    The wildfires damaging parts of Australia can be seen from space in new satellite images released by NASA. Australia's capital, Canberra, was enveloped in a smoky haze and the air quality at midday was measured 10 times the usual dangerous limit. The damaging fires have killed at least 24 people in Australia and destroyed almost 2, 000 homes. The early start of Australia's summer wildfires, fed by drought and the country's hottest and driest year on record, has also been catastrophic (灾难性的) for the country's wildlife, likely killing nearly 500 million birds, reptiles and mammals in New South Wales alone, Sydney University ecologist Chris Dickman told The Sydney Morning Herald.
    Under such extreme conditions, the fires have been generating enough heat to create their own weather systems, including fire-generated thunderstorms and fire tornadoes. Thousands of firefighters continued to fight against the flames that have burnt millions of acres in New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia, an area twice the size of Maryland. In New South Wales, the Rural Fire Service said as of Sunday there were 150 fires active in the state, and 64 of them uncontrolled.
    On Saturday, Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced that, for the first time in Australian history, 3, 000 army, navy and air force reservists (预备役军人) will battle against the fires. He also committed $14 million to hiring fire-fighting aircraft from overseas. On Sunday, cooler temperatures and lighter winds brought some relief to threatened communities, but a day after thousands of people were forced to escape as flames reached the suburban areas of Sydney. Thousands of firefighters fought to contain the fires, but many fires continued to burn out of control, threatening to wipe out rural townships and causing almost incalculable damage to property and wildlife.
1.What does the underlined phrase "fed by" in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Be given food by someone. B.Be strengthened by something.
C.Be destroyed by something. D.In the control of something.
2.Why were there thunderstorms and tornadoes?
A.The fires generated thunderstorms and tornadoes.
B.There was rainy weather.
C.The fires generated enough heat to create extreme weather.
D.The weather systems are easy to change.
3.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Many soldiers will fight against the fires as they have done before.
B.Fires were controlled due to cooler temperatures and lighter winds.
C.A lot of people moved out of the suburban areas.
D.The damage to property and wildlife is limited.
4.What would be the best title for this passage?
A.Australia's Destructive Wildfires B.Soldiers Fought Against the Fires
C.Wildlife Died From the Fires D.Australia's Wildfires Were Under Control

    This photograph taken and released on Sep. 28, 2018 by Indonesia's National Agency for Disaster Management shows a house destroyed by a 7.5 magnitude(级) earthquake in the small town Donggala on Sulawesi Island. The quake brought down many buildings while tsunami waves hit into its beachfront. "All the things in my house were shaking and it left a small crack on my wall. Anyway, I survived!" one of the local people Mohammad Fikri said by telephone.
    But the biggest killer was probably soil liquefaction(土壤液化), which occurs when a powerful quake turns the dry ground into liquid mire (泥沼) and this totally destroyed several neighborhoods.
    The official death reports rose to 1,948, and most of them were in Palu, the center of the Sulawesi Island. Bodies are still being dug out and the numbers from less populated areas are increasing but they seem to have suffered fewer deaths than the city. "No one knows how many people are missing, especially in the areas hit by liquefaction, but it could be as high as 5, 000," the National Disaster Agency said.Ziyuanku.com
    At a Palu middle school, fewer than 50 of its 697 students came. The school principal Abdul Rashid said at least four students were killed in the quake. "Classes haven't started. We're only collecting data to find out how many students are safe," he said. One boy chatting in the school with friends said he was disappointed that so few of his classmates had shown up. "I'm still waiting for the Ministry of Education to give us instructions on when to begin classes. For now, I don't think we're ready. Many children are so scared that they need time to calm down."
    The government has collected $ 37 million to help victims of the earthquake. With the efforts of rescue workers and volunteers, the supply of gas and electricity has been recovered. Ruins would be cleared and areas hit by liquefaction would be turned into parks, gymnasiums and other public spaces, a spokesman said.

1. It can be learned from Paragraph 1 that _____.

Surviving Hurricane Sandy (飓风桑迪)
    Natalie Doan, 14,has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway, New York. Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the waves from her house. "It's the ocean that makes Rockaway so special," she says.
    On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie's family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city's bridges closed.
    When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie's friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie's school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn.
    In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings.
    "My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me," Natalie says, "but I can always choose how I deal with it."
    Natalie's choice was to help.
    She created a website page matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie posted information about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collection when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick's collection was replaced.
    In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids : Christopher, who received a new basketball ; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-needed supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.
    Today, the scars(创痕) of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. "I can't imagine living anywhere but Rockaway," Natalie declares. "My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before."
1.When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane, she found _________.
A.some friends had lost their lives B.her neighborhood was destroyed
C.her school had moved to Brooklyn D.the elderly were free from suffering
2.According to Paragraph 4, who inspired Natalie most?
A.The people helping Rockaway rebuild.
B.The people trapped in high-rise buildings.
C.The volunteers donating money to survivors.
D.Local teenagers bringing clothing to elderly people.
3.How did Natalie help the survivors?
A.She gave her toys to other kids. B.She took care of younger children.
C.She called on the White House to help. D.She built an information sharing platform.
4.What does the story intend to tell us?
A.Little people can make a big difference. B.A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C.East or west, home is best. D.Technology is power.

