(2025·重庆高一上期末)
Scientists say they’ve discovered an earthquake-like event that can happen during a hurricane or other storms.Researchers called it a “stormquake” after studying events caused by earthquakes on the seafloor during such storms.
Strong energy from hurricanes and serious storms can create very large waves in the ocean.“These waves then interact in some places with solid earth under the sea to cause intense seismic(地震的) source activity，” said the leader researcher Fan，a professor at Florida State University.“The exciting part is that seismic sources caused by hurricanes can last for hours or even days.”
The researchers found evidence(证据) of more than 10,000 stormquakes in coastal areas of the U．S.and Canada，which have happened around seafloors containing flat land and at lower depths.But it was not known until recently that such events even existed.This is mainly because scientists studying earthquakes have generally considered ocean-caused seismic waves as “background noise”．
The research found major U．S.hurricanes had produced a lot of stormquakes.One example was Hurricane Bill in 2009 in the Atlantic Ocean，causing about 300 stormquakes as it moved north.But no such activity was recorded in areas along the U．S.East Coast.The team noted that even Hurricane Sandy，one of the biggest storms in U．S.history，did not cause a single stormquake.Fan says this suggests that stormquakes are strongly influenced by the physical shape of the seafloor’s surface and seafloor conditions.
Fan added that there are still “lots of unknowns” about stormquakes.But he said discovering them “suggests we are reaching a new level of understanding seismic waves”．He hopes the discovery will lead to improved study methods for hurricanes，which in the past were mainly observed from satellites in the sky.“Now we are able to understand it—or at least track part of its route—through the solid earth as well，” he said.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种类似地震的自然现象——“风暴地震”，阐述了其形成过程、特点和影响其形成的条件，这一发现有助于改进飓风研究方法。
1．What is the characteristic of a stormquake according to this passage
A．Being seasonal. B．Being unexpected.
C．Being long-lasting. D．Being global.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The exciting part is that seismic sources caused by hurricanes can last for hours or even days.”可知，风暴地震的显著特征是持续时间长。故选C。
2．Why were stormquakes unknown to science before
A．Because they were ignored by scientists.
B．Because they were hardly seen on the Earth.
C．Because they were similar to common earthquakes.
D．Because they generally happened in deep seafloors.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“This is mainly because scientists studying earthquakes have generally considered ocean-caused seismic waves as ‘background noise’．”可知，风暴地震不为人知，是因为它们曾经被科学家当成“背景噪声”忽视了。故选A。
3．What message is conveyed in paragraph 4
A．All hurricanes don’t lead to stormquakes.
B．Stormquakes happen more along the East Coast.
C．Stormquakes influence the seafloor’s conditions.
D．Stronger hurricanes produce bigger stormquakes.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The team noted that even Hurricane Sandy，one of the biggest storms in U．S.history，did not cause a single stormquake.”可推知，并不是所有的飓风都会引来风暴地震。故选A。
4．What is the significance of the discovery
A．Helping to predict an earthquake more exactly.
B．Offering a different view on hurricane research.
C．Suggesting the richness of the seismic wave field.
D．Preventing possible hurricanes and lessening losses.

B(此篇精读)
Search and rescue teams are often accompanied by man’s best friend.A dog’s superior sense of smell can be of importance to finding survivors buried under fallen buildings.But now a new animal is being trained to help search and rescue teams after an earthquake hits，and it’s the rat.
These rescue rats are being trained by Dr.Donna Kean，a researcher from Glasgow，Scotland who has been working with rats for years.Kean explained why she and her colleagues at the nonprofit APOPO train rats instead of dogs.“The rats have a comparable sense of smell，and they’re just as trainable as dogs，” she said.
“Their size is useful because they will be able to move through different environments that dogs just wouldn’t be able to.”
At the moment，the rats are wearing homemade prototype backpacks that contain microphones，video equipment，and location trackers，and then scientists are sending these rats into mock debris(模拟的废墟)．Rats would be able to get into small spaces to get to victims(受害者) buried in the ruins.“We have not been in a real situation yet；we have got a mock debris site.When we track the backpack，we will be able to hear from where the rat is inside the debris，” Kean said.“We have the potential to speak to victims through the rat.”
Researchers train them on a basic series of behaviour.Training starts off in a really basic environment：a small and empty room.Then they gradually expand and increase the complexity(复杂性) in order to make it like real life.
They can start adding in debris and making the training area look more like an actual collapsed building site.
The training just started，and researchers still have to run training trials(试验) outside the research environment.
They are working with a search and rescue group called GEA，who are based in Turkey，a country with frequent earthquakes and hoping that by next year they’ll be able to take the rats to Turkey for trials.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。来自苏格兰的研究人员正在训练一批精锐的“搜救部队”，以帮助人们寻找地震中的受难者，这些搜救队成员就是我们相当熟悉的动物——老鼠，当地震发生后，它们将会穿上装有麦克风的小背包，深入地震废墟中的狭小空间，帮助受困者与外界进行交流。
5．What advantage do rats have over dogs in the rescue work
A．They are easier to train.
