Fifty cubic kilometers of magma (岩浆) flew from its peak (山顶) and a blanket of ash as thick as one centimeter fell over more than 500,000 square kilometers of Indonesia and the Java Sea. The eruption destroyed Tamboras peak and formed a hole six by seven kilometers wide. The eruption and resulting tsunamis killed 10,000 people. The agricultural loss and disease brought about by the thick ash caused the deaths of 82,000 more.Indonesia was rocked again in 1883. On August 26, a small volcano on an uninhabited island between Sumatra and Java, erupted. The eruption produced an ash cloud 80 kilometers high and was heard in Australia4,800 kilometers away. The eruption also caused a tsunami, which pounded (击打) the shores of Java and Sumatrakilling 36,000 people.In 1902, St. Pierre was a thriving (兴盛的) community and the largest town on the French colony of Martinique in the Caribbean Sea. Mont Pelee cast a shadow over the town from where it stood, eight kilometers to the north. The townspeople were used to the light continuous sounds of the mountain, but in May, 1902 Pelee started to get really unstable. Clouds of steam and ash poured from the volcano and on May 8, Pelee erupted. Superheated gas and steaming volcanic ash flew out, pouring down the mountain at high speed. Within seconds, the deadly gas cloud had destroyed the town of St. Pierre and incinerated everyone in it except one prisoner in a basement cell. It was the worst volcano disaster of the 20th century.56. How many people died because of the eruption on April 10, 1815 ?A. About 10,000. B. More than 82,000.C. About 36,000. D. More than 92,000.57. The underlined word “incinerated” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “_”.A. brought up B. burned upC. woke up D. shut up58. Only one prisoner survived the volcano eruption of Mont Pelee on May 8 because _.A. he was on a ship thenB. he was kept undergroundC. he stayed in the waterD. he was hidden in a well59. We can know from this article that _.A. no measures can be taken to protect people from a volcano eruptionB. volcanoes usually caused a series of earthquakesC. sometimes a volcano can completely destroy a cityD. volcanoes are much more violent than the earthquakesBEnvironmental health is defined as the control of the factors (因素) in the environment that may have harmful effects on peoples physical, mental, or social well-being (安乐). Because natural disasters expose people to danger by bringing up or threatening their immediate environment, effective management of environmental health after a natural disaster is of great importance.The environmental health measures that must be considered after a natural disaster include the supply of appropriate shelter for individuals or groups of people left homeless, the distribution (分配) of safe and accessible water, and the protection and distribution of safe food products and so on.To effectively manage environmental health during and after a disaster, it is important that a state of preparation is in effect before the event actually occurs. During an emergency, success largely depends on making good, rapid judgment and appropriate response measures. High-level decision makers, therefore, must be familiar with sound measures beforehand and should be given an accurate judgment of the disasters specific effects as quickly as possible.This book is intended to serve as a guide for those who may be called upon to make emergency decisions after disaster strikes. The recommended environmental health measures have been listed in the order of priority in which they should be taken during an emergency. However, each natural disaster is unique in the degree or type of emergency. In response to any given disaster, decision makers may find it necessary to change the priority assigned to any particular measure.60. The first paragraph is mainly to _.A. tell the reader how to understand environmental healthB. express why environmental health after a natural disaster is importantC. describe the terrible scene that is caused by the natural disastersD. give advice on how to deal with the management of environmental health61. In order to effectively cope with the emergency, the most important is that _.A. we should have enough shelters and toolsB. everyone should be familiar with the situationC. we should be well prepared for it in advanceD. we can deal with it just as we did before62. We cant do just as the recommended environmental health measures because _.A. some of the measures have not been taken beforeB. they are not the same according to different degrees or types of emergencyC. they are probably made up by someone without experienceD. they cant be changed once they are taken by the experts63. The best title of this passage should be _.A. Environmental Health Management after Natural DisastersB. The Bad Influence of the Natural DisastersC. Useful Measures to Avoid the Natural DisastersD. The Importance of the Environmental Health ManagementCCan people change their skin colour without suffering like pop king Michael Jackson? Perhaps yes. Scientists have found the gene that determines skin colour.The gene comes in two versions, one of which is found in 99 per cent of Europeans. The other is found in 93 to 100 per cent of Africans, researchers at Pennsylvania State University report in the latest issue of Science.Scientists have changed the colour of a dark-striped zebrafish to uniform gold by inserting a version of the pigment(色素) gene