A(河南开封高一期末)TheWorld’sDeadliestBeachesDangerous sea creatures,big waves,and air pollution are just some of the many things you need to take caution to when visiting the world’s deadliest beaches.CapeTribulaton,AustraliaCape Tribulaton is said to be unsafe due to its huge amount of dangerous animals.There are tons of jellyfish and it is not safe to swim near the mouths of the rivers because of crocodile warnings.Poisonous snakes and cassowaries have also been found.According to TheCairnsPost,a 46-year-old woman is believed to have been taken by a crocodile while swimming at Thornton beach,a beach in Cape Tribulaton.Gansbaai,SouthAfricaAlso called “Shark Alley”,this beach is known as the world of the great white sharks.It is so filled with sharks that they have actually created shark tours for tourists.The locals claim that visitors have a 99 percent chance of seeing a great white between April to September.In a man going diving was attacked by two sharks.His body never returned to the surface.Nazare,PortugalAlso known as “Portugal’s Monster”,Nazare is a wonderful vacation destination with some of the biggest and deadliest waves ever surfed.“In Nazare,” a Hawaiian surfer told TheTimes,“the ocean is known as a place of death,not of riding waves.” Nazare’s waves are created much larger due to the Nazare Canyon.They are so dangerous that big-wave surfer Maya Gabeira was nearly killed during a wipeout in .SnakeIsland,BrazilSnake Island,also known as Ilha de Queimada Grande,is home to the “world’s deadliest snake”—the golden lancehead viper.Itspoison

Greece.The girl was taken to a hospital in an emergency vehicle.Sounds of cheering could be heard from rescue workers and people watching nearby.Health Minister Fahrettin Koca identified the girl on Twitter as 3-year-old Ayda Gezgin.The child had been trapped inside the rubble(瓦砾) for 91 hours.She was the 107th person to have been rescued from collapsed buildings since Friday,the day the quake

then called for silence.He later found the girl in a small space next to a dishwasher.The girl waved at him,told him her name and saidthat she was okay.Aksoy said,“I got goose bumps(起鸡皮疙瘩) and my colleague Ahmet cried,” he told HaberTurk television.Ibrahim Topal,of the Humanit arian Relief Foundation said,“My colleague and I looked at each other like ‘Did you hear that,too?’ We listened again.There was a very weak voice saying something like ‘I’m here.’ Then we shut everything down,the machines,and started listening again.And th ere really was a voice.”Health ministry officials said the girl was in good condition but would be kept under observation.She asked for a special meal of meatballs and a yogurt drink on her way to the hospital,the state-operated Anadolu Agency reported.Another 3-year-old girl and a 14-year-old girl were also pulled out alive recently from collapsed buildings in Izmir,Turkey’s third-largest city.At least 111 people died in the

hit Turkish city of Izmir.C.The rescue of a 3-year-old girl after being trapped for four days.D.The present condition of the girl saved from the earthquake.C(山东枣庄高一期末)Australia’s bush fires are threatening the country’s uniqu e wildlife —from koalas to native birds to bees —and researchers fear that some species are being pushed to the brink of extinction.The fires have killed at least 26 people,burned thousands of homes and could shave as much as 0.4% of economic growth,according to some eore than 13,000 head of livestock have been killed by the fires in New South Wales state,where more than 20,000 square miles of land has been burned.The fires threaten to rage on into February—summer-time in Australia—or longer.Scientists say at least six species are in danger.“There’s great concern that these fires may have pushed species closer to extinction or potentially over,” said Deakin University wildlife ecologist Euan Ritchie.“We won’t know until we get into the areas,” he said.Some scientists are concerned about a metallic-green bee that lives exclusively in areas that have been ravaged by fire,along Australia’s east coast and on Kangaroo Island in thesouth.Researchers suspect the green carpenter bee has been wiped out on Kangaroo Island.“The species is likely to be in terrible conditions,as all of its habitat has now either burnt or is threatened by fire,” said Katja Hogendoorn,a bee expert at the University of Adelaide,who has been working for half a decade to preserve the population of green carpenter bees on Kangaroo Island.8.What can we learn from paragraph 1?A.The wildlife is well protected in Australia.B.The fires also damage Australian economy.C.The bush fires have lasted for a long time.D.The bush fires are frequent in Australia.9.How might

