Text 1
M：I'm not feeling so well.
W：Get some rest and take these three times a day and you should feel better．If you don't，come back and see me.
Text 2
M：I wonder if I could possibly borrow two bikes from the shop tomorrow? I'll take actual care of them．I promise you.
W：Well．All right，Mark．Just this once．But you have to pick them up yourself．I'm very busy.
M：Oh，that's all right．It's very kind of you．Can I come around now?
W：I'd rather you didn't come immediately as I said I'm very busy at the moment．Come after lunch，Mark.
Text 3
W：Excuse me，sir．I'm going to send this parcel to London．What's the postage for it?
M：Let me see．It's one pound and fifty.
Text 4
W：Have you got any ideas what to buy for Ann's birthday?
M：Well，I've got a new schoolbag and I also have promised to take her to a film．What about you?
W：Oh, I haven't decided yet．I'll probably buy her that new music record as she likes it so much.
Text 5
M：May I help you, Miss?
W：Yes．I have some coins that I need to change.
M：That's great! I can use some change．I'm almost out.
W：You must be very busy today，I guess.
M：We're always busy，but today it's crazy．Now，how do you want it?
Text 6
M：I'm sure it will be wet when we arrive.
W：Yes．I dare say it will be.
M：It will be Sunday so I expected everything will be closed.
W：No．I don't think that's possible．Some places are sure to be open.
M：But the bank should be closed so we shouldn't be able to get some money.
W：Mm，you may be right.
M：Do you think we'll need our overcoats?
W：No．We couldn't possibly.
M：Why not?
W：It will be summer．So it will be hot.
M: Is that very likely in England?
W: Yes．It could happen.
Text 7
W：When I got home last night，I found a letter from the students at the school I used to go to．They want me to go back and talk to them.
M：Oh，really? Are you going?
W：I don't know．I used to hate school，so I don't want to go back very much.
M：But it's different now.
W：Yes，I know．But it's still a difficult decision．You see, when I was at school I used to be a rebel and none of the teachers liked me very much.
M：Well, I think you should go．When I was younger, I used to dream about meeting a famous pop star．You can't disappoint them.
W：You're right．OK, I will go.
Text 8
M：I talked to my great­grandmother on the phone this morning.
W：Your great­grandmother? Do you talk with her often?
M：I try to call her at least once a week．She's a really wonderful woman．She's over 85．I enjoy talking to her．Because she is so understanding，and because she gives me good advice.
W：What advice did she give you today?
M：She told me to be careful because a big storm is coming.
W：She said that a big storm is coming? Is she a weather forecaster?
M：Not exactly．She said that she could feel it in her bones when the storm is coming．I know it sounds funny, but when she feels it，she is usually right.
W：That's not actually so funny．When people get older, they probably have some pain in their joints from decreasing air pressure just before a storm.
M：Then I'd better pay more attention to my greatgrandmother's weather forecast.
Text 9
M: Hello, Mary．Why are you standing here in the cold wind?
W：I'm waiting for a bus, but the buses are very full at this time of the day.
M：Where are you going? This isn't your way home．You must take a bus from the other side of the street to go home.
W：I'm not going home now．I'm going for a walk in the park．I always like to go for a walk before lunch.
M：Then why not walk from here to the park? It isn't very far.
W：Oh，no，Bill．It isn't very interesting to walk through the street；in fact, it's very boring．So I always take a No．3 bus.
Text 10
M：One morning a man was crossing a narrow bridge when he saw a fisherman on the shady bank of the deep，smooth river under him, so he stopped to watch him quietly.
After a few minutes, the fisherman pulled his line in．There was a big，fat fish at the end of it.
The fisherman took it off the hook and threw it back into the water．Then he put his hook and line in again．After a few more minutes he caught another big fish．Again he threw it back into the river．Then, the third time，he caught a small fish．He put it into his basket and started to get ready to go．The man on the bridge was very surprised, so he spoke to the fisherman．He said, “Why did you throw those beautiful, big fish back into the water and keep only that small one？”
The fisherman looked up and answered, “Small fryingpan.”

