　　On 14 August 2021， Haiti was hit by a 7.2 magnitude earthquake.The quake destroyed thousands of buildings， injured over 5，700 people， and left at least 1，297 others dead.Haiti has declared a state of emergency.
　　The earthquake struck near the town of Petit Trou de Nippes， in the western part of the country.That’s roughly 125 kilometers west of the capital， Port-au-Prince.The earthquake did serious damage in two nearby cities， Les Cayes and Jeremie， with Les Cayes hit the hardest.Homes， schools， churches， and offices were seriously damaged.
　　The number of injured people was so high that local hospitals have been unable to keep up.A number of medical workers at the general hospital in Les Cayes were themselves trapped in a building.Across the area， people were searching through the rubble （廢墟） for survivors.But the earthquake also caused landslides （塌方）， making the job even more difficult.There have been many aftershocks — smaller quakes which follow the main earthquake.With many buildings damaged by the earthquake， it’s not certain whether the buildings still standing in the area are safe.Many people are choosing to sleep outside rather than taking the risk of sleeping in a building.
　　Haiti has still not fully returned to normal from a 7.0 magnitude earthquake which destroyed much of Port-au-Prince and killed over 200，000 people in 2010.The country suffered again in 2016， when it was stricken by Hurricane Matthew， which caused huge damage in Haiti.Storm Grace is expected to reach Haiti on Monday， bringing heavy rainfall with it.
　　Several countries have offered to help Haiti.The government says the country won’t officially ask for outside help until it is clear how much damage there is in all.But Haiti is not a rich country， and the government may not have the money for major efforts to rebuild the damaged areas.
1.Which was worst affected by 2021’s earthquake？ （　　）

　　Standing on the ruins after the fire where his house had been， Peter Ruprecht admitted that he was not sure how or when to rebuild it.He was still shocked by what Australia’s increasingly changeable climate had already delivered： first a drought， then a destructive bush fire， and then a foot of rain from a storm.
　　“It’s unstoppable，” said Mr Ruprecht， a former dairy farmer.“We speak about the warmth of Mother Nature， but nature can also be vicious， wild and unforgiving.”
　　Australia’s hellish （極不愉快的） fire season has eased， but its people are facing more than a single disaster.With floods destroying homes not far from where fires recently spread， they are facing a cycle of what scientists call “compound extremes”： one climate disaster strengthens the next.
　　Higher temperatures do more than just dry out the land.They also heat up the atmosphere， which means clouds hold more moisture （水汽） for longer periods of time.So droughts get worse， giving way to fires， then to heavy rains that the land is too dry to absorb.
　　Many Australians in disaster zones complain that their government， after ignoring climate change for years， has not yet worked out recovery plans that are clear and that take future risks into account.
　　At the same time， the economic costs of a changing climate are rising quickly.Philip Lowe， governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia， warned recently that Australia was already paying a price， and that in effect it would only go up.
5.Why is Peter Ruprecht mentioned in the beginning？（　　）
A.To arouse readers’ pity.
B.To introduce the topic.
C.To stress the problem.
D.To call on readers to help.
6.Which word can replace the underlined word “vicious” in Paragraph 2？（　　）
A.empty　 B.kind
C.responsible　 D.violent
7.What is the main cause of “compound extremes” in Australia？（　　）
A.The government’s inaction.
B.Higher temperatures.
C.The lack of money.
D.No recovery plans.
8.In which section of the newspaper can we read this passage？（　　）
A.Food.　 B.Travel.
C.Climate.　 D.Agriculture.

