Haiti Earthquake
A great earthquake hit Haiti on 12 January 2010. Its center was located just southwest of Port-Au-Prince, the capital and largest city of Haiti. It is the strongest earthquake to hit the country since 1770. It led to 100，000 to 316，000 deaths and left 2 million people homeless and 3 million people in need of immediate help. At least $195 million have been given by different countries, along with a large number of rescue workers to support rescue efforts.
Kashmir Earthquake
The Kashmir earthquake happened on the morning of 8 October 2005. It was centered near the city of Muzaffarabad. The official number of deaths was 75,000 and there were 106,000 people who were injured. As Saturday is a normal school day in the area, most students were at schools when the earthquake happened. Many young people were buried under destroyed school buildings. Many people were also trapped in their homes. Reports said that entire towns and villages were completely wiped out in northern Pakistan. The serious damage was mainly because of poor buildings.

（2022·广东湛江·高一期末）Can you survive an unannounced storm Although there is expert broadcasting and we are equipped with cellphone, there're still some instances when the violent weather takes us by surprise.
While most Atlantic hurricanes form off the coast of Africa giving plenty of early warning sudden Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico hurricanes form and move rapidly in less than a day's time, endangering everyone and everything in their path.
There have been oil workers trapped off the shore when sudden storms appeared. Field archeologists have been stuck in coastal areas without storm warning. It wasn't but a few decades ago that a Texas National Guard group was trapped on the beach by rain-forced flooding and had to ride out a major hurricane during a training exercise. There have been a few instances when travelers were trapped on an island or in a coastal area and unable to escape in time.
Escaping from the storm-threatened areas is generally a choice for most of us——but not for all. Each year thousands of islanders across the Caribbean face the danger of hurricanes without so much as a public shelter to hide in. Most ride out the storm in their homes.
But there're a few things you can do to prepare yourself for some unexpected emergencies. Being prepared for the unexpected may be your best and only defense. If you're headed to the great outdoors for a few days or weeks, you should always carry a flashlight (手电筒) with extra batteries,a GPS device (装置), and a basic medical box. If you're traveling in your car, remember you may suffer from high winds. You'd better not stay inside to avoid being blown away along with your car. Keeping your head and your courage up is essential to survival in any type of danger. Let common sense guide you and always be prepared for the worst.
4．According to the text, most Atlantic hurricanes_________.
A．form in the Caribbean Sea.
B．come from Gulf of Mexico.
C．develop off the coast of Africa.
D．are from the Pacific Ocean.
5．What is the third paragraph mainly about
A．The bad situations of oil workers.
B．People trapped by sudden storms.
C．The danger of traveling on an island.
D．The Texas National Guard group.
6．What is the purpose of the last paragraph
A．To give some advice.
B．To encourage traveling.
C．To give some warnings.
D．To underline the danger of hurricanes.
7．What is necessary in the unexpected emergencies
A．A fast car.
B．An experienced guide.
C．Confidence in the help from others.
D．More practical knowledge of survival.

（2021·新疆维吾尔自治区喀什第二中学高一期末）Earthquakes happen without warning (前兆). They can happen any time of a day, at any point during the year. But don’t
worry because most are so weak that they cannot be felt. Only a few big ones hurt people. However, it’s important to know what to do when an earthquake is happening.
Do NOT go outside. You could get injured from falling glass or parts of buildings. If you are outside, stay away from buildings and power lines (输电线).
Stay under a desk, table, or other strong furniture. Hold on to it. Or stay in a corner of the building. Cover your face and head with your arms and cover your mouth with a towel or clothing. Stay inside until shaking stops and it is safe to go outside.
Keep away from windows, pictures or advertisements on the wall or the building, and anything else that could fall and hurt you. Most people get injured by falling things during an earthquake, not by the shaking itself.
Also keep away from a fire. You could fall down and burn yourself on the fire.
If you are driving when an earthquake happens, stop the car if it’s safe. Stay inside your car until the earthquake stops, and don’t drive near bridges. Try not to stop by power lines or trees. These could fall and hurt you.

