A
Floods
Basic Safety Tips
Turn around and don't drown!
Avoid walking or driving through flood waters.
If there is a chance of flash floods, try to move to a higher place. Flash floods are the No. 1 cause of weather related deaths.
If floodwaters rise around your car but the water is not moving, give up the car and move to higher ground. Do not leave the car enter moving water.
Avoid camping or parking along streams or rivers during heavy rainfall. These areas can flood quickly with little warning.
Flood Watch
Steps to Take
Turn on your TV/radio. You will receive the latest weather forecast and emergency instructions.
Know where to go. You may need to reach higher ground quickly.
Build or fill your emergency kit with something new. Include a flashlight, batteries, cash, and first aid supplies.
Bring in outdoor furniture and move important indoor items to the highest possible floor. This helps to protect them from flood damage.
Disconnect electrical appliances and do not touch electrical equipment if you are wet or standing in water.
If instructed, turn off your gas and electricity at the main switch or valve. This helps prevent fires and explosions.
Flood Warning
Steps to Take
Move quickly to higher ground or stay on high ground.
Avoid walking or driving through floodwaters. Turn around and don't drown! Just 6 inches of moving water can knock you down and 2 feet of water can sweep your vehicle away.
After a flood
Return home only when it is safe.
Do not try to drive through areas that are still flooded.
Photograph damage to your property for insurance purpose.
21．What shall we avoid during heavy rains according to the passage
A．Staying under trees.
B．Taking part in outdoor activities.
C．Walking alone in the street.
D．Driving along the rivers.
22．What does “Flood Watch” tell us to do
A．Be patient and take things easy.
B．Be friendly and get well organized.
C．Be brave and make wise decisions.
D．Be careful and get well prepared.
23．When shall we go back home
A．When we are sure it is no longer dangerous.
B．When we need to take pictures for insurance.
C．When the flood in our living area disappears.
D．When the gas and electricity supply are provided again.
B
My wife and I enjoy a well built home with a large yard. Our electricity comes from a pole in the street, our water from the city water company, and our natural gas from the natural gas supply company. We live in South Texas, the energy center of the world, so what's there to worry about
That's what a lot of folks thought until a devastating winter storm hit Texas. Many people were left without water, power or gas. Temperatures inside even the best built homes were dangerously low. Fortunately, our electricity and gas stayed on. Even if they hadn't, we were prepared for the worst. If we had lost our power and gas, we might have been uncomfortable, but we would have made it through thanks to our proactive preparation and my self sufficient skill set.
My knowledge of getting through that type of situation comes from a lifetime of surviving in difficult environments. I grew up on a farm in rural Arkansas, where my family was almost totally self sustaining. Later in life, I lived for three years in Fairbanks, Alaska, where living off the grid (电网) was a normal lifestyle and basic survival techniques were a practiced necessity. So, although my wife and I are currently on the grid, I'm familiar with what it takes to live a comfortable lifestyle when the power is cut off.
Perhaps the most important thing you can do to ensure your success living off the grid is to develop an energy conscious mindset. Living off the grid doesn't have to be a minimalist lifestyle like the kind I lived on the farm, but some of the same principles hold true, such as doing away with a clothes dryer and planning your wash days around the weather.
24．What does the underlined word “devastating” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．Demanding. B．Disastrous.
C．Delightful. D．Developing.
25．What would the writer do if he lost electricity and gas
A．Generate electricity himself.
B．Make proactive preparations.
C．Improve self sufficient skills.
D．Lead a relatively normal life.
26．How did the writer know about living through bad situations
A．By growing up on a farm.
B．By studying from the books.
C．By living a comfortable lifestyle.
D．By learning from his experience.
27．What is the best way to live off the grid
A．To be aware of saving energy.
B．To adopt a minimalist lifestyle.
C．To wash clothes on a rainy day.
D．To buy a high quality clothes dryer.
C
On September 7, 1991, the costliest hailstorm (雹暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary's southern suburbs. As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones. But farmers in east central Alberta—downwind of the hail project flights—worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.
Norman Stienwand, who farms in that area, has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years. “Basically, the provincial government is letting the insurance companies protect the Calgary Edmonton urban area from hail，” Mr. Stienwand says, “but they're increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”
The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a cloud physicist who works for Weather Modification Inc. of Fargo, North Dakota. “We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air, so we cannot be causing drought.” Dr. Krauss says. “In fact, we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.”
One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes (龙卷风) form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas，” Dr. Doswell says. “Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.”
Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “it would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud seeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.
28．What does the project aim to do
A．Conserve moisture in the soil.
B．Prevent the formation of hailstones.
C．Forecast disastrous hailstorms.
D．Investigate chemical use in farming.
29．Who are opposed to the project
A．Farmers in east central Alberta.
B．Managers of insurance companies.
C．Provincial government officials.
D．Residents of Calgary and Edmonton.
30．Why does Dr. Doswell mention the tornadoes he saw in 1999
A．To compare different kinds of seeding methods.
B．To illustrate the development of big hailstorms.
C．To indicate a possible danger of cloud seeding.
D．To show the link between storms and moisture.
31．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．Scientific studies have proved Stienwand right.
B．Private climate engineering is illegal in Canada.
C．The doubt about cloud seeding has disappeared.
D．Cloud seeding companies will continue to exist.
D
The time for action is now, at least when it comes to climate change. If we don't take measures that limit global warming, it may be impossible to stop its progress, according to a study.
The study claims that in 2035, we will cross a point of no return—after which it will be extremely unlikely that we can stop Earth's temperature from rising by 2 degrees Celsius (2℃) and kicking off dangerous global disasters.
The 2℃ mark is very important for Earth's well being. Once the planet warms an additional 2℃， scientists predict a range of disastrous effects, from widespread flooding in coastal areas to burning heat waves and extreme storms.
One important area that could slow the movement toward a point of no return in 2035 is the changing from fossil fuels (矿物燃料) to renewable energy sources. But even this will require significant progress. Scientists have figured that the share of renewables worldwide must grow by at least 2 percent each year in order to slow the process toward climate change. Two percent a year may not sound like much, but in the 20 years leading up to 2017, the percentage of energy from renewables grew by a poor total of 3.6 percent.
There is hope, though. If the use of renewable energy were to go beyond the scientists' model, say by 5 percent per each year, the climate change deadline (最后期限) could move back by at least a decade, the researchers note. Also, developing technology to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere could help slow climate change. These gases change Earth's atmosphere and allow it to capture more heat from the sun and cause temperatures to rise.
“We hope that ‘having a deadline’ may stimulate the sense of urgency to act for policy makers，” Henk Dijkstra, one of the study authors, said. “Very little time is left.”
32．What might happen once the Earth warms an additional 2℃？
A．The climate system will be rebuilt.
B．Global warming is uncontrollable.
C．Natural disasters become unavoidable.
D．Timely action will no longer be necessary.
33．What does the underlined “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A．The advances of scientific research.
B．The shift from fossil fuels to renewables.
C．The process of slowing down climate change.
D．The increase of public environmental awareness.
34．What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A．The limitation of scientists' model.
B．Possible solutions to slowing climate change.
C．The value of the “point of no return” concept.
D．Serious effects of greenhouse gases on Earth.
35．Why do the researchers set a deadline
A．To stress the need of global cooperation.
B．To call on people to use renewable energy.
C．To urge policy makers to take immediate action.
D．To show their determination to stop global warming.
第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
An earthquake happens when two plates rub together. The earth plates travel in different directions and at different speeds. __36__ In other words, earthquakes are the shaking of the earth's surface caused by the earth's rocky outer layer. The energy stored within is suddenly released.
The damage an earthquake causes depends on where it is and when it is happening. If an unpopulated region is struck, there will be low loss of life or property. __37__ Many of the areas at risk are largely populated now. Major earthquakes hitting those areas today could produce terrible damage.
__38__ Fortunately, however, most of them are unnoticed to the public because of the small Richter scale (震级). But large earthquakes such as the 1964 Alaskan quake that measured 9.2 on the Richter scale, can cause millions of dollars in damage.
__39__ In 1972, a series of severe earthquakes struck Managua, Nicaragua. Fifteen years later, the city still looked the way it had a week after the earthquake hit, because the city was in such a mess that it didn't have the money necessary to rebuild it.
The shaking of the earth is sometimes not the greatest disaster. __40__ In the 1906 earthquake, it was the fires caused after it that did the majority of the damage. An earthquake can also destroy dams high above a city or valleys, causing floods to sweep away everything in their path.
A．Actually, there are several million small earthquakes every year.
B．It is in the fires and floods that often the greatest damage occurs.
C．Throughout history, there are numerous destructive big earthquakes.
D．If it hits a large city, there may be many injuries and much destruction.
E．So it is of great importance to predict the movements of the earth plates.
F．If one plate is slowly forced under the other, pressure builds up until the plates break apart.
G．The destructive damage of an earthquake can continue for years after the first shake.

