A
(2025·重慶高一上期末)
Scientists say they’ve discovered an earthquake-like event that can happen during a hurricane or other storms.Researchers called it a “stormquake” after studying events caused by earthquakes on the seafloor during such storms.
Strong energy from hurricanes and serious storms can create very large waves in the ocean.“These waves then interact in some places with solid earth under the sea to cause intense seismic(地震的) source activity，” said the leader researcher Fan，a professor at Florida State University.“The exciting part is that seismic sources caused by hurricanes can last for hours or even days.”
The researchers found evidence(證據) of more than 10,000 stormquakes in coastal areas of the U．S.and Canada，which have happened around seafloors containing flat land and at lower depths.But it was not known until recently that such events even existed.This is mainly because scientists studying earthquakes have generally considered ocean-caused seismic waves as “background noise”．
The research found major U．S.hurricanes had produced a lot of stormquakes.One example was Hurricane Bill in 2009 in the Atlantic Ocean，causing about 300 stormquakes as it moved north.But no such activity was recorded in areas along the U．S.East Coast.The team noted that even Hurricane Sandy，one of the biggest storms in U．S.history，did not cause a single stormquake.Fan says this suggests that stormquakes are strongly influenced by the physical shape of the seafloor’s surface and seafloor conditions.
Fan added that there are still “lots of unknowns” about stormquakes.But he said discovering them “suggests we are reaching a new level of understanding seismic waves”．He hopes the discovery will lead to improved study methods for hurricanes，which in the past were mainly observed from satellites in the sky.“Now we are able to understand it—or at least track part of its route—through the solid earth as well，” he said.
語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了一種類似地震的自然現象——“風暴地震”，闡述了其形成過程、特點和影響其形成的條件，這一發現有助于改進颶風研究方法。
1．What is the characteristic of a stormquake according to this passage
A．Being seasonal. B．Being unexpected.
C．Being long-lasting. D．Being global.
答案　C
解析　細節理解題。根據第二段中的“The exciting part is that seismic sources caused by hurricanes can last for hours or even days.”可知，風暴地震的顯著特征是持續時間長。故選C。
2．Why were stormquakes unknown to science before
A．Because they were ignored by scientists.
B．Because they were hardly seen on the Earth.
C．Because they were similar to common earthquakes.
D．Because they generally happened in deep seafloors.
答案　A
解析　推理判斷題。根據第三段中的“This is mainly because scientists studying earthquakes have generally considered ocean-caused seismic waves as ‘background noise’．”可知，風暴地震不為人知，是因為它們曾經被科學家當成“背景噪聲”忽視了。故選A。
3．What message is conveyed in paragraph 4
A．All hurricanes don’t lead to stormquakes.
B．Stormquakes happen more along the East Coast.
C．Stormquakes influence the seafloor’s conditions.
D．Stronger hurricanes produce bigger stormquakes.
答案　A
解析　推理判斷題。根據第四段中的“The team noted that even Hurricane Sandy，one of the biggest storms in U．S.history，did not cause a single stormquake.”可推知，并不是所有的颶風都會引來風暴地震。故選A。
4．What is the significance of the discovery
A．Helping to predict an earthquake more exactly.
B．Offering a different view on hurricane research.
C．Suggesting the richness of the seismic wave field.
D．Preventing possible hurricanes and lessening losses.

B(此篇精讀)
Search and rescue teams are often accompanied by man’s best friend.A dog’s superior sense of smell can be of importance to finding survivors buried under fallen buildings.But now a new animal is being trained to help search and rescue teams after an earthquake hits，and it’s the rat.
These rescue rats are being trained by Dr.Donna Kean，a researcher from Glasgow，Scotland who has been working with rats for years.Kean explained why she and her colleagues at the nonprofit APOPO train rats instead of dogs.“The rats have a comparable sense of smell，and they’re just as trainable as dogs，” she said.
“Their size is useful because they will be able to move through different environments that dogs just wouldn’t be able to.”
At the moment，the rats are wearing homemade prototype backpacks that contain microphones，video equipment，and location trackers，and then scientists are sending these rats into mock debris(模擬的廢墟)．Rats would be able to get into small spaces to get to victims(受害者) buried in the ruins.“We have not been in a real situation yet；we have got a mock debris site.When we track the backpack，we will be able to hear from where the rat is inside the debris，” Kean said.“We have the potential to speak to victims through the rat.”
Researchers train them on a basic series of behaviour.Training starts off in a really basic environment：a small and empty room.Then they gradually expand and increase the complexity(復雜性) in order to make it like real life.
They can start adding in debris and making the training area look more like an actual collapsed building site.
The training just started，and researchers still have to run training trials(試驗) outside the research environment.
They are working with a search and rescue group called GEA，who are based in Turkey，a country with frequent earthquakes and hoping that by next year they’ll be able to take the rats to Turkey for trials.
語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。來自蘇格蘭的研究人員正在訓練一批精銳的“搜救部隊”，以幫助人們尋找地震中的受難者，這些搜救隊成員就是我們相當熟悉的動物——老鼠，當地震發生后，它們將會穿上裝有麥克風的小背包，深入地震廢墟中的狹小空間，幫助受困者與外界進行交流。
5．What advantage do rats have over dogs in the rescue work
A．They are easier to train.
