An 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 should usually be placed on a lower surface,near the ground instead of placing them on 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 outbreaks 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 wall so rescuers can find you.Use a whistle (哨子) if it 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.
1.What does the underlined word “Fragile” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Easily broken.　　　　B.Easily found.
C.Expensive. D.Heavy.
2.To reduce the injury from the earthquake,where should items made of glass be put
A.On cupboards.
B.In the bedroom.
C.On a lower surface.
D.The places where children can’t reach them.
3.During an earthquake,what are people advised to do
A.Go out of the building at once.
B.Turn off power and gas immediately.
C.Take shelter under a tree.

Wild animals seem to have escaped the Indian Ocean tsunami,adding weight to the idea that they have a “sixth sense” for disasters,experts said on Thursday.
Sri Lanka wildlife officials have said the waves that killed over 24,000 people along the Indian Ocean island’s coast seemingly missed wild beasts,with no dead animals found.
“No elephants are dead,not even a dead hare or rabbit.I think animals can sense disaster.They have a ‘sixth sense’.They know when things are happening,”H.D.Ratnayake,director of Sri Lanka’s Wildlife Department,said on Wednesday.
The waves washed floodwaters up to 3 km (2 miles) inland at Yala National Park in the southeast,Sri Lanka’s biggest wildlife reserve and home to hundreds of wild elephants.“There has been a lot of evidence about dogs barking or birds migrating before volcanic eruptions or earthquakes.But it has not been proved,” said Matthew van Lierop,an animal behaviour specialist at Johannesburg Zoo.“There have been no specific studies because you can’t really test it in a lab or field setting,” he said.Other authorities agreed with this conclusion.
“Wildlife seems to be able to pick up certain signs,especially birds.There are many reports of birds detecting coming disasters,”said Clive Walker,who has written several books on African wildlife.
Animals certainly rely on the known senses such as smell or hearing to avoid danger such as predators.The idea of an animal’s “sixth sense” is a lasting one that the evidence on Sri Lanka’s damaged coast is likely to add to.
5.What happened after the Indian Ocean tsunami
A.Many people died but wild animals survived.
B.The “six sense” of wild animals developed.
C.Wild beasts were killed or went missing.
D.The coast was found in good condition.
6.What does H.D.Ratnayake do
A.He is a zoo keeper.
B.He is a wildlife official.
C.He is a movie director.
D.He is an animal behaviour expert.
7.What is the text mainly about
A.Why animals can save themselves from natural disasters.
B.The different opinions about animals’ natural power.
C.How to protect wildlife when disasters happen.
D.The serious damage of the Indian Ocean tsunami.
8.In which section of a newspaper can we read this text
A.Travel.　　　　　　　B.Custom.
C.Culture. D.Discovery.
Ⅴ.七选五
China is one of the countries with the most serious natural disasters in the world.There are many kinds of disasters,with wide distribution,high frequency and heavy losses.In the background of global climate change,major natural disasters occur from time to time.　1　 It makes China face even much more severe and complex situations.In order to raise the awareness of disaster prevention and minimize the losses,warnings and instructions are given to the public.　2　 Let’s have a look.
Fire
When a fire breaks out,smoke threatens mostly.　3　 Roll on the ground if you find your clothes on fire.It is too dangerous to take the elevator in this situation,so it is better to use a bundle of rope and safely slide down from the balcony.Jumping off the building blindly will cause serious injuries.
Mud-rock flow
Rainstorms may cause mud-rock flow,and it’s really dangerous to stay downstream.When you try to escape from it,instead of going along the bottom of the ditch,it is much wiser to climb up the mountain horizontally and quickly.Please escape from the ditch when selecting a camping field.It’s important to check the weather when going into the mountain.
Flood
　4　 We could use a wooden bed or table to make a raft and tie it to a big tree with a safety rope.We have to prepare food and warm clothes to get through it.
Lightning strike
On cloudy and rainy days,a lightning strike may happen.　5　 Of course,you also should stay away from iron tower poles.We need to pay attention to it even when we stay at home.Close the doors,windows and cut off the power.
A.Cut off the power and shut off water sources.
B.Please don’t stand under the tree in such weather.
C.Try to find a higher place,but staying on a roof isn’t a good choice.
D.First you need to take shelter,and then find a gap under the table or bed.
E.Losses caused by natural disasters in China are continuously increasing.
F.They also play a part in popularizing the knowledge and self-rescue skills.
G.In that case,please cover your nose and your mouth with a wet towel.
Ⅵ.完形填空

