Section Grammar.阅读理解AHaving lived in California until 1970, my family has felt a number of earthquakes. We have been fortunate, however, to have suffered no bodily harm or property damage.There is a website that lists all California earthquakes recorded from 1769 to the present. The site lists the dates and times as well as the magnitude (震级) and the exact location of any quake that measured more than 6.0. There are only a few quakes that stand out in my memory and, luckily, none is shown in the website. So, my personal experience with earthquakes might be considered insignificant.There are three earthquakes that are difficult to forget. The first one was in 1955 and our oldest daughter was walking with me in our backyard in Redwood City in California. As the shaking became stronger I held her to me with one arm as I held on to one of our fruit trees with the other. All three of us (my daughter, I and the tree) shook for two or three minutes that to us felt like hours.The second one was in 1963. Our entire family was visiting Disneyland in Southern California. The earth started to shake just as we were beginning to walk from our hotel toward the famous landmark.My third experience with an earthquake was a lonely one in California. It was in my sixties and I was alone in an old church. As the building started to shake, I quickly headed for the door to go outside. I remember I said a little prayer something like, “Help me get out of here in time, Dear Heavenly Father.” Minutes later, I was safe outside.【语篇解读】本文为记叙文。作者回忆了自己经历的三次地震。1The author writes the passage mainly to tell us about _.Aa new film about an earthquakeBhow to survive an earthquakeChis three earthquake experiencesDhow to save children in an earthquake解析：选C写作意图题。作者主要是向读者介绍了自己经历的三次地震。2The earthquakes the author has experienced _.Aall caused bodily harmBare all recorded in a websiteCall measured more than 6.0Dall happened in California解析：选D细节理解题。根据第三段的“The first one was in 1955.in California.”和第四段第二句以及第五段的“My third experience with an earthquake was a lonely one in California.”可知答案。3When the first earthquake happened, the author _.Awas staying with his daughterBwas planting fruit treesCheld on to a tree for hoursDwas in a hotel解析：选A细节理解题。根据第三段的“All three of us (my daughter, I and the tree) shook for two or three minutes”可知作者和他的女儿共同经历了这场地震。4What does the underlined part “the famous landmark” refer to?AA church.BDisneyland.CA building destroyed by an earthquake.DThe place where the author was born. 解析：选B推理判断题。根据“Our entire family was visiting Disneyland”可知答案。BAre you at least 17 years old? Do you weigh more than 110 pounds? Do you consider yourself fairly healthy?If you answered yes to all of these questions, you should be donating (捐赠) blood every two months. In my survey of my schoolmates, I found that only 50 percent of them have ever donated blood and that only 1 out of 13 of them donate regularly. The lack (缺少) of blood donors is a serious problem that requires immediate action.According to the American Red Cross Web pages, in the United States alone someone receives a blood transfusion (输血) once every three seconds. People who benefit from donations include cancer patients as well as babies. The need for blood never takes a vacation and neither should donors.Let me tell you about Brooke, a threeyearold girl with cancer. Brooke has spent about half of her life in the hospital receiving treatments. Her treatment will require about 500 units of blood in total, of which only 250 units have been replaced. She still needs the other half of the total amount to continue her treatment. If she doesnt receive this blood, she will not live to start kindergarten.Examples like Brookes are becoming all too common these days, with only 1 in 20 Americans donating blood and this number keeps dropping each year. These facts are extremely worrying considering that nearly half of us here will need blood sometime in our lives.You can now see the seriousness of the problem with the lack of blood donations. Fortunately, it is a problem that can be easily solved. Each and every one of you can be part of the solution. All you have to do is go to the nearest Red Cross and donate your blood.【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。作者在文中论述了义务献血的紧迫性。5How does the author explain the problem mentioned in Paragraph 2?ABy answering questions.BBy making comparisons.CBy presenting research findings.DBy describing his own experiences.解析：选C写作手法题。根据第二段中的“In my survey of my schoolmates, I found that .”可知，作者在第二段主要是通过陈述自己的研究发现来解释说明献血者少这一问题。6What can we learn from the American Red Cross Web pages?AThe suffering of patients.BThe strong need for blood.CThe efforts of the Red Cross.DThe benefits of taking vacations.解析：选B推理判断题。根据第三段中的“in the United States alone someone receives a blood transfusion (输血) once every three seconds”和“The need for blood never takes a vacation”不难看出市场对血液的强烈需求。7The threeyearold girl Brooke _.Adoesnt get fair treatment in the hospitalBwill need another 250 units of bloodCstays alive by receiving blood dailyDcant wait to start kindergarten解析：选B细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Her treatment will require about 500 units of blood in total, of which only 250 units have been replaced.