B．They have a better sense of smell.
C．They are more flexible with a smaller size.
D．They adapt to new environments more quickly.
答案　C
解析　細節理解題。根據第三段“Their size is useful because they will be able to move through different environments that dogs just wouldn’t be able to.”可知，在救援工作中，老鼠的優勢是體形更小，身體更靈活。故選C。
6．What does the underlined word “comparable” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Impressive. B．Suitable.
C．Unique. D．Similar.
答案　D
解析　詞義猜測題。根據畫線詞后文“they’re just as trainable as dogs”可知，Kean認為老鼠和狗一樣，是可以被訓練的，這是因為老鼠的嗅覺能力與狗類似。故畫線詞意思是“相似的”。故選D。
7．What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A．The process of training the rats.
B．The difficulty of conducting experiments.
C．The rats’ behaviour in real collapsed sites.
D．The importance of the research environment.
答案　A
解析　段落大意題。根據第四段中的“At the moment，the rats are wearing homemade prototype backpacks...and then scientists are sending these rats into mock debris(模擬的廢墟)．Rats would be able to get into small spaces to get to victims(受害者) buried in the ruins.”以及Kean說的話可知，本段主要是關于訓練老鼠的過程。故選A。
8．What will scientists plan to do next
A．Use rats for rescue work in large numbers.
B．Send rats to Turkey for field experiments.
C．Carry out further study on disaster prevention.
D．Develop the tracking technology to assist GEA.
答案　B
解析　細節理解題。根據最后一段“They are working with a search and rescue group called GEA，who are based in Turkey，a country with frequent earthquakes and hoping that by next year they’ll be able to take the rats to Turkey for trials.”可知，科學家們下一步計劃把老鼠送到土耳其進行現場試驗。故選B。
[詞匯積累] 1．accompany(派)＝ac＋company v．陪伴；伴隨 2．train 熟義：n.火車　生義(文義)：v.訓練 3．nonprofit(派)＝non＋profit adj.非營利的 [句式分析] When we track the backpack，we will be able to hear from where the rat is inside the debris. 分析：此句為復合句。when引導時間狀語從句，where the rat is inside the debris為介詞from后的賓語從句。 翻譯：當我們追蹤背包時，我們將能夠聽到老鼠在廢墟中的位置。

(2025·重慶高一上期末)
Scientists say they’ve discovered an earthquake-like event that can happen during a hurricane or other storms.Researchers called it a “stormquake” after studying events caused by earthquakes on the seafloor during such storms.
語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了一種類似地震的自然現象——“風暴地震”，闡述了其形成過程、特點和影響其形成的條件，這一發現有助于改進颶風研究方法。
Ⅲ.主題語篇閱讀
Strong energy from hurricanes and serious storms can create very large waves in the ocean.“These waves then interact in some places with solid earth under the sea to cause intense seismic(地震的) source activity，” said the leader researcher Fan，a professor at Florida State University.“The exciting part is that seismic sources caused by hurricanes can last for hours or even days.”
The researchers found evidence(證據) of more than 10,000 stormquakes in coastal areas of the U.S.and Canada，which have happened around seafloors containing flat land and at lower depths.But it was not known until recently that such events even existed.This is mainly because scientists studying earthquakes have generally considered ocean-caused seismic waves as “background noise”.
The research found major U.S.hurricanes had produced a lot of stormquakes.One example was Hurricane Bill in 2009 in the Atlantic Ocean，causing about 300 stormquakes as it moved north.But no such activity was recorded in areas along the U.S.East Coast.The team noted that even Hurricane Sandy，one of the biggest storms in U.S.history，did not cause a single stormquake.Fan says this suggests that stormquakes are strongly influenced by the physical shape of the seafloor’s surface and seafloor conditions.
Fan added that there are still “lots of unknowns” about stormquakes. But he said discovering them “suggests we are reaching a new level of understanding seismic waves”.He hopes the discovery will lead to improved study methods for hurricanes，which in the past were mainly observed from satellites in the sky.“Now we are able to understand it—or at least track part of its route—through the solid earth as well，” he said.
1.What is the characteristic of a stormquake according to this passage
A.Being seasonal. B.Being unexpected.
C.Being long-lasting. D.Being global.
√
細節理解題。根據第二段中的“The exciting part is that seismic sources caused by hurricanes can last for hours or even days.”可知，風暴地震的顯著特征是持續時間長。故選C。
解析
2.Why were stormquakes unknown to science before
A.Because they were ignored by scientists.
B.Because they were hardly seen on the Earth.
C.Because they were similar to common earthquakes.
D.Because they generally happened in deep seafloors.
√
推理判斷題。根據第三段中的“This is mainly because scientists studying earthquakes have generally considered ocean-caused seismic waves as ‘background noise’.”可知，風暴地震不為人知，是因為它們曾經被科學家當成“背景噪聲”忽視了。故選A。
解析
3.What message is conveyed in paragraph 4
A.All hurricanes don’t lead to stormquakes.
