幸存者”,为可数名词,空前没有限定词,所以用复数形式。故填survivors。
⑩考查副词。设空处后是一个完整的句子,提示词是形容词,所以用副词作状语,故填finally。
第三节
答案：
A Terrible Flood
A terrible flood hit A city yesterday, causing great damage. The number of deaths stood at 50 and hundreds of people were injured. Numerous houses and roads were in ruins, leaving a great many citizens homeless. Food was hard to get and water and electricity supplies were cut off.
Soon after the flood, rescue workers, including medical teams and troops, were quickly organized and sent to the disaster-hit area. Fresh water and food were transported to the area. People donated money voluntarily. Volunteers from around the country came to aid in the disaster relief work.
With a large donation and joint efforts of all the people, it is believed that A city will revive itself and get back up on its feet soon.
答案：
As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father appeared. Father’s appearing was like a savior to the two children. Under the guidance of their father, they took positive actions and started all over again. They made the bread and then went on cooking porridge.

Phoenix, Arizona, the USA was struck by a big sandstorm(沙尘暴) recently. It was a huge dust storm that struck Phoenixa little after 7:00 p.m. local time.
Arizona has sandstorms particularly during the monsoon(季风) season which usually starts from mid-June until the end of September. However, this was the biggest. The cloud of dust turned day into night. Some trees were downed and gardens were destroyed and it cut off the power of thousands of local people in the area, but luckily no death happened. A number of people's pools became dirty with dust. People who lived in Phoenix for more than 40 years said that this was the first time they had experienced this huge dust storm. It could greatly influence people's health.
The big dust cloud started in Tucson traveling north across the desert. The huge storm ran up to 60 miles per hour. It was more than 100 miles wide and a mile high. Besides Phoenix and nearby cities, the storm also reached Yuma County in southwestern Arizona. It reduced the visibility(能见度) in these areas, putting off the flights at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.
The storm only takes place in Arizona, the Sahara Desert and areas of the Middle East, because of the dry environment and large amounts of sand. Because of the serious shortage of rain, there's a large possibility that the water is polluted because of the storm.

A 9.0-magnitude earthquake off the Indonesian coast sent a wall of water racing toward Thailand, Malaysia and Sri Lanka. Lang was on the island of Phi Phi Don, just south of Phuket, Thailand, shopping on Main Street with her friend Rubina Wong, when suddenly everything changed. "People started running inland. From where we were, we could not see the beach so we had no idea what was going on," she said.
Lang and Rubina started running inland in the same direction as everyone else, when she noticed water flooding into the island, but it was so strong and fast that she could no longer lift her feet to run. Rubina had gone down a side street. Lang never saw her alive again.
Lang was stuck underwater between pieces of debris(碎片) with the surface just above her face. "The more I struggled(挣扎), the tighter I was stuck. I could not reach the surface. I thought I came here on my vacation to die, and then I got really annoyed," she said. "I must have blacked out because the next thing I remember is waking up underwater."
The water was still and black. Lang looked up and could see that at the top, there was a small circle of light. She started swimming through the water and made it to the surface of the water. She pulled herself onto a floating door and could see that the whole island was flooded and a lot of buildings were gone. She could see a house not far away and a man on its roof. She encouraged herself to climb over the floating objects to the balcony(阳台) of the house. From there she saw the water start to slowly go back to the ocean.

