12、 happened, I didnt think it would ever stop. I wanted to sleep with my Mom and Dad. I only felt safe in a room with a table to hide under, said San Jose, age 9. Your child may appear to be acting well immediately following an earthquake and then suddenly turn shocked over a small aftershock ( 余 震 )

13、two months later. Children react a little slowly to shocks, so it may be months before any of these feelings are expressed to others. The following are common behaviours, which can be seen in children after an earthquake. Along with them, there are some suggestions for ways that you can support them

14、. After an earthquake, a child may refuse to talk with others. Suggestions: Try to get your children to do such activities as drawing or playing with pets together. Talk about what you are feeling or how you might feel in their situation. Some children may be angry after an earthquake. Suggestions:

15、The behaviour results from their feeling helpless or hurt inside. It is a try for them to feel stronger. Do not blame the child in front of others. Talk to them about your experiences with loss and anger. Some children may become depressed after an earthquake. Suggestions: Their eating or sleeping h

16、abits may change. Their behaviour may be less active. Depression can even happen many months after the earthquake. It is very important to address the childrens needs in time, like some food, clothes and friends. Dont talk about shocking news with them. Actions speak louder than words to children, s

17、o share your tears, anger, and helplessness openly with them. ( ) 21. The intended readers of this passage are most probably .

18、perience different mental states during and after an earthquake B. children will experience fears and loneliness during and after an earthquake C. human beings are powerless and hopeless during and after an earthquake D. any child is childish facing bad lucks, even during and after an earthquake ( )

19、 23. Often children are angry after an earthquake because . A. they will feel stronger B. they like to do so C. they feel helpless or hurt inside D. parents blame them in public B In a natural disastera hurricane, flood, volcanic eruption, or other catastrophesminutes and even seconds of warning can

20、 make the difference between life and death. Because of this, scientists are working to use the latest technological advances to predict when and where disasters will happen. They are also studying how best to analyse and communicate this information once it is obtained. Hurricane Georges made landf

21、all in Biloxi, Mississippi, after damaging Haiti, the Dominican - 4 - Republic, Puerto Rico, and several islands of the Caribbean badly with torrential rains and winds up to 160 km per hour. Few people lost their lives along the Gulf Coast of the United States, although hundreds died in the Caribbea

22、n. This was a very different outcome from 1900, when a powerful Gulf Coast hurricane made an unexpected direct hit on Galveston, Texas, killing at least 6,000 people. Vastly improved hurricane warnings explain the different circumstancesresidents of Galveston had no advance warning that a storm was

23、approaching, while residents of Biloxi had been warned days in advance, allowing for extensive safety precautions ( 预防 ). While people in Biloxi were thankful for the advance warning, some residents of New Orleans, Louisiana were less satisfied. A day before Georges made landfall, forecasters were p

24、redicting that the hurricane had a good chance of striking New Orleans. Because much of New Orleans lies below sea level, the city is at risk for flooding. Emergency management officials must begin evacuations ( 疏散 ) well before a storm strikes. But evacuation costs money: businesses close, tourists

25、 leave, and citizens take precautionary measures. The mayor of New Orleans estimated that his citys preparations for Georges cost more than 50 million. After Georges missed New Orleans, some residents questioned the value of the hurricane forecasts in the face of such high costs. The different views

26、 on the early warnings for Hurricane Georges show some of the complexities related to predicting disasters. Disaster prediction is a process of providing scientific information to the government officials and other decision-makers who must respond to those predictions. ( ) 24. Which of the following

27、 areas suffered the most severe damage? A. Puerto Rico. B. Galveston, Texas. C. Biloxi, Mississippi. D. New Orleans. ( ) 25. The city residents of New Orleans were unsatisfied because .

29、 of disaster prediction. C The preventive measures for forest fires include some pre-emptive ( 抢先的 ) methods that can help reduce the risks of fires and control their severity and spread, and thus, maintain ecological balance and protect natural resources. Close monitoring of forest fires caused by

30、natural factors can help prevent their spread to a large extent. To contain forest fires, fire departments usually use water and chemical fire retardants ( 抑制剂 ) that can be dropped from planes and helicopters. To control the spread of a wildfire, firefighters usually create a control line by removi

31、ng all fuel from an area so that the fire cannot travel across it. Controlled burns are often employed by government authorities to reduce fuel build-up, and clean up the fallen leaves, and thus, prevent the spread of forest fires to a vast area. Regular - 5 - controlled burns can also help maintain

32、 biodiversity ( 生物多样性 ), as the smoke and heat produced in the process can facilitate ( 促进 ) the growth of seeds of certain plant species. Apart from these, responsible human behaviour can help reduce the number of forest fires to a great extent. In fact, we can reduce the number of wildfires dramat

33、ically by not leaving behind any source of fire in the forest. Forest fires can affect climate and weather to a great extent, besides causing severe damage to valuable trees. Wildfires can increase the level of greenhouse gases (water vapour, carbon dioxide, etc), and therefore increase pollution an

34、d global warming. However, they are also an important part of the ecosystem, and many plants depend on the heat and smoke generated by wildfires for their growth and reproduction. But large wildfires can cause extensive damage to the ecosystem， which again highlights the importance of effective cont

35、rol and prevention of forest fires ( ) 27. Firefighters get rid of all fuel in all area in order to .

41、der the Atlantic Ocean. Lava ( 熔岩 ) pours out of these cracks. The lava cools - 6 - and hardens in the water and makes new seafloor. (34) Sometimes the edge of one plate slips under another plate. The edge goes deep into the hot Earth and melts. It makes magma ( 岩 浆 ). The magma pushes up into space

42、s in the rock. When there is lots of magma, it erupts to make a volcano. Mount Saint Helens was made this way. Sometimes one of Earths plates moves over an especially hot spot deep in Earth. The hot spot blows up hot magma. The magma melts through the crust and erupts. The Hawaiian Islands were made

43、 by a hot spot. Lava from the hot spot built up into mountains on the Pacific Ocean floor. (35) Scientists have found volcanoes on Mars and other planets.

Scientists never know quite when or where they will appear, and they move fast. In 1971, a scientist named Theodore Fujita made up a scale to tell how 39 a tornado is. His

47、 Fujita scale 40 tornadoes by how much damage they do. The scale goes from F0 to F5. Weak tornadoes may 41 chimneys and break tree branches. Powerful F5 tornadoes can 42 houses off the ground and strip the bark ( 树皮 ) off the 43 of a tree. Scientists want to get better at 44 tornadoes. Better predic
