Typhoon Typhoons occur in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, particularly in exposed regions like the Caroline Islands, the Philippines, and Japan.The best place to hide during a typhoon is a secure basement or a bathroom with no windows.A must-have device is a battery-powered weather radio, through which you will hear evacuation orders or in other cases, instructions on how to survive in your shelter and learn about the weather situation. Flood Floods occur more often than any other natural disaster and change the landscape dramatically.They are usually caused by intense rainfalls lasting for days.Don’t try to be the bravest person around and stay in your house.Once you hear the evacuation warning, leave for safer higher grounds with your important papers in a waterproof container. Avalanche An avalanche can hit when you are enjoying Alpine skiing in a dreamlike location.It is very fast and disastrous, burying everything in its way under tons of snow.When an avalanche starts, try to move to the side of the slope as fast as you can.If you get buried in the snow, dig an air pocket to be able to keep breathing.Wait for the rescue team to find you and don’t waste your energy shouting or digging frantically.Call out when you bear the team approaching. Wildfire Wildfires spread at an amazing speed and destroy everything in their way.If you are caught in a wild fire, use a wet cloth to cover your nose and mouth to ensure that you can breathe.Try to stay upwind of the fire at all times and get close to a pond or river.Stay low and cover yourself with wet clothing, a blanket, or soil until the fire passes.21.What should people trapped in flood probably do when they hear the evacuation orders?( )A.Bring an umbrella with them. B.Go to higher places.C.Call out for help loudly. D.Get a torch in case of a blackout.22.Among the four natural disasters, which one requires people to run against the wind?( )A.Typhoon. B.Flood.C.Avalanche. D.Wildfire.23.What do we know from the text?( )A.Typhoons occur only in the exposed regions in the northwestern Pacific Ocean.B.Floods cause the most frequent damage among the disasters mentioned.C.Those who meet with avalanches are advised to call out the minute they’re trapped.D.Getting clean air matters most in the case of wildfires, despite the difficulty.B The world is lucky when our most brilliant minds choose to work for the common good.Young Ryan Honary is among one of the brilliant minds. Shocked by the deaths in the 2018 Camp Fire, California’s frightening wildfire, Honary turned his attention to how to decrease future disasters.In 2019, Honary won a $10,000 prize in the Ignite Innovation Student Challenge for his early wildfire detection network, which provides app technology for firefighters.He was only in fifth grade at the time. Turning 14 years old and going into the eighth grade this year, Honary is busy working in SensoRy AI, the company he set up.With the help of his father and a team of experts, the company has received a lot of attention. Honary started creating websites when he was in third grade.He learned Python and JavaScript in a local after-school program.At the same time, he was interested in animals and the environment.He became worried as he saw how much the environment was under pressure. When wildfires started ruining the air quality, destroying homes and killing some people, Honary thought about how AI can be used to solve environmental problems such as wildfires.In order to get data to train the machine learning models on his fire detectors, he collected real-world data from Google Earth about the Camp Fire of 2018 in California.Once a fire is detected by a fire detector, the information can be sent to the app he created.Also, machine learning can be used to predict where the fires are going. Honary is hoping to attract more people from his generation to his company.He believes the environment is going to be a big responsibility for all of us.24.What can be inferred from Paragraphs 2 and 3?( )A.Honary’s detecting network was free.B.Honary gained many awards in 2019.C.Honary’s company is facing serious challenges.D.Honary is young but makes amazing achievements.25.Why did Honary invent the detector?( )A.To make a fortune. B.To enlarge his company.C.To save firefighters. D.To reduce wildfire disasters.26.How did Honary train the machine learning models on detectors?( )A.By creating websites. B.By collecting data.C.By taking an after-school program. D.By sending information to the app.27.Which of the following can best describe Honary?