UNIT 4　NATURAL DISASTERS
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
　　Brushing my teeth， I heard what sounded like branches scraping （刮擦） the roof.I paused， wondering what it could be.Then I thought that must have been Hurricane Isabel， which was blowing her way through our city in September 2003.
　　Then I heard the sound of breaking glass.A second later， the entire house shook.My husband and I stared at each other in frozen horror before rushing to check on our baby daughter asleep in her bed.The sound had scared her awake — never had a cry sounded so sweet — and my husband gratefully snatched （抱起） her up and ran to the relative safety of our room.
　　Then we ventured out.My husband started the car while I hurried across the street to let a neighbour know we were okay and heading to a friend’s home.Shaking but grateful to be alive， we drove away.
　　The next morning， bright sunlight clearly displayed the storm’s destruction.We returned home to see that a giant tree in the center of our yard had effectively split our house in two！
　　As we stood on the sidewalk wondering what to do， a local fire truck pulled up.The firefighters informed us that our home had received the worst damage in the city.When we meet neighbours for the first time， their eyes pop when they realise we live in the house the tree fell through.
　　In the days and weeks that followed， we remembered the feeling of relief when we realised that everyone in our lives who mattered was unscathed — me， my husband， our daughter and even our two pets.
　　Yes， we lost many things.But those things were replaceable and the damage was temporary.
　　Every so often we pull out the photos of the tree’s destruction and feel surprised at how blessed we were — and still are.Whenever we begin to feel ungrateful or unsatisfied with what we have， those photos and memories offer a reminder of how we came through that trial.

　　（2025·皖豫名校联考）As the United Nations COP27 climate conference kicked off in Egypt， UN Secretary-General António Guterres claimed that the world is on a “highway to climate hell with our foot still on the accelerator （油门）”. To keep temperature from rising 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels by 2100， we need to pump the brakes on greenhouse gas emissions.In fact， we’d basically have to bring the runaway truck to a complete and immediate stop.Now is the time for us to pull back before it is too late.
　　The climate pledges （承诺） made by nations at COP26 conference felt like a positive step in the right direction， but there’s very little doubt that the average temperature rise on Earth will exceed the 1.5 degree mark in the coming decades.Can we limit this overshoot？ And how might we do that？
　　A study， released Thursday in the scientific journal Nature Climate Change， tried to answer those questions by modeling 27 different emissions reduction pathways of varying ambition.It came to an unsurprising conclusion： Countries need to act by increasing the ambition of their climate pledges.And they need to act now.
　　The 1.5 degree rise has long been seen as a critical mark in the fight against climate change.Since the signing of the Paris Agreement at COP21 ten years ago， scientists have rigorously studied how this level of warming above preindustrial temperatures would affect the Earth.The models and simulations they’ve built show we are likely to see more extreme weather events， in addition to glacial melt， sea level rise that threatens many low-lying Pacific nations and significant loss of biodiversity once temperatures push past an increase of 1.5 degrees.
　　Though the 1.5 degree target is practically dead， the situation isn’t hopeless.Now more than ever， there’s reason to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by setting more ambitious goals.However， ambition alone is not enough.We also need action — investing in renewables and technologies like carbon capture and rapidly transforming our energy systems and infrastructure.
5.What did António Guterres try to do in the first paragraph？（　　）
A.Make a request. B.Issue a warning.
C.Provide a solution. D.Offer a suggestion.
6.What was the conclusion of the study released in Nature Climate Change？（　　）
A.The shortest answer is doing. B.Setting a goal is what matters.
C.What’s done cannot be undone. D.Failing to plan is planning to fail.
7.What do the models and simulations the scientists have built intend to show？（　　）
A.The consequences of rising temperatures. B.The problems with extreme weather events.
C.The solutions to controlling global warming. D.The importance of protecting the environment.
8.How does the author end the passage？（　　）
A.By sharing confidence and inspiring. B.By expressing concern and criticizing.
C.By voicing doubts and making complaints. D.By spreading hope and appealing for action.

