（2022·海南·嘉积中学高一期末）Here is the latest news from BBC．

News One

More than 90 people are now known to have been killed by destructive tornadoes

that swept through the Midwest of the United States on Friday. At least 80 were killed

in Kentucky and 14 across five other states.

A worker at a Kentucky candle factory told the BBC that many workers had been

killed when they worked there. As Peter Bowes reports, what people should do is

being discussed when they are warmed that a tornado is on the way. And the owner of

that factory has, in fact, been talking about this. But clearly it wasn’t of any use for

the people in that building.

News Two

The number of people killed by flash floods in the US state of Tennessee has

risen to more than 20 on Tuesday. Now rescue workers are continuing to look for

those who are still missing.

Record rainfall of more than 40 centimeters in some areas caused widespread

flooding. Buddy Frazier is the mayor (市长) of Waverly, one of the worst affected

towns. “I’ve been around a long time, and I’ve been through a lot of events here, and

this one really shocked me. “ He said.

News Three

Haiti’s civil protection service says around 1300 people are now known to have

lost their lives in Saturday’s powerful earthquake which struck the southwest of the

country.

Hospitals in the area are fighting to cut down the number of the injured, which is

almost doubled to around 6000 people. In the cities of Jeremies and Les Cayes,

rescuers are trying to locate people still trapped under ruins.

（2021·河南·虞城县高级中学高一期中）Shops were in ruins, houses flattened,

and entire villages were destroyed in what’s being described as one of the worst

flooding disasters to hit Western Europe in more than two centuries. More than 165

people have been killed, while dozens of others remain missing after a record rainfall

caused dams（堤坝）to burst and rivers to overflow into towns and streets across

western Germany, Belgium, as well as parts of the Netherlands, Switzerland and

northern France.

In Liège, Belgium’s third-largest city, water from the Meuse River overflowed

Thursday evening into parts of the city center, so city officials had to call for the

people to move out of the area or go to higher ground.

“I’ve never seen anything like this in my 81 years,” said Pierre Fouillen, an old

lady who came to her home Friday morning to check the damage. “This may be the

worst flooding disaster our country has ever known. ”

Dutch soldiers are sent to the southern city of Limburg as rivers are expected to

burst their banks. After more than two months’ worth of rain in just 24 hours, officials

are preparing for more rain Thursday, but dryer weather is expected by the weekend.

In western Germany, the number of deaths rose to 143. Some of the worst

damage has happened in the coutryside of Ahrweiler, where floodwater has cut off

entire villages. In the town of Schuld, houses were destroyed, and dozens of people

were missing. Transport has also been badly affected by the rain. Most railway

services running through central and western Germany have been put off, resulting in

D．About 3000.

traffic jam on the nation’s highways. Parts of southern and eastern Germany have also

been hit by flooding.

The flooding has made climate change a hot topic for Germany’s upcoming

elections（选举）in the fall. Armin Laschet, the most promising candidate（候选人）from North Rhine-Westphalia, called an emergency meeting Friday, for whom

the flooding will become a serious test of his leadership.

（2022·河北秦皇岛·高一期末）Winter can usually kill most wildfires. But in

the far North，some forest fires just don’t die. They are thought of as “zombie (僵尸)

fires”.

“Zombie fires” usually sleep underground in winter. Covered by snow, they

smoke through the cold. Fueled by carbon-rich peat (泥炭) and soil in the North, most

of these hidden fires spread slowly for less than 500 meters during the winter. When

spring comes, the flames (火焰) of the fires appear near sites that they burned in

winter, and they turn to burning fresh fuels around. This may happen well before the

traditional fire season in the far North.

“Zombie fires” had been known mostly from firefighters’ stories. Few scientists

studied them until details in some satellite images attracted one research team.

B．Too many flights were delayed.

D．Villagers were moved to the

3 / 10

Rebecca Scholten, a member of the team, studies earth systems at Vrije University

Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Her team noticed an unusual thing. “New fires have

been starting very close to the former years’ fires in recent years，and we wonder

how often the fires might survive the winter,” Scholten explains.

These “zombie fires” are rarely seen before, according to a new study from

Nature. But in recent years, they are becoming more common, the study warns. It is

believed that the “zombie fires” are even on the road of being a threat. Forests in the

far North are warming faster than the globe’s average (平均数). Scholten says,

“We’re seeing more hot summers and more large fires and strong burning. That could

set the stage for the fires to become a bigger problem,” she worries. And the region’s

soils hold a lot of carbon—maybe twice as much as earth’s atmosphere. More fires

here could give off huge amounts of greenhouse gases. That would drive a cycle of

more warming and even higher risk of fires.

