语篇填空考点押题之自然灾害防御篇
A
In America, in 1988, Samuel, who was one of the local 1 (resident), sent his son, Armand, to school. Samuel hugged the boy gently. 2 (look) the boy in the eye, Samuel said, “Have a good day, and remember, I’ll always be there for you if necessary.”
Hours later, so horrible 3 earthquake happened. Samuel tried to discover what had happened to his son, but he couldn’t get any information. Samuel as well as other parents instantly headed for the schoolyard. When he reached the area, all that he saw brought tears to his eyes. With the school 4 (destroy) completely, it was a pile of debris (碎片) then. Having found the location 5 Armand’s classroom used to stay, Samuel began pulling a broken rock off the pile and put it to the side, and then grabbed another one.
One of the parents standing nearby asked, “What are you doing ” “Digging for my son. Broken stones and bricks 6 (remove) by me now,” Samuel answered. The man then said, “You will make things worse! The building is so unstable as to fall down at any time.”
He tried to stop Samuel. 7 spite of that, Samuel just kept working. As time went on, one by one, the other parents left. Samuel was the only parent who was staying there.
All through the night and into the next day, Samuel continued digging. Suddenly, he heard a weak cry, “Help! Help!” Samuel listened but didn’t hear anything again. Then he heard a muffled (沉闷的) voice, “Papa ”
Samuel began to dig crazily. At last, to his great 8 (satisfy), he could see his son. “Come on out, son! I am 9 (eager) searching for you,” he said excitedly. “No,” Armand said. “Let the other kids with whom I am staying get out first because I know you’ll get me.” Samuel could make out what his son had said.
After all the fourteen children had survived the disaster, they were all quite 10 (gratitude) to Samuel for rescuing them.

On May 13th, an earthquake 11 (strike) Fukushima, Japan. At 10:37 local time, a 4.5-magnitude earthquake hit 12 central part of Fukushima Prefecture. The epicenter was 80 kilometers deep underground, 13 (make) the tremors felt across a wide area.
In towns near the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, the seismic intensity reached 3. This level of shaking 14 (cause) some minor damage to old buildings. The earthquake 15 (feel) in surrounding regions, too. Although it didn’t trigger 16 tsunami, local residents were worried and rushed out of their homes, 17 (fear) aftershocks.
After the earthquake, local authorities took actions. The Japan Meteorological Agency monitored the situation and provided information. Rescue teams 18 (send) to check for damage. Power companies inspected power lines. Scientists began to study the earthquake data 19 (predict) future seismic activities. The response showed 20 importance of preparedness in dealing with natural disasters.

In Jiangsu, 21 (many) areas have suffered from drought recently. The lack of rainfall 22 (affect) agriculture and people's lives greatly. 23 (solve) this problem, the local government decided to carry out artificial rainfall operations.
Weather experts used advanced equipment 24 (observe) the clouds. When they found suitable conditions, they launched special chemicals into the clouds. These chemicals helped water vapor 25 (condense) into raindrops.
Thanks to these 26 (effort), many drought - stricken areas got the rain they needed. The rainfall increased soil moisture, 27 was beneficial to crops. Also, the water levels in some rivers and lakes rose, 28 (ensure) the normal water supply. This successful artificial rainfall showed 29 important role science and technology play 30 dealing with natural disasters.

