Unit5 The power of nature过关检测 (时间:90分钟满分:120分).阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共12小题;每小题2.5分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。A(导学号51970073)A sandstorm,known as a dust storm,is exactly what it sounds like:a very strong windstorm,especially in the desert,that carries clouds of sand or dust,and greatly reduces visibility(可见度).This wind is usually caused by convection currents,which are created by intense heating of the ground,and is usually strong enough to move entire sand dunes.Air is unstable when heated,and this instability(不稳定性) in the air will cause the mixture of higher winds with winds in the lower atmosphere,producing strong surface winds.Sandstorms can disturb travels,and sometimes destroy whole roads,and dry flat areas,such as parts of the western United States.Similar dust storms can be found on Mars,and are thought to be seasonal.Today,the destruction of forests and too much farming of farmland can cause a sandstorm problem.Over-grazing and too much use of water resources can also cause sandstorms.In the United States of America,sandstorms are rare because of the lack of large deserts and more importantly the development of proper agricultural techniques.The last recorded destructive sandstorm in American history was the Dust Bowl,one that occurred on July 16,1971 and was widely recorded by meteorologists(气象学家).To protect themselves from sandstorms,some people wear protective suits.Special equipment can be fixed in some cars to prevent sand from getting into the engine.Sand storms can cause coughs,and the sand and dust have also been known to be able to carry “infectious diseases”.Sand particles,unlike dust ones,will block air passages,and cause the person who breathes them in to choke.Dust particles may cause an allergic(过敏的) reaction.1.Which of the following plays the biggest part in forming sandstorms?A.The instability of the sand.B.The instability of the wind.C.The speed of the wind.D.The intense heating of the ground.答案:D解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“This wind is usually caused by convection currents,which are created by intense heating of the ground.”可知因为地面极度的热量导致了空气流,从而产生风,风再吹动沙丘导致了沙尘暴的产生。2.From the second paragraph,we can learn that at present .A.sandstorms are more often seen on MarsB.human activities are the main cause of sandstormsC.farming brings more harm than good to humansD.sandstorms have led to the lack of clear water resources答案:B解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中提到的森林砍伐、过度农耕、过度放牧和对水资源的过度使用,这些都是人类的行为,也是现今导致沙尘暴的主要原因,因此正确选项为B项。3.The last paragraph mainly talks about .A.how to protect oneself against sandstormsB.the harm that sandstorms can do to peoples healthC.the differences between sandstorms and dust onesD.how to lead a normal life when a sandstorm happens答案:B解析:主旨大意题。根据最后一段的内容可知重点讲的是沙尘暴对人类健康的危害。4.The author will most probably agree that .A.sandstorms are greatly harmful to human beingsB.humans havent thought of any way to deal with sandstorms C.deaths caused by sandstorms are increasing all the timeD.there will soon be no sandstorms in the USA答案:A解析:推理判断题。根据第二段和末段可知A项正确;B、C两项在文章中没有证据支持;由第二、三段可知D项错误。 B(导学号51970074)Avalanches(雪崩)are one of those natural disasters that can cause great damage and only Mother Nature knows when and where theyre going to occur.Even with modern technology its still impossible to know exactly when or where one is going to occur.Mountain climbers are wise to be careful,as avalanches kill many of them each year.The physics of how and why an avalanche occurs is complex.There are times of higher probability.During the year,the transition from winter to spring will cause some snow and ice to melt,which may trigger avalanches.Also at daybreak there is a higher probability due to the temperature change.While climbers hike up slopes(斜坡),some distance between the climbers should be kept.If an avalanche occurs,then there will be fewer lives lost and a higher probability that someone will be able to seek help.Since an accident is more likely to happen when a top layer of snow is loose,avoid areas where heavy snow or rain has recently occurred.Try to choose areas that you are familiar with and stay in areas with rocks,bushes and trees.Trees and bushes allow snow to pile up and keep the layers stable(稳定的).If an avalanche occurs,trees will take the impact of the snow,so there is a better chance of being safe.Climbers must also pay attention to the degree of the slope.Avalanches wont occur on level ground and there is little snowfall on very steep areas.The greatest danger is in areas where the slope is between 25 and 40 degrees.Remember that,if you get stuck in an avalanche,there is no car hire available to take you to the nearest airport.5.What do you know from the first paragraph?A.Many mountain climbers die of avalanches each year.B.Of all the natural disasters,avalanches cause the greatest damage.C.Most climbers who meet avalanches die for not paying enough attention to avalanches.D.With the development of science and technology,avalanches can now be predicted exactly.答案:A解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“.avalanches kill many of them each year.”可知A项正确。6.The underlined word “trigger” in the second paragraph probably means “”.A.make use ofB.result inC.put an end toD.slow down答案:B解析:词义猜测题。第二段主要讲雪崩多发的时间,故可以判断冬春季节交替时引起的雪和冰的融化会导致雪崩的发生。