Earthquakes have killed many people and have caused serious damage to people's life. Here are some of the worst earthquakes that happened around the world.
Haiti Earthquake
A great earthquake hit Haiti on January 12, 2010. Its center was located just southwest of Port－au－Prince, the capital and largest city of Haiti. It has been the strongest earthquake to hit the country since 1770. It led to 100,000 to 316,000 deaths and left 2 million people homeless and 3 million people in need of immediate help. At least $195 million has been given by different countries, along with a large number of rescue workers to support (支援) rescue efforts.
Kashmir Earthquake
The Kashmir Earthquake happened on the morning of October 8, 2005. It was centered near the city of Muzaffarabad. The official number of deaths was 75,000 and there were 106,000 people who were injured. As Saturday is a normal school day in the area, most students were at school when the earthquake happened. Many young people were buried under destroyed school buildings. Many people were also trapped in their homes. Reports said that entire towns and villages were completely wiped out in northern Pakistan. The serious damage was mainly because of poor buildings.
Indian Ocean Earthquake
Known as the Sumatra－Andaman earthquake, the Indian Ocean Earthquake happened on December 26, 2004. While the earthquake itself lasted for 10 seconds, it caused a tsunami (海啸). The tsunami killed about 200,000 to 310,000 people along the shores (海滨) of Indonesia, Sri Lanka, South India and Thailand. There was one death even happening at Port Elizabeth in South Africa, 8,000 miles away from the center.