( )A.Gifted and humorous. B.Curious and confident.C.Creative and responsible. D.Friendly and intelligent.C The public nowadays has a misunderstanding of forest fires, believing that fires should be kept out of every type of forest.Many of us can recall Smoky the Bear’s famous warning:“Remember, only YOU can prevent forest fires.” However, that’s not always the case.Under the right conditions, and when conducted safely, fire can create many environmental benefits as well as help prevent larger, uncontrollable wildfires. After a forest fire, many wildlife species will move into recently burned areas to feed on these newly available foods.Some reptiles and amphibians such as the snake prefer forests frequently burned by fire.As Herbert Stoddard put it,“One of the most harmful things modern man has done to birds has been his attempt to exclude fire from fire-type pine (松樹(shù)) forests.Within a few years most forests choke up with bushes, lose their prairie-like vegetation (草原般植被) and can no longer support birds which depend on periodic burning for their food supply and proper cover.” If you are asked to picture the forest floor, what do you see? Pine needles, cones, leaves, branches might come to mind — all sources of fuel.If these fuel sources build up without any type of removal, the “fuel load” can lead to fires which are huge disasters to forests and people alike.In contrast, prescribed fires can be used by forest professionals every couple of years to keep forest fuels at a proper and manageable level.They can also greatly reduce the spread of pest insects and disease and remove unwanted tree and plant species.Plus, they can create and maintain important wildlife habitats rich in grasses and promote the growth of trees, wildflowers and other various plants. Many organizations work to promote fire on the landscape.Smoky the Bear even has an updated warning: “Only YOU can prevent wildfires,” as the Forest Service has over the last few decades developed policies and measures to include prescribed fire as a useful tool, as well as continuing their work to prevent and fight wildfires.28.What can benefit birds according to Herbert Stoddard?( )A.Forest bushes. B.Periodic burning.C.Fuel sources. D.Pine forests.29.What does the underlined word “prescribed” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?( )A.Frequent. B.Wild.C.Planned. D.Damaging.30.Why do forest professionals need to conduct fire every couple of years according to the passage?( )A.To keep the forest in balance. B.To keep the fuel rich in the forest.C.To put out wildfires. D.To remove tree and plant species.31.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?( )A.To prevent the use of prescribed fire in the forest.B.To promote the complete exclusion of fire from forests.C.To educate people on positive aspects of controlled fires.D.To encourage the public to remove sources of forest fuels.D A heatwave has hit many countries in Europe, pushing temperatures over 40℃.A heatwave is a long period of unusually hot weather.The heat is expected to continue until the end of July. The Italian Island of Sardinia reached 46℃ on 18 July.The Italy government has asked people to dress in linen(a thin, light material) and to stay indoors between 10 am and 6 pm.The government has asked people to drink plenty of water but avoid alcohol, fizzy drinks and coffee, which can make you feel thirstier.In Rome, the country’s capital, people aged over 70 can go to swimming pools for free to help them keep cool. Wildfires have broken out in many places.In Greece, which recorded 41℃ on 18 July, fires near the capital, Athens, have destroyed huge areas of forest and thousands of people have been moved to safety.Heatwaves can make fires worse because hot weather dries plants, which fuel the fires. In the US, temperatures in Death Valley, California, hit 53℃ on 18 July, close to the hottest ever recorded on Earth.On 16 July, the US National Weather Service issued warnings in parts of the country, affecting more than 80 million people. Despite the high temperatures in many European countries, the UK is not experiencing a heatwave.This is because a different weather pattern has brought rain and lower temperatures to the UK. The heatwave in Europe is being caused by a weather pattern that has stopped the air from moving very much.That means the hot, dry weather has got stuck and temperatures have kept rising.Earth is also experiencing a natural climate pattern called El Nino(厄爾尼諾), which causes the water in the eastern Pacific Ocean to warm up more than usual.This can lead to hot weather around the world.Temperatures in some parts of Europe were expected to fall on 20 July.32.What suggestion did the Italian government give to avoid high temperatures? ( )A.Provide free swimming pools to keep young people cool.B.Wear thick clothes to prevent the invasion of heat.C.Drink enough amounts of coffee to keep the mind clear.D.Don’t go outdoors during high temperature periods.33.What do we know about the wildfires in Greece?( )A.The fires were mainly caused by people.B.The heatwaves fueled the spread of wildfires.C.The fires had already killed a thousand people.D.The entire forest has been destroyed into ruins.34.What prevented the UK from experiencing the heatwaves of Europe?( )A.Different weather patterns. B.Different geographic locations.C.Global El Nino phenomenon. D.The effect of the Pacific Ocean.35.What is the main idea of this passage?( )A.The hottest city on record in the world has finally emerged.B.The hot weather caused by heatwaves is coming to an end.C.Heatwaves swept across Europe and America except the UK.D.The El Nino phenomenon led to the global high temperatures.第二節(jié)(共5小題;每小題2.5分,滿(mǎn)分12.5分) 閱讀下面短文,從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。 