第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）
第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Picture introduction: The picture shows an outdoor storm avoidance scene. Several students are standing under a thick corridor with no outdoor exposure. One student is holding an emergency raincoat, and a warning board nearby reads: “No outdoor activities during thunderstorms”.
Summer thunderstorms are common sudden natural disasters for students. Many students lack safety awareness and choose to take shelter under trees or outdoor pavilions during thunderstorms, which is extremely dangerous. School safety lectures remind students that closed corridors and indoor rooms are the safest places to avoid thunderstorms.
In addition, we should never use electronic devices outdoors during thunderstorms. Waiting for the storm to stop in safe places can effectively avoid lightning strike risks. Mastering these simple rules can protect us from thunderstorm dangers in daily school life.

A. Students doing outdoor sports
B. Students avoiding thunderstorms safely
C. Students cleaning the corridor
2. Which place is safe for thunderstorm avoidance
A. Closed indoor corridors B. Isolated big trees C. Open outdoor pavilions
3. What are students advised not to do outdoors in thunderstorms
A. Wear raincoats B. Use electronic devices C. Wait quietly

Proper public manners are the basic quality of every teenager. Different countries have different public communication rules, but kindness and respect are always the shared core. In social activities, improper behavior may make others feel uncomfortable and cause communication barriers.
In most Western countries, queuing is a strict social rule. Whether in shopping malls, subway stations or scenic spots, people always wait in line voluntarily. Cutting in line is regarded as rude and selfish behavior, which will make others annoyed.
Besides, people keep their voices low in public areas. They avoid loud laughter and noisy talks in quiet places like libraries and exhibition halls. These polite behaviors help maintain good public order and create a comfortable communication environment.
Learning public manners of different countries helps us behave properly during cross-cultural exchanges and show the good manners of Chinese teenagers.

A. 习惯 B. 规则 C. 爱好

A. Waiting in line B. Cutting in line C. Keeping quiet
6. What do Westerners do in quiet public areas

A. Helping us behave well in cross-cultural exchanges
B. Changing our own living habits completely
C. Making us more popular at school
C
Sandstorms are special natural disasters that often hit northern and western China in spring. Strong wind blows large amounts of sand and dust into the air, making the sky gray and hazy. Sandstorms not only pollute the air seriously but also bring many hidden dangers to people’s outdoor activities.
When a sandstorm comes, the air quality becomes very poor. It is easy to cause respiratory diseases if people stay outdoors for a long time. Meanwhile, strong sand wind will reduce visibility greatly, which affects road traffic and easily causes traffic accidents.
There are many effective ways to protect ourselves from sandstorms. We should reduce outdoor activities as much as possible. If we have to go out, we need to wear masks and glasses to block dust. After going home, we should wash our faces and hands in time to keep clean.
8. When do sandstorms often happen in China
A. In spring B. In autumn C. In winter
9. What problem do sandstorms cause to the air
A. Fresh air B. Serious pollution C. Warm temperature

A. To prevent respiratory diseases B. To save time C. To avoid traffic jams
11. What should we wear when going out in sandstorms
A. Hats and gloves B. Masks and glasses C. Coats and shoes
D
Understanding cultural differences is necessary for modern teenagers. With the development of global communication, we have more chances to make foreign friends and take part in international activities.
First of all, time sense differs greatly between Chinese and Western cultures. Westerners value punctuality very much. Being late without reason is seen as impolite. However, Chinese people are more flexible with time in daily social situations.
In addition, attitude towards compliments is different. When praised, Westerners usually accept happily and say “thank you”. In traditional Chinese culture, people often refuse politely to show modesty.
Finally, we should treat these differences correctly. Cultural differences are not gaps. We should respect different cultures and keep our own cultural confidence at the same time.
12. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. The ways of making foreign friends
B. The importance of understanding cultural differences
C. The development of global communication
13. How many cultural differences are mentioned in the passage
A. One B. Two C. Three
14. What do Westerners do when others praise them
A. Refuse politely B. Accept happily C. Feel embarrassed

Dear Peter,
I’m glad to tell you some basic disaster self-rescue ways for students. It’s very important to master these skills to protect ourselves.
If an earthquake happens, we should keep calm and hide under strong desks first. When sandstorms come, we need to stay indoors and wear masks if we go out.
I hope all teenagers can learn more disaster prevention skills. Safety is always the most important thing in our life.
Yours,
Li Hua
