It was raining like nothing before when Ehdaa Bujeldain, an English teacher living with her family in the mountains of Derna in eastern Libya , heard a loud noise that sounded like an explosion (爆炸). Later they learned that a dam (大坝) in Derna had broken down under the pressure of running water. For the next four days, they had no power or internet, and it was only recently that they started to fully understand of the damage caused by the floods.
“Half of the city has been destroyed. My mom’s relatives, my friends, my coworkers ——they are all gone. Now we, the survivors, are just ghost s in shells,” says Bujeldain, whose sadness can be easily told from her blank expression.
Five days have passed since the terrible flooding in Derna, Libya’s Red Crescent organization estimated that 11,300 people have died, while the city’s mayor believes the number of deaths could be as high as 20,000.
Derna is a coastal city with a seasonal river called the Wadi Derna. Despite the abnormally heavy rain, people living near the river had little warning before the floodwaters came rushing in on that terrible morning. United Nations aid chief Martin Griffiths described the scale of the flood as “appalling” (令人惊骇的) and blamed the flood partly on sudden climate change.
Now international aid teams are arriving in Derna, but they face challenges due to damaged roads, lack of access to power, water, and fuel. Tarhoni, doctor of the rescue team, warns that the most difficult weeks lie ahead. “One disaster is done and there is another to come,” he says. “The thousands and thousands of people who lost everything these people now need comfort, they need company, they need psychological support.”
4. What do we know about Bujeldain’s family from paragraph 1
A. The explosion they heard led to the destruction of the dam.
B. Bujeldain saved her family from the floods with her bravery.
C. Bujeldain immediately recognized the outbreak of the floods.
D. For several days, they didn’t fully realize the seriousness of the floods.
5. What does Bujeldain mean by saying they are “just ghosts in shells” in paragraph 2
A. They run out of energy and are very tired.
B. They feel lucky as they are safe and sound.
C. They are completely saddened and shocked.
D. They are sorry for the loss of their homeland.
6. According to the passage, which of the following does NOT contribute to the loss of lives
A. The absence of warning. B. The extraordinary rainfall.
C. Unexpected climate change. D. The damage to environment.
7. What might be the main focus of international aid efforts in Derna
A. Addressing mental problems.
B. Providing immediate medical care.
C. Conducting climate change research.
D. Rebuilding roads and access to resources.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。报道了德尔纳遭遇特大洪水，造成上万人死亡，以及引起洪水的原因和国际救援队伍正在提供救助。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“It was raining like nothing before when Ehdaa Bujeldain, an English teacher living with her family in the mountains of Derna in eastern Libya , heard a loud noise that sounded like an explosion (爆炸). Later they learned that a dam (大坝) in Derna had broken down under the pressure of running water. For the next four days, they had no power or internet, and it was only recently that they started to fully understand of the damage caused by the floods.(当和家人住在利比亚东部德尔纳山区的英语教师艾达·布耶尔丹(Ehdaa Bujeldain)听到一声巨响，听起来像是爆炸声时，下着前所未有的雨。后来，他们得知德尔纳的一座水坝在流水的压力下倒塌了。