unit 4 earthquakes period oneperiod onewarming up & reading.阅读理解in singapore，most of us love window-shopping while some others enjoy having a picnic at east coast park or changi beach on sunny days.singaporeans are never bothered by the occasional thunderstorm.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 part of bukit timah was impassable 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 water 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】本文是一篇说明文。说明了人类与自然灾害之间的关系，进而倡导大家减少危害环境的行为。1what will happen in singapore if there are floods in its neighboring countries?aheavy

dwounded答案a 由上文的“a book of condolences(吊唁簿)”和下文的“the national mourning(全国哀悼)”可以看出，这里要表达的意思是：各国外交使节到外交部对地震中的罹难者表示沉痛哀悼。victim意思是“牺牲者，罹难者”。the wounded(受伤者)有很大的干扰性，但不符合上下文语境。2a.left bmaintainedcexpanded dremained答案dremain和形容词连用，意思是“保持某个状态”，强调继续停留于一处或保持原状态。而最大的干扰项是maintain “维持；保持；使继续”，但该词是及物动词，后面要加宾语。3a.permission bdecisioncconclusion dcelebration答案cconclusion用作名词，意思是“结束”。外交部举行的此次悼念活动将持续三天，直到全国哀悼日结束为止。如果不注意一词多义现象，忽略了conclusion还可以指“结束”，就很容易误选其他选项。4a.off bin cfrom dto答案c句意：来自150多个国家和国际组织的大使及外交官from意思是“来自”。5a.signed up blined upcmade up dstood up答案b来自150多个国家和国际组织的驻华使节排队在留言簿上签名，表达他们的哀悼之情。所以只有line up “排成行，排成列”符合语境。sign up “签约”；make up “编造”；stand up “起立”。6a.bowed blifted cshook dhit 答案a这里要表达的意思是，这些外交官员，向我们的遇难同胞低头致哀。bow ones head意思是“向低头”。7a.desire brespectcunderstanding dsupport答案dsupport “支持，支援”。这些外交官还表达了他们对中国政府、军队以及中国人民对抗震救灾的支持。understanding(理解，了解)有很大的干扰性，但不符合他们积极捐款捐物支援我国灾区的事实，所以应该排除。8a.connecting with bdealing withcarguing with dbeginning with 答案bdeal with在这里表示“处理，应对”。9a.to design bto resigncto sign dto respect答案cthe first to sign the book of condolences表示“第一个在吊唁簿上签名留言，向中国政府和人民表示深切同情和诚挚慰问的人”。design “设计，策划”；resign “辞职”；sign “签名；在签字”；respect “尊敬，尊重”。10a.while bwhen cas dfor答案awhile “而，然而”，表示对比。 11a.crew bteam cfaculty dstaff答案dstaff “全体员工”。墨西哥大使率领所有的大使馆工作人员参加了悼念活动，以表尊重。12a.which bwho cthat dwhom答案b代替表示人的先行词，在从句中作主语，引导一个非限制性定语从句，所以只能用关系代词who。 13a.visiting bdescribingcrescuing dscanning答案a这里指的是该大使刚刚视察完灾区。所以要用visit。describe “描述”；rescue “营救，援救”；scan “浏览，细看”。14a.consistent babsentcpresent dcontent答案c 刚从灾区返回的印度大使也出席了悼念活动。因为前文介绍的都是出席悼念活动的大使们，结合空前的also，所以应选“present(出席的)”作表语。consistent “一致的，始终如一的”；absent “缺席的”；content “甘愿的，满意的”。15a.received bmadecled ddirected答案areceive在这里表示“接待或欢迎客人或来访者”。句意：外交部长杨洁篪接待了来宾，并表达了对外宾们友谊和支持的感激之情。 16a.attitude baltitudeclatitude dgratitude答案dgratitude “感激之情”。对于来慰问我们遇难同胞的友人的友谊和支持，自然应该是心存感激。 attitude “态度”；latitude “纬度”；altitude “海拔”。17a.organizations bgovernmentccountry dmissions 答案dmission “大使馆”。上文介绍的是外交部在国内举办的悼念活动，各国驻华大使前去签名悼念。这里介绍的是我驻外使馆开展的悼念活动。句意：外交部驻外使馆也开展了悼念活动，并降半旗致哀。18a.our btheir chis dher答案b此处所填的词指代的是“the leaders.and heads.”，且限定中心词condolences，所以要用their。句意：已有166个国家元首和30 多个国际组织的代表向中国表达了他们的哀悼。 19a.chief bbelief crelief dbrief答案c这里要表达的意思是：除了派救济(relief)队到我们国家外，国际组织到2008年5月20日已经捐款246 000 000美元(支援中国灾区)。relief此处意为“救济”；chief “首领”；belief “信条，信念”；brief “概要”。20a.made bdonated cgave dcollected 答案bdonate意为“捐赠，捐献”，一般要接表示具体物体、金钱的名词。句意见上一题。.阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。“potentially
