Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
For the past few years， I’ve taken my vacation in the spring.One April I planned to visit a friend in Nepal who had lived in the country for over 15 years.
I flew into Kathmandu and spent a week visiting sites， and on Friday， 24 April 2015， we went to Lukla， a mountain town to the northeast.My friend had worked there before.We visited a nearby village on Saturday.We were served a delicious pancake and endless cups of milk tea； villagers made small talk and caught up with each other.After a couple of hours， my friend and I made a polite exit （离去） for a coffee break across the dirt path to our lodging， a house he had lived in while working in Lukla years ago.
As we sat in the kitchen taking a rest， I wondered why it felt like an underground was running under the village.As the sound started to shake， I looked out the window at the passers-by and thought it felt like a truck was driving by — impossible in this village.I looked at my friend and he said offhandedly： “It’s an earthquake.” Before I could ask questions， he began shouting to get out of the house.By the time I was running down the dirt path， I couldn’t run straight.
Away from buildings， we lowered our bodies near a low wall， and unbelievably before our eyes， walls and buildings fell.In front of us the end wall of the house we slept in collapsed， the stones dislodging （移开） and falling to the ground.In a matter of seconds， every house in the village was damaged， with walls either seriously cracked （破裂）， or partially or completely damaged.
In the days and weeks that followed we checked in with friends and shared stories of where we were and what we were doing.The event was so wide-reaching that it was difficult to understand except through personal stories.

The year 1988 will not be forgotten for a long time at Yellowstone National Park.Fires broke out in June and burned until September.The fires were not put out completely until November.They covered almost half of the huge park.What caused such huge fires？ There are several answers to this question.
Lodgepole pines （美国黑松） make up 80 per cent of the park’s forests.These trees grow quickly， but they only live about 200 years.Then many of the pines die and are blown down by high winds.The trees lie on the forest floor for many years.In wet forests they would rot （腐烂） and turn back into soil， but it is too dry for this to happen in Yellowstone.In 1988， dead wood covered the forest floor.
Yellowstone usually gets a lot of snow in the winter.When the snow melts， it provides water for the plants.For six winters in the 1980s， little snow had fallen.Rain usually falls during the summer months， but 1988 was the driest summer in 116 years.
Several fires started in and near the park in June.Park officials fought the fires caused by human carelessness.They didn’t try to put out the fires started by lightning.They knew that fires help clean out the dead wood.When little rain fell in June and July， the fires became larger and larger.More than 17，000 acres had burned by 21 July.Park officials decided that it was time to fight all of the big fires.
On 23 July， strong winds blew the fires into new areas of the park.Firefighters battled the flames， but they had little success.On 20 August， 80-mile-per-hour winds swept through the park.This day became known as Black Saturday.Fires that had almost died out came back to life.No matter how hard the firefighters tried， they couldn’t control the flames.Snow and rain began to fall in September.Then the worst of the fires were put out.The remaining fires were put out by heavy snows in November.
5.How long did the fires at Yellowstone National Park last？（ ）
A.About 3 months.

D.They knew fires would go out of itself.