    On the tenth anniversary of my father's death, I awoke to loud fire alarms at 3: 30 a.m. Alexis, my older daughter, was standing in the hallway with her cellphone and a blanket wrapped around her younger sister, Sierra. We ran down the stairs to the main floor. The girls stood by the front door while I checked for the cause of the alarms. When I opened the door to my living room, I could see the carpets were smoking heavily. My house was really on fire.
    I shouted to the girls, "Get out! The house is on fire!" They turned and ran out the front door, followed by me. Then we ran through the woods to our neighbor's house. I knocked on my neighbor's front door as police cars passed by.
    Later, I was told that it took the firemen a long time to put out the fire. Standing outside my burned house the next day, I got caught up in lots of questions. I had no cash or bank cards. How was I going to pay for anything? Where would we live? What would happen to my house now? I didn't even know where to start. Luckily, our community helped us a lot.
    The fire burned almost everything, but I still decided to visit our burned house to search through the ruins. It's interesting how you learn what really matters to you in those conditions. I found myself primarily searching for my father's watch. I also found other treasures as I searched for his watch, including the ring my mom gave me when I left for college, a watch my grandmother gave me for high school graduation, and my daughter's unworn dress, which was ruined. I found the last shirt my father had worn before his hospital stay. We had taken a trip after his second course of chemo(化疗). It was the last vacation we had taken before his death. At that moment, I felt differently about the fire.
Paragraph 1:
    I realized the fire gave us wore than it took away. ___________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
    My dad's watch is on my bedside table now, which is a reminder that anyone or anything can be lost without warning. _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

①考查非谓语动词。然而,住在哈尔滨的人们不仅能够经受住寒冷,他们还欢迎寒冷天气的到来。空处在句中作后置定语,修饰 people,因二者之间为逻辑上的主谓关系,故用动词-ing形式。
②考查代词。此处用it指代前面的 the cold。
③考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导一个非限制性定语从句,指代先行词"the Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival",并在从句中作主语,故应用关系代词which。
④考查非谓语动词。尽管温度通常接近零下30摄氏度,人们还是会到城市公园去观看冰雕。根据语境可知,此处应用动词不定式作目的状语。
⑤考查名词复数。空处作主语,表示"参观者";又因为 visitor是可数名词,且其前无限定词修饰,故应用其复数形式。
⑥考查介词。短话 take part in意为"参加"。此处指"他们还可以参加运动项目"。
⑦考查词形转换。空前有不定冠词a,故应填名词形式,表示"庆祝活动"。
⑧考查时态和主谓一致。由从句中的时间状语 over the years可知,从句应用现在完成时。定语从句中 which指代先行词 sculptures,为复数形式,所以从句谓语动词应用复数形式。
⑨考查形容词比较级。随着节日规模的变大,这个节日在哈尔滨市以外也受人欢迎。根据语境可知,此处用形容词的比较级形式。
⑩考查副词。分析句子结构可知,空处应用副词作状语,修饰整个句子。

第一节
答案：
How to Survive in an Earthquake
    Earthquakes have happened in many places recently, causing significant damage. So how to keep safe during an earthquake has become an important issue. Here are some guidelines.
    Above all, don't be nervous and try to keep calm. If you are outdoors, it's necessary to find an open area away from trees, buildings, power lines and anything else that might fall on you. If you are indoors, move to a safe place such as under a strong desk. Cover your head and neck with your arms to protect yourself from falling objects. Finally, never use the lift.
    Actually, we can reduce the damage earthquakes bring us if we take right measures.
第二节
答案：
Paragraph 1:
    I realized the fire gave us more than it took away. One of the greatest gifts we received was the kindness and care from our community. Some people dropped by with food, clothing and money. Others came by to help us search for treasures through the ruins. Another greatest gift we received was that nothing matters more than family. The fire did bum away lots of our personal items, but we saved the most valuable.
Paragraph 2:
My dad's watch is on my bedside table now, which is a reminder that anyone or anything can be lost without warning. I begin learning to treasure everything and teach Alexis and Sierra to do the same as me. At the same time, my girls and I keep watching for those who are in trouble. It is important for us to pay back the kindness we received. We will be grateful forever.