into a young fish. As with humans, zebrafish skin colour is determined by pigment cells, which contain melanosomes(黑色素). The number, size and darkness of melanosomes per pigment cell determines skin colour.It appears that, like the golden zebrafish, light-skinned Europeans also have a mutation(变异) in the gene for melanosome production. This results in less pigmented skin.However, Keith Cheng, leader of the research team, points out that the mutation is different in human and zebrafish genes.Humans acquired dark skin in Africa about 1.5 million years ago to protect bodies from ultra-violet rays of the sun(太阳光紫外线), which can cause skin cancer.But when modern humans leave Africa to live in northern latitudes, they need more sunlight on their skin to produce vitamin D. So the related gene changes, according to Cheng.Asians have the same version of the gene as Africans, so they probably acquired their light skin through the action of some other gene that affects skin colour, said Cheng.The new discovery could lead to medical treatments for skin cancer. It also could lead to research into ways to change skin colour without damaging it like chemical treatment did on Michael Jackson.64. The passage mainly tells us that _.A. people can not change their skin colour without any painB. the new discovery could lead to search into ways to change skin colour safelyC. pop king Michael Jackson often changed his skin colour as he likedD. scientists have found out that peoples skin colour is determined by the gene65. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. nowadays people who want to change their skin colour have to suffer a lot from the damage caused by the chemical treatmentB. Europeans and Africans have the same geneC. the new discovery could help to find medical treatments for skin cancerD. there are two kinds of genes66. Scientists have done an experiment on a dark-striped zebra fish in order to _.A. find the different genes of humansB. prove the humans skin colour is determined by the pigment geneC. find out the reason why the Africans skin colour is darkD. find out the ways of changing peopls skin colour67. The reason why Europeans are light-skinned is probably that _.A. they are born light-skinned peopleB. light-skinned Europeans have mutation in the gen for melanosome productionC. they have fewer activities outsideD. they pay much attention to protecting their skinDAnimals are being killed by hunters in America in a cruel way, says an animal protection organization. There are about 1,000 hunting farms across America whose owners offer hunters an opportunity to kill animals that are kept in fenced areas.Russian boar, zebra, deer, antelope and many other species are raised just to be killed. Farm owners charge hunters thousands of dollars for animals that they kill, many of which are close to extinction (灭绝).The Humane Society of the United States says this type of hunting should be stopped because it is not fair to the animals. Many owners raise their animals. Others buy from animal dealers or from zoos and circuses that no longer want them. This means that the animals are not afraid of humans and they are easy to be shot by hunters.Owners of small ranches (牧场) keep their animals in fenced areas so that the hunters can get close to the animals before shooting at them. On large farms hunters are taken to areas where the animals are fed sometime of the day. This also makes it easy to kill the animals.The hunters want to keep the heads and chests of the animals they kill to hang as trophies (战利品) on their walls. This means that the animals are usually shot in parts of the body. That means they will suffer a slow and painful death.The hunting is allowed across most of America but some parts of the country have stopped or restricted it. The Humane Society of the United States hopes that it wont be too long before the rest parts of the country also give up this cruel sport.68. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Fenced Animals Are in DangerB. Animals Are Easy to KillC. Hunters Pay to Kill Fenced AnimalsD. Animal Hunting Should Be Banned69. One of the main reasons why these animals are easy to be shot is that _.A. they dont run very fastB. they are not afraid of humansC. they dont know how to escapeD. the hunters are good at shooting70. What can we learn from the passage?A. Many animals can run away when hunters want to shoot them.B. It is very cruel to kill the animals in the way mentioned in the passage.C. The Humane Society of the United States considers this kind of hunting as a good sport.D. The animals are usually hung on the walls after being shot.71. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. no measures have been taken to prevent this kind of huntingB. the animals usually get really hungry before dyingC. in most parts of America this kind of hunting has been stoppedD. people who do this kind of hunting are probably very rich第二节：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No fight can end, and no friendship can move on, until everyone says these little words : Im sorry . Sometimes, though, they can be difficult to say. 72Its not about winning.Friendships arent like the Super Bowl, and there should never be a winner and a loser. When you start fighting with a friend, it may feel important that you “win” the fight by proving youre right and he is wrong , or by making him be the first to apologize .In reality, youll BOTH LOSE if you let
