This is the Lakewood Public Address System.This is not a test like the one we had last week.I repeat,this is not a test.The Western Hill fire is spreading toward Lakewood much quicker than we had expected.Currently,we expect the fire to come within twenty miles of Lakewood by six o’clock this evening.We are therefore requiring all people here to leave this area immediately.
Springfield to the north,Point Cabina Station to the east,and Galveston to the south are all in the safe zone.It will take less than thirty minutes to drive to any of these towns.Take as many things as you can fit in your car, but do not be slow.We have orders from the state police to make sure that the entire town of Lakewood is empty by five o’clock today.You have plenty of time to get all your family members,pets,and belongings together,so there is no need to panic.Stay calm,but get started as soon as possible.

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)
第一节(共10小题;每小题2.5分,满分25分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
I’m a speaker and give hundreds of speeches every year.I spoke about appreciation(感激) last month and I used this quote by Albert Schweitzer “Sometimes our light goes out but is blown again into flame by meeting with another human being.Each of us should express the deepest thanks to those who have relighted this inner(内心的) light.”
I asked my audiences to shut their eyes and think about someone who,at some time in their lives,has relighted their inner light.Then I left the room in silence for several minutes.It was always a meaningful experience as they remembered the joy they felt from another person.
One day,a gentleman came up to talk with me and thanked me for creating a new awareness(意识) in him.He said he thought of his eighth-grade history teacher because she was everyone’s favorite teacher and had really made a difference in all of their lives.Several days later,the gentleman found his history teacher and he wrote to her.The following week he received this letter:
Dear John,
You will never know how much your letter meant to me.I am 83 years old,and I am living all alone in one room.My friends are all gone.My family’s gone.I taught 50 years and yours is the first “thank you” letter I have ever gotten from a student.Sometimes I wonder what I did with my life.I will read and reread your letter until the day I die.
The gentleman was sad,“She is always the one we talk about when we have a get-together.She is everyone’s favorite teacher—we love her!But no one had ever told her until she received my letter...”

Earthquakes strike suddenly at any time of the day or night,but there’s no way to tell when.If an earthquake happens,it may cause many deaths,injuries and damage.So you need a good preparation ahead of time.Decide how and where your family will get together if separated.Choose an out-of-state friend or relative that the family members can call after the quake to report where they are and how they are.Know the safe places in each room:under the strong tables,desks,or against inside walls.Keep enough food,water and other things,including a flashlight,a radio,medicines and clothing.
During the earthquake,you should keep a clear head and never be too nervous to know what to do.Protect your head and neck with your arms.If possible,take a book,a pillow or any other things to protect yourself from falling glass and ruins.If you are indoors,you must immediately lie under any strong furniture.If outdoors,move to an open area away from trees,buildings,walls or power poles.If you are in a narrow valley,move to the centre of it and look up for falling stones.If you are in a car,move to the side of the road and stop the car.Do not stop near buildings,power lines or on or under bridges.Stay in your car until the shaking stops.
Do not move a badly injured person unless he is in great danger after the earthquake.Do not use the telephone immediately unless there is a serious injury or fire.Turn on your radio for instructions and news reports.Be prepared for aftershocks.If you want to leave your home,post a message inside your home telling your family members where you can be found.

Everybody hates rats.But in the earthquake capitals of the world — Japan,Los Angeles,Turkey — rats will soon be man’s new best friends.
What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs.Why? Because they can smell people.Dogs save lives.They help rescuers to find living people.But dogs are big and they can’t get into small spaces.So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives:the rat.
How does it work? First,the rat is trained to smell people.When this happens,the rat’s brain gives a signal(信号).This is sent to a small radio on its back,and then the rescuers follow the radio signals.When the rat’s brain activity jumps,the rescuers know that someone is alive.The rat has smelled that person.
Although there are already robots which can do this job,rats are better.Christian Linster at Cornell University,New York,says,“Robots’ noses don’t work well when there are other smells around.Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark.They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs,and unlike robots,they don’t need electricity!
The “rat project” is not finished,but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says,“It would be fantastic.A rat could get into spaces we couldn’t get to,and a rat would get out if it wasn’t safe.”Perhaps for the first time in history,people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake,of course).
【语篇解读】 文章介绍了用老鼠来寻找在地震中被困的人的优势。
28.In the world earthquake capitals,rats will become man’s best friends because they can .
A.take the place of man’s rescue jobs
B.find the position of people alive who are trapped in buildings
C.serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildings
D.get into small spaces
答案 B [推理判断题。根据文章第三段内容可知,人们利用老鼠来搜寻地震中的被困人员,因此答案为B。]
29.From the third paragraph we know the rescuers can judge a person is alive by .
A.the noise made by the rat
B.the rat’s unusual behaviour
C.the signal sent by the radio on the rat’s back
D.the smell given off by the person
答案 C [细节理解题。根据第三段中的“When this happens,the rat’s brain gives a signal(信号).This is sent to a small radio on its back,and then the rescuers follow the radio signals.”可知答案为C。]
30.After reading the passage we know .
A.at present rats have taken the place of dogs in searching for people
B.the “rat project” has been completed
C.people are now happy to see a rat in a building
D.now people still use dogs and robots in performing rescues
答案 D [推理判断题。由文章最后一段中的“The ‘rat project’ is not finished...”可知A、B两项错误;由文章最后两句可排除C。]
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
First rains of the season always make everybody happy.However,as it begins to rain often,you will possibly feel bored. 31 Well,you can do many fun things,which will make the day a truly enjoyable one.

