I.阅读理解
My first day of high school taught me not always to expect the bad things out of life. I once
expected my day to be full of loneliness and anxiety. Luckily, on the morning of my first day
at high school, I met a new friend, Nick.
My first class was Mr Malouf's ancient civilization. The bell rang and we went to his class.
We could tell from his introduction that he was aware of how everyone in the class felt —
alone and anxious. We were comforted after Mr Malouf said, "Okay, I know that this is your
first day of high school and you are all thinking, ‘Oh, I'm so nervous because this is my first
class! I want this to be a good first class of high school. So just relax.'" Afterwards, we
introduced ourselves to each other, including information like our previous schools, our
names, and so on. Next, Mr Malouf told the class about his background after we asked where
he was from. After Mr Malouf's class, Nick and I went to our following classes.
At noon, Nick and I met up with his old friends from his previous school. We met up at the
Mustang Corral, which was packed with teenagers. The Mustang Corral was where we had
lunch, and this was the best lunch that I had had at any school. Most cafeteria food I had had
was very plain. The food here was amazing. We all ate outside at a table and enjoyed our 35
— 40 minutes' lunch, after which we headed towards our classrooms.
My next class was Mr Kelly's biology class. When we sat down he shouted as if we were
deaf. He introduced himself and greeted us one by one. Whenever he called our names
randomly (随意地), we thought we were in trouble, but he was really just practicing our
names. In the last ten minutes of his class, we played games on our computers and talked to
each other. Mr Kelly seemed a little strange, but I liked his class.
After school I was taken home by my mom. When I got home I thanked God for such a
wonderful day at high school. It was really much better than I had expected. And I couldn't
wait to go to school and meet my friends again.

News 1
At 8:13 Sunday morning, a 4.4-magnitude earthquake hit central Labrador, about 150
kilometres southwest of Happy Valley.
There were no reports of damage and none would be expected, according to Steven
Halchuk, an earthquake expert with Natural Resources Canada. "An earthquake of this size is
not large enough to cause any damage. But if you were close to it, you would feel a clear
shake," Halchuk told CBC News.
"Earthquakes in the area are few," said Halchuk. "There is a small number of earthquake
activities that extend (延伸) from the Gulf of St. Lawrence up through Quebec, Labrador and
Happy Valley, but the earthquakes there are usually small. The last earthquake I can find of
this size in the area happened about 50 years ago," said Halchuk.
News 2
A 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck under the sea south of Japan on Sunday. It shook
buildings in the capital but caused no serious damage or tsunami (海啸). The earthquake
struck near the island of Tori-shima in the Pacific Ocean, about 600 kilometers south of
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂Tokyo. Its epicenter ( 震 中 ) was about 370 kilometers below the sea. Luckily, it did
not generate a tsunami.
No people lived on the island, so the earthquake led to no deaths there. Buildings in the
Tokyo area shook, but no damage or injuries were reported. Express trains in northern and
central Japan were stopped for a while for safety checks but later ran again. According to the
report by public broadcaster NHK, the nuclear power plant (工厂) in northeastern Japan was
not affected by the earthquake.
A big earthquake and tsunami that happened on March 11, 2011 in Japan left nearly
20,000 people dead or missing. Japan, which lies along the Pacific "Ring of Fire", often
suffers earthquakes.
1. What's the best title for News 1?
A. An earthquake in Labrador caused a clear shake
B. Central Labrador was seriously hit by an earthquake
C. A small earthquake hit central Labrador
D. Happy Valley was destroyed
2. What can we infer from what Halchuk said in News 1?
A. Happy Valley was badly damaged about 50 years ago.
B. The Gulf of St. Lawrence often suffers earthquakes.
C. Quebec has never experienced earthquakes before.
D. Labrador is hardly hit by big earthquakes.
3. What does the underlined word "generate" in News 2 mean?
A. Suffer. B. Mean. C. Stop. D. Cause.
4. What can we learn about the 7.0-magnitude earthquake from the passage?
A. It caused no injuries or deaths.
B. People in the Tokyo area couldn't feel it.
C. It happened right under an island.
D. It left nearly 20,000 people dead or missing.
C
Whether people can do right things during the earthquake may mean the difference
between life and death. Rescue teams and experts all agree that "Drop, Cover, and Hold On"is
the right action to reduce injury and death during earthquakes.
