Unit 5 The power of nature
Mount Kilauea, the world's most active volcano, is on the
island of Hawaii. It is notfar from Mauna Loa, the largest
volcano in the world. Mauna Loa and Kilauea together form
the Volcanoes National Park in Hawaii.
Mount Kilauea has produced lava (熔岩) more than fifty
times in the last one hundred years. At this moment, red hot lava
is pouring out of Kilauea. It has been doing this since 1983.
Sometimes the lava moves slowly. At other times it pours
out very fast asa huge amount of pressure (压力) forces it
from the volcano. During these times, it moves almost as
quickly as water moving down the side of a mountain.
Sometimes Kilauea produces a large amount of lava that
seems like rivers of fire. When the lava from Kilauea reaches
the ocean, its fierce (凶猛的) heat produces a great amount
of steam that rises into the air. The lava is so hot it continues
to burn underwater for some time. The lava from Kilauea
continues to addland to the island as the volcanoes of Hawaii
have always done.It was these volcanoesthatformed the
islands of Hawaii. Most of the time the lava of Kilauea
seems to move peacefully toward the ocean. Yet it is not as
peaceful as it seems from a distance.
In recent years the lava destroyed one small town on the
island. The liquid (流动的) rock slowly covered the town. It
blocked roads and destroyed them. Nothing can stop the lava
of Kilauea.
Experts say the volcanoes of Mauna Loa and Kilauea are a serious threat (威胁) to property on many parts of the island. They also say the volcanoes of the island of Hawaii are proof that the changing environment of Earth is and will always remain beyond human control.

AN EXCITING JOBI have the greatest job in the world. I travel to unusual places and work alongside① people from all over the world. Sometimes working outdoors, sometimes in an office, sometimes using scientific equipment② and sometimes meeting local people and tourists, I am never bored. Although my job is occasionally③ dangerous, I don't mind because danger excites me and makes me feel alive. However, the most important thing about my job is that I help protect ordinary people from④ one of the most powerful forces on earth — the volcano.I wasappointed⑤ as a volcanologist working for the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory⑥ (HVO) twenty years ago. My job is collecting information for a database⑦ about Mount Kilauea⑧, which is one of the most active volcanoes in Hawaii. Having collected and evaluated⑨ the information, I help other scientists to predict where lava from the volcano will flow next and how fast. Our work has saved many lives because people in the path of the lava can be warned⑩ to leave their houses. Unfortunately, we cannot move their homes out of the way , and many houses have been covered with lava or burned to the ground . ①alongside/ l 'saId/adv.在旁边;沿着边 prep.在……旁边;沿着……的边②equipment/I'kwIpm nt/n.[U]设备;装备③occasionally adv.偶尔;间或④protect ... from 保护……免于⑤appoint/ 'p Int/vt.任命;委派be appointed as ... 被任命为……⑥observatory/ b'z v trI; US t rI/n.观象台;天文台;气象台⑦database/'deIt beIs/n.数据库;资料库⑧Mount Kilauea/kIl 'wI /基拉韦厄火山⑨evaluate/I'v lj eIt/vt.评估;评价;估计⑩warn sb.

一份令人兴奋的工作
[第1~2段译文]
我有份世界上最伟大的工作。我跑的地方是稀罕奇特的地方,和我一道工作的人来自世界各地。(我们)有时在室外工作,有时在办公室里,有时(工作中)要用科学仪器,有时要会见当地百姓和旅游人士,我从来不感到(工作)无聊。虽然我的工作偶尔也有危险,但是我并不在乎,因为危险能使我兴奋,使我感到有活力。然而,最重要的是,通过我的工作能帮助保护普通百姓免遭火山的威胁——这是世界上最大的自然威力之一。
20年前,作为一名火山学家,我被派到夏威夷火山观测站(HVO)工作。我的任务是收集有关基拉韦厄火山的数据资料,这是夏威夷最活跃的火山之一。收集和评估这些信息之后,我就帮助其他科学家一起预测熔岩接着将流向何处,流速是多少。我们的工作拯救了许多人的生命,因为熔岩要流经之地,老百姓都可以得到离开家园的通知。遗憾的是,我们不可能把他们的家搬离岩浆流经之路,因此,许多房屋被熔岩淹没,或者焚烧殆尽。
When boiling rock erupts from a volcano and crashes back to earth, it causes less damage rocks fall. The lava that flows slowly like a wave down the mountain causes far more damage because it buries everything in its path under the molten rock. However, the eruption itself is really exciting to watch and I shall never forget my first sight of one. It was in the second week after I arrived in Hawaii. Having worked hard all day, I went to bed early. I was fast asleep when suddenly my bed began shaking and I heard a strange sound, like a railway train passing my window. Having experienced quite a few earthquakes in Hawaii already, I didn't take much notice. I was about to go back to sleep when suddenly my bedroom became as bright as day. I ran out of the house into the back garden where I could see Mount Kilauea in the distance. There had been an eruption from the side of the mountain and red hot lava was fountaining hundreds of metres into the air. It was an absolutely fantastic sight. cause damage 造成损失than you might imagine .

[第3段译文], 当滚烫的岩石从火山喷发出来并撞回地面时,它所造成的损失比想象的要小些,这是因为在岩石下落的基拉韦厄火山顶附近无人居住。而像波浪一样顺着山坡缓缓流下的火山熔岩所造成的损失却大得多,这是因为火山岩浆所流经的地方,一切东西都被掩埋在熔岩下面了。然而火山喷发本身看起来的确是很壮观的,我永远也忘不了我第一次看见火山喷发时的情景。那是在我抵达夏威夷后的第二个星期。那天我辛辛苦苦地干了一整天,很早就上床睡觉了。我在熟睡中突然感到床铺在摇晃,接着我听到一阵奇怪的声音,就好像一列火车在我的窗外行驶一样。因为我在夏威夷曾经经历过多次地震,所以对此我并不在意。我刚要再睡,突然我的卧室亮如白昼。我跑出房间,来到后花园,在那儿我能远远地看见基拉韦厄火山。在山的一边有火山喷发,红色发烫的岩浆像喷泉一样,朝天上喷射达几百米高。真是绝妙的奇景。
The day after this eruption I was lucky enough to have a much closer look at it. Two other scientists and I were driven up the mountain and dropped as close as possible to the crater that had been formed during the eruption. Having earlier collected special clothes from the observatory, we put them on before we went any closer. All three of us looked like spacemen. We had white protective suits that covered our whole body, helmets, big boots and special gloves. It was not easy to walk in these suits, but we slowly made ourway to the edge of the crater and looked down into the red, boiling centre. The other two climbed down into the crater to collect some lava for later study, but this being my first experience, I stayed at the top and watched them.Today, I am just as enthusiastic about my job as the day I first started.