On the day the tornado hit, there was no indication that severe weather was on its way—the sky was blue and the sun had been out. The first alert my husband, Jimmy, 67, and I, 65, got came around 9 p．m., from some scrolling text on the TV Jimmy was watching. He ran upstairs to find me in our third璮loor bedroom, and we changed the channel from the presidential primary debate I had been watching to our local Pensacola, Florida, station.
No sooner had we found coverage of the tornado than it was on top of us. It was the loudest thing I have ever heard. The bones of the house shook, and the power went out. The wind began to roar through the house, most likely through blown－out windows and the door to our garage. We had three flights of steps to navigate to get to the relative safety of the first floor, because the cupboard down there is underneath a brick staircase.
I didn't know how or if we would make it down the steps. It felt as if there were no floor underneath me as the wind lifted me off my feet. I tried to move forward, but this intense pressure held me in place.
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 crashed into the door frame. It flew over our heads, missing us by inches. Had we been one step up, it would have hit us.
By the time I reached the cupboard, the tornado had been over us for about a minute. Jimmy pushed me down to the cupboard floor, but he couldn't get inside himself because of the wind. I held Jimmy's arm and tried to bring Jimmy with it. My knees were full of glass, but at that moment, I felt no pain. If I had let go, Jimmy would have flown right out the back of the house and into the bay.
All of a sudden, Jimmy lifted off his feet like people in tornadoes do in the movies. I thought he was gone. And 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.”
Our neighbor said the storm lasted four minutes. In that time, four of the twelve town houses in our unit were completely destroyed. Of the houses left standing, ours suffered the most damage. Amazingly, none of us were severely injured.
24．Where did the husband first get the warning information about the tornado?
A．From the weather forecast.
B．From a movie he was watching.
C．From the local broadcast station.
D．From the moving words on a TV programme.
25．What does the underlined word “coverage” mean?
A．Power. B．Description.
C．Arrival. D．Delay.
26．Why didn't the wife feel pain?
A．Because she didn't get any hurt when the storm hit.
B．Because she was too scared to feel pain.
C．Because she used all her strength to hold on to her husband.
D．Because she had reached the cupboard and she was safe.
27．What's the author's purpose by writing the passage?
A．To share with us her experience of surviving a tornado.
B．To warn us of the danger caused by tornados.
C．To show us how to fight against a tornado.
D．To tell us how to protect us from dangerous tornados.
C
An earthquake is one of the most common natural disasters. It may cause great damage. So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members.
Fragile items like those made of glass are easily broken and should usually be placed on a lower surface, near the ground instead of placing them in the cupboards higher up. Never place them near your bed, sofas and other furniture where you would be sitting or lying down. When there is a strong movement, these pieces will fall on the floor directly and not on you.
There is a strong chance of short circuits and fire during an earthquake. Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.
During an earthquake, lie beneath an object that is not easily damaged. Do not go near objects that could directly fall on you. Never use the elevator to go down. Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Research has shown that most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go out. Use the staircases (楼梯) at all times.
If you are outdoors, do not take shelter under a tree, streetlights, electric poles or tall buildings. If you are driving, stop your car and stay in a safe place. Do not park your car under a tree or any tall object.
If trapped in ruins, cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing. Tap on a pipe or the wall so rescuers can find you. Use a whistle (哨子) if one is available. Never shout for help. Shouting can cause you to breathe in dangerous amounts of dust. Do not light a match because you may burn yourself. Do not move about or kick up dust.
28．The purpose of the passage is to tell readers ________.
A．the damage caused by earthquakes
B．the rescue work after earthquakes
C．how to prevent earthquakes
D．what to do about earthquakes
29．The underlined word “Fragile” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”．
A．easily found B．easily broken
C．expensive D．heavy
30．To reduce the injury from the earthquake, items made of glass should be put ________.
A．in the cupboards
B．on a lower surface
C．in the bedroom
D．in a place where children can't reach them
31．During the earthquake, people are advised to ________.
A．go out of the building at once
B．shout for help
C．take shelter under a tree
D．turn off electricity and gas immediately
D
California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor (因素) .
The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46,000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds. No area was spared or unaffected, from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.
Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick McIntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources (资源) .
But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010, McIntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.
The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed , taking into account such things as rainfall , air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of snowmelt (融雪) .
Since the 1930s, McIntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.
32．What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A．The seriousness of big－tree loss in California.
B．The increasing variety of California big trees.
C．The distribution of big trees in California forests.
D．The influence of farming on big trees in California.
33．Which of the following is well－intentioned but may be bad for big trees?
A．Ecological studies of forests.
B．Banning woodcutting.
C．Limiting housing development.
D．Fire control measures.
34．What is a major cause of the water shortage according to McIntyre?
A．Inadequate snowmelt. B．A longer dry season.
C．A warmer climate. D．Dampness of the air.
35．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．California's Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?
B．Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California Soon
C．Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?
D．Patrick McIntyre: Grow More Big Trees in California

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面的短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
I received a call today asking if I would be ready to bring food to a family in need. The mother was having a major operation and would be lying down for several weeks. Of course, I responded with an immediate “Yes！”. As I planned the meal, in my head I reflected on how many times over the years I had been asked to prepare food. I have done countless times with a very open heart!
But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life. When my mother passed away, our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks. A woman from the church of our community stopped by each evening with some food. The gift of food was her way of trying to ease our pain.
Later in my life, when I was on bed rest during my pregnancy with twins, women of the church again stepped in to help. They arranged babysitting for my two－year－old daughter, and brought lovely dinners to our house. Even when I was put in the hospital, my husband would bring cooked meals to my hospital room. How we relied on these dinners to feed my tired husband and young daughter.
Food is all about comfort. It feeds our bodies, but it can also feed our souls. When you hear people talking about their favorite holidays , it usually includes their feelings connected with sharing food. I know that I will have many more opportunities in my lifetime to prepare food for others. It is truly a gift I want to prepare and deliver to someone in need.

