Section Ⅲ Grammar
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2019·山西平遥一中高三月考)
October 21 was a very dark day in Texas.Not only did Hurricane Hanna destroy homes，it caused the largest business damage in Texas's history.The worst thing is that Hanna's destructive force nearly wiped out most power poles and power lines.According to Center Point Energy，Hurricane Hanna affected 2.15 million customers.Currently，more than 4,000 of them are still in the dark.Crews have worked 16?hour shifts to restore power for residents.
Most of Houston seems to be returning to normal.Schools，restaurants，retail stores and gas stations are open.Smiles are back.But harder?hit places，including Galveston，will take much longer to recover.Hundreds of people are still missing，and coastal towns are a mess.Some ruins from storms have drifted south to other beaches in Texas.Several public schools in Galveston are closed due to water damage.Parents are registering kids in other area schools which are scheduled to begin class on November 13.Many school supplies were destroyed.
Clara Barton Village is an emergency shelter located at Alamo Elementary School in Galveston，Texas.This is where Paula Reed and her family are staying.Believe it or not，Paula Reed and her family consider this hurricane a blessing.When Paula was a girl，she was an orphan，but was taken in by her stepmom，Antonia Flores.Reed lost contact with Flores and had been trying desperately to locate her for the past few years.Before the hurricane，Reed and her family had moved away from Galveston to a San Antonio shelter.There，she reunited with Flores after 30 long years！The moment they saw each other，their lives were changed.
【语篇解读】 本文讲述了飓风“汉娜”对得克萨斯州产生的影响。
1．What's the most serious damage caused by Hurricane Hanna?
A．Hundreds of people are still missing.
B．A large number of people are homeless.
C．Power facilities are severely destroyed.
D．Factories are closed and many people are jobless.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The worst thing is that Hanna’s destructive force nearly wiped out most power poles and power lines.”可知，飓风“汉娜”造成的最大破坏是电力设施被严重摧毁，故选C。
2．It can be inferred that the residents in Houston ________.
A．have fully recovered from the disaster
B．were the most unlucky people in the disaster
C．need a long time to bring their life back to normal
D．suffered less from Hanna than people in Galveston
解析：选D 推理判断题。通读第二段可知，休斯敦大部分看起来恢复了正常生活，而加尔维斯顿受灾较严重，好多方面还没有恢复正常。由此对比可知，休斯敦的居民比加尔维斯顿的居民受灾情况轻，故选D。
3．Paula Reed and her family consider the hurricane a blessing because ________.
A．they had nothing lost after Hurricane Hanna
B．they lived a happier life in the shelter
C．Paula was taken good care of in the shelter
D．Paula reunited with her stepmother after three decades
解析：选D 细节理解题。由最后一段的“There，she reunited with Flores after 30 long years！”可知，Paula和她的家人认为这场飓风是件好事是因为由于这场飓风Paula和她失散三十年之久的继母重新团聚，故选D。
B
No sooner had my husband，Jimmy，and I found news of the tornado than it was on top of us.It was the loudest thing I have ever heard.The house shook，and the power went out.We had three flights (一段楼梯) of steps to get to the relative safety of the first floor.Because the closet down there was a brick staircase，it seemed like the strongest place in our town house to wait things out.
I didn't know how or if we would make it down the steps.Everything was moving.As we reached the last flight of steps，our front door blew out.Pieces of glass that looked like crushed ice flew everywhere.Suddenly，a three?foot?long tree branch moved through the door frame.It flew over our heads，missing us by inches.
We got close to the landing (楼梯平台) only to hear the loud sound of our garage door coming off.The back wall of the house fell down and tore off into the darkness outside.
By the time I reached the closet，the tornado had been over us for about a minute.Jimmy pushed me down to the closet floor，but he couldn't get inside himself because of the wind.I gripped Jimmy's arm as the tornado tore the door open—we never did get it fully shut—and tried to bring Jimmy with it.My knees and head were full of glass，but in that moment，I felt no pain.If I had let go，Jimmy would have flown right out of the back of the house and into the bay.
“Hold on！Hold on！” he yelled.But there was nothing in this closet to hold on to.We used it to store decorations.
All of a sudden，Jimmy lifted off his feet as people in tornadoes do in the movies.I thought he was gone.But then everything stopped.He landed on his feet.In those first quiet moments，I couldn't believe it was over.Jimmy said he'd go outside to check.“No，” I said.“Don't leave me.Don't leave me.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者和她的丈夫经历龙卷风而幸存下来的故事。
4．Why did the author wonder if they would make it down the steps?
A．They were injured.
B．The steps would be damaged.
C．The tornado was very violent.
D．The front door blew out.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Everything was moving.As we reached the last flight of steps，our front door blew out.Pieces of glass that looked like crushed ice flew everywhere.”可知，正是因为龙卷风很猛，所以作者怀疑他们是否能走下楼梯，故C项正确。
5．What could be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?
A．The couple could hardly shut the closet door.
B．Jimmy flew right out of the back of the house.
C．Jimmy couldn't go into the closet.
D．The author held Jimmy's arm firmly.
解析：选D 推理判断题。文中画线的句子为虚拟语气，作者其实是紧紧地抓住了Jimmy的手臂，所以Jimmy才没有被龙卷风刮走，故D项正确。
6．What can we know about Jimmy?
A．He was blown away by the strong wind.
B．He got through the terrible disaster.
C．He felt disappointed about his wife.
D．He decided to leave his wife alone in the house.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But then everything stopped.He landed on his feet.”可知，Jimmy最终幸存了下来，故B项正确。
7．What's the main idea of the text?
A．How serious the tornado was.
B．The damage the tornado caused.
C．How the couple survived the tornado.
D．Losses the couple suffered in the tornado.
解析：选C 主旨大意题。文中讲述了作者和丈夫经历了龙卷风而幸存下来的故事，故C项正确。