The community applauded for her as a hero, praising her unyielding determination and kindness in the face of __51__. But Amelia remained modest, __52__ that she had simply done what anyone would do in such a situation.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
At an early age, Bob was repeatedly told by his mother Markita, “Believe in yourself no matter what happens.” When Bob was 12, his mother traveled with him in a car. Slowly night fell. Bob was asleep in the front seat of the car. As Markita drove carefully down the winding dirt road, she turned onto a narrow bridge. As she did, the car hit a rock and ran off the road, and the right front wheel got stuck. Fearing the car would tip over, she attempted to drive it back onto the road by pressing hard on the gas pedal (油门) and turning the steering wheel (方向盘) to the left. But Bob's foot got caught between his mother's leg and the steering wheel and she lost control of the car.
The car rolled over and hit a deep valley. Bob could hardly get his breath back. “What happened, Mama？” he asked. “Our wheels are pointing toward the sky.”
Markita was blinded by blood. She was too painful to move and cry for help. “I'll get you out, Mama，” said Bob, who had luckily escaped injury. He managed to get out of the car through the open window and tried to pull his mother out. But she couldn't move. “Just let me sleep，” replied Markita, who seemed to be out of consciousness (意识). “No, Mama，” Bob continued. “You can't sleep.”
Bob reached her mother and tried to pull her out of the car, but failed. He then told her he'd climb up to the road and stop a car to get help. Fearing that no one would be able to see her little boy in the dark, Markita refused to let him go alone. Instead, Markita did her best to open the door. She moved inches at a time. The pain was so great that Markita wanted to give up, but Bob wouldn't let her.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
To keep his mother moving, Bob repeated the words his mother told him. About an hour later, Bob and his mother finally reached the road.