B.Stormquakes happen more along the East Coast.
C.Stormquakes influence the seafloor’s conditions.
D.Stronger hurricanes produce bigger stormquakes.
√
推理判斷題。根據第四段中的“The team noted that even Hurricane Sandy，one of the biggest storms in U.S.history，did not cause a single stormquake.”可推知，并不是所有的颶風都會引來風暴地震。故選A。
解析
4.What is the significance of the discovery
A.Helping to predict an earthquake more exactly.
B.Offering a different view on hurricane research.
C.Suggesting the richness of the seismic wave field.
D.Preventing possible hurricanes and lessening losses.
√
細節理解題。根據最后一段中的“He hopes the discovery will lead to improved study methods for hurricanes，which in the past were mainly observed from satellites in the sky.”可知，這一發現為颶風研究提供了不同的視角。故選B。
解析
B(此篇精讀)
Search and rescue teams are often accompanied by man’s best friend. A dog’s superior sense of smell can be of importance to finding survivors buried under fallen buildings.But now a new animal is being trained to help search and rescue teams after an earthquake hits，and it’s the rat.
語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。來自蘇格蘭的研究人員正在訓練一批精銳的“搜救部隊”，以幫助人們尋找地震中的受難者，這些搜救隊成員就是我們相當熟悉的動物——老鼠，當地震發生后，它們將會穿上裝有麥克風的小背包，深入地震廢墟中的狹小空間，幫助受困者與外界進行交流。
These rescue rats are being trained by Dr.Donna Kean，a researcher from Glasgow，Scotland who has been working with rats for years.Kean explained why she and her colleagues at the nonprofit APOPO train rats instead of dogs.“The rats have a comparable sense of smell，and they’re just as trainable as dogs，” she said.
“Their size is useful because they will be able to move through different environments that dogs just wouldn’t be able to.”
At the moment，the rats are wearing homemade prototype backpacks that contain microphones，video equipment，and location trackers，and then scientists are sending these rats into mock debris(模擬的廢墟).Rats would be able to get into small spaces to get to victims(受害者) buried in the ruins.“We have not been in a real situation yet；we have got a mock debris site.When we track the backpack，we will be able to hear from where the rat is inside the debris，” Kean said.“We have the potential to speak to victims through the rat.”
Researchers train them on a basic series of behaviour.Training starts off in a really basic environment：a small and empty room.Then they gradually expand and increase the complexity(復雜性) in order to make it like real life.
They can start adding in debris and making the training area look more like an actual collapsed building site.
The training just started，and researchers still have to run training trials(試驗) outside the research environment.
They are working with a search and rescue group called GEA，who are based in Turkey，a country with frequent earthquakes and hoping that by next year they’ll be able to take the rats to Turkey for trials.
5.What advantage do rats have over dogs in the rescue work
A.They are easier to train.
B.They have a better sense of smell.
C.They are more flexible with a smaller size.
D.They adapt to new environments more quickly.
√
細節理解題。根據第三段“Their size is useful because they will be able to move through different environments that dogs just wouldn’t be able to.”可知，在救援工作中，老鼠的優勢是體形更小，身體更靈活。故選C。
解析
6.What does the underlined word “comparable” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Impressive. B.Suitable.
C.Unique. D.Similar.
√
詞義猜測題。根據畫線詞后文“they’re just as trainable as dogs”可知，Kean認為老鼠和狗一樣，是可以被訓練的，這是因為老鼠的嗅覺能力與狗類似。故畫線詞意思是“相似的”。故選D。
解析
7.What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A.The process of training the rats.
B.The difficulty of conducting experiments.
C.The rats’ behaviour in real collapsed sites.
D.The importance of the research environment.
√
段落大意題。根據第四段中的“At the moment，the rats are wearing homemade prototype backpacks...and then scientists are sending these rats into mock debris(模擬的廢墟).Rats would be able to get into small spaces to get to victims(受害者) buried in the ruins.”以及Kean說的話可知，本段主要是關于訓練老鼠的過程。故選A。
解析
8.What will scientists plan to do next
A.Use rats for rescue work in large numbers.
B.Send rats to Turkey for field experiments.
C.Carry out further study on disaster prevention.
D.Develop the tracking technology to assist GEA.
√
細節理解題。根據最后一段“They are working with a search and rescue group called GEA，who are based in Turkey，a country with frequent earthquakes and hoping that by next year they’ll be able to take the rats to Turkey for trials.”可知，科學家們下一步計劃把老鼠送到土耳其進行現場試驗。故選B。
解析
1.accompany(派)＝ac＋company v.陪伴；伴隨
2.train 熟義：n.火車　生義(文義)：v.訓練
3.nonprofit(派)＝non＋profit adj.非營利的
詞匯積累
When we track the backpack，we will be able to hear from where the rat is inside the debris.
分析：此句為復合句。when引導時間狀語從句，where the rat is inside the debris為介詞from后的賓語從句。
翻譯：當我們追蹤背包時，我們將能夠聽到老鼠在廢墟中的位置。