·DROP down on your hands and knees (before the earthquakes knock you down). This
position protects you from falling and allows you to still move if necessary. Trying to move
during shaking puts you at risk. Earthquakes occur without any warning and may be so
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂violent that you cannot run or crawl; therefore you will most likely be knocked to the ground
where you happen to be. So it is best to drop before the earthquake drops you, and find a
nearby shelter or use your arms and hands to protect your head and neck.
·COVER your head and neck (and your entire body if possible) under a strong table or
desk. If there is no shelter nearby, only then should you get down near an interior wall (内墙),
and cover your head and neck with your arms and hands. The greatest danger is from falling
and flying objects: Studies of injuries and deaths caused by earthquakes over the last several
decades show that you are much more likely to be injured by falling or flying objects than to
die in a collapsing building. "Drop, Cover, and Hold On"(as described above) will protect you
from most of these injuries.
·HOLD ON to your shelter (or to your head and neck) until the shaking stops. Be
prepared to move with your shelter if the shaking moves it around. If you are in bed, the best
thing to do is to stay there and cover your head with a pillow. Studies of injuries in
earthquakes show that people who moved from their beds would not have been injured if they
had remained in bed.
1. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. One who is sleeping in bed should get out of bed when an earthquake happens.
B. We should move out of a building as quickly as possible when an earthquake happens.
C. "Drop, Cover, and Hold On" can protect people from any injury in the earthquake.
D. Only when we can't find shelter nearby, should we get down next to an interior wall.
2. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The bed is the best place to stay if one is caught in an earthquake.
B. One shouldn't take shelter near a bookcase (书柜) for it may fall easily in earthquakes.
C. There's hardly any methods to protect us in an earthquake.
D. One's head and neck are the only parts of one's body needing protection during
earthquakes.
3. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Collapsing buildings are less dangerous than falling or flying objects.
B. Falling or flying objects can only get one injured rather than get one killed.
C. Most people are injured instead of being killed during earthquakes.
D. People are more likely to be injured by falling or flying objects than being killed by a
falling building.
4. What is the main purpose of the author's writing this passage?
A. To warn people of the danger of earthquakes.
B. To introduce some knowledge about earthquakes.
C. To inform people of the biggest dangers in earthquakes.

Most of the survivors have to stay in the open area overnight after a 7.1-magnitude quake toppled (使倒
塌)houses, cut off power and first-aid materials supply in northwest China’s Qinghai Province Wednesday
while rescuers face difficulties in searching for the buried.
Rescuers have set up more than 40 tents for survivors in the Gyegu Town, near the epicenter (震中) in
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂the Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Yushu in southern Qinghai. But the effort seems far less than enough
for the area inhabited by some 100,000 people.
Many people sought temporary shelters in buildings that remained unaffected by the tremor (轻微地
震).
In the yard of Yushu’s Sports Committee, nearly 1,000 people were sitting or lying on the ground in
sheer (完全的, 十足的) darkness. Some wrapped themselves up with quilts taken out from the debris (碎
片, 残骸).
Some brought their own tents and others turned on the lights of motorcycles.
“I’m hungry and thirsty. We’ve been waiting for help since the morning,” said Zhaxi Toinzhub.
The woman said her three children were still buried in the rubble (碎石, 瓦砾).
The National Meteorological Station forecast Wednesday that temperatures may hit minus 3 degrees
Celcius at night and 15 degrees Celcius in the daytime in the coming days.
The town would see strong winds and sunny weather in the coming days, providing favorable
conditions for rescue operations.
The town is located in a remote area in Qinghai and the quake and ensuing (随后的) landslides have
damaged roads, causing great difficulties for rescuers and, especially, machines from outside to enter the
region.
“Rescuers had to dig with bare hands or iron sticks Wednesday, looking forward to the arrival of
digging machines,” said a rescuer surnamed Wang, who was working at a collapsed hostel.
“The searching operation became even harder at night without lighting facilities,” he said.
In addition, rescuers may easily get exhausted working at a place with an altitude (海拔) of above
4,000 meters.
Thousands of rescuers and medical staff are rushing to Yushu from many regions of China, bringing
machines, disaster-relief materials and medicines to the quake-hit town. Governments, organizations,
enterprises and individuals are offering donations of money and materials to the region.