在接下来的四天里，他们没有电，也没有网络，直到最近，他们才开始完全了解洪水造成的破坏)”可推知，四天里，他们没有电，也没有网络和外界断开了联系，所以几天来，他们没有完全认识到洪水的严重性。故选D项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据前文“Half of the city has been destroyed. My mom’s relatives, my friends, my coworkers ——they are all gone.(半个城市被毁了。我妈妈的亲戚，我的朋友，我的同事——他们都不在了)”以及后文“whose sadness can be easily told from her blank expression.(从她茫然的表情可以很容易地看出她的悲伤)”可知，布耶尔丹因为洪水失去了亲戚，朋友和同事，非常的悲伤，所以她说“just ghosts in shells”表达他们完全感到悲伤和震惊。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Derna is a coastal city with a seasonal river called the Wadi Derna. Despite the abnormally heavy rain, people living near the river had little warning before the floodwaters came rushing in on that terrible morning. United Nations aid chief Martin Griffiths described the scale of the flood as “appalling”(令人惊骇的) and blamed the flood partly on sudden climate change.(德尔纳是一座沿海城市，有一条季节性河流叫做德尔纳河。尽管下着异常的大雨，但在那个可怕的早晨，洪水涌来之前，住在河边的人们几乎没有得到任何预警。联合国救援组织负责人马丁·格里菲斯称这次洪水的规模“令人震惊”，并将洪水部分归咎于突如其来的气候变化)”可知，因为没有任何预警，下着异常的大雨以及突如其来的气候变化导致了生命的流逝，文中没有提到对环境的破坏的因素。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Tarhoni, doctor of the rescue team, warns that the most difficult weeks lie ahead. “One disaster is done and there is another to come,” he says. “The thousands and thousands of people who lost everything these people now need comfort, they need company, they need psychological support.”(救援小组的医生塔霍尼警告说，最困难的几周还在后面。“一场灾难过去了，另一场灾难还在后头，”他说。“成千上万失去一切的人现在需要安慰，需要陪伴，需要心理支持。”)”可知，对救援小组来说最难的是安慰幸存者，所以他们的重点可能是解决心理问题。故选A项。
C
Tourists visiting La Gomera and EI Hierro in the Canary-Islands can often hear locals communicating over long distances by whistling — not a tune (曲调), but the Spanish language. The locals are communicating in Silbo, a whistled Spanish language.
Whistled languages are almost developed in rough, mountainous regions or in thick forest. That’s because whistled speech carries much farther than ordinary speech or shouting. As a result, whistled speech can be understood up to 10 times as far away as ordinary shouting. That lets people communicate even when they cannot easily approach close enough to shout. On La Gomera, for example, a few traditional shepherds (牧羊人) still whistle to one another across mountain valleys that could take hours to cross.
Whistled languages work because many of the key element s of speech can be produced in a whistle, says Meyer. We distinguish one speech sound from another by small differences in their sound frequency patterns. A long “e”, for example, is formed higher in the mouth than along “o”, giving it a higher sound.
To language scientists, such languages are more than just a curiosity. By studying whistled languages, they hope to learn about how our brains get meaning from the complex sound patterns of speech. Whisting may even provide a chance to know one of the most dramatic jump forward in human evolution (进化); the origin of language itself.
Despite their interest to both language experts and casual observers, whistled languages are disappearing rapidly all over the world, and some, such as the whistled form of the Tepehua language in Mexico, have disappeared. “Now you still find whistled speech only in places that are very, very remote, that have had less contact with modernity and less access to roads,” Meyer says.
Fortunately, there is still hope. UNESCO, the UN cultural organization, has listed two whistled languages, Silbo, and a whistled Turkish, as the world’s cultural heritage. Such attention can lead to conservation efforts.