　　Fishing trips to Canada are a tradition for Jeffrey Hardy and his three friends from America.This summer in 2023， the forest air polluted with wildfire smoke forced the men to give up their mid-June fishing plan.Canada’s wildfire season put its tourism industry at a crucial time.
　　Except some days of poor air quality， major Canadian cities remain unaffected by wildfires.The fires are in the country’s northern areas that have drawn travelers interested in outdoor experiences in years past.
　　In a recent report by Destination Canada， a marketing organization， half of the total spent by international visitors is in Vancouver， Toronto and Montreal.But other Canadian destinations attractive to visitors have been affected by the wildfires.
　　In preparation for increasing visitor sizes and ongoing wildfires， some businesses are thinking about changing their operations， which see outdoor recreation （娛樂） as a tourism opportunity.A nonprofit travel agency is considering creating a questionnaire （調查問卷） for customers to show when they would cancel a booking because of road closes from the wildfires， poor air quality and a lack of visibility.
　　Tourism in British Columbia contributes greatly to its economy.The province has various recreational offerings， from the major ski destinations to hiking along the coast.Blackcomb， a helicopter tour company， has canceled its sightseeing offerings， using most of its helicopters on the firefighting effort until at least early August.“It’s the question of flying our customers around on sightseeing tours or putting out fires within 10 kilometers of our bases and the communities that we live in，” said Jordy Norris， the company’s tourism director.“We made it clear to both our staff and our customers that we have a duty to protect the backyard.”
　　Darrin Rigo， a photographer， recently saw a photo of a beautiful waterfall engulfed in fire on a media page.“I’m sure that’s not going to last long， and everything will turn to normal，” he said.
9.Which part of Canada is most affected by the wildfire？（　　）
A.Canada’s central part.
B.The northern areas.
C.Major Canadian cities.
D.Places with few visitors.
10.What can be inferred about Jordy Norris？（　　）
A.He is sad about his company’s loss from the fire.
B.He is confident about the use of the questionnaire.
C.He is glad to join in the fight against the wildfire.
D.He is stressed about the fire’s effect on his company.
11.What does the underlined word “engulfed” in the last paragraph mean？（　　）
A.Covered.　 B.Donated
C.Rescued.　 D.Protected.
12.Which of the following can be the best title for the text？（　　）
A.Tourism Suffers Great Loss in the Wildfire
B.All of Canada Have Acted to Beat Wildfire
C.Most of Canada Is Affected by the Wildfire
D.Wildfire Won’t Stop Canada’s Tourism Development

How to Survive a Tsunami
　　A tsunami is a series of destructive and dangerous waves that are typically caused by earthquakes.If you live in a tsunami hazard region， make sure you know what to do in the unfortunate event of a tsunami.13.（　　）
　　Evacuate on foot if possible.
　　Bridges and roads might be damaged or blocked after an earthquake.Whether there is an official tsunami warning or you live in a tsunami hazard zone and an earthquake just happened， immediately start moving on foot.14.（　　）This helps you avoid getting stuck in a car in a dangerous location.
　　15.（　　）
　　In some cases， you might not have time to evacuate.If you don’t have time to get away， go up to a third floor or higher in a strong building.Even better， try to get on the roof of the tallest， strongest building you can find.If you’re right on the coast， there might be a tall tsunami evacuation tower nearby.Look for evacuation route signs and follow them to the tower， then climb to the top.
　　Grab something floating if you’re in the water.
　　This can help keep you safe if you get caught by a tsunami’s waves.16.（　　） Grab the object and hold on tightly while you get carried by the waves.
　　17.（　　）
　　Tsunami activity can continue for up to 8 hours or longer.Stay away from the coast and on high ground for this period to play it safe.Listen to announcements from officials and only move when they say it’s safe to do so.