As New Zealand begins the long， costly task of clearing up after Cyclone （飓风） Gabrielle cut a disastrous path across much of the North Island on 12 and 13 February， finger pointing has started.
The clean-up and rebuilding may take years， and even longer in remote parts， with costs running into the billions of dollars.
What made the cyclone worse for New Zealand was that it followed nearly a week of heavy rain in late January that caused the worst flooding in the nation’s history.
Green Party leader James Shaw delivered a speech on 14 February， saying， “I struggle to find words to express what I am thinking and feeling about this particular crisis.I don’t think I’ve ever felt as sad or as angry about the lost decades that we spent arguing about whether climate change was real or not， whether it was caused by humans or not， whether it was bad or not， whether we should do something about it or not， because it is clearly here now， and if we do not act， it will get worse.”
Shaw’s speech highlighted the growing concern in New Zealand and across the world on the increasing effect of climate change on global weather patterns.
A lecturer in the University of Auckland said it was high time the country moved away from passive responses to natural disasters and adopted an active approach.
“In the next decades down to the end of this century， we expect that ocean temperatures will steadily climb and extreme events will become more common， serious， and long-lasting，” a marine expert said.“The actual trajectory （轨迹）， however， depends on how society will deal with the climate change challenge.”
9.What does the underlined phrase “finger pointing” in the first paragraph probably mean？（ ）
A.Blame. B.Praise.
C.Approval. D.Celebration.
10.What made the cyclone worse for New Zealand？（ ）
A.It will take a long time and cost a lot of money to clean up and rebuild.
B.Heavy rain had lasted for nearly a week before the cyclone hit New Zealand.
C.Some people made a lot of complaints about the cyclone.
D.The cyclone caused the worst flooding in the history of New Zealand.
11.What can we infer from what Shaw said in Paragraph 4？（ ）
A.It was easy for Shaw to express himself about the cyclone.
B.Shaw felt very sad and angry about the cyclone.
C.It is necessary to argue about climate change.
D.Humans should take action to deal with climate change right away.
12.What would be the best title for the passage？（ ）
A.Clean-up and Rebuilding After Cyclone
B.Attaching Importance to Climate Change
C.Cyclone Seen as Wake-up Call on Climate Change
D.Increasing Ocean Temperatures Responsible for Extreme Events
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
A tsunami is an extremely large wave in the sea caused by an earthquake at the sea bed.The following safety tips may help you deal with it.
Before the tsunami
Know the warning signs of a tsunami： rapidly rising or falling coastal waters， a loud noise from the ocean， or rumblings of an earthquake.“If people along the Indian Ocean coastline on 26 December 2004， were aware of these natural warnings， fewer people would have died.” says an expert.13.（ ） And you’d better map your evacuation （疏散） route.
During the tsunami
·If you’re in a tsunami area and there is an earthquake， first drop to the floor， cover your head and neck， and hold on to something stable.14.（ ）
·15.（ ） “Listen to the authorities， but do not wait for tsunami warnings and evacuation orders，” suggests the US site Ready.gov.
·People often mistake the distance they have to go to be safe.“Many people think they’ve got to go miles，” Richards says.“16.（ ）” If you’re a visitor staying in a tall concrete hotel， he adds， going above the fourth floor likely will be safer than evacuating.
·Stay put in a safe area until an official all-clear is given.The first wave may not be the last or the strongest and the danger can last for hours or even days.
After the tsunami
First， stay clear of damaged or flooded areas and downed power lines.Meanwhile， listen for further alerts and instructions about evacuation zones and shelters.17.（ ） Phone systems are likely to be down or busy at that time.
A.But it might be just right behind Johnny’s house.
B.But they can also come back as soon as possible.
C.If you’re in a low-lying area， move inland as soon as possible.
D.Take the warnings seriously， and strictly follow the requirements.
E.Listen for official warnings， but also listen and watch for natural signs.
F.Besides， you should be familiar with your government’s warning system.
G.You’d better use texts and social media to communicate with loved ones.

Ⅰ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在尼泊尔时遭遇地震的经历。
1.A 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句和第二段第一句可知，作者在尼泊尔拜访了他的朋友，两人一起在尼泊尔游玩。
2.C 推理判断题。根据第二段中的We visited a nearby village ...caught up with each other.可推知，那个村子里的人都很友善、热情。
3.D 词义猜测题。根据第三段第二句以及倒数第二句可知，朋友立即意识到是地震来了。画线词所在句意为：我看着我的朋友，他立即说：“这是地震。”故可猜测画线单词offhandedly意为“立即地”。
4.C 推理判断题。根据第四段内容可推知，村庄在地震中严重受损。
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章简要介绍了发生在1988年的美国黄石公园森林大火。
5.C 细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，这场火灾发生在1988年6月，直到11月才被彻底扑灭，持续了5个月的时间。
6.B 推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知，本段主要强调了1988年气候干旱这一导致火灾的原因。
7.C 细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知，森林里的官员们认为大火可以帮助烧掉那些已经死掉的树木，也就是说，他们没想到大火会带来灾难。
8.D 细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知，森林里的官员们在7月21日（也就是大火发生的一个月后）才决定灭火。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了飓风 Gabrielle 给新西兰带来的灾害及此灾害给人们的警醒。
9.A 词义猜测题。短语的字面意思“将手指指向某人”含有“指责”之意；第四段中 James Shaw 的观点（if we do not act， it will get worse）和第六段中奥克兰的一位讲师的观点（it was high time the country moved away from passive responses to natural disasters and adopted an active approach）都表现出两人对现状的不满。故猜测finger pointing意为“指责”。
10.B 细节理解题。根据第三段可知，飓风来临前的一场接近一周的强降雨造成了新西兰历史上最严重的洪水，这让此次飓风造成的后果更严重了。
11.D 推理判断题。根据第四段中if we do not act， it will get worse可知， 人们是时候采取行动来应对气候变化了。
12.C 标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章讲述飓风 Gabrielle 给新西兰带来的灾害以及飓风发生后，三个不同的人发表了同一主题的感慨——人们应该积极行动起来主动应对气候变化。所以C选项（飓风被视为气候变化的警钟）符合文章主旨，适合作标题。
Ⅱ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了应对海啸的一些安全建议。
13.F 上文举例讲述了自然警告有助于降低伤害，下文讲述了画撤离路线的作用，所以空处应讲述在海啸来临之前能够采取的其他措施。F项（此外，你应该熟悉政府的预警系统）承上启下，符合语境。
14.C 上文讲述了在发生地震的海啸地区应该采取的做法。C项（如果你在低洼地区，尽快向内陆移动）符合语境，讲述在其他地方应该怎么做。
15.E 根据下文可知，听取官方警告但不要等待海啸警报和撤离命令。E项（倾听官方警告，但也要倾听和注意自然迹象）符合语境。
16.A 上文讲述了人们经常误以为自己要走很远才能到安全地带。A项（但它可能就在Johnny的房子后面）符合语境，与上文构成转折关系。
17.G 下文讲述了海啸之后电话系统可能有故障或者线路繁忙，所以空处应和通讯有关。G项（你最好使用短信和社交媒体与所爱的人交流）符合语境。

