Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
When international aid is given, steps must be taken to ensure that the aid reaches the people for whom it is intended. The way to achieve this may not be simple. Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted men and women in every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes.
More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster, it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times. A common proverb says, “Give me a fish and I eat for a day; teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime.” If we follow this wise saying, it would be right to teach people from less developed nations to take care of themselves. For example, a country could share its technology with another. This could be in simple areas like agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites.
Even small country is able to help less developed nations. Sometimes what is taken for granted, like the setting up of a water purification plant or the administration of a school, could be useful for countries which are looking about to solve common problems. Exchange students could be attached for a number of months or years and learn the required craft while on the site. They can then take their knowledge back to their homelands. Such aid will be truly helpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or of it falling into the wrong hands.
Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills. It will not cost much to include deserving foreigners in these courses. Besides giving effective help to the countries concerned, there is also the build-up of friendships to consider. Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the short run. However, in the long run what is really effective would be the sharing of knowledge.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。灾难在全球是不可避免的。国际援助可以雪中送炭。然而援助要落到实处，就要有高效的措施。本文作者认为高效的援助不在于物质，而是平日里技术、知识的共享。
1．According to the author，how could international aid reach the victims in time
A．By solving the cost problems.
B．By solving the transportation problems.
C．By setting up a body of devoted people in every country.
D．By relying on the direct distribution of the UNO.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句“Perhaps the UNO ... floods and earthquakes.”可知，为了将救援物资快速地分配到灾区，联合国可以在各国组建一支特别团队，专门实施这项工作。
2．What does the author try to express in the underlined sentence in paragraph 2
A．Providing food is vital.
B．Learning to fish is helpful.
C．Teaching skills is essential.
D．Looking after others is important.
√
解析：句意猜测题。“Give me a fish and I eat for a day; teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime.”意为“授人以鱼不如授人以渔”，强调的是“渔(技术)”。后文举例印证。
3．Which aid is likely to fall into the wrong hands
A．A medical team.
B．An exchange program.
C．A water plant.
D．Financial support.
√
解析：推理判断题。第二段作者提到“授人以渔”的方式有农业、医疗、卫生保健甚至净水厂和学校的管理等。段末提到这些援助方式都不会“falling into the wrong hands”。由此推知，直接的经济援助可能会造成救援钱物被贪污或挪作他用。
4．What can we infer about international aid from the text
A．It is facing difficulties.
B．It is unnecessary during normal times.
C．It should be given in the form of materials.
D．It has gained support from developed countries.
√
解析：推理判断题。文章开头提出问题：“When international aid is given，steps ... it is intended.”第二段首句以及第三段分别阐述了解决当前国际援助困境的有效办法，说明国际援助正面临一些困难。
B
Villavicencio, a shabby city of half a million people, considers itself the city of half a gateway to los llanos, Colombia's eastern plains. Now and for the next few months few people will be passing through it. Mudslides (泥石流) since May have blocked the main highway, the Vaal Llano, which connects the city to Bogota, Colombia's capital. More rocks and mud threaten workers trying to unblock the road, along which two-thirds of domestically produced goods are transported. Colombia's government says this could take up to three months.
Residents of Villavicencio and the surrounding plains are beginning to feel the consequences. Potatoes, garlic and eggs have become scarce in grocery stores. Shoppers hunt through produce bins to find the few tomatoes and carrots that have not rotted. More than 90% of hotel reservations in the plain's region have been cancelled.
Colombia is a road-builder's nightmare. The Andes (安第斯山脉) separate into three ranges at the southern border. The mountains can climb to 4,000 metres from sea level in less than 100km. Colombia gets more rain than any other country in the world, which makes it harder to keep the road in good condition. Short of cash, the government has given private firms special rights to build roads. Vaal Llano, among the earliest projects built in this way, is likely to cause accidents.
To relieve los llanos' isolation, Satena, a state-owned airline, and EasyFly have announced more flights between Bogota and Villavicencio. The government has currently stopped passenger fees on flights between the cities. Goods can get through on two smaller alternative roads and money paid to use the two roads will be halved. But what the plains need most is a road that can cope with Colombia's dangerous, rain-soaked topography (地形). That goes for much of the rest of the country.
语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了哥伦比亚的一条主要公路干线发生泥石流后，给周围城市造成的影响以及相关机构采取的措施。
5．We can learn from the text that the highway the Vaal Llano .
