The Prime Minister said that the full assessment of the damages would possibly take months to know the severity of damages.

Passage 1What Should You Do When an Earthquake Hits?If you find the ground shaking beneath your feet，there’s an international consensus on how you should act.Earthquake safety boils down to three basic steps：1.Drop to the ground.2.Take cover by getting under a sturdy desk or table.3.Hold on to it until the shaking stops.If there isn’t a table or desk near you，drop to the ground in an inside corner of the building and cover your head and neck with your hands and arms.Do not try to run to another room just to get under a table.If you are in bed，hold on and stay there，protecting your head with a pillow.You are less likely to be injured staying where you are.Broken glass on the floor has caused injury to those who have rolled to the floor or tried to get to doorways. If you are outdoors，move to a clear area if you can safely do so；avoid power lines，trees，signs，buildings，vehicles，and other hazards：If you’re at the movies or a sports game，stay at your seat and protect your head and neck with your arms.Don’t try to leave until the shaking is over.Then walk out slowly watching for anything that could fall in the aftershocks.If you’re driving a car，pull over to the side of the road，stop，and set the parking brake.Avoid overpasses，bridges，power lines，signs and other hazards.Stay inside the vehicle until the shaking is over.If a power line falls on the car，stay inside until a trained person removes the wire.If you’re by the shore，drop，cover and hold on until the shaking stops.Estimate how long the shaking lasts.If severe shaking lasts 20 seconds or more，immediatelyevacuate to high ground as a tsunami （海啸） might have been generated by the earthquake：1Vlove inland 3 kilometers（2 miles）or to land that is at least 30 meters （100 feet） above sea level immediately. Don’t wait for officials to issue a warning.Walk quickly，rather than drive，to avoid traffic,debris and other hazards. If you live downstream for a dam，you should know flood-zone information and have prepared an evacuation tastrophie failure is unlikely，but dams can fail during major earthquakes.The main point is to try not to move and to immediately protect yourself as best as possible where you are.Earthquakes occur without any warning and may be so violent that you cannot run or crawl；you therefore will most likely be knocked to the ground where you happen to be.You will never know if the initial jolt will turn out to be start of the big one.In addition，studies of injuries and deaths caused by earthquakes in the US over the last several decades indicate you are much more likely to be injured by falling or flying objects（TVs，lamps，glass，bookcases，etc.）than to die in a collapsed building.“Drop，Cover and Hold on” offers the best overall level of protection.答案：1.Measures/Steps/Action 2.covered 3.or/otherwise/since 4.avoiding/not 5.supposed/expected 6.pull 7.escape 8.prepare 9.where 10.lessPassage 2Events such as hurricanes，earthquakes，floods，volcanic eruptions，and tornadoes are all natural disasters.They are mostly related to the weather.Some are predictable—like a hurricane.Some，like an earthquake，surprise us.It is necessary for us to learn about them，so we can be prepared!Flooding happens during heavy rains，when rivers overflow，when ocean waves comeonshore，when snow melts too fast or when dams or banks break.Flooding is the most common of all natural disasters.Hurricanes are severe tropical storms that form in the southern Atlantic Ocean，Caribbean Sea，Gulf of Mexico，and in the Pacific Ocean.Hurricanes gather heat and energy through contact with warm ocean waters.Evaporation from the sea water increases their power.Hurricanes have winds at least 74 miles per hour.When they come onto land，the heavy rain，strong winds and heavy waves can damage buildings，trees and cars. Tornadoes are nature’s most violent storms.Tornadoes must always be taken seriously. Tornadoes can be very dangerous—sometimes even deadly.They come from powerful thunderstorms and appear as moving.Tornado winds can reach 300 miles per hour.They cause damage when they land the ground.They can damage an area one mile wide and 50 miles long.While thunder won’t hurt you—lightning will! So it’s important to pay attention when you hear thunder.Thunderstorms happen mostly in summer and every thunderstorm has lightning.Lightning can strike people and buildings，which is very dangerous. Thunderstorms affect small areas when compared with hurricanes and winter storms.The typical thunderstorm is 15 miles in diameter and lasts an average of 30 minutes.A volcano is a mountain with a large opening at the top through which melting rock，steam，gases escape from time to time with violent force from inside the earth.When pressure increases，eruptions occur.Gases and rock shoot up through the opening fill the air with small pieces.Eruptions can cause lava flows，hot ash flows，mudslides，falling ash and floods，which is likely to knock down entire forests，cause floods and earthquakes.Fresh volcanic ash can cause damage to the lungs of older people，babies and people with respiratory problems.Terrible Natural Disasters答案：1.disasters 2.Hurricanes 3.eruptions 4.waves 5.rain 6.deadly 7.Trees 8.area 9.buildings 10.forests。