Ⅰ.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇報道。文章主要介紹了海地2010年和2021年發生地震的情況以及2016年遭受颶風襲擊的情況。
1.C　細節理解題。根據第二段倒數第二句可知，Les Cayes受災最嚴重。
2.B　詞義猜測題。根據第三段中的Across the area， people were searching through the rubble （廢墟） for survivors.可知，人們正搜查廢墟尋找幸存者。結合畫線詞所在句可知，地震也造成了山體滑坡，這使得搜尋幸存者更加困難。所以畫線詞指的是“搜尋幸存者”。
3.C　推理判斷題。根據最后一段第二句可推知，海地對尋求外援持謹慎的態度。
4.C　推理判斷題。根據全文可知，本文主要介紹了海地2010年和2021年發生地震的情況以及2016年遭受颶風襲擊的情況。由此可推知，文章是一篇報道，可能來自報紙。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇新聞報道。文章主要介紹了澳大利亞發生的一系列極端氣候災害，包括它們的成因、給人們帶來的影響、經濟成本等。
5.B　推理判斷題。根據第一段可知，Peter Ruprecht的房子被燒成廢墟反映出澳大利亞多變的氣候給人們造成了巨大的損失并引發了一系列氣候災難：干旱、毀滅性的叢林大火和暴風雨造成的一英尺的雨水。所以推知，提及Peter Ruprecht是為了引出話題：澳大利亞的氣候災難。
6.D　詞義猜測題。根據畫線詞前的but可知，畫線詞所在分句與前面的分句之間是轉折關系，根據but前面的warmth和畫線詞后面的wild and unforgiving可知，vicious應與wild（狂暴的）和unforgiving（難對付的）意思相近，與warmth（溫暖）意思相反，故選D項“暴力的”。
7.B　細節理解題。根據第三段中的one climate disaster strengthens the next可知，compound extremes指的是一種氣候災害加劇另一種；第四段闡述了這個過程，即溫度升高→大氣升溫→云層鎖水量更大、時間更長→加劇土地干燥→火災→土地無法吸收的大雨，因此是溫度升高導致了compound extremes。
8.C　文章出處題。文章第一、二段引出話題：澳大利亞的氣候災難，接下來的段落描述了氣候災難的危害、成因以及造成的經濟成本等，所以本文話題與氣候相關。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。加拿大的山林大火使旅游業受到很大的影響，但是人們依然對加拿大旅游業的發展充滿信心。
9.B　細節理解題。根據第二段第二句可知，這次山火主要影響的是加拿大的北部地區。
10.C　推理判斷題。根據第五段中Jordy Norris說的話可推知，Jordy Norris為自己的公司能夠參加滅火行動感到高興。
11.A　詞義猜測題。根據畫線詞所在句可知，照片里這個美麗的瀑布被野火籠罩著。由此可知，畫線詞的含義是“籠罩，覆蓋”。
12.D　標題歸納題。通讀全文可知，本文講述了一場山火對加拿大旅游業的影響，談到這場火災的分布及其對旅游業的影響，以及旅游業的從業人員對未來旅游業發展的樂觀態度。故D項為文章最佳標題。
Ⅱ.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了在海嘯中生存的方法。
13.E　上文說明你應該知道應對海嘯的方法，下文介紹了應對海嘯的四種方法。E項（以下是一些應對海嘯并在海嘯中幸存下來的方法）符合語境。
14.B　上文說明當海嘯來臨時，你應該采用步行的方式。B項（快速走或跑向安全地帶）符合語境。與下文“這有助于你避免在危險的地方被困在車里”為順承關系。
15.D　下文說明被困時，要爬到高的地方或者建筑物的頂部。D項（如果你被困了，就爬到建筑物的頂部）能夠概括本段內容，可作本段小標題。
16.F　上文說明如果你已經在水里，應該抓住一些漂浮的東西。F項（尋找像樹、門或救生筏這樣堅固的東西）承接上文，符合語境，舉例說明可以抓住的漂浮的東西有什么。
17.C　下文說明海嘯持續的時長，你應該在此期間遠離海岸，待在高地以確保安全。C項（在你的安全地點至少待8個小時）能夠概括本段內容，可作本段小標題。

Dear John，
　　I’m delighted to receive your letter， in which you expressed eagerness for some information about the Earthquake Prevention and Disaster Reduction Campaign held in our school.I’m glad to share it with you.
　　As scheduled， the activity took place last Friday.First， all the teachers and students attended a lecture to get a good knowledge of earthquake.During the lecture， the lecturer impressed on us the damage an earthquake can cause and how to protect ourselves when an earthquake happens through videos and pictures.After that， an earthquake prevention drill was conducted.
　　I’ve learned a lot from this activity.It is of great significance for us to master some self-help measures.
Yours，
Li Hua

It was August， so it was really， really hot and it smelled so bad everywhere！ I just spent the days watching the boats going up and down the street and looking out for Smartie.He had disappeared the moment the storm hit.
　　[4]句中that引導定語從句，修飾先行詞drinking water， that在定語從句中作主語。

It was difficult to stay positive ， though.We had lost our home and everything in it， including Smartie.[7]All we had left were the clothes on our backs . But as Mom kept on reminding us， we were all together and safe.Mom’s words made us feel better.I remember us all lying under the midnight sky and looking up at the stars.Because there were no lights， we could see the Big Dipper， the Little Dipper and the Milky Way.It was amazing ！ Even though we had lost a lot， moments like those gave us hope for the future.
　　[5]動詞-ing短語作狀語。

　　Now， one year has passed and I’m back home in New Orleans.Some families have yet to return， but many others have come back.Although we are surrounded by reminders of the disaster， we are working together to rebuild our homes and our lives.[8]Now we have another chance to look up at the stars of New Orleans， their beauty inspiring us and giving us confidence to move on .