8. What led to the development of whistled languages
A. Geographic inaccessibility. B. Rapid increase in tourism.
C. Greater information capacity. D. Interest of language experts.
9. Why are a long “e” and a long “o” mentioned in Paragraph 3
A. To show what key elements speech has.
B. To explain the differences between speech sound frequency patterns.
C. To prove the popularity of whistled language in the world.
D. To show the disadvantages of whistled languages.
10. What might be a reason for the disappearance of whistled languages according to Meyer
A. Difficulty of understanding. B. Lack of attention.
C. Expansion of other cultures. D. Modernization.
11. What does the underlined word “conservation” mean in the last paragraph
A. Impression. B. Experiment. C. Protection. D. Graduation.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了口哨语言的发展。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Whistled languages are almost developed in rough, mountainous regions or in thick forest. That’s because whistled speech carries much farther than ordinary speech or shouting. As a result, whistled speech can be understood up to 10 times as far away as ordinary shouting. That lets people communicate even when they cannot easily approach close enough to shout. (口哨几乎是在粗糙的山区或茂密的森林中发展起来的。这是因为吹口哨的讲话比普通的讲话或叫喊要远得多。因此，吹口哨讲话的理解力是普通叫喊的10倍。这让人们即使在无法轻易靠近大喊大叫的情况下也能进行交流)”可知，地理位置的不便促进了口哨语言的发展。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“We distinguish one speech sound from another by small differences in their sound frequency patterns. A long “e”, for example, is formed higher in the mouth than along “o”, giving it a higher sound. (我们通过声音频率模式的微小差异来区分一种语音和另一种语音。例如，长“e”在口腔中形成的位置比沿着“o”的位置高，从而发出更高的声音)”可推知，第三段提到长“e”和“o”是为了解释声音频率模式之间的差异。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中““Now you still find whistled speech only in places that are very, very remote, that have had less contact with modernity and less access to roads,” Meyer says.(“现在，你仍然只能在非常、非常偏远的地方发现吹口哨的情况，这些地方与现代性的接触较少，道路也较少，”迈耶说)”可推知，在迈耶看来，现代化是口哨语言消失的原因。故选D。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文“Fortunately, there is still hope. UNESCO, the UN cultural organization, has listed two whistled languages, Silbo, and a whistled Turkish, as the world’s cultural heritage.(幸运是，还有希望。联合国教科文组织，已经将两种口哨语言，Silbo和一种口哨土耳其语，列为世界文化遗产)”可知，联合国教科文组织已将将两种口哨语言列为世界文化遗产，这是在保护口哨语言，这种关注会导致对口哨语言的保护。由此推知，划线单词意为“保护”，与C项“Protection.(保护)”意思一应。故选C。
D
What is the most shocking about the heatwave affecting the Pacific Northwest is not that it has hit a usually mild area, nor that so many long-standing temperature records are being broken. It is that those records are being broken by such large margins (幅度). In Portland, Oregon, temperature reached 46.6℃(116°F) — making it one of several cities in the region where former records have been beaten by a full 5℃(9°F). At the same time, heatwaves are also hitting central Europe and even Siberia.
Heatwaves may become headlines, but less attention is paid to them. In 2018 about 300,000 people over the age of 65 died as a result of extreme heat, mainly in India, a 54% increase since 2000, according to a report in the Lancet, a medical journal. The report also shows that, unlike storms and floods, heat does not lead to dramatic before-and-after pictures or widespread damage to belongings. It is a silent killer. As many as 70,000 people died due to a heatwave in Europe in 2003.
Heat also kills by worsening health conditions such as heart problems, so not all the deaths it causes may be directly attributed (归因) to it. Climate change will make heatwaves more common and more extreme. Even if greenhouse-gas emissions (排放) are cut to zero by the middle of this century, temperatures will go on rising for decades. So other measures are needed to protect people against extreme heat.
Governments can set up early warning systems to alarm health workers, shut down schools and stop outdoor activities. They can provide the public with forecasts of coming heatwaves, explanations of the dangers and detailed advice on what to do. Improved facilities can also help. This includes providing shaded areas, water parks and “misting stations” to help people cool down, and get to airconditioned “cooling centers” where they can find shelter and sleep if necessary.
The world is, undoubtedly, facing a big health challenge right now. There is no excuse for ignoring heatwaves and their effects.
