Singaporeans are never bothered by the occasional (偶尔的) thunderstorms. However, we know that if it rains for long continuous periods, there will be more serious effects. Just recently the main shopping street of Orchard Road was flooded and some parts of Bukit Timah was impossible to traffic. People reacted by writing in to the newspaper to complain about this! We forget that other countries suffer much worse effects. Elsewhere, heavy tropical (热带的) storms often result in floods that ruin crops especially in Thailand and Malaysia. This in turn usually means that the price of rice and vegetables here in Singapore will rise because we import these products from them. If there is a typhoon or tsunami, thousands of lives are lost too. This happened in Indonesia and Phuket in Thailand in 2004 and it serves to remind us of how Mother Nature can cause great damage.Weather patterns in general have changed dramatically in recent years. Scientists believe that global warming and the resulting melting of the polar icecap has caused the level of the ocean to rise. This in turn causes flooding of lowlying areas in countries where the land is rather flat and some parts of which is below sea level. It is believed that human activities have caused Mother Nature to show her extreme anger, so it is now important that we really work together to cut down on harmful activities, for example, illegal logging (伐木) or irresponsible forestburning to clear land for farming.语篇解读：本文介绍了亚洲很多国家容易遭受的自然灾害及其产生的原因。1From Paragraph 1, we can see that most Singaporeans love _.Amaking complaintsBgoing out for picnicsCdoing windowshoppingDtravelling along the coast解析：选C细节理解题。根据第一段第一句可知大部分新加坡人喜欢浏览商店橱窗。2What will happen in Singapore if there are floods in its neighboring countries?AHeavy tropical storms will follow shortly.BThe price of rice and vegetables will go up.CMany people will write in to the newspaper.DMore rice and vegetables will be imported.解析：选B细节理解题。根据第一段倒数第三、四句可知热带风暴导致的洪水会毁掉庄稼，新加坡的大米和蔬菜是靠进口的，所以如果邻国发生洪水，新加坡的大米和蔬菜的价格会上涨。3The underlined word “it” in the passage refers to _.Athe arrival of heavy tropical stormsBthe import of rice and vegetablesCthe rising price of rice and vegetablesDthe loss of lives in natural disasters解析：选D代词指代题。上句提到台风或海啸会导致成千上万的人失去生命，这于2004年在印度尼西亚和泰国的普吉岛发生过。“自然灾害导致人死亡”这件事用来提醒我们大自然可以造成巨大的损失。4What should we do in order not to make Mother Nature angry?AClear more land for farming.BReduce harmful human activities.CBring down the price of food.DImprove the quality of weather.解析：选B推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，人们认为是人类的活动导致了大自然的极端愤怒，因此，现在我们真的应该团结合作来减少有害活动。加餐练(二)第卷规范增分练.语法填空Its not often that a tomato _1_ (describe) as so sweet that “whenever people see it they just want to hug it”， but this is not an ordinary piece of fruit.