What do you think of when you hear the word “drought” Do you think of “dry” “hot” “dusty” “cracked(开裂的)earth” or even “no water” If so, you’re on the right track!
When some places are in drought, they may be dry, hot and dusty. Cracks may appear in the soil, and rivers, lakes, streams, and other sources of water may go dry. Other places in drought get some rain, but not as much as they usually receive during that season. Drought means that a place has less rain or snow than normal over a few months or even longer.
Drought has many causes. It can be caused by not receiving rain or snow over a period of time. We learned in the discussions above about the water cycle and weather. The changes in the wind patterns that move clouds and moisture through the atmosphere can cause a place not to receive its normal amount of rain or snow over a long period of time.
If you live in a place where most of the water you use comes from a river, a drought in your area can be caused by places upstream from you not receiving enough moisture. There would be less water in the river for you and other people who live along the river to use.
People can also play a big role in a drought. If we use too much water during times of normal rainfall, we might not have enough water when a drought happens.
9.What’s the purpose of Paragraph 1
A. To introduce the topic. B. To analyze the problem.
C. To conclude the article. D. To put forward an argument.
10.What will happen if a place is in drought
A. The weather will be dry, hot and windy.
B. There won’t be any water left in rivers or lakes.
C. There will be less rain or snow for quite a long time.
D. The rainy season will be replaced by the snowy season.
11.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “moisture” in Paragraph 3
A. Dust in the wind. B. Rain in the soil.
C. Snow on the ground. D. Water in the air.
12.What topics are discussed before the passage
A. The definition(定义) of drought. B. The water cycle and weather.
C. The causes of drought. D. The influence of drought.
D
The Horn of Africa was struck by billions of locusts(蝗虫). They flew through fields of crops at an amazing speed, killing crops in the process. The locusts crossed the Gulf of Aden and arrived in Somalia and Ethiopia. They were then found in Kenya and had become the worst disaster there in 70 years.
The U.N. says the area is affected by lack of food, and it warns that the international community only has a small window of opportunity to prevent future disaster". "These things are always voracious," says Keith Cressman. A swarm(一大群) the size of Manhattan can, in a single day, eat the same amount of food as everyone in both New York and California, he says. Swarms of desert locusts more than three times the size of New York City have been seen in northeast Kenya.
Experts know how to stop the locusts' spread, but say efforts have been prevented by a lack of resources because it's difficult to spray pesticide(喷洒农药) in conflict-racked(冲突肆虐的) places such as Somalia and Yemen. "We do have a chance to solve this problem in the bud, but that's not what we're doing at the moment," Mark Lowcock said. "We're running out of time."
Desert locusts are known for their rapid reproduction and ability to move long distances with the wind. "This kind of insect has been around for a long time," Mark Lowcock said. "It has so many different survival ways...to just survive in some of the harshest conditions and remotest parts of the planet. But it has the great ability to take advantage of good conditions." It reproduces rapidly—every three months, and in suitable conditions, the population could increase by 400 times every six months.
13.Where might locusts first appear
A.In Ethiopia. B.In Somalia.
C.In Kenya. D.In the Gulf of Aden.
14.What does the underlined word “voracious” mean
A.Expecting to fly. B.Wanting to eat. C.Being curious. D.Being cautious.
15.Which might be the cause of the locusts' spread
A.Experts' unawareness of how to prevent the locusts' spread.
B.Lack of people to deal with locusts.
C.The good living environment of the desert.
D.Losing the chance to solve the locust problem in the bud.
16.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A.Desert locusts' ability to take advantage of good conditions.
B.Desert locusts' long life on the earth.
C.Desert locusts' ability to reproduce and survive.
D.Desert locusts' different survival abilities.

A MOTHER’S DAY SURPRISE
The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother’s Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.

1.答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句可知,在亚利桑那州,沙尘暴通常在6月中旬至9月末之间出现,这个时间是夏季和秋季。故选B项(在夏季和秋季)。
2.答案：A
解析：词义猜测题。文章开头讲到美国亚利桑那州的菲尼克斯市最近遭到了一场沙尘暴的袭击,画线词所在句的上一句指出亚利桑那州尤其在季风季节发生沙尘暴,由此可知,this指的就是上文提到的沙尘暴。故选A项。
3.答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第二段第四句可知,幸运的是,在这场沙尘暴中没有人丧生,即所有人都幸存下来了。故选C项。
4.答案：D
解析：主旨大意题。根据文章第一段第一句并结合全文其他内容可知,文章主要讲了菲尼克斯市最近遭受的一场沙尘暴。故选D项。A项(亚利桑那州的菲尼克斯市有更多的沙尘暴)和B项(沙尘暴对人们造成了很多危害)只是文中涉及的两个方面,不能作为整篇文章的主旨。本文没有提到预防沙尘暴的措施,故C项(我们必须做些什么来防止沙尘暴)错误。
B
5.答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据题干定位到第一段第二句“Lang在泰国普吉岛南部的皮皮岛上和她的朋友Rubina Wong在主街购物,这时突然一切都变了。”由此可知,海啸发生时,Lang正在街上和朋友一起购物。故选C。
6.答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第一句中的“water flooding into the island, but it was so strong and fast that she could no longer lift her feet to run(水漫进了岛上,但水流又强又快,以至于她再也不能抬起脚跑了)”可知,涌向岛上的水流很急、水力很大,Lang根本跑不动。故选D。

