Having lived in California until 1970, my family has felt a number of earthquakes. We have been fortunate, however, to have suffered no bodily harm or property damage.
There is a website that lists all California earthquakes recorded from 1769 to the present. The site lists the dates and times as well as the magnitude(震级) and the exact location of any quake that measured more than 6.0. There are only a few quakes that stand out in my memory and, luckily, none is shown on the website. So, my personal experience with earthquakes might be considered insignificant.
There are three earthquakes that are difficult to forget. The first one was in 1955 and our oldest daughter was walking with me in our backyard in Redwood City in California. As the shaking became stronger, I held her to me with one arm as I held on to one of our fruit trees with the other. All three of us(my daughter, I and the tree) shook for two or three minutes that to us felt like hours.
The second one was in 1963. Our entire family was visiting Disneyland in Southern California. The earth started to shake just as we were beginning to walk from our hotel toward the famous landmark.
My third experience with an earthquake was a lonely one in California. It was in my sixties and I was alone in an old church. As the building started to shake, I quickly headed for the door to go outside. I remember I said a little prayer—something like, “Help me get out of here in time, Dear Heavenly Father.” Minutes later, I was safe outside.
4. What message does the passage mainly tell us
A. A new film about an earthquake.
B. The survival of an earthquake.
C. Three earthquake experiences.
D. The rescue of children in an earthquake.
5. The earthquakes the author has experienced .
A. all caused bodily harm B. are all recorded on a website
C. all measured more than 6.0 D. all happened in California
6. When the first earthquake happened, the author .
A. was staying with his daughter B. was planting fruit trees
C. held on to a tree for hours D. was in a hotel
7. What does the underlined part “the famous landmark” refer to
A. A church. B. Disneyland.
C. A building destroyed by an earthquake. D. The place where the author was born.
C
Several days of unusually warm weather in northern Greenland have caused rapid melting(融化). “Temperatures have been running around 15.5℃. It is warmer than normal for this time of year,” scientists said. The amount of ice that melted in Greenland between July 15 and July 17 alone—6 billion tons of water per day—would be enough to fill 7.2 million Olympic-sized swimming pools, according to the report from the National Snow and Ice Data Centre. Put another way, it was enough to cover the whole state of West Virginia with a foot of water.
For the scientists out on the ice sheet(冰盖), the warmth has been alarming. “It really makes me anxious,” said Kutalmis Saylam, a scientist who is now working in Greenland. “Yesterday, we could hang about in our T-shirts, which was not really expected. Since Greenland holds enough ice, sea level would rise by 7.5 metres around the world if ice all melted.”
In 2020, scientists found that Greenland's ice sheet had melted beyond the point of no return. “No efforts to prevent global warming can stop it from finally breaking into small parts,” said researchers.
Aslak Grinsted, a climate scientist, said that they were trying to get flights into the camp so they can ship out the ice cores(冰芯) they had recently collected. But the warmth is destabilizing the landing site. “The weather we are seeing right now is too hot for the ski-equipped planes to land,” Grinsted said. “So we store the ice cores in large caves we have made into the snow to protect it from the heat of the summer.” Scientists made use of the abnormal warmth while they were waiting, playing volleyball in their shorts on an ice sheet at the top of the world.
Grinsted referred to the temperatures as a heat wave, and noted that the possibility of temperatures getting this hot was clearly connected to global warming.
8. How does the author support the topic of Paragraph 1
A. By exploring reasons. B. By making comparisons.
C. By designing the numbers. D. By doing some experiments.
9. What did Kutalmis mean in Paragraph 2
A. He disliked wearing a T-shirt.
B. He worried about the warmth.
C. He was deeply impressed by the ice.
D. He was thirsty for enjoying the sea view.
10. What does the underlined word “destabilizing” mean in Paragraph 4
A. Quitting. B. Improving. C. Sheltering. D. Destroying.
11. What will the author probably do in the following paragraph
