26、On August 14, 2021, Haiti was hit by a7.2 magnitude(级数)earthquake. The quake destroyed thousands of buildings, injured over 5,700 people, and left at least 1,297 others dead. Haiti has declared a state of emergency(紧急情况).

The earthquake struck near the town of Petit Trou de Nippes, in the western part of the country. That’s roughly 125 kilometers west of the capital, Port-au-Prince. The earthquake did serious damage in two nearby cities, Les Cayes and Jeremie, with Les Cayes hit the hardest. Homes, schools, churches, and offices were seriously damaged.

The number of injured people was so high that local hospitals have been unable to keep up. A number of medical workers at the general hospital in Les Cayes were themselves trapped in a building. Across the area, people were searching through the rubble(废墟) for survivors. But the earthquake also caused landslides(塌方), making the job even more difficult. There have been many aftershocks—smaller quakes which follow the main earthquake. With many buildings damaged by the earthquake, it’s not certain whether the buildings still standing in the area are safe. Many people are choosing to sleep outside rather than taking the risk of sleeping in a building.

Haiti has still not fully returned to normal from a 7.0 magnitude earthquake which destroyed much of Port-au-Prince and killed over 200,000 people in 2010. The country suffered again in 2016, when it was pounded(袭击) by Hurricane Matthew, which caused huge damage in Haiti. Storm Grace is expected to reach Haiti on Monday, bringing heavy rainfall with it.

Several countries have offered to help Haiti. The government says the country won’t officially ask for outside help until it is clear how much damage there is in all. But Haiti is not a rich country, and the government may not have the money for major efforts to rebuild the damaged areas.

【1】Which was worst affected by this year’s earthquake?

A．Port-au-Prince.

B．Jeremie.

C．Les Cayes.

D．Petit Trou de Nippes.

【2】What does the underlined part “the job” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A．Dealing with landslides.

B．Searching for survivors.

C．Observing aftershocks.

D．Doing building safety-checks.

【3】What do we know about Haiti?

A．It has begun to rebuild after this year’s earthquake.

B．It has just recovered from the 2010 earthquake.

C．It suffered from two kinds of hurricanes in 2016.

D．It has experienced serious disasters in recent years.

【4】What is Haiti’s attitude to seeking foreign aid?

A．Doubtful.

B．Favored.

C．Cautious.

D．Disapproving.

27、The aftermath (后果) of an earthquake can be horrible, but it is important that you are attentive and focused after an earthquake happens. Fires, gas leaks, and injuries are all dangers you might face after an earthquake.【1】By assessing the safety of your location and following the directions of local authorities, your chances of surviving the aftermath of an earthquake will be much higher.

Check yourself for injuries. 【2】 If you’re bleeding, lift your injury up and put pressure on it. If your injury is serious, call for help using a cellphone or try to get rescuers’ attention.

【3】 Use a cellphone to call for help if you have one. If you can’t use a phone, try knocking loudly on something nearby until rescuers find you.

Aftershocks are smaller earthquakes which follow the main shock of an earthquake.【4】 So you should prepare to move to a safe location, like an open outdoor space or a structurally sound building.

Exit the building and go to a safer place once the shaking has stopped. The structure of the building you’re in may have been weakened by the main earthquake.【5】

A．Signal for help if you are trapped.

B．They can cause significant damage.

C．Remain calm as the earthquake occurs.

D．The more prepared you are, the safer you’ll be.

E．Make sure you’re not seriously hurt before you do anything.

F．After the earthquake, you must get medical treatment in time.

G．Therefore, you should leave as soon as possible in case of any aftershocks.

28、There has been a dramatic increase in the number of natural disasters over the past few years, and it is assumed that global warming and climate change could cause even more disasters in the future. Some of the world’s leading cities are facing disasters like floods and heat waves.

London

London’s flood defences are getting older. Since 1982, the Thames Barrier(水闸)has protected the city from the threat of flooding, but it was only designed to last until 2030 and close once every two or three years. About 26 years later, the barrier now closes five or six times a year and according to Environment Agency predictions, by 2050 the barrier will be closed on almost every tide if the problem is not addressed.

There are 26 underground stations, 400 schools, 16 hospitals, an airport and 80 billion worth of property in London’s flood risk area, so large scale flooding would be disastrous.

Paris

Over a six­week period in July and August 2003, more than 11, 400—mainly elderly people—died in France from dehydration(脱水)and extremely high body temperature in a deadly heat wave. Heat waves of similar intensity(强度)are expected every seven years by 2050, so what can be done to make sure such a disaster does not happen again?

One solution is to have air­conditioners installed in elderly care homes. But this is considered a short­term solution, as the increase in demand for electricity also increases carbon emissions(排放)．

In Paris the local authorities are encouraging architects to design new types of buildings such as the building “Flower Tower”, which uses a covering of bamboo to act as a natural air­conditioner.

