Coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brakes.Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something. “I'm awfully sorry，” I said and stepped forward only to run into it again.When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost.This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me.So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn't stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off.No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound.Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away.In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop. It seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus.Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did.But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by.I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one.Then I gave up.I decided to walk on to the next stop.11．The girl refused to ask for help because she thought ________．A．she might be recognizedB．asking for help looked sillyC．she was normal and independentD．being found blind was embarrassing12．After the girl got off the bus that evening, she________．A．began to runB．hit a person as usualC．hit a lamppost by accidentD．was caught by something13．At the request stop that evening, the girl________．A．stopped a big lorryB．stopped the wrong busC．made no attempt to stop the busD．was not noticed by other people14．What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus?A．Other vehicles also stopped there.B．It was unreliable for making judgments.C．More lorries than buses responded to the girl.D．It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.BPhil Moriarty, one of the most successful American swimming and diving coaches and a legend at Yale, died on Saturday in Connecticut, US.He was 98.Moriarty, who coached the United States diving team at the Rome Olympics in 1960, helped train some of his time's greatest swimmers, among them the Olympic gold medalists Don Schollander, Steve Clark, Mike Austin, John Nelson and Jeff Farrell.He also coached Olympic diving champions like Bob Clotworthy and David Browning.In 1960, Moriarty's divers won two gold and four silver medals in Rome.Moriarty had been the diving coach at Yale since 1939 when, in 1959, he succeeded Bob Kiphuth as the swimming team coach.“When I came to Yale，” Clark said, “I was a restless little boy depending on blazing speed and luck.I matured with Phil so that he didn't have to hold my hand.He let me grow and gave me confidence.”Philip Edward Moriarty was born on April 12, 1914, in New Haven.He graduated from high school in 1932. Though he did not have a college degree, he got a job teaching swimming to Yale students of his age.He also designed a revolutionary starting block that allowed backstrokers(仰泳运动员)to avoid pushing off a slippery wall.It was successful in the United States, but after three years the international federation refused to approve it．Moriarty promoted backstroke as healthy recreation for the young.When municipal authorities proposed closing public swimming pools to save money in 2008, he opposed the idea in a letter to The Stuart News, a Florida newspaper, saying athletics can help prevent youths from falling into gangs (帮派)and drifting into crime.“The only gangs on swimming teams are relay teams，”he wrote.“The only gun they see is the starter's pistol (发令枪), pointed upward, not at someone.”15．Paragraph 2 is mainly developed ________．A．by time B．by spaceC．by examples D．by comparison16．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________．A．the use of a starting block for swimmersB．the admittance of backstroke style into the OlympicsC．the acceptance of Moriarty as a swimming judgeD．the practice of pushing off a slippery wall17．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．There are criminal relay gangs on swimming teams.B．Moriarty trained a group of swimming champions like Browning.C．Moriarty had performed as a diving coach since 1939 in Kiphuth's place.D．In Moriarty's opinion, athletics can help the youths grow up healthily in society. 18．The passage is probably written to ________．A．take a different look at Moriarty's legendary lifeB．advocate promoting swimming among the youthsC．inform readers of Moriarty's death and achievementsD．describe a few swimming and diving medalists at the OlympicsⅢ.完成句子19．A meteor exploded over Russia's Ural Mountains. So far, around 1，200 peopleare reported __________________________．(injure)一颗陨石在俄罗斯乌拉尔山脉地区上空爆炸。

This was the case in many eastern European countries for several years after 1986.Scientists are putting the first spike down to the atomic bomb tests of the 1960s and 1970s where radioactive atoms were blasted into the atmosphere. Air currents caught these atoms and then distributed them around the world.They think the second spike is due to the 1986 Chernobyl disaster in which the reactor exploded in the Ukraine(乌克兰)．The effects of Chernobyl were felt locally and no effect was seen in the U．S., probably because it was too far from the disaster to have an effect.“The closer the country was to Chernobyl, the stronger the effect，”said study co-author Hagen Scherb, a biostatistician(生物统计学家) at the German Research Center for Environmental Health in Munich.More males were born relative to females in Belarus—the Ukraine's neighbour—than in France.The study is based largely on Cold War-era statistics, but the findings are highly relevant for how gender could be affected after future nuclear disasters.And in the wake of Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident experts are predicting another baby boy boom could come, especially on the U．S. West Coast.Previous radiation experiments on animals may give a clue for the increase in male births. Tests showed that radiation caused damage to the X chromosome(染色体) in sperm, Dr Scherb said.A human sperm cell contains either an X or Y chromosome, while an egg only has an X chromosome. An XY combination will become a boy, while an XX combination will be a girl.31．How many nuclear radiation accidents are mentioned in the passage?A．1.B．2.C．3.D．4.32．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．The on-the-ground incidents like Chernobyl, effected birth gender across the globe.B．There was an increase in the number of baby boys in many eastern European countries for several years after 1986.C．The Japan's nuclear accident will not effect the birth gender of the U．S. because of the long distance.D．Where radioactive material has spread, women can't give birth to children.33．How does radiation effect birth gender?A．It damages the Y chromosome in sperm.B．It stops X chromosomes and Y chromosomes combining.C．It kills baby girls before they are born.D．It damages the X chromosome in sperm.34．What does the passage mainly tell us?A．Nuclear age has led to millions of fewer baby girls being born.B．Nuclear radiation has bad effects upon people's health.C．Worries about radiation risks.D．Nuclear age helps reduce the world population.Ⅳ.完成句子阅读下列各小题，根据每句后的汉语提示，用句末括号内的英语单词完成句子。