【參考譯文】
風暴過后現繁星
　　說來也怪，我對颶風本身的印象并不深。一切都發生得太快了。當時我正坐在自己房間里，貓咪斯瑪蒂趴在我腿上，突然屋頂就飛走了。霎時間，屋頂變成了天空。我嚇呆了。
　　媽媽大喊著讓我們快跑，但已經來不及了。暴雨迅速傾盆而下，瞬間就將道路淹沒成了河流。我們無處可去了。
　　一開始我還慶幸我們能待在家里，但很快情況就糟糕起來。沒了屋頂，待在屋內是十分危險的。到處都是水，可我們一滴也不能喝，否則就會染上重病。我們只能喝直升機送來的飲用水，但總是不夠喝。當時是八月，天氣非常非常熱，到處都散發著難聞的氣味！我只能整天看著街上來來往往的船只，留意尋找斯瑪蒂的身影。風暴襲來的那一刻它就失蹤了。
　　我們住在露天的環境里，成了蚊子的一日三餐。不過媽媽說不管發生什么，我們都應該盡量看到事情好的一面。然而保持樂觀卻不那么容易。我們的家毀了，家里的一切也都沒了，斯瑪蒂也不見了。我們只剩下身上的衣服了。不過就像媽媽一直提醒我們的那樣，好在全家人都在一起而且平安無事。媽媽的話讓我們心情好些了。我還記得那時我們躺在午夜的蒼穹之下，仰望星空。因為沒有燈光，我們能看到北斗七星、小北斗七星和銀河。太奇妙了！盡管我們損失慘重，但這樣的時刻點燃了我們對未來的希望。
　　雖然幾天后我們就獲救了，但卻覺得像是過了好幾個月。我們被帶到了一個很遠的縣的一座小鎮上。萬幸的是，斯瑪蒂及時回了家。我們都很高興能帶上它，不過那時我們都沒料到這一去就很久都回不來。
　　現在，事情已經過去了一年，我也重新回到了位于新奧爾良的家。有的人家仍然流落在外，但也有許多人已經回來了。雖然我們周圍的一切都提醒著我們這里曾發生的災難，但大家都在為重建家園和生活而一同努力著。現在我們又能仰望新奧爾良的星空了，星空的美鼓舞著我們，讓我們有信心繼續前行。

【參考譯文】
風暴過后現繁星
　　說來也怪，我對颶風本身的印象并不深。一切都發生得太快了。
當時我正坐在自己房間里，貓咪斯瑪蒂趴在我腿上，突然屋頂就飛走
了。霎時間，屋頂變成了天空。我嚇呆了。
　　媽媽大喊著讓我們快跑，但已經來不及了。暴雨迅速傾盆而下，
瞬間就將道路淹沒成了河流。我們無處可去了。
　　一開始我還慶幸我們能待在家里，但很快情況就糟糕起來。沒了
屋頂，待在屋內是十分危險的。到處都是水，可我們一滴也不能喝，
否則就會染上重病。我們只能喝直升機送來的飲用水，但總是不夠
喝。當時是八月，天氣非常非常熱，到處都散發著難聞的氣味！我只
能整天看著街上來來往往的船只，留意尋找斯瑪蒂的身影。風暴襲來
的那一刻它就失蹤了。
　　我們住在露天的環境里，成了蚊子的一日三餐。不過媽媽說不管
發生什么，我們都應該盡量看到事情好的一面。然而保持樂觀卻不那
么容易。我們的家毀了，家里的一切也都沒了，斯瑪蒂也不見了。我
們只剩下身上的衣服了。不過就像媽媽一直提醒我們的那樣，好在全
家人都在一起而且平安無事。媽媽的話讓我們心情好些了。我還記得
那時我們躺在午夜的蒼穹之下，仰望星空。因為沒有燈光，我們能看
到北斗七星、小北斗七星和銀河。太奇妙了！盡管我們損失慘重，但
這樣的時刻點燃了我們對未來的希望。
　　雖然幾天后我們就獲救了，但卻覺得像是過了好幾個月。我
們被帶到了一個很遠的縣的一座小鎮上。萬幸的是，斯瑪蒂及時
回了家。我們都很高興能帶上它，不過那時我們都沒料到這一去
就很久都回不來。
現在，事情已經過去了一年，我也重新回到了位于新奧爾良的
家。有的人家仍然流落在外，但也有許多人已經回來了。雖然我們周
圍的一切都提醒著我們這里曾發生的災難，但大家都在為重建家園和
生活而一同努力著。現在我們又能仰望新奧爾良的星空了，星空的美
鼓舞著我們，讓我們有信心繼續前行。

