M: Oh, terrible! The heavy snow often causes traffic jams. Wait! It’s not only a traffic jam, but also an accident.
W: A traffic accident
M: Yes, I think so. Look! The truck hit a big tree. I think that’s because the driver drove too fast to stop.
W: I hope the driver isn’t hurt seriously.
M: Look! He is inside the truck and he can’t move.

I’m Mary. A storm hit Florida last Monday. I was doing the dishes when I heard strong winds outside my home. My mother was looking for some candles while my father was putting pieces of wood over the windows. When I woke up next day, the sun was rising. Everything was in a mess. The news on TV said the storm would come again tomorrow, so many people decided to leave the dangerous place for a while. My family went to my uncle’s home. His house wasn’t big enough, so I had to share a bed with my uncle’s daughter Cindy. We were worried about our house a lot, so we didn’t enjoy ourselves.

As a student, we should learn how to protect ourselves in an earthquake. First, we should keep calm. Don’t shout or cry. Instead, try to calm your mind. Second, find a safe place to stay. The buildings may fall down at any minute during an earthquake. If we are inside a building, we can stay under a desk and cover our heads with our arms. If we are in the open air, we should keep away from power lines, tall trees and tall buildings. Finally, remember never to use the lift when an earthquake happens.

考查情景交际。It’s wonderful! 太棒了！Lucky you! 你真幸运！It’s terrible! 太糟糕了！I am not sure! 我不确定！根据“— How was your weekend —...I got on the wrong bus and left my book on the bus too.”可知，句中搭错公交车和把书落在车上，这两件事均为负面经历，表达的是不愉快的感受。选项C“太糟糕了！”直接体现糟糕的心情，与“搭错车”和“丢书”的负面事件完全匹配，符合逻辑。故选C。
26．B
沙尘暴来的时候，布朗一家正在公共汽车站等车。
考查动词的时态。根据“when the sandstorm came”和句意可知，前后两个动作是同时发生，且动作发生在过去，所以此处时态为过去进行时，该句主语是The Browns，所以结构为：were+动词现在分词。故选B。
27．A

30．B
当我母亲在做饭时，我父亲在看报纸。

31．A
我的父母总是鼓励我尝试新事物，即使我可能会失败。
考查动词辨析和动词短语。encourage鼓励，encourage sb to do sth“鼓励某人做某事”；share分享，通常与with搭配；look forward期待，常用短语为look forward to；face面对；on在……上面；with和；to到。根据“My parents always…me…try new things, even if I might fail.”及动词原形try可知，父母鼓励我即使可能失败也要去尝试新事物，此处考查encourage sb to do sth。故选A。

考查固定搭配。used to be过去曾经是；is used to be结构错误；used to being搭配错误；is used to being习惯于。根据句意，此处应表达“过去曾经是”的含义。故选A。

72．根据第二段“They used hand tools because they were worried that machines might hurt anyone trapped (围困) under the rocks.”可知，救援人员使用手工工具的原因是担心机器会伤害被困者。故填Because they were worried that machines might hurt anyone trapped under the rocks.

Dear residents,
I truly feel honored to stand here and share some knowledge on how to keep safe with you when an earthquake happens.
First, if you are indoors, do not panic. Hide under a hard table and stay away from windows. Second, when the shaking stops, run out of the building quickly. If there is a fire, cover your mouth and nose with a wet cloth. Don’t use the elevator. Third, if you are outdoors, it is easier to stay safe. Keep away from streetlights and power lines. Always remember: Staying calm and knowing what to do can save your life.
Thanks for listening!

