helped people move to safe places.They also saved people from cars and buses that were stuck on roads.Certain areas around Houston were hit really hard.In just hours, more than seven inches of rain fell in Sugar Land in the southwest of Houston.Cars could not pass through any of the area's main roadways.On the Internet, Sugar Land city officials asked people to get to high ground.Tuesday's rain hit parts of Texas that Hurricane Harvey had already damaged almost two years ago.Hurricane Harvey in August, 2017 was the second most costly hurricane in US history.It caused $ 125 billion worth of damage in Texas.In the Houston area, 36 people died and about 150,000 homes were flooded.A spokesman for the Harris County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management said that this week's rain “is not in any way a Harvey-level event”.But the worst may not be over yet.People will have a break from the heavy rain on Wednesday.According to the National Weather Service, the Texas Gulf Coast will continue to experience heavy rain later in the week.“Today should be our quietest over the next few days for rainfall,” said Don Oettinger, a National Weather Service meteorologist(气象学家).Houston Fire Chief Samuel Peia warned, “As there is too much water on the ground and flash floods are likely to happen, we hope people are careful of what they're doing and encourage them to stay home.There's no sense in putting yourself, firefighters or anybody in danger needlessly.”4.What are paragraphs 1 and 2 mainly about A.Climate change in Houston.B.Flood prevention in Houston.C.Heavy floods hitting Houston.D.People fighting floods in Houston.5.What do we know about Hurricane Harvey A.It caused no deaths or injuries.B.It was less serious than this

a little non-stop.C.A hurricane is unavoidable.D.Floods will continue.7.What did Samuel suggest local people do A.Stay indoors.B.Give up needless things.C.Join firefighters.D.Comfort those who lost homes.CEarthquake rescue robots have experienced their final tests in Beijing.Their designers say that with these robots, rescue workers will be able to have more time to save more lives during an earthquake.This robot looking like a helicopter(直升机), is called the detector-bot.It's about 4 meters long, and it took about 4 years to develop the model.Its main functions(作用) are to collect information from the air, and send goods of up to 30 kilos, to people stuck in an earthquake.This robot has a high quality 360 degree panoramic camera.It can work day and night and will also be able to send the latest pictures from the quake area.Dr Qi Juntong, Chinese Academy of Science, said, “Unlike other automatic machines, the most important feature of this robot is that it doesn't need a distant control.We just set the information of the earthquake-struck area on it, and then it takes off, and lands by itself.It flies as high as 3, 000 meters, and as fast as 100 kilometers per hour.”This robot has a different function—it can change as the environment changes.Its main job is to search for any signs of life in places where human rescuers are unable to go.As well as a detector(探测器) that finds victims(遇难者) and detects poisonous gas, a camera is placed in the 40 centimeters long robot, which can work in the dark.Another use for the rescuers is the supply bot, with its 10-meter-long pipe.People who are caught in the ruins will be able to get supplies including oxygen and liquids.Experts have said that the robots will enter production, and serve as part of the national earthquake rescue team as soon as next year.8.Which of the following statements about the robot is TRUE according to the passage A.It hasn't been put into production so far.B.It is a machine with a length of 10 meters.C.It is a machine carried by a helicopter.D.It weighs about 30 kilos.9.Dr Qi Juntong thinks this robot is different from others mainly because .A.it has more functionsB.it has a more advanced cameraC.it can change as the environment changesD.it can work by itself once given the information10.The underlined word “which” in paragraph 5 refers to .A.a camera B.a detectorC.a rescuer D.a doctor11.What is the passage mainly about A.The appearance of the robot.B.An introduction to the robot.C.The reason for making the robot.D.Some information about earthquakes.DThe worsening air quality in tropical cities is causing ever greater threats to people's health and this trend will only get worse as the urbanization is progressing quickly, scientists have warned.In a newly published study, a team of researchers explain that across all the 46 cities they surveyed from Africa to Asia, they have measured significant annual increases in pollutants harmful to health.This trend is troubling as tropical cities usually lack proper air pollution monitoring measures and policies to deal with the problem.“These cities are predicted to reach populations of up to 80 million people by 2100, so actions targeting human-related pollution are badly needed,” the scientists stress.Already the number of people dying prematurely(过早地) from long exposure to air pollution has been on the increase and people living in cities in South Asia are the worst affected.In Dhaka, Bangladesh, some 24,000 people die of such causes each year while around 100, 000 people die in Indian cities such as Mumbai, Bangalore etc.“The number of deaths in tropical cities in Africa is still lower due to recent improvements in health care there.But the worst effects of air pollution on health will likely occur in the coming decades,” the scientists say.The reasons for worsening air quality in tropical cities lie in increasing road traffic, waste burning, and the widespread use of coal and wood.Industry is also partly to blame.“Open burning for land clearance in the past contributed most to air pollution in the tropics,” explains Karn Vohra, an author of the study.“Our analysis suggests we're entering a new age when some cities experience rates of air pollution in a year that others experience in a decade,” Vohra warns.12.What is the function of the numbers mentioned in paragraph 3 A.To show the negative effect of urbanization.B.To warn people to limit their time of going out.C.To remind people to pay attention to their health.D.To display the seriousness of air pollution in some tropical cities.13.What helps the tropical cities in Africa maintain a lower death rate A.The fast-paced urbanization.B.The improvements in health care.C.The proper policies dealing with air pollution.D.The effective air pollution monitoring measures.14.What does the underlined word “blame” in the last paragraph mean A.Take responsibility.B.Get affected.C.Break down.D.Check out.15.Which is the most suitable title for the text A.Air Pollution Is Fast Getting Worse in Tropical CitiesB.The Growing Population Is Speeding Up Air PollutionC.Human Activities Lead to Air Pollution in Tropical CitiesD.It's of Great Importance to Increase the Use of Green Energy第二节阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。I work as a meteorologist(气象学家) in Tampa, Florida.It's my job to follow hurricanes(飓风) and provide information about them to scientists.I was working for the National Meteorological Office in Bracknell, near London, in the autumn of 1995, and I saw a documentary called Stormchasers with my family. 16 Two months later I came across an ad for a meteorologist to work in Florida.I was interviewed over the phone, moved to the US, and started to work here in Tampa in May 1996.17 I have been all over the world hunting hurricanes.It's exciting to end up in different cities and different countries day after day.If you are a meteorologist, you have to love flying.I also love working with top scientists. 18 For me, it's like a classroom in the sky.People often ask me what an average day is like.In fact, there's no such thing as an average day in my job! 19 We often take off at a moment's notice to hunt storms.Next, I would like to join a space program and be the first meteorologist in space. 20 There aren't any hurricanes!If you also

time.After what seemed a century, someone responded.Four bystanders had spotted our car and were wading through the mud to us.We showed great excitement.Once they arrived, two of them helped Gabe shimmy up the hill.Because of my injured foot, the other two had to carry me.Sinking into the mud made it even tougher.With the help of them, we finally reached the highway at around 8:00 p.m.Gabe was in shock.He kept slipping in and out of consciousness.They kept shocking him to keep him awake so he wouldn't slip into a coma.When the medical helicopter finally came and airlifted us to the nearest hospital, they left without a word.The experience bounded us as a couple and made us even more positive to life.And the kindness of the strangers will always remain in our hearts.第一部分 第一节【语篇解读】