An earthquake happens when two plates rub together.The Earth plates travel in different directions and at different speeds.36.( ) In other words, earthquakes are the shaking of the Earth’s surface caused by the Earth’s rocky outer layer.The energy stored within is suddenly released. The damage an earthquake causes depends on where it is and when it is happening.If an unpopulated region is struck, there will be low loss of life or property.37.( ) Many of the areas at risk are largely populated now.Major earthquakes hitting those areas today could produce terrible damage. 38.( ) Fortunately, however, most of them are unnoticed to the public because of the small Richter scale (震級(jí)).But large earthquakes such as the 1964 Alaskan quake that measured 9.2 on the Richter scale, can cause millions of dollars in damage. 39.( ) In 1972, a series of severe earthquakes struck Managua, Nicaragua.Fifteen years later, the city still looked the way it had a week after the earthquake hit, because the city was in such a mess that it didn’t have the money necessary to rebuild it. The shaking of the Earth is sometimes not the greatest disaster.40.( ) In the 1906 earthquake, it was the fires caused after it that did the majority of the damage.An earthquake can also destroy dams high above a city or valleys, causing floods to sweep away everything in their path.A.Actually, there are several million small earthquakes every year.B.It is in the fires and floods that often the greatest damage occurs.C.Throughout history, there are numerous destructive big earthquakes.D.If it hits a large city, there may be many injuries and much destruction.E.So it is of great importance to predict the movements of the Earth plates.F.If one plate is slowly forced under the other, pressure builds up until the plates break apart.G.The destructive damage of an earthquake can continue for years after the first shake.第三部分 語(yǔ)言運(yùn)用(共兩節(jié),滿(mǎn)分30分)第一節(jié)(共15小題;每小題1分,滿(mǎn)分15分) 閱讀下面短文, 從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 About twenty years ago, Jeff Fister was driving his 12-year-old son to school on a busy morning.His little baby was also in the backseat.He 41 at one of the city’s busiest street, and the light turned green. “Suddenly, out of nowhere, a car 42 into the back of our car,” he recalled.“We began to spin around (旋轉(zhuǎn)) while the other car landed upside down.” They were 43 but uninjured.When they got out of the car, his little baby 44 crying.“It was unbearable,” he said. Fister found himself 45 at a street corner, directly across from a medical center.There were lots of people 46 to work.Then he turned around and saw a woman who was wearing a healthcare 47 appear from the crowd, holding out her 48 . “She could see I was pretty scared,” he recalled.“And I just 49 the baby to her.It was really instinctive,” he said.After Fister started making phone calls and speaking to the police, he turned around and looked at the broken car window. “And I realized how 50 we were,” he said. When things calmed down, the woman handed his child back to Fister.She gave him a little wave and then 51 in the crowd. Since then, the woman’s act of 52 has become more and more meaningful to Fister.It has 53 him that the world is full of goodness, and people who want to help. “I don’t necessarily 54 all the angel stuff,”Fister said, “but certainly, I think there are people who decide to help someone out, just 55 simple acts of kindness like that woman did for me.”41.A.reached B.arrived C.passed D.rushed42.A.crashed B.changed C.broke D.looked43.A.worried B.nervous C.frightened D.excited44.A.brought out B.picked out C.let out D.burst out45.A.lying B.sitting C.standing D.smiling46.A.by the way B.in the way C.in this way D.on the way47.A.hat B.uniform C.sweater D.suit48.A.arms B.legs C.feet D.shoulders49.A.offered B.handed C.sent D.brought50.A.fortunate B.delighted C.ambitious D.comfortable51.A.sighed B.nodded C.disappeared D.wept52.A.generosity B.bravery C.wisdom D.determination53.A.informed B.told C.warned D.reminded54.A.persuade B.convince C.believe D.encourage55.A.practicing B.performing C.behaving D.defending第二節(jié)(共10小題;每小題1.5分,滿(mǎn)分15分) 閱讀下面短文,在空白處填入1個(gè)適當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~或括號(hào)內(nèi)單詞的正確形式。 In May 2021, Congo’s Mount Nyiragongo, one of the world’s most dangerous volcanoes, burst to life without warning.Lava erupted from cracks and 56.

The radio says the city has already been flooded.” “We can drive our car through the floodwater! Let’s just leave! I’m really scared!” cried Mary.“We can’t do that, honey,” explained Mum, “otherwise the moving water could wash the car away!” Mary walked to the door.She was curious to see how much water there was outside. “Don’t open the door!” shouted Mum and Dad at the same time.“The water may flood in!” Dad moved the dinner table against the door, in case the floodwater forced the door open.Mum waved to Mary to sit on the sofa.“Mary, don’t worry.Everything’s going to be OK,” she said softly, trying her best to comfort Mary.Her voice was calm, but Mary could tell she was worried too.