On December 30, 2021, a fast-moving wildfire in Superior, Colorado, 31 (destroy)Melanie Glover’s home and nearly 1,000 others. The pain of losing everything was great, but Glover was determined to rebuild 32 (use)earth blocks — a material used for thousands of years.
Earthen construction, with a rich history in regions like northern China, has long provided fire-resistant, temperature-regulating homes, 33 (evidence)by China’s ancient underground cave homes and mud-brick houses with natural materials. Due to modern construction methods, earthen homes have become 34 (popular)in the US. However, early research suggests that earth blocks consistently survive fire and can harden under heat. For instance, in 2020, 35 the Bobcat Fire struck California, Stevie Love’s earth home remained untouched while the 36 (surround)land burned.
Despite 37 (view)as a sustainable solution by homeowners like Glover, who combine traditional Chinese techniques with modern fire-resistance needs, building with earth remains 38 challenge due to its labor-intensive process and limited familiarity in mainstream construction. Glover’s rebuilding project required careful management, highlighting the broader challenges in promoting sustainable 39 (alternative).
Earthen architecture, which bridges ancient wisdom with modern crises, draws on China’s Neolithic(新石器時代)innovations 40 , through its rebirth, effortlessly integrates traditional knowledge with sustainable strategies to address the pressing environmental challenges of today.

There is little doubt that Earth is getting warmer and warmer. In 2013, many people 41 (shock) by a news photo of a dead polar bear which appeared to have starved and died. Experts claimed that low sea ice levels 42 (cause) by climate change meant the bear could not hunt seals as before, so it had to travel greater distance 43 (find) food. Then what is causing the increase in the global average surface temperature Climate scientists often mention a key climate process called the “greenhouse effect”, 44 has two common meanings: the “natural” greenhouse effect and the “man made” greenhouse effect. The “man made” greenhouse effect has now become 45 big problem. There is strong and comprehensive evidence 46 the rise in temperature has led 47 an increase in extreme weather and natural disasters worldwide. In fact, news reports are 48 (frequent) broadcast about extreme rainstorms and heatwaves causing deaths and economic losses. Continued greenhouse gas emissions will result in further warming and long -lasting changes to the global climate. This requires the attention of people all over the world. We as individuals can reduce our “carbon footprint” by 49 (restrict) the amount of carbon dioxide our lifestyles produce. It is our responsibility 50 (seize) every opportunity to educate everyone about global warming.

Experts believe that earthquakes may become more intense and closer together as a result of climate change. The melting (融化) of glaciers 51 (speed) up due to global warming. The land 52 was beneath the melted glacier water rises when it runs off land and into the sea.
Among the most terrible of all natural disasters 53 (be) earthquakes. While experts can prepare when the major ones will strike, smaller ones can strike 54 (seeming) at any time, destroying entire cities and causing smaller disasters like fires, landslides and tsunamis (海啸).
An upcoming rise in sea level along with glacier melt may make future earthquakes more frequent, according to John Cassidy, 55 earthquake seismologist. The risk of earthquakes 56 (cause) by glacial retreat (退缩) is less than that of what may be associated with rising sea levels. An increase in sea level results in an increase in underwater pressure on the seabed and therefore on the fault lines near the shore.
According to researchers, many earthquakes 57 are anticipated soon close to San Francisco and Los Angeles still have late earthquake cycles. Consequently, the geological clock can 58 (move) faster with slightly higher temperatures. It could cause earthquakes in several regions. The stop in sea level rise could take up to a thousand years, even in the event that we immediately stopped using greenhouse gases.
Cassidy is unsure if, at least during our lifetimes, the sea level rise would result in a 59 (significance) enough change in pressure to precipitate these massive earthquakes. Cassidy underlined that the effects of climate change will increase their risk when they occur. As sea level rises, earthquake-caused tsunamis will extend farther inland. Increased rainfall brought on by warmer waters will enhance the likelihood of landslides caused by earthquakes. As any vibration (震动) in wet ground is far more intensified than in dry ground, rainfall will likewise highlight earthquake shaking. “It’s an important topic, 60 that I’m sure we’ll see a lot of information coming out on in the coming months and years,” Cassidy said.