Host a rain dance party! 33 It can also be in your backyard.Make sure that the dance floor is hard and even to avoid accidents.Place the stereo(立体声音响) under the roof in case it gets wet.Call your friends and enjoy the party!
Watch and listen to nature.For example,you can take your bike and ride in a green hilly area. 34 If you can’t go outside your house,sit in the balcony(阳台) with a cup of tea and listen to the sound of water falling on different objects.
There are many things to do on a rainy day.But make sure you take a rain jacket or an umbrella while going out in the rains. 35 When it comes to preventing you catching a cold in the rains,you can eat a lot of vitamin C,and take a bath once you come back home.

34.D [根据该段的主题句Watch and listen to nature和空前的For example,you can take your bike and ride in a green hilly area可知,D项正确。虽然B项也是以You can开头,但是与本段的主题句“赏雨和听雨”不一致。]

Living beside an active volcano(火山) means that small earthquakes are not unusual.Everybody here knows 56. they feel like,and they come 57. no surprise to the local people.For me,they’re a little different,though.
What do you do when there’s an earthquake?Most people would try to leave the building.I live on 58. third floor of a flat with several more stores above me—nobody wants 59. (trap) under that after an earthquake.I guess,if an earthquake came,I would probably just panic rather than think about what I need to do,such as hiding somewhere or 60. (run) out of the building.
I had never felt an earthquake until last week.There was a small earthquake 61. could hardly even be called an earthquake.I was not really 62. (frighten).To feel the earth move like that was just strange.Of course,it 63. (last) only a few seconds.I have spoken to the local people since the event and 64. (luck),there were no injuries or damage 65. (do) by it.But if it had been a real earthquake,I think I would have felt quite differently.

I’m so sorry to hear about the disaster.It caused six deaths and left more than five hundred persons injured.What’s worse,20 persons were missing and over two hundred houses fell down.I hope that none of your family members was injured.
Please don’t be worried.Everything will be fine.If you need any help,please let me know.As one of your best friends,I will do what I can to help you.
Yours sincerely,
Tom
第二节 概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
How many of us could go a week without our cell phone?Do you even bother to memorize phone numbers any more?Technology has made life so convenient for us.However,we have to face facts:Technology has made us lazy and dependent.
What’s the point of getting up,taking a shower,getting dressed,and driving to the movies when you can just sit on the couch and fire up Netflix? We’ve all been there before.You’re on the fence about whether or not you want to get out and do something,but then something comes over you.You start looking around at your PS3 and laptop,then realize you can have just as much fun staying in the house.
Is it even possible to get lost anymore? I get the feeling that we’re getting closer and closer to the day when people won’t even be able to read paper maps anymore.There are already a lot of young adults that have no idea how to navigate(导航) through their own cities without using a GPS.Being able to print out complete turn by turn directions for where you need to go on MapQuest pretty much killed the need for a map.
We have all Googled something that we were completely embarrassed we didn’t know the answer to.According to Google,“How to tie a tie” gets over 500,000 searches a month.Exactly,a quick search on Google will bring up instructional YouTube videos,blog posts,and PDF’s that show you how to do anything.So much for being self sufficient.
Running errands(跑腿) used to take up entire Saturday mornings.By the time you got home,you were tired and just wanted to relax.Well thanks to online shopping and services like Peapod,running your own errands is a thing of the past.
I’m definitely part of the problem here because I love online shopping.But I can admit that it has made me somewhat lazy.
