A
According to statistics(统计数字), more than 100 million Chinese suffer from natural disasters every year. Many natural disasters are likely to hit China, including typhoons, droughts, earthquakes, fires, landslides and serious snowstorms. Northern China mostly suffers from droughts while the southern and central provinces suffer from water and wind-related disasters. Floods are common in central and southern China because these areas have higher rainfalls than the north. They also have wetlands, lakes and so many rivers like the Yangtze River. Heavy rainfalls often cause the water levels to rise dangerously.
Natural disasters almost always cause human and material losses. In 2008 China met one of the deadliest earthquakes in the country in recent years. The earthquake was centred in the small town of Wenchuan, in Sichuan province, but its effects were felt throughout the whole province and even as far away as Beijing. More than 70 thousand people died while over 370 thousand were seriously injured. Farmlands, housed, animals and crops were severely damaged or entirely destroyed.
These material losses from natural disasters, on top of the injuries and deaths, lead to further suffering long after the disasters have passed. China experienced this just recently, as it is still dealing with the effects of the worst snowstorms in fifty years. In January and February of 2008 unexpected changes in weather in central and southern China led to heavy snowstorms that cut off power lines and blocked roads and railway tracks. Millions of people could not go back to their homes for the Spring Festival holiday. The human losses were not very high, but many farmers’ crops were destroyed. By January 31st the total economic loss had reached 53.8 billion yuan.

A. Natural disasters can cause great losses.
B. Floods are common in central and southern China.
C. Natural disasters often occur in China.
D. The deadliest earthquake happened in China.
2. Why do floods often happen in southern China?
A. Southern China has many rivers.
B. Southern China has higher rainfalls.
C. Southern China has serious snowstorms.
D. Southern China has many wetlands and big lakes.
3. Which of the following was NOT a result of the 2008 snowstorms in China?
A. The power lines were cut off.
B. The roads and railway tracks were blocked.
C. Many farmers’ houses were destroyed.
D. Millions of people could not go back home.
4. According to the passage, which of the following disasters is most likely to happen in Hubei province?

5. Which of the following sentences is TRUE according to the passage?
A. China has more disasters than other countries.
B. The central part of China has had few disasters than other parts.
C. The number of people killed in the Wenchuan earthquake was the largest in modern history.

Dear Li Jun,
Last night I saw a TV documentary(纪实电视节目)about the 1976 Tangshan earthquake in China. I noticed one thing that is common with most natural disasters. The killer disasters come either early in the morning or late at night, when people are either resting or preparing to rest and, unfortunately, when people are least attentive to warning signs.
The Tangshan disaster struck early in the morning when the people were still sleeping. Many people died in their sleep. Miners were trapped deep below the earth. Some died. Survivors waited in the dark. They hoped that rescuers would come and pull them out. It is a horrible thing to be in a situation where you can do nothing to save yourself.
It seems that, Mother Nature has always attacked us as if she were afraid that we would fight back. Otherwise why would she come only as a thief? I have a story to tell you. This one happened in August 1986 in the villages near Lake Nyos in Cameroon’s northwest province. Large amounts of carbon dioxide(CO2) gas had been collecting at the bottom of the lake. It was clear that nobody knew about the gas or about how dangerous it was. Suddenly, before dawn on August 26, 1986, a large quantity of gas was released(gave off)from the lake. CO2 is heavier than air, so it spread out over the nearby villages. The blanket of CO2 floated for 25 kilometres. Many people died in their sleep from lack of oxygen(O2). Before sunrise, more than 1,700 people had lost their lives. And thousands of animals were also killed by the gas. At first scientists believed that the gas was caused by an earthquake or a volcano. However, further studies proved that there had been no volcanic activity. Nobody is very certain how such a large amount of gas was released from the lake. Scientists from the USA, the EU, Japan and Cameroon have been studying the lake for the past twenty years. Yet they still have not found an answer.
Well, Jun, let me leave Mother Nature and her timid(胆小的)way of attacking us. I need to run out for some noodles at a nearby Chinese restaurant.
Take good care of yourself.
Theresa