[1]Picking up① a free newspaper at the Tube② station， I see the title “Hot！Hot！Hot！”.Today， the temperature in London is expected to③ reach 30 plus④ degrees！The average high temperature in July is only 22 degrees， so over 30 is not usual for London.It’s going to be awful on the Central Line， with no air conditioning.Why did they have to invent the Tube before air conditioning？ It’s just typical⑤ that my journey is on one of the oldest lines， as well as⑥ one of the deepest.It’s the hottest on the whole Tube system.

Sure enough， [2] going down the stairs and onto the platform is like jumping into a volcano [3]that’s erupting⑦.This， however， is nothing compared to⑧ the train.Because there’s no air conditioning， the temperature inside the train can reach 35 degrees！It’s lovely at the beach， but not so when you’re wearing a suit and in a crowd of passengers！I’m sure the passenger next to⑨ me and I are melting and becoming one！I had bacon and eggs for breakfast， and now I’m feeling a bit sick⑩ — I hope I can make it to Bank station ...I’ll avoid the feeling by thinking about work.I work in a tall， glass building.One very hot summer， the sun reflected off it and melted cars [4] parked below！ Will this happen again today？
[2]动词-ing短语作主语。
[3]that’s erupting是定语从句，修饰先行词volcano。
[4]过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰cars。
Yes， each summer in London definitely seems hotter than the last.I suddenly feel a bit scared .Perhaps now is the time to start planning for the future？ I should probably put my flat on the market and buy a boat.That way， when the Thames rises and there is a flood in London， I’ll still be able to get to work.But wait！Would I still have a workplace to go to？My office is only on the third floor of the building， so quite low.I’ll speak with my manager about moving to the top floor.Most importantly ， I will need to learn to swim！I’ll join a beginner’s swimming class immediately .Then I’ll be able to survive even when the tall buildings are flooded.
[5]Looking through my newspaper， I’m shocked by photos [6]showing that a typhoon in Asia has destroyed a town.What’s more ， heavy rain in Eastern Europe has caused landslides ， and the heat across Southern Europe has caused forest fires.Experts say this bad weather has occurred due to climate change.News like this [7]makes me feel nervous.[8]Now that it’s hard to avoid a disaster on Earth， perhaps I should start thinking about moving to space ...
[5]动词-ing短语作时间状语。
[6]动词-ing形式作后置定语，that引导宾语从句。
[7]此处为“make＋宾语＋宾语补足语”结构。make为使役动词，宾语为me，宾语补足语为省略to的动词不定式feel nervous。
[8]Now that 引导原因状语从句；it作形式主语，真正的主语为动词不定式短语to avoid a disaster on Earth。
[9]“The next station is Bank！” comes the announcement .That’s my destination .Stepping out of the station with a heavy heart， I suddenly feel a fresh wind on my face.Well， maybe I have been worrying too much.After all ， it’s only 30 degrees outside！
[9]本句为完全倒装句。正常语序为The announcement comes “The next station is Bank！”。