　　On 14 August 2021， Haiti was hit by a 7.2 magnitude
earthquake.The quake destroyed thousands of buildings， injured over
5，700 people， and left at least 1，297 others dead.Haiti has declared a
state of emergency.
　　The earthquake struck near the town of Petit Trou de Nippes， in the
western part of the country.That’s roughly 125 kilometers west of the
capital， Port-au-Prince.The earthquake did serious damage in two nearby
cities， Les Cayes and Jeremie， with Les Cayes hit the hardest.Homes，
schools， churches， and offices were seriously damaged.
　　The number of injured people was so high that local hospitals have
been unable to keep up.A number of medical workers at the general
hospital in Les Cayes were themselves trapped in a building.Across the
area， people were searching through the rubble （廢墟） for
survivors.But the earthquake also caused landslides （塌方）， making
the job even more difficult.There have been many aftershocks — smaller
quakes which follow the main earthquake.With many buildings damaged
by the earthquake， it’s not certain whether the buildings still standing in
the area are safe.Many people are choosing to sleep outside rather than
taking the risk of sleeping in a building.
　　Haiti has still not fully returned to normal from a 7.0 magnitude
earthquake which destroyed much of Port-au-Prince and killed over 200，
000 people in 2010.The country suffered again in 2016， when it was
stricken by Hurricane Matthew， which caused huge damage in
Haiti.Storm Grace is expected to reach Haiti on Monday， bringing heavy
rainfall with it.
　　Several countries have offered to help Haiti.The government says the
country won’t officially ask for outside help until it is clear how much
damage there is in all.But Haiti is not a rich country， and the government
may not have the money for major efforts to rebuild the damaged areas.

語篇解讀：本文是一篇報道。文章主要介紹了海地2010年和2021年
發生地震的情況以及2016年遭受颶風襲擊的情況。
1. Which was worst affected by 2021’s earthquake？ （　　）
A. Port-au-Prince. B. Jeremie.
C. Les Cayes. D. Petit Trou de Nippes.
解析： 　細節理解題。根據第二段倒數第二句可知，Les Cayes受
災最嚴重。
2. What does the underlined part “the job” in Paragraph 3 mean？
（　　）
A. Dealing with landslides.
B. Searching for survivors.
C. Observing aftershocks.
D. Doing building safety-checks.
解析： 　詞義猜測題。根據第三段中的Across the area， people
were searching through the rubble （廢墟） for survivors.可知，人們
正搜查廢墟尋找幸存者。結合畫線詞所在句可知，地震也造成了山
體滑坡，這使得搜尋幸存者更加困難。所以畫線詞指的是“搜尋幸
存者”。
3. What is Haiti’s attitude to seeking foreign aid？ （　　）
A. Doubtful. B. Favored.
C. Cautious. D. Disapproving.
解析： 　推理判斷題。根據最后一段第二句可推知，海地對尋求
外援持謹慎的態度。
4. Where is the article probably taken from？ （　　）
A. A novel. B. A history book.
C. A newspaper. D. A brochure.
解析： 　推理判斷題。根據全文可知，本文主要介紹了海地2010
年和2021年發生地震的情況以及2016年遭受颶風襲擊的情況。由此
可推知，文章是一篇報道，可能來自報紙。