[第4~5段译文], 就在这次火山喷发的第二天,我很有幸作了一次更近距离的观察。我和另外两位科学家被驱车送上山,到最靠近这次火山喷口的地方才下车。早先从观测站 出发时 就带了一些特别的安全服,于是我们穿上安全服再走近火山口。我们三个人看上去就像宇航员一样,我们都穿着白色的防护服遮住全身,戴上了头盔和特别的手套,还穿了双大靴子。穿着这些衣服走起路来不容易,但我们还是缓缓往火山口的边缘走去,并且向下看到了红红的沸腾的中央。另外两人攀下火山口去收集供日后研究用的岩浆,我是第一次经历这样的事,所以留在山顶上观察他们。, 如今,我和当初从事这项工作时一样满怀热情。虽然我现在从事火山研究很多年了,但是我对火山的壮丽景色以及它们那潜在的巨大破坏力仍然感到惊愕不已。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
The US government has recently helped people learn more about the dangers of earthquakes by publishing a map. This map shows the chances of an earthquake in each part of the country. The areas of the map where earthquakes are most likely to occur are called earthquake belts. The government is spending a great deal of money and is working hard to help to discover the answers to these two questions:
Can we predict earthquakes
Can we control earthquakes
To answer the first question, scientists are looking very closely at the most active fault (断层) systems in the country, such as the San Andreas fault in California. A fault is a break between two sections of the earth's surface. These breaks between sections are the places where earthquakes occur. Scientists look at the faults for changes which might show that an earthquake was about to occur. But it will probably be many years before we can predict earthquakes correctly. And the control of earthquakes is even farther away.
However, there have been some interesting developments in the field of controlling earthquakes. The most interesting development concerns the Rocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes. Here water was put into a layer of rocks 4,000 metres below the surface of the ground. Shortly after this injection (注射) of water, there was a small number of earthquakes. Scientists have decided that the water which was injected into the rocks worked like oil on each other.
When the water “oiled” the fault, the fault became slippery and the energy of an earthquake was given out. Scientists are still experimenting at the site of these earthquakes. They have realized that there is a connection between the injection of the water and the earthquake activity. They have suggested that it might be possible to use this knowledge to prevent very big, dangerous earthquakes, that is, scientists could inject some kind of fluid like water into faults and change one big earthquake into a number of small, harmless earthquakes.
语篇解读:为了提高人们对地震的防范意识,美国政府加大了在防震、预测方面的投入,他们甚至在努力采取措施控制地震的发生。
1.Earthquakes belts are ________.
A.maps that show where earthquakes are likely to occur
B.zones with a high probability of earthquakes
C.breaks between two sections of the earth's surface
D.the two layers of earth along a fault
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第一段的第三句可知,地震多发地带被称为earthquake belts。
2.The San Andreas fault is ________.
A.an active fault system
B.a place where earthquakes have been predicted correctly
C.a place where earthquakes have been controlled
D.at the foot of the Rocky Mountain
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第二段可知,该地区为地震比较活跃的地区。
3.What did scientists learn about earthquakes at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal
A.They occur at about 4,000 metres below ground level.
B.The injection of water into earthquake faults prevents earthquakes from occurring.
C.They are usually caused by the oil in the faults.
D.Harmful earthquakes could be prevented by causing harmless earthquakes.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据最后一段尾句可知。
4.What can be said about the experiments at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal
A.They have no practical value in earthquake prevention.
B.They may have practical value in earthquake prevention.
C.They are certain to have practical value in earthquake prevention.
D.Nothing is told about their practical value in earthquake prevention.
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据科学家的试验,通过向断裂带注水可以引发小地震,从而使地震的能量得到释放,因此也就降低了大地震爆发的可能。
B
There are over 500 known active volcanoes in the world and thousands of extinct volcanoes. Volcanoes are found on every continent except Australia. There are about 80 active volcanoes under the oceans. Volcanoes are both terrifying and fascinating. In order to understand why volcanic eruptions happen, it is necessary to know some things about how the Earth is made.
The part of the Earth we live on is an 18 mile thick layer of solid rock called the crust. Beneath the crust is a layer called the mantle (地幔), it is hot enough to melt some of the rock, creating magma (岩浆).
When the magma finds cracks in the Earth's crust, it rises up. Gas bubbles (气泡) inside the magma grow bigger and try to escape as the molten rock gets closer to the Earth's surface. When the gas bubbles can't be held back any longer, the volcano erupts. Imagine shaking a soda bottle until the gas inside blows the cap off, and you can understand something of how a volcano erupts. If the magma is runny, and the gas can escape easily, the eruption is gentle. But if the magma is thick, the gas has to build up more pressure to escape. Then the eruption is explosive.
When a volcano erupts, the molten rock that flows from it is called lava. The lava may run for some distance, or it may pile up near the volcano, making the mountain larger.
During an explosive eruption, pieces of rock are thrown from the volcano. Scientists call these pyroclasts (火山碎屑). The smallest pyroclasts are called ash. Ash is often thrown into the atmosphere by the force of the eruption. Larger rocks, about walnut (胡桃) size, are called lapilli, Italian for “little stones”. The largest pyroclasts are called blocks if they are solid, or bombs if they are molten.
Volcanoes have been a major force in the formation of our planet for thousands and thousands of years. Today geologists continually observe active volcanoes for signs of eruption. Using modern instruments, they are usually able to issue a warning before the volcano erupts.
5.The author explains how the volcano erupts by ________.
A.making a comparison B.telling a story
C.using figures D.asking questions
解析:选A 写作手法题。根据第三段“Imagine shaking a soda bottle until the gas inside blows the cap off, and you can understand something of how a volcano erupts.”可知,作者在说明火山怎样喷发时打了一个比方。
6.Whether the eruption is explosive depends on ________.
A.the temperature of the crust
B.whether the magma is thick
C.whether the magma is near the mantle
D.the number of gas bubbles inside the magma
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第三段末三句“If the magma is runny ... Then the eruption is explosive.”可知,火山喷发是否是爆发性的,取决于岩浆是否黏稠。其中的runny的意思是“松软的,有流动倾向的”。
7.We learn from Paragraph 5 that ________.
A.ash is smaller than pyroclasts
B.bombs are about walnut size
C.blocks are larger than lapilli
D.lapilli exist in the atmosphere
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第五段“The largest pyroclasts are called blocks ...”可知,block是最大的火山碎屑,故选C项。
8.The passage is most probably taken from ________.
A.NationalGeographic B.EntertainmentWeekly
C.Health D.TVGuide
解析:选A 文章出处题。该文介绍了火山的一些常识,最有可能从关于地理方面的杂志中摘选,故A项为正确答案。
C
Seeing a volcano erupt is a wonderful experience, and you can really feel the heat by climbing to the summit (山顶) of Pacaya for a close up view. There are guided tours every day up this highly active volcano from Antigua, giving travelers a chance to see Mother Nature at her most powerful.
Pacaya is an easy drive from Antigua, a beautiful city with many colorful houses along its old streets that are turned into art works during its Holy Week Festival. No matter when you come to Antigua, you won't miss the Pacaya tour companies.
But climbing Pacaya is no easy job: it is 2,560 metres high, and reaching the summit takes two to three hours of seemingly one step forward and two step back movements. As you climb, you hear the dull sounds of eruptions high above. Steaming, hot remains from recent eruptions begin to line the path as you near the active summit:the McKenney Cone (火山锥). Just as though you are going to walk over to the edge of the cone, the road turns to the left and up to the relative safety of the old, inactive summit.
Many tours are timed so that you arrive at the cone of the volcano in plenty of time for sunset and the full contrast between the erupting red lava and the darkening sky. On a good day the view from the summit is extremely exciting. The active mouth boils, sending red lava over its sides, and once in a while shoots hot streams up to 100 metres into the air. There is a strong bad smell in the air even if you take care to be upwind of the cone. As evening turns deeper into the night, the burning lava quietly falls down the side of the volcano. For you, too, it is time to get down.
语篇解读:红色的熔岩从火山口喷薄而出冲向百米高空,与黑色的天幕相映生辉,来自大自然的力量令游客叹为观止,流连忘返。
9.What is the main purpose of the passage
A.To attract tourists to Pacaya.
B.To describe the beauty of Pacaya.
C.To introduce guided tours to Pacaya.
D.To explain the power of nature at Pacaya.
解析:选A 写作意图题。B项描述Pacaya之美;C项介绍去Pacaya的旅行;D项解释Pacaya大自然的力量。这三项本文都是点到为止,其最终目的是想吸引游客去Pacaya。
10.Antigua is an island ________.
A.where people can enjoy cultural festival
B.where the daring Pacaya tour starts
C.that gives a close up view of Pacaya
D.that is famous for its tour companies
解析:选B 细节理解题。由第二段最后一句“No matter when you come to Antigua, you won't miss the Pacaya tour companies.”可知,这里是冒险之游的起点。
11.Climbing to the McKenney Cone, people will ________.
A.walk directly to the active summit
B.hear the continuous loud noise from above
C.make greater efforts than to other summits
D.see a path lined with remains of earlier eruptions
解析:选D 细节理解题。由第三段第三句“Steaming, hot remains from recent eruptions begin to line the path as you near the active summit”可知D项正确。
12.Many tours are timed for people to ________.
A.get down the mountain in time when night falls
B.avoid the smell from the upwind direction of the cone
C.enjoy the fantastic eruption against the darkening sky
D.appreciate the scenery of the 2,560 metre high mountain
解析:选C 细节理解题。由最后一段第一句可知,要准时到达火山锥才能欣赏到日落及岩浆喷发到黑色天空中的壮观景色。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Nowadays we are too busy to make art or make creative works. Here are some simple tips to help you solve the problem.
1.Read before you fall asleep
This is a classic subconscious (潜意识的) employing trick, used a lot when you really need to study and remember materials. __1__ Studies show that your brain remembers more and thinks subconsciously about the information you want to process just before going into REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep. __2__
2.Take notes whenever ideas come
Take notes no matter what time of day (or night). Keep a notepad and pen beside your bed, and always carry one in your handbag or pocket. __3__ Sometimes they're not important or playful, but sometimes they can be tiny seeds of gold.
3.Make conversations about your artwork a priority
Think about how much time you spend talking out loud about your artwork. __4__ There's a learning curve (曲线) that comes out of forcing yourself to communicate. Set up a list of artists to contact regarding your work.
4.Don't neglect thinking time
__5__ Many artworks are made after they have been inside your own head for months or even years. Whether you're at work, walking pets, or doing the dishes, using this moment to think hard about your artwork can pay off greatly.
A.You might even dream about what you have read.
B.Try some of these ideas out and see what works for you.
C.When you're not making artwork, make time to simply think.
D.Don't hesitate to take notes in public or anywhere the inspiration strikes.
E.Inspiration has become more important than ever for business leaders or artists.
F.It helps to regularly make every effort to talk about what you've been working on.
G.If you want to think more about your artwork, read about it just before you fall asleep.
语篇解读:如今我们变得越来越忙以至于没有时间进行艺术创作或者进行思维创新。本文提出了几条建议来解决这一问题。
1.选G 本节小标题是:睡前阅读。另外根据承上启下的原则,第1空选G:若要深入思考艺术创作,那么就在睡前进行阅读吧。下一句讲:研究表明,人类大脑在进入快速眼球运动睡眠 (Rapid Eye Movement sleep) 之前,对所要处理的信息消化吸收得最快。第2空选A:你在睡前所读的内容甚至可能出现在梦境中。
2.选A 参见上题解析。
3.选D D项中的“take notes in public”和标题“Take notes whenever ideas come”呼应。
4.选F F项中的“talk about what you've been working on”和前一句中的“talking out loud about your artwork”呼应。
5.选C C项中的“make time to simply think”和标题“Don't neglect thinking time”呼应。(共33张PPT)

