I am 13, and I live in Chantilly, Va. Just yesterday, June 24, 1996, I was at home watching my sister, who is mentally handicapped. My father was at work while my mother and younger sister were at moms office.I had noticed the clouds growing darker and the ones to the east were turning green. At first I thought nothing of it, but then on the TV, the weather reporter was announcing a big thunderstorm warning, one that usually brings hail and heavy rain.After seeing that, I called my mother and told her about it. She told me I should not be worried because it was just a thunderstorm so we hungup. Then I looked outside and noticed it was almost pitch black at 4：30. I took a flashlight (手电筒) because I was sure the power was going to go out any second. Then nosooner had I gotten back from getting the flashlight than the weather reporter announced a Tornado Warning! I had never been in an actual tornado before, but I had seen some funnel clouds before in Montana. Suddenly I realized I had no time to lose and I had to try to get my sister down the stairs to the basement in a matter of minutes. I surprisingly got her down there with no trouble at all and I raced back up the stairs to get the cordless phone. When I got back downstairs my dad called and told me to get downstairs immediately. I told him I was already down there! He said OK and we talked for a few seconds and then we hung up. Then_through_the_basement_windows,_the_only_thing_I_could_see_was_when_lightning_struck. I do not recall hearing of any deaths, or too many injuries so I guess everyone got a good head start to run to their basements. Either they or we are all lucky.1Ben took a flashlight because _.Ahe wanted to look for somethingBit was not bright enough in the roomChe wanted to take care of his sisterDhe was prepared for the power off答案：D细节理解题。根据第三段第四句中的“I was sure the power was going to go out any second”可知，他拿手电筒的目的是为了防止因暴风雨的来临而停电。2How did Ben save himself and his sister?ABy staying upstairs at home.BBy running out of the house.CBy hiding in the basement.DBy using the cordless phone.答案：C推理判断题。第四段提到“我”把姐姐安置到了地下室，并且父亲与“我”通话告诉“我”要尽快到地下室，结合末段提到的龙卷风过后并没有人受伤，是因为人们都躲到了地下室。由此可知，C符合文意。3How did Bens father feel when he called Ben?AWorried. BExcited.CDisappointed. DEncouraged.答案：A推理判断题。龙卷风就要到来，爸爸给本打电话让他们立即(immediately)躲进地下室，由此判断爸爸当时很担心。4What can we infer from the underlined sentence?AIt was completely dark outside.BThey were scared.CThe flashlight was broken.DIt was at midnight.答案：A推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“透过地下室的窗户，我所能看见的东西就是闪电。”可知，外面全黑了。1announce vt. 宣布，宣告2notice v. 看到；注意到；听到1hang up 挂断电话；挂起(衣服)2no sooner . than . 一就BEarthquakes are something that people fear. There are some places that have few or no earthquakes. Most places in the world, however, have them regularly. Countries that have a lot of earthquakes are usually quite mountainous. The most talked about earthquake in the United States was in San Francisco in 1906. Over 700 people died in it. The strongest one in North America was in 1964. It happened in Alaska. Strong earthquakes are not always the ones that kill the most people. In 1755, one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded was felt in Portugal. Around 2,000 people died. In 1923, a very strong earthquake hit the Tokyo, Yokohama area of Japan. A hundred and forty thousand people died. Most of them died in fires which followed the earthquake. One of the worst earthquakes ever was in China in 1976. It killed a large numberof people. The worst earthquake ever reported was also in China, in which 400,000 people were killed or injured. This earthquake happened in 1556.Earthquakes worry people a lot. The reason is that we often do not know when they are coming. People can not preparefor them.5We can infer from the passage that _.Apeople are not afraid of earthquakesBonly strong earthquakes kill a large number of peopleCa large number of earthquakes often happen next to mountainsDearthquakes happen only in a few places along the coast答案：C推理判断题。根据文章第一句判断A项错误；从文章有关地震所致伤亡情况的叙述来看，B项错误；根据第一段最后一句可知答案为C。6How many people died in the earthquake which happened in Portugal in 1755?A500. B140,000.C400,000. DAround 2,000.答案：D细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句可知答案为D。7When and where was the worst earthquake ever reported?A1967; Alaska. B1556; China.C1923; Japan. D1976; China.答案：B细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的最后两句可知答案为B。8According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?AThe stronger the earthquake is, the more people are killed.BEarthquakes often come unexpectedly (出乎意料地)CEarthquakes can cause fires.DPeople still dont know how to tell when an earthquake will come.答案：A细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知，地震强度与伤亡人数不一定有直接关系，故A项错误。1regularly adv. 定期地，定时地2mountainous adj. 多山的1a number of 许多2prepare for 筹备，为做准备语法填空For Rachael and Leigh Barman, there is only one wish on their Christmas list this yearthat their sick daughter Paige should survive until December 25.

Our best Christmas present would be having Paige with us at Christmas. No matter _10_ she leaves the world, we make sure that she is always happy.”1_2._3._4._5_6._7._8._9_10._1a考查冠词。disease是可数名词，此处是泛指，意为“一种罕见的疾病”，且disease的发音是以辅音音素开头，故填a。2which考查定语从句的引导词。此处是非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词disease，且关系词在从句中作主语。3without考查介词。根据句意可知，此处是“没有任何先兆”。4worse考查形容词的比较级。even后接形容词的比较级，再根据句意“她的情况变得更糟糕了”可知答案为worse。5on考查介词。在具体的某一天，应用介词on。6regularly考查词性转换。修饰动词应用副词，regularly是副词，意为“定期地，有规律地”。7described考查动词的时态。本文是讲述过去的事情，故用一般过去时。8her考查形容词性物主代词。由前面提到的Mrs Barman及设空处修饰名词daughter可知，此处填her。9broken考查非谓语动词。my heart和break之间是被动关系，故应用过去分词。10when考查状语从句的连接词。句意“无论在什么时候她离开这个世界，我们确信她总是快乐的”可知应填when。短文改错As is known to all, different people speak different language, but sports have a language of their own. A football player from Japan can not play with a player from England. One does not need understand the language of the other. The game speak for itself.