A. They were watching TV. B. They were preparing to rest.
C. They were mining below the earth. D. They were sleeping.
7. What caused so many people to die near Lake Nyos?
A. A large quantity of poisonous gas. B. A lack of oxygen.
C. A thick cloud in the sky. D. A thief.
8. Which of the following sentences is NOT true according to the passage?
A. People seem to be more attentive to signs of disasters in the daytime.
B. The author is familiar with China.
C. Mother Nature was afraid that people would fight back.
D. Animals were also killed by the gas near Lake Nyos.
9. What does the underlined sentence mean at the end of the letter?
A. The writer decided to leave nature and hide away.
B. The writer decided not to fight with nature because she was timid.
C. The writer decided to stop writing about the topic.
D. The writer decided to attack nature bravely.
10. What figure of speech is used in the name of “Mother Nature”?

C. Personification. (拟人) D. Comparison. (比较)

M: So what happened then?
W: Well, first I found something to eat. I didn’t know what it was, but I was so hungry and I had to eat something. Fortunately it was not poisonous. Then suddenly I remembered that when you are lost in the forest, you are supposed to look for a river. Firstly because you need water to drink, and also because rivers lead out of the forest. So I set out to find a river.
M: Did you find it?
W: I walked all day until I couldn’t walk any more, and I found nothing. That evening, I realized that I might never find my way out. I might die in the forest and no one would ever find me.
M: Wow! You must have felt really lonely and frightened!
W: I did, but just as I was going to give up, I saw a monkey sitting in a tree. He had come over to me to see what I was doing and he started chatting at me and leaping from branch to branch. That made me laugh. I decided at the moment that somehow I was going to survive.
M: So what happened finally?
W: The next morning, the rescue team came and I was saved!

Ⅱ. 听录音，根据短文内容完成下列句子
The Tangshan earthquake of July 28th, 1976, which hit in the early morning and lasted for around 15 seconds, left about 242,000 people dead, according to the official figures. A further over 164,000 people were recorded as being severely injured.
Many people in Tangshan reported seeing strange lights, so-called “earthquake lights”, the night before the earthquake. Well water in a village outside the city of Tangshan rose and fell three times the day before the earthquake. It has also been reported that animals in the area sensed the earthquake before it struck. It was said that thousands of chickens refused to eat and acted wildly. There were also reports that dogs kept barking and goldfish jumped out of their bowls. Most animals in the city did in fact survive.

参考范文：
Dear Sir，
I am very glad that your school will hold the English Summer Camp that contains many courses, such as gardening, cooking, self-rescue, nursing and so on. After my consideration, I want to attend a course about self-rescue, in which I want to learn how to survive when an accident happens or a natural disaster strikes.
I think the?big?earthquake?that happened?in?Wenchuan,?Sichuan?province is still a big shock to all of us. During the earthquake, thousands of people were trapped inside the ruins because the rescue team was unable to get them out. What a terrible thing! Of course, we can’t prevent the accidents or disasters, but we can be prepared. That is why I want to take this course. For one thing, I hope to gain some self-rescue skills so that I can stay calm when something bad happens. What’s more, I will be able to offer help to others if necessary.
I am looking forward to your course beginning soon.
Yours truly,
Wang Hua

According to statistics(统计数字), more than 100 million Chinese suffer from natural disasters every year. Many natural disasters are likely to hit China, including typhoons, droughts, earthquakes, fires, landslides and serious snowstorms. Northern China mostly suffers from droughts while the southern and central provinces suffer from water and wind-related disasters. Floods are common in central and southern China because these areas have higher rainfalls than the north. They also have wetlands, lakes and so many rivers like the Yangtze River. Heavy rainfalls often cause the water levels to rise dangerously.
Natural disasters almost always cause human and material losses. In 2008 China met one of the deadliest earthquakes in the country in recent years. The earthquake was centred in the small town of Wenchuan, in Sichuan province, but its effects were felt throughout the whole province and even as far away as Beijing. More than 70 thousand people died while over 370 thousand were seriously injured. Farmlands, housed, animals and crops were severely damaged or entirely destroyed.
These material losses from natural disasters, on top of the injuries and deaths, lead to further suffering long after the disasters have passed. China experienced this just recently, as it is still dealing with the effects of the worst snowstorms in fifty years. In January and February of 2008 unexpected changes in weather in central and southern China led to heavy snowstorms that cut off power lines and blocked roads and railway tracks. Millions of people could not go back to their homes for the Spring Festival holiday. The human losses were not very high, but many farmers’ crops were destroyed. By January 31st the total economic loss had reached 53.8 billion yuan.