After breakfast Dad always announced: “Go ahead everyone.I'll take care of the dishes！” With t hat my mother disappeared into the folds of the Sunday paper. Off_came_the_suit_coat_he_had_worn_to_church_that_morning._Up_went_the_shirtslee ves._On_went_that_apron. For the next hour Dad did the dishes, singing songs like“Who Put the Chow in Mrs. Murphy's Chowder”？I suppose it was strange for a father to wear an apron—even one with race cars—but I never thought much of it until that Sunday when we walked home from church together.“Tommy”， he said，“There comes a time in every b oy's life when he must take on responsibilities．” “Responsibilities？” I asked. “Yes. It's time you took a greater role in the household. Starting today, I want you to do the dishes on Sunday morning so your mother and I can relax.” “The dishes？” “Anything wrong with taking over the dishes？”I started to say something about a man's job, but Iknew immediately that my protests would fall on deaf ears.I didn't taste a bit of breakfast that morning. My father announced to my mother, “Let's go to read the paper, honey.Our oldest son has generously offered to fill the position.”So this was what my life had come to.People often say there is a special chemistry between a father and a son. He came back into the kitchen just as I was about to storm out. In his right hand was the old apron.“I want you to have thi s, Tommy. It'll keep your clothes from getting wet.” And before I could do anything, he had put that apron on me. “Thanks, Son. Your mother and I appreciate this.”With that he disappeared into the Sunday paper. I looked down at the apron.It had seen better days.I could see my dad reaching for the dishes. Soon I was singing about Mrs. Murphy's Chowder.16．What is the main purpose of the underlined sentences in the first paragraph?A．To show the unwillingness of his father when doing dishes.B．To instruct the main steps of how his father does dishes.C．To emphasize his father's clumsy way of doing dishes.D．To stress the enjoyment and happiness of his father's doing dishes.17．What does the underlined word “responsibilities” in the second paragraph refer to?A．Taking care of the brothers.B．Making progress academically.C．Doing all the dishes.D．Washing the apron with race cars.18．What did the author mean by saying “People often say there is a special chemistry between a father and a son” in the fourth paragraph?A．Mind acts upon mind.B．Like father like son.C．A child is better unborn than untaught.D．Obedience is the first duty of a boy.19．How did the author feel at the end of the passage?A．Proud. B．Enjoyable.C．Surprised. D．Regretful.BAll over the world, libraries have begun the Herculean task of making faithful digital copies of the books, images and recordings that preserve the intellectual effort of humankind. For armchair scholars, the work promises to bring such a wealth of information to the desktop that the present Internet may seem amateurish in retrospect. …Librarians see three clear benefits to going digital. First, it helps them preserve rare and fragile objects without denying access to those who wish to study them. The British Library, for example, holds the only medieval manuscript of Beowulf in London. Only qualified scholars were allowed to see it until Kevin S. Kiernan of the University of Kentucky scanned the manuscript with three different light sources(revealing detail not normally apparent to the naked eye) and put the imagesup on the Internet for anyone to peruse(细读). Tokyo's National Diet Library is similarly creating highly detailed digital photographs of 1，236 woodblock prints, scrolls and other materials it considers national treasures so that researchers can scrutinize them without handling the originals.A second benefit is convenience. Once books are converted to digital form, patrons can retrieve them in seconds rather than minutes. Several people can simultaneously read the same book or view the same picture. Clerks are spared the chore of reshelving. And libraries could conceivably use the Internet to land their virtual collections to those who are unable to visit in person.The third advantage of electronic copies is that they occupy millimeters of space on a magnetic disk rather than meters on a shelf. Expanding library buildings is increasingly costly. The University of California at Berkeley recently spent $46 million on an underground addition to house 1.5 million books—an average cost of $30 per volume. The price of disk storage, in contrast, has fallen to about $2 per 300­page publication and continues to drop.20．The best title for this passage would be “________”．A．Three Benefits of LibrariesB．Libraries Going DigitalC．Space­saving E­learningD．Security of Electronic Reading21．Which paragraph(s) in the text offer(s) further explanation of the central idea?A．Paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 B．Paragraphs 3 and 4C．Paragraphs 2 and 4 D．Paragraph 422．Which one of the following is mentioned as an advantage of e­libraries?A．Old manuscripts can be moved more easily.B．Materials can be examined without being touched.C．Fewer staff will be required in libraries.D．Libraries will be able to move underground.23．What does the word “scrut inize” probably mean?A．Keep for a while. B．Reprint.C．Restore. D．Examine carefully.Ⅲ.短文填词I started to learn English at the age of seven.

One very cold, wet night at about 3∶30 a.m., there was a 1 on the front door of our house. A young man, wet from 2 to toe, explained that he had 3 out of petrol about 30 km up the road. He had left his pregnant(怀孕的)wife and his two children 4 at the car and said that he would hitchhike(搭便车)back. Once I had 5 a can with petrol, I took him back to his car where his two-year-old and four-year-old children were both 6 , saying that they were cold.
