Maggie,
a
girl
of
thirteen
years
old,
lived
on
the
west
coast
of
the
United
States.
She
had
never
experienced
an
earthquake
before;
she
only
prepared
for
it.
As
long
as
she
could
remember,
preparing
for
an
earthquake
was
common
at
her
school.
Her
family
had
made
plans
as
well
in
case
of
a
natural
disaster.
One
day,
Maggie
arrived
home
from
school
at
the
usual
time.
However,
it
was
not
the
same
as
usual.
She
was
home
alone.
Her
mom
would
be
driving
home
on
the
busy
freeway
and
her
dad
was
to
arrive
at
the
airport.
He
was
coming
home
from
a
two-week
business
trip.
After
finishing
her
homework,
Maggie
felt
a
little
hungry,
so
she
went
to
the
kitchen
to
find
something
to
eat.
Just
then
she
felt
a
shake,
then
the
violent
shaking.
Maggie
quickly
ran
under
the
large
table
in
the
dining
room.
The
sounds
of
breaking
glass
and
the
crash
of
many
things
were
deafening,
and
Maggie
hugged
herself
in
fear.
After
what
seemed
like
a
very
long
time,
the
earthquake
appeared
to
be
over.
Maggie
could
hear
the
sound
of
water
rushing
below
her
in
the
basement.
And
there
was
the
smell
of
natural
gas
in
the
air.
Maggie
knew
where
the
main
water
valve(阀门)was
and
how
to
turn
it
off.
Dad
had
ever
shown
her
before.
Slowly
and
carefully
she
came
out
from
under
the
table.
The
once
tidy
home
was
then
almost
unrecognizable.
Walls
had
fallen
down
and
many
things
in
the
room
were
in
a
mess.
As
Maggie
approached
the
open
basement
door,
she
could
see
the
steps.
Carefully
she
made
her
way
down
into
the
dark
basement.
While
placing
her
feet
firmly
on
the
floor,
Maggie
felt
a
sudden
pain
as
a
large
wood
hit
her
head
and
shoulder.
She
fell
unconscious
onto
a
pile
of
boxes.
An
hour
later,
she
woke
up
and
found
her
parents
beside
her.
She
was
happy
that
she
was
still
alive!

the
first

Phoenix,
Arizona,
the
USA
was
shaken
by
a
big
sandstorm
recently.
It
was
a
huge
dust
storm
that
struck
Phoenix
a
little
after
7:00
p.m.
local
time.
Arizona
has
sandstorms
particularly
during
the
monsoon(季风)
season
which
usually
starts
from
mid-June
until
the
end
of
September.
However,
this
was
so
far
the
biggest.
The
cloud
of
dust
turned
day
into
night.
Some
trees
were
downed
and
gardens
were
destroyed
and
it
cut
off
the
power
of
thousands
of
local
people
along
the
area,
but
luckily
no
death
happened.
A
number
of
people's
pools
became
dirty
with
dust.
People
who
lived
in
Phoenix
for
more
than
40
years
said
that
this
was
the
first
time
they
had
experienced
this
huge
dust
storm.
It
could
greatly
influence
people's
health.
The
big
dust
cloud
started
in
Tucson
traveling
north
across
the
desert.
The
huge
storm
ran
up
to
60
miles
per
hour.
It
was
more
than
100
miles
wide
and
a
mile
high.
Besides
Phoenix
and
nearby
cities,
the
storm
also
reached
Yuma
area
in
southwestern
and
far
western
Arizona.
It
reduced
the
visibility
(能见度)
in
these
areas,
putting
off
the
flights
at
Phoenix
Sky
Harbor
International
Airport.
The
storm
only
takes
place
in
Arizona,
the
Sahara
Desert
and
areas
of
the
Middle
East,
because
of
the
dry
environment
and
large
amounts
of
sand.
Because
of
the
serious
shortage
of
rain,
there's
a
large
possibility
that
the
water
is
polluted
because
of
the
storm.
8.In
what
season
do
sandstorms
usually
take
place
in
Arizona?
A.In
fall
and
winter. B.In
summer
and
fall.
C.In
winter
and
spring. D.In
spring
and
summer.
9.The
underlined
word
“this”
in
Paragraph
2
refers
to
.?
A.the
storm B.the
wind C.the
desert D.the
state
10.It
is
fortunate
that
though
the
big
sandstorm
happened,
.?
A.people's
health
was
not
influenced
B.it
didn't
do
harm
to
people's
gardens
C.all
the
local
people
in
the
area
survived
D.the
electricity
power
was
not
at
all
affected
11.What
does

