of natural environmental processes(过程) that have a damaging effect on people.natural disasters come in many forms:such as geological events like earthquakes,climatic events like tornadoes(龙卷风) and storms,and fire events like forest fires and wildfires.the damage done by natural disasters is mainly because we are not able to predict(预测) exactly when they will happen.although great progress has been made in designing and developing forecasting models for some natural disasters,complete certainty is still impossible.whats more,even though we were able to predict(预测) these disasters,preventing them is equally impossible.so we only have two ways to both prevent injuries or deaths and reduce economic losses to the least.these two methods are to prepare before a natural disaster hits,and to manage the necessary resources and public services after a natural disaster strikes.these two things have been at the leading position of the projects of both national governments and international organizations.in the united states,the federal emergency management agency is responsible(负责的) for the “preparedness,response and recovery planning” of both man-made and natural disasters.most natural disasters cannot be prevented,and both emergency preparation and good disaster management are the best ways to deal with them.1.according to the passage,both humankind and nature .a.can be managed orderlyb.can threaten human beingsc.are hard to controld.have a large family答案:b解析:细节理解题。由第一段第一句可知,除了人类自己之外,对人类的唯一威胁就是大自然,故答案为b项。2.the reason why natural disasters cause so much damage is that .a.it is very difficult to predict when exactly they will happenb.our forecasting equipment is too old for many natural disastersc.we dont do enough preparation before natural disasters striked.we dont have the necessary public services to use after natural disasters strike答案:a解析:由第二段第一句可知,自然灾难之所以给人类造成巨大损失,是因为人类难以预测出灾难发生的准确时间。3.it can be learned from the text that .a.human beings can prevent natural disastersb.human beings cant predict any natural disastersc.human beings have two ways to change natural disastersd.human beings can prepare before a disaster comes答案:d解析:细节理解题。由第三段内容可知,人类可以在自然灾难来临之前做好准备。故选d项。bit was 3:12 am when nine-year-old glenn kreamer woke up to the smell of burning.except for the cracking of flames somewhere below there was not a sound in the two-story house at baldwin,long island.with his father away on night duty at a local factory,glenn was worried about the safety of his mother,his sister karen,14 and his 12-year-old brother todd.he ran downstairs(到楼下) through the smoke-filled house to push and pull karen and todd until they sat up.then he helped each one through the house to the safety of the garden.there,his sister and brother,taking short and quick breaths and coughing(咳嗽),sat on the ground.the nine-year-old boy ran back into the house and upstairs to his mothers room.he found it impossible to wake her up.mrs kreamer,because of the smoke,was unconscious(无意识的),and there was nobody to help glenn carry her to the garden.but the boy remained calm and,as a fireman said later,“acted with all the self-control of a trained(训练) grown-up”.on the bedroom telephone,luckily still working,glenn called his father and,leaving mr kreamer to telephone the firemen and ambulance service,got on with the task of saving his mother.first he filled a bucket(水桶) with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed.then,with a wet cloth around his head he went back to the garden.he could hear the fire engine coming up,but how would the firemen find his mother in the smoke-filled house?carrying a ball of string (线) from the garage,glenn ran back into the house and went upstairs to his mothers room.tying one end of the string to her hand he ran back,laying out the string as he went,through the hall and back out into the garden.minutes later he was telling fire chief john coughlan,“the string will lead you to my mother.” mrs kreamer was carried to safety as the flames were breaking through her bedroom floor.4.why did glenn run downstairs first?a.he wanted to find out what was happening.b.he was worried about his mothers safety.c.he wanted to save his sister and brother.d.he went to see if his father had come back from work.答案:c解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中的“he ran downstairs(到楼下) through the smoke-filled house to push and pull karen and todd until they sat up.”可知,格列跑到楼下是为了救他的哥哥和姐姐。5.how did glenn help the firemen to find his mother?a.by throwing water all over her and her bed.b.by carrying her to safety with his brother.c.by pushing and pulling his brother.d.by tying a string to his brothers hand.答案:d解析:根据文章倒数一、二段内容可知答案。6.what did glenn do to protect himself in the fire?a.he put a wet cloth around his head.b.he threw water all over himself.c.he hid himself in the bathroom.d.he rushed out to the lawn.答案:a解析:根据文章第四段中的“then,with a wet cloth around his head he went back to the garden.”可知a项正确。7.glenn saved his family because .a.his father had taught him to do so on the phoneb.he had learned something about first aidc.he had dealt with the emergency calmly and wiselyd.he had followed his mothers instruction答案:c解析:根据全文内容,尤其是第一段后半部分、第二段和最后两段可知,是格列的沉着冷静而且机智的做法救了家人的性命。六、语篇填空阅读下面材料,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。导学号92730037once there lived a