三、动词 ing形式作状语的注意事项
1.逻辑主语
动词 ing形式作状语,其逻辑主语一般就是句子的主语,它们之间是一种逻辑上的主谓关系。
Being ill, he didn't attend the wedding.
因为生病,他没有出席婚礼。(he与being ill 是逻辑上的主谓关系→He was ill.)
2.独立结构
有时现在分词有自己的逻辑主语,这时其逻辑主语相对于句子的主语来说是独立的,因此又叫独立主格结构,构成形式是“名词/代词+v. ing”。
She being ill, her mother had to look after her at home.
她生病了,母亲不得不在家照顾她。
The meeting being over, we went to play football.
会议一结束,我们就去踢足球了。
3.独立成分作状语
有些动词 ing形式作状语在句中没有逻辑上的主语而独立存在,其形式的选择不受上下文的影响,表明说话者的态度、观点等,被称为评论性状语。常见的有:
generally speaking 一般说来
strictly speaking 严格说来
judging from/by 根据……来判断
considering .../taking ... into consideration
考虑到
supposing 假设;如果
providing 如果
assuming 假使
Generally speaking, as a foreign language Chinese is more difficult to learn than English.
一般地说,作为一门外语,汉语要比英语难学。
4.连词+现在分词
由when/while/after/before/once/if/though/unless/as if等引导的状语从句的主语与主句的主语一致时,如果从句的谓语动词是主动语态,则可以省略从句的主语,而保留原连词,形成“连词+现在分词”的结构形式。
Though lacking money, his parents managed to send him to university.
=Though they lacked money, his parents managed to send him to university.
尽管他父母缺钱,但是他们还是设法把他送去上大学了。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Check out our tsunami facts and learn some interesting information related to these great walls of water that can cause so much destruction.Find out what causes tsunamis and read about some recent examples of tsunamis that have occurred aroun the globe.
·The Japanese word for tsunami means harbor wave.
·Tsunamis are sometimes referred to as tidal (受潮汐影响的) waves but this term has fallen out of favour because tsunamis are not related to tides.
·Tsunamis are huge waves of water that are usually caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
·As a tsunami approaches the shore (海岸), water may move back from the coast.If it is shallow (浅的) enough the water may be pulled back hundreds of metres.If you are in the area, you can know that a tsunami is on the way when you see this phenomenon.
·Regions in tsunami danger zones often have warning systems in place to give people as much time as possible to move to a safe place.
·When tsunamis hit shallow water (often near the coast) they slow down but increase in height.
·An earthquake in the Indian Ocean off Indonesia in December 2004 caused a tsunami that killed over 200,000 people in 12 countries.
·In March 2011, the Tohoku earthquake off the eastern coast of Japan caused a tsunami that was a major factor in the death of over 15,000 people.
·The tsunami waves created by the Tohoku earthquake reached heights of over 40 metres in some areas, wiping out coastal towns and causing a number of nuclear accidents.
1.How many causes of tsunamis are mentioned in the text
A.One. B.Two.
C.Three. D.Four.
解析:选B 细节理解题。由第四段可知,海啸通常是由地震或火山爆发引起的。
2.In the Tohoku earthquake over 15,000 people died mainly because of ________.
A.the earthquake itself
B.the lack of warning systems
C.the tsunami caused by the earthquake
D.the nuclear accidents caused by the tsunami
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“...a tsunami that was a major factor in the death of over 15,000 people.”可知,在2011年日本大地震中,海啸是造成超过15,000人死亡的主要原因。故C项正确。
3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A.Over 200,000 people were killed in 12 countries because of the earthquake in Dec.2004.
B.Sometimes tsunamis are said as tidal waves, because they are related to tides.
C.The warning systems in some regions help people move to a safe place.
D.If you see water move to the coast, there will be a tsunami on the way.
解析:选C 细节理解题。从文章第六段可以看出C项正确。由倒数第三段可以看出是由于地震引起的海啸使20多万人丧生,而非地震本身,A项错误。B项与第三段意思相反,故为错误选项。文章第五段提到,海啸来时海水会从海岸向后退,而非向前进,故D项错误。
4.The text is developed mainly by ________.
A.listing some facts
B.giving some examples
C.providing some numbers
D.making some comparisons
解析:选A 写作手法题。本文主要列举了一些关于海啸的基本常识和事实。故A项正确。

