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

　　The year 1988 will not be forgotten for a long time at Yellowstone National Park.Fires broke out in June and burned until September.The fires were not put out completely until November.They covered almost half of the huge park.What caused such huge fires？ There are several answers to this question.
　　Lodgepole pines （美国黑松） make up 80 per cent of the park’s forests.These trees grow quickly， but they only live about 200 years.Then many of the pines die and are blown down by high winds.The trees lie on the forest floor for many years.In wet forests they would rot （腐烂） and turn back into soil， but it is too dry for this to happen in Yellowstone.In 1988， dead wood covered the forest floor.
　　Yellowstone usually gets a lot of snow in the winter.When the snow melts， it provides water for the plants.For six winters in the 1980s， little snow had fallen.Rain usually falls during the summer months， but 1988 was the driest summer in 116 years.
　　Several fires started in and near the park in June.Park officials fought the fires caused by human carelessness.They didn’t try to put out the fires started by lightning.They knew that fires help clean out the dead wood.When little rain fell in June and July， the fires became larger and larger.More than 17，000 acres had burned by 21 July.Park officials decided that it was time to fight all of the big fires.
　　On 23 July， strong winds blew the fires into new areas of the park.Firefighters battled the flames， but they had little success.On 20 August， 80-mile-per-hour winds swept through the park.This day became known as Black Saturday.Fires that had almost died out came back to life.No matter how hard the firefighters tried， they couldn’t control the flames.Snow and rain began to fall in September.Then the worst of the fires were put out.The remaining fires were put out by heavy snows in November.
5.How long did the fires at Yellowstone National Park last？（　　）
A.About 3 months.
B.About 4 months.
C.About 5 months.
D.About 7 months.
6.What reason for fires is mentioned in the third paragraph？（　　）
A.Dead wood.
B.Dry weather.
C.Great winds.
D.Human carelessness.
7.Why didn’t park officials try to put out the fires started by lightning？（　　）
A.They didn’t know about the fires.
B.They had no way to control them.
C.They knew fires could do no harm.
D.They knew fires would go out of itself.
8.Park officials decided to put out fires 　　　　.（　　）

C.20 days after they broke out D.one month after they broke out

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

10.B　细节理解题。根据第三段中的They found that both forms ...they communicated via text.可知，根据这项研究，打电话比发电子邮件有优势是因为它拉近了人们的距离。
11.A　细节理解题。根据第四段中的as they can organize information ...by the other person可知，人们认为发短信很方便是因为他们可以在不被打扰的情况下把自己的意思表达清楚。
12.C　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的it is able to figure out ...possible meanings behind words可知，人们可以通过电话更容易地相互理解。

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了父母应该告诉青少年关于友情的一些事情。

14.F　本部分指出友情是一种真实的联系。F项与空前一句对这种真实的联系作出了解释：让青少年开诚布公地说出自己的感受，且不用担心被评价。F项中的they指代上文中的teenagers， do so指代上文中的speak honestly and openly about how they are feeling。
15.B　B项（并不是所有的青少年友情都能天长地久）呼应本部分小标题Friendships Change，符合语境。B项中的teen， friendships， last与下文中的teens， Friendships， last是原词复现关系。
16.E　本部分指出青少年之间有矛盾很正常，青少年的友情可以帮助他们学会如何化解矛盾、谅解对方。由此可知，即使青少年之间有了争执，也并不意味着友情会结束，故E项符合语境。E项中的that指代上文中的have fights and disagreements。
17.D　本段是全文总结段，指出友情在青少年生活中很重要。根据空前一句可知，设空处应该与青少年友情的重要性有关，D项（它们是迈向成年的重要部分）符合语境。D项中的They指代上文中的teen friendships。

My Best Friend
　　It’s true that everyone has his or her best friend.My best friend is Li Ping， who is a lively and easy-going girl in my class.Not only does she do well in her academic subjects， but she is also ready to help others.

