and sliding towards the centre of the room.I twisted my body and grabbed at the windowsill behind me,somehow kicking free of my dancing chair.I tried to stand.My legs skated away as if on a bucking escalator.My fingers shook,grasped and held the windowsill tightly.Somewhere through the roar sounded the terrified scream of some wounded animal.I looked behind me and tried to steady my gaze on the other kids but the scene was a dizzy nightmare.Some of the class were sitting in the middle of the room,surrounded by chairs and desks.One girl was screaming.A boy was trying to claw his way across the floor to the door in a crazy overarm crawl.My grip froze me to the windowsill.I cried aloud,“Im going to die.Im going to die.Save me.Im not ready to die.Im not ready!”I hunched forward on my knees and pressed my face against my clenched(紧握的) fingers.I looked at the backs of my fingers and stupidly noticed the fragile pale hairs growing out of the pores.The fingers would soon cease to exist.Somehow the impending horror of my death was too terrible to even cry about.Suddenly,I became aware that the rocking had ceased.Perhaps I wasnt going to die.28.The roaring sound was made by .A.a wounded animalB.people screamingC.children runningD.an earthquake答案:D解析细节理解题。根据文章,作者在文章中谈到的现象,还有一些响声都是来描述地震的。29.When the narrator clenched his fingers he was .A.afraidB.angryC.injuredD.impatient答案:A解析细节理解题。从文章中我们得知当描述者握紧手指时他非常害怕。30.Paragraph 2 describes the .A.injuries suffered by the narratorB.effects of a bad nightmareC.disorder in the classroomD.narrators fear of death答案:C解析细节理解题。从文章第二段中所提到的孩子、桌子、椅子、屋子等均可说明这地方是教室,而此时教室内一片狼藉。31.At the end of the passage there is a feeling of .A.panicB.hopeC.sorrowD.excitement答案:B解析推理判断题。从文章最后一句“Perhaps I wasnt going to die.”,我们可以看出此时震动停止,作者认为还有一丝生的希望。DAngus,Doris,Gabriel and Kamil are some of the 21 names that have been chosen to be given to storms in the UK in the 2016/17 season.The Met Office,the UKs national weather service,decided to give storms boys and girls names in 2015 in the same way as they did in America.The Met Office hopes that naming big storms will mean people are more aware(意识到) of them and how dangerous they can be.Derrick Ryall,from the Met Office,said,“We have seen how naming storms elsewhere in the world raises peoples awareness of storms before they break.”In the past,the same UK storm could be given different names by different organisations.“We noticed that many organisations during the last couple of winters,when we have had bad storms,started giving names to them.Think back to the St Judes Day storm in 2013,and the so-called Hurricane Bawbag in Scotland in 2011.But it led to confusion(混乱),” a Met Office spokeswoman said.According to the Met Office,there is a name for each letter of the whole alphabet(字母表),except for Q,U,X,Y and Z.That is the same as the naming tradition used in America.And not all storms will be big enough to get namesonly those expected to cause great damage.If there are more than 21 storms in a year,the Met Office will start again with another name beginning with“A”.However,according to Met Office spokeswoman Lindsay Mears,“Its unlikely we would get through the whole alphabet in one season.We had 14 storms in the very bad winter of 2013/14,and if the naming system had been in operation then we wouldnt have used the whole alphabet.”【语篇导读】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了英国为暴风雨命名的情况。32.Why are storms in the UK named?A.To increase public awareness of them.B.To remind people of their short stay.C.To follow what other countries did.D.To meet the needs of its people.答案:A解析推理判断题。由第三段中的“naming big storms will mean people are more aware(意识到) of them and how dangerous they can be.”和“.how naming storms elsewhere in the world raises peoples awareness of storms before they break.”可推断,英国为暴风雨命名是为了增强人们对暴风雨的了解和防范意识。33.Examples are given in Paragraph 4 to show .A.therere many storms to name in a yearB.organisations named storms differentlyC.some storms names are similar to othersD.some storms names are hard to understand答案:B解析推理判断题。本段的主题句是“In the past,the same UK storm could be given different names by different organisations.”,下文通过举例说明该主题。34.What do we know about the names given to storms?A.Storms will be given names whatever their sizes.B.Serious storms will be given boys names.C.21 letters will be used to begin the names.D.21 names will be given at most in a year.答案:C解析细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的“.there is a name for each letter of the whole alphabet(字母表),except for Q,U,X,Y and Z”和最后一段中的“If there are more than 21 storms in a year.”可知,在为暴风雨命名的时候,会以21个字母(字母表一共26个字母,除了Q,U,X,Y,Z之外还有21个)开头。35.What can be learned from Lindsay Mears?A.There are not too many big storms yearly.B.Action will be taken to prevent storms.C.There are usually 14 storms in a year.D.The naming system will not change.答案:A解析推理判断题。由最后一段中Lindsay Mears所说的“Its unlikely we would get through the whole alphabet in one season.We had 14 storms in the very bad winter of 2013/14.we wouldnt have used the whole alphabet.”可推断,她认为英国每年不会发生那么多暴风雨,因此不会使用完21个字母作为名字的开头来命名暴风雨。第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Go greenAre you worried about our earth?Do you want to do what you can do to