A. Recommend visiting Greenland.
B. Describe how to ship out the ice core.
C. Call on people to protect the environment.
D. Plan to organise a sports meeting on ice.
D
(2024广东广州二中期中)It was raining like nothing before when Ehdaa Bujeldain, an English teacher living with her family in the mountains of Derna in eastern Libya, heard a loud noise that sounded like an explosion(爆炸). Later they learned that a dam(大坝) in Derna had broken down under the pressure of running water. For the next four days, they had no power or Internet, and it was only recently that they started to fully understand of the damage caused by the floods.
“Half of the city has been destroyed. My mum's relatives, my friends, my co-workers—they are all gone. Now we, the survivors, are just ghosts in shells,” says Bujeldain, whose sadness can be easily told from her blank expression.
Five days have passed since the terrible flooding in Derna, Libya's Red Crescent organisation estimated that 11,300 people have died, while the city's mayor believes the number of deaths could be as high as 20,000.
Derna is a coastal city with a seasonal river called the Wadi Derna. Despite the abnormally heavy rain, people living near the river had little warning before the floodwaters came rushing in on that terrible morning. United Nations aid chief Martin Griffiths described the scale of the flood as “appalling(令人惊骇的)” and blamed the flood partly on sudden climate change.
Now international aid teams are arriving in Derna, but they face challenges due to damaged roads, lack of access to power, water, and fuel. Tarhoni, doctor of the rescue team, warns that the most difficult weeks lie ahead. “One disaster is done and there is another to come,” he says. “The thousands and thousands of people who lost everything—these people now need comfort, they need company, they need psychological support.”
12. What do we know about Bujeldain's family from Paragraph 1
A. The explosion they heard led to the destruction of the dam.
B. Bujeldain saved her family from the floods with her bravery.
C. Bujeldain immediately recognised the outbreak of the floods.
D. For several days, they didn't fully realise the seriousness of the floods.
13. What does Bujeldain mean by saying they are “just ghosts in shells” in Paragraph 2
A. They run out of energy and are very tired.
B. They feel lucky as they are safe and sound.
C. They are completely saddened and shocked.
D. They are sorry for the loss of their homeland.
14. According to the passage, which of the following does NOT contribute to the loss of lives
A. The absence of warning. B. The extraordinary rainfall.
C. Unexpected climate change. D. The damage to environment.
15. What might be the main focus of international aid efforts in Derna
A. Addressing mental problems.
B. Providing immediate medical care.
C. Conducting climate change research.
D. Rebuilding roads and access to resources.
第二节 阅读七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
It's important to learn how we can protect the environment. Here are 5R rules for us.
Reduce. If you want to reduce waste, you should use things more wisely. 16 . If everyone uses paper carelessly, soon we would not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people don't know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to reduce the amount of waste we produce.
Reuse. You should always think of reusing things before throwing them away. For example, 17 . In a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters.
Recycle. Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By doing so we can save lots of time and money. For example, 18 . The metal can be used to make new coke cans.
Recover. 19 . You have two choices: one is to throw the apples away, the second is to throw the rotten ones and keep the good ones. In this way, you are recovering the eatable parts of food.
Repair. If one of the legs of your table is broken, you should repair it. If you want to buy something newer and better, it is better for you to sell the old table, or 20 .
Learn the rules to protect our environment. Let's try our best to make the earth cleaner and more beautiful.
A. give the clothes you do not use or the ones that are too small to the poor
B. coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed flat and melted
C. A large number of trees are being cut down to make paper
D. Trees are planted every year
E. give it to people who can use it after repairing it
F. Don't throw it away if you can use it
G. When you buy a box of apples, there may be a few rotten ones