A．is considered half a gateway to los llanos
B．connects los llanos and Colombia's capital
C．has been blocked by mudslides since May
D．won't be unblocked by workers until May
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Mudslides (泥石流) since May have blocked the main highway, the Vaal Llano”可知，自从5月以来，泥石流封锁了主要公路干线瓦尔·利亚诺。
6．What does the underlined word “scarce” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Available.　　　　 B．Inadequate.
C．Organic. D．Affordable.
解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段画线词后句可知，人们在装有农产品的箱子里寻找，只找到少数尚未腐烂的西红柿和胡萝卜，说明公路被封的后果是：农产品数量严重不足。所以scarce意为“缺乏的；不足的”，与B项意思相近。
√
7．Why is Colombia said to be a road-builder's nightmare
A．It's surrounded by mountains of different height in the south.
B．The continuous rain makes the construction of roads difficult.
C．The government lacks money to build and repair roads.
D．Car accidents are more likely to take place in Colombia.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段前三句可知，哥伦比亚是修路者的“噩梦”的原因是：安第斯山脉位于它的南部边境，分成三个部分，这些山脉在不到 100 公里的范围内落差极大，可以从海平面上升到4 000米，即被不同高度的山包围着。
8．According to the author, what's the best solution to los llanos' isolation
A．Providing more flights between Bogota and Villavicencio.
B．Cancelling passenger fees on flights between the cities.
C．Charging less money for using the two alternative roads.
D．Constructing a proper road that can survive the situation.
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段倒数第二句可知，目前最需要的是建造一条能够适应哥伦比亚危险的和多雨的地形特征的公路。

UNIT 6　课时检测(四)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。灾难在全球是不可避免的。国际援助可以雪中送炭。然而援助要落到实处，就要有高效的措施。本文作者认为高效的援助不在于物质，而是平日里技术、知识的共享。　　
1．选C　细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句“Perhaps the UNO ... floods and earthquakes.”可知，为了将救援物资快速地分配到灾区，联合国可以在各国组建一支特别团队，专门实施这项工作。
2．选C　句意猜测题。“Give me a fish and I eat for a day; teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime.”意为“授人以鱼不如授人以渔”，强调的是“渔(技术)”。后文举例印证。
3．选D　推理判断题。第二段作者提到“授人以渔”的方式有农业、医疗、卫生保健甚至净水厂和学校的管理等。段末提到这些援助方式都不会“falling into the wrong hands”。由此推知，直接的经济援助可能会造成救援钱物被贪污或挪作他用。
4．选A　推理判断题。文章开头提出问题：“When international aid is given，steps ... it is intended.”第二段首句以及第三段分别阐述了解决当前国际援助困境的有效办法，说明国际援助正面临一些困难。
语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了哥伦比亚的一条主要公路干线发生泥石流后，给周围城市造成的影响以及相关机构采取的措施。　　
5．选C　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Mudslides (泥石流) since May have blocked the main highway, the Vaal Llano”可知，自从5月以来，泥石流封锁了主要公路干线瓦尔·利亚诺。
6．选B　词义猜测题。根据第二段画线词后句可知，人们在装有农产品的箱子里寻找，只找到少数尚未腐烂的西红柿和胡萝卜，说明公路被封的后果是：农产品数量严重不足。所以scarce意为“缺乏的；不足的”，与B项意思相近。
7．选A　细节理解题。根据第三段前三句可知，哥伦比亚是修路者的“噩梦”的原因是：安第斯山脉位于它的南部边境，分成三个部分，这些山脉在不到 100 公里的范围内落差极大，可以从海平面上升到4 000米，即被不同高度的山包围着。
8．选D　细节理解题。根据最后一段倒数第二句可知，目前最需要的是建造一条能够适应哥伦比亚危险的和多雨的地形特征的公路。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
语篇解读：本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了为应对自然灾害，你可以为自己和家人准备一个应急包，以及应急包中应该备有什么物品。
9．选E　 根据上文可知，为应对自然灾害，你可以准备一个应急包。选项E的内容承上启下。
10．选D　根据上下文可知，一定要准备足够的水，并保证水的安全性。选项D出现的关键词water照应上下文内容，且此项与下文构成因果关系。
11．选B　空处为段首句，为本段的主旨。根据下文可知，本段讲的是带上避难和安全用品。
12．选G　由段首句可知，本段内容和电子产品相关；选项G解释了带电池、手电筒和收音机的原因，与上文构成因果关系，逻辑衔接自然。
13．选F　由段首句可知，本段内容与急救相关；选项F也和急救相关，与上下文意义一致。
