The worst outbreak of desert locusts (蝗虫) in Kenya in 70 years has seen hundreds of millions of the bugs swarm into the East African nation from Somalia and Ethiopia.Those two countries have not had an infestation (侵扰) like this in a quarter-century, destroying farmland and threatening the region with serious hunger.
“Even cows are wondering what is happening,” said Ndunda Makanga, who spent hours Friday trying to chase the locusts from his farm.“Corn, sorghum, cowpeas, they have eaten everything.”
“Even a small swarm of the insects can consume enough food for 35,000 people in a single day,” said Jens Laerke of the UN humanitarian office in Geneva.
About 70,000 hectares — 172,973 acres — of land in Kenya are attacked.A single swarm can contain up to 150 million locusts per square kilometer of farmland — an area the size of almost 250 football fields, authorities say.
“We must act immediately,” said David Phiri of the UN Food and Agricultural Organization.
About $70 million is needed to step up aerial pesticide (杀虫剂) spraying, the only effective way to fight them, the UN says.That won’t be easy, especially in Somalia.
Astonished by the finger-length insects, children dash here and there, waving blankets to shake the locusts free.Farmers are afraid to let their cattle out for grazing, and their crops are in danger, but there is little they can do.
One especially large swarm in northeastern Kenya measured 60 kilometers long by 40 kilometers wide (37 miles long by 25 miles wide).
“The locals are really scared because they can consume everything,” said Francis Kitoo, deputy director of agriculture in southeastern Kenya’s Kitui county.“I’ve never seen such a big number.” He expressed his own concern about the locusts.“They will lay eggs and start another generation,” he said.
1.What did Ndunda Makanga want to express about the outbreak of locusts?( )
A.It’s very serious.
B.It’s very surprising.
C.It happens frequently.
D.It leads to heavy losses.
2.How does the author describe the outbreak of locusts?( )
A.By telling some stories.
B.By providing some facts.
C.By listing some numbers.
D.By giving some examples.
3.How did the farmers react to the big number of locusts?( )
A.They were very brave.
B.They let their cattle out.
C.They sprayed pesticide.
D.They were helpless indeed.
4.What’s Francis Kitoo’s attitude towards the future?( )
A.Worried. B.Confused.
C.Confident. D.Disappointed.

Rivers are very important.Humans rely on them for food and water.But rivers can destroy things, too.They can flood, or rise over their banks, making the water run into the nearby land.Floods can also kill humans and wildlife.However, floods are not always bad.Some ecosystems need them every once in a while.
Flooding can not only drown animals but also destroy habitats.For example, a flood in India in 2012 killed many one-horned rhinos.Floodwaters can pick up dirt from riverbanks, which makes the water dirty.Too much dirt will clog rivers and streams, preventing the river from flowing.Sometimes floodwaters can carry pollution to the sea and harm marine life.In addition, floodwaters can carry disease, including hepatitis A and cholera.
However, not everything about floods is bad.Sometimes they bring new life to ecosystems.Floodwaters carry nutrients to the nearby land.Over time, the water dries up and leaves behind particles (微粒) of dirt and mud.The particles are called sediment (沉淀物) which can be good due to its ability to improve the dirt and help plants grow.Floods are important to some animals as well.For instance, some animals see floods as a sign that it is time to mate or migrate.Floods leave sediment on river beds where baby fish can grow and carry nutrients for small animals in the water to eat.Moreover, in dry seasons, water might dry up, but floods help refill the wetlands, keeping the ecosystem going.
Floods are a part of nature.They can destroy living things and the environment.But some ecosystems need floods to survive.
5.What’s the possible meaning of the underlined word “clog” in Paragraph 2?( )
A.Become. B.Pollute.
C.Block. D.Develop.
6.How do floods help ecosystems?( )
A.Nutrients carried by floods can make soil richer.
B.Floods make all the animals migrate more easily.
C.Tiny fish going with floods feed some animals.
D.Floods can improve the dirt and help plants grow.
7.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?( )
A.The way in which floods feed animals.
B.The benefits of floods to ecosystems.
C.An effective means of improving soil.
D.The reason for people’s appreciating floods.
8.What’s the best title for this article?( )
A.Many Effects of Flooding
B.The Secret of Flooding
C.Floods: Everything Is So Bad
D.Floods: A Part of Nature