Ⅰ.语法填空
M:Could you tell me more about your first job
W:I was a marketing adviser (营销顾问),responsible __1__ ten hotels. They are all hotels of a very high standard.

M:Yes, of course. Have you had any contact with France in __6__ (you) present job

W:No, I haven't, __9__ I have traveled on a Glacier Express to Switzerland and I traveled across China by train about 8 years ago. I love train travel. That's __10__ I'm interested in this job.
1.________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________
5.________ 6.________ 7.________ 8.________
9.________ 10.________
1.for be responsible for是固定用法,意为“对……负责”,故此处用介词for。
2.Seeing 分析句子结构可知,本句的主语I和see为主动关系,故用seeing。
3.been 本句意为:“你曾经去过法国吗?”根据句意可知,此空应填been。
4.spent 根据本句的时间状语in 2010可知,此处说的是过去的事,故用一般过去时。
5.fluently 修饰动词speak应用fluent的副词形式。
6.your 此处为形容词性物主代词作定语修饰名词job。
7.truth 此句缺少主语,故用true的名词形式truth。
8.hearing 介词in后接名词或动名词作宾语,故用hearing。
9.but 设空处前后两个句子为转折关系,故用but。
10.why 本句句意:这就是我为什么对这份工作感兴趣。
Ⅱ.短文改错
All of us will need someone else's help to deal with problem in our life. Who will you turn for help Some say they will ask their friends for help, because they are peers (同龄人), but they can understand each other easy.
However, others have different choices when in the trouble. They were willing to tell their teachers and parents the difficulties we are faced with. In their opinion, teachers and parents who are much old than them can give them a hand with their rich experience. As for me, close friends are always those which come to my mind first when I'm puzzling by something that can't be solved by myself.
答案:第一句:problem→problems
第二句:turn后加to
第三句:but→and; easy→easily
第四句:去掉the
第五句:were→are; we→they
第六句:old→older
第七句:which→who; puzzling→puzzled
Ⅲ.书面表达
写一篇100词左右的短文介绍华山。要点如下:

2.华山有五座山峰(peak),分别为东峰、西峰、南峰、北峰和中峰。
3.可以步行上山,也可乘索道(ropeway)或缆车(cable car)。
参考范文:
Mount Hua
Mount Hua is located in Huayin, Shaanxi Province. It is famous as one of the Five Sacred Mountains of China. Its five main peaks are the East Peak, the West Peak, the South Peak, the North Peak and the Middle Peak, each of which has an unusual story.
At the foot of the mountain, the waterfalls will first attract your attention. On the way to the top, you'll see a number of strange hills and unique rocks. When you arrive at the top, you can look out over a sea of clouds. You can climb to the top on foot, taking the ropeway, or riding in a cable car, where you can enjoy the beauty of the nature.
Now it is attracting more and more people. Why not pay a visit there Unit 5 The power of nature
A Volcanic Eruption
As the best candidate, I was appointed to collect and evaluateinformation for a database about diversenatural disasters, such as hurricanes, typhoons or thunderstorms. Sometimes I did this by giving out questionnaires to those who went through them. But sometimes I had to go through actualdisasters myself. The Musaki Volcano was one of them.
At that time, I lived in a bungalow alongside the volcano with a novelist who came for the appreciation of its eruption. One day, when I was drawing diagrams on the balcony and he was bathing inside, the volcano erupted unexpectedly. The ash and lava fountainsshooting highly into the sky varied from 50 to 100 meters in height. It was absolutely fantastic! I even noticed a rainbow appear in the fogcaused by a heat wave.
But, glancing around our situation, I foresaw the potential danger and found no guarantee of our safety. The uncomfortable gas almost made us unconscious. Sweats of anxiety began to drop. Managing to stop panicking and trembling, we quickly put on our protective suits, helmets and boots and eventually made our way to a safe place. How lucky we were even though myprecious equipment and documents were all burnt to the ground!
火山爆发
作为最好的候选人,我被委派为一个数据库收集和评估各种自然灾害的信息,例如飓风、台风或雷暴等。有时我通过向经历过这些灾害的人分发调查问卷来收集信息,有时却得亲自经历实际的灾害。Musaki火山就是其中之一。
那时,我和一名来欣赏火山爆发的小说家同住在火山边上的一座平房里。有一天,当我正在阳台上画图表而他在屋里洗澡时,火山突然爆发了。喷射到天空中的火山灰和岩浆喷泉从50米到100米不等。这一情景绝对地奇异,我甚至还注意到一条彩虹出现在热浪造成的雾里。
然而,向四周看了一下我们的处境,我马上预见到了潜在的危险,也发现了我们的安全毫无保障。令人不舒服的气体几乎使我们失去知觉,忧虑的汗水开始流淌下来。我们努力使自己不要惊慌和颤抖,迅速穿上保护套装、头盔和靴子,最后成功前往安全的地方。尽管我珍贵的设备和文件都烧得精光,但是我们真的非常幸运。(共4张PPT)Unit 5 The power of nature课时跟踪练(一)Warming Up & Reading-Pre reading
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
The US government has recently helped people learn more about the dangers of earthquakes by publishing a map. This map shows the chances of an earthquake in each part of the country. The areas of the map where earthquakes are most likely to occur are called earthquake belts. The government is spending a great deal of money and is working hard to help to discover the answers to these two questions:
Can we predict earthquakes
Can we control earthquakes
To answer the first question, scientists are looking very closely at the most active fault (断层) systems in the country, such as the San Andreas fault in California. A fault is a break between two sections of the earth's surface. These breaks between sections are the places where earthquakes occur. Scientists look at the faults for changes which might show that an earthquake was about to occur. But it will probably be many years before we can predict earthquakes correctly. And the control of earthquakes is even farther away.
However, there have been some interesting developments in the field of controlling earthquakes. The most interesting development concerns the Rocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes. Here water was put into a layer of rocks 4,000 metres below the surface of the ground. Shortly after this injection (注射) of water, there was a small number of earthquakes. Scientists have decided that the water which was injected into the rocks worked like oil on each other.
When the water “oiled” the fault, the fault became slippery and the energy of an earthquake was given out. Scientists are still experimenting at the site of these earthquakes. They have realized that there is a connection between the injection of the water and the earthquake activity. They have suggested that it might be possible to use this knowledge to prevent very big, dangerous earthquakes, that is, scientists could inject some kind of fluid like water into faults and change one big earthquake into a number of small, harmless earthquakes.
语篇解读:为了提高人们对地震的防范意识,美国政府加大了在防震、预测方面的投入,他们甚至在努力采取措施控制地震的发生。
1.Earthquakes belts are ________.
A.maps that show where earthquakes are likely to occur
B.zones with a high probability of earthquakes
C.breaks between two sections of the earth's surface
D.the two layers of earth along a fault
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第一段的第三句可知,地震多发地带被称为earthquake belts。
2.The San Andreas fault is ________.
A.an active fault system
B.a place where earthquakes have been predicted correctly
C.a place where earthquakes have been controlled
D.at the foot of the Rocky Mountain
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第二段可知,该地区为地震比较活跃的地区。
3.What did scientists learn about earthquakes at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal
A.They occur at about 4,000 metres below ground level.
B.The injection of water into earthquake faults prevents earthquakes from occurring.
C.They are usually caused by the oil in the faults.
D.Harmful earthquakes could be prevented by causing harmless earthquakes.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据最后一段尾句可知。
4.What can be said about the experiments at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal
A.They have no practical value in earthquake prevention.
B.They may have practical value in earthquake prevention.
C.They are certain to have practical value in earthquake prevention.
D.Nothing is told about their practical value in earthquake prevention.
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据科学家的试验,通过向断裂带注水可以引发小地震,从而使地震的能量得到释放,因此也就降低了大地震爆发的可能。
B
There are over 500 known active volcanoes in the world and thousands of extinct volcanoes. Volcanoes are found on every continent except Australia. There are about 80 active volcanoes under the oceans. Volcanoes are both terrifying and fascinating. In order to understand why volcanic eruptions happen, it is necessary to know some things about how the Earth is made.
The part of the Earth we live on is an 18 mile thick layer of solid rock called the crust. Beneath the crust is a layer called the mantle (地幔), it is hot enough to melt some of the rock, creating magma (岩浆).
