Calbuco erupted on Wednesday, April 22, 2015, and again the next morning. It was the first time the volcano had erupted since 1972. According to officials, the volcano sent out an estimated 7,420 cubic feet of ash. Thursdays eruption created an ash cloud that reached 12 miles into the air. Even now, days after the initial eruption, the volcano continues to emit ash and smoke. Ensenada, which lies at the foot of Calbuco, and the areas surrounding it have been covered with ash. The Ministry of Interior and Public Safety says more than 20 inches of ash fell in some places. The dust even reached a small town in Argentina more than 50 miles northeast of the volcano. “Wherever you look, all you see is gray dust，” says Ensenada resident Victor Hugo Toledo. “It looks like a gray desert.” More than 6,000 people were evacuated (撤离) from their homes following the eruptions. The weight of the ash caused the roofs of many homes and businesses to collapse. No one was injured. Officials are not expecting any water, food, or fuel shortages. But Chilean President Michelle Bachelet has declared a state of emergency. “Our problem is . breathing in all of this ash, and the fact that this ash could generate some sort of environmental pollution，” Bachelet says. Local farmers are also worried about their cows and sheep. The government of Chile announced on Saturday that it would provide financial aid for farmers who suffered big losses and help evacuate thousands of farm animals.Many residents of areas now considered safe are returning to their homes to see what they can save. Military forces are helping with the cleanup. “We have observed secondary explosions . linked with the movement of fluids within the volcano，” the National Office of Emergency says. Because of that, the office has established a 12mile exclusion zone around the volcano in order to keep people at a safe distance, and scientists are maintaining a red alert status.5The underlined word “emit” in Paragraph 2 may mean “_”Atake in Bgive outCput off Dsend away答案：B词义猜测题。根据画线词前面的内容“the volcano sent out an estimated 7,420 cubic feet of ash”可知，火山应该是喷发出一些火山灰和烟尘等，故选B项。6Which of the following problems is the area facing after the eruption?AThe lack of water and food.BThe shortage of fuel.CThe environmental pollution.DThe death of farm animals.答案：C细节理解题。结合第五段第三句中的“Our problem is . breathing in all of this ash, and the fact that this ash could generate some sort of environmental pollution”可知，这个地方现在所面临的问题是环境污染。7We can infer from the last paragraph that _.Ascientists are watching for the volcanic eruptionsBthe alert about the following volcanic eruptions is given by scientistsCthe safe distance to all the volcanoes is about 12 milesDscientists are studying the red lava from the volcano答案：A推理判断题。结合最后一段尾句中的“scientists are maintaining a red alert status”可知，科学家们依然处在保持警惕的状态之中，因此可推断A项正确。8What might be the most suitable title for the passage?AA big loss in volcanic eruptionsBA volcano erupts suddenly in ChileCA dead volcano becomes activeDA lack of water after volcanic eruptions答案：B标题判断题。本文主要介绍了智利连续两次火山喷发，给当地人们造成了一些财产损失及当地人们面临的环境污染等情况。故B项最适合作文章的标题。短文改错The small river in my hometown has been serious polluted in recent years. Day and night large quantities of waste water is being poured into it from factories nearby. The pollution is so serious that there arent any fish or plants live in it any more.