We've got 10 great 37 (way) to roll up your sleeves and get to work, whether you have five minutes, five hours or want to form habits that will last a lifetime.
Since our cars are some of the 38 (great) sources of pollution in our daily lives, it makes sense to start there.

So how will you get around Consider 44 (take) the bus or train, working from home for the day, or 45 (ride) your bike if possible. Then you'll be getting healthier with the planet.

Having lived in California until 1970, my family has felt a number of earthquakes. We have been fortunate, however, to have suffered no bodily harm or property damage.
There is a website that lists all California earthquakes recorded from 1769 to the present. The site lists the dates and times as well as the magnitude(震级) and the exact location of any quake that measured more than 6.0. There are only a few quakes that stand out in my memory and, luckily, none is shown on the website. So, my personal experience with earthquakes might be considered insignificant.
There are three earthquakes that are difficult to forget. The first one was in 1955 and our oldest daughter was walking with me in our backyard in Redwood City in California. As the shaking became stronger, I held her to me with one arm as I held on to one of our fruit trees with the other. All three of us(my daughter, I and the tree) shook for two or three minutes that to us felt like hours.
The second one was in 1963. Our entire family was visiting Disneyland in Southern California. The earth started to shake just as we were beginning to walk from our hotel toward the famous landmark.
My third experience with an earthquake was a lonely one in California. It was in my sixties and I was alone in an old church. As the building started to shake, I quickly headed for the door to go outside. I remember I said a little prayer—something like, “Help me get out of here in time, Dear Heavenly Father.” Minutes later, I was safe outside.
4. What message does the passage mainly tell us
A. A new film about an earthquake.
B. The survival of an earthquake.
C. Three earthquake experiences.
D. The rescue of children in an earthquake.
5. The earthquakes the author has experienced .
A. all caused bodily harm B. are all recorded on a website
C. all measured more than 6.0 D. all happened in California
6. When the first earthquake happened, the author .
A. was staying with his daughter B. was planting fruit trees
C. held on to a tree for hours D. was in a hotel
7. What does the underlined part “the famous landmark” refer to
A. A church. B. Disneyland.
C. A building destroyed by an earthquake. D. The place where the author was born.

Several days of unusually warm weather in northern Greenland have caused rapid melting(融化). “Temperatures have been running around 15.5℃. It is warmer than normal for this time of year,” scientists said. The amount of ice that melted in Greenland between July 15 and July 17 alone—6 billion tons of water per day—would be enough to fill 7.2 million Olympic-sized swimming pools, according to the report from the National Snow and Ice Data Centre. Put another way, it was enough to cover the whole state of West Virginia with a foot of water.
For the scientists out on the ice sheet(冰盖), the warmth has been alarming. “It really makes me anxious,” said Kutalmis Saylam, a scientist who is now working in Greenland. “Yesterday, we could hang about in our T-shirts, which was not really expected. Since Greenland holds enough ice, sea level would rise by 7.5 metres around the world if ice all melted.”
In 2020, scientists found that Greenland's ice sheet had melted beyond the point of no return. “No efforts to prevent global warming can stop it from finally breaking into small parts,” said researchers.
Aslak Grinsted, a climate scientist, said that they were trying to get flights into the camp so they can ship out the ice cores(冰芯) they had recently collected. But the warmth is destabilizing the landing site. “The weather we are seeing right now is too hot for the ski-equipped planes to land,” Grinsted said. “So we store the ice cores in large caves we have made into the snow to protect it from the heat of the summer.” Scientists made use of the abnormal warmth while they were waiting, playing volleyball in their shorts on an ice sheet at the top of the world.
Grinsted referred to the temperatures as a heat wave, and noted that the possibility of temperatures getting this hot was clearly connected to global warming.
8. How does the author support the topic of Paragraph 1
A. By exploring reasons. B. By making comparisons.
C. By designing the numbers. D. By doing some experiments.
9. What did Kutalmis mean in Paragraph 2
A. He disliked wearing a T-shirt.
B. He worried about the warmth.
C. He was deeply impressed by the ice.
D. He was thirsty for enjoying the sea view.
10. What does the underlined word “destabilizing” mean in Paragraph 4
A. Quitting. B. Improving. C. Sheltering. D. Destroying.
11. What will the author probably do in the following paragraph
A. Recommend visiting Greenland.
B. Describe how to ship out the ice core.
C. Call on people to protect the environment.
D. Plan to organise a sports meeting on ice.