I read a story in a book the other day. It showed something important and I wanted to share it with you. The story was set in the years before cars were invented, so the rich had to travel in coaches. One day, a young lady wanted to watch a play in the theater. Her coachman took her to the theater in a coach. It was very cold. While she was watching the play, the poor coachman had to sit outside in the snow on the driver's seat of the coach looking after the horse. Inside the theater, the lady was moved to tears by the performance. Some actors in the play were in extremely poor situations. She showed great pity on them. However, when she came out and saw the coachman covered with snow and almost frozen to death, she just considered it as a normal part of life. Nowadays, whenever I see people in terrible situations on TV, I feel sad, wishing that I could do something to make a difference. But I often ignore people and things around me, like people who struggle with life. They lose their jobs, experience death in their family or suffer diseases. Help them as you can. This is the story. Is there anyone who can share something you read during the holidays in class

Floods
Basic Safety Tips
Turn around and don't drown!
Avoid walking or driving through flood waters.
If there is a chance of flash floods, try to move to a higher place. Flash floods are the No. 1 cause of weather related deaths.
If floodwaters rise around your car but the water is not moving, give up the car and move to higher ground. Do not leave the car enter moving water.
Avoid camping or parking along streams or rivers during heavy rainfall. These areas can flood quickly with little warning.
Flood Watch
Steps to Take
Turn on your TV/radio. You will receive the latest weather forecast and emergency instructions.
Know where to go. You may need to reach higher ground quickly.
Build or fill your emergency kit with something new. Include a flashlight, batteries, cash, and first aid supplies.
Bring in outdoor furniture and move important indoor items to the highest possible floor. This helps to protect them from flood damage.
Disconnect electrical appliances and do not touch electrical equipment if you are wet or standing in water.
If instructed, turn off your gas and electricity at the main switch or valve. This helps prevent fires and explosions.
Flood Warning
Steps to Take
Move quickly to higher ground or stay on high ground.
Avoid walking or driving through floodwaters. Turn around and don't drown! Just 6 inches of moving water can knock you down and 2 feet of water can sweep your vehicle away.
After a flood
Return home only when it is safe.
Do not try to drive through areas that are still flooded.
Photograph damage to your property for insurance purpose.

My wife and I enjoy a well built home with a large yard. Our electricity comes from a pole in the street, our water from the city water company, and our natural gas from the natural gas supply company. We live in South Texas, the energy center of the world, so what's there to worry about
That's what a lot of folks thought until a devastating winter storm hit Texas. Many people were left without water, power or gas. Temperatures inside even the best built homes were dangerously low. Fortunately, our electricity and gas stayed on. Even if they hadn't, we were prepared for the worst. If we had lost our power and gas, we might have been uncomfortable, but we would have made it through thanks to our proactive preparation and my self sufficient skill set.
My knowledge of getting through that type of situation comes from a lifetime of surviving in difficult environments. I grew up on a farm in rural Arkansas, where my family was almost totally self sustaining. Later in life, I lived for three years in Fairbanks, Alaska, where living off the grid (电网) was a normal lifestyle and basic survival techniques were a practiced necessity. So, although my wife and I are currently on the grid, I'm familiar with what it takes to live a comfortable lifestyle when the power is cut off.
Perhaps the most important thing you can do to ensure your success living off the grid is to develop an energy conscious mindset. Living off the grid doesn't have to be a minimalist lifestyle like the kind I lived on the farm, but some of the same principles hold true, such as doing away with a clothes dryer and planning your wash days around the weather.