热！热！热！
在地铁站拿起一份免费报纸，我看到一个标题写着“热！热！热！”。今天，伦敦的温度预计将达到30多度！7月的平均最高温度只有22度，所以超过30度对于伦敦来说太不寻常了。地铁中央线没有空调系统，情况会很糟糕。为什么地铁要在空调系统之前发明出来？我通常上班所走的路线刚好是地铁里最老、最深的一条线。那也是整个地铁系统里最热的一条线。
果不其然，走下楼梯，来到站台上就像是跳进一座正在喷发的火山。不过这还远远比不上车厢里面。因为没有空调，车厢内的温度能达到35度！这样的温度在海滩上会很舒服，但是当你穿着西装挤在一群乘客中，可就没那么舒服了。我敢肯定邻座的乘客和我都正在熔化，我们要融为一体了！我早餐吃了培根和鸡蛋，现在感觉有点恶心——希望我能撑到银行站……我还是想想工作的事来逃避这种感觉吧。我在一座高高的玻璃建筑里上班。有一年夏天非常热，大楼表面反射的阳光竟然熔化了停在楼下的车！今天这种事会重演吗？
没错，好像伦敦的夏天一年比一年热。我突然觉得有点儿害怕。也许是时候该为将来打算了？我或许应该把房子在市场上卖掉，然后买一艘船。这样等泰晤士河的水涨起来，伦敦被洪水淹没的时候，我依然能去上班。不过等等！到那时候我还有地方工作吗？我的办公室就在四楼，太低了。我得去跟经理请求搬到顶楼去。最重要的是，我得学会游泳！我得马上报个游泳入门班。这样就算高楼大厦都被洪水淹没了，我也能活下来。
我翻阅着手里的报纸，震惊地看到亚洲的台风摧毁了一个城镇的照片。还有，东欧的暴雨造成了山体滑坡，席卷南欧的热浪引发了森林火灾。专家说这些恶劣天气是由气候变化导致的。这样的新闻让我感到紧张。既然在地球上难逃一劫，或许我应该开始考虑移民太空了……
“下一站，银行站！”报站声响起。我要到站了。我心情沉重地走出地铁站，突然感觉到一阵清风扑面而来。罢了罢了，也许是我担心得太多了。毕竟，外面只有30度！

【参考译文】
热！热！热！
在地铁站拿起一份免费报纸，我看到一个标题写着“热！热！
热！”。今天，伦敦的温度预计将达到30多度！7月的平均最高温度
只有22度，所以超过30度对于伦敦来说太不寻常了。地铁中央线没有
空调系统，情况会很糟糕。为什么地铁要在空调系统之前发明出来？
我通常上班所走的路线刚好是地铁里最老、最深的一条线。那也是整
个地铁系统里最热的一条线。
果不其然，走下楼梯，来到站台上就像是跳进一座正在喷发的火
山。不过这还远远比不上车厢里面。因为没有空调，车厢内的温度能
达到35度！这样的温度在海滩上会很舒服，但是当你穿着西装挤在一
群乘客中，可就没那么舒服了。我敢肯定邻座的乘客和我都正在熔
化，我们要融为一体了！我早餐吃了培根和鸡蛋，现在感觉有点恶
心——希望我能撑到银行站……我还是想想工作的事来逃避这种感觉
吧。我在一座高高的玻璃建筑里上班。有一年夏天非常热，大楼表面
反射的阳光竟然熔化了停在楼下的车！今天这种事会重演吗？
没错，好像伦敦的夏天一年比一年热。我突然觉得有点儿害怕。
也许是时候该为将来打算了？我或许应该把房子在市场上卖掉，然后
买一艘船。这样等泰晤士河的水涨起来，伦敦被洪水淹没的时候，我
依然能去上班。不过等等！到那时候我还有地方工作吗？我的办公室
就在四楼，太低了。我得去跟经理请求搬到顶楼去。最重要的是，我
得学会游泳！我得马上报个游泳入门班。这样就算高楼大厦都被洪水
淹没了，我也能活下来。
我翻阅着手里的报纸，震惊地看到亚洲的台风摧毁了一个城镇的
照片。还有，东欧的暴雨造成了山体滑坡，席卷南欧的热浪引发了森
林火灾。专家说这些恶劣天气是由气候变化导致的。这样的新闻让我
感到紧张。既然在地球上难逃一劫，或许我应该开始考虑移民太空
了……
“下一站，银行站！”报站声响起。我要到站了。我心情沉重地
走出地铁站，突然感觉到一阵清风扑面而来。罢了罢了，也许是我担
心得太多了。毕竟，外面只有30度！