　　（2024·1月浙江卷）On September 7， 1991， the costliest hailstorm （雹暴） in Canadian history hit Calgary’s southern suburbs.As a result， since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project.Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones.But farmers in east-central Alberta — downwind of the hail project flights — worry that precious moisture （水分） is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.
　　Norman Stienwand， who farms in that area， has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years.“Basically， the provincial government is letting the insurance companies protect the Calgary-Edmonton urban area from hail，” Mr.Stienwand says， “but they’re increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”
　　The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss， a cloud physicist who works for Weather Modification Inc.of Fargo， North Dakota.“We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air， so we cannot be causing drought，” Dr.Krauss says.“In fact， we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.”
　　One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell， a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma.“In 1999， I personally saw significant tornadoes （龙卷风） form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas，” Dr.Doswell says.“Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind？ No one really knows， of course， but the seeding goes on.”
　　Given the degree of doubt， Mr.Stienwand suggests， “it would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice， doubt has had the opposite effect.Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts， no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies.Hence， private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.
9.What does the project aim to do？（　　）
A.Conserve moisture in the soil.　　　　　　　　　 B.Prevent the formation of hailstones.
C.Forecast disastrous hailstorms. D.Investigate chemical use in farming.
10.Who are opposed to the project？（　　）
A.Farmers in east-central Alberta. B.Managers of insurance companies.
C.Provincial government officials. D.Residents of Calgary and Edmonton.
11.Why does Dr.Doswell mention the tornadoes he saw in 1999？（　　）
A.To compare different kinds of seeding methods. B.To illustrate the development of big hailstorms.
C.To indicate a possible danger of cloud seeding. D.To show the link between storms and moisture.
12.What can we infer from the last paragraph？（　　）
A.Scientific studies have proved Stienwand right. B.Private climate engineering is illegal in Canada.
C.The doubt about cloud seeding has disappeared. D.Cloud-seeding companies will continue to exist.

　　（2024·新课标Ⅰ卷阅读理解B）“I am not crazy，” says Dr.William Farber， shortly after performing acupuncture （针灸） on a rabbit.“I am ahead of my time.” If he seems a little defensive， it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods.But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh.He’s one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians （兽医） now practicing “holistic” medicine — combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture， chiropractic （按摩疗法） and herbal medicine.
　　Farber， a graduate of Colorado State University， started out as a more conventional veterinarian.He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain.He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief.Then he tried acupuncture， an ancient Chinese practice， and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments.What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients.So， after studying the techniques for a couple of years， he began offering them to pets.
　　Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition.After Charlie had a heart attack， Tindale says， she was prepared to put him to sleep， but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months.And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse， Nappy， “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment.
　　Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time， and if the past is any indication， he may be right： Since 1982， membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700.“Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well，” he says.“I will do anything to help an animal.That’s my job.”
24.What do some of Farber’s coworkers think of him？（　　）
A.He’s odd.　　　　 B.He’s strict.
C.He’s brave. D.He’s rude.
25.Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets？（　　）
A.He was trained in it at university.
B.He was inspired by another veterinarian.
C.He benefited from it as a patient.
D.He wanted to save money for pet owners.
26.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about？（　　）
A.Steps of a chiropractic treatment.
B.The complexity of veterinarians’ work.
C.Examples of rare animal diseases.
D.The effectiveness of holistic medicine.
27.Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association？（　　）
A.To prove Farber’s point.
B.To emphasize its importance.
C.To praise veterinarians.
D.To advocate animal protection.

【素养·培育落实】
一、做真题
24.A　推理判断题。根据第一段中some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods可知，Farber的一些同事偶尔会嘲笑他不寻常的治疗方法；再结合文章首句中Farber所说I am not crazy可知，Farber的一些同事认为他很奇怪。
25.C　细节理解题。根据第二段中的He became interested in alternative treatments ...What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients.可知，Farber尝试针灸治疗之后背痛得到了缓解，从中获得了益处，所以他决定把针灸应用到宠物身上。
26.D　段落大意题。第三段主要介绍了两个动物经过Farber的治疗后，病情有所好转，即Farber的针灸、按摩疗法、草药和传统的西医治疗相结合的整体医学取得了良好的效果。
27.A　目的意图题。最后一段中的Since 1982 ...grown from 30 to over 700.具体解释了冒号前的the past。由此推断，作者提到该组织是为了证明Farber的观点是正确的。
三、再利用
（四）1.①offering　②serious　2.v.死，长眠
（五）1.became interested in　2.was amazed
（六）并列句　时间状语从句　结果状语从句　在查理心脏病发作后，丁代尔表示，她准备让它安乐死，但法伯的治疗大大缓解了狗狗的痛苦，能够让它多活五个月。