Floods are common and 61 (frequent) destructive natural events that annually affect around 250 million people worldwide. Though the causes of floods — usually heavy rainfall or melting snow — are 62 (avoidable), knowledge of the correct procedures before, during and after a flood can make a difference.
Before a flood occurs, we must work 63 (reduce) the risk to people and their valuables. Firstly, you should prepare disaster supplies 64 melded a light source, sleeping bags, warm clothes, and most importantly, at least three days of food and drinking water. Secondly, you should bring the most important objects to the 65 (up) levels of your house.
During a flood, it’s important to leave 66 you are immediately. The longer you stay, the more danger you’ll be in. Be sure to move to 67 (high) ground. If you’re already inside a building, move to the upper floor. Don’t walk 68 drive through the moving floodwater, since as little as 15 centimetres of moving water is enough to knock an adult down. and 60 centimetres can wash most cars away.
69 a flood, listen for official news reports to find out when it’s safe to return to your home. As you return home, watch out for possible dangers. The flood may have damaged roads and power lines. Keep away from the floodwater, because it may 70 (pollute) and unsafe to touch.

A natural disaster is a major 71 (harm) event resulting from natural process of the Earth. Earthquakes, typhoons, floods, hurricanes and other extreme climates have led 72 a lot of deaths around the world. On the one hand, natural disasters always bring great sadness to people, but on the other hand, natural disasters make people fully aware of the mistakes of themselves and begin to rethink 73 they have done.
Take the typhoon which hit Japan as an example. This Super Typhoon visited Japan, causing plenty of deaths, more than 600 injuries and losses worth countless dollars. Bridges and roads 74 (wash) away, and houses and buildings were damaged, leaving many people homeless. Although the government of Japan had taken some measures, the typhoon did bring much trouble to people there.
As students, what can we do to prevent natural disasters 75 (happen) and reduce the loss to the minimum First of all, measures must be taken to raise the public’s environmental awareness. We can hand out booklets specially 76 (design) for the public or hold photo exhibitions of natural disasters. Secondly, in view of our 77 (limit) knowledge, it’s very practical and helpful to have more knowledge about natural disasters. 78 (have) some basic first-aid knowledge and survival skills, which will be 79 (benefit) to us all, is also essential. Last but not least, we hope the government should pay more attention to forecasting technology. I am convinced that if everyone does his best, we can live in harmony 80 nature.

I didn’t sleep well for several days, worrying about the wildfires in several parts of Chongqing, my hometown. Like most people from Chongqing, I felt I must help stop the fires spreading, especially after I smelt heavy smoke in my house 81 the evening of Aug. 21. The smoke was believed to be from a wildfire 82 broke out in nearby Banan area in the afternoon that day. That night, a large fire 83 (appear) in the mountains in Beibei area, 40 kilometers from my home.
Clearly, the powerful fire was getting very close. Although forest firefighting forces from three provinces arrived, our government needed 84 (much) help from the public. And volunteers 85 (call) on to go to different fire sites around the city.
Many people 86 (glad) went to offer help. Many gave away all kinds of things needed for the fight against wildfires. They took them to collection points, without 87 (give) their names. 88 (hundred) of people with skills and experience signed up as volunteers.
I asked myself 89 I could do. I am a middle-aged woman without much strength. I cannot ride a motorcycle, and do not have any medical skills. I decided to do everything I could 90 (help) the hard-working volunteers, which included taking them cold fruit tea.

Residents in village in Aba county, living near 91 origin of the Yellow River, used to suffer a lot during the rainy season. When the stream rose with heavy rain, water would often wash away its earthen banks, 92 (cause) many large gaps. The village would quickly be covered with water, making 93 hard for residents to take livestock to the market.
However, that situation 94 (become) a thing of the past since a 5-kilometer wall was built in 2010. 95 made the wall special, however, was that it was built without the use of concrete. Tsetan, a local farmer, said he was extremely relieved 96 (get) rid of the damage caused by flooding. The wall, 97 (construct) with local materials, reflects the architectural style of the region and traditional techniques. It fits so 98 (elegant) within the village landscape that visitors can hardly notice where the wall is.
As the country highlights ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin, the “ecological wall” built in Pema stands 99 an example of a series of environmentally friendly 100 (approach) local governments have used to help conserve the mother river of the Chinese nation.