On September 7, 1991, the costliest hailstorm (雹暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary's southern suburbs. As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones. But farmers in east central Alberta—downwind of the hail project flights—worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.
Norman Stienwand, who farms in that area, has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years. “Basically, the provincial government is letting the insurance companies protect the Calgary Edmonton urban area from hail，” Mr. Stienwand says, “but they're increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”
The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a cloud physicist who works for Weather Modification Inc. of Fargo, North Dakota. “We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air, so we cannot be causing drought.” Dr. Krauss says. “In fact, we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.”
One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes (龙卷风) form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas，” Dr. Doswell says. “Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.”
Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “it would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud seeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。加拿大的一些保险公司利用飞机在存在冰雹袭击风险的风暴中心播撒一种化学物质，使小冰晶在变成冰雹之前像雨一样落下，这一举动引起了人们的担忧。

The time for action is now, at least when it comes to climate change. If we don't take measures that limit global warming, it may be impossible to stop its progress, according to a study.
The study claims that in 2035, we will cross a point of no return—after which it will be extremely unlikely that we can stop Earth's temperature from rising by 2 degrees Celsius (2℃) and kicking off dangerous global disasters.
The 2℃ mark is very important for Earth's well being. Once the planet warms an additional 2℃， scientists predict a range of disastrous effects, from widespread flooding in coastal areas to burning heat waves and extreme storms.
One important area that could slow the movement toward a point of no return in 2035 is the changing from fossil fuels (矿物燃料) to renewable energy sources. But even this will require significant progress. Scientists have figured that the share of renewables worldwide must grow by at least 2 percent each year in order to slow the process toward climate change. Two percent a year may not sound like much, but in the 20 years leading up to 2017, the percentage of energy from renewables grew by a poor total of 3.6 percent.
There is hope, though. If the use of renewable energy were to go beyond the scientists' model, say by 5 percent per each year, the climate change deadline (最后期限) could move back by at least a decade, the researchers note. Also, developing technology to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere could help slow climate change. These gases change Earth's atmosphere and allow it to capture more heat from the sun and cause temperatures to rise.
“We hope that ‘having a deadline’ may stimulate the sense of urgency to act for policy makers，” Henk Dijkstra, one of the study authors, said. “Very little time is left.”
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了全球变暖的发展趋势和即将产生的危害，并敦促决策者要立即采取应对措施。
32．What might happen once the Earth warms an additional 2℃？
A．The climate system will be rebuilt.
B．Global warming is uncontrollable.
C．Natural disasters become unavoidable.
D．Timely action will no longer be necessary.
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Once the planet ... and extreme storms.”可知，一旦地球温度再升高2℃，就很可能无法避免发生自然灾害。故选C。
33．What does the underlined “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A．The advances of scientific research.
B．The shift from fossil fuels to renewables.
C．The process of slowing down climate change.
D．The increase of public environmental awareness.
答案：B
解析：指代判断题。根据第四段中的“One important area ... renewable energy sources.(一个可能会减缓2035年走向不可逆转的临界点的重要领域，是从化石燃料到可再生能源的转变。)”和画线词所在句“But even this will require significant progress.(但即使这样也需要取得重大进展。)”可知，this指代上句所提到的“从化石燃料到可再生能源的转变”。故选B。
34．What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A．The limitation of scientists' model.
B．Possible solutions to slowing climate change.
C．The value of the “point of no return” concept.
D．Serious effects of greenhouse gases on Earth.
答案：B
解析：段落大意题。根据第五段中的“If the use of ... slow climate change.(研究人员指出，如果可再生能源的使用超过科学家的范例，比如每年增加5%，那么气候变化的最后期限可能会推迟至少十年。此外，开发从大气中去除温室气体的技术也有助于减缓气候变化。)”可知，该段主要讲述了可能减缓气候变化的解决方案。故选B。
35．Why do the researchers set a deadline
A．To stress the need of global cooperation.
B．To call on people to use renewable energy.
C．To urge policy makers to take immediate action.
D．To show their determination to stop global warming.
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“We hope that ... for policy makers”可知，研究者们设定最后期限是为了敦促决策者立即采取行动。故选C。
第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
An earthquake happens when two plates rub together. The earth plates travel in different directions and at different speeds. __36__ In other words, earthquakes are the shaking of the earth's surface caused by the earth's rocky outer layer. The energy stored within is suddenly released.
The damage an earthquake causes depends on where it is and when it is happening. If an unpopulated region is struck, there will be low loss of life or property. __37__ Many of the areas at risk are largely populated now. Major earthquakes hitting those areas today could produce terrible damage.
__38__ Fortunately, however, most of them are unnoticed to the public because of the small Richter scale (震级). But large earthquakes such as the 1964 Alaskan quake that measured 9.2 on the Richter scale, can cause millions of dollars in damage.
__39__ In 1972, a series of severe earthquakes struck Managua, Nicaragua. Fifteen years later, the city still looked the way it had a week after the earthquake hit, because the city was in such a mess that it didn't have the money necessary to rebuild it.
The shaking of the earth is sometimes not the greatest disaster. __40__ In the 1906 earthquake, it was the fires caused after it that did the majority of the damage. An earthquake can also destroy dams high above a city or valleys, causing floods to sweep away everything in their path.
A．Actually, there are several million small earthquakes every year.
B．It is in the fires and floods that often the greatest damage occurs.
C．Throughout history, there are numerous destructive big earthquakes.
D．If it hits a large city, there may be many injuries and much destruction.
E．So it is of great importance to predict the movements of the earth plates.
F．If one plate is slowly forced under the other, pressure builds up until the plates break apart.
G．The destructive damage of an earthquake can continue for years after the first shake.