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
For the past few years， I’ve taken my vacation in the spring.One
April I planned to visit a friend in Nepal who had lived in the country for
over 15 years.
I flew into Kathmandu and spent a week visiting sites， and on
Friday， 24 April 2015， we went to Lukla， a mountain town to the
northeast.My friend had worked there before.We visited a nearby village
on Saturday.We were served a delicious pancake and endless cups of milk
tea； villagers made small talk and caught up with each other.After a
couple of hours， my friend and I made a polite exit （离去） for a coffee
break across the dirt path to our lodging， a house he had lived in while
working in Lukla years ago.
As we sat in the kitchen taking a rest， I wondered why it felt like an
underground was running under the village.As the sound started to
shake， I looked out the window at the passers-by and thought it felt like a
truck was driving by — impossible in this village.I looked at my friend
and he said offhandedly： “It’s an earthquake.” Before I could ask
questions， he began shouting to get out of the house.By the time I was
running down the dirt path， I couldn’t run straight.
Away from buildings， we lowered our bodies near a low wall， and
unbelievably before our eyes， walls and buildings fell.In front of us the
end wall of the house we slept in collapsed， the stones dislodging （移
开） and falling to the ground.In a matter of seconds， every house in the
village was damaged， with walls either seriously cracked （破裂）， or
partially or completely damaged.
In the days and weeks that followed we checked in with friends and
shared stories of where we were and what we were doing.The event was
so wide-reaching that it was difficult to understand except through personal
stories.

The year 1988 will not be forgotten for a long time at Yellowstone
National Park.Fires broke out in June and burned until September.The
fires were not put out completely until November.They covered almost
half of the huge park.What caused such huge fires？ There are several
answers to this question.
Lodgepole pines （美国黑松） make up 80 per cent of the park’s
forests.These trees grow quickly， but they only live about 200
years.Then many of the pines die and are blown down by high winds.The
trees lie on the forest floor for many years.In wet forests they would rot
（腐烂） and turn back into soil， but it is too dry for this to happen in
Yellowstone.In 1988， dead wood covered the forest floor.
Yellowstone usually gets a lot of snow in the winter.When the snow
melts， it provides water for the plants.For six winters in the 1980s，
little snow had fallen.Rain usually falls during the summer months， but
1988 was the driest summer in 116 years.
Several fires started in and near the park in June.Park officials fought
the fires caused by human carelessness.They didn’t try to put out the
fires started by lightning.They knew that fires help clean out the dead
wood.When little rain fell in June and July， the fires became larger and
larger.More than 17，000 acres had burned by 21 July.Park officials
decided that it was time to fight all of the big fires.
On 23 July， strong winds blew the fires into new areas of the
park.Firefighters battled the flames， but they had little success.On 20
August， 80-mile-per-hour winds swept through the park.This day
became known as Black Saturday.Fires that had almost died out came
back to life.No matter how hard the firefighters tried， they couldn’t
control the flames.Snow and rain began to fall in September.Then the
worst of the fires were put out.The remaining fires were put out by heavy
snows in November.

As New Zealand begins the long， costly task of clearing up after
Cyclone （飓风） Gabrielle cut a disastrous path across much of the
North Island on 12 and 13 February， finger pointing has started.
The clean-up and rebuilding may take years， and even longer in
remote parts， with costs running into the billions of dollars.
What made the cyclone worse for New Zealand was that it followed
nearly a week of heavy rain in late January that caused the worst flooding
in the nation’s history.
Green Party leader James Shaw delivered a speech on 14 February，
saying， “I struggle to find words to express what I am thinking and
feeling about this particular crisis.I don’t think I’ve ever felt as sad or
as angry about the lost decades that we spent arguing about whether
climate change was real or not， whether it was caused by humans or
not， whether it was bad or not， whether we should do something about
it or not， because it is clearly here now， and if we do not act， it will
get worse.”
Shaw’s speech highlighted the growing concern in New Zealand and
across the world on the increasing effect of climate change on global
weather patterns.
A lecturer in the University of Auckland said it was high time the
country moved away from passive responses to natural disasters and
adopted an active approach.
“In the next decades down to the end of this century， we expect
that ocean temperatures will steadily climb and extreme events will
become more common， serious， and long-lasting，” a marine expert
said.“The actual trajectory （轨迹）， however， depends on how
society will deal with the climate change challenge.”