真题剖析，深度探究
　　 （2024·新课标Ⅰ卷阅读理解B）“I am not crazy，” says
Dr.William Farber， shortly after performing acupuncture （针
灸） on a rabbit.“I am ahead of my time.” If he seems a little defensive， it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods.But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh.He’s one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians （兽医） now practicing “holistic” medicine — combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture， chiropractic （按摩疗法） and herbal medicine.
　　Farber， a graduate of Colorado State University， started out as a
more conventional veterinarian.He became interested in alternative
treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain.He tried
muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief.Then he tried acupuncture，
an ancient Chinese practice， and was amazed that he improved after two
or three treatments.What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work
on his patients.So， after studying the techniques for a couple of years，
he began offering them to pets.
　　Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition.After
Charlie had a heart attack， Tindale says， she was prepared to put him to
sleep， but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that
she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months.And Priscilla
Dewing reports that her horse， Nappy， “moves more easily and rides
more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment.
　　Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular
with time， and if the past is any indication， he may be right： Since
1982， membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical
Association has grown from 30 to over 700.“Sometimes it surprises me
that it works so well，” he says.“I will do anything to help an
animal.That’s my job.”
24. What do some of Farber’s coworkers think of him？（　　）
A. He’s odd. B. He’s strict.
C. He’s brave. D. He’s rude.
解析：　推理判断题。根据第一段中some of his coworkers
occasionally laugh at his unusual methods可知，Farber的一些同事偶尔
会嘲笑他不寻常的治疗方法；再结合文章首句中Farber所说I am not
crazy可知，Farber的一些同事认为他很奇怪。
√
25. Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets？（　　）
A. He was trained in it at university.
B. He was inspired by another veterinarian.
C. He benefited from it as a patient.
D. He wanted to save money for pet owners.
解析：　细节理解题。根据第二段中的He became interested in alternative treatments ...What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients.可知，Farber尝试针灸治疗之后背痛得到了缓解，从中获得了益处，所以他决定把针灸应用到宠物身上。
√
26. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about？（　　）
A. Steps of a chiropractic treatment.
B. The complexity of veterinarians’ work.
C. Examples of rare animal diseases.
D. The effectiveness of holistic medicine.
解析：　段落大意题。第三段主要介绍了两个动物经过Farber的治
疗后，病情有所好转，即Farber的针灸、按摩疗法、草药和传统的西
医治疗相结合的整体医学取得了良好的效果。
√
27. Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary
Medical Association？（　　）
A. To prove Farber’s point.
B. To emphasize its importance.
C. To praise veterinarians.
D. To advocate animal protection.
解析：　目的意图题。最后一段中的Since 1982 ...grown from 30 to
over 700.具体解释了冒号前的the past。由此推断，作者提到该组织是

　　Brushing my teeth， I heard what sounded like branches scraping
（刮擦） the roof.I paused， wondering what it could be.Then I thought
that must have been Hurricane Isabel， which was blowing her way
through our city in September 2003.
　　Then I heard the sound of breaking glass.A second later， the entire
house shook.My husband and I stared at each other in frozen horror before
rushing to check on our baby daughter asleep in her bed.The sound had
scared her awake — never had a cry sounded so sweet — and my husband
gratefully snatched （抱起） her up and ran to the relative safety of our
room.
　　Then we ventured out.My husband started the car while I hurried
across the street to let a neighbour know we were okay and heading to a
friend’s home.Shaking but grateful to be alive， we drove away.
　　The next morning， bright sunlight clearly displayed the storm’s
destruction.We returned home to see that a giant tree in the center of our
yard had effectively split our house in two！
　　As we stood on the sidewalk wondering what to do， a local fire
truck pulled up.The firefighters informed us that our home had received
the worst damage in the city.When we meet neighbours for the first
time， their eyes pop when they realise we live in the house the tree fell
through.
　　In the days and weeks that followed， we remembered the feeling of
relief when we realised that everyone in our lives who mattered was
unscathed — me， my husband， our daughter and even our two pets.
　　Yes， we lost many things.But those things were replaceable and the
damage was temporary.
　　Every so often we pull out the photos of the tree’s destruction and
feel surprised at how blessed we were — and still are.Whenever we begin
to feel ungrateful or unsatisfied with what we have， those photos and
memories offer a reminder of how we came through that trial.