When the magma finds cracks in the Earth's crust, it rises up. Gas bubbles (气泡) inside the magma grow bigger and try to escape as the molten rock gets closer to the Earth's surface. When the gas bubbles can't be held back any longer, the volcano erupts. Imagine shaking a soda bottle until the gas inside blows the cap off, and you can understand something of how a volcano erupts. If the magma is runny, and the gas can escape easily, the eruption is gentle. But if the magma is thick, the gas has to build up more pressure to escape. Then the eruption is explosive.
When a volcano erupts, the molten rock that flows from it is called lava. The lava may run for some distance, or it may pile up near the volcano, making the mountain larger.
During an explosive eruption, pieces of rock are thrown from the volcano. Scientists call these pyroclasts (火山碎屑). The smallest pyroclasts are called ash. Ash is often thrown into the atmosphere by the force of the eruption. Larger rocks, about walnut (胡桃) size, are called lapilli, Italian for “little stones”. The largest pyroclasts are called blocks if they are solid, or bombs if they are molten.
Volcanoes have been a major force in the formation of our planet for thousands and thousands of years. Today geologists continually observe active volcanoes for signs of eruption. Using modern instruments, they are usually able to issue a warning before the volcano erupts.
5.The author explains how the volcano erupts by ________.
A.making a comparison B.telling a story
C.using figures D.asking questions
解析:选A 写作手法题。根据第三段“Imagine shaking a soda bottle until the gas inside blows the cap off, and you can understand something of how a volcano erupts.”可知,作者在说明火山怎样喷发时打了一个比方。
6.Whether the eruption is explosive depends on ________.
A.the temperature of the crust
B.whether the magma is thick
C.whether the magma is near the mantle
D.the number of gas bubbles inside the magma
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第三段末三句“If the magma is runny ... Then the eruption is explosive.”可知,火山喷发是否是爆发性的,取决于岩浆是否黏稠。其中的runny的意思是“松软的,有流动倾向的”。
7.We learn from Paragraph 5 that ________.
A.ash is smaller than pyroclasts
B.bombs are about walnut size
C.blocks are larger than lapilli
D.lapilli exist in the atmosphere
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第五段“The largest pyroclasts are called blocks ...”可知,block是最大的火山碎屑,故选C项。
8.The passage is most probably taken from ________.
A.National Geographic B.Entertainment Weekly
C.Health D.TV Guide
解析:选A 文章出处题。该文介绍了火山的一些常识,最有可能从关于地理方面的杂志中摘选,故A项为正确答案。
C
Seeing a volcano erupt is a wonderful experience, and you can really feel the heat by climbing to the summit (山顶) of Pacaya for a close up view. There are guided tours every day up this highly active volcano from Antigua, giving travelers a chance to see Mother Nature at her most powerful.
Pacaya is an easy drive from Antigua, a beautiful city with many colorful houses along its old streets that are turned into art works during its Holy Week Festival. No matter when you come to Antigua, you won't miss the Pacaya tour companies.
But climbing Pacaya is no easy job: it is 2,560 metres high, and reaching the summit takes two to three hours of seemingly one step forward and two step back movements. As you climb, you hear the dull sounds of eruptions high above. Steaming, hot remains from recent eruptions begin to line the path as you near the active summit:the McKenney Cone (火山锥). Just as though you are going to walk over to the edge of the cone, the road turns to the left and up to the relative safety of the old, inactive summit.
Many tours are timed so that you arrive at the cone of the volcano in plenty of time for sunset and the full contrast between the erupting red lava and the darkening sky. On a good day the view from the summit is extremely exciting. The active mouth boils, sending red lava over its sides, and once in a while shoots hot streams up to 100 metres into the air. There is a strong bad smell in the air even if you take care to be upwind of the cone. As evening turns deeper into the night, the burning lava quietly falls down the side of the volcano. For you, too, it is time to get down.
语篇解读:红色的熔岩从火山口喷薄而出冲向百米高空,与黑色的天幕相映生辉,来自大自然的力量令游客叹为观止,流连忘返。
9.What is the main purpose of the passage
A.To attract tourists to Pacaya.
B.To describe the beauty of Pacaya.
C.To introduce guided tours to Pacaya.
D.To explain the power of nature at Pacaya.
解析:选A 写作意图题。B项描述Pacaya之美;C项介绍去Pacaya的旅行;D项解释Pacaya大自然的力量。这三项本文都是点到为止,其最终目的是想吸引游客去Pacaya。
10.Antigua is an island ________.
A.where people can enjoy cultural festival
B.where the daring Pacaya tour starts
C.that gives a close up view of Pacaya
D.that is famous for its tour companies
解析:选B 细节理解题。由第二段最后一句“No matter when you come to Antigua, you won't miss the Pacaya tour companies.”可知,这里是冒险之游的起点。
11.Climbing to the McKenney Cone, people will ________.
A.walk directly to the active summit
B.hear the continuous loud noise from above
C.make greater efforts than to other summits
D.see a path lined with remains of earlier eruptions
解析:选D 细节理解题。由第三段第三句“Steaming, hot remains from recent eruptions begin to line the path as you near the active summit”可知D项正确。
12.Many tours are timed for people to ________.
A.get down the mountain in time when night falls
B.avoid the smell from the upwind direction of the cone
C.enjoy the fantastic eruption against the darkening sky
D.appreciate the scenery of the 2,560 metre high mountain
解析:选C 细节理解题。由最后一段第一句可知,要准时到达火山锥才能欣赏到日落及岩浆喷发到黑色天空中的壮观景色。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Nowadays we are too busy to make art or make creative works. Here are some simple tips to help you solve the problem.
1.Read before you fall asleep
This is a classic subconscious (潜意识的) employing trick, used a lot when you really need to study and remember materials. __1__ Studies show that your brain remembers more and thinks subconsciously about the information you want to process just before going into REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep. __2__
2.Take notes whenever ideas come
Take notes no matter what time of day (or night). Keep a notepad and pen beside your bed, and always carry one in your handbag or pocket. __3__ Sometimes they're not important or playful, but sometimes they can be tiny seeds of gold.
3.Make conversations about your artwork a priority
Think about how much time you spend talking out loud about your artwork. __4__ There's a learning curve (曲线) that comes out of forcing yourself to communicate. Set up a list of artists to contact regarding your work.
4.Don't neglect thinking time
__5__ Many artworks are made after they have been inside your own head for months or even years. Whether you're at work, walking pets, or doing the dishes, using this moment to think hard about your artwork can pay off greatly.
A.You might even dream about what you have read.
B.Try some of these ideas out and see what works for you.
C.When you're not making artwork, make time to simply think.
D.Don't hesitate to take notes in public or anywhere the inspiration strikes.

