Most of us know about hurricanes, droughts, and floods. But from time to time, nature delivers a weather event that is really unusual.
One day in 2005, people in a small town in Serbia saw an unusual sight. It was raining frogs! Without any warning, they found their streets filling with the little jumping creatures. “There were thousands of them,” one person told a local newspaper. “I thought perhaps a plane carrying frogs had exploded (爆炸),” said another. Scientists believe a tornado passed over a lake and sucked (吸) up the frogs. It then dropped them on the town, far away. Surprisingly, many survived the fall to the ground.
As if tornadoes aren’t dangerous enough, some can actually be made of fire. When a wildfire reaches very high temperatures, it causes the air to heat up and then rise. Cooler air moves quickly to replace the hot air. This create s strong winds, which suck up the fire. When this happens — like it did in 2014, in Denver, United States-a fire tornado is created. A tornado like this can become 15meters wide and grow as tall as a 40-store y building. It is one of nature’s most frightening creations.
In 1942, hundreds of thousand-year-old skeletons (骨架) were found under the ice of Lake Roopkund in the Himalayas. Many had holes in their skulls-but they weren’t hurt in any other way. For years, the cause of their deaths was a mystery. Today, scientists think they were killed by giant hailstones. Hailstones are balls of ice that form when raindrops turn into ice. The ice pieces increase in size until the wind cannot hold them up. This results in hailstones falling to the ground, often at speeds of over 160 kilometers an hour. For the unlucky people at Lake Roopkund, there was nowhere to run. Sadly, they were all killed that day.
4. Why did the frogs appear in Serbia one day in 2005
A. A large flood washed the frogs down. B. The frogs were brought by heavy rains.
C. A plane carrying the frogs had exploded. D. The frogs were dropped by a strong wind.
5. What does the underlined word “this” refer to in paragraph 3
A. Hot air rises from the fire. B. Strong winds suck up the fire.
C. Cooler air removes the hot air. D. Wildfires reach high temperatures.
6. What can we know about the skeletons at Lake Roopkund
A. They were turned into ice balls. B. They had no signs of injury.
C. They showed the force of nature. D. They were hundreds of years old.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. When Strange Weather Strikes B. Protect Ourselves In Disasters
C. The Great Power of Nature D. What Causes Extreme Weather
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要介绍了一些不同寻常的天气事件。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Scientists believe a tornado passed over a lake and sucked (吸) up the frogs. It then dropped them on the town, far away.(科学家们认为，龙卷风经过一个湖泊，把青蛙吸了上去。然后，它把它们扔到了遥远的小镇上)”可知，青蛙被强风吹落到遥远的小镇上，故选D。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“This create s strong winds, which suck up the fire. When this happens-like it did in 2014, in Denver, United States-a fire tornado is created.(这就产生了强风，把火吸走。当这种情况发生时——就像2014年在美国丹佛发生的那样——就会产生火灾龙卷风)”可知，this指代上文提到的“强风把火吸走”，故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Many had holes in their skulls-but they weren’t hurt in any other way.(许多骷髅的头骨上有洞，但他们没有受到其他任何伤害)”和“Today, scientists think they were killed by giant hailstones.(如今，科学家们认为它们是被巨大的冰雹砸死的)”可知，骷髅头骨上的洞是被冰雹砸的，所以这些骷髅展现出了大自然的力量，故选C。
【7题详解】

Guangzhou has long been famous for various kinds of flowers and local people have developed their enthusiasm for flowers since the time of Nanyue King in the Western Han Dynasty, which was founded over 2,000 years ago.
According to historical records, in the Western Han Dynasty, blooming flowers were seen everywhere in ancient Guangzhou, also known as Canton. Many people, whether men or women, wore flowers as decorations (装饰). There were even more varieties of flowers and plants grow n in the royal garden owned by Zhao Tuo, the founder of Nanyue Kingdom.
During the Tang and Song dynasties, Huadi, the land of flowers in Chinese, located in present-day Fangcun area of Guangzhou, was where Datong Port (港口), a major harbor for foreign trade, lay. Many businessmen from different places brought various flower seeds to the port by sea, turning a large wetland into flower fields. Besides, Cantonese farmers also grew flowers on the farmlands of thirty-three villages located south of the Pearl River.
The flower trade also contributed to the boom (繁荣) of Canton, which was the starting point of the ancient Maritime Silk Road (海上丝绸之路). As early as the Western Han Dynasty, people of Lingnan region had sailed to Sri Lanka. In the Tang and Song dynasties, a shipping route of over 14,000 kilometers was established, allowing people to travel to as far as the Persian Gulf. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, several ocean-crossing routes had connected Canton with many other parts of the world. In the period of Emperor Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, Canton was served as the only port open for foreign trade.
Starting off from the Lingnan region, all kinds of flowers found their way to the West, including camellia and Chinese rose, which were developed into more varieties in only 300 years.
The ancient Maritime Silk Road played a key role in supporting the selling of locally-grown flowers of the Lingnan region to other countries. It also brought special foreign flowers from countries and regions along the route to Canton, which promoted the city’s fame for giving people excellent views of blossoms of flowers in all seasons.
8. What’s the function of paragraph 2
A To introduce the topic. B. To make a comparison.
C. To raise readers’ interest. D. To support the content above.

