A powerful earthquake hit Morocco on Friday night. The earthquake struck around 11 pm on Friday night. The USGS (US Geological Survey) says that the earthquake had a magnitude of about 6.8. But Morocco’s earthquake center recorded the earthquake as being almost twice that strong.
The quake was one of the most powerful ever recorded in Morocco. It’s also the country’s deadliest earthquake in over 60 years. So far, the earthquake is reported to have killed over 2,680 people. It has injured over 2,500 others. The earthquake was extremely dangerous because it happened at night. Marrakesh is a big city that’s popular with tourists. Many of its modern buildings seem to have survived the earthquake. But the old part of the city, called the Medina, was hit hard. The Medina has buildings that are over 1,000 years old.
Outside of Marrakesh, the earthquake caused even more damage. In the Atlas Mountains, the earthquake’s center, there are many small villages. Some villages were nearly destroyed. Many of the people in the area live in simple houses made of mud bricks. This is a traditional way of building in Morocco. But it’s not strong enough to protect against earthquakes. Many of these houses collapsed. Some of the bricks turned to sand.
Rescue workers have been working hard to save those affected by the quake. In larger cities, rescue efforts seem to be going well.
But it has taken a lot longer for help to reach far areas in the mountains. Many of these villages are difficult to get to. The earthquake caused landslides, blocking roads and making these places even more difficult to reach. In some areas, phone and electrical service were also knocked out, leaving these places completely cut off. That means that the local people in some areas far away have had to deal with the situation on their own.
But more help is coming. Some countries have offered teams of experts; others have offered emergency supplies.
29. Why was the earthquake in Morocco especially dangerous according to the text
A. It was the strongest on record. B. There were too many tourists there.
C. The buildings there were all too old. D. It happened when people were asleep.
30. What does the underlined word “collapsed” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Looked beautiful. B. Fell down. C. Lasted long. D. Stood still.
31. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A. Causes of the earthquake. B. Terrible sights after the earthquake.
C. Difficulties met in rescuing. D. Survivors’ efforts to rebuild the city.
32. Which part of a website can the text appear
A. Culture. B. News. C. Environment. D. Tourism.

Evangeline Iarossi is a softball (垒球) player from Tampa, Florida. She played with a softball league, but her community faced several problems. One of them was a lack of available fields for practices and games.
Her local league had some baseball fields, but only one softball field was available. That meant many of her practices were canceled. When the baseball teams needed room, they’d often take over the softball field, making it even harder to practice and play. Iarossi’s team would end up on a T-ball field. “A lot of girls don’t get practice, and they are dropping out,” she said. “When they couldn’t practice because they couldn’t get on the fields, they didn’t improve and finally quit because it was not fun for them anymore.”
Instead of letting others deal with the problem, Iarossi decided to send a handwritten note to the city’s leader, who was a basketball star at the University of Tampa. Her goal was to get support for the cause, but it did much more. Her note inspired the city’s government to provide the funding from an entertainment company to build more fields that are accessible to everyone.
“I said it’s not the 1800s anymore,” Iarossi commented. “Girls would like to play sports too.” It even led to an appearance on a well-known show to discuss her efforts. “I hope that all girls get to play softball, and that it’s just fair for all in sports.”
33. Why did many of the girl softball players give up halfway
A. They were afraid of getting on the fields. B. They found it hard to play softball well.
C. They were prevented by the local league. D. They lacked practice fields.
34. Who helped Iarossi solve the problem
A. The University of Tampa. B. The local community.
C. An entertainment company. D. A basketball star.
35. Which words can best describe Iarossi
A. Modest and honest. B. Helpful and responsible.
C. Quiet and intelligent. D. Friendly and humorous.
36. What is the best title for the text
A. Win Support for Girls’ Play Opportunities. B. Call for Fairness in All Sports.
C. Public Support Is the Key to Success. D. Practice Makes Perfect.
D
Teenagers have their own TV channels， websites and magazines. So what about books？
Last year one publisher， Martins， started publishing a series called Waves. We spoke to the director Julia Smith. She explained， "Teenage fiction has been published since the 1970s but publishers have never been very successful in getting teenagers to buy and read books. Now they're realizing that teenagers are just older children， but are not adults either. They are often not interested in adult fiction. For this series we are looking for new writers who write especially for teenagers.