二、勤练高考题型,多练自能生巧
Ⅰ.阅读理解
During a small earthquake, you will feel a little shaking. Pictures hanging on the walls might move back and forth. Dishes might rattle (发出响声) inside the kitchen cabinet. A lamp might possibly fall and break.
In a very strong earthquake,you might be thrown upward or down to the ground. Cracks might appear in the ground. Windows might be broken. Buildings and bridges might fall down. People might be injured or even killed.
Strong earthquakes often suddenly break electric wires. That means electric lights and machines will not work. Water pipes sometimes break, so people have no water to drink. Pipes that carry natural gas, and tanks that hold petrol and dangerous chemicals, can break and start fires.
Aftershocks (余震) are mini quakes that come after the main part of an earthquake. They can cause even more damage. Aftershocks are especially dangerous for rescue workers who have gone into ruined buildings to help people who are trapped inside. The buildings can collapse,_trapping the rescue workers along with the people they are trying to help.
Very strong earthquakes can cause tsunamis in the ocean, which may bring great damage. Earthquakes can cause landslides where dirt and rocks slide down the sides of a mountain and damage buildings and hurt people. Earthquakes can also cause avalanches (雪崩) and heavy snow slide down a mountainside. An avalanche can be just as dangerous as a landslide.
1.All the following may be the results of a strong earthquake EXCEPT that ________.
A.strong bridges fall down
B.people have no water to drink
C.some dangerous chemicals flow out
D.dishes in the kitchen shake and make sounds
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第一段对轻微地震及第二、三段对强震的描述可知,D项(厨房内餐具晃动并发出响声)是在轻微地震中出现的状况。
2.What can we learn from the passage
A.Aftershocks are not as dangerous as the main part of an earthquake.
B.Aftershocks are even more dangerous than big earthquakes to the rescue workers.
C.Aftershocks always cause more serious harm than the main part of an earthquake.
D.Aftershocks are strong earthquakes following the main part of an earthquake.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第四段对余震的介绍可知,对救援人员而言,余震比强震更危险。
3.The underlined word “collapse” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.
A.fall down B.shake out
C.set up D.break through
解析:选A 词义猜测题。第四段主要介绍了余震的危害,其中之一就是会导致建筑物倒塌。结合画线词后面的“trapping the rescue workers along with the people they are trying to help”可知,画线词意为“坍塌;倒塌”。
4.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A.strong earthquakes can cause tsunamis in the river
B.strong earthquakes are caused by the movements of oceans
C.landslides do less damage than strong earthquakes
D.strong earthquakes can cause other big natural disasters
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中对强震还可能会导致海啸、山体滑坡、雪崩的介绍可推知,强震还可能会导致其他破坏性较大的自然灾害,因此D项正确。
Ⅱ.语法填空
M:Have you heard the saying, “Clothes make the man”? It might be __1__ (true) than we imagine.
W:Yeah. When a police officer or firefighter wears their uniform, it probably gives __2__ (they) a sense of responsibility.