To finish today's programme, I want to tell you about the Rose Shopping Centre. It's taken three years to build and finally opened three weeks ago.
Firstly, getting there; there are organized coach trips from most towns but they leave early and come back very late, so I drove. You can also get there by subway, but the station is 15 minutes from the centre by bus, and the buses are really crowded.
The shops don't open till 10 am except on Saturday when they open at 9：00. They close at 8 o'clock every day except Friday when they're open until 9 pm.
The centre has three floors. There are 25 different shops on F1 and F2, and there are seven different banks on F3, as well as several restaurants and a cinema.
Although I had a good day, I had one complaint. Everywhere was at first quite clean but people were dropping their fast food boxes and empty drink cans on the ground because there weren't any garbage cans to throw them in. Thank you all for listening! That's all for today's programme.

28．答案与解析：D 考查主旨大意。根据文章第一段的最后一句“So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members”可知，本文讲了一些应对地震的简单的安全建议，从而可以有效地保护自己与家人。
29．答案与解析：B 考查词义猜测。根据画线词后的“like those made of glass are easily broken”可知，画线词的意思是“易碎的”。故选B项。
30．答案与解析：B 考查细节理解。根据文章第二段中的“Fragile items...and should usually be placed on a lower surface, near the ground instead of placing them in the cupboards higher up”可知应把那些玻璃制品放置在接近地面的较低处。故选B项。
31．答案与解析：D 考查细节理解。根据文章第三段的最后一句“Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens”可知，当地震发生时，要设法确保立即关闭电源插头和天然气。故选D。
D
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇调查报告。调查表明，加利福尼亚州的大树变少了，而气候变化是其中的一个主要因素。
32．答案与解析：A 主旨大意题。第二段中通过列举一系列数字表明，加利福尼亚州的大树减少的严重性，故A项正确。
33．答案与解析：D 推理判断题。文章第三段提到了造成加利福尼亚州的大树减少的三个因素：woodcutters, housing development与aggressive wildfire control。前两个因素直接与大树的减少有关，如果能控制住，大树就不会减少；而第三个因素——控制野火的措施使得加利福尼亚州的森林里满是跟大树争夺资源的小树，初衷是为了控制野火，这是好的，实则对大树不利，故D项正确(好心办坏事)。
34．答案与解析：C 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“...the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures...”可知，水不足的主要原因就是气温升高(rising temperatures)，即更加温暖的气候，故C项正确。
35．答案与解析：A 标题归纳题。本文是一篇调查报告，第一段就点出主题：California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s。后面具体分析了加利福尼亚州大树的现状、造成大树减少的原因等，A项作为标题最合适。

37．答案与解析：E 根据上文“Simply walking and taking in the view is stress reducing.”可知，E项“It's a time to get stressful thoughts out of your head.”可承接上文。
38．答案与解析：A 上句提到“我们一提到自然就会想到去开阔的地方”，空白处提出问题“但如果在城市该怎么办？”随后总结“自然随处可见”。
39．答案与解析：F 本段主要讲用听音乐来使自己平静，F项讲音乐的作用，且选项F中有原词(music)复现。
40．答案与解析：C 本段讲的是通过某些活动使自己平静。上句提到瑜伽和太极活动，C项“They are perfect for active calming.”中的they指代的是上句提到的瑜伽和太极活动。

Earthquakes have killed many people and have caused serious damage to people's life. Here are some of the worst earthquakes that happened around the world.
Haiti Earthquake
A great earthquake hit Haiti on January 12, 2010. Its center was located just southwest of Port－au－Prince, the capital and largest city of Haiti. It has been the strongest earthquake to hit the country since 1770. It led to 100,000 to 316,000 deaths and left 2 million people homeless and 3 million people in need of immediate help. At least $195 million has been given by different countries, along with a large number of rescue workers to support (支援) rescue efforts.
Kashmir Earthquake
The Kashmir Earthquake happened on the morning of October 8, 2005. It was centered near the city of Muzaffarabad. The official number of deaths was 75,000 and there were 106,000 people who were injured. As Saturday is a normal school day in the area, most students were at school when the earthquake happened. Many young people were buried under destroyed school buildings. Many people were also trapped in their homes. Reports said that entire towns and villages were completely wiped out in northern Pakistan. The serious damage was mainly because of poor buildings.
Indian Ocean Earthquake
Known as the Sumatra－Andaman earthquake, the Indian Ocean Earthquake happened on December 26, 2004. While the earthquake itself lasted for 10 seconds, it caused a tsunami (海啸). The tsunami killed about 200,000 to 310,000 people along the shores (海滨) of Indonesia, Sri Lanka, South India and Thailand.

