As most people know，in the past few years，sandstorms have swept across many cities and areas of North China，polluting the air and disturbing daily lives of human beings.People look dirty and suffer many kinds of illnesses，such as breath difficulty.The sandstorm is such a serious problem that it has not only undermined the industrial and agricultural development of our country but also caused a lot of trouble to the living conditions of the Chinese people.It is expected that effective (有效的) measures should be taken as soon as possible through our joint efforts to limit its occurrence.

So what should we do with the frightening sandstorms? Some experts put forward practical suggestions as follows: For one thing，more funds (基金) ought to be put into tree planting and forest protection so as to keep more water resources within the surface of the earth.For another，governments of all countries should make laws on environmental protection.For example，banning the use of throw­away chopsticks and punishing illegal tree cutting.Scientists should also study and find ways to cut down the degree of its destruction and to improve the whole environment.

How people look forward to sunny days with little breeze (微风) touching their faces now and forever！Nevertheless，I am fully confident that the golden days can come back so long as everyone tries his best to protect natural environment from today on.

I always wanted to be a firefighter.It seemed exciting to me.I like to be outside，lift heavy things and sleep on the ground!

In college，I got a job with the forest service.My first week on the job，they asked if I wanted to get my red card(training for forest fires)，I said yes!

The training was a week long.I learned about the different types of fire crews(工作人员)and I remember the instructor saying hotshots were the top dogs.He said they had the most difficult and dangerous job and that you had to really prove yourself in order to be a hotshot.I was sold.I didn't want to do anything else!

However，hotshot crews don't hire(雇佣)people without fire experience.I returned home from training to Logan where the Logan Hotshots are based.I walked in and told the boss I wanted to be a hotshot and they should keep me in mind if they needed anyone.

The very next day I got a note saying the Hotshots were looking for me！A woman on their crew got injured and they needed a replacement...they were headed to a fire that day.They thought of me because I had just been there the day before.

We arrived at the fire near Provo，Utah at about 10 pm that night.We ended up working 40 hours，digging fire lines.I think I fell asleep standing up against my tool at one point.

My feet were covered in blisters(水泡)and the helicopter that was supposed to pick us up at the top of the mountain broke down and we had to walk miles!

To my delight，the crew liked me and hired me after that.I also met my husband that night！How cool is that!

A．Because they were short of persons.

B．Because they wanted to test her skills.

(2021·贵州思南中学高二上期中)Sometimes, the simplest ideas are the best. For example，to absorb heat from the sun to heat water, you need large, flat and black surfaces.One way to do that is to build those surfaces specially, on the roofs of buildings. But why go to all that trouble when cities are full of black surfaces already, in the form of asphalt (柏油) roads?

Ten years ago, this thought came into the mind of Arian de Bondt, a Dutch engineer. He finally persuaded his boss to follow it up. The result is that their building is now heated in winter and cooled in summer by a system that relies on the surface of the road outside.

The heat­collector is a system of connected water pipes. Most of them run from one side of the street to the other, just under the asphalt roads. Some, however, dive deep into the ground.

When the street surface gets hot in summer，water pumped through the pipes picks up this heat and takes it underground through one of the diving pipes. At a depth of 100 metres lies a natural aquifer(含水层) into which several heat exchangers (交换器) have been built. The hot water from the street runs through these exchangers, warming the groundwater, before returning to the surface through another pipe. The aquifer is thus used as a heat store.

In winter, the working system is changed slightly. Water is pumped through the heat exchangers to pick up the heat stored during summer. This water goes into the building and is used to warm the place up. After performing that task, it is pumped under the asphalt and its remaining heat keeps the road free of snow and ice.

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。最简单的方法往往最有效。城市里既然有了巨大的黑色表面，为什么不用来收集太阳能呢？荷兰工程师Arian de Bondt就发明了这样一个系统，用于在城市道路上收集并存储太阳热量。

12．Which of the following is TRUE according to the first two paragraphs?

A．Arian de Bondt got his idea from his boss.

B．Large, flat, and black surfaces need to be built in cities.

C．The Dutch engineer's system has been widely used.

D．Heat can also be collected from asphalt roads.

D　[细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“But why go to all that trouble when cities are full of black surfaces already，in the form of asphalt roads？”可知，柏油路也可以用来收集热量。故选D项。]

13．For what purpose are the diving pipes used?

A．To absorb heat from the sun.

B．To store heat for future use.

C．To turn solar energy into heat energy.

D．To carry heat down below the surface.

D　[细节理解题。根据文章第四段第一句可知，潜水管的作用是把热量传导到下面的储水层里。故选D项。]

14．What can we know from the last paragraph?

A．Some pipes have to be rearranged in winter.

B．The system can do more than warming up the building.

C．The exchangers will pick up heat from the street surface.

D．Less heat may be collected in winter than in summer.

B　[细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“After performing that task，it is pumped under the asphalt and its remaining heat keeps the road free of snow and ice.”可知，这个系统不仅仅可以给建筑物供暖，还可以防止道路结冰积雪。故选B项。]

15．What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?

A．What shall we do if the system goes wrong.

B．What shall we do if there are no asphalt roads.

C．How the system cools the building in summer.

D．How the system collects heat in spring and autumn.

C　[推理判断题。文章最后一段讲了冬天如何供暖，所以后面要讲这个系统在夏天为建筑物降温的工作方法。故选C项。]

第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

(2021·河南平顶山期末)Natural disasters come without warning, and this underlines the need for disaster management.Natural disasters may cause death or damage crops and property without warning. Emergency management can reduce the damage and save more lives than if there are no systems set up for disaster security (安全)．

There are steps to take when you plan for a natural disaster. Here's a list of some of them：

1．Ask your local Red Cross or emergency management office for reminders of disasters and emergency management steps.  16   You may also request a list of emergency management steps that should be done in each type of disaster.

