Unit 2 Natural disasters A卷 基础夯实

第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）

A
    Located at Europe's biggest water park, the Galaxy Erding in South Germany, the world's first VR water slide takes the exciting experience to a whole new level by offering thrill-seekers the choice of three attractive worlds— Space, Sky, or Snow. By simply wearing a headset, riders can slide through a magical alien world, follow beautiful butterflies around floating islands or put themselves in a white winter wonderland. To make the experience even more heart-stopping, the 160-metre-long ride that lasts about 35 seconds has two uphill tracks that provide a roller-coaster-like experience.
    While the tire slide, which has been successfully tested by almost 10, 000 park goers since it opened in February 2018, is impressive, the technology behind it, developed by California startup Ballast is even more so. The specially-created waterproof headsets can be worn in water up to a few metres deep, without harming the delicate Samsung Galaxy S8 mobile devices that run the custom software for the VR experiences. The headsets also charge wirelessly (无线地) , allowing park operators to swap out sets throughout the day.
    The biggest challenge the company faced, however, was providing a suitable VR experience for everyone. That's because unlike roller coasters, where the speed is fixed for all riders, water slide speeds vary depending on the weight of the person. To overcome the issue, Ballast fixed smart sensors (传感器)in important areas along the: slide to keep track of the riders progress at all times. The information, conveyed through the headset, allows the custom software to adjust his or her location within the virtual world accordingly, making for a smooth, seasickness free ride for all.Ziyuanku.com
    Though Ballast is thrilled at Space Glider's success, the company has bigger ambitions. They want to create an experience where guests will be able to swim underwater surrounded by virtual dolphins, whales, and even sharks, without wearing the heavy headsets!
1.What can people do if they go to the Galaxy Erding?
A.They can swim with dolphins. B.They can explore the outer space.
C.They can experience VR water slide. D.They can swap out sets all day long.
2.What can help park goers experience a smooth, seasickness free ride?
A.The painkillers. B.The fixed speed.
C.A sensor fixed in important areas. D.Virtual dolphins, whales and sharks.
3.What is the authors attitude towards the VR water slide?
A.Objective. B.Subjective. C.Opposed. D.Indifferent.

    Like all big cities, Paris has traffic problems : lots of cars, lots of traffic jams (堵塞) and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes (废气).So the city began a scheme (计划) to improve the situation.
    Under the Velib scheme ("Velib" comes from vélo liberté, or "bicycle freedom") people can take a bicycle, use it for as long as they want, and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station. The first half-hour on the bike is free, but if you don't return it after 30 minutes, you have to pay. But it's only €1 a day or €29 a year! The bicycles are heavy (25 kg) , and they are all grey and have baskets. There are about 20, 000 of them in the city, and around 1, 450 bicycle stations. So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations!
    Paris is not the first city to have a scheme like this. But not everybody thinks it's a great idea. One Parisian said, "These bicycles are only for short journeys. If people want to travel across the city, they won't use a bicycle—they'll still use their cars."
    A city spokesman said, "The bicycle scheme won't solve all our traffic problems, of course. But it might help reduce air pollution. Traffic, together with factory fumes, is a big problem. There aren't any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities. But unless we do something now, there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise, so the problems in our environment will get worse. The bikes might help people to lead a healthier life, too."
1.What can we learn about the Velib scheme?
A.Its bikes have no baskets. B.Its bikes are light and colourful.
C.It aims to make travelling easier. D.It owns more stations than the subway.
2.How much should you pay if you use a Velib for an hour?
A.€l. B.€30 C.€29. D.No money.
3.Why do some people disagree with the Velib scheme?
A.The cost is rather high.
B.It's hard to find a Velib station.
C.It's not suitable for a long journey.
D.The distance between two Velib stations is long.
4.What's the city spokesman's attitude towards the bicycle scheme?
A.Doubtful. B.Positive. C.Uncaring. D.Worried.

   Jon Pedley is making a big change. He is giving up his life as a successful businessman for life of helping others. He is trading his beautiful farmhouse in England for life in a mud hut in Uganda, East Africa.
    Pedley admits that he has not always led a very positive life. At times he drank too much and got in trouble with the law. "I've always put the pursuit (追求) of money in front of everything else. As long as I was all right, I didn't care who I was hurting," says Pedley.
    But a visit to Uganda in 2007 gave Pedley a new outlook (态度) on life. He was amazed at what he saw and how much the people there appreciated the work he was doing. "I worked there for a few days and these people who have nothing thanked me by giving me bags of potatoes, which are a fortune for them," he said.
    Now Pedley is selling his business, his $1.5 million farmhouse, and his expensive car—and moving into a hut made of mud and boards in a small Ugandan village. There he will help run an organisation that hopes to improve the quality of life for people in the village of Kigazi. He will help to build schoolrooms for children and tanks to hold clean water for villagers. Today, people in Kigazi must walk two miles to a hospital, so Pedley will help to build doctors' offices, too.
    Pedley's organisation will also work with English teenagers who are in trouble. The teens will be sent to a "camp" in Uganda that Pedley will run. The teens will live in mud huts and help to build water, health and education facilities(设备) for kids in Kigazi, many of whom have lost their parents due to poverty or disease. Pedley hopes the teens will see a side of life that might help them turn around their own lives and set them on a new and more positive path.
1.Which of the following can best describe Pedley's life in the past?
A.Positive. B.Colourful. C.Independenl. D.Selfish.
2.What will Pedley do in the small Ugandan village?
A.Grow potatoes, with the local people. B.Teach English in the local school.
C.Assist villagers with construction work. D.Help to attract more tourists to the village.
3.Why will Pedley work with English teenagers who are in trouble?
A.To encourage them to make friends with locals.
B.To encourage them to live a more positive life.
C.To train them to become doctors in the future.
D.To make them learn about different cultures.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.From Being a Millionaire to Living in a Mud Hut
B.A Life-Changing Adventure
C.A Rich Man Becoming Homeless
D.A Grateful Businessman