8．What do we know about the “zombies fires” in the far North?

A．They will completely die out in winter.

B．Carbon-rich peat helps them burn slowly in winter.

C．They often happen after the traditional fire season.

D．Their flames can only appear in spring.

9．What can we infer from Scholten’s words in paragraph 3?

A．“Zombie fires” appear earlier than the years before.

B．“Zombie fires” happen far from former years’ fires.

C．“Zombie fires” happen more frequently than before.

D．“Zombie fires” appear in different shapes every year.

10．What was a cause of being a threat for the “zombie fires”?

A．The global warming is slowing down.

B．The hot summers are less and less seen.

C．The area’s soils are short of carbon.

D．More greenhouse gases are given off.

11．What can be the best title for the text?

A．Where Are “Zombie Fires” From?

B．Are “Zombie Fires” Frightening?

4 / 10

C．Pay Attention To “Zombie Fires”!

D．“Zombie Fires” Are Caused By Humans!

（2022·江西·临川一中高一阶段练习）Check out our tsunami facts and learn

some interesting information related to these great walls of water that can cause so

much destruction. Find out what causes tsunamis and read about some notable recent

examples of tsunamis that have occurred around the globe.

Tsunamis are huge waves of water that are usually caused by earthquakes or

volcanic eruptions. As a tsunami approaches the shore, water may move back from

the coast. If it is shallow enough, the water may be pulled back hundreds of meters. If

you are in the area, observing this is a good indication that a tsunami is on the way.

Regions in tsunami danger zones often have warning systems in place to give

people as much time to evacuate as possible. When tsunamis hit shallow water (often

near the coast), they slow down but increase in height.

An earthquake in the Indian Ocean off Indonesia in December 2004 caused a

tsunami that killed over 200,000 people in 14 countries. In March 2011, the Tohoku

earthquake off the eastern coast of Japan caused a tsunami that was a major factor in

the death of over 15,000 people. The tsunami waves created by the Tohoku

earthquake reached heights of over 40 metres (131 feet) in mine areas, wiping out

coastal towns and causing a number of nuclear accidents.

The Japanese word “tsunami” literally means “harbour wave”. Tsunamis are

sometimes referred to as tidal waves but this term has fallen out of favour because

tsunamis are not related to tides.

12．Which of the following shows a tsunami is coming soon?

A．The water near the shore is pulled back.

coast.

C．An earthquake takes place.

shallow.

13．In the Tohoku earthquake, over 15,000 people died mainly because of ________.

A．the earthquake itself B．the lack of warning systems

D．The water near the shore is very

B．The water marches towards the

C．the tsunami caused by the earthquake

D．the nuclear accidents caused by the tsunami

5 / 10

14．What does the underlined word “evacuate” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A．Leave. B．Watch. C．Explore. D．Communicate.

15．What can we learn from the passage?

A．There is no sign before the approach of a tsunami.

B．More people died in Indonesia tsunami than in Tohoku tsunami.

C．Some nuclear accidents happened after Indonesia tsunami.

D．The term “tidal wave” is used more often than “tsunami.”

47．（2021·福建省南安市柳城中学高一期中）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

A little girl whose parents had died lived with her grandmother and slept in an

upstairs bedroom. One night there was a fire in the house and the grandmother died

while trying to rescue the child. The fire spread quickly, and the situation was terrible.

Neighbours called the fire department, then stood helplessly by, unable to enter

the house because flames blocked all the entrances. The little girl appeared at an

upstairs window, crying for help, just as word spread among the crowd that the fire-

fighters would be delayed a few minutes because they were all at another fire.

Suddenly, a man appeared with a ladder, put it up against the side of the house

and disappeared inside. When he reappeared, he had the little girl in his arms. He

delivered the child to the waiting arms below, then disappeared into the night.

An investigation revealed that the child had no living relatives, and weeks later a

meeting was held in the town hall to determine who would take the child into their

home and bring her up.

A teacher said she would like to raise the child. She pointed out that she could

9 / 10

ensure her a good education. A farmer offered her an upbringing (教养) on his farm.

He pointed out that living on a farm was healthy and satisfying. Others spoke, giving

their reasons why it was to the child's advantage to live with them.

Finally, the town's richest resident rose and said, “I can give this child all the

advantages that you have mentioned here, plus money and everything that money can

buy.”

Throughout all this, the child remained silent, her eyes on the floor.

“Does anyone else want to speak?” asked the meeting chairman. A man came

forward from the back of the hall. He walked slowly and appeared to be in pain.

注意：

When he got to the front of the hall, he stood directly in front of the little girl and