Brushing my teeth, I heard what sounded like branches scraping (刮擦) the roof.I paused, wondering what it could be.Then I thought that must have been Hurricane Isabel, which was blowing her way through our city in September 2003.
Then I heard the sound of breaking glass.A second later, the entire house shook.My husband and I stared at each other in frozen horror before rushing to check on our baby daughter asleep in her bed.The sound had scared her awake — never had a cry sounded so sweet — and my husband gratefully snatched (抱起) her up and ran to the relative safety of our room.
Then we ventured out.My husband started the car while I hurried across the street to let a neighbour know we were okay and heading to a friend’s home.Shaking but grateful to be alive, we drove away.
The next morning, bright sunlight clearly displayed the storm’s destruction.We returned home to see that a giant tree in the center of our yard had effectively split our house in two!
As we stood on the sidewalk wondering what to do, a local fire truck pulled up.The firefighters informed us that our home had received the worst damage in the city.When we meet neighbours for the first time, their eyes pop when they realise we live in the house the tree fell through.
In the days and weeks that followed, we remembered the feeling of relief when we realised that everyone in our lives who mattered was unscathed — me, my husband, our daughter and even our two pets.
Yes, we lost many things.But those things were replaceable and the damage was temporary.
Every so often we pull out the photos of the tree’s destruction and feel surprised at how blessed we were — and still are.Whenever we begin to feel ungrateful or unsatisfied with what we have, those photos and memories offer a reminder of how we came through that trial.
9.How did the author feel when she heard the baby crying?( )
A.Sad. B.Curious.
C.Surprised. D.Delighted.
10.What made the author and her husband survive the terrible accident?( )
A.Their leaving home quickly. B.Their calling the firefighters.
C.Their receiving help from neighbours. D.Their fighting with hurricane bravely.
11.What does the underlined word “unscathed” in Paragraph 6 mean?( )
A.Not injured. B.Not affected.
C.Not included. D.Not disturbed.
12.What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text?( )
A.To describe a terrible natural disaster.
B.To thank her neighbours and firefighters.
C.To show the importance of being thankful.
D.To tell us what to do in the face of a hurricane.

语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。洪水作为大自然的一部分,对生态系统既有坏处也有好处。
5.C 词义猜测题。根据第二段中Floodwaters can pick up dirt from riverbanks, which makes the water dirty.以及画线词后的preventing the river from flowing可知,洪水会沿途吸收泥土,而太多的泥土会堵塞河道,使河水无法流淌。由此可推测,画线词clog意为“堵塞”,与block意思相近。
6.A 细节理解题。根据第三段第三至五句可知,洪水沿途所携带的营养物质可以使土壤更丰富,从而更好地改善生态系统。
7.B 段落大意题。根据第三段主旨句However, not everything about floods is bad.Sometimes they bring new life to ecosystems.可知,第三段主要讲的是洪水对生态系统的好处。
8.D 标题归纳题。文章前两段主要讲洪水对生态系统不利的方面,第三段主要讲洪水对生态系统的益处,最后一段总结全文,点明主题——洪水是大自然的一部分。因此,D项(洪水:大自然的一部分)为文章最佳标题。

10.A 推理判断题。根据第二至四段内容可知,作者一家之所以能够死里逃生,主要是因为他们当时做出的明智决定——快速离家去投奔朋友。
11.A 词义猜测题。根据上下文可知,飓风结束了,作者一家“平安无事”。
12.C 写作意图题。根据最后一段内容可知,作者通过分享他们一家人死里逃生的经历,主要表达了一种感恩的心情。

14.C 根据第二段中的He became 18 , moved about the room和saying, “You know, sir, it will never do to be idle.”可知,老鞋匠没活干时在店里来回走,一闲下来就受不了。由此推断,作者刚进店时老鞋匠和他的儿子都很忙。
15.D 根据第一段中的we began to chat可知,作者与老鞋匠继续攀谈。
16.B 根据下文中的He became 18 , moved about the room可知,老鞋匠手头没活干,这说明他派儿子去取他干活要用的东西。
17.C 根据下文中的moved about the room, and at last took up a scrap of leather (碎皮革)和saying, “You know, sir, it will never do to be idle.”可知,儿子才走了五分钟,这位老鞋匠就坐不住了,这说明他是一个闲不住的人。

