13、own as Hank the Tank is no ordinary bear: He has used his extraordinary strength to force into at least 28 garages in South Lake Tahoe and is responsible for 152 reports of conflict behavior with the local people over the past seven months. “This smart bear does not break into a garage where trash i
14、s kept,” the police department said in a statement. “He hangs out in the neighborhood quite often because he has been continuously rewarded with food stored in garages.” The most recent incident occurred late last week, when local police officers were called to a home on Catalina Drive when Hank bro
15、ke into another garage and the police department has planned a special trapping effort to remove Hank the Tank from the neighborhood. After hes caught, it will decide whether he can be placed in a controlled habitat or whether he should be killed. “We hope that Hank can avoid the sad ending of anoth
16、er famous bear from the Tahoe area, ” it said. Like Hank the Tank, the 500-pound bear named the Safeway Bear had lost its fear of people. It was known for driving away Kings Beach get-togethers, helping itself to a birthday cake and other treats. In 2020, it was caught on camera stealing food from a
17、 grocery store at Lake Tahoes northern shore. The bear was eventually trapped and sent to a remote wild habitat in El Dorado County. Its tracking collar was found in the woods in the spring of 2021, leading biologists to hope that it had successfully gotten used to a natural diet and lost weight, al
18、lowing the collar to slip off. But the truth was very heart-breaking. The big bear was reduced to a shell of its former self and was killed at a campground where a family gathering included small children. “The action of the shooter was the most humane outcome for this bear,” said one of the biologi

21、titude to the action of the shooter?A. Opposed. B. Skeptical. C. Supportive. D. Unconcerned.参考答案：1.推理判断题。根据第二段的“This smart bear does not break into a garage where trash is kept,” the police department said in a statement. “He hangs out in the neighborhood quite often because he has been continuously
22、 rewarded with food stored in garages.”(“这只聪明的熊不会闯入存放垃圾的车库，”警察局在一份声明中说。“他经常在附近闲逛，因为它不断得到存放在车库里的食物作为奖励。”)”可推知，警方很可能建议避免把剩余的食物与垃圾混在一起。故选A。2.细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“The bear was eventually trapped and sent to a remote wild habitat in El Dorado County.(这只熊最终被困住，并被送到了位于埃尔多拉多县的一个偏远的野生栖息地)”可知，Safeway Bear被送到了El Dora
23、do County。故选A。3.推理判断题。根据倒数第三段的“Its tracking collar was found in the woods in the spring of 2021, leading biologists to hope that it had successfully gotten used to a natural diet and lost weight, allowing the collar to slip off.(2021年春天，人们在树林里发现了它的追踪项圈，这让生物学家们希望它已经成功适应了自然饮食并减肥，让项圈得以滑落)”和第二段的“But the
24、 truth was very heart- breaking. The big bear was reduced to a shell of its former self and was killed at a campground where a family gathering included small children.(但事实却非常令人心碎。这只大熊沦落为以前的自己的外壳，在一个营地被杀死，在那里，一个有孩子的家庭聚会在举行)”可知，Safeway Bear失去了在野外生活的能力，在一个宿营地被杀死了。故选B。4.推理判断题。根据最后一段的“The action of the
25、shooter was the most humane outcome for this bear,” said one of the biologists.(“射击者的行为对这只熊来说是最人道的结果，”其中一位生物学家说)”可知，这位生物学家对射击者的行为是支持的。故选C。（B）El Nio,a Spanish term for “the Christ child”,was named by South American fishermen who noticed that the global weather pattern,which happens every two to seven
26、 years,reduced the amount of fishes caught around Christmas.El Nio sees warm water,collected over several years in the western Pacific,flow back eastwards when winds that normally blow westwards weaken,or sometimes the other way round.The weather effects,both good and bad,are felt in many places.Ric
27、h countries gain more from powerful Nios,on balance,than they lose.A study found that a strong Nio in 1997-98 helped Americas economy grow by $15 billion,partly because of better agricultural harvests:farmers in the Midwest gained from extra rain.The total rise in agricultural incomes in rich countr
28、ies is greater than the fall in poor ones.But in Indonesia extremely dry forests are in flames.A multi-year drought(干旱) in south-east Brazil is becoming worse.Though heavy rains brought about by El Nio may relieve the drought in California,they are likely to cause surface flooding and other disaster
29、s.The most recent powerful Nio,in 1997-98,killed around 21,000 people and caused damage worth $36 billion around the globe.But such Nios come with months of warning,and so much is known about how they happen that governments can prepare.According to the Overseas Development Institute(ODI),however,ju
30、st 12% of disaster-relief funding in the past two decades has gone on reducing risks in advance,rather than recovery and rebuilding afterwards.This is despite evidence that a dollar spent on risk-reduction saves at least two on reconstruction.Simple improvements to infrastructure(基础设施) can reduce th