B．They have a better sense of smell.
C．They are more flexible with a smaller size.
D．They adapt to new environments more quickly.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段“Their size is useful because they will be able to move through different environments that dogs just wouldn’t be able to.”可知，在救援工作中，老鼠的优势是体形更小，身体更灵活。故选C。
6．What does the underlined word “comparable” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Impressive. B．Suitable.
C．Unique. D．Similar.
答案 D
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“they’re just as trainable as dogs”可知，Kean认为老鼠和狗一样，是可以被训练的，这是因为老鼠的嗅觉能力与狗类似。故画线词意思是“相似的”。故选D。
7．What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A．The process of training the rats.
B．The difficulty of conducting experiments.
C．The rats’ behaviour in real collapsed sites.
D．The importance of the research environment.
答案 A
解析 段落大意题。根据第四段中的“At the moment，the rats are wearing homemade prototype backpacks...and then scientists are sending these rats into mock debris(模拟的废墟)．Rats would be able to get into small spaces to get to victims(受害者) buried in the ruins.”以及Kean说的话可知，本段主要是关于训练老鼠的过程。故选A。
8．What will scientists plan to do next
A．Use rats for rescue work in large numbers.
B．Send rats to Turkey for field experiments.
C．Carry out further study on disaster prevention.
D．Develop the tracking technology to assist GEA.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据最后一段“They are working with a search and rescue group called GEA，who are based in Turkey，a country with frequent earthquakes and hoping that by next year they’ll be able to take the rats to Turkey for trials.”可知，科学家们下一步计划把老鼠送到土耳其进行现场试验。故选B。
[词汇积累] 1．accompany(派)＝ac＋company v．陪伴；伴随 2．train 熟义：n.火车 生义(文义)：v.训练 3．nonprofit(派)＝non＋profit adj.非营利的 [句式分析] When we track the backpack，we will be able to hear from where the rat is inside the debris. 分析：此句为复合句。when引导时间状语从句，where the rat is inside the debris为介词from后的宾语从句。 翻译：当我们追踪背包时，我们将能够听到老鼠在废墟中的位置。

A
(2025·重庆高一上期末)
Scientists say they’ve discovered an earthquake-like event that can happen during a hurricane or other storms.Researchers called it a “stormquake” after studying events caused by earthquakes on the seafloor during such storms.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种类似地震的自然现象——“风暴地震”，阐述了其形成过程、特点和影响其形成的条件，这一发现有助于改进飓风研究方法。
Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
Strong energy from hurricanes and serious storms can create very large waves in the ocean.“These waves then interact in some places with solid earth under the sea to cause intense seismic(地震的) source activity，” said the leader researcher Fan，a professor at Florida State University.“The exciting part is that seismic sources caused by hurricanes can last for hours or even days.”
The researchers found evidence(证据) of more than 10,000 stormquakes in coastal areas of the U.S.and Canada，which have happened around seafloors containing flat land and at lower depths.But it was not known until recently that such events even existed.This is mainly because scientists studying earthquakes have generally considered ocean-caused seismic waves as “background noise”.
The research found major U.S.hurricanes had produced a lot of stormquakes.One example was Hurricane Bill in 2009 in the Atlantic Ocean，causing about 300 stormquakes as it moved north.But no such activity was recorded in areas along the U.S.East Coast.The team noted that even Hurricane Sandy，one of the biggest storms in U.S.history，did not cause a single stormquake.Fan says this suggests that stormquakes are strongly influenced by the physical shape of the seafloor’s surface and seafloor conditions.
Fan added that there are still “lots of unknowns” about stormquakes. But he said discovering them “suggests we are reaching a new level of understanding seismic waves”.He hopes the discovery will lead to improved study methods for hurricanes，which in the past were mainly observed from satellites in the sky.“Now we are able to understand it—or at least track part of its route—through the solid earth as well，” he said.
1.What is the characteristic of a stormquake according to this passage
A.Being seasonal. B.Being unexpected.
C.Being long-lasting. D.Being global.
√
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The exciting part is that seismic sources caused by hurricanes can last for hours or even days.”可知，风暴地震的显著特征是持续时间长。故选C。
解析
2.Why were stormquakes unknown to science before
A.Because they were ignored by scientists.
B.Because they were hardly seen on the Earth.
C.Because they were similar to common earthquakes.
D.Because they generally happened in deep seafloors.
√
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“This is mainly because scientists studying earthquakes have generally considered ocean-caused seismic waves as ‘background noise’.”可知，风暴地震不为人知，是因为它们曾经被科学家当成“背景噪声”忽视了。故选A。
解析
3.What message is conveyed in paragraph 4
A.All hurricanes don’t lead to stormquakes.
