“The world should help Africa invest (投资) in the health and education of Africa’s
younger generation to help fight poverty,” said Bill Gates, whose foundation released its annual
report on Tuesday. The report measured progress towards achieving UN poverty_reducing goals in 2030. The report tracks 18 data points on UN development goals, including child deaths, HIV,
extreme poverty, and so on.
“While the poverty rate is decreasing globally, the fast population growth in Africa could
delay that progress. Therefore, it could even rise,” the report warns. “If those investments were
made properly, young Africans will help develop the economy and the population growth will fall, as has been the case in other countries,” said the report.
The report showed that by 2050, over 40% of extremely poor people in the world will live in just two countries: Congo and Nigeria. “The challenge of population growth in Africa leads to a simple idea that the world should help Africa invest in the health and the education of this young
试卷第 3 页,共 13 页
generation in Africa,” Gates told journalists. Asked how to meet the growing population and poverty challenge, Gates said improving access to birth control was the key.
In its family planning section, the report called on policymakers to enable women to have the right to choose the number of children they have, and when they have them. According to UN data, Africa will account for over half of the world’s population growth by 2050. Yet if every
woman in Africa could decide the number of their children, the population increase could be 30% smaller. This would also enable more girls and women to stay in school longer, get married and
have children later. Smaller families tend to be healthier and more productive.
The report also mentioned great progress from Brazil on nutrition, Indonesia for family planning and Vietnam for the quality of education.
21 .The purpose of releasing the report is to .
A .tell us about UN poverty-reducing goals
B .call on the world to help Africa fight poverty
C .introduce ways to develop the economy worldwide
D .state the progress made in health and education last year
22 .What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to
A .The poverty rate. B .The population of Africa.
C .The income of Africans. D .The progress of education.
23 .What does Bill Gates think is an effective way to fight poverty in Africa
A .Controlling the population birth rate.
B .Allowing girls to be educated in school longer.
C .Giving young people more chances to study abroad.
D .Encouraging young people to make more investments.

An elderly woman was successfully rescued by a Chinese rescue team from hospital ruins in Myanmar’s capital, Nay Pyi Daw, on Sunday morning, after the serious earthquake struck on Friday. “When she was carried onto a stretcher by rescuers, everyone there was excited,” said Mu Shuyuan, from China’s Yunnan province rescue and medical team.
At Ottara Thiri Private Hospital, a three-story building was severely damaged, with the
试卷第 4 页,共 13 页
ground floor completely collapsed. Using a sign of life detector, Mu’s team located a survivor
trapped under the collapsed floor. A 73-year-old woman was trapped in a narrow space between the second and first floors. Mu’s deputy Xiao Min crawled in the rubble (瓦砾), shone a flashlight in the space and called out loudly in Mandarin with a Guizhou accent, “Don’t be afraid. We are
here to rescue you!” Realizing a language barrier, Xiao immediately called for a translator to
communicate the message, and a faint response was heard emanating from deep within the debris (碎片).
Due to the complex environment, they made a rescue plan along with local emergency
workers. “During the rescue process, we had to consider that drilling vibrations might cause
concrete blocks to fall, causing secondary harm to the trapped individuals. Avoiding this harm was the most challenging.” Xiao said.
After drilling two access holes, they still could not reach the woman, then drilled a third hole, which enabled them to remove the bodies of two dead people on top of the woman. At
4:56am on Sunday, after being trapped for nearly 40 hours, she was successfully rescued. “Make sure to lift steadily and slowly” Xiao repeatedly instructed those carrying the stretcher. When she was safely placed in an ambulance, he let out a sigh of relief.
24 .What does the word “emanating” in paragraph 2 most probably mean
A .Repeating loudly. B .Coming out slightly.
C .Changing quickly. D .Disappearing suddenly.
25 .What can be inferred about the Chinese rescue team
A .They lacked professional training. B .They arrived later than other teams.
C .They focused only on medical rescue. D .They cooperated effectively with locals.
26 .What was the biggest challenge in rescuing the elderly woman
A .Locating her exact position. B .Communicating with the victim.
C .Preventing secondary injuries. D .Transporting medical equipment.
27 .What is the main purpose of the passage
A .To explain how life detectors work. B .To introduce Chinese medical technology.
C .To report a successful international rescue. D .To describe earthquake damage in Myanmar.