12. What shocks us most about the heatwave in the Pacific Northwest
A. It has stricken a usually mild area.
B. It hits central Europe except Siberia.
C. Many temperature records are being broken.
D. Many records are being broken by large margins.
13. What can we learn from the report in the Lancer
A. People have paid much attention to heatwaves.
B. Heat doesn’t cause widespread damage to belongings.
C. The damage of heat is as obvious as storms and floods.
D. About 300,000 middle-aged people died from extreme heat.
14. What can governments do to protect people against heatwaves
A. Provide some cool places. B. Build nursing homes.
C. Organize outdoor activities. D. Shelter the homeless.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Improving Public Facilities B. Taking Heatwaves Seriously
C. Preventing Natural Disasters D. Reducing Greenhouse-gas Emission
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了极端高温天气带来的影响，并就如何应对极端高温天气提出建议。
12题详解】
细节理解题。由文第一段第一、二句“What is the most shocking about the heatwave affecting the Pacific Northwest is not that it has hit a usually mild area, nor that so many long-standing temperature records are being broken. It is that those records are being broken by such large margins (幅度).”（热浪侵袭太平洋西北部造成的最严重的影响不仅在于它对一贯被划定为温带的地区造成了冲击，也不仅在于它正在打破许多长期以来的高温记录。而在于它正在以非常大的差距打破这些记录。）可知，最令人震惊的是许多温度记录正在被大幅度打破，故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。由文第二段第三句“In 2018 about 300,000 people over the age of 65 died as a result of extreme heat, mainly in India, a 54% increase since 2000, according to a report in the Lancet, a medical journal. The report also shows that, unlike storms and floods, heat does not lead to dramatic before-and-after pictures or widespread damage to belongings.”（根据医学杂志《柳叶刀》的一份报告，2018年，约有30万65岁以上的人死于极端高温，主要在印度，自2000年以来增加了54%。报告还显示，与风暴和洪水不同，高温不会导致巨大的前后对比，也不会对财物造成大范围的破坏。）可知，高温不会对物品造成大面积损坏，故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。由文第四段后部分“Improved facilities can also help. This includes providing shaded areas, water parks and “misting stations” to help people cool down, and get to airconditioned “cooling centers” where they can find shelter and sleep if necessary.”（改善设施也会有所帮助。这包括提供阴凉区、水上公园和“喷雾站”，帮助人们降温，并在必要时前往有空调“冷却中心”，在那里他们可以找到住所并睡觉。）可知，政府可以为人们提供降温设施和场地，故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文并结合末段末句“The world is, undoubtedly, facing a big health challenge right now. There is no excuse for ignoring heatwaves and their effects.”（毫无疑问，世界现在正面临着巨大的健康挑战。没有理由忽视热浪及其影响。）可知，本文介绍了极端高温天气带来的影响并呼吁人们重视热浪问题，所以“重视热浪”是文章最佳标题，故选B项。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Emma was very excited Today was the championship baseball game! The winners would all get trophies(奖杯) and be the number one players in the town. Emma decided to bring home a trophy to put on her shelf. She had never won a trophy before.
She put on her red uniform and pulled her hair through the back of her baseball cap. She picked up her gloves and looked in the mirror. “I hope I get a hit today,” she said to herself.
On the way to the field Emma felt nervous.
“Are you feeling OK, Emma ” her mother asked.
“I really don’t want to strike out(三击不中出局),” Emma said.
“Just keep your eye on the ball and don’t feel afraid. You can do it,” Emma’s mother said.
Emma was a great hitter in practice, but she had never hit a ball during a game. She always struck out.
When the game started, Emma cheered loudly for her friends. She caught a fly ball in the Outfield, and everyone cheered for her. Emma struck out when it was her turn to hit the ball, but her team was doing well.
The game was tied(平局), and it was her team’s last chance to score. The team’s coach encouraged, “Believe in yourselves, and you are the best.” Frankie was up first, and he hit the ball hard to get on base(垒). Next up was Henry, but he struck out. Kara hit the ball, but she was tagged out at first base. Frankie was able to run to third. That meant he could score and win the game if the next batter(击球手) got a good hit. Emma was the team’s last hope.

【答案】One possible version:
Emma stepped up to the base. She closed her eyes and thought the whole team’s hope of winning the game was in her hands. She swung hard at the first pitch, but missed. She was sweating with nervousness. “Keep your eye on the ball, Emma!” her mother called loudly from the stands. Emma confidently nodded and stepped back into the batter’s box. This time she kept her eyes wide open as she swung the bat. Perfect! Emma had hit the ball!
Emma’s team won! She hugged her teammates, and then she went to her mother’s side, kissed her on the cheek and whispered, “Thank you, Mum, for your encouragement.” “Great game, everyone!” said Emma’s coach later. “Here are your trophies.” Emma held her shiny trophy high in the air. She felt very proud of her whole team. Best of all, she couldn’t wait to put the new trophy on her shelf at home.