　　“Pretty” caught my attention since it was almost my favourite word. At that moment， I felt myself surrounded with a lot of warmth and love. I knew teachers would never lie. It was Miss Pratt who brought a lot of confidence to me. From that moment on， I made the decision to be one of the top students in my class to improve myself. Whatever it took and no matter how much time I would spend， I would try my best to succeed.
　　About two months later， the final exam result was announced and I got the first place. The moment Miss Pratt finished the announcement， the whole class cheered and clapped for me. For the first time I felt truly good about myself and I knew I had been motivated by Miss Pratt’s praise. This might not have occurred if I had not heard those kind words. Thank you so much， Miss Pratt！ What a great difference you have made！ I am determined to be a caring teacher like you！

　　In tears， Scarlett’s mother observed the little girl during the show. During the performance， Scarlett had the biggest eyes and smile， forgetting everything around. It seemed as if she had joined them， dancing with them. She felt so special. “After the show ended， they had some flowers falling from the ceiling， and she opened her bag to collect them as a sweet memory of the best day，” Scarlett’s mother said.
　　Then， Scarlett got to attend a private meet with the Rockettes dancers in person. “Scarlett kept saying， ‘You are perfect，’” her mom recalls. The dancers surprised her with a bag filled with gifts. “The minute I met Scarlett， I could see her eyes light up with joy，” said one of the professional dancers. “My favourite part of spending time with Scarlett was seeing her excitement as she talked about her love for dance， and for the Rockettes，” she added.

　　On 14 August 2021， Haiti was hit by a 7.2 magnitude earthquake.The quake destroyed thousands of buildings， injured over 5，700 people， and left at least 1，297 others dead.Haiti has declared a state of emergency.
　　The earthquake struck near the town of Petit Trou de Nippes， in the western part of the country.That’s roughly 125 kilometers west of the capital， Port-au-Prince.The earthquake did serious damage in two nearby cities， Les Cayes and Jeremie， with Les Cayes hit the hardest.Homes， schools， churches， and offices were seriously damaged.
　　The number of injured people was so high that local hospitals have been unable to keep up.A number of medical workers at the general hospital in Les Cayes were themselves trapped in a building.Across the area， people were searching through the rubble （废墟） for survivors.But the earthquake also caused landslides （塌方）， making the job even more difficult.There have been many aftershocks — smaller quakes which follow the main earthquake.With many buildings damaged by the earthquake， it’s not certain whether the buildings still standing in the area are safe.Many people are choosing to sleep outside rather than taking the risk of sleeping in a building.
　　Haiti has still not fully returned to normal from a 7.0 magnitude earthquake which destroyed much of Port-au-Prince and killed over 200，000 people in 2010.The country suffered again in 2016， when it was stricken by Hurricane Matthew， which caused huge damage in Haiti.Storm Grace is expected to reach Haiti on Monday， bringing heavy rainfall with it.
　　Several countries have offered to help Haiti.The government says the country won’t officially ask for outside help until it is clear how much damage there is in all.But Haiti is not a rich country， and the government may not have the money for major efforts to rebuild the damaged areas.
1.Which was worst affected by 2021’s earthquake？ （　　）
A.Port-au-Prince.
B.Jeremie.

　　Standing on the ruins after the fire where his house had been， Peter Ruprecht admitted that he was not sure how or when to rebuild it.He was still shocked by what Australia’s increasingly changeable climate had already delivered： first a drought， then a destructive bush fire， and then a foot of rain from a storm.
　　“It’s unstoppable，” said Mr Ruprecht， a former dairy farmer.“We speak about the warmth of Mother Nature， but nature can also be vicious， wild and unforgiving.”
　　Australia’s hellish （极不愉快的） fire season has eased， but its people are facing more than a single disaster.With floods destroying homes not far from where fires recently spread， they are facing a cycle of what scientists call “compound extremes”： one climate disaster strengthens the next.
　　Higher temperatures do more than just dry out the land.They also heat up the atmosphere， which means clouds hold more moisture （水汽） for longer periods of time.So droughts get worse， giving way to fires， then to heavy rains that the land is too dry to absorb.
　　Many Australians in disaster zones complain that their government， after ignoring climate change for years， has not yet worked out recovery plans that are clear and that take future risks into account.
　　At the same time， the economic costs of a changing climate are rising quickly.Philip Lowe， governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia， warned recently that Australia was already paying a price， and that in effect it would only go up.
5.Why is Peter Ruprecht mentioned in the beginning？（　　）
A.To arouse readers’ pity.
B.To introduce the topic.
C.To stress the problem.
D.To call on readers to help.
6.Which word can replace the underlined word “vicious” in Paragraph 2？（　　）
A.empty　 B.kind
C.responsible　 D.violent
7.What is the main cause of “compound extremes” in Australia？（　　）
A.The government’s inaction.
B.Higher temperatures.
C.The lack of money.
D.No recovery plans.
8.In which section of the newspaper can we read this passage？（　　）
A.Food.　 B.Travel.
C.Climate.　 D.Agriculture.

