B“Earthquake!” The word flashed in my brain. A roaring sound filled my ears. I tried to slide beneath my desk. The desk did a wild tap dance, slipping and sliding towards the centre of the room. I twisted my body and grabbed at the windowsill behind me, somehow kicking free of my dancing chair. I tried to stand. My legs skated away as if on a bucking escalator.My fingers shook, grasped and held the windowsill tightly. Somewhere through the roar sounded the terrified scream of some wounded animal. I looked behind me andtried to steady my gaze on the other kids but the scene was a dizzy nightmare. Some of the class were sitting in the middle of the room, surrounded by chairs and desks. One girl was screaming. A boy was trying to claw his way across the floor to the door in a crazy overarm crawl.My grip froze me to the windowsill.I cried aloud, “I’m going to die. I’m going to die. Save me. I’m not ready to die. I’m not ready!”I hunched forward on my knees and pressed my face against my clenched fingers. I looked at the backs of my fingers and stupidly noticed the fragile pale hairs growing out of the pores. The fingers would soon cease to exist. Somehow the impending horror of my death was too terrible to even cry about.Suddenly, I became aware that the rocking had ceased. Perhaps I wasn’t going to die.(5) The roaring sound was made by ________.A. a wounded animalB. people screamingC. children runningD. an earthquake(6) When the narrator clenches his fingers he is________.A. afraidB. angryC. injuredD. impatient(7) Paragraph 2 describes the________.A. injuries suffered by the narratorB. effects of a bad nightmareC. disorder in the classroomD. narrator’s fear of death(8) At the end of the passage there is a feeling of ________.A. panicB. hopeC. sorrowD. excitement答案：(5) -(8) D A C B解析：(5) 细节理解题。

CNow many young people are travelling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.Kristina Wegscheider from California first travelled alone when she was at college and believed that it was something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone. ” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go travelling last year. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person, ” said the 30-year-old. Richa rdson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”, which “makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything”. He said, “The feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try. ”The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said, “Only by going alone in silencecan one truly get into the heart of the wilderness. ”(9) Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?A. Travelling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.B. It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.C. It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.D. Travelling abroad helps people to find new things.(10) Travelling alone is challenging because ________.A. you have to make things on your ownB. it is hard for you to prove yourself to othersC. you depend on yourself whatever happensD. it will finally build your character(11) What can we infer about Chris Richardson?A. He started travelling at an early age.B. He was once shot in the arm.C. He used to work as a salesman.D. His website inspired others a lot.(12) What is the best title for the passage?A. Travel AbroadB. Travel UnaccompaniedC. Travel LightD. Travel Wide and Far答案：(11) - (12) A C C B解析：(9) 细节理解题。

She noticed that the woman asked the man for the direction. He told her that he did not know. Galaxy decided to help them. She had learned the sign language when she served as a volunteer in the deaf and mute (聋哑) school. Then she showed the woman the direction and left her email address to them in case they needed her help later.She received an email from that man the next day. Kazrim was his name. Galaxy replied his mail sincerely，They both started chatting online soon after and began seeing each other. Although they only communicated with the sign language, it never bothered her.Galaxy was fond of him gradually. Obviously, Kazrim was the same too. He presented Galaxy with a bunch of sunflowers and asked her sincerely, “Are you willing to be my girlfriend？”Galaxy was pleasantly surprised. She requested him to give her some time to persuade her parents.As she had expected，her parents were very angry after they had learned of their love story.Galaxy explained，“Kazrim is an excellent and a very optimistic person. He has a very positive attitude towards life and work. He cares for others always. He is 100% better than the normal. Moreover, the mute is still a human being. He should possess a perfect and wonderful love. ”Her parents asked to see him，then. The very worried Galaxy took Kazrim home a few days later. When they were on the train，Kazrim told her，“I'm going to tell your parents that I'll be looking after you well with all my life！” Galaxy was deeply moved.As soon as they had entered the house，Galaxy introduced him to her parents. She said，“This is Kazrim.”Just right after her speech，an unbelievable thing happened. Kazrim threw the gift away and held her in his arms tightly.He said. “You can talk？”It was the same question that Galaxy wanted to ask，too.The four people were shocked all of a sudden.