It was raining like nothing before when Ehdaa Bujeldain an English teacher living with her family in the mountains of Derna in eastern Libya , heard a loud noise that sounded like an explosion (爆炸). Later they learned that a dam (大坝) in Derna had broken down under the pressure of running water. For the next four days, they had no power or internet, and it was only recently that they started to fully understand of the damage caused by the floods.
“Half of the city has been destroyed. My mom’s relatives, my friends, my coworkers ——they are all gone. Now we, the survivors, are just ghost s in shells,” says Bujeldain, whose sadness can be easily told from her blank expression.
Five days have passed since the terrible flooding in Derna, Libya’s Red Crescent organization estimated that 11,300 people have died, while the city’s mayor believes the number of deaths could be as high as 20,000.
Derna is a coastal city with a seasonal river called the Wadi Derna. Despite the abnormally heavy rain, people living near the river had little warning before the floodwaters came rushing in on that terrible morning. United Nations aid chief Martin Griffiths described the scale of the flood as “appalling” (令人惊骇的) and blamed the flood partly on sudden climate change.
Now international aid teams are arriving in Derna, but they face challenges due to damaged roads, lack of access to power, water, and fuel. Tarhoni, doctor of the rescue team, warns that the most difficult weeks lie ahead. “One disaster is done and there is another to come,” he says. “The thousands and thousands of people who lost everything these people now need comfort, they need company, they need psychological support.”
4. What do we know about Bujeldain’s family from paragraph 1
A. The explosion they heard led to the destruction of the dam.
B. Bujeldain saved her family from the floods with her bravery.
C. Bujeldain immediately recognized the outbreak of the floods.
D. For several days, they didn’t fully realize the seriousness of the floods.
5. What does Bujeldain mean by saying they are “just ghosts in shells” in paragraph 2
A. They run out of energy and are very tired.
B. They feel lucky as they are safe and sound.
C. They are completely saddened and shocked.
D. They are sorry for the loss of their homeland.
6. According to the passage, which of the following does NOT contribute to the loss of lives
A. The absence of warning. B. The extraordinary rainfall.
C. Unexpected climate change. D. The damage to environment.
7. What might be the main focus of international aid efforts in Derna
A. Addressing mental problems.
B. Providing immediate medical care.
C. Conducting climate change research.
D. Rebuilding roads and access to resources.
C
Tourists visiting La Gomera and EI Hierro in the Canary-Islands can often hear locals communicating over long distances by whistling — not a tune (曲调), but the Spanish language. The locals are communicating in Silbo, a whistled Spanish language.
Whistled languages are almost developed in rough, mountainous regions or in thick forest. That’s because whistled speech carries much farther than ordinary speech or shouting. As a result, whistled speech can be understood up to 10 times as far away as ordinary shouting. That lets people communicate even when they cannot easily approach close enough to shout. On La Gomera, for example, a few traditional shepherds (牧羊人) still whistle to one another across mountain valleys that could take hours to cross.
Whistled languages work because many of the key element s of speech can be produced in a whistle, says Meyer. We distinguish one speech sound from another by small differences in their sound frequency patterns. A long “e”, for example, is formed higher in the mouth than along “o”, giving it a higher sound.
To language scientists, such languages are more than just a curiosity. By studying whistled languages, they hope to learn about how our brains get meaning from the complex sound patterns of speech. Whisting may even provide a chance to know one of the most dramatic jump forward in human evolution (进化); the origin of language itself.
Despite their interest to both language experts and casual observers, whistled languages are disappearing rapidly all over the world, and some, such as the whistled form of the Tepehua language in Mexico, have disappeared. “Now you still find whistled speech only in places that are very, very remote, that have had less contact with modernity and less access to roads,” Meyer says.
Fortunately, there is still hope. UNESCO, the UN cultural organization, has listed two whistled languages, Silbo, and a whistled Turkish, as the world’s cultural heritage. Such attention can lead to conservation efforts.