In order to enhance students' understanding of earthquakes, our school established an Earthquake Science Popularization Week last week, which focused on the formation of earthquakes, the harm of earthquakes, and their prevention and control methods. Our school specially invited experts to give lectures related to earthquakes, and allowed us to watch movies and read books related to earthquakes.
This series of activities have increased our awareness of earthquakes, helping us learn how to identify warning signals before earthquakes and conduct self rescue during earthquakes. Apart from teaching us knowledge, the Earthquake Science Popularization Week has also increased our interest in science.
第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
At an early age, Bob was repeatedly told by his mother Markita, “Believe in yourself no matter what happens.” When Bob was 12, his mother traveled with him in a car. Slowly night fell. Bob was asleep in the front seat of the car. As Markita drove carefully down the winding dirt road, she turned onto a narrow bridge. As she did, the car hit a rock and ran off the road, and the right front wheel got stuck. Fearing the car would tip over, she attempted to drive it back onto the road by pressing hard on the gas pedal (油门) and turning the steering wheel (方向盘) to the left. But Bob's foot got caught between his mother's leg and the steering wheel and she lost control of the car.
The car rolled over and hit a deep valley. Bob could hardly get his breath back. “What happened, Mama？” he asked. “Our wheels are pointing toward the sky.”
Markita was blinded by blood. She was too painful to move and cry for help. “I'll get you out, Mama，” said Bob, who had luckily escaped injury. He managed to get out of the car through the open window and tried to pull his mother out. But she couldn't move. “Just let me sleep，” replied Markita, who seemed to be out of consciousness (意识). “No, Mama，” Bob continued. “You can't sleep.”
Bob reached her mother and tried to pull her out of the car, but failed. He then told her he'd climb up to the road and stop a car to get help. Fearing that no one would be able to see her little boy in the dark, Markita refused to let him go alone. Instead, Markita did her best to open the door. She moved inches at a time. The pain was so great that Markita wanted to give up, but Bob wouldn't let her.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
To keep his mother moving, Bob repeated the words his mother told him. About an hour later, Bob and his mother finally reached the road.
写前导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了在Bob (鲍勃)12岁时和妈妈Markita (玛基塔)发生了车祸，车子掉到了一个深谷里。Bob没有受伤，但是妈妈因疼痛而无法动弹，大声呼救。Markita想放弃，Bob会怎么鼓励妈妈？历经磨难后的母子俩有什么感悟？
[精彩范文]
To keep his mother moving, Bob repeated the words his mother told him. “Believe in yourself. I know you can.” Bob kept talking to his mother. With time passing by, their effort paid off. When they were trying to step out of the valley, the sky was so bright and starry. Bob was able to see his mother's face clearly. He broke into tears. Above the valley, there came the light and the sound of cars on the road. They held each other, walking slowly to the main road.
About an hour later, Bob and his mother finally reached the road. There was a sign on the side of the road. They got to the sign and had a good rest. Meanwhile, Bob took off his clothes and waved his hands in the air. “Stop! Please stop！” the boy kept shouting. “We need help. Get my mama to a hospital.” Luckily, a driver saw him from the window and pulled up. He rushed them to the nearby hospital. Now, Markita has recovered from injuries. She said, “If it hadn't been for Bob, I'd have died.”

I read a story in a book the other day. It showed something important and I wanted to share it with you. The story was set in the years before cars were invented, so the rich had to travel in coaches. One day, a young lady wanted to watch a play in the theater. Her coachman took her to the theater in a coach. It was very cold. While she was watching the play, the poor coachman had to sit outside in the snow on the driver's seat of the coach looking after the horse. Inside the theater, the lady was moved to tears by the performance. Some actors in the play were in extremely poor situations. She showed great
pity on them. However, when she came out and saw the coachman covered with snow and almost frozen to death, she just considered it as a normal part of life. Nowadays, whenever I see people in terrible situations on TV, I feel sad, wishing that I could do something to make a difference. But I often ignore people and things around me, like people who struggle with life. They lose their jobs, experience death in their family or suffer diseases. Help them as you can. This is the story. Is there anyone who can share something you read during the holidays in class
17．Who is probably the speaker