felt。64.However 考查副詞。空前后兩句之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,且空后有逗號(hào),應(yīng)用However,位于句首,首字母大寫(xiě)。65.signs 考查名詞的數(shù)。sign是可數(shù)名詞,意為“信號(hào)”,此處表示不止一個(gè),因此空格處用復(fù)數(shù),故填signs。第四部分第一節(jié)A Fire Drill in Our School In order to raise our safety awareness, our school held a fire drill last Saturday afternoon.All the teachers and students took part in the drill. At first, some firefighters were invited to give a speech.They showed us what to do in case of a fire, how to prevent the fire and how to use different kinds of fire-fighting equipment.Then a fire drill was held.As soon as the alarm rang, all of us students ran downstairs in order.We finally got together at the playground safely, where our teachers were waiting for us. Through the drill, we have learned how to escape in an emergency.I think it is important for us to remain calm and know what to do.第二節(jié) After a brief discussion, Mum and Dad made a decision.They believed that they should stay in the house.They thought it would be really dangerous to try to walk through the water to get to higher ground.“Mary, we’ll have to go upstairs and wait there,” said Mum.“OK, Mum.If that’s what you think is best,” Mary replied uncertainly.So they went upstairs and waited.Downstairs, water started flooding into the living room and kitchen.All three of them were nervous, but at least they had disaster supplies, including food and drinking water. Finally, the rain stopped.But Mary and her family couldn’t leave while the house was still flooded.They listened to the radio and learnt that rescue workers in boats were coming to rescue people who were trapped in their homes.They waited for a boat to arrive at their house.Their home had been badly damaged, but they were all happy to be alive.About half an hour later, the boat arrived and took Mary and her parents to a safe place.9 / 9(共98張PPT)單元質(zhì)量檢測(cè)(六) Disaster and hope(滿(mǎn)分150分,時(shí)間120分鐘)第一部分 聽(tīng)力(共兩節(jié),滿(mǎn)分30分)第一節(jié)(共5小題;每小題1.5分,滿(mǎn)分7.5分)聽(tīng)下面5段對(duì)話。每段對(duì)話后有一個(gè)小題,從題中所給的A、B、C三個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出最佳選項(xiàng)。聽(tīng)完每段對(duì)話后,你都有10秒鐘的時(shí)間來(lái)回答有關(guān)小題和閱讀下一小題。每段對(duì)話僅讀一遍。1.

Typhoons occur in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, particularly inexposed regions like the Caroline Islands, the Philippines, andJapan.The best place to hide during a typhoon is a secure basement or abathroom with no windows.A must-have device is a battery-poweredweather radio, through which you will hear evacuation orders or in othercases, instructions on how to survive in your shelter and learn about theweather situation. Typhoon Floods occur more often than any other natural disaster and changethe landscape dramatically.They are usually caused by intense rainfallslasting for days.Don’t try to be the bravest person around and stay inyour house.Once you hear the evacuation warning, leave for safer highergrounds with your important papers in a waterproof container. Flood An avalanche can hit when you are enjoying Alpine skiing in adreamlike location.It is very fast and disastrous, burying everything inits way under tons of snow.When an avalanche starts, try to move to theside of the slope as fast as you can.If you get buried in the snow, dig anair pocket to be able to keep breathing.Wait for the rescue team to find youand don’t waste your energy shouting or digging frantically.Call outwhen you bear the team approaching. Avalanche Wildfires spread at an amazing speed and destroy everything in theirway.If you are caught in a wild fire, use a wet cloth to cover your noseand mouth to ensure that you can breathe.Try to stay upwind of the fire atall times and get close to a pond or river.Stay low and cover yourself withwet clothing, a blanket, or soil until the fire passes.語(yǔ)篇解讀:本文是一篇應(yīng)用文。文章主要介紹了在遇到自然災(zāi)害時(shí)應(yīng)該如何挽救自己的生命。語(yǔ)篇解讀:本文是一篇應(yīng)用文。文章主要介紹了在遇到自然災(zāi)害時(shí)應(yīng)該如何挽救自己的生命。 Wildfire21.