heavy rain and strong winds,Cyclone(飓风) Amphan hit the coast of India and Bangladesh on a Wednesday afternoon,destroying homes and other buildings,after forcing millions to leave home.The storm broke out earlier in the week in the Bay of Bengal,the first “super cyclone” to break there since 1999.Though the storm wasn’t as stron g as it had been when it landed,Cyclone Amphan still arrived with a force the same as a Category 3 storm(3级风暴).With wind speed of 105 miles an hour,Amphan went through villages along the coast.Most people on the coast live in very simple houses.The cyclone destroyed many of these houses,blowing the roofs off and washing the walls away.Amphan also blew down trees and damaged electricity,telephone and Internet lines in many places along its path.The cyclone also caused huge and sudden rises in the sea level,known as “storm surges”.These surges were as high as 16 feet and pushed seawater in,ruining houses and farms along the way.Although the cyclone had terrible power,it might not have been as deadly as people first feared.That’s mainly because governments took action before the cyclone hit.The governments in both India and Bangladesh were using schools as shelters.Several of the shelters were used before for patients with COVID-19.More shelters were needed than usual,because the governments were trying to fill the shelters only half full to allow enough space between people.Because of the disease,many people didn’t want to depart from their homes.This was especially true in India.Part of the reason was fear of catching the disease,but it was also because many people had lost so much during the country’s lockdown(封锁).12.What do we know about Cyclone Amphan?A.It followed a Category 3 storm.B.It slowed down when it landed.C.It wasn’t as strong as a Category 3 storm.D.It was the strongest ever in the Bay of Bengal.13.What is the third paragraph mainly about?A.The causes of Cyclone Amphan.B.The places Cyclone Amphan hit.C.The damage caused by Cyclone Amphan.D.The influence of Cyclone Amphan on the sea.14.What did the governments do to deal with Cyclone Amphan?A.They paid special attention to patients.B.They advised people to keep enough space.C.They built many new shelters before it hit.D.They moved many people to safety before it hit.15.Which can replace the underlined part “depart from” in the l ast paragraph?A.Leave.B.Share.C.Sell.D.Build.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

help at home.If you give your children the impression that they can never do anything quite right，then they will regard themselves as unfit or unable persons.Unless children believe they can succeed，they will never become totally independent.My daughter Carla’s fifthgrade teacher made every child in her class feel special.When students received less than a prefect test score，she would point out what they had mastered and declared firmly they could learn what they had missed.You can use the same technique when you evaluate our child’s work at home.Don’t always scold and give lots of praise instead.Talk about what he has done right，not about what he hasn’t done.If your child completes a difficult task，promise him a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad.Learning is a process of trying and failing and trying and succeeding.If you teach your children not to fear a mistake or failure，they will learn faster and achieve success at last.1．The whole passage deals with ________.A．social education B．school educationC．family education D．preschool education2．The author thinks that ________.A．there is no way to get children to help at homeB．the more encouragement and praise you give，the more responsible and helpful children will becomeC．it is very difficult to make children responsible for houseworkD．children can be forced to help with housework3．The passage gives us a good sug gestion about how to evaluate your child’s work at home.That is to ________.A．praise his successB．promise him a tripC．give him a punishmentD．promise him a ball game4．The author advises readers to ________.A．learn from himself，for he has a good way of teachingB．take pride in Carla’s fifthgrade teacherC．do as what Carla’s teacher did in educating childrenD．follow Carla’s example