Floods
Basic Safety Tips
Turn around and don't drown!
Avoid walking or driving through flood waters.
If there is a chance of flash floods, try to move to a higher place. Flash floods are the No. 1 cause of weather related deaths.
If floodwaters rise around your car but the water is not moving, give up the car and move to higher ground. Do not leave the car enter moving water.
Avoid camping or parking along streams or rivers during heavy rainfall. These areas can flood quickly with little warning.
Flood Watch
Steps to Take
Turn on your TV/radio. You will receive the latest weather forecast and emergency instructions.
Know where to go. You may need to reach higher ground quickly.
Build or fill your emergency kit with something new. Include a flashlight, batteries, cash, and first aid supplies.
Bring in outdoor furniture and move important indoor items to the highest possible floor. This helps to protect them from flood damage.
Disconnect electrical appliances and do not touch electrical equipment if you are wet or standing in water.
If instructed, turn off your gas and electricity at the main switch or valve. This helps prevent fires and explosions.
Flood Warning
Steps to Take
Move quickly to higher ground or stay on high ground.
Avoid walking or driving through floodwaters. Turn around and don't drown! Just 6 inches of moving water can knock you down and 2 feet of water can sweep your vehicle away.
After a flood
Return home only when it is safe.
Do not try to drive through areas that are still flooded.
Photograph damage to your property for insurance purpose.

My wife and I enjoy a well built home with a large yard. Our electricity comes from a pole in the street, our water from the city water company, and our natural gas from the natural gas supply company. We live in South Texas, the energy center of the world, so what's there to worry about
That's what a lot of folks thought until a devastating winter storm hit Texas. Many people were left without water, power or gas. Temperatures inside even the best built homes were dangerously low. Fortunately, our electricity and gas stayed on. Even if they hadn't, we were prepared for the worst. If we had lost our power and gas, we might have been uncomfortable, but we would have made it through thanks to our proactive preparation and my self sufficient skill set.
My knowledge of getting through that type of situation comes from a lifetime of surviving in difficult environments. I grew up on a farm in rural Arkansas, where my family was almost totally self sustaining. Later in life, I lived for three years in Fairbanks, Alaska, where living off the grid (电网) was a normal lifestyle and basic survival techniques were a practiced necessity. So, although my wife and I are currently on the grid, I'm familiar with what it takes to live a comfortable lifestyle when the power is cut off.
Perhaps the most important thing you can do to ensure your success living off the grid is to develop an energy conscious mindset. Living off the grid doesn't have to be a minimalist lifestyle like the kind I lived on the farm, but some of the same principles hold true, such as doing away with a clothes dryer and planning your wash days around the weather.
篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者就得克萨斯州暴雪断电情况发表自己的感想：要防患于未然，培养即使脱离电网也能正常生活的能力。

25．What would the writer do if he lost electricity and gas
A．Generate electricity himself.
B．Make proactive preparations.
C．Improve self sufficient skills.
D．Lead a relatively normal life.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“If we had lost our power ... my self sufficient skill set.”可知，如果作者失去了电和煤气，他将过上相对正常的生活。故选D。
26．How did the writer know about living through bad situations
A．By growing up on a farm.
B．By studying from the books.
C．By living a comfortable lifestyle.
D．By learning from his experience.

27．What is the best way to live off the grid
A．To be aware of saving energy.
B．To adopt a minimalist lifestyle.
C．To wash clothes on a rainy day.
D．To buy a high quality clothes dryer.
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Perhaps the most important thing ... develop an energy conscious mindset. (也许你能做的最重要的事情是培养一种有能量意识的心态，以确保你在脱离电网的生活中取得成功。)”可知，意识到节约能源是脱离电网生活的最佳方式。故选A。
C
On September 7, 1991, the costliest hailstorm (雹暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary's southern suburbs. As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones. But farmers in east central Alberta—downwind of the hail project flights—worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.
Norman Stienwand, who farms in that area, has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years. “Basically, the provincial government is letting the insurance companies protect the Calgary Edmonton urban area from hail，” Mr. Stienwand says, “but they‘re increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”
The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a cloud physicist who works for Weather Modification Inc. of Fargo, North Dakota. “We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air, so we cannot be causing drought.” Dr. Krauss says. “In fact, we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.”
One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes (龙卷风) form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas，” Dr. Doswell says. “Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.”
Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “it would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud seeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。加拿大的一些保险公司利用飞机在存在冰雹袭击风险的风暴中心播撒一种化学物质，使小冰晶在变成冰雹之前像雨一样落下，这一举动引起了人们的担忧。
28．What does the project aim to do
A．Conserve moisture in the soil.
B．Prevent the formation of hailstones.
C．Forecast disastrous hailstorms.
D．Investigate chemical use in farming.
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Airplanes seed threatening storm ... grow into dangerous hailstones.(飞机在存在冰雹袭击风险的风暴中心播撒一种化学物质，使小冰晶在变成危险的冰雹之前像雨一样落下。)”可知，这个项目的目标是防止冰雹的形成。故选B。
29．Who are opposed to the project
A．Farmers in east central Alberta.
B．Managers of insurance companies.
C．Provincial government officials.
D．Residents of Calgary and Edmonton.
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But farmers in east central Alberta ... by the cloud seeding.(但是位于防雹工程飞行作业的下风区的阿尔伯塔省中东部的农民们对该计划表示担忧，他们认为宝贵的水分正被人工降雨从他们干旱的土地上偷走。)”可知，阿尔伯塔省中东部的农民反对这个项目。故选A。
30．Why does Dr. Doswell mention the tornadoes he saw in 1999
A．To compare different kinds of seeding methods.
B．To illustrate the development of big hailstorms.
C．To indicate a possible danger of cloud seeding.
D．To show the link between storms and moisture.
解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“One doubter about the safety ... Dr. Doswell says.”可知，Chuck Doswell (查克·多斯韦尔)对人工降雨的安全性持怀疑态度，并曾目睹了从投放了人工增雨物质的风暴中心形成的巨大龙卷风，由此可推知，Doswell博士提到他在1999年看到的龙卷风是为了表明人工降雨可能带来的危险。故选C。
31．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．Scientific studies have proved Stienwand right.
B．Private climate engineering is illegal in Canada.
C．The doubt about cloud seeding has disappeared.
D．Cloud seeding companies will continue to exist.
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Due to the lack ... cloud－seeding companies.(由于缺乏科学依据，没有人成功赢得对人工降雨公司的诉讼。)”可推知，人工降雨公司将继续存在。故选D。