On the day the tornado hit, there was no indication that severe weather was on its way—the sky was blue and the sun had been out. The first alert my husband, Jimmy, 67, and I, 65, got came around 9 p．m., from some scrolling text on the TV Jimmy was watching. He ran upstairs to find me in our third璮loor bedroom, and we changed the channel from the presidential primary debate I had been watching to our local Pensacola, Florida, station.
No sooner had we found coverage of the tornado than it was on top of us. It was the loudest thing I have ever heard. The bones of the house shook, and the power went out. The wind began to roar through the house, most likely through blown－out windows and the door to our garage. We had three flights of steps to navigate to get to the relative safety of the first floor, because the cupboard down there is underneath a brick staircase.
I didn't know how or if we would make it down the steps. It felt as if there were no floor underneath me as the wind lifted me off my feet. I tried to move forward, but this intense pressure held me in place.
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 crashed into the door frame. It flew over our heads, missing us by inches. Had we been one step up, it would have hit us.
By the time I reached the cupboard, the tornado had been over us for about a minute. Jimmy pushed me down to the cupboard floor, but he couldn't get inside himself because of the wind. I held Jimmy's arm and tried to bring Jimmy with it. My knees were full of glass, but at that moment, I felt no pain. If I had let go, Jimmy would have flown right out the back of the house and into the bay.
All of a sudden, Jimmy lifted off his feet like people in tornadoes do in the movies. I thought he was gone. And 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.”
Our neighbor said the storm lasted four minutes. In that time, four of the twelve town houses in our unit were completely destroyed. Of the houses left standing, ours suffered the most damage. Amazingly, none of us were severely injured.
24．Where did the husband first get the warning information about the tornado?
A．From the weather forecast.
B．From a movie he was watching.
C．From the local broadcast station.
D．From the moving words on a TV programme.
25．What does the underlined word “coverage” mean?
A．Power. B．Description.
C．Arrival. D．Delay.
26．Why didn't the wife feel pain?
A．Because she didn't get any hurt when the storm hit.
B．Because she was too scared to feel pain.
C．Because she used all her strength to hold on to her husband.
D．Because she had reached the cupboard and she was safe.
27．What's the author's purpose by writing the passage?
A．To share with us her experience of surviving a tornado.
B．To warn us of the danger caused by tornados.
C．To show us how to fight against a tornado.
D．To tell us how to protect us from dangerous tornados.
C
An earthquake is one of the most common natural disasters. It may cause great damage. So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members.
Fragile items like those made of glass are easily broken and should usually be placed on a lower surface, near the ground instead of placing them in the cupboards higher up. Never place them near your bed, sofas and other furniture where you would be sitting or lying down. When there is a strong movement, these pieces will fall on the floor directly and not on you.
There is a strong chance of short circuits and fire during an earthquake. Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.
During an earthquake, lie beneath an object that is not easily damaged. Do not go near objects that could directly fall on you. Never use the elevator to go down. Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Research has shown that most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go out. Use the staircases (楼梯) at all times.
If you are outdoors, do not take shelter under a tree, streetlights, electric poles or tall buildings. If you are driving, stop your car and stay in a safe place. Do not park your car under a tree or any tall object.
If trapped in ruins, cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing. Tap on a pipe or the wall so rescuers can find you. Use a whistle (哨子) if one is available. Never shout for help. Shouting can cause you to breathe in dangerous amounts of dust. Do not light a match because you may burn yourself. Do not move about or kick up dust.
28．The purpose of the passage is to tell readers ________.
A．the damage caused by earthquakes
B．the rescue work after earthquakes
C．how to prevent earthquakes
D．what to do about earthquakes
29．The underlined word “Fragile” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”．
A．easily found B．easily broken
C．expensive D．heavy
30．To reduce the injury from the earthquake, items made of glass should be put ________.
A．in the cupboards
B．on a lower surface
C．in the bedroom
D．in a place where children can't reach them
31．During the earthquake, people are advised to ________.
A．go out of the building at once
B．shout for help
C．take shelter under a tree
D．turn off electricity and gas immediately
D
California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor (因素) .
The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46,000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds. No area was spared or unaffected, from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.
Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick McIntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources (资源) .
But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010, McIntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.
The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed , taking into account such things as rainfall , air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of snowmelt (融雪) .
Since the 1930s, McIntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.
32．What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A．The seriousness of big－tree loss in California.
B．The increasing variety of California big trees.
C．The distribution of big trees in California forests.
D．The influence of farming on big trees in California.
33．Which of the following is well－intentioned but may be bad for big trees?
A．Ecological studies of forests.
B．Banning woodcutting.
C．Limiting housing development.
D．Fire control measures.
34．What is a major cause of the water shortage according to McIntyre?
A．Inadequate snowmelt. B．A longer dry season.
C．A warmer climate. D．Dampness of the air.
35．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．California's Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?
B．Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California Soon
C．Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?
D．Patrick McIntyre: Grow More Big Trees in California