B. Emperor Qianlong paid special attention to Canton’s development.
C. Canton developed into the starting point of the long world trade route.
D. Trade with foreigners decreased to a large degree in the Qing Dynasty.
11. What’s the main idea of the text

Most of us know about hurricanes, droughts, and floods. But from time to time, nature delivers a weather event that is really unusual.
One day in 2005, people in a small town in Serbia saw an unusual sight. It was raining frogs! Without any warning, they found their streets filling with the little jumping creatures. “There were thousands of them,” one person told a local newspaper. “I thought perhaps a plane carrying frogs had exploded (爆炸),” said another. Scientists believe a tornado passed over a lake and sucked (吸) up the frogs. It then dropped them on the town, far away. Surprisingly, many survived the fall to the ground.
As if tornadoes aren’t dangerous enough, some can actually be made of fire. When a wildfire reaches very high temperatures, it causes the air to heat up and then rise. Cooler air moves quickly to replace the hot air. This create s strong winds, which suck up the fire. When this happens — like it did in 2014, in Denver, United States-a fire tornado is created. A tornado like this can become 15meters wide and grow as tall as a 40-store y building. It is one of nature’s most frightening creations.
In 1942, hundreds of thousand-year-old skeletons (骨架) were found under the ice of Lake Roopkund in the Himalayas. Many had holes in their skulls-but they weren’t hurt in any other way. For years, the cause of their deaths was a mystery. Today, scientists think they were killed by giant hailstones. Hailstones are balls of ice that form when raindrops turn into ice. The ice pieces increase in size until the wind cannot hold them up. This results in hailstones falling to the ground, often at speeds of over 160 kilometers an hour. For the unlucky people at Lake Roopkund, there was nowhere to run. Sadly, they were all killed that day.
4. Why did the frogs appear in Serbia one day in 2005
A. A large flood washed the frogs down. B. The frogs were brought by heavy rains.
C. A plane carrying the frogs had exploded. D. The frogs were dropped by a strong wind.

C. Cooler air removes the hot air. D. Wildfires reach high temperatures.
6. What can we know about the skeletons at Lake Roopkund
A. They were turned into ice balls. B. They had no signs of injury.
C. They showed the force of nature. D. They were hundreds of years old.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. When Strange Weather Strikes B. Protect Ourselves In Disasters
C. The Great Power of Nature D. What Causes Extreme Weather
C
Guangzhou has long been famous for various kinds of flowers and local people have developed their enthusiasm for flowers since the time of Nanyue King in the Western Han Dynasty, which was founded over 2,000 years ago.
According to historical records, in the Western Han Dynasty, blooming flowers were seen everywhere in ancient Guangzhou, also known as Canton. Many people, whether men or women, wore flowers as decorations (装饰). There were even more varieties of flowers and plants grow n in the royal garden owned by Zhao Tuo, the founder of Nanyue Kingdom.
During the Tang and Song dynasties, Huadi, the land of flowers in Chinese, located in present-day Fangcun area of Guangzhou, was where Datong Port (港口), a major harbor for foreign trade, lay. Many businessmen from different places brought various flower seeds to the port by sea, turning a large wetland into flower fields. Besides, Cantonese farmers also grew flowers on the farmlands of thirty-three villages located south of the Pearl River.
The flower trade also contributed to the boom (繁荣) of Canton, which was the starting point of the ancient Maritime Silk Road (海上丝绸之路). As early as the Western Han Dynasty, people of Lingnan region had sailed to Sri Lanka. In the Tang and Song dynasties, a shipping route of over 14,000 kilometers was established, allowing people to travel to as far as the Persian Gulf. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, several ocean-crossing routes had connected Canton with many other parts of the world. In the period of Emperor Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, Canton was served as the only port open for foreign trade.
Starting off from the Lingnan region, all kinds of flowers found their way to the West, including camellia and Chinese rose, which were developed into more varieties in only 300 years.
The ancient Maritime Silk Road played a key role in supporting the selling of locally-grown flowers of the Lingnan region to other countries. It also brought special foreign flowers from countries and regions along the route to Canton, which promoted the city’s fame for giving people excellent views of blossoms of flowers in all seasons.
8. What’s the function of paragraph 2
A. To introduce the topic. B. To make a comparison.
C. To raise readers’ interest. D. To support the content above.
9. What was Huadi known for during the Tang and Song dynasties
A. Being a major harbor for foreign trade within China.
B. Developing new varieties of flowers in only 300 years.
C. Growing various flower seeds brought by businessmen.
D. Serving as the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road.
10. What can be inferred from paragraph 4
A. The ancient Maritime Silk Road led to the flower trade in Canton.
B. Emperor Qianlong paid special attention to Canton’s development.
C. Canton developed into the starting point of the long world trade route.
D. Trade with foreigners decreased to a large degree in the Qing Dynasty.
11. What’s the main idea of the text
A Huadi had an important effect on the development of Canton.

One year after WildAid started its new program to protect ocean wildlife in China, Chinese world-famous pianist Lang Lang has joined the latest public campaign (运动), “Play Your Part in the Oceans Symphony” on Friday.
The campaign video public service announcement (PSA) impressed the public with Lang Lang playing his song “Stay”, greatly calling attention to the beauty and importance of protecting the marine life in China’s waters such as whale sharks, sea turtles, dolphins and spotted seals.
A new series of messages calls on the public to help protect marine biodiversity (生物多样性) by supporting marine protected areas (MPAs) and the protection of ocean wildlife.

The report finds that more than 80% of the survey takers believe that MPAs are very important, but their understanding of the functions of MPAs is low. More than half do not know the term “marine biodiversity” and have not received enough information about marine protection.
“Play Your Part in the Oceans Symphony” campaign PSA and billboards will be given out at outdoor places across China, reaching millions of viewers.