The time for action is now, at least when it comes to climate change. If we don't take measures that limit global warming, it may be impossible to stop its progress, according to a study.
The study claims that in 2035, we will cross a point of no return—after which it will be extremely unlikely that we can stop Earth's temperature from rising by 2 degrees Celsius (2℃) and kicking off dangerous global disasters.
The 2℃ mark is very important for Earth's well being. Once the planet warms an additional 2℃， scientists predict a range of disastrous effects, from widespread flooding in coastal areas to burning heat waves and extreme storms.
One important area that could slow the movement toward a point of no return in 2035 is the changing from fossil fuels (矿物燃料) to renewable energy sources. But even this will require significant progress. Scientists have figured that the share of renewables worldwide must grow by at least 2 percent each year in order to slow the process toward climate change. Two percent a year may not sound like much, but in the 20 years leading up to 2017, the percentage of energy from renewables grew by a poor total of 3.6 percent.
There is hope, though. If the use of renewable energy were to go beyond the scientists' model, say by 5 percent per each year, the climate change deadline (最后期限) could move back by at least a decade, the researchers note. Also, developing technology to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere could help slow climate change. These gases change Earth's atmosphere and allow it to capture more heat from the sun and cause temperatures to rise.
“We hope that ‘having a deadline’ may stimulate the sense of urgency to act for policy makers，” Henk Dijkstra, one of the study authors, said. “Very little time is left.”
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了全球变暖的发展趋势和即将产生的危害，并敦促决策者要立即采取应对措施。
32．What might happen once the Earth warms an additional 2℃？
A．The climate system will be rebuilt.
B．Global warming is uncontrollable.
C．Natural disasters become unavoidable.
D．Timely action will no longer be necessary.
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Once the planet ... and extreme storms.”可知，一旦地球温度再升高2℃，就很可能无法避免发生自然灾害。故选C。
33．What does the underlined “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A．The advances of scientific research.
B．The shift from fossil fuels to renewables.
C．The process of slowing down climate change.
D．The increase of public environmental awareness.
解析:指代判断题。根据第四段中的“One important area ... renewable energy sources.(一个可能会减缓2035年走向不可逆转的临界点的重要领域，是从化石燃料到可再生能源的转变。)”和画线词所在句“But even this will require significant progress.(但即使这样也需要取得重大进展。)”可知，this指代上句所提到的“从化石燃料到可再生能源的转变”。故选B。：
34．What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A．The limitation of scientists' model.
B．Possible solutions to slowing climate change.
C．The value of the “point of no return” concept.
D．Serious effects of greenhouse gases on Earth.
解析：段落大意题。根据第五段中的“If the use of ... slow climate change.(研究人员指出，如果可再生能源的使用超过科学家的范例，比如每年增加5%，那么气候变化的最后期限可能会推迟至少十年。此外，开发从大气中去除温室气体的技术也有助于减缓气候变化。)”可知，该段主要讲述了可能减缓气候变化的解决方案。故选B。
35．Why do the researchers set a deadline
A．To stress the need of global cooperation.
B．To call on people to use renewable energy.
C．To urge policy makers to take immediate action.
D．To show their determination to stop global warming.
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“We hope that ... for policy makers”可知，研究者们设定最后期限是为了敦促决策者立即采取行动。故选C。
第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
An earthquake happens when two plates rub together. The earth plates travel in different directions and at different speeds. __36__ In other words, earthquakes are the shaking of the earth's surface caused by the earth's rocky outer layer. The energy stored within is suddenly released.
The damage an earthquake causes depends on where it is and when it is happening. If an unpopulated region is struck, there will be low loss of life or property. __37__ Many of the areas at risk are largely populated now. Major earthquakes hitting those areas today could produce terrible damage.
__38__ Fortunately, however, most of them are unnoticed to the public because of the small Richter scale (震级). But large earthquakes such as the 1964 Alaskan quake that measured 9.2 on the Richter scale, can cause millions of dollars in damage.
__39__ In 1972, a series of severe earthquakes struck Managua, Nicaragua. Fifteen years later, the city still looked the way it had a week after the earthquake hit, because the city was in such a mess that it didn't have the money necessary to rebuild it.
The shaking of the earth is sometimes not the greatest disaster. __40__ In the 1906 earthquake, it was the fires caused after it that did the majority of the damage. An earthquake can also destroy dams high above a city or valleys, causing floods to sweep away everything in their path.
A．Actually, there are several million small earthquakes every year.
B．It is in the fires and floods that often the greatest damage occurs.
C．Throughout history, there are numerous destructive big earthquakes.
D．If it hits a large city, there may be many injuries and much destruction.
E．So it is of great importance to predict the movements of the earth plates.
F．If one plate is slowly forced under the other, pressure builds up until the plates break apart.
G．The destructive damage of an earthquake can continue for years after the first shake.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了地震形成的原因、影响等。
36．答案：F
解析：根据上文“An earthquake happens ... at different speeds. (当两个板块相互摩擦时，就会发生地震。地球板块以不同的方向和速度运动。)”可知，设空处应提及“运动导致地震”有关的话题。F项(如果一个板块被慢慢压在另一个板块下面，压力就会积聚起来，直到板块破裂。)符合语境。故选F。
37．答案：D
解析：根据下文“Many of the areas ... produce terrible damage.”可知，袭击人口众多的地区的大地震可能会造成可怕的破坏。D项(如果它袭击一个大城市，可能会有很多人受伤和造成很大破坏。)引出下文。故选D。
38．答案：A
解析：根据下文“Fortunately, however ... millions of dollars in damage.”可知，由于里氏震级较小，大多数地震都没有引起公众的注意。A项(事实上，每年都有几百万次小地震。)引出下文。故选A。
39．答案：G