Earthquakes are terrifying, even if they are usually brief. Within a few seconds they can do widespread destruction, causing great structural damage, shifting landmasses, and triggering
tsunamis. Not all earthquakes are so short-lived, either. Earthquakes can last for minutes and even longer. Some slow-slip events, which may be related to earthquakes, can even last decades. What causes an earthquake to last so long
In 2004, a 9.1 to 9.3 magnitude earthquake rocked the Indonesian island of Sumatra. A
quarter of a million people died or went missing in the tsunami that followed. It was one of the strongest and longest earthquakes recorded, with shaking lasting for 10 minutes. The 1960
Valdivia earthquake in Chile was the strongest ever recorded, with a magnitude from 9.4 to 9.6. The fault (断层) that ruptured was anywhere from 500 to 1,000 km long, and the resulting
earthquake left about 2 million people homeless.
Both of these were what is called megathrust earthquakes, and they happen when one
tectonic plate (大陆板块) slips under another. As one plate sinks, sometimes it gets stuck. Tension builds as the plates accumulate energy. Eventually, this tension is released. These are the world’s most powerful earthquakes, and unfortunately, they are often some of the longest as well.
In general, the stronger the earthquake, the longer it is. As a general rule, the size and
duration of an earthquake depend on the length of the fault that slips. When an earthquake begins, we do not necessarily know how big it will be or how long it will last. “You can think about an
earthquake like a crack that grows over time,” explains an American geophysicist. “Like on your windshield, you get a little crack and then it grows, it grows, it grows. Well, an earthquake
essentially does the same thing.”
While earthquakes are terrifying to live through, they are also a sign of a dynamic and
living planet. Understanding where, when, how strong, and how long earthquakes are can help us to better understand why they happen. Perhaps one day, we may even be able to predict them.
28 .According to the passage, what kind of destruction may earthquakes bring
A .Great structural damage and climate change.
B .Landmass shifts and tsunami occurrence.
C .Species extinction and water pollution.
D .People’s homelessness and global warming.
29 .How is Paragraph 3 developed
试卷第 6 页,共 13 页
A .By providing definitions or explanations.
B .By making comparisons and contrasts.
C .By using a narrative or chronological order.
D .By explaining the cause and effect.
30 .Why are the physicist’s words mentioned in Paragraph 4
A .To remind us of the severity of cracks in the windshield.
B .To prove the danger that earthquakes bring to humans.
C .To help us better understand the nature of earthquakes.
D .To emphasize the extremely long duration of earthquakes.
31 .What is the author’s attitude towards earthquakes
A .Optimistic. B .Pessimistic. C .Objective. D .Indifferent.

Seven people have died in a landslide caused by pouring rains in Indonesia’s Sumatra
island, officials said on Thursday, adding to the death toll (死亡人数) from landslides in the
region this week. Rescuers recovered the bodies of the victims, including a driver and passengers, from a tourist bus that was covered by trees, mud, and rocks in the landslide on the road from
Medan city to Berastagi town in Indonesia’s North Sumatra province. The route is the main access from the capital Medan to other districts in the region.
The bus was among vehicles that had been cut off by landslides on the road since
Wednesday morning. More than 10 people were also injured and have been relocated to the hospital in Medan city.
Muji Ediyanto, traffic director of the North Sumatra Regional Police, said in a video
message distributed by Indonesia’s National Search and Rescue Agency on Thursday that some vehicles remain trapped between the landslide locations along that road. “It will take at least two days to withdraw them from the landslide. Several vehicles are still trapped by piles from the
landslides. There are also fallen trees at several points and landslides and the vehicles have not been able to get out of the locations,” Ediyanto said.
Earlier this week, 20 people died after flash floods and landslides at four locations in the mountainsides of North Sumatra province, including Karo regency that is located less than 20
试卷第 7 页,共 13 页
kilometers from the most-recent landslide location.
Seasonal rains from around October through to March frequently cause flooding and
landslides in Indonesia, an archipelago (群岛) of 17,000 islands where millions of people live in mountainous areas or near fertile (肥沃的) flood plains.
32 .What happened to the tourist bus
A .It was hit by fallen rocks alone. B .It disappeared in sudden flash floods.
C .Most passengers in it were rescued immediately. D .It was buried by a mixture of mud and stones.
33 .Why will road clearance take two days
A .Fallen trees block the roadway. B .Rescue tools are insufficient.
C .Landslides are still occurring. D .The injured hold up the traffic.
34 .What can we learn about landslides in Indonesia
A .They often happen in urban areas. B .They are predictable and preventable.
C .They primarily affect agricultural land. D .They are common during certain months.
35 .What is the best title for the passage
A .Flash Floods Made 20 People Lose Their Life
B .Seasonal Rains Damage Facilities in Indonesia
C .Landslides Cause Heavy Death Loss in Indonesia
D .Rescuers Perform Operations on Medan-Berastagi Road