解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段第四、五、六句“她把自己拖到一扇漂浮的门上,可以看到整个岛都被洪水淹没,许多建筑物都没了。她可以看到不远处的一座房子,屋顶上有一个人。她鼓励自己爬过漂浮物到达那座房子的阳台上。”可知,Lang利用水中的漂浮物支撑着自己,最终爬到不远处一座房子的阳台上,脱离了危险。故选D。
C
9.答案：A
解析：推理判断题。本文第一段以“自问自答”的设问句引入了本文话题一干旱。故第一段的主要目的是引入话题。
10.答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句"Drought means that a place has less rain or snow than normal over a few months or even longer"可知，干旱发生时，较长时间内降水量少于正常量。
11.答案：D
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词下文的cause a place not to receive its normal amount of rain or snow可知，画线词所在句描述了降水不足的原因。风带走了空气中的水分，从而导致降水减少。
12.答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段第三句“We learned in the discussions above about the water cycle and weather.”可知，在本文之前已经讨论了“水循环和天气”。
D

14.答案：B
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句的下一句可知,一个曼哈顿大小的蝗虫群在一天内就可以吃掉相当于纽约和加利福尼亚州每个人加起来的食物量。由此可推知,画线词所在句表示“这些东西总是非常贪吃”。故选B。
15.答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段最后的“We do have a chance to solve this problem in the bud, but... were running out of time.”可知失去了在初期解决蝗虫问题的机会,这是蝗虫蔓延的一个原因。故选D。
16.答案：C
解析：主旨大意题。第四段第一句介绍了沙漠蝗虫以其快速繁殖和随风长距离迁徙的能力而闻名;接下来的“It has so many different survival ways”说明了蝗虫的生存能力;该段结尾“the population could increase by 400 times every six months”佐证了蝗虫繁殖能力强。故选C“沙漠蝗虫的繁殖和生存能力”。A.“沙漠蝗虫利用良好环境的能力”,B.“沙漠蝗虫在地球上的漫长寿命”,D.“沙漠蝗虫不同的生存能力”都是第四段的细节。
第二节
答案：①-⑤ CGFEB
解析：本文主要针对大学生如何适应寝室生活这一话题给出了四条建议。
①根据上文中的"I talked with a lot of students who had trouble living in a dorm room"可知,作者当了两年的宿舍协管员,遇到过许多国家的学生,对于如何适应寝室生活非常有经验。而下文都是介绍怎样去适应寝室生活的,所以C项"下面是些我想和大家分享的生存技巧"符合语境,承上启下。

④由空前的"Try healthy snacks such as fruit and yogurt"可知,作者鼓励大学生在寝室准备一些健康的零食,且由下文中的"the Freshman 15 doesn't apply(对……适用)only to freshmen"可知,Freshman 15并不仅限于新生,这暗示其他年级的学生也会发生这种情况。故E项"但是要小心Freshman 15,也就是长胖15磅"正确。
⑤据空后的"The key to getting along well with others is communication"可知,本段建议要多和室友沟通。B项"不要喊叫,而要说出来"符合语境,B项中的"talk it out"与下文中的"talk it out with your roommate first"相呼应。

第二节
答案：①rose②to eat③It④the⑤injured⑥shocked⑦wondering⑧who⑨survivors⑩finally
解析：①考查动词的时态。根据上一句中的before the Tangshan earthquake可知,此处讲的是唐山大地震前的情况,为过去发生的事情,需用一般过去时,故填rose。
②考查不定式。句意:鸡和猪都紧张得吃不下东西。too...to..意为“太……而不能……”,此处需填不定式作结果状语。故填to eat。
③考查代词。It seems/seemed as if...表示“似乎/好像……”。故填It。句意:好像世界末日就要到了!
④考查冠词。句意:不到一分钟,整个城市就成了一片废墟……。此处特指整个城市,需要在whole前加定冠词the。
⑤考查过去分词。get injured意为“受伤”。故填injured。
⑥考查形容词。主语为People,设空处作表语,故用形容词shocked。be shocked at...意为“对……感到震惊”。
⑦考查现在分词。句意:人们深陷困境,想知道这场灾难要持续多久。设空处前面已有谓语got into,且逗号后无连词,故设空处应为非谓语动词。wonder与其逻辑主语People之间为主动关系,故用现在分词作伴随状语。
⑧考查定语从句。设空处无提示词,前面为代词those, "⑧_____ were trapped"中缺主语(设空处后面为谓语),且将前面的those作为主语代人后面发现意思合理,故推测设空处引导定语从句且在从句中充当主语,指代先行词those,指人,故填who。
⑨考查名词复数。survivor意为“幸存者”,为可数名词,空前没有限定词,所以用复数形式。故填survivors。
⑩考查副词。设空处后是一个完整的句子,提示词是形容词,所以用副词作状语,故填finally。
第三节
答案：
A Terrible Flood
A terrible flood hit A city yesterday, causing great damage. The number of deaths stood at 50 and hundreds of people were injured. Numerous houses and roads were in ruins, leaving a great many citizens homeless. Food was hard to get and water and electricity supplies were cut off.