31、e spread of disease.Better sewers(下水道) make it less likely that heavy rain is followed by an outbreak of the disease of bad stomach.Stronger bridges mean villages are less likely to be left without food and medicine after floods.According to a paper in 2011 by Mr Hsiang and co-authors,civil conflict
32、 is related to El Nios harmful effectsand the poorer the country,the stronger the link.Though the relationship may not be causal,helping divided communities to prepare for disasters would at least reduce the risk that those disasters are followed by killing and wounding people.Since the poorest are
33、least likely to make up for their losses from disasters linked to El Nio,reducing their losses needs to be the priority.1.What can we learn about El Nio in Paragraph 1?A.It is named after a South American fisherman.B.It takes place almost every year all over the world.C.It forces fishermen to stop c
34、atching fish around Christmas.D.It sees the changes of water flow direction in the ocean.2.What may El Nios bring about to the countries affected?A.Agricultural harvests in rich countries fall.B.Droughts become more harmful than floods.C.Rich countries gains are greater than their losses.D.Poor coun
35、tries suffer less from droughts economically.3.The data provided by ODI in Paragraph 4 suggest that .A.more investment should go to risk reductionB.governments of poor countries need more aidC.victims of El Nio deserve more compensationD.recovery and reconstruction should come first4.What is the aut

D解析 细节理解题。第一段概括说明了厄尔尼诺现象名字的来源,发生的时间、地点、现象的成因等内容。根据文中“back eastwards”和“normally blow westwards”等关键词
37、可知D项正确。2. C解析 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中 “Rich countries gain more.”排除A项,错误点出在fall一词;B项的说法没有根据,文章中并没有做出对比;D项错在less一词,从文章第二段和第三段的说明可知,一些贫困的国家,如印度尼西亚,遭受到严重的干旱,影响了国家的经济发展。C项的题源句为第二段中“Rich countries gain more from powerful Nios, on balance, than they lose.”,句意为“总的来说,富裕国家得大于失。”3. A解析 推理判断题。题源句为第四段“According to the O
38、verseas Development Institute(ODI), however, just 12% of disaster-relief funding in the past two decades has gone on reducing risks in advance, rather than recovery and rebuilding afterwards.”句意为:然而根据海外研究所提供的数字,在过去的20年里,相比于灾后恢复和重建,只有12%的赈灾资金用于事先的减灾预防。just的内涵意义是“言其少”,因此选择A项。B、C项文章没有提及,D项弄反了作者的观点。4. D
39、解析 写作意图题。作者首先简要介绍了厄尔尼诺现象,列举了其危害性,进而引出作者写作的真实意图:厄尔尼诺现象是可预报、可预防的,因此政府部门以及有关人员应该积极行动起来做好灾害的防范工作。A、B、C三项都属于以偏概全,以事实细节代替写作目的。（C）A 1,400yearold Peruvian method of diverting (转向) water could supply up to 100 million cubic meters of waterequal to 40,000 Olympicsize swimming pools worth of water to Lima each
40、 year, according to a new study published in Nature Sustainability. Its one example of how ancient methods could support existing modern ones in countries without enough water.More than a billion people across the world face water shortages. Manmade reservoirs store rainwater and water overflow for
41、use during drier times. But reservoirs are costly, require years to plan and can still fail to meet water needs.Perus capital, Lima, depends on water from rivers high in the Andes Mountains. It takes only a few days for water to flow down to the city. So when the dry season begins in the mountains,
42、the water supply quickly disappears. The city suffers shortages of 43 million cubic meters during the dry season. It solves this with modern structures such as manmade reservoirs. These reservoirs are not the only solution, however. Over a thousand years ago, indigenous (本地的) people developed anothe
43、r way to solve water problems.Boris OchoaTocachi is a researcher at Imperial College London and lead writer of the study. He explored one of the last remaining waterharvesting systems in the small mountain community of Huamantanga, Peru. The system was developed even before the ancient Inca civiliza
44、tion.The 1,400yearold system is designed to increase the water supply during the dry season by diverting and slowing water as it travels down the mountains.This naturebased method is made of special canals that guide water from its source to a series of water bodies and hillsides. The water goes slo
45、wly into the ground, then flows downhill through the soil and reappears in water bodies near the community.The researchers measured how much the system slowed the flow of water by injecting special dye in the highlands and noting when it reappeared in water bodies. The dyed water started to surface
46、two weeks later and continued flowing for eight monthsa huge improvement over the hours or days it would normally take. 1How much water does an Olympicsize swimming pool need?A. 4,000 cubic meters. B. 2,500 cubic meters.C. 1,000 cubic meters. D. 1,400 cubic meters.2What can be learned about the anci
47、ent water system?A. It was developed during the ancient Inca civilization.B. It is naturebased and made of special canals. C. It is the last water system left in Huamantanga.D. It can satisfy water needs of Lima throughout the year.3What does the underlined word “this” probably refer to in Para.3?A.