Our school specially invited experts to give lectures related to earthquakes, and allowed us to watch movies and read books related to earthquakes.
This series of activities have increased our awareness of earthquakes, helping us learn how to identify warning signals before earthquakes and conduct self rescue during earthquakes. Apart from teaching us knowledge, the Earthquake Science Popularization Week has also increased our interest in science.
第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
At an early age, Bob was repeatedly told by his mother Markita, “Believe in yourself no matter what happens.” When Bob was 12, his mother traveled with him in a car. Slowly night fell. Bob was asleep in the front seat of the car. As Markita drove carefully down the winding dirt road, she turned onto a narrow bridge. As she did, the car hit a rock and ran off the road, and the right front wheel got stuck. Fearing the car would tip over, she attempted to drive it back onto the road by pressing hard on the gas pedal (油门) and turning the steering wheel (方向盘) to the left. But Bob's foot got caught between his mother's leg and the steering wheel and she lost control of the car.
The car rolled over and hit a deep valley. Bob could hardly get his breath back. “What happened, Mama？” he asked. “Our wheels are pointing toward the sky.”
Markita was blinded by blood. She was too painful to move and cry for help. “I'll get you out, Mama，” said Bob, who had luckily escaped injury. He managed to get out of the car through the open window and tried to pull his mother out. But she couldn't move. “Just let me sleep，” replied Markita, who seemed to be out of consciousness (意识). “No, Mama，” Bob continued. “You can't sleep.”
Bob reached her mother and tried to pull her out of the car, but failed. He then told her he'd climb up to the road and stop a car to get help. Fearing that no one would be able to see her little boy in the dark, Markita refused to let him go alone. Instead, Markita did her best to open the door. She moved inches at a time. The pain was so great that Markita wanted to give up, but Bob wouldn't let her.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
To keep his mother moving, Bob repeated the words his mother told him.﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍
About an hour later, Bob and his mother finally reached the road. ﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍

To keep his mother moving, Bob repeated the words his mother told him. “Believe in yourself. I know you can.” Bob kept talking to his mother. With time passing by, their effort paid off. When they were trying to step out of the valley, the sky was so bright and starry. Bob was able to see his mother's face clearly. He broke into tears. Above the valley, there came the light and the sound of cars on the road. They held each other, walking slowly to the main road.
About an hour later, Bob and his mother finally reached the road. There was a sign on the side of the road. They got to the sign and had a good rest. Meanwhile, Bob took off his clothes and waved his hands in the air. “Stop! Please stop！” the boy kept shouting. “We need help. Get my mama to a hospital.” Luckily, a driver saw him from the window and pulled up. He rushed them to the nearby hospital. Now, Markita has recovered from injuries. She said, “If it hadn't been for Bob, I'd have died.”
