Natural disasters take many different forms and can happen without warning. Earthquakes, floods,
volcanoes, droughts, typhoons, and hurricanes are all natural disasters.
The earthquake of 26 December 2004 resulted in one of the worst natural disasters in living memory.
It was a massive underwater quake and occurred in the Indian Ocean. This caused a huge tsunami （海
啸）to cross the Indian Ocean. It destroyed coastlines and communities and brought death and destruction
to many people. The survivors needed fresh water, food and shelter as well as medical help. People from all
over the world gave money.
The surface of the Earth has not always looked as it does today; it is moving continuously （although
very slowly） and has done so for billions of years. This is one cause of earthquakes,when one section of
the Earth crashes with another. Scientists can predict where this might happen and the area between plates
is called a fault line. However, earthquakes do not always happen on Fault lines, which is why they are so
dangerous and unpredictable.
All the disasters are very dangerous and continue to kill thousands of people each year, but they are
nowhere near the most dangerous disaster to ever happen on earth. One type of event in the earth's history
has regularly killed millions of beings: asteroid （小行星）impacts （撞击）. About once every million
years the Earth is hit by a piece of rock and ice from space large enough to cause massive destruction
（including earthquakes, volcanoes and ice ages） and sometimes to kill entire species. Sixty-five million
years ago more than half the earth's species were killed by such a disaster, including all the dinosaurs（恐
龙）. Disasters on the Earth may seem dangerous, but the biggest threat to humans is likely to come from
space.
1．What did the world do when the tsunami occurred in the Indian Ocean?
A．They gave away money to the beggars.
B．They sponsored to help the people survive.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂C．They donated their possessions to the survivors.
D．They helped rebuild the coastlines and communities.
2．What can scientists predict about earthquakes?
A．The possible time. B．The possible climate.
C．The possible place. D．The possible frequence.
3．Which is the best heading that matches Paragraph 3?
A．What do earthquakes destroy? B．Why do earthquakes happen?
C．How can we prevent earthquakes? D．Which is the most dangerous natural disaster?
4．Where does the author think the most dangerous natural disaster will come from?
A．Space. B．Earth. C．Humans. D．Wild animals.

Right when I got out of the car, I had no idea where to go. I was used to walking through
the junior middle school doors and going to gather together with all my friends after a
thrilling summer, but that day was different. It was my first day of senior middle school and I
was about to go on an adventure.
I finally reached the classroom. I sat down, looked around and thought to myself, "I know
absolutely no one!" Then the bell rang and my teacher walked in. The first sentence that came
out of her mouth was, "So who has their summer reading assignment (作业) ?" and I sat there
in surprise. In junior middle school, on the first day, it's usually all about rules, rules, and
more rules!
Later throughout the day, I finally saw some of my friends and felt comfortable because
there were people I knew. I started to enjoy my classes, and I got to know my teachers a little
more. The lunchtime came and I was very hungry! But when I walked into the lunchroom, I
didn't know where to go. It was very large and students could enjoy not only delicious food
but also drinks like soda and orange juice. There were enough tables in the lunchroom but you
could sit outside.
There is a big difference between my junior middle school and senior middle school: we
have much more freedom. How great it is in senior school compared to junior school! In
class, we work together and have an amount of free time. At break time we can have our
phones out and won't get into trouble for it! The best part of all is that we can have any
electronic device (电子设备) out at lunch.

【2021-2022广州四校高一期中】
How is dining in space different from eating on Earth?
Spacesuits? Check! Oxygen? Check! Water? Check!Are we forgetting something? Food!
If you send astronauts into space,you have to send along food as well. But what do astronauts
eat, and how do they eat it? _____1______
First， and possibly most important， is nutrition（营养）.Maintaining the astronauts'
physical health is a top task for any space mission. Providing junk foods to eat, such as potato
chips, sodas, and pizza, would make the astronauts feel unhealthy.
_____2_____ If the food that has been provided is distasteful, then the astronauts may
avoid eating it.If you've ever tried to concentrate on something important while your stomach
doesn't feel well,you'll know why the scientists in charge of a space mission want their
astronauts to eat regularly.
The lack of gravity in a spacecraft also determines what foods can or cannot be eaten in
space. Meals must be packaged carefully so they won't spill into the cabin.Liquids or tiny bits
of food could get inside a machine or electronic device and damage it. ____3_______A loose
knife bouncing（弹起）around inside the cabin would be dangerous.
_____4_____ The weight of every object included in a spacecraft must be calculated in
order to ensure that there is enough fuel and power to carry the craft safely into space and
home again.
_____5______ Most foods are stored in plastic bags, and often, the foods are dehydrated
（脱水）.When an astronaut is ready to eat, hot water is added to rehydrate the meal and
warm it up.
Despite all these requirements,much of the food eaten in space is actually similar to what
you might eat on any given day.
A. Variety and taste are also important.
B. Finally,weight is an important concern.
C. Food packaging is made to be as light as possible.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂D. Believe it or not,they also have fresh fruits and vegetables.
E. Nutrition and practicality are important things to consider.
F. For the same reason sharp utensils are never used onboard.
G.Scientists take several factors into consideration as they plan meals for space.