2021届高三英语一轮复习Unit4Earthquakes课时作业新人教版必修1Ⅰ.阅读明白得A(2020·湖南六校联考)After the earthquake had stopped, when the rescuers reached the ruins of a young woman's house, they saw her dead body through the cracks. But her pose was somehow strange that she knelt on her knees like a person was worshipping(礼拜); her body was leaning forward, and her two hands were supported by an object. The collapsed house had crashed her back and her head.With so many difficulties, the leader of the rescue team put his hand through a narrow gap on the wall to reach the woman's body. He was hoping that this woman could be still alive. However, the cold and stiff body told him that she had passed away for sure.He and the rest of the team left this house and were going to search the next collapsed building. For some reasons, the team leader was driven by a compelling force to go back to the ruined house of the dead woman. Again, he knelt down and used his hand through the narrow cracks to search the little space under the dead body. Suddenly, he screamed with excitement，“A child! There is a child！”The whole team worked together; carefully they removed the piles of ruined objects around the dead woman. There was a 3monthold little boy wrapped in a flowery blanket under his mother's dead body. Obviously, the woman had made a sacrifice for saving her son. When her house was falling, she used her body to make a cover to protect her son. The little boy was still sleeping peacefully when the team leader picked him up.The medical doctor came quickly to examine the little boy. After he opened the blanket, he saw a cell phone.There was a text message on the screen. It said, “If you can survive, you must remember that I love you.” This cell phone was passed around from one hand to another. Everybody that read the message wept. “If you can survive, you must remember that I love you.” Such is the mother's love for her child!【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。

“我”和凯特是室友，但却有不同的个性。
她喜欢整洁、干净，而“我”却是个邋遢的人，东西总是到处乱扔。
一天晚上，战争终于爆发了，但是在凯特接到一个电话后，我们却都变得更加包容对方，并且悟出了相处(融洽)的关键所在。
这到底是怎么回事呢？1.What made Kate so angry one evening？A．She couldn't find her books.B．She heard the author shouting loud.C．She got the news that her grandma was ill.D．She saw the author's shoes beneath her bed.答案：D 解析：推理判断题。
根据第二段中的“Take your shoes away！Why under my bed！”可以得知，凯特那天晚上生气是因为作者把鞋子放在了她的床下。
A项意为“她找不到自己的书了”，文章并未提及；B项意为“她听到作者大喊大叫”，双方爆发战争后才互相朝对方大喊，这并不是凯特生气的原因，而是彼此生气的表现；C项意为“她得知自己的奶奶病了”，这是凯特接到的电话的内容，而不是她生气的原因。
2.The author tidied up the room most probably because ________.A．she was scared by Kate's angerB．she hated herself for being so messyC．she wanted to show her careD．she was asked by Kate to do so答案：C 解析：推理判断题。
根据第三段作者从电话中得知，凯特的奶奶病了，凯特盖上被子伤心地哭泣。
由本段最后两句可看出，作者认为自己应该和凯特一起面对，心里越来越同情凯特。
凯特是个爱整洁的人，而且在此之前因为作者把鞋子乱放在她的床下而生气，所以作者主动去打扫房间，想以此来表达自己对凯特的关心。
3.How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed？A．By analyzing causes.B．By showing differences.C．By describing a process.D．By following time order.答案：B 解析：结构理解题。
概括第一段可看出，本段主要运用了对比的手法，通过介绍两个人对物品的存放等事项来说明“我”与凯特的不同之处，故B项正确。
A项“分析原因”；C项“描述过程”；D项“按照时间顺序”。
