A
(2016·山东省日照市校际联合检测)At
least
3
people
are
dead
in
the
Philippines
now
that
Typhoon
Hagupit
has
landed.
The
typhoon,
which
hit
the
eastern
Philippines
over
the
weekend,
has
blown
down
trees
and
sent
more
than
650 thousand
people
into
shelters
before
weakening.
“There
were
very
strong
winds
last
night.
The
roof
was
beginning
to
move,
and
rain
was
getting
inside
the
rooms，”
said
a
villager.
The
storm
hit
with
gusts
(强风)
of
over
100
miles
per
hour.
And
while
the
storm
has
slowed
considerably
from
the
super
typhoon
level
it
had
last
week,
Hagupit
still
remains
strong
enough
to
create
more
damage.
Christopher
Perez
is
a
local
weather
forecaster.
He
says,
“We
are
continuing
to
expect
bad
weather
and
rough
ocean
waves.
Threats
of
possible
flash
floods
and
landslides
(滑坡)
as
well
as
possible
storm
waves
are
occurring
in
coastal
areas.”
Hagupit
is
expected
to
roll
into
the
South
China
Sea
tomorrow.
It's
currently
going
westward
toward
the
southern
tip
of
Vietnam,
meaning
it's
unlikely
to
affect
China.
Hagupit's
strength
in
the
Philippines
is
much
less
severe
than
Typhoon
Haiyan,
which
rolled
through
the
country
in
2013.
Haiyan's
tsunami like
storm
waves
and
killer
winds
left
thousands
of
people
dead
and
leveled_entire_villages.
The
central
Philippines
is
still
trying
to
recover
from
last
year's
massive
storm
waves.

D．moving
more
than
120
miles

thousands
of
people
dead”可知C项正确；D项在文章中没有涉及。
B
(2016·东北三校二模)To
most
people,
noise
pollution
is
a
jet
flying
over
their
heads.
For
one
Spanish
woman,
it
is
a
neighbor
playing
the
piano.
The
woman
has
taken
her
neighbor
to
court.
Now
she
wants
to
send
her
neighbor
to
prison
for
over
seven
years
on
the
charges
of
psychological
damage
and
noise
pollution.
In
a
country
known
for
its
noisiness,
the
case
has
raised
eyebrows.
Neighbors
often
complain
about
street
noise
in
Spain,
but
people
seeking
prison
time
for
someone
practicing
the
piano
is
unheard
of.
At
the
trial,
Sonia
Bosom
says
she
has
been
suffering
noise
pollution
up
to
now
due
to
the
practice
sessions
of
Laia
Martin,
who
lives
below
her.
Martin,
27,
didn't
admit
that
she
played
at
home
that
often,
saying
she
took
regular
classes
in
other
towns
and
mostly
practiced
at
home
on
the
weekends.
On
the
first
day
of
the
trial,
the
newspaper
reported
that
Bosom
told
the
court
she
now
hated
pianos
so
much
that
she
couldn't
even
stand
seeing
them
in
a
film.
Bosom
says
years
of
hearing
constant
playing
has
caused
her
“psychological
injury”.
Medical
reports
show
she
has
suffered
from
a
variety
of
problems,
including
insomnia
(失眠),
anxiety,
and
panic
attacks.
She
says
tests
by
local
authorities
have
found
that
the
sound
levels
made
by
the
piano
are
up
to
10
decibels
(分贝)
higher
than
the
limit.
City
authorities
have
asked
the
family
several
times
to
either
stop
the
piano
playing
or
soundproof
(隔音)
the
room.
The
family
told
the
court
they
carried
out
soundproofing
work
twice
but
the
complaints
continued.
The
court
hasn't
made
a
final
decision.
A
spokeswoman
says
the
trial
will
end
before
May.

C
(2016·江西省九校联合考试)A
GRANDMOTHER,
Michelle
Riotton,
78,
survived
after
falling
down
a
mountain
valley.
She
set
off
for
a
walk
alone
dressed
only
in
a
light
jacket
and
trousers.
“I
slipped
into
a
valley！”
said
Mrs
Riotton,
who
said
the
fall
happened
in
a
deep
forest
close
to
her
home
village.
It
was
warm
and
sunny
when
the
accident
happened,
but
temperatures
dropped
to
very
low
when
night
fell,
and
it
rained.
“I
wasn't
afraid，”
said
Mrs
Riotton.
“But
I
was
worried
that
my
children
and
grandchildren
would
become
too
worried
about
me.”
Mrs
Riotton
said
she
covered
herself
in
leaves
when
feeling
cold,
taking
very
small
bites
of
two
biscuits
which
she
had
in
her
pocket
and
drinking
rainwater
which
fell
down
her
face.
She
spent
six
nights
before
she
was
found
on
Saturday.
She
was
lying
at
the
bottom
of
the
valley,
which
was
less
than
a
mile
from
her
home.
The
search
had
once
been
stopped,
but
Patrice
Fossard,
one
of
her
neighbors,
insisted
that
the
search
continue.
“There
was
no
way
we
could
give
up
her,
even
if
deep
inside
we
felt
we
had
little
hope
of
finding
her
alive，”
said
Mr
Fossard.
“It
was
a
miracle
that
Michelle
was
finally
found.”
Mrs
Riotton
said
she
would
be
taking
life
easier
from
now
on.
“Enough
is
enough！”
she
said.
“No
more
forests
—
don't
want
to
visit
one
again.”
A
mountain
policeman
said
walking
alone
in
the
mountain
was
not
recommended
and
that
Mrs
Riotton
should
have
carried
a
mobile
phone
with
her.
“The
mountains
are
particularly
dangerous
at
this
time
of
year
as
sunny
afternoons
can
quickly
change
into
cold,
wet
and
stormy
evenings.”
he
said.
“Anybody
walking
into
the
mountains
should
carry
safety
equipment
and
be
prepared
for
any
kind
of
emergency.”