Athene Gorr's novel was published in the series last year and is selling well. Its title is The Purple Ring. She says， "The important thing is to encourage teenagers to pick up your book. I'm a new writer. Although I've got an unusual name which people might remember， nobody knows it yet! But my book has a fantastic cover which makes people want to look inside. Then they realize what an excellent story it is!"
And what do teenagers themselves think about the series？ We talked to Sophie Clarke， aged 15. She said？ "I've read a few books in the Waves series. They say they are for 14-19 year olds and I agree with that. We're not interested in the same things as people in their twenties and thirties. I like them and I think they look really good too. The only thing is that because bookshops put them in the children section， lots of teenagers won't find them so they may not do very well. And it's a shame there's no such series as I think lots of teenagers， especially boys， might buy."
37. What can we infer from Paragraph 2？ ______
A. The Waves series are suitable for adults.
B. It is necessary to publish books aimed at teenagers.
C. Teenagers are more interested in reading nowadays.
D. Teenagers should be encouraged to read.
38. What makes The Purple Ring catch people's eye？ ______
A. Its writer.
B. Its cover.
C. Its price.
D. Its title.
39. What do we know about the Waves series？ ______
A. They have attractive covers.
B. They are about real facts.
C. They are popular with teenage boys.
D. They are wrongly placed in the children section.
40. What does the author intend to do with the passage？ ______
A. To compare different series of teenage fiction.
B. To give information about a new series of books.
C. To encourage more writers to create fictions for teenagers.
D. To explain why teenage fiction is easier to write than adult fiction.

She explained， "Teenage fiction has been published since the 1970s but publishers have never been very successful in getting teenagers to buy and read books. Now they're realizing that teenagers are just older children， but are not adults either. They are often not interested in adult fiction. For this series we are looking for new writers who write especially for teenagers.
Athene Gorr's novel was published in the series last year and is selling well. Its title is The Purple Ring. She says， "The important thing is to encourage teenagers to pick up your book. I'm a new writer. Although I've got an unusual name which people might remember， nobody knows it yet! But my book has a fantastic cover which makes people want to look inside. Then they realize what an excellent story it is!"
And what do teenagers themselves think about the series？ We talked to Sophie Clarke， aged 15. She said？ "I've read a few books in the Waves series. They say they are for 14-19 year olds and I agree with that. We're not interested in the same things as people in their twenties and thirties. I like them and I think they look really good too. The only thing is that because bookshops put them in the children section， lots of teenagers won't find them so they may not do very well. And it's a shame there's no such series as I think lots of teenagers， especially boys， might buy."
37. What can we infer from Paragraph 2？ ______
A. The Waves series are suitable for adults.
B. It is necessary to publish books aimed at teenagers.
C. Teenagers are more interested in reading nowadays.
D. Teenagers should be encouraged to read.
38. What makes The Purple Ring catch people's eye？ ______
A. Its writer.
B. Its cover.
C. Its price.
D. Its title.
39. What do we know about the Waves series？ ______
A. They have attractive covers.
B. They are about real facts.
C. They are popular with teenage boys.
D. They are wrongly placed in the children section.
40. What does the author intend to do with the passage？ ______
A. To compare different series of teenage fiction.
B. To give information about a new series of books.
C. To encourage more writers to create fictions for teenagers.
D. To explain why teenage fiction is easier to write than adult fiction.

A powerful earthquake hit Morocco on Friday night. The earthquake struck around 11 pm on Friday night. The USGS (US Geological Survey) says that the earthquake had a magnitude of about 6.8. But Morocco’s earthquake center recorded the earthquake as being almost twice that strong.
The quake was one of the most powerful ever recorded in Morocco. It’s also the country’s deadliest earthquake in over 60 years. So far, the earthquake is reported to have killed over 2,680 people. It has injured over 2,500 others. The earthquake was extremely dangerous because it happened at night. Marrakesh is a big city that’s popular with tourists. Many of its modern buildings seem to have survived the earthquake. But the old part of the city, called the Medina, was hit hard. The Medina has buildings that are over 1,000 years old.
Outside of Marrakesh, the earthquake caused even more damage. In the Atlas Mountains, the earthquake’s center, there are many small villages. Some villages were nearly destroyed. Many of the people in the area live in simple houses made of mud bricks. This is a traditional way of building in Morocco. But it’s not strong enough to protect against earthquakes. Many of these houses collapsed. Some of the bricks turned to sand.