If you lived in Antarctica, the continent which is the most southern area of land on the Earth, you’d get to experience icequakes nearly every day.
What is an icequake The name might make you think of earthquakes. 36 Both
icequakes and earthquakes cause the ground to shake. They can both be measured by instruments called seismographs. The biggest difference between the two is how they’re caused.
Many people already know what causes earthquakes. Icequakes, on the other hand, happen
试卷第 8 页,共 13 页
when water in the ground freezes (结冰) very quickly. When water freezes, it expands (膨胀).
37 In some cases, it can even cause cracks (裂缝) in the ground above.
38 Experts there say Earth’s coldest continent has had hundreds of thousands of
them in recent years. They’ve also shared that most icequakes happen at night when temperatures drop.
Why is Antarctica experiencing so many icequakes You might imagine the very low
temperatures are the cause. 39 Rising temperatures cause Antarctic ice to melt (融化). This makes water that can freeze again to cause an icequake.
What does an icequake feel like 40 Often, people don’t feel them at all. But they can usually hear an icequake. It makes a loud pop.
Do icequakes only happen in Antarctica No! They also take place in Greenland, most often near glaciers (冰川). You might also hear an icequake in Canada, as well as in the
midwestern and northeastern United States.
A .But earthquakes can often cause fires.
B .In some ways, the two are very similar.
C .Icequakes are common across Antarctica.
D .Icequakes make a loud noise that’s hard to miss.
E .Most of them are much weaker than earthquakes.
F .But they are actually on the rise because of warmer weather.
G .As groundwater becomes ice, it breaks up the soil and rocks around it.

Another wildly bright lightning along with a thunder cracked in the sky! Mary swiftly threw herself into her Mum’s arms, burying her face into her chest and trembling with fright. “I think we should leave here right away!” She murmured in a crying tone. Instantly, Dad refused her request again for the fact that the city had already been flooded severely. As he saw through their window, the almost three-meter-high floodwater had already surrounded the apartment building like a wide river, several cars floating on it just like boats.
“Black out!” Mary gasped fearfully, the wind roaring and the rain beating on the roof and windows, which made her even more nervous in the whole darkness. Mum took Mary’s hand and carefully led her to sit on the sofa, trying her best to comfort her. While she performed calmly,
Mary could tell she was nervous too. “Let’s try to find a light source first and then see what other supplies we have.” Dad made an arrangement. Luckily, there was a flashlight, some packages of instant noodles, bread and some drinking water, which may help them get through the toughness for the half of the night. Without saying a single word, Dad turned on the flashlight, sat down and hugged his wife and daughter. The sudden silence in the house seemed to make the wind and rain more frightening outside. Only the light of the flashlight could now give them some warmth and a sense of little hope.
“What about Mrs. Thomson Old and weak, she must be extremely helpless.” Mum said with
great concern when she thought about their nice neighbor who lived alone upstairs of the same
building. After a brief discussion, Mum and Dad decided they should go and check whether Mrs. Thomson was fire. Mary, with heavy breath and pounding heart, stood up immediately, ready to bring all their supplies to Mrs. Thomson’s house.注意:

【原文】Good evening, everyone. This is your weather update. September has brought a series of weather crises to the Northern Hemisphere. Flooding from unusually heavy rains across northwest and north-central Africa has taken more than 1,000 lives and driven close to 1 million from their
homes. Storm Boris has set off days of heavy rainfall, caused billions in damage, and forced tens of thousands to evacuate flooded cities in Central Europe. Meanwhile, Typhoon Yagi has struck the Philippines and northern Vietnam and has taken more than 500 lives and cost over 13 billion dollars. These events have something in common: rising global temperatures are causing more
water to disappear from the oceans, which leads to heavier rain in some places while making dry areas even drier. Stay tuned for further updates and please stay safe during these challenging
times.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了比尔·盖茨基金会发布报告指出,非洲的快速人口增长可能加剧贫困,呼吁全球投资于非洲年轻一代的健康和教育,并强调通过生育控制降低人口增长率是减贫的关键。
21 .推理判断题。根据第一段中““The world should help Africa invest (投资) in the health and education of Africa’s younger generation to help fight poverty,” said Bill Gates, whose foundation
答案第 3 页,共 13 页
released its annual report on Tuesday. (比尔·盖茨的基金会周二发布了年度报告,他表示:“世界应当帮助非洲投资于年轻一代的健康和教育,以此助力消除贫困。”)”可推知,该报告的发布目的是呼吁全世界帮助非洲对抗贫困。故选 B 项。
22 .代词指代题。根据画线词的上文“While the poverty rate is decreasing globally, the fast
population growth in Africa could delay that progress. (尽管全球贫困率在下降,但非洲的快速人口增长可能延缓这一进展)”可知,非洲的快速人口增长会延缓全球贫困率下降,因此贫困率甚至可能上升,画线词指代前文提到的 the poverty rate“贫困率”。故选 A 项。
23 .细节理解题。根据第三段中“Asked how to meet the growing population and poverty

Using a sign of life detector, Mu’s team located a survivor trapped under the collapsed floor. A 73-year-old woman was trapped in a narrow space between the second and first floors.(在奥特拉·蒂里私人医院,一座三层建筑遭受了严重损毁,一楼完全坍塌了。穆的团队使用生命探测仪找到了被困在坍塌地板下的幸存者。一位 73 岁的妇女被困在二楼和一楼之间的狭窄空间里)”以及后文“from deep within the
debris(从废墟深处)”可知,妇女被困在地板下,因此是废墟深处传来的应该是微弱的回应,故划线词意思是“轻微地传出” 。故选 B。
25 .推理判断题。根据第三段“Due to the complex environment, they made a rescue plan along with local emergency workers.(由于环境复杂,他们与当地应急救援人员一起制定了救援计划)”可知,中国救援队与当地居民进行了有效的合作。故选 D。
26 .细节理解题。根据第三段“During the rescue process, we had to consider that drilling
vibrations might cause concrete blocks to fall, causing secondary harm to the trapped individuals. Avoiding this harm was the most challenging.(在救援过程中,我们必须考虑到钻孔振动可能会导致混凝土块掉落,从而对被困人员造成二次伤害。避免这种伤害是最具挑战性的任务)”可