　　（2025·皖豫名校联考）As the United Nations COP27 climate
conference kicked off in Egypt， UN Secretary-General António Guterres
claimed that the world is on a “highway to climate hell with our foot still
on the accelerator （油门）”. To keep temperature from rising 1.5
degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels by 2100， we need to pump the
brakes on greenhouse gas emissions.In fact， we’d basically have to
bring the runaway truck to a complete and immediate stop.Now is the time
for us to pull back before it is too late.
　　The climate pledges （承诺） made by nations at COP26 conference
felt like a positive step in the right direction， but there’s very little
doubt that the average temperature rise on Earth will exceed the 1.5 degree
mark in the coming decades.Can we limit this overshoot？ And how might
we do that？
　　A study， released Thursday in the scientific journal Nature Climate
Change， tried to answer those questions by modeling 27 different
emissions reduction pathways of varying ambition.It came to an
unsurprising conclusion： Countries need to act by increasing the ambition
of their climate pledges.And they need to act now.
　　The 1.5 degree rise has long been seen as a critical mark in the fight
against climate change.Since the signing of the Paris Agreement at COP21
ten years ago， scientists have rigorously studied how this level of
warming above preindustrial temperatures would affect the Earth.The
models and simulations they’ve built show we are likely to see more
extreme weather events， in addition to glacial melt， sea level rise that
threatens many low-lying Pacific nations and significant loss of
biodiversity once temperatures push past an increase of 1.5 degrees.
　　Though the 1.5 degree target is practically dead， the situation isn’t
hopeless.Now more than ever， there’s reason to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions by setting more ambitious goals.However， ambition alone is
not enough.We also need action — investing in renewables and
technologies like carbon capture and rapidly transforming our energy
systems and infrastructure.

　　（2024·1月浙江卷）On September 7， 1991， the costliest
hailstorm （雹暴） in Canadian history hit Calgary’s southern
suburbs.As a result， since 1996 a group of insurance companies have
spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression
Project.Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make
small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous
hailstones.But farmers in east-central Alberta — downwind of the hail
project flights — worry that precious moisture （水分） is being stolen
from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.
　　Norman Stienwand， who farms in that area， has been addressing
public meetings on this issue for years.“Basically， the provincial
government is letting the insurance companies protect the Calgary-
Edmonton urban area from hail，” Mr.Stienwand says， “but they’re
increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”
　　The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss， a cloud
physicist who works for Weather Modification Inc.of Fargo， North
Dakota.“We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in
the air， so we cannot be causing drought，” Dr.Krauss says.“In
fact， we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating
wetter ground.”
　　One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell， a
research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma.“In
1999， I personally saw significant tornadoes （龙卷风） form from a
seeded storm cell in Kansas，” Dr.Doswell says.“Does cloud seeding
create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind？ No one really
knows， of course， but the seeding goes on.”
　　Given the degree of doubt， Mr.Stienwand suggests， “it would be
wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice， doubt has had the opposite
effect.Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts， no
one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding
companies.Hence， private climate engineering can proceed in relative
legal safety.

产生致命的风暴或减少下风处的水分。由此推断，Doswell博士提到
1999年的龙卷风是为了表明播云可能存在的风险。
12. What can we infer from the last paragraph？（　　）
A. Scientific studies have proved Stienwand right.
B. Private climate engineering is illegal in Canada.
C. The doubt about cloud seeding has disappeared.
D. Cloud-seeding companies will continue to exist.