There
are
many
gardening
tips.
Some
suggest
playing
music
for
your
houseplants,
having
conversations
with
them,
or
even
giving
them
a
gentle
touch
now
and
then.
Most
of
these
practices
are
probably
more
for
the
benefit
of
the
gardener
than
the
garden,
and
generally
harmless
enough
but
except
the
last
one.
Your
plants
really
dislike
it
when
you
touch
them.
A
new
study
out
of
the
La
Trobe
Institute
for
Agriculture
and
Food
has
found
that
most
plants
are
extremely
sensitive
to
the
touch,
and
even
a
light
touch
can
significantly
stunt(遏制)their
growth.
“The
lightest
touch
from
a
human,
animals,
insects,
or
even
plants'
touching
each
other
in
the
wind,
can
cause
a
huge
gene
response
in
the
plant,”said
Jim
Whelan,
who
led
the
new
study.
“Within
30
minutes
of
being
touched,
10%
of
the
plant's
genome(基因组)can
be
changed.
This
involves
a
huge
expenditure(消耗)of
energy
which
is
taken
away
from
plant
growth.
If
the
touching
is
repeated,
then
plant
growth
is
reduced
by
up
to
30%.”
Whelan
and
his
team
are
still
trying
to
find
out
why
plants
respond,
at
the
genetic
level,
so
strongly.
They
do
have
some
theories,
however.
“We
know
that
when
an
insect
lands
on
a
plant,
genes
are
activated(激活)to
prepare
the
plant
for
defending
itself
against
being
eaten,”
said
Dr.
Yan
Wang,
co-author
of
the
study.
Until
more
research
is
done,
it's
just
a
guess
at
this
point.
Still,
the
findings
might
already
lead
to
new
methods
for
how
agriculturalists
deal
with
their
crops,
to
best
promote
healthier
growth.
It's
worth
noticing
that
while
the
study
has
found
that
plants
often
respond
to
just
a
single
touch
in
negative
ways,
it's
really
repeated
touch
that
causes
lasting
stunted
growth.
That's
because
the
plants
are
looking
for
patterns
in
the
touching,
to
tell
harmful
touch
from
random
touch.
So
it
doesn't
matter
if
you
accidentally
brush
up
against
a
bush
during
a
walk
through
the
woods.
12.How
is
the
passage
mainly
developed?
A.By
comparing.
B.By
giving
examples.
C.By
listing
numbers.
D.By
showing
results
of
studies.
13.Why
can
touching
stunt
a
plant
growing
according
to
the
study?
A.It
leads
to
the
plant's
energy
expenditure.
B.It
makes
the
plant
sensitive
to
threats.
C.It
causes
a
genetic
disorder
in
the
plant.
D.It
prevents
the
plant
absorbing
nutrients.
14.What's
the
importance
of
the
study
by
Whelan
and
his
team?
A.It
gives
us
more
useful
gardening
tips.
B.It
helps
find
ways
to
ensure
plants'
healthy
growth.
C.It
contributes
to
the
further
study
on
genes.
D.It
uses
data
to
warn
people
not
to

Earthquakes
are
quite
common.
In

thousands
of
earthquakes
are
happening
almost
at
every

However,
most
of 36
(they)
are
too
weak
to
be
felt.
During

big
earthquake,
there
is
often
a
big
noise
first.
Then
the
earth
shakes
37
(terrible)
and
many
houses
fall
down.?
As

