三、阅读理解
A volcanic eruption in Iceland has sent ash across northern Europe.Airlines have stopped or changed the flights across the Atlantic Ocean,leaving hundreds of passengers stuck in airports.
Grimsvom is one of the largest and most active volcanoes in Europe.What makes Grimsvom different is that it lies under a huge glacier(冰川) of ice up to 12 metres thick.The hot volcano heats up the ice above it,which then forms a layer(层) of water between the glacier and the volcano.This layer of water puts pressure on the volcano,keeping it stable.As the water flows out from under the glacier,the pressure lifts.The lava(岩浆) from the volcano then comes up to the surface.This is exactly what happened today.
Now,airlines have to make changes to their flights so as not to fly through the clouds of volcanic ash.According to one of Europe’s biggest airlines,airplanes cannot go under the cloud or over it.Going through the cloud can result in ash getting stuck in the airplane’s engines,causing damage to the plane.
The eruption has also caused problems for animals in Iceland.The volcano left ash and sharp,glass-like rocks all over the countryside.Farmers are keeping their animals inside to stop them from eating ash-covered grass or the sharp objects.

A.It is below ice.
B.It lies under the sea.

A good afterschool programme can turn free hours after school into productive learning time. 1 Here are four things a good afterschool programme can do for those kids.
Develop social skills.
In an afterschool programme,students have a chance to meet new people.And with more time to interact(互动) freely,they are able to practise and experiment with social skills. 2
Provide academic(学业的) support.
Many afterschool programmes offer homework help.Homework can often cause friction(不和) between kids with learning and attention problems and their parents. 3
Besides,personalised help from afterschool programme teachers allows students to learn a lesson they may have not understood during the day.
4
Some afterschool programmes offer classes in areas like science or computers.In these classes,there aren’t tests and students may work together in groups.For kids with learning and attention problems,these classes can be relaxing,fun and meaningful.Programmes may also offer arts choices like painting and music,which can help kids find new interests.
Build confidence(信心).
For kids with learning and attention problems,an afterschool programme may allow more room for mistakes than school does.The stakes(赌注) may not feel as high. 5 This,in turn,can lead to higher confidence.
A.Encourage teamwork.
B.Make learning more fun.
C.Students have a chance to find out what they are good at.
D.They are allowed to fail and then learn from their failures.
E.As a result,they may feel freer to try new things and take more risks.
F.That can be very helpful for kids with learning and attention problems.
G.So getting it done during the programme can make everyone’s evening more pleasant.

Natural disasters have hit Asia hard in recent years,taking hundreds of thousands of lives.But while these tragedies have destroyed homes and lives,they have also created heroes.
Muelmar Magallanes.As the heavy rain was destroying homes and villagers in Manila,the 18-year-old worker jumped into action.Muelmar swam through the floods and pulled 30 of his neighbours to safety.After pushing a mother and baby to the shore on a small boat,the tired hero was lost in the water,and his body was discovered the next day.“He gave his life for my baby,”said Menchie Penalosa,the child’s mother.“I will never forget him.”
Tilly Smith.You never know when those lessons learned in geography class will be put to good use.For Smith,just 10 years old at the time,being able to recognise the warning signs of a tsunami,saved about 100 lives at a holiday centre in Thailand.The English schoolgirl was walking on a beach in Phuket when she noticed the water was coming in,but it wasn’t going out again.A tsunami,she realised,was just minutes away.Her father told everyone to leave the beach.The beach was one of the few in Phuket where no one was killed or seriously injured.

三、阅读理解
The earthquake is one of the most common natural disasters.It may cause great damage.So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members.
Fragile items like those made of glass are easily broken and should usually be placed on a lower surface,near the ground instead of being placed on the cupboards higher up.Never place them near your bed,sofas and other furniture where you would be sitting or lying down.When there is a strong movement,these pieces will fall on the floor directly and not on you.
There is a strong chance of short circuits(短路) and fire during an earthquake.Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.
During an earthquake,lie beneath an object that is not easily damaged.Do not go near objects that could directly fall on you.Never use the elevator to go down.Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside.Research has shown that most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go out.Use the staircases at all times.
If you are outdoors,do not take shelter under a tree,streetlights,electric poles or tall buildings.If you are driving,stop your car and stay in a safe place.Do not park your car under a tree or any tall object.
If trapped in debris(瓦砾堆),cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing.Tap on a pipe or the wall so that rescuers can find you.Use a whistle if one is available.Never shout for help.Shouting can cause you to breathe in dangerous amounts of dust.Do not light a match because you may burn yourself.Do not move about or kick up dust.

A.the damage caused by earthquakes

三、阅读理解
The City of Christchurch,New Zealand was struck by a 7.1-magnitude earthquake on the early morning of Saturday,September 4,2010.
No tsunami alert was reported.The country’s army troops were on standby to assist victims and disaster recovery operation.New Zealand’s Prime flew to the affected area to inspect and assess the situation of the damaged city.He said that the full assessment of the damage would possibly take months to know the severity of damage.Based from his assessment on what he saw in the area,it could cost at least 2 billion New Zealand dollars for reconstruction.
“An absolute miracle that no one died,”the Prime Minister said.Two were seriously injured from this quake and thousands of local residents were awakened after being shaken at 4:35 a.m.of that Saturday.
There were people trapped inside the damaged buildings but fortunately none were reported dead from the rubble(碎石) of the damaged buildings.
“We’re all feeling scared—we’ve just had some significant aftershocks,” a survivor told a TV reporter.“Tonight we’re just people in the face of a massive natural disaster,trying to help each other and we’re grateful we haven’t lost a life.”
GNS Science reported 29 aftershocks within the 14 hours after the quake,with strength from magnitude 3.7 to 5.4.
New Zealand is no stranger to earthquakes.The country experiences more than 14,000 earthquakes a year—but only about 150 are felt by people.
“Many buildings here were built with earthquake protection measures.However,in most cities in developing countries,people build how they want to and there’re no building controls to force them to build to a higher standard that’s safe,”an architecture professor at Victoria University of Wellington said.
