(2011·南京)阅读下面短文,根据所读内容,在文章后第1—10小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填一个单词。(10分)
What is a hurricane
You may already know that hurricanes are storms that can cause devastating(毁灭性的) waves,wind,and rain.They happen during “Hurricane Season,” which is from June 1st until November 30th in the Atlantic Ocean and from May 15th until November 30th in the Pacific Ocean.
Categories(类别)of Hurricanes
There are five categories of hurricanes,which are based on wind speeds.The categories help people know how much damage(危害)a hurricane may cause because the greater the wind speed,the more dangerous the storm.For example,a Category 5 hurricane has winds over 155 miles per hour,which are strong enough to destroy the buildings along the shorelines completely.
Hurricane Dangers
When a hurricane happens together with heavy rainfall,there can be a devastating flood.The centre of a hurricane is called the eye.While most of a hurricane has dangerously strong
winds,the eye is actually(事实上)a calm area in the storm.When the eye of a hurricane passes over land,people might think that it's over,but before long the wind and rain increase again as the second part of the hurricane moves through.
Hurricane Safety Tips
There is no way to stop a hurricane or make it change direction, so if you ever find yourself in the path of a hurricane,be sure to remember the following safety tips.
·Be sure you have a radio,batteries,fresh drinking water,and enough food.
·Tell neighbours,friends,and family members your emergency plans.Tell them where you'll go if you need to leave your home.
·If you live near the ocean,leave your home and travel to a safe place.You could stay with a friend or a family member,in a hotel/motel,or in an emergency shelter area.
·Stay inside during the storm.You could be seriously injured(受伤)if you go outside.

Passage 3
(2011·临沂)阅读短文,完成1~5小题。(10分)
Greg Woodburn,a university student,spends a lot of time cleaning sports shoes.Some of them once belonged to him;some belonged to his friends.But soon the shoes will have new owners—poor children in the USA and 20 other countries,thanks to Greg's Share Our Soles(鞋底)(S.O.S)charity.
Greg was a high school running star in a small town in California.He had to stop running for months because his knee was injured.“I started thinking about all the things I
got from running —the health,the friendships,and the confidence,” he says.“And I realized there're children who don't even have shoes.”
Greg collected his own sports shoes and then called his friends and the town. His aim was to have 100 pairs by Christmas 2006.When the number climbed to more than 500 pairs,Greg knew that he could collect sports shoes all year round.
Now,he has set up collection boxes in his town. So far,S.O.S. has collected and donated more than 3,000 pairs of shoes. And Greg has cleaned almost all of them.“People
think of it as dirty work,”he says,“but I like doing it,because I feel happy when I'm doing it. It's not work I want to pass on to someone else.”
In just three years,Greg has started three branches(分部)of S.O.S.,and there are more and more sports shoes.
For many poor children who have received,the shoes mean opportunity. Two young boys in southern California used to go to school on alternate days(隔日) because they both shared a pair of shoes. They were too big for one boy and too small for the other. Thanks to S.O.S.,each brother received his own pair of shoes. The boys now go to school every day.
When they graduate,they say,they will help others,just as Greg helped them.

Passage 2
(2011·陕西)阅读下面短文,根据短文内容,完成下列各题。(10分)
Bollywood:the Hollywood of India
You might be surprised to learn that India produces about 800 movies a year,and that number continues to grow. Just as the movie capital of the United States is Hollywood,the movie capital of India is Bombay(孟买),but it is usually called“Bollywood”,a combination(结合)of the words Bombay and Hollywood.
No Bollywood movie is thought complete without a few
songs and dances. In fact,music is an important part of Bollywood movies. Even a bad movie can still do well if the music is good. Music directors are sometimes more popular than the film stars. A Bollywood movie has five to six songs with at least three songs to show what the dances mean.
Bollywood may be different from Hollywood in music,but it is very like Hollywood in several ways. If Tom Cruise can hold a gun,so can the Bollywood hero Sharukh Khan. Bollywood stars are followed by news reporters just as often as Hollywood stars. The personal lives of actors and actresses catch the headlines(头版头条),just as they do in the United States.
The Oscars are a very exciting time of the year for actors and actresses in America.Bollywood has its own form of the Oscars,and they are also very exciting.
