Using 1900 as a starting point, here's a look at some of the most powerful and destructive hurricanes in more than 100 years in the US.
Most powerful hurricanes
Hurricane Camille，which landed on August 17，1969 near Waveland，Mississippi，is the most powerful storm to strike the Gulf Coast.Camille is one of the four category(级别) 5 hurricanes ever to make a landing in the US，the others being the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane，Hurricane Andrew in 1992 and Hurricane Michael in 2018.
According to the National Weather Service，the actual wind speed of Hurricane Camille might be around 175 mph along the coast.
Until the arrival of Hurricane Katrina，Camille's more than 24-foot storm wave in Pass Christian，Mississippi，held the record.Katrina's storm wave along the Mississippi coast reached 30 feet.
Costliest hurricanes
Hurricane Katrina is not only the costliest-ever US hurricane but also the most expensive natural disaster in the country's history.Not only did it cost as many as 1，836 lives and leave millions of people homeless，but it also caused $160 billion in damage.
Katrina landed near the Gulf Coast on August 29，2005 as a category-3 storm. The hurricane's record-breaking waves flooded 80% of the city.
Deadliest hurricanes
The category-4 Hurricane Galveston made a surprising landing along the Texas coast on September 8，1900.It caused a 16 foot storm wave and its wind speed reached 150 mph.
A large part of the city of Galveston，Texas，was left in ruins.The number of death reached 12，000 on Galveston Island and the mainland.It remains the deadliest weather disaster in the US history as it gave the people no time to move out.

A young girl was rescued from the ruins of an apartment block in the southern Turkish city of Adiyaman, 178 hours after a terrible earthquake shook the area. The girl was six years old and rescuers were also close to reaching her older sister. It's one of several amazing rescues that are still taking place following an earthquake that killed tens of thousands of people in Turkey and Syria.
Rescuer Aksoy told reporters he was searching through the ruins of the building when he heard a child's shout. He then asked for silence and later found where the girl was. The girl waved at him, told him her name and said that she was okay, Aksoy said.
One member of the rescuers said, “My colleague and I looked at each other as if to say ‘Did you hear that, too？’ We listened again. There was a very weak voice saying something like ‘I'm here.’ Then we shut everything down, including the machines, and started listening again. And there really was a voice coming from a small space next to a dishwasher.”
Health Ministry officials said the girl was in good condition but would be kept under observation. A 13-year-old boy was also rescued after being trapped for 182 hours. Footage from a news agency shows the teenager being rescued from a collapsed building in the southern Turkish province of Hatay. He held his rescuer's hand as he was put on a stretcher and taken to an ambulance.
UN aid deputy Martin Griffiths said during a visit to the disaster area in Syria that the rescue phase was “coming to an end”， with assistance next turning to shelter, food and clothing.

Massive flooding in America's Yellowstone National Park caused widespread damage and resulted in many changes. The recent floodwaters changed the path of a river popular for fishing. It also devastated homes, bridges and roadways.
Yellowstone became America's first national park in 1872. It is known for its natural beauty that includes mountains, rivers and lakes. The forces of fire and ice have shaped the park for thousands of years. It is a place where visitors can get close to different kinds of wildlife.
Flooding caused by heavy rains and melting mountain snow did cause a lot of damage. It drove more than 10, 000 visitors out of the park. The rain also damaged hundreds of homes in nearby communities. Luckily, no one was reported hurt. However, the park could remain closed for up to one week. Some entrances might not open all summer. The water also washed away camp structures, flooded small towns and cut power to parts of southern Montana and northern Wyoming. The event happened as the park was beginning its busy summer season and received millions of summer visitors.
The Yellowstone River was running at a historically high level of 4.9 meters as it flowed past Billings, Montana's largest city. The city got its water from the river and was forced to close its treatment plant (工厂) because it couldn't operate effectively with water levels that high. Billings officials said the city only had a 24 hour supply of water. They were asking people to protect water until the river could drop and the plant could restart operations. “None of us planned a 500 year flood event on the Yellowstone when we designed the equipment, ” said Debi Meling, the city's director of public works.
Yellowstone officials said, “The northern half of the park is likely to remain closed over the summer. This will greatly affect local economies that depend on summer tourists. But we have faith in the park repairs and economic recovery. ”

No matter where you live in the world, natural disasters are always a threat. Of course, we humans take steps, both at an individual and social level, to prepare ourselves for the possibility of natural disasters. But preparing for these events requires understanding the types of natural disasters, what causes them, and the dangers they cause.
A technical term for a period of very cold weather, a cold wave is a type of natural disaster where the temperature drops rapidly over the course of 24 hours. While cold weather in itself isn't necessarily enough to cause a natural disaster, a rapid dropping of the temperature could lead to lots of problems for communities in a region.
Interestingly, there isn't an precise temperature threshold (起点) that must be reached. Rather, cold waves are classified (分类) by how fast the temperature falls. Since what's considered to be “cold” varies widely from region to region, local weather services will use local weather averages to determine if a weather event is actually a cold wave.
There are many reasons why a cold wave might occur. One of the most common causes of a cold wave is the arrival of a very strong high pressure system from the polar regions. Alternatively, movement in the jet streams can also drive very cold weather southward in just a matter of hours.
The primary danger of a cold wave is, indeed, the cold weather itself. This can lead to a higher risk of hypothermia (低温症) and other cold related injuries. Additionally, cold weather can cause ice and frost to build up quickly, damaging basic facilities. Cold waves are also particularly dangerous for aircraft and other machinery. Extreme cold can use up vehicle batteries or cause petrol to come together. So, whenever in extreme cold weather, people need to be careful.
【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了可能会给人类生命和财产带来危害的一种自然灾害——寒潮。
32．Why do people need to understand natural disasters