20.B 根据下文中的Some people are idle ... waste so much of my life on idleness.可知,本段内容是雨停后作者在回家路上的思考。think over “仔细考虑,慎重思考”。
21.C 根据本段中的Some people are idle only now and then和I was one of the latter.和to waste so much of my life on idleness可知,作者想到,有的人只是偶尔闲散,而他自己属于总是闲散的人之一,他因为闲散浪费了很多时间,老鞋匠的话让他开始感到自己把这么多时间浪费在无所事事上是错误的。
22.A 参见上题解析。come home to sb使人(痛苦地)完全明白。

33.giving 考查非谓语动词。 spend time (in) doing为固定短语,其中in可省略,故填giving。
34.usually 考查词形转换。分析句子结构可知,空处作状语表示频率,应用副词。故填usually。
35.To save 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,空处作目的状语,应用动词不定式。设空处位于句首,注意首字母大写。故填To save。

为了避免重复,或为了使句子更简练,在一些句子中常常省去一个或
某几个成分,这种语法现象在英语中叫省略。在英语句子中,常见的
省略情况有以下几种:
一、简单句中的省略
1. 省略主语:一般情况下,主语是不能省略的,但在祈使句和其他不
容易引起歧义的情况下,特别是在口语中,主语常常省略,主要是
祈使句中的you和疑问句中的主语。
(I) Beg your pardon?
请再说一遍?
2. 省略宾语:当前、后两个句子的宾语一致时,后句常省略宾语。
—Do you know Miss Gao?
——你认识高女士吗?
—I don’t know (her).
——我不认识。
3. 省略主语和谓语(或谓语的一部分):在某些具体的场合下,
主语和谓语都很明确,此时为了简化或显得亲切等,可将主语
和谓语(或谓语的一部分)同时省略,只剩下表语、宾语、状
语或其他成分。

多热的天啊!(省略了主语和谓语)
(You come) This way, please.

once, whether, unless, whenever等引导的状语从句中,当
从句主语跟主句主语相同且从句谓语中含有be动词或从句的

The worst outbreak of desert locusts (蝗虫) in Kenya in 70 years
has seen hundreds of millions of the bugs swarm into the East African
nation from Somalia and Ethiopia.Those two countries have not had an
infestation (侵扰) like this in a quarter-century, destroying farmland
and threatening the region with serious hunger.
“Even cows are wondering what is happening,” said Ndunda
Makanga, who spent hours Friday trying to chase the locusts from his
farm.“Corn, sorghum, cowpeas, they have eaten everything.”
“Even a small swarm of the insects can consume enough food for
35,000 people in a single day,” said Jens Laerke of the UN
humanitarian office in Geneva.
About 70,000 hectares — 172,973 acres — of land in Kenya are
attacked.A single swarm can contain up to 150 million locusts per square
kilometer of farmland — an area the size of almost 250 football fields,
authorities say.
“We must act immediately,” said David Phiri of the UN Food and
Agricultural Organization.
About $70 million is needed to step up aerial pesticide (杀虫剂)
spraying, the only effective way to fight them, the UN says.That
won’t be easy, especially in Somalia.
Astonished by the finger-length insects, children dash here and
there, waving blankets to shake the locusts free.Farmers are afraid to let
their cattle out for grazing, and their crops are in danger, but there is
little they can do.
One especially large swarm in northeastern Kenya measured 60
kilometers long by 40 kilometers wide (37 miles long by 25 miles
wide).
“The locals are really scared because they can consume
everything,” said Francis Kitoo, deputy director of agriculture in
southeastern Kenya’s Kitui county.“I’ve never seen such a big
number.” He expressed his own concern about the locusts.“They will
lay eggs and start another generation,” he said.