Dear Li Jun,
Last night I saw a TV documentary(纪实电视节目)about the 1976 Tangshan earthquake in China. I noticed one thing that is common with most natural disasters. The killer disasters come either early in the morning or late at night, when people are either resting or preparing to rest and, unfortunately, when people are least attentive to warning signs.
The Tangshan disaster struck early in the morning when the people were still sleeping. Many people died in their sleep. Miners were trapped deep below the earth. Some died. Survivors waited in the dark. They hoped that rescuers would come and pull them out. It is a horrible thing to be in a situation where you can do nothing to save yourself.
It seems that, Mother Nature has always attacked us as if she were afraid that we would fight back. Otherwise why would she come only as a thief? I have a story to tell you. This one happened in August 1986 in the villages near Lake Nyos in Cameroon’s northwest province. Large amounts of carbon dioxide(CO2) gas had been collecting at the bottom of the lake. It was clear that nobody knew about the gas or about how dangerous it was. Suddenly, before dawn on August 26, 1986, a large quantity of gas was released(gave off)from the lake. CO2 is heavier than air, so it spread out over the nearby villages. The blanket of CO2 floated for 25 kilometres. Many people died in their sleep from lack of oxygen(O2). Before sunrise, more than 1,700 people had lost their lives. And thousands of animals were also killed by the gas. At first scientists believed that the gas was caused by an earthquake or a volcano. However, further studies proved that there had been no volcanic activity. Nobody is very certain how such a large amount of gas was released from the lake. Scientists from the USA, the EU, Japan and Cameroon have been studying the lake for the past twenty years. Yet they still have not found an answer.
Well, Jun, let me leave Mother Nature and her timid(胆小的)way of attacking us. I need to run out for some noodles at a nearby Chinese restaurant.
Take good care of yourself.
Theresa

M: So what happened then?
W: Well, first I found something to eat. I didn’t know what it was, but I was so hungry and I had to eat something. Fortunately it was not poisonous. Then suddenly I remembered that when you are lost in the forest, you are supposed to look for a river. Firstly because you need water to drink, and also because rivers lead out of the forest. So I set out to find a river.
M: Did you find it?
W: I walked all day until I couldn’t walk any more, and I found nothing. That evening, I realized that I might never find my way out. I might die in the forest and no one would ever find me.
M: Wow! You must have felt really lonely and frightened!
W: I did, but just as I was going to give up, I saw a monkey sitting in a tree. He had come over to me to see what I was doing and he started chatting at me and leaping from branch to branch. That made me laugh. I decided at the moment that somehow I was going to survive.
M: So what happened finally?
W: The next morning, the rescue team came and I was saved!

Many people in Tangshan reported seeing strange lights, so-called “earthquake lights”, the night before the earthquake. Well water in a village outside the city of Tangshan rose and fell three times the day before the earthquake. It has also been reported that animals in the area sensed the earthquake before it struck. It was said that thousands of chickens refused to eat and acted wildly.

参考范文：
Dear Sir，
I am very glad that your school will hold the English Summer Camp that contains many courses, such as gardening, cooking, self-rescue, nursing and so on. After my consideration, I want to attend a course about self-rescue, in which I want to learn how to survive when an accident happens or a natural disaster strikes.
I think the?big?earthquake?that happened?in?Wenchuan,?Sichuan?province is still a big shock to all of us. During the earthquake, thousands of people were trapped inside the ruins because the rescue team was unable to get them out. What a terrible thing! Of course, we can’t prevent the accidents or disasters, but we can be prepared. That is why I want to take this course. For one thing, I hope to gain some self-rescue skills so that I can stay calm when something bad happens. What’s more, I will be able to offer help to others if necessary.
I am looking forward to your course beginning soon.
Yours truly,
Wang Hua
