So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members.Fragile items like those made of glass are easily broken and should usually be placed on a lower surface,

The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calcu

78、10BBCBA1115CBCBC1620ABCCA第二部分第一节A【语篇解读】本文是一篇应用文。文章简要介绍了世界上三次较为严重的地震。21答案与解析：D细节理解题。根据第二段的最后一句可知，海地发生地震后，得到了来自不同国家的资金和人民的援助。22答案与解析：C细节理解题。根据第三段中的As Saturday is a normal school day in the area.可知由于克什米尔发生地震时正是学生们上课的时间，因此很多年轻人在地震中被埋。23答案与解析：B推理判断题。根据最后一段中的.8,000 miles away from the center可知，甚至在距离震中八千英里
79、以外的南非都有一人遇难，作者借此说明此次地震之严重，波及面之广。B【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和丈夫经历龙卷风并幸存下来的故事。24答案与解析：D细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知丈夫是从电视节目上滚动的字幕(scrolling text)得到有龙卷风警告信息的。25答案与解析：C词义猜测题。根据第二段第一句“No sooner had we found coverage of the tornado than it was on top of us.(我们一发现有龙卷风到来，它就已经在我们上空了。)”，可知该词意为“到来”。26答案与解析：C细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“If
80、I had let go, Jimmy would have.into the bay.(如果我放手了，Jimmy就可能会被吹到房子后面的海湾里。)”，可知妻子用尽了全力抓住了丈夫，所以没有感到疼痛。27答案与解析：A目的意图题。通读全文，可知本文主要描述了作者和丈夫是如何经历龙卷风并幸存下来的。所以作者写此文的目的就是要与读者分享她的经历。C【语篇解读】地震是最常见的自然灾害之一，常造成巨大的损失。本文就如何在地震中保护自己及家人提出了几则忠告。28答案与解析：D考查主旨大意。根据文章第一段的最后一句“So it is wise to learn some simple safety tip
81、s to protect yourself or your family members”可知，本文讲了一些应对地震的简单的安全建议，从而可以有效地保护自己与家人。29答案与解析：B考查词义猜测。根据画线词后的“like those made of glass are easily broken”可知，画线词的意思是“易碎的”。故选B项。30答案与解析：B考查细节理解。根据文章第二段中的“Fragile items.and should usually be placed on a lower surface, near the ground instead of placing them i
82、n the cupboards higher up”可知应把那些玻璃制品放置在接近地面的较低处。故选B项。31答案与解析：D考查细节理解。根据文章第三段的最后一句“Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens”可知，当地震发生时，要设法确保立即关闭电源插头和天然气。故选D。D【语篇解读】本文是一篇调查报告。调查表明，加利福尼亚州的大树变少了，而气候变化是其中的一个主要因素。32答案与解析：A主旨大意题。第二段中通过列举一系列数字表明，加利福尼亚州的大树减少
83、的严重性，故A项正确。33答案与解析：D推理判断题。文章第三段提到了造成加利福尼亚州的大树减少的三个因素：woodcutters, housing development与aggressive wildfire control。前两个因素直接与大树的减少有关，如果能控制住，大树就不会减少；而第三个因素控制野火的措施使得加利福尼亚州的森林里满是跟大树争夺资源的小树，初衷是为了控制野火，这是好的，实则对大树不利，故D项正确(好心办坏事)。34答案与解析：C细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“.the biggest factors driving up water stress in the sta
84、te have been rising temperatures.”可知，水不足的主要原因就是气温升高(rising temperatures)，即更加温暖的气候，故C项正确。35答案与解析：A标题归纳题。本文是一篇调查报告，第一段就点出主题：California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s。后面具体分析了加利福尼亚州大树的现状、造成大树减少的原因等，A项作为标题最合适。第二节【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了繁忙的工作之余，使我们自己的心情平静的几种方法。36答案与解析：G上文提到“短短几分钟就可以创造我们需要的平静”，下
85、文提到“你可以用下面的方法在繁忙的安排中创造平静”。由此可知G项可起到承上启下的作用。37答案与解析：E根据上文“Simply walking and taking in the view is stress reducing.”可知，E项“Its a time to get stressful thoughts out of your head.”可承接上文。38答案与解析：A上句提到“我们一提到自然就会想到去开阔的地方”，空白处提出问题“但如果在城市该怎么办？”随后总结“自然随处可见”。39答案与解析：F本段主要讲用听音乐来使自己平静，F项讲音乐的作用，且选项F中有原词(music)复现。