48、 Water resources. B. Water supply.C. Water system. D. Water shortage.4Which of the following order shows how the ancient system works?aThe water flows downhill through the soil.bThe water surfaces in water bodies.cThe water goes slowly into the ground.dThe water flows to water bodies and hillsides.A
49、. d, a, b, c B. b, c, a, dC. a, b, c, d D. d, c, a, b参考答案：1答案与解析B数据计算题。根据第一段中“up to 100 million cubic meters of waterequal to 40,000 Olympicsize swimming pools worth of water”可知40 000个奥运会规模的游泳池需要100 000 000 立方米水，由此可知，一个奥运会规模的游泳池需要的水是100 000 00040 0002 500, 故B项正确。2B间接信息题。根据第五段中“This naturebased metho
50、d is made of special canals”可知，这个古老的水系统是以自然为本的，且由特别的水渠组成，故B项正确。3D代词指代题。根据画线词前一句“The city suffers shortages of 43 million cubic meters during the dry season.”可知，该城在干旱季节严重缺水，故this指water shortage，故选项D正确。4D细节排序题。根据第五段提到的水从源头流到水体，然后渗入地下，再经由土壤流下山，最后出现在社区的水源中，由此可判断出选项D正确。五：话题写作训练（A）最近国内外灾害不断发生，这些灾害引起了我们对于自
51、然所做的行为的再一次思考。1. 你是如何看待自然灾害的?2. 我们应该采取哪些措施来尽可能避免这些灾害和减少损失呢?注意:1.词数100词左右;2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。参考文章Natural disasters happen almost every day，those devastating ones leave us to think about our behaviors towards nature again.First of all，we need to set a sound pre-warning mechanism, which enables us to det
52、ect potential risks at an early stages. Accordingly，emergency measures can be taken，and losses can be minimized.Second，governments have to equipped with an excellent Disaster Assistance Response Team to rescue those disaster-stricken areas. The primary goal is to provide emergency services, such as
53、drinking water and medical treatment, until long-term aid arrives.Third, citizens need to realize that the main cause of those disasters is largely due to climate crisis; therefore, they should purchase energy efficient appliances, plant trees and economize our consumption on housing.From what has b
54、een discussed above, I maintain that minimizing the cost of disasters can be achieved by our persisting efforts.（B）你校与加拿大的Windson学校师生以“中学生如何在灾难中保护自己”为主题, 开展探讨月活动,请你以该主题在会议上发表演讲。注意:1. 词数80左右;2. 可以适当增加细节, 以使行文连贯。Protect Ourselves From The DisasterMisfortune and fortune always accompany one another, ju
55、st like thunder accompanying lightning. Much less as misfortune occurs than fortune, not until it breaks out suddenly can we realize it. Here are some suggestions provided for you. First of all, you had better watch TV and search the information from the Internet or the other ways, which could give
56、you very full knowledge about how to protect yourself from the native disaster.Second, you should think carefully and decide to buy something for yourself, which will be helpful when you are in danger.Third, after you have learned some knowledge about how to protect yourself, you should try to practice, because, as we know, actions speak louder than words.Last but not least, when you practice very proficiently, you could help your family to learn something about it.Only in this way can you learn how to protect yourself from the native disaster!