(2024广东广州二中期中)It was raining like nothing before when Ehdaa Bujeldain, an English teacher living with her family in the mountains of Derna in eastern Libya, heard a loud noise that sounded like an explosion(爆炸). Later they learned that a dam(大坝) in Derna had broken down under the pressure of running water. For the next four days, they had no power or Internet, and it was only recently that they started to fully understand of the damage caused by the floods.
“Half of the city has been destroyed. My mum's relatives, my friends, my co-workers—they are all gone. Now we, the survivors, are just ghosts in shells,” says Bujeldain, whose sadness can be easily told from her blank expression.
Five days have passed since the terrible flooding in Derna, Libya's Red Crescent organisation estimated that 11,300 people have died, while the city's mayor believes the number of deaths could be as high as 20,000.
Derna is a coastal city with a seasonal river called the Wadi Derna. Despite the abnormally heavy rain, people living near the river had little warning before the floodwaters came rushing in on that terrible morning. United Nations aid chief Martin Griffiths described the scale of the flood as “appalling(令人惊骇的)” and blamed the flood partly on sudden climate change.
Now international aid teams are arriving in Derna, but they face challenges due to damaged roads, lack of access to power, water, and fuel. Tarhoni, doctor of the rescue team, warns that the most difficult weeks lie ahead. “One disaster is done and there is another to come,” he says. “The thousands and thousands of people who lost everything—these people now need comfort, they need company, they need psychological support.”
12. What do we know about Bujeldain's family from Paragraph 1
A. The explosion they heard led to the destruction of the dam.
B. Bujeldain saved her family from the floods with her bravery.
C. Bujeldain immediately recognised the outbreak of the floods.
D. For several days, they didn't fully realise the seriousness of the floods.
13. What does Bujeldain mean by saying they are “just ghosts in shells” in Paragraph 2
A. They run out of energy and are very tired.
B. They feel lucky as they are safe and sound.
C. They are completely saddened and shocked.
D. They are sorry for the loss of their homeland.
14. According to the passage, which of the following does NOT contribute to the loss of lives
A. The absence of warning. B. The extraordinary rainfall.
C. Unexpected climate change. D. The damage to environment.
15. What might be the main focus of international aid efforts in Derna
A. Addressing mental problems.
B. Providing immediate medical care.
C. Conducting climate change research.
D. Rebuilding roads and access to resources.

It's important to learn how we can protect the environment. Here are 5R rules for us.
Reduce. If you want to reduce waste, you should use things more wisely. 16 . If everyone uses paper carelessly, soon we would not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people don't know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to reduce the amount of waste we produce.
Reuse. You should always think of reusing things before throwing them away. For example, 17 . In a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters.
Recycle. Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By doing so we can save lots of time and money. For example, 18 . The metal can be used to make new coke cans.
Recover. 19 . You have two choices: one is to throw the apples away, the second is to throw the rotten ones and keep the good ones. In this way, you are recovering the eatable parts of food.
Repair. If one of the legs of your table is broken, you should repair it. If you want to buy something newer and better, it is better for you to sell the old table, or 20 .
Learn the rules to protect our environment. Let's try our best to make the earth cleaner and more beautiful.
A. give the clothes you do not use or the ones that are too small to the poor
B. coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed flat and melted
C. A large number of trees are being cut down to make paper
D. Trees are planted every year
E. give it to people who can use it after repairing it
F. Don't throw it away if you can use it
G. When you buy a box of apples, there may be a few rotten ones

To make us students know about how to protect ourselves during an earthquake, our school organized an earthquake emergency evacuation drill today.
Before the drill started, our teachers gave us some basic and useful instructions on what to do during an earthquake. When the alarm rang, students left the teaching building in order. Within a minute, all of the students gathered in the playground, for which we were praised by our headmaster.
This drill is really meaningful and helpful, from which we have learned some skills in dealing with emergencies in an earthquake.