Rescue workers have been working hard to save those affected by the quake. In larger cities, rescue efforts seem to be going well.
But it has taken a lot longer for help to reach far areas in the mountains. Many of these villages are difficult to get to. The earthquake caused landslides, blocking roads and making these places even more difficult to reach. In some areas, phone and electrical service were also knocked out, leaving these places completely cut off. That means that the local people in some areas far away have had to deal with the situation on their own.
But more help is coming. Some countries have offered teams of experts; others have offered emergency supplies.
29. Why was the earthquake in Morocco especially dangerous according to the text
A. It was the strongest on record. B. There were too many tourists there.
C. The buildings there were all too old. D. It happened when people were asleep.
30. What does the underlined word “collapsed” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Looked beautiful. B. Fell down. C. Lasted long. D. Stood still.
31. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A. Causes of the earthquake. B. Terrible sights after the earthquake.
C. Difficulties met in rescuing. D. Survivors’ efforts to rebuild the city.
32. Which part of a website can the text appear
A. Culture. B. News. C. Environment. D. Tourism.
C
Evangeline Iarossi is a softball (垒球) player from Tampa, Florida. She played with a softball league, but her community faced several problems. One of them was a lack of available fields for practices and games.
Her local league had some baseball fields, but only one softball field was available. That meant many of her practices were canceled. When the baseball teams needed room, they’d often take over the softball field, making it even harder to practice and play. Iarossi’s team would end up on a T-ball field. “A lot of girls don’t get practice, and they are dropping out,” she said. “When they couldn’t practice because they couldn’t get on the fields, they didn’t improve and finally quit because it was not fun for them anymore.”
Instead of letting others deal with the problem, Iarossi decided to send a handwritten note to the city’s leader, who was a basketball star at the University of Tampa. Her goal was to get support for the cause, but it did much more. Her note inspired the city’s government to provide the funding from an entertainment company to build more fields that are accessible to everyone.
“I said it’s not the 1800s anymore,” Iarossi commented. “Girls would like to play sports too.” It even led to an appearance on a well-known show to discuss her efforts. “I hope that all girls get to play softball, and that it’s just fair for all in sports.”
33. Why did many of the girl softball players give up halfway
A. They were afraid of getting on the fields. B. They found it hard to play softball well.
C. They were prevented by the local league. D. They lacked practice fields.
34. Who helped Iarossi solve the problem
A. The University of Tampa. B. The local community.
C. An entertainment company. D. A basketball star.
35. Which words can best describe Iarossi
A. Modest and honest. B. Helpful and responsible.
C. Quiet and intelligent. D. Friendly and humorous.
36. What is the best title for the text
A. Win Support for Girls’ Play Opportunities. B. Call for Fairness in All Sports.
C. Public Support Is the Key to Success. D. Practice Makes Perfect.

A powerful earthquake hit Morocco on Friday night. The earthquake struck around 11 pm on Friday night. The USGS (US Geological Survey) says that the earthquake had a magnitude of about 6.8. But Morocco’s earthquake center recorded the earthquake as being almost twice that strong.
The quake was one of the most powerful ever recorded in Morocco. It’s also the country’s deadliest earthquake in over 60 years. So far, the earthquake is reported to have killed over 2,680 people. It has injured over 2,500 others. The earthquake was extremely dangerous because it happened at night. Marrakesh is a big city that’s popular with tourists. Many of its modern buildings seem to have survived the earthquake. But the old part of the city, called the Medina, was hit hard. The Medina has buildings that are over 1,000 years old.
Outside of Marrakesh, the earthquake caused even more damage. In the Atlas Mountains, the earthquake’s center, there are many small villages. Some villages were nearly destroyed. Many of the people in the area live in simple houses made of mud bricks. This is a traditional way of building in Morocco. But it’s not strong enough to protect against earthquakes. Many of these houses collapsed. Some of the bricks turned to sand.
Rescue workers have been working hard to save those affected by the quake. In larger cities, rescue efforts seem to be going well.
But it has taken a lot longer for help to reach far areas in the mountains. Many of these villages are difficult to get to. The earthquake caused landslides, blocking roads and making these places even more difficult to reach. In some areas, phone and electrical service were also knocked out, leaving these places completely cut off. That means that the local people in some areas far away have had to deal with the situation on their own.
But more help is coming. Some countries have offered teams of experts; others have offered emergency supplies.