If an earthquake happens, it may cause many deaths, injuries and damage. So you need a good preparation ahead of time. Decide how and where your family will get together if separated. Choose an out-of-state friend or relative that the family members can call after the quake to report where they are and how they are. Know the safe places in each room: under the strong tables, desks, or against inside walls. Keep enough food, water and other things, including a flashlight, a radio, medicines and clothing.During the earthquake, you should keep a clear head and never be too nervous to know what to do. Protect your head and neck with your arms. If possible, take a book, a pillow or any other things to protect yourself from falling glass andruins. If you are indoors, you must immediately lie under any strong furniture. If outdoors, move to an open area away from trees, buildings, walls or power poles. If you are in a narrow valley, move to the centre of it and look up for falling stones. If you are in a car, move to the side of the road and stop the car. Do not stop near buildings, power lines or on or under bridges. Stay in your car until the shaking stops.Do not move a badly injured person unless he is in great danger after the earthquake. Do not use the telephone immediately unless there is a serious injury or fire. Turn on your radio for instructions and news reports. Be prepared for aftershocks. If you want to leave your home, post a message inside your home telling your family members where you can be found.1．To prepare for an earthquake, we should make sure of ________.A．when an earthquake may happenB．the place where we can find our familyC．how to receive instructions and news reportsD．the money with which we can buy food and water2．If we are driving when an earthquake happens, we should ________.A．find a strong building to hide inB．leave the car as soon as possibleC．go on driving quickly to leave the areaD．move to the side of the road and stop there3．After an earthquake, we should ________.A．move an injured person quicklyB．use the telephone immediatelyC．turn on the TV to get news reportsD．leave a message before leaving homeBEvery summer, the Serengeti plains (平原) of Africa are worth visiting. Millions of wild animals begin their 1,800-mile journey northwards on their annual migratory (迁移的) route.In the month of November, polar bears in their thousands cross the Canadian Arctic, as they head towards the ice sheets of Hudson Bay. The sea ice that forms every winter is the key to the bear’s managing to exist, for here they hunt for seal s (海豹).The Great Bustard, one of the heaviest flying birds, migrates each year across Europe and Asia to its wintering grounds. Unluckily, these and other migratory animals are in danger from human activity.We have written several articles on climate change and the effect of rising ocean temperatures. Since 1979, ice sheets in the Arctic have gone down by 30 percent. What does this mean for polar bears? They are forced to stay on land for longer periods of time, which delays their search for food. As a result, bears today are 60 pounds lighter than what they were. Besides, smaller bears also produce weaker babies, and their chances of survival are at risk. In the plains of Africa, migratory animals like gazelles are traveling long distances for food, just to avoid falling prey (牺牲品) to humans who hunt them.In an unusual step, experts from 120 countries have agreed to protect 31 migratory mammals, fish and birds. The United Nation’s 11th annual Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS) was hel d in Quito, Ecuador. For the first time, 900 experts attended the conference, and the enthusiastic support shows the world is united in conservation (保护) efforts.What does getting on a protected list mean? Countries that have signed the agreement will be required to pass laws locally and work with other countries that fall within the animal’s migratory path. Only one animal did not make the list. The African lion was rejected (拒绝) for lack of information of the countries where it lives.4. What can we learn from the passage?A. The Great Bustard is one of the largest flying birds.B. The weight of polar bears today is lighter than what it was.C. In the 1970s, ice sheets went down by 30 percent.D. 120 experts have agreed to protect 21 migratory animals.5. Why was the African lion not included in the list from the passage?A. We don’t know which countries it lives in.B. It isn’t a migratory animal.C. Experts were not interested in this animal.D. It was not traveling long distances for food.6. The writer writes this passage aiming to __________.A. let us know about the animalsB. prevent the rare animals from dying outC. inform us of the effects of climate changeD. draw our attention to helping the migratory animals7. All these factors have probably put the migratory animals in danger EXCEPT _______.A. some human activityB. the enthusiastic support from expertsC. rising ocean temperaturesD. climate changeC“WHAT IS CIVILISATION?” asked Kenneth Clark 50 years ago in the seminal (开创性的) BBC series on the subject. “I don’t know, and I can’t define it in abstract terms, yet. But I think I can recognise it when I see it, and I’m looking at it now.” And he turned to gesture behind him, at the soaring (高耸的) Gothic towers and flying buttresses of Notre Dame.It seems inhuman