（2022·湖北省通山县第一中学高一期末）There were still lots of aftershocks(余震), often this would lead to all the students running outside, normal classes were impossible. Lots of students were troubled by recent events and many would not sleep in their dormitories. On
the afternoon after the earthquake there was a thunderstorm, the loud crack of thunder sent some students towards the door. As they returned, the relief and laughter were evident in this latest false alarm.
The weekend after the earthquake we were in Chengdu on a pre-arranged trip. During that weekend, there were dozens of aftershocks. It was at this time that we decided enough was enough; we would complete our contracts then leave that summer. At the end of that weekend, there had been over 400 aftershocks with a few measured as high as 6.0 on the Richter scale.
On Monday afternoon, exactly one week after the first shock, there was a memorial service on TV for those that died, were missing or injured. It was observed by all the students in my class, many were openly crying, others in silence with their heads down. The rest of that afternoon it was difficult to teach. I was getting an increased feeling of “I don’t want to be here anymore,” I could see many of the students did not want to be at school either.
We eventually left Wenchuan on the 15th of July; lots of students told us they were surprised we stayed that long. When we arrived in Sichuan province, we were not aware we were even in an earthquake area. Prior to 2008 there had not been a serious earthquake in the province since the 1930’s. By November 2008, there had been more than 40,000 reported aftershocks.
12．What does the underline phrase memorial service in the third paragraph mean
A．A grand march B．A mourning ceremony
C．A celebration party D．A great speech
13．What can we conclude from the passage according to the author
A．A journalist who happened to be in the earthquake-stricken area,
B．A writer who collected materials for writing science fiction.
C．A tourist who was travelling in Sichuan during the earthquake.
D．A teacher who stayed with the students when the earthquake struck.
14．Why did some students laughed when they rushed to the door
A．Because there were no more aftershocks. B．Because there would be no more classes.
C．Because they mistook the thunder as an aftershock.
D．Because they were troubled by the terrible earthquake.
15．How might the author feel when he left Sichuan after July
A．Relieved B．Surprised C．Shocked D．Disappointed

47．（2020·全国·高一单元测试）阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I looked forward to a visit with my mom, who lived 2,000 miles from my home in California. Since Mom was 80 and suffered from Alzheimer’s (阿兹海默症), I realized how important it was to see her again soon.
Mom received loving care from the Sister Servants of Christ the King at a 40-bed, basic-care facility (场所) in Edgeley, North Dakota. She lived in a simple room, spent most of her day doing simple things, and seemed to be “all right, “considering that dementia (痴呆) had set in.
When Mom came in, I smiled, hugged and kissed her, and said, “Nice to see you, Mom.” She didn’t recognize who I was! I was shocked.
Stressed out, I spent several hours trying to connect with my mother—talking with her, walking around the grounds, looking at family pictures in her room, chatting with the nuns (修女) —doing whatever I could think of to help Mom recognize her son. I hoped for a recognition “wonder”. But nothing I said or did worked, I was very annoyed.
The next morning, I suddenly had an idea. I thought of something that might stir her memory (记忆).I thought of strawberry milkshake (草莓奶昔). Yes, strawberry milkshake in Edgeley, North Dakota. So I took Mom to the Edgeley Coffee Shop. I wanted to treat her here. While Mom was looking at the menu, I took Sandy, the waitress, aside, quietly told her of Mom’s dementia condition and my plan to recall her long-term memory, and ordered two strawberry milkshakes.
The first paragraph: When Sandy delivered the milkshakes, I was too nervous to say a word.
The second paragraph: There’s a simple explanation for Mom’s memory.
注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

