暴风雨后现繁星
1 说来也怪，但我真的不太记得那场飓风了。一切都发生得太快了。当时我正坐在自己的房间里，我的猫咪斯玛蒂卧在我的腿上，这时屋顶突然就飞走了。霎时间，屋顶变成了天空，我吓得整个人都呆住了。
2 妈妈大喊着让快点出去，但为时已晚。暴雨倾盆而下，道路瞬间变成了河流。我们无处可去。
3 一开始，我很庆幸我们能够待在家里，但很快情况就变得十分艰难。没有屋顶，待在屋内是很危险的。到处都是水，可我们一滴也不能喝，否则我们会染上重病。我们只有直升机送来的饮用水，但总是不够喝。当时正值8月，所以天气极度炎热，而且到处都特别难闻！我只能整天看着船只在街上来来往往，并留意寻找斯玛蒂。风暴来袭的那一刻，它就失踪了。
4 生活在露天环境里，我们变成了蚊子的一日三餐。但妈妈说，不管发生什么，我们都应总是努力看到事情好的一面。然而，(在这种情况下)保持乐观很难。我们失去了我们的家和家里面的一切，包括斯玛蒂。我们只剩下身上的衣服了。不过，正如妈妈不断提醒我们的那样，我们都还安全地待在一起。妈妈的话让我们感觉好受了一些。我记得我们都躺在午夜的苍穹之下，仰望星空。因为没有灯光，我们可以看到北斗七星、小北斗七星和银河。真是令人惊叹！虽然我们失去了很多，但那样的时刻给了我们对未来的希望。
5 虽然几天之后我们就得救了，但感觉就像是过了几个月。我们被带到远方县里的另一个镇上。值得庆幸的是，斯玛蒂及时回来了。我们很开心能够带着它一起，尽管当时我们都不知道要很久以后才能回来。
6 现在，一年已经过去了，我回到了新奥尔良的家中。有些家庭还未回来，不过也有很多已经返回。尽管周围的一切都提醒着我们这里曾发生的灾难，但我们正齐心协力，重建我们的家园和生活。现在，我们又有机会仰望新奥尔良的星星了，它们的美丽激励着我们，给我们继续前行的信心。

A
Maggie，a girl of thirteen years old，lived on the west coast of the United States.She had never experienced an earthquake before；she only prepared for it.As long as she could remember，preparing for an earthquake was common at her school.Her family had made plans as well in case of a natural disaster.
One day，Maggie arrived home from school at the usual time.However，it was not the same as usual.She was at home alone.Her mom would be driving home on the busy freeway and her dad was to arrive at the airport.He was coming home from a two-week business trip.
After finishing her homework，Maggie felt a little hungry，so she went to the kitchen to find something to eat.Just then she felt a shake，then the violent shaking.Maggie quickly ran under the large table in the dining room.The sounds of breaking glass and the crashing of many things were deafening，and Maggie hugged herself in fear.
After what seemed like a very long time，the earthquake appeared to be over.Maggie could hear the sound of water rushing below her in the basement.And there was the smell of natural gas in the air.Maggie knew where the main water valve(阀门) was and how to turn it off.Dad had ever shown her before.
Slowly and carefully she came out from under the table.The once tidy home was then almost unrecognizable.Walls had fallen down and many things in the room were in a mess.As Maggie approached the open basement door，she could see the steps.Carefully she made her way down into the dark basement.
While placing her feet firmly on the floor，Maggie felt a sudden pain as a large wood hit her head and shoulder.She fell unconscious onto a pile of boxes.An hour later，she woke up and found her parents beside her.She was happy that she was still alive!
[解题导语]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过讲述一个13岁女孩Maggie在地震中的经历，展示了她应对和处理突发情况的能力。
1.What can we infer from the first paragraph
A.Earthquakes are the main natural disasters in the US.
B.Maggie's parents taught her how to survive in an earthquake.
C.Earthquakes occur often in the west of the US.
D.Maggie has some self-help knowledge in earthquakes.
解析　D　推理判断题。由第一段中“As long as she could...in case of a natural disaster.”可推知，Maggie有在地震中自救的知识。故选D。
2.What does the underlined word “deafening” in paragraph 3 mean
A.Very loud. B.Quite familiar.
C.Very distant. D.Quite strange.
解析　A　词义猜测题。根据第三段中“Maggie hugged herself in fear”可知，玻璃破碎的声音和许多东西的碰撞声让Maggie感到很害怕，画线词deafening用来描述声音，故可猜测deafening意为“非常大声的，震耳欲聋的”。故选A。
3.What can we know about Maggie
A.She was the only child in her family.
B.She was not afraid at all during the earthquake.
C.She was hurt on the way to turning off the water valve.
D.She had experienced an earthquake before.
解析　C　细节理解题。由第四段的“Maggie knew where the main water valve was and how to turn it off.”和最后一段第一句可知，Maggie在去关水阀的路上被木头砸伤了。故选C。
4.What does the passage mainly talk about
A.A story of a girl in an earthquake.
B.The importance of preparing for an earthquake.
C.The ways to escape from an earthquake.
D.The danger of an earthquake.
解析　A　主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文讲述了一个居住在美国西海岸的13岁小女孩Maggie独自在家中时遭遇地震的经历。故选A。