Module 3 The Violence of Nature
Section Ⅰ Introduction & Reading and Vocabulary
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
As the United States prepares for Hurricane Florence，an even bigger ocean storm，Super Typhoon Mangkhut，is set to hit Southeast Asia.The storm also threatens the Philippines and Hong Kong，which may cause great loss of property (财产)，and large numbers of injuries and deaths.
The super typhoon，known as Ompong in the Philippines，has winds of up to 250 kilometers per hour.That is considered a category 5 hurricane in North America，the most severe level.More than 4 million Filipinos live in areas the storm could affect.Emergency officials say nearly 48,000 houses in high?risk areas are made of light materials and could be damaged by the powerful winds.
Experts say Super Typhoon Mangkhut could cause landslides and flooding across the northern Philippine island of Luzon.The super typhoon is expected to reach the Philippines Saturday at the start of the harvest season in Luzon.The island is a major agricultural producer and farmers are trying what they can to save their crops.
Mangkhut already has hit the U．S.?island territory of Guam.The Pacific Daily News reported the storm flooded streets，brought down trees and cut the electrical service.About 80 percent of the island was without power but the service restarted by Thursday morning.
Mangkhut is the 15th storm to hit the Philippines and the most powerful to hit Asia this year.Last week，Typhoon Jebi struck Japan killing more than 10 people.

B．The super typhoon is expected to reach the Philippines after the harvest season.
C．Many trees were pulled down and all electrical services were also broken in Guam.

At the age of ten，my parents thought that I should learn to play an instrument.They chose guitar lessons for me.I had no interest in playing it.All that I wanted to do was to improve my soccer skills.However，my parents believed that playing soccer was a waste of my valuable time.They thought I should use the time to focus on school and develop my brain by taking on a difficult task，such as learning to play music.
However，since the first day of the lessons，I disliked the guitar.While learning to play the guitar，I just wanted to play soccer as much as I could.But what could a ten?year?old do when his parents said they would punish him if he didn't do what they told him to do？Even though I loathed the guitar lessons with all my heart，I went to the instructor week after week.And week after week，I would come back and be tired of the lessons and of the amount of practice required.
After wasting a year of my life learning how to play the guitar，I still had not made much progress.My parents began to realize that I was not born to play the guitar and that I was not having fun trying to learn，either.They finally understood how much I wanted to play soccer.So after one bad year，my parents called the music instructor and told him I would no longer take guitar lessons.
I was very happy.Now I play soccer every day and I play it very well.I do think parents should let their children do what they're good at and what they truly love.

Ⅱ.语法填空

【语篇解读】 这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了他们去夏威夷度假途中的经历以及到了主人家后受到的礼遇，主人热情招待他们，还在工作之余带他们参加了很多当地的活动。
1．解析：考查副词。句意：在我们去那座房子的路上，雨下得如此大以至于我们不能不想还要多久才能到达那里。so...that...意为“如此……以至于……”，引导结果状语从句。故填so。
答案：so
2．解析：考查非谓语动词。句中的“would”提示我们作者还没有到达那座房子，wondering后的句子不缺谓语，此处应填非谓语动词，故填to get。
答案：to get
3．解析：考查介词。a pack of意为“一群”。故填of。
答案：of
4．解析：考查定语从句。句意：它们被他们的主人训练地很好，它们的主人在照顾这些动物方面很有经验。先行词为masters(主人)，且从句缺主语。故关系词填who/that。
答案：who/that
5．解析：考查动词的时态。句意：我们的主人跟我们分享了很多他们的经历并推荐了一些很好的吃饭、购物和参观的地方。and前后两个动作“shared”与“recommended”是并列关系，时态一致。故填recommended。
答案：recommended
6．解析：考查词形转换。由空前的不定冠词“an”与空后的不定式“to watch”可以确定空处应该填名词形式。故填competition。
答案：competition
7．解析：考查词形转换。空处修饰名词stories，应用形容词形式，tradition的形容词为traditional，故填traditional。
答案：traditional
8．解析：考查词形转换。空处单词修饰形容词popular，应用副词形式，huge的副词为hugely，故填hugely。
答案：hugely
9．解析：考查动词的时态和语态。由“on the last day of our week?long stay”可知，句子时态为一般过去时。根据句意：我们被邀请去参加一场私人音乐会，所以用被动语态。主语为we，故填were invited。
答案：were invited
10．解析：考查非谓语动词。本句谓语动词为were invited，所以10题空处动词listen应用非谓语动词形式。听音乐这个动作是由we发出的，所以选用现在分词形式。也可由and前后连接两个并列的结构这一规律解题，and后面的“meeting interesting locals”为分词形式，故空处填listening。
答案：listening
1．loss n．丧失；丢失；损失
2．category n．种类；类别
3．take on 决定做
4．emergency n．紧急情况；不测事件
5．territory n．领土；版图；领地
About 80 percent of the island was without power but the service restarted by Thursday morning.
[分析] “百分数＋of＋名词”作主语时，如果of后面是可数名词单数形式，则谓语动词也用单数形式；如果of后面是可数名词复数形式，则谓语动词也用复数形式；如果of后面是不可数名词，则谓语动词用单数形式。
[翻译] 该岛屿大约百分之八十的地方停电了，但是到了周四上午恢复了(电力)服务。