解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Of course, we humans take steps...and the dangers they cause.”可知，了解自然灾害的类型、成因以及造成的危害有利于我们为自然灾害的发生做准备。
√
33．How can we define a cold wave
A．By an exact temperature.
B．By classified temperature.
C．By local climate standards.
D．By the fallen temperature in summer.
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Since what's considered to be...is actually a cold wave.”可知， 当地气象机构依据该地气候标准来确定某天气事件是不是寒潮。
√
34．Which of the following contributes most to the cold wave
A．Sudden big wind.
B．Heavy snow.
C．Rapidly rising temperature.

Natural disasters may claim thousands of lives or destroy millions of homes. What can we learn from disasters
Sometimes, there are no real answers. Everyone has lost something and someone, and they keep on asking what they have done to deserve this cruel fate. It's okay to hold on to these questions, but no matter how hard and painful it is, you should keep moving, breathing and living. 36.____________________________
A．You'll find your way someday.
Even strangers can teach you kindness. There may be millions of selfish people in the world. 37.________________________________ ___________There is still kindness out there, waiting to be discovered. You will find it everywhere, at the most unexpected places—even among the wastelands left by the disaster.

Not everyone will have a happy ending or an interesting plot, but we can always decide how to write the ending.
E．You shouldn't be a victim forever—be a survivor.
Every day of your life should be spent loving and living. Don't be angry at the world for letting you live an unbearable life of heartbreaks and frustrations. 40.________________________________

imperfections.

related
possibly
56．causing　解析：考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，句中已经有谓语shook，空处应用现在分词作状语，表示自然而然的结果。
57．lives　解析：考查名词复数。根据thousands of 可知，空处名词应用复数形式。
58．had occurred　解析：考查动词的时态。根据时间状语before this deadly event，结合这次地震发生的时间为1861年可知，句子描述过去的过去，应用过去完成时。
59．is called　解析：考查动词的时态、语态以及主谓一致。句子描述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时；主语和动词call之间是被动关系，应用被动语态；又因主语是单数，be动词用is。
60．of　解析：考查介词。because of是固定搭配，意为“因为”，是介词短语，后面接名词，代词或动名词。
61．To figure　解析：考查非谓语动词。根据句意并分析句子结构可知，空处是动词不定式作状语，表示目的，空处位于句首，首字母应大写。
62．or　解析：考查固定搭配。“either...or...”意为“或者……或者……”，是固定搭配。
63．that　解析：考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导限制性定语从句，先行词为earthquakes，指物，在定语从句中作主语，且先行词前由all来修饰，只能用关系代词that来引导定语从句。
64．related　解析：考查形容词。分析句子结构可知，空处作表语，表示“相关联的”，应用形容词related。
65．possibly　解析：考查副词。空处修饰动词predict，应用副词possibly。

第二节(满分25 分)
阅读下面的材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I worked as a nurse, I was on day duty while my workmates were on night duty. On one shift, I sensed something just before going off duty at 11 a．m. I put down the tray (托盘) on the table and suddenly it fell off the table. At first I thought I had accidentally knocked it over, but then I felt the whole building shaking and heard patients screaming.
I realized that an earthquake was happening. I quickly caught hold of a nearby patient, who was terribly frightened, and pushed her under a bed. And then, I got under another bed myself. As soon as the earthquake stopped, I decided to try and get the patient safely outside. I carried her out and helped her down to the grassland, where several other people had gathered.
Afraid that my other workmates were in danger, I went back inside the building again. When I met Lucy, our ward sister (病房护士长), I found her patient couldn't walk. We made a seat for the patient by linking our hands and arms, and carried her outside together. We went back to the building to check no one was left behind in our wards.
Just then, we saw that a male doctor was calling for volunteers to go to other wards with him to help more people, so we went together. The doctor went ahead of us and found one of the nurses partially covered with rubble(碎石)，luckily still alive.Suddenly, the aftershock struck and the doctor ordered us to leave. He intended to stay alone and risk his own life to save the nurse.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
However, without hesitation, we made up our minds to stay with the doctor and save the nurse together.___________________________

Later in the afternoon, I had time to look around and saw the destroyed buildings.____________________________________________

One possible version：
However, without hesitation, we made up our minds to stay with the doctor and save the nurse together.The doctor encouraged the trapped nurse to stay calm, and in the meanwhile, we focused our efforts on removing the rubble that trapped her body. Although faced with falling rubble from time to time, we continued. Gradually and slowly, we lifted the nurse out of the rubble. The doctor put the nurse on his back and ran out of the building with the assistance of us.Finally, all, including patients, nurses and doctors, were in the safe place.
Later in the afternoon, I had time to look around and saw the destroyed buildings. My beautiful workplace changed beyond recognition, even some in ruins. At the sight of this, my heart sank. Suddenly, the gentle wind danced around me, which made me think of all the people surviving the earthquake with our help. It was our teamwork that made a difference. I held the firm belief that some day in the future my workplace would be rebuilt and take on a new look, where we would continue working together to save more patients.