四、阅读理解（本题有15小题, 共30分）
A
Natural disaster warnings have evolved into life-saving systems worldwide, with China at the forefront of innovation. The country’s advanced meteorological network can detect incoming storms with remarkable precision, providing an average of 42 minutes of warning before landfall—a critical window for evacuation. This accuracy, exceeding 90%, is achieved through a combination of satellite radar, ground sensors, and AI algorithms that analyze atmospheric data in real time.
Drones have emerged as indispensable tools in disaster response. Equipped with high-resolution cameras and thermal imaging, they survey hard-to-reach areas to identify trapped survivors and assess damage. In coastal regions, the primary role of drones is to deliver emergency supplies like food and medicine to isolated communities when roads are impassable. Meanwhile, community alarm systems, ranging from loudspeakers to mobile app alerts, cut through noise and chaos, ensuring even the most vulnerable populations receive timely instructions.
These technologies have proven their worth in recent crises. During the 2023 Typhoon Liwei, early warnings allowed 1.2 million people to evacuate safely, reducing casualties by 85% compared to previous storms. Experts emphasize that while no system is foolproof, the layered approach of prediction, monitoring, and rapid communication has transformed how societies prepare for disasters. As climate change intensifies extreme weather, investing in such infrastructure remains non-negotiable for global safety.
46．How does China achieve high warning accuracy
A．Through ancient forecasting methods. B．By using AI and satellite technology.
C．By relying on volunteer observations. D．Through random data sampling.
47．What is the primary role of drones in disasters in coastal regions
A．Generating storm predictions. B．Providing entertainment for survivors.
C．Delivering supplies. D．Creating loud alarms.
48．What would be the best title for the passage
A．The History of Disaster Warnings B．The Role of Technology in Saving Lives
C．How to Build a Drone Fleet D．The Impact of Climate Change
B
Studying volcanoes is a demanding profession. Hazel Rymer frequently has to struggle through rainforests, climb to the top of mountains, then climb 200 metres into the crater of active volcanoes. But the 38-year-old volcanologist does her best to make it sound less alarming than it is. “Driving to work is more risky,” she insists. “And the deepest I go into the crater of a volcano is about 300 metres,” she adds, trying to make it all sound as ordinary as taking the dog for a walk.
Hazel has been studying volcanoes for a long time, so it’s not surprising she is used to the danger. Her interest in volcanoes began at school. A teacher gave her a book about Pompeii. “I remember reading about the eruption of Vesuvius and the destruction of the city,” she explains. “The thought of all those people just frozen in time had quite an effect on me and I am still excited by their dangerous beauty today.”
Nowadays, volcanoes are getting more and more unpredictable. There have been many changes in sea level caused by global warming and melting ice caps. These have resulted in some dormant volcanoes erupting, so studying them is more dangerous than ever before. Hazel says that although she doesn’t take any unnecessary risk, she has had some frightening moments. Her worst experience was on the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily, when she was slowly surrounded by lava. “I had a choice of walking ten hours to get around the lava flow or just walking across it,” she explains. She chose to pick a path across the cooler rocks in the lava stream. “I guess it was five metres. The flow was 1,000℃, so if you hesitated your boots would begin to melt. It was scary, but it really was a practical decision-there wasn’t time to do anything else.”
And what about the future “I haven’t been to the volcanoes in Indonesia yet. And I would love to spend some time working in the Antarctic,” she says. “I would also like to know why quiet lava flows erupt from some volcanoes and why other volcanoes go bang.” In other words, Hazel Rymer won’t be exchanging her volcanoes for the relative safety of driving to work just yet.
49．Hazel’s claim that “driving to work is more risky” than exploring volcanoes shows that ________.
A．people have exaggerated the dangers of volcanoes in the past
B．Hazel does not really understand the dangerous situations she puts herself in
C．there are many bad drivers in the place where Hazel lives
D．Hazel is being modest and understating the dangers she faces
50．When did Hazel first become interested in volcanoes
A．When she was visiting Italy. B．When she was at school.
C．When she was twenty. D．When she saw Vesuvius.
51．When Hazel was on Mount Etna, she had to ________.
A．take a dangerous path B．take an unnecessary risk
C．leave her boots behind D．walk for ten hours around the mountain
52．In the future, Hazel wants to ________.
A．drive to work B．go on holiday to the Antarctic
C．find a less dangerous job D．keep discovering new things about volcanoes

Answer the questions. (回答问题)
Just before midnight on July the 31st, 1997, some skiers returning to their hotel in the village of Thredbo heard a huge sound. The frightened skiers rushed to where the noise came from and found that part of the hillside above the village had dropped down onto two buildings in which nineteen people had been sleeping.
As soon as the day broke, rescue workers began digging for people alive. They used hand tools because they were worried that machines might hurt anyone trapped (围困) under the rocks. For two days, rescue workers never stopped digging. On Thursday evening they found the first body. The next day they found two more. They had almost given up hope of finding anyone alive when, at 5: 37 a. m. on Saturday morning, a special machine they were using found a small movement.
Immediately someone shouted to tell the workers to be silent. Everyone stopped talking, and no one moved. A fireman lay down over to a hole in a large piece of concrete (混凝土) and shouted down, “Can anyone hear me ” “I can hear you,” came the reply.
Worried that their digging could start more rocks falling down the mountain, rescue workers began carefully taking away the rocks and dirt on top of the trapped man. By 10 o’clock, a small hole had been made. At 10: 10 a. m. , rescue workers sent two tubes down through the hole, one carrying warm air and the other a warm drink. Then a microphone was passed through the hole so that they could talk to the man.
For the next seven hours, two workers talked to the trapped man while others slowly and carefully worked to free him. They found out that his name was Stuart Diver. By the time he was found, he was cold and hungry and had almost given up any hope of being rescued.
Finally, at 5: 17 p. m. on Saturday evening, Stuart was pulled out. Rescue workers all over the hillside began shouting with joy. In thousands of homes, people were also cheering as they watched the rescue on their television.
71．When did the disaster happen
72．Why did the rescue workers use hand tools to dig for the people alive
73．How did the rescue workers find Stuart Diver
74．How long did it take the rescue workers to save Stuart from under the rubble (碎石)
75．How was the whole rescue