8. What led to the development of whistled languages
A. Geographic inaccessibility. B. Rapid increase in tourism.
C. Greater information capacity. D. Interest of language experts.
9. Why are a long “e” and a long “o” mentioned in Paragraph 3
A. To show what key elements speech has.
B. To explain the differences between speech sound frequency patterns.
C. To prove the popularity of whistled language in the world.
D. To show the disadvantages of whistled languages.
10. What might be a reason for the disappearance of whistled languages according to Meyer
A. Difficulty of understanding. B. Lack of attention.
C. Expansion of other cultures. D. Modernization.
11. What does the underlined word “conservation” mean in the last paragraph
A. Impression. B. Experiment. C. Protection. D. Graduation.
D
What is the most shocking about the heatwave affecting the Pacific Northwest is not that it has hit a usually mild area, nor that so many long-standing temperature records are being broken. It is that those records are being broken by such large margins (幅度). In Portland, Oregon, temperature reached 46.6℃(116°F) — making it one of several cities in the region where former records have been beaten by a full 5℃(9°F). At the same time, heatwaves are also hitting central Europe and even Siberia.
Heatwaves may become headlines, but less attention is paid to them. In 2018 about 300,000 people over the age of 65 died as a result of extreme heat, mainly in India, a 54% increase since 2000, according to a report in the Lancet, a medical journal. The report also shows that, unlike storms and floods, heat does not lead to dramatic before-and-after pictures or widespread damage to belongings. It is a silent killer. As many as 70,000 people died due to a heatwave in Europe in 2003.
Heat also kills by worsening health conditions such as heart problems, so not all the deaths it causes may be directly attributed (归因) to it. Climate change will make heatwaves more common and more extreme. Even if greenhouse-gas emissions (排放) are cut to zero by the middle of this century, temperatures will go on rising for decades. So other measures are needed to protect people against extreme heat.
Governments can set up early warning systems to alarm health workers, shut down schools and stop outdoor activities. They can provide the public with forecasts of coming heatwaves, explanations of the dangers and detailed advice on what to do. Improved facilities can also help. This includes providing shaded areas, water parks and “misting stations” to help people cool down, and get to airconditioned “cooling centers” where they can find shelter and sleep if necessary.
The world is, undoubtedly, facing a big health challenge right now. There is no excuse for ignoring heatwaves and their effects.
12. What shocks us most about the heatwave in the Pacific Northwest
A. It has stricken a usually mild area.
B. It hits central Europe except Siberia.
C. Many temperature records are being broken.
D. Many records are being broken by large margins.
13. What can we learn from the report in the Lancer
A. People have paid much attention to heatwaves.
B. Heat doesn’t cause widespread damage to belongings.
C. The damage of heat is as obvious as storms and floods.
D. About 300,000 middle-aged people died from extreme heat.
14. What can governments do to protect people against heatwaves
A. Provide some cool places. B. Build nursing homes.

15. What can be a suitable title for the text

Emma was very excited Today was the championship baseball game! The winners would all get trophies(奖杯) and be the number one players in the town. Emma decided to bring home a trophy to put on her shelf. She had never won a trophy before.
She put on her red uniform and pulled her hair through the back of her baseball cap. She picked up her gloves and looked in the mirror. “I hope I get a hit today,” she said to herself.
On the way to the field, Emma felt nervous.
“Are you feeling OK, Emma ” her mother asked.
“I really don’t want to strike out(三击不中出局)” Emma said.
“Just keep your eye on the ball and don’t feel afraid. You can do it” Emma’s mother said.
Emma was a great hitter in practice, but she had never hit a ball during a game. She always struck out.
When the game started, Emma cheered loudly for her friends. She caught a fly ball in the Outfield, and everyone cheered for her. Emma struck out when it was her turn to hit the ball, but her team was doing well.
The game was tied(平局), and it was her team’s last chance to score.

Kara hit the ball, but she was tagged out at first base. Frankie was able to run to third. That meant he could score and win the game if the next batter(击球手) got a good hit. Emma was the team’s last hope.