根据上文“It is impossible to stop a hurricane or make it change its way, so if you ever find yourself in the path of a hurricane(阻止飓风或改变它的方式是不可能的，所以如果你发现自己正处于飓风的路径上)”和下文的大概内容可知这一句可作为文章的中心句，放在首段的最后一句，引出下文的内容。D项：Be sure to follow the safety tips below(一定要遵循下面的安全提示)符合语境。故选D。
17．
根据上文“Be sure you have a battery-powered radio, full-charged mobile phones, fresh drinking water and a supply of food.( 确保你有一个电池供电的收音机，充满电的手机，新鲜的饮用水和充足的食物。)”和下文“be sure you have full supply（保证你有足够的供应)”可知，前句有Be sure you have..., 后句也是be sure you have full supply（保证你有足够的供应)，是进一步阐述发生的需要供应充足的情况，所以E选项中的Also连接适当，另外在危机中，什么情况下保证有足够供应呢？当然是需要药物的时候。E项：Also, if anyone of your family needs special medicine(还有，如果你家里有人需要特殊药物)符合语境。故选E。

19．
根据上文“If local authorities instruct you to evacuate, do it immediately.(如果当地政府指示疏散，请立即撤离。)”和下文“If the electricity goes out, the fuel pumps at gas stations will not work.(如果停电，加油站的油泵就无法工作。)”可知，上文说如果当地权威部门让你撤离，赶紧撤离。下文是如果没电了，汽油站是没法加油（fuel）的，因此可知撤离之前，趁飓风来之前，赶紧加“fuel”。C项：Before a hurricane arrives, be sure your family’s car is filled with fuel.(在飓风到来之前，确保你家里的车装满了燃料。)符合语境。故选C。
20．

46．Dear Kate,
I’m writing to inform you a newcomer, of some tips on hurricane safety so that you can survive this common threat to a coastal city.
Knowing what to do matters when a hurricane strikes. Before a hurricane, make sure your property is protected. Close windows and bring indoors anything that could blow away. You should have sufficient food, water, medicine and batteries for emergency. During a hurricane, you’d better stay in the shelter, away from windows and listen to weather warning. Do not assume the storm has passed and go out even if the wind stops. Dangerous winds may return.
Yours

47． When Sandy delivered the milkshakes, I was too nervous to say a word. My mother looked at me with the milkshake in her hand. I was a little bit disappointed, wondering what to do . I sat opposite my mother, drinking the strawberry milkshake as fast as I could, just as I was a child. She drank the milkshake slowly. After about three minutes, she stopped, looking at my empty cup, and then her full cup. And then she poured her milkshake into my cup ,saying，smiling,“Joseph, when did you come back here ” .
There’s a simple explanation for Mom’s memory. When I was a kid, my family was not rich enough to buy more strawberries. Even so, father would buy some as strawberry milkshake was the favorite of both my mother and me. Every time mother made the strawberry milkshake, my family would sit around the table, drinking and chatting. In fact , mother was always watching me drinking the milkshake. If I drank up mine, she would pour hers into my cup.
【解析】
【分析】
本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，作者80高龄的妈妈患了老年痴呆症。当作者去看望她时，她已经认不出儿子了。作者尝试了很多方法想帮助妈妈认出他，但是都不起作用。后来，作者突然有了一个想法，用草莓奶昔可能会唤起妈妈的记忆。于是到咖啡店里，告诉服务员Sandy关于妈妈老年痴呆的情况，并点了两份草莓奶昔。
【详解】
续写部分分为两段，第1段开头是：当Sandy把草莓奶昔拿来时，作者紧张得说不出话来。接下来应该写观察妈妈看到自己喝草莓奶昔时的反应。作者像小时候一样，迅速把草莓奶昔喝完，妈妈就把她的奶昔倒进作者的杯子里。这时妈妈想起了作者的名字。
第2段开头是：关于妈妈的回忆，有一个简单的解释。下面应该写一件让妈妈回忆起儿子的印象深刻的事件。小时候，草莓奶昔是妈妈和作者都喜欢喝的。但是因为家境贫困，喝草莓奶昔的机会不多。每次家里喝草莓奶昔的时候，作者先喝完，妈妈就将自己的倒进作者的杯子里。是这个母爱的动作让妈妈想起了儿子。
续写时要注意所续写短文的词数应是150左右，按要求完成写作任务。
【点睛】
本文续写内容合理，描写详略得当，重点突出，同时表达时也使用了很多高级词汇，如a little bit disappointed有点失望；opposite对面；as … as sb. can尽某人所能；just as正如；pour… into把…倒进；even so即使如此；favorite最喜欢的；sit around闲坐等；还运用了复杂的句式，如“with的复合结构”的运用with the milkshake in her hand；现在分词作伴随状语的运用I sat opposite my mother, drinking the strawberry milkshake；时间状语从句的运用 Every time mother made the strawberry milkshake, my family would sit around the table等。Unit 2 Natural Disasters