　　Fishing trips to Canada are a tradition for Jeffrey Hardy and his three friends from America.This summer in 2023， the forest air polluted with wildfire smoke forced the men to give up their mid-June fishing plan.Canada’s wildfire season put its tourism industry at a crucial time.
　　Except some days of poor air quality， major Canadian cities remain unaffected by wildfires.The fires are in the country’s northern areas that have drawn travelers interested in outdoor experiences in years past.
　　In a recent report by Destination Canada， a marketing organization， half of the total spent by international visitors is in Vancouver， Toronto and Montreal.But other Canadian destinations attractive to visitors have been affected by the wildfires.
　　In preparation for increasing visitor sizes and ongoing wildfires， some businesses are thinking about changing their operations， which see outdoor recreation （娱乐） as a tourism opportunity.A nonprofit travel agency is considering creating a questionnaire （调查问卷） for customers to show when they would cancel a booking because of road closes from the wildfires， poor air quality and a lack of visibility.
　　Tourism in British Columbia contributes greatly to its economy.The province has various recreational offerings， from the major ski destinations to hiking along the coast.Blackcomb， a helicopter tour company， has canceled its sightseeing offerings， using most of its helicopters on the firefighting effort until at least early August.“It’s the question of flying our customers around on sightseeing tours or putting out fires within 10 kilometers of our bases and the communities that we live in，” said Jordy Norris， the company’s tourism director.“We made it clear to both our staff and our customers that we have a duty to protect the backyard.”
　　Darrin Rigo， a photographer， recently saw a photo of a beautiful waterfall engulfed in fire on a media page.“I’m sure that’s not going to last long， and everything will turn to normal，” he said.
9.Which part of Canada is most affected by the wildfire？（　　）
A.Canada’s central part.

B.He is confident about the use of the questionnaire.
C.He is glad to join in the fight against the wildfire.
D.He is stressed about the fire’s effect on his company.
11.What does the underlined word “engulfed” in the last paragraph mean？（　　）

C.Rescued.　 D.Protected.
12.Which of the following can be the best title for the text？（　　）

　　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.
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？（　　）

　　Wild animals seem to have escaped the Indian Ocean tsunami， adding weight to the idea that they have a “sixth sense” of disasters， experts said on Thursday.
　　Sri Lanka wildlife officials have said the waves that killed over 24，000 people along the Indian Ocean island’s coast seemingly missed wildlife， with no dead animals found.
　　“No elephants are dead， not even a dead hare or rabbit.I think animals can sense the disaster.They have a ‘sixth sense’.They know when things are happening，” H.D.Ratnayake， director of Sri Lanka’s Wildlife Department， said on Wednesday.
　　The waves washed floodwaters up to 3 km inland at Yala National Park in the southeast， Sri Lanka’s biggest wildlife reserve and home to hundreds of wild elephants.“There has been a lot of evidence of dogs barking or birds migrating before volcanic eruptions or earthquakes.But it has not been proved，” said Matthew van Lierop， an animal behaviour specialist at Johannesburg Zoo.“There have been no specific studies because you can’t really test it in a lab or a field setting.” Other authorities agreed with this opinion.
　　“Wildlife seems to be able to pick up certain signs， especially birds.There are many reports of birds detecting coming disasters，” said Clive Walker， who has written several books on African wildlife.
　　Animals certainly rely on the known senses such as smell or hearing to avoid danger such as predators （掠食动物）.The idea of an animal “sixth sense” is a lasting one that the evidence of Sri Lanka’s damaged coast is likely to add to.

　　We reached Bukit Bendera the following day， and then wandered around the town for the rest of the afternoon， visiting our favorite shops.We were drinking tea in a cafe when we heard someone discussing an earthquake off Sumatra， an Indonesian island.After we returned to our hotel， we left for the beach.We went for a stroll on the beach， collecting shells along the way.When I looked up， I could see that the sunlight was more brilliant than I had imagined.Far away， I could see a big tree shaking under the sunlight.We didn’t think anything terrible was going to happen.All of a sudden， I realized something strange.It was as if the sea was moving away from the coast.I called my dad to check on this strange event.My dad took a look and his face went pale.In the distance we could see a gray line approaching the coast.It seemed to grow taller by the second.
