After the earthquake, all the newspapers reported many stories about some of the families who were in trouble.One Sunday, when I was reading a newspaper, a special picture touched me. It gave the clothing sizes of each family member. I thought that this would be a good chance to teach my children to help those who were less lucky than themselves. I said to my sevenyearold twins, Brad and Brett, and threeyearold Meghan, “We have so much, and these poor people now have nothing. Well share what we have with them.”I filled a box with foods and clothes. While I was doing this, I encouraged the boys to choose their toys and donate some of their less favourite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out their old toys and games and put them together. Then she walked away. A few minutes later, she came back with Lucy, her muchloved doll. She put the doll on top of the other toys. “Oh, dear，” I said. “You dont have to give Lucy. You love her so much.” Meghan said, “Lucy makes me happy, mommy. Maybe shell make another little girl happy, too.”I looked at Meghan for a long moment. She taught me a lesson. Its easy to give something that we dont want any more, but hard to give what we cherish， isnt it?篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一场地震给一个小镇的人们带来了灾难，作者想利用这个机会来教育自己的孩子学会和不幸的人分享自己不再要的东西，而孩子却给作者上了一课：把自己珍爱的东西送人更难能可贵。1The writer has _ children.Aone BtwoCthree Dfour答案：C细节理解题。根据第二段第四句中的“I said to my sevenyearold twins, Brad and Brett, and threeyearold Meghan .”判断可知。2The underlined word “donate” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_” in Chinese.A捐赠 B丢掉C展出 D放好答案：A词义猜测题。 由孩子们找玩具及本段中的“You dont have to give Lucy.”判断可知。3Lucy is the name of _.Aa girl Ba gameCa doll Dan earthquake答案：C细节理解题。 由第三段第五句中的“she came back with Lucy, her muchloved doll”判断可知。4Whats the best title of this passage?AA family storyBThe spirit of givingCThe way of helping othersDA sad experience答案：B标题判断题。本文作者看了一篇有关一场地震让许多家庭陷入困境的报道后，她想借此机会让孩子们学会关爱他人，结果，孩子们积极行动起来，尤其是小女儿将自己倍加珍爱的玩具娃娃捐赠出去。宝贵的奉献和分享的精神在作者家中体现得淋漓尽致。故选B。1touch v. 感动；打动；触摸2cherish vt. 珍惜；珍爱1in trouble 处于麻烦中2teach sb. a lesson 给某人一个教训，使某人受启发BWhen people want to know about the weather, they usually go to their radios, TVs, newspapers, or to the Internet. However, you can also find many weather signs among wildlife, because of their highly developed senses. Drops in air pressure (压力) produce an effect on small animals in many ways. Mice and deer are good weather indicators. People who spend a lot of time outdoors have observed that, before a storm, field mice come out of their holes and run around. Deer leave high ground and come down from the mountains.Birds are especially good weather indicators because they also show the effect of a pressure drop in many ways. For example, some birds become irritable (急躁的) and quarrelsome and will fight over a piece of bread. Other birds chirp (叽叽喳喳) and sing just before a storm. It seems that they know they wont get another chance for an hour or two. Birds also seek safe places before a storm. You will sometimes see birds settling in trees or gathering together on a wire close to a building. Prestorm low pressure makes the air so thin that birds have difficulty flying.It is unusual to see many birds flying overhead in the summertime, rather than during the periods in the spring or autumn. Watch for other weather signs if you see this. If they fly in the wrong direction, they may be flying ahead of a storm.By paying closer attention to some important signs in nature, we can become better prepared for any kind of weather.篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是动物，如老鼠、鹿、小鸟在天气变化前的不同反应。5The word “indicators” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_”Amaps Bservices Csigns Dstations答案：C词义猜测题。作者在第一段中首先指出人们要想获取“weather signs”，其实观察野生动物也可以，接着给出原因，然后举例“Mice and deer are good weather indicators.”由此可知答案选C。6There will be a storm if birds _.Amake more noise than usualBfly in different directionsCcome down from tall treesDshare a piece of bread答案：A细节理解题。由第二段中的“irritable (急躁的)”“quarrelsome”“chirp (叽叽喳喳)”和“sing”等词可知A为正确答案。7How can birds sense the coming of a storm?ABy feeling a drop in air temperature.BBy noticing the change of wind directions.CBy feeling a drop in air pressure.DBy noticing the movements of other animals.答案：C细节理解题。由第二段的首尾句中的“a pressure drop”“low pressure”可知答案为C。8The best title for the text would be _. ASigns of a Storm BDrops in Air Pressure CAnimals Sharp Senses DNatures Weather Signs答案：C标题判断题。文章主要讲的是动物，如老鼠、鹿、小鸟能敏锐地感知天气的变化。1sign n. 信号；迹象2outdoors adv. 在户外1settle in 安顿下来；习惯于(新居)2have difficulty (in) doing 做有困难.七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。When was the last time you had great fun with your family? _1_ So stand up and plan to have fun with your family.Going to the zoo is definitely a numberone pick for family activities.

Certain areas, such as California and Japan, are more prone_to earthquakes than others. Although the chance of being caught in “The Big One” is remote, its wise to be prepared if you live in a region where earthquakes are common.Educate your family about earthquakes before a big one strikes. For example, they need to know to take shelter in a doorway or under a strong object if indoors, and never to run outdoors if they are inside. If outside, they need to know to stay away from power lines and buildings where objects could fall.Teach family members how to turn off gas or water lines or electrical power that may need to be shut off after a quake if severe damage occurs.Develop a plan. Where will your family meet in the event of a disaster? What if some people are at work or school? How will you know if they are safe? Where will you all meet up?Pack a preparedness kit (衣物装备) and keep it in a safe location. In a major earthquake, its possible that you wont be able to get into your house. Keep supplies in your car trunk or an outside storage shed if possible. Pack whatever your family is likely to need, enough for three days to a week, including food, water, medication, first aid and personal hygiene supplies, flashlights, a portable radio, blankets, clothes and shoes, cash, or camp stove, candles, matches or lighters, and a whistle.Consider earthquake insurance for your home if you live in an earthquakeprone area. Regular homeowners insurance doesnt cover earthquake damage.篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。每年的地震很多，但是大地震并不多，经常遭受地震的地区也是集中的，但是我们应该为地震做好准备，尽量减少损失。1The underlined words “prone to” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by _.Alikely to suffer Bfrequent to exploreCregular to measure Dimpossible to experience答案：A词义猜测题。文章最后一段说，如果你住在earthquakeprone地区，要考虑为你的家购买地震保险，因为常规房屋保险不保障地震损害。因此可推断prone to是“可能会遭受”的意思。所以A项正确。2According to the passage, if you are outside in an earthquake, you should _.Astay where you are Bhide under a big treeCavoid power lines Dsit on the ground答案：C细节理解题。从文章第二段最后一句可知，地震的时候如果你在外面，应该避开电线，所以C项正确。3We can learn from the passage that _.Aabout 1,500 earthquakes happen every yearBpeople should store some clothes in their houses in advanceCfamily members should meet in their home after an earthquakeDpeople suffering earthquakes often should buy earthquake insurance答案：D推理判断题。从文章最后一段可知，家住震区的人应该买地震保险，所以D项正确。4What would be the best title for the passage?AHow to Keep Safe in an EarthquakeBHow to Prepare for an EarthquakeCWho Can Help Us After an Earthqua