Rivers are very important.Humans rely on them for food and
water.But rivers can destroy things, too.They can flood, or rise over
their banks, making the water run into the nearby land.Floods can also
kill humans and wildlife.However, floods are not always bad.Some
ecosystems need them every once in a while.
Flooding can not only drown animals but also destroy habitats.For
example, a flood in India in 2012 killed many one-horned
rhinos.Floodwaters can pick up dirt from riverbanks, which makes the
water dirty.Too much dirt will clog rivers and streams, preventing the
river from flowing.Sometimes floodwaters can carry pollution to the sea
and harm marine life.In addition, floodwaters can carry disease,
including hepatitis A and cholera.
However, not everything about floods is bad.Sometimes they bring
new life to ecosystems.Floodwaters carry nutrients to the nearby
land.Over time, the water dries up and leaves behind particles (微粒)
of dirt and mud.The particles are called sediment (沉淀物) which can
be good due to its ability to improve the dirt and help plants grow.Floods
are important to some animals as well.For instance, some animals see
floods as a sign that it is time to mate or migrate.Floods leave sediment on
river beds where baby fish can grow and carry nutrients for small animals
in the water to eat.Moreover, in dry seasons, water might dry up, but
floods help refill the wetlands, keeping the ecosystem going.
Floods are a part of nature.They can destroy living things and the
environment.But some ecosystems need floods to survive.

5. What’s the possible meaning of the underlined word “clog” in
Paragraph 2?( )
A. Become. B. Pollute.
C. Block. D. Develop.
解析: 词义猜测题。根据第二段中Floodwaters can pick up dirt
from riverbanks, which makes the water dirty.以及画线词后的
preventing the river from flowing可知,洪水会沿途吸收泥土,而太
多的泥土会堵塞河道,使河水无法流淌。由此可推测,画线词clog
意为“堵塞”,与block意思相近。
6. How do floods help ecosystems?( )
A. Nutrients carried by floods can make soil richer.
B. Floods make all the animals migrate more easily.
C. Tiny fish going with floods feed some animals.
D. Floods can improve the dirt and help plants grow.

携带的营养物质可以使土壤更丰富,从而更好地改善生态系统。
7. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?( )
A. The way in which floods feed animals.
B. The benefits of floods to ecosystems.
C. An effective means of improving soil.
D. The reason for people’s appreciating floods.
解析: 段落大意题。根据第三段主旨句However, not
everything about floods is bad.Sometimes they bring new life to
ecosystems.可知,第三段主要讲的是洪水对生态系统的好处。
8. What’s the best title for this article?( )
A. Many Effects of Flooding
B. The Secret of Flooding
C. Floods: Everything Is So Bad
D. Floods: A Part of Nature
解析: 标题归纳题。文章前两段主要讲洪水对生态系统不利的
方面,第三段主要讲洪水对生态系统的益处,最后一段总结全文,
点明主题——洪水是大自然的一部分。因此,D项(洪水:大自然
的一部分)为文章最佳标题。
C
Brushing my teeth, I heard what sounded like branches scraping
(刮擦) the roof.I paused, wondering what it could be.Then I thought
that must have been Hurricane Isabel, which was blowing her way
through our city in September 2003.
Then I heard the sound of breaking glass.A second later, the entire
house shook.My husband and I stared at each other in frozen horror before
rushing to check on our baby daughter asleep in her bed.The sound had
scared her awake — never had a cry sounded so sweet — and my husband
gratefully snatched (抱起) her up and ran to the relative safety of our
room.
Then we ventured out.My husband started the car while I hurried
across the street to let a neighbour know we were okay and heading to a
friend’s home.Shaking but grateful to be alive, we drove away.
The next morning, bright sunlight clearly displayed the storm’s
destruction.We returned home to see that a giant tree in the center of our
yard had effectively split our house in two!
As we stood on the sidewalk wondering what to do, a local fire
truck pulled up.The firefighters informed us that our home had received
the worst damage in the city.When we meet neighbours for the first
time, their eyes pop when they realise we live in the house the tree fell
through.
In the days and weeks that followed, we remembered the feeling of
relief when we realised that everyone in our lives who mattered was
unscathed — me, my husband, our daughter and even our two pets.
Yes, we lost many things.But those things were replaceable and the
damage was temporary.
Every so often we pull out the photos of the tree’s destruction and
feel surprised at how blessed we were — and still are.Whenever we begin
to feel ungrateful or unsatisfied with what we have, those photos and
memories offer a reminder of how we came through that trial.