Haiti Earthquake
A great earthquake hit Haiti on 12 January 2010. Its center was located just southwest of Port-Au-Prince, the capital and largest city of Haiti. It is the strongest earthquake to hit the country since 1770. It led to 100，000 to 316，000 deaths and left 2 million people homeless and 3 million people in need of immediate help.

（2022·广东湛江·高一期末）Can you survive an unannounced storm Although there is expert broadcasting and we are equipped with cellphone, there're still some instances when the violent weather takes us by surprise.
While most Atlantic hurricanes form off the coast of Africa giving plenty of early warning sudden Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico hurricanes form and move rapidly in less than a day's time, endangering everyone and everything in their path.
There have been oil workers trapped off the shore when sudden storms appeared. Field archeologists have been stuck in coastal areas without storm warning. It wasn't but a few decades ago that a Texas National Guard group was trapped on the beach by rain-forced flooding and had to ride out a major hurricane during a training exercise. There have been a few instances when travelers were trapped on an island or in a coastal area and unable to escape in time.
Escaping from the storm-threatened areas is generally a choice for most of us——but not for all. Each year thousands of islanders across the Caribbean face the danger of hurricanes without so much as a public shelter to hide in. Most ride out the storm in their homes.
But there're a few things you can do to prepare yourself for some unexpected emergencies. Being prepared for the unexpected may be your best and only defense. If you're headed to the great outdoors for a few days or weeks, you should always carry a flashlight (手电筒) with extra batteries,a GPS device (装置), and a basic medical box. If you're traveling in your car, remember you may suffer from high winds. You'd better not stay inside to avoid being blown away along with your car. Keeping your head and your courage up is essential to survival in any type of danger. Let common sense guide you and always be prepared for the worst.
4．According to the text, most Atlantic hurricanes_________.
A．form in the Caribbean Sea.
B．come from Gulf of Mexico.
C．develop off the coast of Africa.
D．are from the Pacific Ocean.
5．What is the third paragraph mainly about
A．The bad situations of oil workers.
B．People trapped by sudden storms.
C．The danger of traveling on an island.
D．The Texas National Guard group.
6．What is the purpose of the last paragraph
A．To give some advice.
B．To encourage traveling.
C．To give some warnings.
D．To underline the danger of hurricanes.
7．What is necessary in the unexpected emergencies
A．A fast car.
B．An experienced guide.
C．Confidence in the help from others.
D．More practical knowledge of survival.

（2021·新疆维吾尔自治区喀什第二中学高一期末）Earthquakes happen without warning (前兆). They can happen any time of a day, at any point during the year. But don’t
worry because most are so weak that they cannot be felt. Only a few big ones hurt people. However, it’s important to know what to do when an earthquake is happening.
Do NOT go outside. You could get injured from falling glass or parts of buildings. If you are outside, stay away from buildings and power lines (输电线).
Stay under a desk, table, or other strong furniture. Hold on to it. Or stay in a corner of the building. Cover your face and head with your arms and cover your mouth with a towel or clothing. Stay inside until shaking stops and it is safe to go outside.
Keep away from windows, pictures or advertisements on the wall or the building, and anything else that could fall and hurt you. Most people get injured by falling things during an earthquake, not by the shaking itself.
Also keep away from a fire. You could fall down and burn yourself on the fire.
If you are driving when an earthquake happens, stop the car if it’s safe. Stay inside your car until the earthquake stops, and don’t drive near bridges. Try not to stop by power lines or trees. These could fall and hurt you.