For decades，climate scientists have named hurricanes and ranked them according to the damage.“Naming and categorizing (把……归类) heat waves is also a must，” states a newly formed international union，called the Extreme Heat Resilience Alliance.“Hurricanes get attention because they cause obvious physical damage，” says Jennifer Marlon，a climate scientist at Yale University.Heat waves，however，have less evident effects，since the primary damage is to human health.
Heat waves kill more people in the United States than any other weather-related disaster.Data from the National Weather Service show that from 1986 to 2019，there were 4，257 deaths as a result of heat.By comparison，there were fewer deaths by floods (2，907)，tornadoes (2，203) or hurricanes (1，405) over the same period.What's more，climate change is increasing the possibility of high temperature events worldwide，getting tens of thousands of people dying each year because of heat.
Some populations are particularly easily harmed by high heat，including people over 65 and those with potential medical conditions.Historical racial discrimination also puts minority communities at higher risk.Due to housing policies，they are more likely to live in urban areas，heat islands which lack green spaces that help cool down neighborhoods.
Part of the naming and ranking process will include defining exactly what a heat wave is.No single definition currently exists.Without a universally accepted definition of a heat wave，“We don't have a common understanding of the danger we face，” says Aaron Bernstein，an expert of the new group.“Defined categories for heat waves could help local officials better prepare to deal with potential health problems in the face of rising temperatures.And naming and categorizing heat waves could increase public awareness of the health risks caused by these silent killers.”
The union is having conversations with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration，the World Meteorological Organization and other institutions to develop a standard naming and ranking practice.
[解题导语]　本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了有关组织和科学家表示热浪应该像飓风一样被命名，并介绍了热浪所带来的危害以及对热浪进行命名和分类会带来的好处。
5.What do we know about the heat wave in America
A.It causes most serious physical damage.
B.It has got more attention in recent years.
C.It kills more people than other natural disasters.
D.It is the biggest killer among weather-related disasters.
解析　D　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Heat waves kill more people in the United States than any other weather-related disaster.”可知，在美国，热浪是与天气有关的灾害中最大的杀手。
6.Why are minority populations easily harmed by heat waves
A.They live in poorly-built houses.
B.They lack good medical resources.
C.They have less access to green spaces.
D.They are limited in their movements.
解析　C　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Historical racial discrimination also...cool down neighborhoods.”可知，少数族群容易受到热浪的伤害是因为他们缺乏有助于降温的绿色空间。
7.What is the author's attitude towards the expert mentioned in paragraph 4
A.Supportive.
B.Negative.
C.Conservative (保守的).
D.Objective.
解析　A　观点态度题。根据第四段内容可知，作者认为应该对热浪进行命名和排名，所以对专家的态度是支持的。
8.What does the passage intend to tell us about heat waves
A.They also kill lives like hurricanes.
B.They should have names like hurricanes.
C.Climate change is affecting them greatly.
D.Measures should be taken to prevent them.
解析　B　写作意图题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段第二句可知，文章说明了有组织和科学家表示热浪应该像飓风一样被命名以及热浪所带来的危害和对热浪进行命名和分类会带来的好处。因此，这篇文章想告诉我们热浪应该像飓风一样有名字。

[解题导语]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了飓风过后，作者及其朋友给无家可归的孩子们送去温暖的故事。文章告诉我们，任何小小的善举都会对社会产生巨大的影响。
1.A.creatively B.lazily
C.merrily D.heavily

2.A.looked out B.set out
C.pulled off D.got off

3.A.warned B.informed