Ⅳ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要告诉读者在地震发生时,应该采取什么样的安全措施。
1.A　词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“like those made of glass”可知,玻璃制品容易碎。由“like”可知,下文是对“fragile items”的举例说明,由此推知画线词的意思是“易碎的”。
2.C　细节理解题。根据第二段的“like those made of glass should usually be placed on a lower surface,near the ground instead of placing them on cupboards higher up”可知,玻璃制品应该放在低的水平面上。
3.B　细节理解题。根据第三段的“Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.”可知,地震时在室内的话应首先关闭电源和煤气。
4.C　推理判断题。根据文章的主要内容,尤其是第一段可推知,本文的主要目的是介绍地震时应采取的一些安全措施。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍为什么动物可以从自然灾害中拯救自己。
5.A　细节理解题。根据第二段可知,此次海啸中,很多人丧生了,然而动物幸免于难。故选A项。
6.B　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“H.D.Ratnayake,director of Sri Lanka’s Wildlife Department,said on Wednesday”可知,H.D.Ratnayake是一名野生动物官员,故选B项。
7.A　主旨大意题。根据第一段以及最后一段可知,全文都在围绕着“动物逃脱了海啸,是否真的有第六感”展开,所以文章主要介绍为什么动物可以从自然灾害中拯救自己。故选A项。
8.D　推理判断题。文章主要讲述了印度洋海啸目前已造成成千上万人丧生,而动物却能幸免,人们认为这得益于动物的“第六感”。由此可推断,本文可能在报纸的“发现”版面上出现。故选D项。
Ⅴ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几种重大自然灾害下的防灾自救知识。
1.E　根据上文“In the background of global climate change,major natural disasters occur from time to time.”以及下文“It makes China face even much more severe and complex situations.”可知,E项“中国自然灾害造成的损失不断增加。”承接上文有许多自然灾害,损失不断增加,引出下文面临更严峻和复杂的形势。
2.F　根据上文“In order to raise the awareness of disaster prevention and minimize the losses,warnings and instructions are given to the public.”可知,为了提高防灾意识,最大限度地减少损失,政府向公众发出警告和指示。F项“它们还在普及知识和自救技能方面发挥了作用。”与上文为并列关系。
3.G　根据上文“When a fire breaks out,smoke threatens mostly.”可知,当火灾发生时,烟雾威胁最大。G项“那样的话,请用湿毛巾捂住鼻子和嘴巴。”是火灾发生时避免烟雾威胁的措施。
4.C　结合小标题“Flood”可知,本段主要讲述洪水来临时的办法。C项“试着找一个更高的地方,但是待在屋顶上不是一个好的选择。”符合此处洪水来临时的语境。
5.B　根据上文“On cloudy and rainy days,a lightning strike may happen.”可知,在阴天和雨天,可能会发生雷击。B项“在这样的天气里,请不要站在树下。”符合此处语境,下雨天站在树下十分危险。
Ⅵ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。公交车司机突发疾病致使全车人处于危险之中,Connor和Seamus两兄弟沉着冷静地帮助学生们脱离了危险,并及时救治了司机。
1.D　根据文章的讲述可知,公交车司机突发疾病致使全车人处于危险之中,Connor和Seamus两兄弟沉着冷静地帮助学生们脱离了危险,可见这群学生是幸运的。
2.B　根据“saw their bus driver”可知,此处指乘公交车。
3.C　根据空后“a medical emergency and hit the floor heavily”可知,司机突发疾病,重摔在地。suffer遭受(坏事),患(疾病),符合语境。
4.A　head for前往;keep off挡住;separate from与……分开;get through完成,熬过。根据语境及下文“I 　　　and pressed on the brake...”可知,司机摔倒在地,公交车朝着沟渠开去。
5.C　根据下文“I 　　　and pressed on the brake and told my little brother to call 911”可知,Connor踩刹车,让弟弟拨打911,所以此处指他立即就知道该怎么做。
6.B　根据语境及“pressed on the brake”可知,Connor原本是坐在公交车上,应是起身去踩刹车。
7.A　根据“onto the brake”和常识可知,要用脚踩刹车。
8.D　结合语境及“the other students to get off the bus”可知,有人打电话报警之后,Seamus继续指挥同学下车。
9.A　根据语境可知,在突发事件中应是让同学们迅速下车,保证安全。
10.C　根据“comfort him”及语境可知,应是拥抱哭泣的学生,安慰他。
11.B　根据下一句“Using a defibrillator,they 　　　to get the driver’s heart going again.”可知,此处指Connor和另一个学生开始给Arthur做心肺复苏。
12.D　上文提到有人报了警,此处指警察赶到现场。
13.B　根据语境及下一句“Then he was sent to hospital at once.”可知,他们用除颤器成功让司机恢复心跳,然后司机被送往医院。
14.A　结合上文内容及语境可知,两兄弟因救人的行为而受到表扬。
15.C　根据“If not for them”和两兄弟的指挥和救治很及时可知,如果不是他们及时地联系警察,警察的救援可能会来得更迟。

Dear Peter,
I’m grateful because you’re concerned about the flood in China.And I am writing to tell you what we do while facing disasters.
As we all know,China is a vast country where natural disasters happen frequently.Whenever a disaster happens,the Chinese government will take many measures to save people and reduce losses.Firstly,rescuers as well as rescue materials will be sent to the disaster area.Secondly,soldiers and doctors will be organised to help rescue the people in the disaster area right after the disaster happens,and many medical rescue materials will be sent there,which will absolutely contribute a lot to the rescue work.Besides,various companies and people from all over the country will donate money and materials voluntarily to provide some help.
That is how we face natural disasters as a big family.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