　　Standing on the ruins after the fire where his house had been， Peter
Ruprecht admitted that he was not sure how or when to rebuild it.He was
still shocked by what Australia’s increasingly changeable climate had
already delivered： first a drought， then a destructive bush fire， and
then a foot of rain from a storm.
　　“It’s unstoppable，” said Mr Ruprecht， a former dairy
farmer.“We speak about the warmth of Mother Nature， but nature can
also be vicious， wild and unforgiving.”
　　Australia’s hellish （極不愉快的） fire season has eased， but its
people are facing more than a single disaster.With floods destroying
homes not far from where fires recently spread， they are facing a cycle of
what scientists call “compound extremes”： one climate disaster
strengthens the next.
　　Higher temperatures do more than just dry out the land.They also
heat up the atmosphere， which means clouds hold more moisture （水
汽） for longer periods of time.So droughts get worse， giving way to
fires， then to heavy rains that the land is too dry to absorb.
　　Many Australians in disaster zones complain that their government，
after ignoring climate change for years， has not yet worked out recovery
plans that are clear and that take future risks into account.
　　At the same time， the economic costs of a changing climate are
rising quickly.Philip Lowe， governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia，
warned recently that Australia was already paying a price， and that in
effect it would only go up.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇新聞報道。文章主要介紹了澳大利亞發生的
一系列極端氣候災害，包括它們的成因、給人們帶來的影響、經濟
成本等。
5. Why is Peter Ruprecht mentioned in the beginning？（　　）
A. To arouse readers’ pity.
B. To introduce the topic.
C. To stress the problem.
D. To call on readers to help.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇新聞報道。文章主要介紹了澳大利亞發生的
一系列極端氣候災害，包括它們的成因、給人們帶來的影響、經濟
成本等。
解析： 　推理判斷題。根據第一段可知，Peter Ruprecht的房子被
燒成廢墟反映出澳大利亞多變的氣候給人們造成了巨大的損失并引
發了一系列氣候災難：干旱、毀滅性的叢林大火和暴風雨造成的一
英尺的雨水。所以推知，提及Peter Ruprecht是為了引出話題：澳大
利亞的氣候災難。
6. Which word can replace the underlined word “vicious” in Paragraph
2？（　　）
A. empty B. kind
C. responsible D. violent
解析： 　詞義猜測題。根據畫線詞前的but可知，畫線詞所在分句
與前面的分句之間是轉折關系，根據but前面的warmth和畫線詞后
面的wild and unforgiving可知，vicious應與wild（狂暴的）和
unforgiving（難對付的）意思相近，與warmth（溫暖）意思相反，
故選D項“暴力的”。
7. What is the main cause of “compound extremes” in Australia？
（　　）
A. The government’s inaction.
B. Higher temperatures.
C. The lack of money.
D. No recovery plans.
解析： 　細節理解題。根據第三段中的one climate disaster
strengthens the next可知，compound extremes指的是一種氣候災害
加劇另一種；第四段闡述了這個過程，即溫度升高→大氣升溫→云
層鎖水量更大、時間更長→加劇土地干燥→火災→土地無法吸收的
大雨，因此是溫度升高導致了compound extremes。
8. In which section of the newspaper can we read this passage？（　　）
A. Food. B. Travel.
C. Climate. D. Agriculture.
解析： 　文章出處題。文章第一、二段引出話題：澳大利亞的氣
候災難，接下來的段落描述了氣候災難的危害、成因以及造成的經
濟成本等，所以本文話題與氣候相關。

　　Fishing trips to Canada are a tradition for Jeffrey Hardy and his three
friends from America.This summer in 2023， the forest air polluted with
wildfire smoke forced the men to give up their mid-June fishing
plan.Canada’s wildfire season put its tourism industry at a crucial time.
　　Except some days of poor air quality， major Canadian cities remain
unaffected by wildfires.The fires are in the country’s northern areas that
have drawn travelers interested in outdoor experiences in years past.
　　In a recent report by Destination Canada， a marketing
organization， half of the total spent by international visitors is in
Vancouver， Toronto and Montreal.But other Canadian destinations
attractive to visitors have been affected by the wildfires.
　　In preparation for increasing visitor sizes and ongoing wildfires，
some businesses are thinking about changing their operations， which see
outdoor recreation （娛樂） as a tourism opportunity.A nonprofit travel
agency is considering creating a questionnaire （調查問卷） for
customers to show when they would cancel a booking because of road
closes from the wildfires， poor air quality and a lack of visibility.
　　Tourism in British Columbia contributes greatly to its economy.The
province has various recreational offerings， from the major ski
destinations to hiking along the coast.Blackcomb， a helicopter tour
company， has canceled its sightseeing offerings， using most of its
helicopters on the firefighting effort until at least early August.“It’s the
question of flying our customers around on sightseeing tours or putting out
fires within 10 kilometers of our bases and the communities that we live
in，” said Jordy Norris， the company’s tourism director.“We made
it clear to both our staff and our customers that we have a duty to protect
the backyard.”
　　Darrin Rigo， a photographer， recently saw a photo of a beautiful
waterfall engulfed in fire on a media page.“I’m sure that’s not going
to last long， and everything will turn to normal，” he said.

9. Which part of Canada is most affected by the wildfire？（　　）
A. Canada’s central part.
B. The northern areas.
C. Major Canadian cities.
D. Places with few visitors.
解析： 　細節理解題。根據第二段第二句可知，這次山火主要影
響的是加拿大的北部地區。
10. What can be inferred about Jordy Norris？（　　）
A. He is sad about his company’s loss from the fire.
B. He is confident about the use of the questionnaire.
C. He is glad to join in the fight against the wildfire.

happens through videos and pictures.After that， an earthquake