Shanghai

Shanghai is one of the fastest growing cities on Earth. It has a population of 18 million and is only 4 meters above sea level. Sea levels are predicted to rise by 20 cm within the next century.

An estimated 250，000 people move to Shanghai every year in search of work, placing extra demands on energy consumption. China relies heavily on coal­fired power stations, but these emissions increase temperatures and, in turn, warmer seas increase the risk of typhoons.

【1】What problem should be settled now in London?

A．How to protect the city’s property.

B．Where to build its flood defences.

C．How to use the Thames Barrier to protect the city.

D．How to improve the function of the old flood defences.

【2】Which of the following measures CAN’T solve the heat wave disaster in Paris?

A．Putting up new types of buildings with a covering of bamboo.

B．Having air­conditioners installed in elderly care homes.

C．Forbidding the city to build “Flower Tower”．

D．Encouraging architects to design new types of buildings.

【3】The purpose of the passage is ________．

A．to tell us how to protect the big cities

B．to give advice on how to defend natural disasters

C．to explain what causes flood and heat waves

D．to warn us of the increasing natural disasters in big cities

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．Big Cities Facing Big Disasters

B．Big Disasters in the Future

C．The Increase of Natural Disasters

D．Solutions to Natural Disasters

29、The wish to capture the wonder of nature on a smartphone or camera is understandable. People like the beauty of nature and also want to share with their followers, friends and family, but our relationship with the outdoors should not be centered around social media. The “do it for the ‘‘Instagram’” thought needs to be reconsidered.

Social media has undoubtedly helped attract more visitors to wild places. There are both good and bad sides that come with an increased visitation to these sites. Visiting nature and observing wildlife can help people feel more connected to wild plants and animals. These experiences may encourage more protection of natural spaces. Yet increased traffic to these sites has also caused them harm. Spaces that are ill-equipped to deal with too many visits experience environmental degradation, which in turn can endanger those who take photos by putting them in dangerous situations. Search and rescue cases have increased by 38% in the last few years in LA County, some of which were connected to adventurers trying to capture photos for their social media. Deadly falls in the outdoors can and should be avoided with less photographing for social media.

Recently, one highly visited natural site stopped photography-only tours. Antelope Canyon in Page, Arizona, will no longer be allowing visits that are centered around cameras. Handheld phones will still be allowed, but large tripods (三角架) and monopods (独脚架) will not be. This is a great first step that should be brought to other natural settings, especially in places that have already been completely photographed by professionals.

It is necessary to free ourselves from technology every once and a while. The unhealthy attachment (依恋) to photography and social media feeds has created problems for humans and nature, and should be replaced with practicing mindfulness while in the outdoors.

【1】What does the underlined part “do it for the ‘Instagram’” in the first paragraph refer to?

A．A social phenomenon.

B．A typical human-nature relationship

C．An illegal behavior.

D．A strong preference for natural places.

【2】What does the underlined word “degradation” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Journey.

B．Damage.

C．Movement.

D．Protection.

【3】Which is a reasonable way to decrease unexpected deaths among adventures?

A．Building more rescue teams.

B．improving traffic conditions.

C．Limiting the number of adventurers.

D．Stopping photographing for social media.

【4】Why does the author mention Antelope Canyon in Page, Arizona?

A．To argue against limiting the number of visitors.

B．To provide an example for other natural sites to follow

C．To warn visitors to take fewer photos when travelling outdoors.

D．To call on professional photographers to protect natural beauty.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Health Workers Aim to Save Lives of Mothers, Babies with Smartphone Data

A new project in India and Uganda is aimed at helping health workers save the lives of mothers and babies with information from electronic devices.

The $100 million project is 【1】 by the Rockefeller Foundation, the World Health Organization, UNICEF, the World Bank and other groups. Officials plan to 【2】 the project to a total of 10 countries. The goal is to 【3】 the premature deaths of 6 million women and children by 2030.

Raj Shah is president of the Rockefeller Foundation, which leads the project. The group is providing $60 million of the $100 million 【4】 cost. Shah said the plan is to give health workers low-cost tools to help them gather the information they need to help communities and families most at risk.

The project will provide 【5】 such as real-time risk maps to help health workers reach mothers and children. Workers also will be able to study non-health data on climate or social media patterns to predict and prepare for local disease 【6】 or health emergencies.

Shah told Reuters, "A few years ago, these community health workers had no real technology ... today the vast majority of them have smartphones with data and software technologies in their hands --- and with those, we can help them do their work better."

A U.N. report published last week 【7】 that more women and newborn babies survive now than ever before. But the report said that a baby or a 【8】 woman still dies every 11 seconds somewhere in the world.

Deaths of mothers are nearly 50 times higher for women in sub-Saharan Africa than in 【9】 countries. The report also found that babies in Sub-Saharan Africa are 10 times more 【10】 to die in their first month of life.