disasters
in
the
world,

(2021河北邢台高一下开学考试,难)
Jackson,
now
a
successful
architect
in
New
York
City,
comes
back
to
his
father's
small
wooden
house
that
is
on
an
island
in
the
middle
of
a
lake
in
New
Hampshire.
Jackson
is
fond
of
fishing.
He
often
takes
his
son
and
daughters
to
fish
in
the
same
place,
where
he
used
to
fish
when
he
was
a
child.
His
children
are
addicted
to
the
fishing
joy,
which
reminds
him
of
the
day
34
years
ago.
34
years
ago,
Jackson
was
11
years
old
and
lived
with
his
family
on
this
island.
On
the
day
before
the
bass
season
opened,
Jackson
and
his
father
were
fishing
early
in
the
evening,
catching
sunfish.
When
his
fishing
rod
doubled
over,
he
knew
something
huge
was
on
the
other
end.
He
very
carefully
lifted
the
fish
from
the
water.
It
was
the
largest
one
he
had
ever
seen,
but
it
was
a
bass.
The
boy
and
his
father
looked
at
the
handsome
fish,
its
gills
playing
back
and
forth
in
the
moonlight.
The
father
lit
a
match
and
looked
at
his
watch.
It
was
10
pm—two
hours
before
the
season
opened.
He
looked
at
the
huge
fish,
then
at
the
boy.
“You'll
have
to
put
the
fish
back,
son,”
he
said.
“Dad!”
cried
the
boy.
“There
will
be
other
fish,”
said
his
father.
“Not
as
big
as
this
one,”
the
boy
cried
and
shouted.
He
looked
around
the
lake.
No
other
fishermen
or
boats
were
anywhere
around
in
the
moonlight.
He
looked
again
at
his
father.
Even
though
no
one
had
seen
them,
nor
could
anyone
ever
know
what
time
he
caught
the
fish,
the
boy
could
tell
from
his
father's
voice
clearly
that
the
decision
couldn't
be
changed.
The
father
patted
him
slightly
on
his
shoulder
and
sincerely
taught
him,
“My
boy,
rules
are
a
simple
matter
of
right
and
wrong.
It
is
the
practice
of
rules
that
is
difficult,
but
it's
your
choice.”
注意:续写词数应为150左右。

B
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了一个居住在美国西海岸的小女孩Maggie在地震中的经历。
4.D 推理判断题。由文章第一段中的“As
long
as
she
could
remember,preparing
for
an
earthquake
was
common
at
her
school.”可推知,Maggie有在地震中自救的意识,故选D项。A项:地震是美国主要的自然灾害。C项:美国西部经常发生地震。根据第一段第二句“She
had
never
experienced
an
earthquake
before;
she
only
prepared
for
it.她以前从来没有经历过地震,她只是为它做准备。”可知,A、C两项错误。B项:Maggie的父母教过她怎样在地震中活下来。根据第一段最后一句“Her
family
had
made
plans
as
well
in
case
of
a
natural
disaster.她的家人也制订了计划,以防发生自然灾害。”可知,B项说法与原文所述不一致。
5.A 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“Just
then
she
felt
a
shake,
then
the
violent
shaking...Maggie
hugged
herself
in
fear.”可知,猛烈的摇晃,玻璃破碎的声音和许多东西的碰撞声让Maggie感到很害怕,故可知deafening意为“震耳欲聋的”,故选A项。B项:很熟悉的;C项:很遥远的;D项:很奇怪的。
6.C 细节理解题。由第四段中的“Maggie
could
hear
the
sound
of
water
rushing
below
her
in
the
basement.”和第五段最后一句“Carefully
she
made
her
way
down
into
the
dark
basement.”及第六段第一句“While
placing
her
feet
firmly
on
the
floor,
Maggie
felt
a
sudden
pain
as
a
large
wood
hit
her
head
and
shoulder.”可知,Maggie在关水阀的时候被木头砸伤了,故选C项。
7.A 主旨大意题。本文讲述了一个居住在美国西海岸的小女孩Maggie在地震中的经历,故选A项。B项:为地震做准备的重要性;C项:从地震中逃生的方法;D项:地震的危险。B、C、D三项均不是本文表达的主旨。

原句 While
placing
her
feet
firmly
on
the
floor,
Maggie
felt
a
sudden
pain
as
a
large
wood
hit

分析 本句为主从复合句。句子主干为Maggie
felt
a
sudden
pain。While
placing
her
feet
firmly
on
the
floor为时间状语从句的省略,省略了主语Maggie和be动词was;as
a
large
wood
hit
her
head
and
shoulder为as引导的原因状语从句。
句意 正当她稳稳地把脚放在地板上时,由于一块大木头击中了她的头和肩膀,她感到一阵突如其来的疼痛。

11.D 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段中的“Phoenix,
Arizona,
the
USA

a
big
sandstorm
recently.”及全文内容可知,文章主要讲了菲尼克斯市最近遭受的一场沙尘暴。故选D项。A项:亚利桑那州菲尼克斯市有更多的沙尘暴;B项:沙尘暴对人们造成了很多危害;A、B两项只是文中涉及的两个方面,不能作为整篇文章的主旨。C项:我们必须做些什么来防止沙尘暴,本文没有提到预防沙尘暴的措施,故C项错误。

repeated,
then
plant
growth
is
reduced
by
up
to
30%.可知,这包括从植物生长中带走的巨大的能量消耗。如果重复触碰,植物生长速度将减缓多达30%。因此触摸会消耗植物的能量,故选A项。
14.B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的Whelan
and
his
team
are