29. Why was the earthquake in Morocco especially dangerous according to the text
A It was the strongest on record. B. There were too many tourists there.
C. The buildings there were all too old. D. It happened when people were asleep.
30. What does the underlined word “collapsed” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Looked beautiful. B. Fell down. C. Lasted long. D. Stood still.
31. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A. Causes of the earthquake. B. Terrible sights after the earthquake.
C. Difficulties met in rescuing. D. Survivors’ efforts to rebuild the city.
32. Which part of a website can the text appear
A. Culture. B. News. C. Environment. D. Tourism.

Evangeline Iarossi is a softball (垒球) player from Tampa, Florida. She played with a softball league, but her community faced several problems. One of them was a lack of available fields for practices and games.
Her local league had some baseball fields, but only one softball field was available. That meant many of her practices were canceled. When the baseball teams needed room, they’d often take over the softball field, making it even harder to practice and play. Iarossi’s team would end up on a T-ball field. “A lot of girls don’t get practice, and they are dropping out,” she said. “When they couldn’t practice because they couldn’t get on the fields, they didn’t improve and finally quit because it was not fun for them anymore.”
Instead of letting others deal with the problem, Iarossi decided to send a handwritten note to the city’s leader, who was a basketball star at the University of Tampa. Her goal was to get support for the cause, but it did much more. Her note inspired the city’s government to provide the funding from an entertainment company to build more fields that are accessible to everyone.
“I said it’s not the 1800s anymore,” Iarossi commented. “Girls would like to play sports too.” It even led to an appearance on a well-known show to discuss her efforts. “I hope that all girls get to play softball, and that it’s just fair for all in sports.”
33. Why did many of the girl softball players give up halfway
A. They were afraid of getting on the fields. B. They found it hard to play softball well.
C. They were prevented by the local league. D. They lacked practice fields.
34. Who helped Iarossi solve the problem
A. The University of Tampa. B. The local community.
C. An entertainment company. D. A basketball star.
35. Which words can best describe Iarossi
A. Modest and honest. B. Helpful and responsible.
C. Quiet and intelligent. D. Friendly and humorous.
36. What is the best title for the text
A. Win Support for Girls’ Play Opportunities. B. Call for Fairness in All Sports.
C. Public Support Is the Key to Success. D. Practice Makes Perfect.

Teenagers have their own TV channels， websites and magazines. So what about books？
Last year one publisher， Martins， started publishing a series called Waves. We spoke to the director Julia Smith. She explained， "Teenage fiction has been published since the 1970s but publishers have never been very successful in getting teenagers to buy and read books. Now they're realizing that teenagers are just older children， but are not adults either. They are often not interested in adult fiction. For this series we are looking for new writers who write especially for teenagers.
Athene Gorr's novel was published in the series last year and is selling well. Its title is The Purple Ring. She says， "The important thing is to encourage teenagers to pick up your book. I'm a new writer. Although I've got an unusual name which people might remember， nobody knows it yet! But my book has a fantastic cover which makes people want to look inside. Then they realize what an excellent story it is!"
And what do teenagers themselves think about the series？ We talked to Sophie Clarke， aged 15. She said？ "I've read a few books in the Waves series. They say they are for 14-19 year olds and I agree with that. We're not interested in the same things as people in their twenties and thirties. I like them and I think they look really good too. The only thing is that because bookshops put them in the children section， lots of teenagers won't find them so they may not do very well. And it's a shame there's no such series as I think lots of teenagers， especially boys， might buy."
37. What can we infer from Paragraph 2？ ______
A. The Waves series are suitable for adults.
B. It is necessary to publish books aimed at teenagers.
C. Teenagers are more interested in reading nowadays.
D. Teenagers should be encouraged to read.
38. What makes The Purple Ring catch people's eye？ ______
A. Its writer.
B. Its cover.
C. Its price.
D. Its title.
39. What do we know about the Waves series？ ______
A. They have attractive covers.
B. They are about real facts.
C. They are popular with teenage boys.
D. They are wrongly placed in the children section.
40. What does the author intend to do with the passage？ ______
A. To compare different series of teenage fiction.
B. To give information about a new series of books.
C. To encourage more writers to create fictions for teenagers.
D. To explain why teenage fiction is easier to write than adult fiction.
【答案】37. B 38. B 39. D 40. C
