Dan McKena’s high schl cnstructin class has quietly wrked n charitable (慈善的) prjects t benefit the Westerly, Rhde Island, cmmunity fr mre than tw decades. That suddenly changed when the Internet caught wind that mre than ten f McKena’s students at Westerly High Schl banded tgether t build a bus stp fr a lcal schl student wh is wheelchair dependent.
It all started when 5-year-ld Ryder Killam’s father, Tim, psted n Facebk in September that the family was seeking (寻找) a bus stp t replace their bus shelter.

After abut a mnth f hard wrk, Killam’s replacement — which was designed s he culd actually sit in this chair and see the bus — was finished. The end result was a hut ( 小屋) with tw windws that is up t ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) standards.

With just a twel arund Mr Gh Sia Hck’s neck t sak up ( 吸入) his sweat, the 54-year-ld landscape wrker cntinues t wrk utdrs under the midday sun.

本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几种重大自然灾害下的防灾自救知识。
16.E 根据上文“In the backgrund f glbal climate change,majr natural disasters ccur frm time t time.”以及下文“It makes China face even much mre severe and cmplex situatins.”可知E项“中国自然灾害造成的损失不断增加。”承接上文有许多自然灾害,损失不断增加,引出下文面临更严峻和复杂的形势。
17.F 根据上文“In rder t raise the awareness f disaster preventin and minimize the lsses, warnings and instructins are given t the public.”可知为了提高防灾意识,最大限度地减少损失,政府向公众发出警告和指示。F项“它们还在普及知识和自救技能方面发挥了作用。”与上文为并列关系。
18.G 根据上文“When a fire breaks ut, smke threatens mstly.”可知当火灾发生时,烟雾威胁最大。G项“那样的话,请用湿毛巾捂住鼻子和嘴巴。”是火灾发生时避免烟雾威胁的措施。
19.C 结合小标题“Fld”可知,本段主要讲述洪水来临时的办法。C项“试着找一个更高的地方,但是待在屋顶上不是一个好的选择。”符合此处洪水来临时的语境。
20.B 根据上文“On cludy and rainy days, a lightning strike may happen.”可知在阴天和雨天,可能会发生雷击。B项“在这样的天气里,请不要站在树下。”符合此处语境,下雨天站在树下十分危险。
本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了在加州,一名船夫在夜间因为风浪从船上被甩到海里。多亏了一只友好的海豹的鼓励,他在黑暗、冰冷的水中游了5个小时后活了下来。
21.B 根据“While the thught f his the seal swimming alngside him.”可知,因为海豹的鼓励,斯科特最终存活下来。
22.A 根据“The bat was rcked by the wavy water and Sctt gt ut f the bat.”可知,发生了意想不到的事情。
23.D 根据“The bat was rcked by the wavy water”可知,斯科特被撞出了船。
24.C 根据“The engines cntinued t run,mving the bat farther and farther away frm him”可知,船越来越远,所以斯科特不可能游回去。
25.A 根据“The engines cntinued t run,mving the bat farther and farther away frm him,which made it t swim back t it.”可知,船越来越远,最终消失了。
26.D 根据“Lst at sea”可知,汤普森在海中,所以看不见陆地。
27.B 根据“Lst at sea,with n land in ”可知,汤普森绝望了,确信这是他在地球上的最后时刻。故选B项。
28.C 根据“‘Just keep , culdn’t .’”可知,因为汤普森对家人的思念,让他找到了生存的意志。
29.A 根据“and yu will get hme t yur family”可知,汤普森鼓励自己,只要坚持游泳,就能回到家人身边。
30.D break in 闯入;shw up 出现;slw dwn 减速;give up 放弃。根据“Just imagining my girls and my sn grwing up withut me,and my wife nt having a husband t supprt her”可知,汤普森想到家人,知道自己不能放弃。
31.B 根据“like a dg cmes up and pushes yur leg”和“Being pushed alng by the seal”可知,海豹在海里推汤普森。
32.B 根据“Thmpsn recalled,knwing that he wasn’t alne n this heric jurney.”可知,因为海豹在海里时不时地推汤普森,给了他希望。
33.A 根据“which was far but clser than land.”可知,汤普森下定决心游到最近的石油平台。
34.C 根据“he swam thrugh the dark,freezing water fr five hurs,until he managed t reach an il platfrm.”可知,汤普森在海豹的陪伴下游了5个小时。

本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了美国历史上最具破坏性之一的飓风Katrina对城市造成的影响,让受困的人们缺水少食断电,数百万人无家可归。
36.destructive 考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知,此处该用形容词作定语,the mst destructive意为“最具破坏性的”。故填destructive。
37.grew 考查动词的时态。设空处是谓语,且句子描述过去发生的事,需用一般过去时。故填grew。
38.which/that 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,“ was built largely belw sea level”是限制性定语从句,先行词是物(a city),定语从句缺主语,应该填关系代词which或that。
39.reactin 考查词性转换。in reactin t为固定搭配,意为“对……的反应”。
40.t clear 考查非谓语动词。give an rder t d sth.是固定搭配,意为“下令做某事”。故填t clear。
41.wuld keep 考查动词的时态。believed为过去时,此空表达的是将来的动作,故用过去将来时。故填wuld keep。
42.because/as/fr 考查连词。分析句意可知,此处存在因果关系。故填because/as/fr。
43.a 考查冠词。as a result意为“因此”。故填a。
44.anxiusly 考查副词。分析句子结构可知,修饰动词应该用副词。故填anxiusly。
45.millins 考查数词。millins f是固定短语,意为“数百万的,大量的”。