It brings us sweet smelling flowers, fresh fruit and vegetables. But you can get more from your garden.Gardening helps to keep healthy. Today's people sit indoors for too long and don't get much exercise. When you garden, you have to movearound. It's a good chance for you to exercise your body by watering flowers or doing some digging. Besides, when you are in your garden, you can feel the warm sunshine. This means you are getting Vitamin D．It helps your bodies use calcium (钙), which is necessary to keep your bones strong.It gets them off computers, televisions and phones. Gardening can be a great teacher to teach children about nature and healthy eating. It can also help them to understand the meaning of “No pains, no gains.”Gardening is a great way to meet people and build relationships. When you are gardening, you are outdoors. So it is a perfect time to communicate with your neighbors. Most people love to talk about their hobbies and so do gardeners. They usually enjoy showing people what they are growing. And most enjoy sharing advice and stories about their gardens.8．When it's ________，you can get Vitamin D in your garden.

He was asking locals about unique Philippine fruit or buying some souvenirs for his audience, playing the role of an online tour guide.The COVID 19 has led to a huge recession in the tourism industry but live steaming might be a way for the tourism market to seek for survival. Many well known museums and historical sites in China have rolled out a series of online exhibitions and live streaming for people trapped at home. Though travelling seems to be hard to realize recently, live streaming provides an outlet for people's free time.Zang Yue goes by “Boracay Iceman” because he owned a travel agency and a spa at Boracay, one of Philippine top tourist attractions and amongthe areas that were hit by the COVID 19. He started live streaming on Fliggy, a travel app of China's Taobao, from February 23 since the COVID 19. “One of my business partners introduced me to live streaming and there will be a payment from the app，” Zang recalled，“so why not try？”China has become one of the largest marketplace for live streaming with a large number of users being able to make profitable careers from it. Whether it is a real tour display or trip experience sharing with viewers at home, the interactivity of live streaming is a great way to keep consumers interested.Zang currently planned one or two live streaming a day during his trip to Davao City.

UNIT 4 NATURAL DISASTERS一、阅读理解AA gentle Labrador named Body won the Palm Dog Award of the Cannes Film festival on Friday, a pat on the back (鼓励) for his wonderful movie performance.Body starred in White God by Kernel Mundruczo. The lead character is Hagen—a role played by Body, who is thrown out by his family and picked up by a man who trains him to be a fighting dog. At the film festival, Body had his photos taken, walked the red carpet and was invited onto the stage. The Palm Dog Award is a play on Golden Palm, the Cannes Festival's top prize. "What an honour!" said Palm Dog organizer Toby Rose. It has been a golden year for dogs on films, Rose said. Roxy Mievile, who stars in his film Adieu au Language and Yves Saint Laurent's French Bulldog Moujik appears in Saint Laurent by director Bertrand Bonello. An English sheepdog appears in David Cronenberg's movie of Hollywood, Maps to the Stars. "It was the biggest and best range (等级) of dog performances I think I've ever know," Rose told the reporter.Because of the great number of dogs on screen, White God has got the first place. In its opening scene, 250 dogs, none of them was created by computer simulation (模拟). Most of the dogs used in the film were rescued in real life from an animal shelter, and then they were picked up by filmmakers and their friends. Although Body was not on hand to accept the award, the Hungarian director accepted the bone prize on his behalf, saying it was an "interesting" experience to work with his dog stars. "He lives in Los Angeles," he said of Body, promising to send the bone to his trainer.1.The author tells readers that Body ______.A. is a very famous Hungarian directorB. has starred in a lot of wonderful filmsC. is a dog once thrown away by his biological motherD. walked the red carpet and had photos taken2.Which movie is directed by the Hungarian director?A.

Body plays the main role called Hagen in the filmB. Body's prize is valuable and worth a lot of moneyC. the 250 dogs in the film are all from an animal shelterD. the Palm Dog Award is the Cannes Festival's top prizeBTea is an important part of Chinese tradition. Tea has very close relationship to Chinese culture.It is said that Chinese tea was discovered by King Shen Nong. People say that he lived 5,000 years ago. One summer day, while he was visiting a faraway part of his country, he felt very thirsty. The servants began to make water hot enough to turn into gas for him to drink. Dried leaves from a near plant fell into the water. The king drank some, and found it could make him feel less tired. Also as a scientist, Shen Nong was interested in the new drink. And so, tea was created in 2737 BC.Drinking tea has many advantages. It makes people feel less tired, clears heat inside the human body and helps people lose weight. As you add a cup of tea to your daily life, please check the following helpful advice.•Drink it hot. Tea oxidizes (氧化) quickly, so it is suggested that you drink it hot.•Do not drink too much strong tea. It will probably be harmful to your stomach and make you feel sick if you make the tea too strong.•The best time to drink tea is between meals. It may not make you have a strong wish to eat when your stomach is empty, or cause stomachache when your stomach is full.•Do not drink with medicine. It may change the medical result. You can drink tea two hours after you take medicine.•Green tea is the best choice for office workers. Why?