By the end of the century, if not sooner, the world's oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.
At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny marine microorganisms (海洋微生物) called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colourful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean colour varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the ocean's appearance.
Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean's warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.
Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT's Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 3℃, it found that multiple changes to the colour of the oceans would occur. The model projects that currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions riper for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener. "Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing," she said, "but the type of phytoplankton is changing."
And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, "it will change the type of fish that will be able to survive." Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.
Whatever colour changes the ocean experiences in the coining decades will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes. "It'll be a while before we can statistically show that the changes are happening because of climate change," Dutkiewicz said, "but the change in the colour of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet."资*源%库
1. What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?
A. The various patterns at the ocean surface.
B. The cause of the changes in ocean colour.
C. The way light reflects off marine organisms.
D. The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.
2. What does the underlined word "vulnerable" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Sensitive. B. Beneficial. C. Significant. D. Unnoticeable.
3. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Phytoplankton play a declining role in the marine ecosystem.
B. Dutkiewicz's model aims to project phytoplankton changes.
C. Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.
D. Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.
4. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To assess the consequences of ocean colour changes.
B. To analyse the composition of the ocean food chain.
C. To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.
D. To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.

    I lived in Texas, where sudden storms often happened every year. Last Sunday, there was no dirt in the air, only bright spring sunshine and a clear blue sky. After lunch, Papa headed out to the field to check on the cattle while Mama started dinner. Everything seemed peaceful. Faye and I played happily in the yard. The heat had been building since dawn. Suddenly the temperature dropped—it felt good.
    Then Mama shouted from the house, "Iris, you and Faye get inside, quickly!"
    I looked to the west and saw a huge black cloud of dust, like thick smoke from a railway engine's chimney. All the birds flew away. The stoplights nearby weren't working because of a power failure.
    "Faye, go with Mama!" I shouted. "I'll warn Papa."
    Faye ran toward the house. The storm hit so fast that I hardly saw her climb the steps. In a short time, the day turned into night. I screamed for Papa, hoping my voice would lead him back. But I couldn't hear or see him at all.
    Some poor house roofs were blown off, and small trees down. I thought a terrible storm was on the way and the scene was "the worst I've seen in several years". The dirt and sand stung(刺痛) my face like a thousand bees. I needed to get to shelter. Covering my face with one hand, I made my way toward the car and opened the door. Dirt flew in with me as I pulled the door closed. Papa was still out somewhere! I needed to help him find the car.
    I searched the dashboard(仪表板) and found the switch for the front lights. They made some rays, but would Papa see them in the thick darkness? I pushed the horn(喇叭) again and again, hoping Papa would hear it.

    Suddenly, Papa's face appeared at the window. _____________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:

    I am really sorry that I have no choice but to stop our online language learning for a while. Words fail me to convey my deep regret.
    Due to hard work, you have made much progress in Chinese, so have I in English. But faced with a significant challenge—the College Entrance Examination, I will devote myself to my study and have no time to surf the Internet. I promise I'll spare no effort to help with your Chinese learning after the exam. I would be grateful if you could understand and forgive me.
    Look forward to studying with you online soon.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
第二节
答案：
Paragraph 1:
    Suddenly, Papa's face appeared at the window. My heart jumped with surprise and relief. He opened the door and climbed onto the seat next to me. He coughed and wiped his eyes with dirty hands, and then pulled me into his arms. "Oh, Iris, you're safe." I hugged Papa and cried. I could feel the tears streaming down my dirty cheeks. Papa looked at my face and asked, "Your mother and Faye?" I said, "They are in the house." Papa nodded, "Good. We'll wait out the storm there."
Paragraph 2:
    Papa shut off the car's lights and I worried the dirt would bury us. Luckily, the wind died down and the dust started to settle. Papa kicked against the door, opening it far enough to let us out. We went home as Mama dashed out. "Mama!" I shouted and ran into her arms. "Oh, my precious Iris!" Mama cried. "You and Papa are safe!" "I'm safe thanks to Iris," Papa said. "The car's horn led me to shelter." "I'm so proud of you." Mama said to me. I cried even more with tears of joy because my family had survived the horrible storm.
解析：上周日，作者的爸爸去牧场看牛，妈妈开始做晚饭。费耶和作者在院子里玩。这是一场可怕的暴风雨来临了。作者的爸爸还在外面。作者决定开车把他找回来。作者打开车前灯，同时不断地按喇叭，希望爸爸可以看见灯光或者听见喇叭声。第一段开头是：突然，爸爸的脸出现在窗户边。所以应该写爸爸发现作者开的车，然后上车后的情景。第二段开头是：爸爸关掉了车里的灯，作者担心泥土会把我们埋起来。本段应该写作者和爸爸在后面如何应付狂虐的暴风雨，以及风暴逐渐平息以后，一家人见面的情景。