(2018·河北省邯郸市高一上学期期末)
Four worst earthquakes in this world
Northern Sumatra, Indonesia
Magnitude(震级)—8.6, Date—March 28, 2005
An earthquake happened at Sumatra Islands in the touristy month of March．Being an island area, the earthquake gave rise to a tsunami(海啸)wave and spread to areas as far as SriLanka．The number of deaths is about 1,500 with more than 400 people getting injured.
Rat Islands, Alaska
Magnitude—8.7, Date—April 02, 1965
This earthquake only happened inside water and all the losses were because of the tsunami waves caused by it．The quake gave rise to a huge tsunami causing a loss of thousands of dollars．The good news in this quake was that no human loss or injuries were reported in these islands.
Bio Bio, Chile
Magnitude—8.8, Date—February 27, 2010
This quake happened to take the lives of more than 500 people．The tsunami caused by this quake added to the effects by forcing hundreds of thousands of people to leave their home, of which about 50 are still missing．The number of injured people reached a level of 12,000, thus making one of the worst earthquakes of the human history.
Sumatra, Indonesia
Magnitude—9.1, Date—December 26, 2004
Having its name twice in the list, it is clear that Sumatra comes in the area that is most prone(易于……的)to earthquakes.Just 3 months before the earthquake of 8.6 magnitude, this quake caused much more loss of life and wealth than the later one! The earthquake gave rise to a huge tsunami killing about 300 thousand people all around the countries of South Africa and South Asia.
文章大意：本文介绍了人类史上的四次大地震。
21．The earthquake during which nobody was injured happened in __B__ .
A．2005 B．1965
C．2010 D．2004
解析：细节理解题。根据对第二则地震消息的介绍，特别是最后一句话“The good news in this quake was that no human loss or injuries were reported in these islands.”可知，1965年的这次地震无人员伤亡。
22．What's the magnitude of the earthquake causing the most injuries？ __C__
A．8.6． B．8.7.
C．8.8． D．9.1.
解析：细节理解题。由四则消息的介绍可知，发生在智利的震级8.8的这次地震造成了最多的人员伤亡。
23．Which area is most likely to be hit by an earthquake？ __A__
A．Sumatra． B．Rat Islands.
C．Bio Bio． D．South Asia.
解析：细节理解题。由最后一则消息中的第一句话“Having its name twice in the list, it is clear that Sumatra comes in the area that is most prone(易于……的)to earthquakes.”可知，Sumatra是最可能受到地震袭击的地方。
B

Perfect Disaster
All around us buildings shook．We decided to leave the town．We stopped once we had left the buildings behind us．The carts were moving in opposite directions, though the ground was perfectly flat, and they wouldn't stay in place even with their wheels blocked by stones.
In addition, it seemed as though the sea was being sucked(吸) backwards, as if it were being pushed back by the shaking of the land．Certainly the shoreline moved outwards, and many sea animals were left on dry sand.
Behind us were frightening dark clouds that opened up to show fire­like lightning, but bigger．Not long after that the clouds reached down to the ground and covered the sea．Now came the dust, though still thin．I looked back．A dense cloud appeared behind us, following us like a flood pouring across the land．Then a darkness came that was not like a moonless or cloudy night, but more like being in a closed and unlighted room．You could hear women and children crying, men shouting．Some were calling for parents, others for children; they could only recognize them by their voices.
Darkness and ashes came again, a great weight of them．We stood up and shook the ash off again and again; otherwise we would have been covered with it and crushed by the weight.At last the cloud became thinner and thinner until it was no more than smoke or fog．Soon there was real daylight．The sight that met our still terrified eyes was a changed world, buried in ash like snow.

25．The carts wouldn't stay still because __A__ .
A．the earth was shaking
B．the sea sucked them backwards
C．the wheels had stones under them
D．the lightening frightened the horses
解析：推理判断题。文章在说明“The carts were..．flat, and they wouldn't stay in place...by stones.”之前已有交代，说明是大地抖动，这正是说明了产生此种结果的原因，选A。
26．The reason why it was dark is that __B__ .
A．it was very late at night B．clouds of ash covered the sun
C．there was a very bad storm D．there was no moon that night
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段的句子：Now came the dust, though still thin．I looked back．A dense cloud appeared behind us, following us like a flood pouring across the land．Then a darkness came that was not like a moonless or cloudy night, but more like being in a closed and unlighted room.可知天黑是因为灰尘掩盖了太阳，选B。
27．People tried to find their relations by calling out their names and __A__ .

(2017·福建省龙岩四校第一学期半期考)
Li Bingyin is now studying law at the Stern School of Business at New York University．She wrote this letter just before hurricane Sandy destroyed the East Coast.
Dear readers，
The storm will really take a toll on the city! Right now I am sitting in my dormitory, waiting for the blackout(停电)to come any second, and listening to the wind howl outside my windows．Hurricane Sandy is supposed to hit the East Coast hard today．Due to the bad weather, most schools and universities have canceled classes for Monday and Tuesday.
Luckily, the university has taken measures to prepare for this storm．University officials sent out e­mails with explanation in the case of a blackout, evacuation(撤离), or other emergency．Just recently, I received several text messages from the school about power off in certain dormitories．They advised us to prepare a bag with essentials(生活必需品), in case we needed to leave the building and relocate to a safer location.
Yesterday I went out to buy a flashlight, but all of the nearby stores were sold out．Everyone was stocking up on(存储)water, food and other supplies for the storm.
Right now the city is unusually quiet．On any other day, there would be the sounds of cars, people chatting, and street artists performing．Tonight, there's just the wind and rain hitting the window．The subway system has been closed since last night, and there is rarely anyone on the streets．Hopefully Hurricane Sandy will soon pass without leaving much damage.
Sincerely，
Li Bingyin