带来的灾害及此灾害给人们的警醒。
9. What does the underlined phrase “finger pointing” in the first
paragraph probably mean？（ ）
A. Blame. B. Praise.
C. Approval. D. Celebration.
解析： 词义猜测题。短语的字面意思“将手指指向某人”含有
“指责”之意；第四段中 James Shaw 的观点（if we do not act， it
will get worse）和第六段中奥克兰的一位讲师的观点（it was high
time the country moved away from passive responses to natural
disasters and adopted an active approach）都表现出两人对现状的不
满。故猜测finger pointing意为“指责”。
10. What made the cyclone worse for New Zealand？（ ）
A. It will take a long time and cost a lot of money to clean up and rebuild.
B. Heavy rain had lasted for nearly a week before the cyclone hit New
Zealand.
C. Some people made a lot of complaints about the cyclone.
D. The cyclone caused the worst flooding in the history of New Zealand.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段可知，飓风来临前的一场接
近一周的强降雨造成了新西兰历史上最严重的洪水，这让此次飓
风造成的后果更严重了。
11. What can we infer from what Shaw said in Paragraph 4？（ ）
A. It was easy for Shaw to express himself about the cyclone.
B. Shaw felt very sad and angry about the cyclone.
C. It is necessary to argue about climate change.
D. Humans should take action to deal with climate change right away.
解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段中if we do not act， it will get
worse可知， 人们是时候采取行动来应对气候变化了。
12. What would be the best title for the passage？（ ）
A. Clean-up and Rebuilding After Cyclone
B. Attaching Importance to Climate Change
C. Cyclone Seen as Wake-up Call on Climate Change
D. Increasing Ocean Temperatures Responsible for Extreme Events
解析： 标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章讲述飓风
Gabrielle 给新西兰带来的灾害以及飓风发生后，三个不同的
人发表了同一主题的感慨——人们应该积极行动起来主动应对
气候变化。所以C选项（飓风被视为气候变化的警钟）符合文
章主旨，适合作标题。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
A tsunami is an extremely large wave in the sea caused by an
earthquake at the sea bed.The following safety tips may help you deal with
it.
Before the tsunami
Know the warning signs of a tsunami： rapidly rising or falling
coastal waters， a loud noise from the ocean， or rumblings of an
earthquake.“If people along the Indian Ocean coastline on 26 December
2004， were aware of these natural warnings， fewer people would have
died.” says an expert.13.（ ） And you’d better map your
evacuation （疏散） route.
During the tsunami
·If you’re in a tsunami area and there is an earthquake， first drop to
the floor， cover your head and neck， and hold on to something
stable.14.（ ）
·15.（ ） “Listen to the authorities， but do not wait for
tsunami warnings and evacuation orders，” suggests the US site
Ready.gov.
·People often mistake the distance they have to go to be safe.“Many
people think they’ve got to go miles，” Richards says.“16.
（ ）” If you’re a visitor staying in a tall concrete hotel， he
adds， going above the fourth floor likely will be safer than evacuating.
·Stay put in a safe area until an official all-clear is given.The first
wave may not be the last or the strongest and the danger can last for hours
or even days.
After the tsunami
First， stay clear of damaged or flooded areas and downed power
lines.Meanwhile， listen for further alerts and instructions about
evacuation zones and shelters.17.（ ） Phone systems are likely to be
down or busy at that time.
A. But it might be just right behind Johnny’s house.
B. But they can also come back as soon as possible.
C. If you’re in a low-lying area， move inland as soon as possible.
D. Take the warnings seriously， and strictly follow the requirements.
E. Listen for official warnings， but also listen and watch for natural
signs.
F. Besides， you should be familiar with your government’s warning
system.
G. You’d better use texts and social media to communicate with loved
ones.

以空处应和通讯有关。G项（你最好使用短信和社交媒体与所爱的人
交流）符合语境。