高考英语一轮总复习必修第一册Unit4NaturalDisasters提能训练(含答案及范文)

高考英语一轮总复习必修第一册提能训练：Unit 4 Natural DisastersⅠ.阅读理解A(2024·浙江1月高考题) On September 7, 1991, the costliest hailstorm (雹暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary's southern suburbs. As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones. But farmers in east-central Alberta—downwind of the hail project flights—worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.Norman Stienwand, who farms in that area, has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years. “Basically, the provincial government is letti ng the insurance companies protect the Calgary-Edmonton urban area from hail，” Mr. Stienwand says, “but they're increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a cloud physicist who works for Weath er Modification Inc. of Fargo, North Dakota. “We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air, so we cannot be causing drought，” Dr. Krauss says. “In fact, we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.”One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes (龙卷风) form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas，” Dr. Doswell says. “Doe s cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind? No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.”Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “it would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.语篇导读：本文是一篇说明文。

So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members.Fragile (易碎的) items, like those made of glass are easily broken and should usually be placed on a lower surface, near the ground instead of placing them on cupboards higher up. Never place them near your bed, sofas and other furniture where you would be sitting or lying down. When there is a strong movement, these pieces will fall on the floor directly and not on you.There is a strong chance of short circuits (短路) and fire outbreaks during an earthquake. Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.During an earthquake, lie beneath an object that is not easily damaged. Do not go near objects that could directly fall on you. Never use the elevator to go down. Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Research has shown that most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go out. Use the staircases at all times.If you are outdoors, do not take shelter under a tree, streetlights, electric poles or tall buildings. If you are driving, stop your car and stay in a safe place. Do not park your car under a tree or any tall object.If trapped in debris (碎片) , cover your mouth with a handkerchief orclothing. Tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can find you. Use a whistle if one is available. Never shout for help. Shouting can cause you to breathe in dangerous dust. Do not light a match because you may burn yourself. Do not move about or kick up dust.32.What does the underlined word "calamities" mean in the passageA. Disasters.B. Scenes.C. Conditions.D. Sciences.33.During the earthquake, people are advised to .A. go out of the building at onceB. drive to a safe place quicklyC. take shelter under a treeD. turn off electricity and gas immediately34.What should people NOT do when they are trapped in debrisA. Tap on a pipe or wall for help.B. Cover their mouths with handkerchiefs.C. Light a match for warmth.D. Use a whistle for help.35.What’s the passage mainly aboutA. The damage caused by earthquakes.B. The rescue work after earthquakes.C. How to prevent earthquakes.D. What to do during earthquakes.五．七选五“The calm before the storm” is a very familiar expression. It is usuallyused to describe a peaceful period just before a very stressful situation or a tense argument. 36 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 37 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.38 So once it covers an area, it causes a calm period before the storm.39 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.40A. 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.六．完形填空People say that diving can be addictive, yet I was (41)________ about it when my friends and I began to plan our trip to learn scuba diving.

(精选试题附答案)高中英语必修一Unit4NaturalDisasters题型总结及解题方法

(每日一练)（精选试题附答案）高中英语必修一Unit4NaturalDisasters题型总结及解题方法单选题1、With much heat __________ from the sun, the panels __________ it into energy __________the building. A．capturing; dominate; poweredB．capturing; convert; poweredC．captured; dominate; poweringD．captured; convert; powering答案：D考查过去分词、现在分词和固定搭配。

句意：利用从太阳捕获的大量热量，电池板将其转化为能源，为建筑提供动力。

分析句子可知，第一空作宾补，表示与宾语heat之间的被动关系，所以应填其过去分词形式captured；第二空填谓语动词，句子描述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时，convert...into...为固定搭配，表示“将......转换为......”，符合语境，dominate“统治，支配”，不合语境；第三空填现在分词powering作后置定语，表示“提供动力”，修饰名词energy，表示与其逻辑主语energy之间的主动关系。

故选D项。

2、That is the famous university _____my friend and I visited last summer vacation. A．whereB．whichC．thatD．what答案：C考查定语从句关系词。

句意：那是我和朋友去年暑假参观的著名大学。

此处是定语从句，先行词等于关系词，先行词是the famous university，指物，在从句中做宾语，因先行词在主句中作表语，只能用关系代词that。

故选C项。

3、We sell a lot of products abroad and the opportunity to open-up markets in regions ________ we don’t currently sell a lot to is a great one. A．whereB．thatC．whatD．when答案：B考查定语从句。