B.Stormquakes happen more along the East Coast.
C.Stormquakes influence the seafloor’s conditions.
D.Stronger hurricanes produce bigger stormquakes.
√
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The team noted that even Hurricane Sandy，one of the biggest storms in U.S.history，did not cause a single stormquake.”可推知，并不是所有的飓风都会引来风暴地震。故选A。
解析
4.What is the significance of the discovery
A.Helping to predict an earthquake more exactly.
B.Offering a different view on hurricane research.
C.Suggesting the richness of the seismic wave field.
D.Preventing possible hurricanes and lessening losses.
√
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“He hopes the discovery will lead to improved study methods for hurricanes，which in the past were mainly observed from satellites in the sky.”可知，这一发现为飓风研究提供了不同的视角。故选B。
解析
B(此篇精读)
Search and rescue teams are often accompanied by man’s best friend. A dog’s superior sense of smell can be of importance to finding survivors buried under fallen buildings.But now a new animal is being trained to help search and rescue teams after an earthquake hits，and it’s the rat.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。来自苏格兰的研究人员正在训练一批精锐的“搜救部队”，以帮助人们寻找地震中的受难者，这些搜救队成员就是我们相当熟悉的动物——老鼠，当地震发生后，它们将会穿上装有麦克风的小背包，深入地震废墟中的狭小空间，帮助受困者与外界进行交流。
These rescue rats are being trained by Dr.Donna Kean，a researcher from Glasgow，Scotland who has been working with rats for years.Kean explained why she and her colleagues at the nonprofit APOPO train rats instead of dogs.“The rats have a comparable sense of smell，and they’re just as trainable as dogs，” she said.
“Their size is useful because they will be able to move through different environments that dogs just wouldn’t be able to.”
At the moment，the rats are wearing homemade prototype backpacks that contain microphones，video equipment，and location trackers，and then scientists are sending these rats into mock debris(模拟的废墟).Rats would be able to get into small spaces to get to victims(受害者) buried in the ruins.“We have not been in a real situation yet；we have got a mock debris site.When we track the backpack，we will be able to hear from where the rat is inside the debris，” Kean said.“We have the potential to speak to victims through the rat.”
Researchers train them on a basic series of behaviour.Training starts off in a really basic environment：a small and empty room.Then they gradually expand and increase the complexity(复杂性) in order to make it like real life.
They can start adding in debris and making the training area look more like an actual collapsed building site.
The training just started，and researchers still have to run training trials(试验) outside the research environment.
They are working with a search and rescue group called GEA，who are based in Turkey，a country with frequent earthquakes and hoping that by next year they’ll be able to take the rats to Turkey for trials.
5.What advantage do rats have over dogs in the rescue work
A.They are easier to train.
B.They have a better sense of smell.
C.They are more flexible with a smaller size.
D.They adapt to new environments more quickly.
√
细节理解题。根据第三段“Their size is useful because they will be able to move through different environments that dogs just wouldn’t be able to.”可知，在救援工作中，老鼠的优势是体形更小，身体更灵活。故选C。
解析
6.What does the underlined word “comparable” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Impressive. B.Suitable.
C.Unique. D.Similar.
√
词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“they’re just as trainable as dogs”可知，Kean认为老鼠和狗一样，是可以被训练的，这是因为老鼠的嗅觉能力与狗类似。故画线词意思是“相似的”。故选D。
解析
7.What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A.The process of training the rats.
B.The difficulty of conducting experiments.
C.The rats’ behaviour in real collapsed sites.
D.The importance of the research environment.
√
段落大意题。根据第四段中的“At the moment，the rats are wearing homemade prototype backpacks...and then scientists are sending these rats into mock debris(模拟的废墟).Rats would be able to get into small spaces to get to victims(受害者) buried in the ruins.”以及Kean说的话可知，本段主要是关于训练老鼠的过程。故选A。
解析
8.What will scientists plan to do next
A.Use rats for rescue work in large numbers.
B.Send rats to Turkey for field experiments.
C.Carry out further study on disaster prevention.
D.Develop the tracking technology to assist GEA.
√
细节理解题。根据最后一段“They are working with a search and rescue group called GEA，who are based in Turkey，a country with frequent earthquakes and hoping that by next year they’ll be able to take the rats to Turkey for trials.”可知，科学家们下一步计划把老鼠送到土耳其进行现场试验。故选B。
解析
1.accompany(派)＝ac＋company v.陪伴；伴随
2.train 熟义：n.火车 生义(文义)：v.训练
3.nonprofit(派)＝non＋profit adj.非营利的
词汇积累
When we track the backpack，we will be able to hear from where the rat is inside the debris.
分析：此句为复合句。when引导时间状语从句，where the rat is inside the debris为介词from后的宾语从句。
翻译：当我们追踪背包时，我们将能够听到老鼠在废墟中的位置。