7.Why is there a higher probability that an avalanche occurs at daybreak?A.Because daybreak is the coldest time of the day in the mountains.B.Because it often snows heavily in the mountains at daybreak.C.Because temperature changes at daybreak.D.Because there is no snow at daybreak.答案:C解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中“Also at daybreak there is a higher probability due to the temperature change.”可知C项正确。8.What is the best title for the passage?A.How to Predict an AvalancheB.The History of Mountain ClimbingC.How to Choose Safe Mountain Climbing AreasD.Safety Tips about Avalanches for Mountain Climbers答案:D解析:主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了登山者如何避免、应付雪崩。C(导学号51970075)VolcanoesThe ground we walk on seems firm,but deep under the earth and under the sea the rocks change and move.In some parts of the world there are “fire mountains”,which we call volcanoes.From time to time they burst open and throw out fire and burning ashes.These volcanoes are very dangerous.Hong Kong of China does not have any volcanoes but there are many volcanoes in Indonesia and Philippines.There is also a famous mountain near Tokyo,Japan,which is a volcano too.Its name is Mount Fuji.For much of the year,it is covered with snow.One of the most famous volcanoes which erupted in recent times was Krakatoa,on an island in Indonesia.The first explosion took place on 20th May,1883,but the biggest eruption did not come until the 26th and 27th August of that year.The people on the island were used to the explosions by that time,so they were completely unprepared for this terrible happening.Almost all the people on the island died and the explosion also made huge waves in the sea,which drowned(淹死)many people on the other island nearby.After the eruption was over,people saw that the whole northern part of the island had completely disappeared.Scientists said that 15 cubic(立方) kilometers of rocks and ashes were thrown up in the explosion.The noise of the explosion was heard nearly 5,000 kilometers away in the middle of the Indian Ocean,and the city of Jakarta was completely dark for about two and a half hours.9.Mount Fuji is famous just because .A.it is covered with snow for the whole yearB.it is a volcanoC.it is near TokyoD.it is in Japan答案:B解析:从第二段的“There is also a famous mountain near Tokyo,Japan,which is a volcano too.Its name is Mount Fuji.For much of the year,it is covered with snow.”看出富士山出名主要是因为它是一座火山。10.The people near Krakatoa were unprepared when it had its biggest explosion because people there .A.had never met any explosions of the volcano beforeB.were used to the explosions by that time C.didnt want to leave their island D.could do nothing but wait答案:B解析:从第三段的“The people on the island were used to the explosions by that time,so they were completely unprepared for this terrible happening.”看出当地的人们已经习惯了它的爆发,因此,当最大的爆发发生时,人们并没有准备。11.People who lived 5,000 kilometers away from Krakatoa could .A.see that the 15 cubic kilometers of rocks and ashes were thrown upB.hear the noise of the explosionC.see the huge wavesD.see that Krakatoa was dark答案:B解析:从最后一段的“The noise of the explosion was heard nearly 5,000 kilometers away in the middle of the Indian Ocean”看出几乎5 000千米远的人们能够听到它的声音,故选B项;并不一定能够看到岩石和灰烬,排除A项。12.The biggest explosion made .A.all the people on the island die B.the whole island disappear C.the city of Jakarta completely dark for about two and a half hours D.huge waves in the middle of the Indian Ocean答案:C解析:从第三段的“After the eruption was over,people saw that the whole northern part of the island had completely disappeared.”中的northern part排除B项;从第三段的“.and the city of Jakarta was completely dark for about two and a half hours.”看出选C项合适。第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)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。(导学号51970076)How to teach kids responsibilityWed all like our kids to develop into responsible people.How can we help to ensure that our kids learn the lessons of responsibility?Here are some ideas:Start them with tasks when theyre young.13 They can do a lot more than you think if youre patient and creative.Encourage them to begin at an early age,and this helps them build confidence and enthusiasm for later tasks in their life.Dont use rewards with your kids.If you want your kids to develop a natural sense of responsibility,they need to learn what they do affects others not just themselves.14Use natural consequences when they make mistakes.If they keep losing their baseball glove somewhere,let them deal with the consequences.Maybe they have to ask to borrow one for the game.15 If you rescue them every time they make a mistake,theyll never learn responsibility.16This is where theyll learn it from.Take care of your stuff.Try to be on time.Theyre watching you very closely.Give them an allowance(零用钱) early in their life.Let them make their own money decisions from an early age.Theyll learn their lessons in a hurry.17A.Model responsible behavior for your kids.B.Maybe they have to buy a new one if its lost.C.Dont help them out if they run out of money.D.Train your kids to be responsible and careful.E.They wont learn that if theyre focused on what theyre going to “get”.F.Young kids have a strong desire to help out,even as young as age two.G.Theyll pick up on this belief and theyll tend to rise to the level of expectation.答案:1317