（2022·湖北省通山县第一中学高一期末）There were still lots of aftershocks(余震), often this would lead to all the students running outside, normal classes were impossible. Lots of students were troubled by recent events and many would not sleep in their dormitories. On
the afternoon after the earthquake there was a thunderstorm, the loud crack of thunder sent some students towards the door. As they returned, the relief and laughter were evident in this latest false alarm.
The weekend after the earthquake we were in Chengdu on a pre-arranged trip. During that weekend, there were dozens of aftershocks. It was at this time that we decided enough was enough; we would complete our contracts then leave that summer. At the end of that weekend, there had been over 400 aftershocks with a few measured as high as 6.0 on the Richter scale.
On Monday afternoon, exactly one week after the first shock, there was a memorial service on TV for those that died, were missing or injured. It was observed by all the students in my class, many were openly crying, others in silence with their heads down. The rest of that afternoon it was difficult to teach. I was getting an increased feeling of “I don’t want to be here anymore,” I could see many of the students did not want to be at school either.
We eventually left Wenchuan on the 15th of July; lots of students told us they were surprised we stayed that long. When we arrived in Sichuan province, we were not aware we were even in an earthquake area. Prior to 2008 there had not been a serious earthquake in the province since the 1930’s. By November 2008, there had been more than 40,000 reported aftershocks.

A．A journalist who happened to be in the earthquake-stricken area,
B．A writer who collected materials for writing science fiction.
C．A tourist who was travelling in Sichuan during the earthquake.
D．A teacher who stayed with the students when the earthquake struck.
14．Why did some students laughed when they rushed to the door
A．Because there were no more aftershocks. B．Because there would be no more classes.
C．Because they mistook the thunder as an aftershock.
D．Because they were troubled by the terrible earthquake.
15．How might the author feel when he left Sichuan after July
A．Relieved B．Surprised C．Shocked D．Disappointed

47．（2020·全国·高一单元测试）阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I looked forward to a visit with my mom, who lived 2,000 miles from my home in California. Since Mom was 80 and suffered from Alzheimer’s (阿兹海默症), I realized how important it was to see her again soon.
Mom received loving care from the Sister Servants of Christ the King at a 40-bed, basic-care facility (场所) in Edgeley, North Dakota. She lived in a simple room, spent most of her day doing simple things, and seemed to be “all right, “considering that dementia (痴呆) had set in.
When Mom came in, I smiled, hugged and kissed her, and said, “Nice to see you, Mom.” She didn’t recognize who I was! I was shocked.
Stressed out, I spent several hours trying to connect with my mother—talking with her, walking around the grounds, looking at family pictures in her room, chatting with the nuns (修女) —doing whatever I could think of to help Mom recognize her son. I hoped for a recognition “wonder”. But nothing I said or did worked, I was very annoyed.
The next morning, I suddenly had an idea. I thought of something that might stir her memory (记忆).I thought of strawberry milkshake (草莓奶昔). Yes, strawberry milkshake in Edgeley, North Dakota. So I took Mom to the Edgeley Coffee Shop. I wanted to treat her here. While Mom was looking at the menu, I took Sandy, the waitress, aside, quietly told her of Mom’s dementia condition and my plan to recall her long-term memory, and ordered two strawberry milkshakes.
The first paragraph: When Sandy delivered the milkshakes, I was too nervous to say a word.
The second paragraph: There’s a simple explanation for Mom’s memory.
注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