第一节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了飓风劳拉袭击莱克查尔斯市时,在民众都撤离的情况下,医院的医护人员照顾19个无法离开的新生婴儿的故事,体现了医护人员的奉献精神。
21.C 句意:当飓风劳拉袭击莱克查尔斯市时,政府下令民众撤离。arrive到达;leave离开;hit袭击,侵袭;beat打败,战胜。自然灾害“袭击;侵袭”某个地方时,常用动词hit。故选C。
22.A 句意:但对于这19个新生儿来说,离开几乎是不可能的。
impossible不可能的;necessary必须的;
important重要的;
suitable合适的。根据本句中的But可知,该句和上一句构成转折。由此推知,在政府下令人们撤离的情况下,19个新生儿无法离开。故选A。
23.D 句意:医院的工作人员决定,在危险过去之前,他们会留下陪在孩子们身边。frightened害怕的;worried担心的;annoyed生气的,恼怒的;determined下定决心的,坚定的。根据“they'd

the
hospital
were
23
that
they'd
remain
with

25.B 句意同上题。look
for寻找;care
for照顾,关心,喜欢;ask
for请求;wait
for等待。根据常识,此处指医生和护士照顾新生儿们。最后一段中的“taking
care
of
the
babies”也是提示。故选B。
26.A 句意:随后,为了孩子们的安全,他们在不到两小时的时间里横跨了整个城市把孩子们送到了主院区。city城市;country国家;school学校;university大学。根据第一段中的“the
city
of

27.B 句意:整个医院都竭尽全力确保婴儿和所有必要的东西都能安全运送。way方式;trip旅行;
day天;plan计划。将婴儿们送到主院区是一次“旅行”。故选B。
28.A 句意:不幸的是,在夜间,医院的空调被破坏了,供水也被切断了。根据“Unfortunately”和“water

29.D 句意:在整个飓风期间,博萨诺医生通过频繁地在他的Facebook页面上发帖,让焦虑的家长们冷静下来。tip建议;title标题;topic话题;post帖子。根据空后的“his

第二节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了世界上最致命的自然灾害之一——地震,它给人们带来的灾难以及为研究地震科学家所付出的努力。
36.them 考查人称代词。句意:然而,大多数地震太微弱了以至于感觉不到。介词of后面用代词宾格。故填them。
37.terribly 考查副词。句意:然后,大地剧烈地震动,许多房屋倒塌。句中shakes是谓语动词,应用副词修饰。故填terribly。
38.in 考查介词。句意:作为世界上最致命的自然灾害之一,地震经常导致许多人受伤或死亡。result
in导致,造成。故填in。
39.struck 考查动词时态。句意:在2008年,一场可怕的地震袭击了中国四川省,造成了严重的人员伤亡。根据In
2008可知,句子用一般过去时,动词strike的过去式是struck。故填struck。
40.caused 考查过去分词。句意:除了地震造成的巨大破坏和死亡,其他事故如火灾经常随之而来。句中the
great
damage
and
deaths和cause之间是被动关系,故应用过去分词作后置定语。故填caused。
41.centuries 考查名词的数。句意:几个世纪以来,人们一直在研究地震。所给词century是可数名词,空前无限定词,根据句意可知这里指“几个世纪”,所以用名词复数。故填centuries。

version:
Paragraph
1:
Jackson
found
himself
in
a
difficult
situation.
He
really
wanted
to
keep
this
largest
bass
in
his
heart
of
hearts.
However,
his
father
was
so
determined
that
he
had
no
choice
but
to
give
it
up.
Tears
welling
up
in
his
eyes,
he
tried
to
hold
them
back
but
it
was
useless.
He
took
a
final
look
at
the
fish
as
if
he
were
saying
goodbye
to
the
fish,
and
then
he
slowly
put
the
huge
bass
back
to
the
lake.
Paragraph
2:
Do
we
do
right
when
no
one
is
looking?I
think
that
if
I
had
been
taught
to
put
the
fish
back
when
I
was
young,
I
would
have
learned
the
truth.
I
am
very
grateful
to
my
father
for
teaching
me
such
a
valuable
lesson.
The
decision
to
do
right
keeps
fresh
and
pleasant
in
my
memory.
It's
nothing
about
others
but
only
about
ourselves,
as
well
as
our
honesty.
So,
even
if
no
one
is
looking
at
us,
we
shouldn't
break
the
rules
and
do
wrong.
If
everyone
in
the
world
behaves
just
like
this,
the
future
of
the
world
will
be
better
and
better.