Shocked by the deaths in the 2018 Camp Fire, California’sfrightening wildfire, Honary turned his attention to how to decreasefuture disasters.In 2019, Honary won a $10,000 prize in the IgniteInnovation Student Challenge for his early wildfire detection network,which provides app technology for firefighters.He was only in fifth gradeat the time. Turning 14 years old and going into the eighth grade this year,Honary is busy working in SensoRy AI, the company he set up.With thehelp of his father and a team of experts, the company has received a lotof attention. Honary started creating websites when he was in third grade.Helearned Python and JavaScript in a local after-school program.At the sametime, he was interested in animals and the environment.He becameworried as he saw how much the environment was under pressure. When wildfires started ruining the air quality, destroying homes andkilling some people, Honary thought about how AI can be used to solveenvironmental problems such as wildfires.In order to get data to train themachine learning models on his fire detectors, he collected real-worlddata from Google Earth about the Camp Fire of 2018 in California.Once afire is detected by a fire detector, the information can be sent to the apphe created.Also, machine learning can be used to predict where the firesare going. Honary is hoping to attract more people from his generation to hiscompany.He believes the environment is going to be a big responsibilityfor all of us.語(yǔ)篇解讀:本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了年輕的Ryan Honary發(fā)明了人工智能火災(zāi)探測(cè)器,降低了傷亡率。語(yǔ)篇解讀:本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了年輕的Ryan Honary發(fā)明了人工智能火災(zāi)探測(cè)器,降低了傷亡率。24.

After a forest fire, many wildlife species will move into recentlyburned areas to feed on these newly available foods.Some reptiles andamphibians such as the snake prefer forests frequently burned by fire.AsHerbert Stoddard put it,“One of the most harmful things modern manhas done to birds has been his attempt to exclude fire from fire-type pine(松樹(shù)) forests.Within a few years most forests choke up with bushes,lose their prairie-like vegetation (草原般植被) and can no longersupport birds which depend on periodic burning for their food supply andproper cover.” If you are asked to picture the forest floor, what do you see? Pineneedles, cones, leaves, branches might come to mind — all sources offuel.If these fuel sources build up without any type of removal, the“fuel load” can lead to fires which are huge disasters to forests andpeople alike.In contrast, prescribed fires can be used by forestprofessionals every couple of years to keep forest fuels at a proper andmanageable level.They can also greatly reduce the spread of pest insectsand disease and remove unwanted tree and plant species.Plus, they cancreate and maintain important wildlife habitats rich in grasses and promotethe growth of trees, wildflowers and other various plants. Many organizations work to promote fire on the landscape.Smoky theBear even has an updated warning: “Only YOU can preventwildfires,” as the Forest Service has over the last few decadesdeveloped policies and measures to include prescribed fire as a usefultool, as well as continuing their work to prevent and fight wildfires.語(yǔ)篇解讀:本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。公眾對(duì)森林火災(zāi)其實(shí)存在誤解,適當(dāng)條件下的火災(zāi)對(duì)環(huán)境有益處,并有助于防止更大規(guī)模無(wú)法控制的野火。語(yǔ)篇解讀:本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。公眾對(duì)森林火災(zāi)其實(shí)存在誤解,適當(dāng)條件下的火災(zāi)對(duì)環(huán)境有益處,并有助于防止更大規(guī)模無(wú)法控制的野火。28.

The damage an earthquake causes depends on where it is and when itis happening.If an unpopulated region is struck, there will be low loss oflife or property.37.( ) Many of the areas at risk are largelypopulated now.Major earthquakes hitting those areas today could produceterrible damage. 38. ( ) Fortunately, however, most of them are unnoticedto the public because of the small Richter scale (震級(jí)).But largeearthquakes such as the 1964 Alaskan quake that measured 9.2 on theRichter scale, can cause millions of dollars in damage. 39. ( ) In 1972, a series of severe earthquakes struckManagua, Nicaragua.Fifteen years later, the city still looked the way ithad a week after the earthquake hit, because the city was in such a messthat it didn’t have the money necessary to rebuild it. The shaking of the Earth is sometimes not the greatest disaster.40.( ) In the 1906 earthquake, it was the fires caused after it that didthe majority of the damage.An earthquake can also destroy dams highabove a city or valleys, causing floods to sweep away everything in theirpath.A. Actually, there are several million small earthquakes every year.B. It is in the fires and floods that often the greatest damage occurs.C. Throughout history, there are numerous destructive big earthquakes.D. If it hits a large city, there may be many injuries and muchdestruction.E. So it is of great importance to predict the movements of the Earthplates.F. If one plate is slowly forced under the other, pressure builds up untilthe plates break apart.G. The destructive damage of an earthquake can continue for years afterthe first shake.語(yǔ)篇解讀:本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章主要介紹了地震形成的原因、影響等。36.