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍地震的持续时间、造成的破坏、成因及相关科学解释,强调对地震的研究意义。
28 .细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Within a few seconds they can do widespread destruction,
causing great structural damage, shifting landmasses, and triggering tsunamis.(短短几秒钟内,地震就能造成大范围破坏,导致严重的建筑结构损坏、地表板块位移,还会引发海啸)”可知,地震可能带来地表板块移动和海啸发生等破坏。故选 B 项。
29.推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Both of these were what is called megathrust earthquakes, and they happen when one tectonic plate (大陆板块)slips under another. As one plate sinks,
sometimes it gets stuck. Tension builds as the plates accumulate energy. Eventually, this tension is released.(这两次都是所谓的超大逆冲地震,当一个大陆板块滑到另一个之下时就会发生。当一个板块下沉时,有时会被卡住。随着板块积累能量,张力逐渐增大。最终,这种张力被释放出来)”可知,该段先说明超大逆冲地震的发生情况,再解释其成因(板块运动导致张力积累与释放),是通过因果关系展开的。故选 D 项。
30 .推理判断题。根据第四段中的“As a general rule, the size and duration of an earthquake
depend on the length of the fault that slips. When an earthquake begins, we do not necessarily
know how big it will be or how long it will last. “You can think about an earthquake like a crack
that grows over time,” explains an American geophysicist.(一般来说,地震的规模和持续时间取决于滑动断层的长度。地震开始时,我们并不一定知道它会有多大或持续多久。一位美国地球物理学家解释说:“你可以把地震想象成一条随时间不断扩大的裂缝。”)”可推知,引用物理学家的话是为了用裂缝扩大的比喻帮助读者更好地理解地震的本质(规模和持续时间随断层滑动而变化)。故选 C 项。
答案第 5 页,共 13 页
31 .推理判断题。通读全文,尤其第一段中“Earthquakes are terrifying, even if they are usually brief. Within a few seconds they can do widespread destruction, causing great structural damage,
shifting landmasses, and triggering tsunamis.(地震是可怕的,即便它们通常很短暂。短短几秒钟内,地震就能造成大范围破坏,导致严重的建筑结构损坏、地表板块位移,还会引发海啸)”客观描述了地震的恐怖和破坏性。结合最后一段提到“While earthquakes are terrifying to live through, they are also a sign of a dynamic and living planet. Understanding where, when, how strong, and how long earthquakes are can help us to better understand why they happen. Perhaps
one day, we may even be able to predict them.(虽然经历地震很可怕,但它们也是地球充满活力的标志。了解地震发生的地点、时间、强度和持续时间,有助于我们更好地理解其发生的原因。也许有一天,我们甚至能够预测地震)”可知,作者既没有对地震表现出乐观或悲观的情绪,也没有表现出冷漠,而是从事实出发,既说明地震的危害,也阐述其作为地球动态的体现及研究价值,整体态度客观中立。故选 C 项。
32 .D 33 .A 34 .D 35 .C

33.细节理解题。根据第三段中“It will take at least two days to withdraw them from the landslide. Several vehicles are still trapped by piles from the landslides. There are also fallen trees at several points and landslides and the vehicles have not been able to get out of the locations (从泥石流现场撤离这些车辆至少需要两天时间。目前仍有多辆汽车被泥石堆积物困住,多处路段还有倒伏的树木和泥石流,车辆无法离开这些地方)”可知,道路清理将需要两天是因为倒下的树木阻塞了道路。故选 A 项。
34 .细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Seasonal rains from around October through to March
frequently cause flooding and landslides in Indonesia (印度尼西亚在 10 月至 3 月的季节性降雨经常引发洪水和泥石)”可知,印尼的泥石流在特定月份很常见。故选 D 项。
35 .主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中“Seven people have died in a landslide caused by pouring rains in Indonesia’s Sumatra island, officials said on Thursday, adding to the death toll

(死亡人数) from landslides in the region this week. (印尼苏门答腊岛因暴雨引发山体滑坡,官方周四表示已造成 7 人死亡,使该地区本周山体滑坡导致的死亡人数进一步上升)”以及下文内容可知,文章主要报道了印尼苏门答腊岛周四因暴雨引发泥石流,造成 7 人死亡,10 多人受伤,早些时候山洪暴发和山体滑坡已经造成 20 人遇难,因此,C 项“泥石流在印尼造成
重大人员伤亡”概括了事故情况,最适合作为文章标题。故选 C 项。

dangerous. Mary clung tightly to her parents’hands, her heart pounding with a mix of fear and
determination. When they finally reached Mrs. Thomson’s door, Dad knocked gently but firmly. After what felt like an eternity, the door creaked open, revealing Mrs. Thomson’s frightened face. “Thank goodness you’re here!” she whispered, her voice trembling. They quickly helped her
gather her essential belongings and led her back downstairs to their apartment, where they all huddled together, finding comfort in each other's presence.
Suddenly, a bunch of searching light from a rescue boat flashed across Mrs. Thomson’s
window. “Look!” Mary exclaimed, pointing excitedly. Dad grabbed the flashlight and waved it
back and forth, signaling for help. Within minutes, they heard the sound of voices and the gentle
lapping of the boat against the building. The rescue team arrived just in time, helping them all into the boat and to safety. As they sailed away from the flooded apartment, Mary looked back, feeling grateful for the bravery and love that had kept them together through the storm.