1.truer 根据空后than we imagine可知,此处应用形容词比较级。
2.them 此空所填单词应作give的宾语,故应填they的宾格。
3.as 与前面的serve搭配使用,意为“作为”。

20.A.day B.climate
C.earth D.weather
解析:选B 句意:恐龙不能度过这样寒冷的气候。climate“气候”;weather常指短期的天气变化,故选B。

THE LAKE OF HEAVENChangbaishan is in Jilin Province, Northeast China. Much of this beautiful, mountainous area is thick forest. Changbaishan is China's largest nature reserve and it is kept in its natural state for the people of China and visitors from all over the world to enjoy. The land varies in height from700 metres above sea level to① over 2,000 metres and is home to② a great diversity③ of rare plants and animals. Among the rare animals are cranes④, black bears, leopards⑤ and tigers⑥. Many people come to Changbaishan to study its unique plants and animals. Others come to walk in the mountains, to see the spectacular⑦ waterfalls or to bathe⑧ in the hot water pools.

天池
[第1~2段译文]
长白山在中国东北部的吉林省,这个美丽的山区大部分是茂密的林区。长白山是中国最大的自然保护区,保持着它的原始状态,以供中国人民和世界各地的游客们欣赏。这里地面的高度从海拔700米到2 000多米不等,是多种多样稀有动植物的生长地。珍稀动物有鹤、黑熊、豹子和老虎。许多人到长白山来研究珍奇的动植物。另外一些人则是到山里来走一走,看看那些蔚为壮观的瀑布,或者在温水池里泡个澡。然而保护区里最值得欣赏的地方则是天池,或者说是天上的湖。
天池是一个深水湖,是由山顶一个死火山的火山口形成的。湖的海拔为2 194米,水的深度超过200米。到冬天湖面就全部结冰了。从路的尽头到山顶大约要爬一个小时。你一到达山顶就会得到回报——你不仅可以看到天池那清澈的湖水,而且可以看到天池四周其他16座山峰的景色。
There are many stories told about Tianchi . The most well known concerns three young women from heaven. They were bathing in Tianchi when a bird flew above them and dropped a small fruit onto the dress of the youngest girl. When she picked up the fruit to smell it, it flew into her mouth. Having swallowed the fruit, the girl became pregnant and later gave birth to a handsome boy. It is said that this boy, who had a great gift for languages and persuasion, is the father of the Manchu people.If you are lucky enough to visit the Lake of Heaven with your loved one, don't forget to make a wish to guarantee your love will be as deep and lasting as the lake itself. 过去分词短语told about Tianchi作定语,修饰stories。 concern v.涉及;与……有关 was/were doing ... when ... 表示“正在做……,这时……”。 drop ... onto ... 把……扔在……上 give birth to 生小孩;产仔have a gift for 具有……禀赋/天分persuasion/p 'sweI n/n.信服;说服Manchu/m n't u /n.满族。中国的一个少数民族。It is said that ...意为“据说……”,who had a great gift for ...是who引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰this boy。guarantee/ ɡ r n'ti /vt.保证;担保
[第3~4段译文],天池有着许多传说故事,其中最著名的是关于从天上下凡的三位少女的故事。她们在天池洗澡时,突然有一只鸟飞到她们的上方,把一个小小的水果扔在最年轻的姑娘的衣服上。当她拿起水果来闻的时候,它飞进了她的嘴里。姑娘吞食了这个果子,后来就怀了孕。之后她生下了一个漂亮的男孩。据说这个男孩就是满族人的祖先,他具有很强的语言天赋和说服力。,如果你有幸同你所爱的人去游天池,别忘了许个愿以确保你们的爱情像湖水一样深厚、持久。

二、勤练高考题型,多练自能生巧
Ⅰ.阅读理解
During a small earthquake, you will feel a little shaking. Pictures hanging on the walls might move back and forth. Dishes might rattle (发出响声) inside the kitchen cabinet. A lamp might possibly fall and break.
In a very strong earthquake,you might be thrown upward or down to the ground. Cracks might appear in the ground. Windows might be broken. Buildings and bridges might fall down. People might be injured or even killed.
Strong earthquakes often suddenly break electric wires. That means electric lights and machines will not work. Water pipes sometimes break, so people have no water to drink. Pipes that carry natural gas, and tanks that hold petrol and dangerous chemicals, can break and start fires.
Aftershocks (余震) are mini quakes that come after the main part of an earthquake. They can cause even more damage. Aftershocks are especially dangerous for rescue workers who have gone into ruined buildings to help people who are trapped inside. The buildings can collapse,_trapping the rescue workers along with the people they are trying to help.
Very strong earthquakes can cause tsunamis in the ocean, which may bring great damage. Earthquakes can cause landslides where dirt and rocks slide down the sides of a mountain and damage buildings and hurt people. Earthquakes can also cause avalanches (雪崩) and heavy snow slide down a mountainside. An avalanche can be just as dangerous as a landslide.
1.All the following may be the results of a strong earthquake EXCEPT that ________.
A.strong bridges fall down
B.people have no water to drink
C.some dangerous chemicals flow out
D.dishes in the kitchen shake and make sounds
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第一段对轻微地震及第二、三段对强震的描述可知,D项(厨房内餐具晃动并发出响声)是在轻微地震中出现的状况。
2.What can we learn from the passage
A.Aftershocks are not as dangerous as the main part of an earthquake.
B.Aftershocks are even more dangerous than big earthquakes to the rescue workers.
C.Aftershocks always cause more serious harm than the main part of an earthquake.
D.Aftershocks are strong earthquakes following the main part of an earthquake.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第四段对余震的介绍可知,对救援人员而言,余震比强震更危险。
3.The underlined word “collapse” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.
A.fall down B.shake out
C.set up D.break through
解析:选A 词义猜测题。第四段主要介绍了余震的危害,其中之一就是会导致建筑物倒塌。结合画线词后面的“trapping the rescue workers along with the people they are trying to help”可知,画线词意为“坍塌;倒塌”。
4.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A.strong earthquakes can cause tsunamis in the river
B.strong earthquakes are caused by the movements of oceans
C.landslides do less damage than strong earthquakes
D.strong earthquakes can cause other big natural disasters
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中对强震还可能会导致海啸、山体滑坡、雪崩的介绍可推知,强震还可能会导致其他破坏性较大的自然灾害,因此D项正确。
Ⅱ.语法填空
M:Have you heard the saying, “Clothes make the man”? It might be __1__ (true) than we imagine.
W:Yeah. When a police officer or firefighter wears their uniform, it probably gives __2__ (they) a sense of responsibility.
M:Absolutely. When a judge wears that heavy black robe (长袍), it shows an image of power, but it also serves __3__ a reminder of their position.
W:I know. I feel much more confident when I wear a nice suit.
M:Yeah, I think everyone has recognized the power of clothes, but that's not exactly __4__ I wear a tie to work every day.

M:Yes. I think wearing a shirt and tie __6__ (actual) affects the way my brain works.
W:It's kind of like an actor __7__ (try) to play a role. You have to have the right costume!
M:I think that's a good way of expressing it. I'm sure it's much harder for actors and actresses __8__ (get) into the character __9__ they put on the right costume.
W:Yeah, but after the clothes, they look in the mirror and their __10__ (brain) are able to shift into the role.
1.________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________
5.________ 6.________ 7.________ 8.________
9.________ 10.________
1.truer 根据空后than we imagine可知,此处应用形容词比较级。
2.them 此空所填单词应作give的宾语,故应填they的宾格。
3.as 与前面的serve搭配使用,意为“作为”。
4.why 本句意为:那根本不是我为什么每天都戴领带去上班的原因。
5.makes 根据空前的it及本句时态可知,此处应填makes。
6.actually 修饰动词affects应用副词形式。
7.trying an actor与try是逻辑上的主动关系,故此处应用现在分词。
8.to get 分析句子结构可知,此句中it是形式主语,而后面的不定式to get into the character是真正的主语。
9.before 分析句子可知,此处要表达“在他们穿上正确的服装之前”的意思。
10.brains 根据空后的谓语动词are来判断,此处应用名词的复数形式。