2．Each community has its own set of emergency signals.  17   Knowing what to do at once gives you a head start in any emergency.

3．  18   Include discussions on what is likely to happen and what should be done in such cases. Plan how each one of you will react and what are the responsibilities of each one, in order to be able to work as a team.

4．Set a meeting place in case of a natural disaster. It should be one within the vicinity (附近) of your workplace or home, and one outside your immediate vicinity.  19   Agree on an emergency telephone that everyone should try to call.

5．Prepare a disaster supply toolbox. Stock it with first aid supplies.  20   Prepare emergency lights like flashlights with batteries. Include a battery­powered radio in the kit so you can listen to updates.

A．Find out what they sound like and what they mean.

B．Discuss the dangers of different types of natural disasters.

C．Try to understand why these signals sound unfamiliar to you.

D．Everyone should try to reach it when a natural disaster happens.

E．Prepare some water and food that should be enough for three days.

F．Find out any disaster management plan that your community has.

G．This is also the best time to ask what kinds of disasters may likely take place.

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了当你计划应对自然灾害时要采取的步骤。

16．G　[设空在段中，应起到承上启下的作用。根据前文中的“Ask your local Red Cross or emergency management office for reminders of disasters and emergency management steps.”可知，段中提及向本地红十字会或应急管理办公室询问灾害提醒和应急管理措施，且后文提到了“in each type of disaster”，因此设空句需要涉及“灾难的种类”。G选项符合语境。]

17．A　[根据前文的“Each community has its own set of emergency signals.”可知，本段主要讲述要对社区的紧急信号有所了解。A选项符合语境。]

18．B　[根据空后一句“Include discussions on what is likely to happen and what should be done in such cases.”可知，空处应提及关键词“discuss”。B选项符合语境。]

19．D　[根据空前一句“It should be one within the vicinity of your workplace or home，and one outside your immediate vicinity.”可知，空处应是进一步解释为何选择这样的地点作为集合场地。D选项符合语境。]

20．E　[根据本段主题句“Prepare a disaster supply toolbox.”可知，在准备灾难应急箱时，水和食物应是必需品。E选项符合语境。]

2012 is a disaster film directed by Roland Emmerich.The film stars are John Cusack，Chiwetel Ejiofor，Amanda Peet，Oliver Platt，Danny Glover，Thandie Newton and Woody Harrelson.

The film tells of how the main characters survive the human catastrophe caused by unusual sun activity.Jackson，good at writing novels，experiences a series of strange things with his children in Yellowstone Park.At last Jackson and his family go through the difficulty with love for each other and respect for life.

I think it is one of the most satisfactory films of the year and it really can be called the “mother of all disaster movies”．From it we learn that human beings should take measures to protect our earth.If not，such a catastrophe might come in the future.

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。

It was shortly after one o'clock in the morning and Mr Fairfax was really tired.He had been driving for over five hours，heading for a small town far away from home.The weather was clear but it was dark and Mr Fairfax could not find a motel to spend the night.Completely exhausted，he decided to stop by the roadside for a few hours' sleep at the wheel of his car.He fell asleep almost the moment he closed his eyes.But soon he was awakened by a man tapping on the car window.“I say，you don't happen to know the time，do you？” the stranger asked.

Mr Fairfax wound down the window and thrust his head out.“It's around one o'clock，”he answered.Then he wound up his window and soon fell back into a deep slumber.

Half an hour later，another guy came up and knocked on his window who also inquired about the time.Once again，Mr Fairfax gathered his thoughts and told him that it was just after one thirty.

When the same thing happened yet again，Mr Fairfax became increasingly irritated.Sleep­deprived，he began to raise his voice at the passer­by：“It's two o'clock，God damn it！And why can't you get yourself a watch like the rest of us？”

This time when he was winding up the window，Mr Fairfax figured out how to make sure no one else disturbed him.He found some paper and a pencil and wrote a note that he placed on the windscreen of his car.It said：“I don't know what time it is！” Amused by his good idea，he happily drifted off back to sleep again.

Not long afterwards，the note was spotted by a policeman on his night patrol.Intent on fulfilling his duty to assist motorists，he tapped on Mr Fairfax's car window.

“Well，sir，” the policeman said.“Now it is five past three！”

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

2．请按如下格式作答。

“For the sake of God！”With a loud noise of fist hitting the wheel，the car window was wound down.                                                                       

“I'm sorry Mister，but I think sleeping in the car by the roadside is not a good choice，”said the police.                                                                       

【参考范文】

“For the sake of God！”With a loud noise of fist hitting the wheel，the car window was wound down.Mr Fairfax  thrust his head out again，staring at the man breaking his sweet dream，his eyes red for lack of sleep.“How dare you！” Mr Fairfax shouted，“I may kill you if you do this again！”“Uh...Excuse me，” the policeman replied tentatively.“I was just doing my duty.You know...” “Oh，please！Go ahead，sir.Just don't disturb me！” Winding up the window，Mr Fairfax were eager to go back to sleep.

“I'm sorry Mister，but I think sleeping in the car by the roadside is not a good choice，” said the police.“You think？” Mr Fairfax was still angry.“Yeah，so I was thinking you may spend the rest of the night in my office.It's not far from here by the way.”“Well，” Mr Fairfax started to feel uneasy.“I have to say thanks a lot，really.And I'm also sorry for the rudeness just now.”“Oh，that's OK.But I'm afraid you have to pay a fine of $10 for parking by the roadside，” the police wrote a ticket with a tricky smile.