to care more about a building than about people. That the sight of Notre Dame going up in flames has attracted so much more attention than floods in southern Africa which killed over 1,000 arouses understandable feelings of guilt. Yet the widespread, intense grief at the sight of the cathedral’s (大教堂) collapsing steeple is in fact profoundly human — and in a particularly 21st-century way.It is not just the economy that is global today, it is culture too. People wander the world in search not just of jobs and security but also of beauty and history. Familiarity breeds affection. A building on whose sunny steps you have rested, in front of which you have taken a selfie with your loved one, becomes a warm part of your memories and thus of yourself. That helps explain why China is in mourning —WeChat, young China’s principal (主要的) means of talking to itself, has been following the story.This visual age has endowed (赋予) beauty with new power, and social media have turned great works of art into superstars. Disaster, too, is visual. In the 24 hours after the fire started videos on social media of the burning cathedral were viewed nearly a quarter of a billion times.And it will be rebuilt. The effort to rebuild it will bring people togeth er. Within 24 hours, €600m ($677m) had been raised from businesses and rich people, and a rash of crowdfunding campaigns started.Yet the emotions the sight aroused were less about the building itself than about what losing it might mean. Notre Dame is an expression of humanity at its collective best. Its survival through 850 years of political turbulence — through war, revolution and Nazi occupation — binds the present to the past.It will never be the same, but that is as it should be. As Victor Hugo wrot e in “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”, a three-volume love-letter to the cathedral: “Great edifices (建筑物), like great mountains, are the work of centuries. Art is often transformed as it is being made...Time is the architect, the nation is the builder.”8. What can we infer according to Paragraph 1?A. Kenneth Clark is a staff (职员) in BBC.B. Kenneth Clark believes that Notre Dame is a symbol of civilization.C. Civilization is so abstract that Kenneth Clark can’t recognise it.D. Notre Dame is the subject of the BBC series.9. Why the sight of Notre Dame going up in flames has attracted so much attention according to the passage?A. Because the sunny steps in Notre Dame for people to rest on is impressive.B. Because Notre Dame has boosted the local economy.C. Because numerable people around the world has been there and left good memories.D. Because social media like WeChat in China help more people know it.10. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?A. The essence (精髓) of Notre Dame will be lost if we rebuild it.B. It is difficult to rebuild Notre Dame.C. If it were not for the fire, Notre Dame will always stay the same.D. Notre Dame will change as time goes by even without the fire.四．七选五“The calm before the storm” is a very familiar expression. It is usually used to describe a peaceful period just before a very stressful situation or a tense argument. 16. They noted that before certain storms the seas would seem to become calm and the winds would drop.But why is it often so calm before a storm? 17. According to US website HowStuffWorks, a calm period occurs because many storms, tornadoes and hurricanes draw in all the warm and damp air from the surrounding area. As this air rises into the storm clouds, it cools and acts as “ fuel for the storm ,like petrol in a car. “Once the storm has taken all the energy it can from the air, it is pushed out from the top of the storm clouds and falls back down to ground level. 18. So once it covers an area, it causes a calm period before the storm.19. First count how many seconds there are between a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder, roughly three seconds equal one kilometer. A good judgement is that if your count is below 30 seconds, you should seek shelter straight away.However, due to the complexity of storm system ,calm doesn't always go first. So, your best bet is to keep yourself updated with weather reports for any predictions regarding a coming storm in your area. 20.A. Science has given us the answer.B. There is no definite answer to the question.C. Weather reports sometimes cannot be trusted.D. British sailors coined the phrase in the late l600s.E. As the air declines, it becomes warm and dry, which is stable.F. The Weather Network has a tip for working out how far away a storm is.G. That's the most reliable way to predict the next display of nature's temper.五．完形填空Every year about 40,000 people attempt to climb Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa.