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面的短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
I received a call today asking if I would be ready to bring food to a family in need. The mother was having a major operation and would be lying down for several weeks. Of course, I responded with an immediate “Yes！”. As I planned the meal, in my head I reflected on how many times over the years I had been asked to prepare food. I have done countless times with a very open heart!
But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life. When my mother passed away, our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks. A woman from the church of our community stopped by each evening with some food. The gift of food was her way of trying to ease our pain.
Later in my life, when I was on bed rest during my pregnancy with twins, women of the church again stepped in to help. They arranged babysitting for my two－year－old daughter, and brought lovely dinners to our house. Even when I was put in the hospital, my husband would bring cooked meals to my hospital room. How we relied on these dinners to feed my tired husband and young daughter.
Food is all about comfort. It feeds our bodies, but it can also feed our souls. When you hear people talking about their favorite holidays , it usually includes their feelings connected with sharing food. I know that I will have many more opportunities in my lifetime to prepare food for others. It is truly a gift I want to prepare and deliver to someone in need.

(Text 10)
To finish today's programme, I want to tell you about the Rose Shopping Centre. It's taken three years to build and finally opened three weeks ago.
Firstly, getting there; there are organized coach trips from most towns but they leave early and come back very late, so I drove. You can also get there by subway, but the station is 15 minutes from the centre by bus, and the buses are really crowded.
The shops don't open till 10 am except on Saturday when they open at 9：00. They close at 8 o'clock every day except Friday when they're open until 9 pm.
The centre has three floors. There are 25 different shops on F1 and F2, and there are seven different banks on F3, as well as several restaurants and a cinema.
Although I had a good day, I had one complaint. Everywhere was at first quite clean but people were dropping their fast food boxes and empty drink cans on the ground because there weren't any garbage cans to throw them in. Thank you all for listening! That's all for today's programme.

One possible version：
Dear Susan，
I am Li Hua, whom you sent to the hospital last month. I am writing to thank you for your help.
On Monday, I rode my bike to school as usual. Because of lack of sleep the night before, I felt a little tired. When a car rushed to me at the corner, I fell off the bike and my leg was hurt badly, but the car drove away quickly. Luckily, you were just at the site. You called 120 to send me to the hospital at once.
Without your help, I would not have recovered so quickly. Thank you again.
Yours，
Li Hua
