You may hear about earthquakes, but do you know what to do before, during and after an earthquake? Here is some advice for you:

Before an earthquake．It is necessary to prepare yourself and your family．All family members should know how to turn off gas, water and electricity (电) and know useful telephone numbers (doctor, hospital, police and 119 etc.)．Never put heavy things over beds.

During an earthquake．It is important for each of you to stay calm．If you are indoors, quickly move to a safe place in the room such as under a strong desk or table．The purpose is to protect yourself from falling things．Stay away from windows, large mirrors, heavy furniture and so on．If you are cooking, turn off the gas．If you are outdoors, move to an open area like a playground．Move away from buildings, bridges and trees．If you are driving, stop the car as soon as possible, staying away from bridges and tall buildings, stay in your car.

After an earthquake．Once the shaking has stopped, DO NOT run out of the building at once．It is better to wait and leave when it is safe．Check around you and help the people who are in trouble．If your building is badly broken, you should leave it．If you smell or hear gas, get everyone outside and open windows and doors．If you can do it safely, turn off the gas．Report it to the gas company.

28．The underlined word “purpose” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “________”.

Most of us believe that our parents will always be there for us．But this is not the case for “left-behind” children (留守儿童)．Their parents work in cities, leaving them behind in the countryside to be cared for by their grandparents．

As of August, China had 6.97 million left-behind children, accounting for (占据) about ⅓ of all rural (农村的) children．With Spring Festival arriving, Ministry of Civil Affairs is calling on migrant (外出打工的民工) parents to return home and celebrate the new year with their kids．

In fact, children living without their parents can face many problems in terms of their education, safety and mental (心理的) health．

For example, their grandparents may not be able to help them with their homework or raise them properly．This can result in children having an unsociable (孤僻的) personality, according to Workers’ Daily．

The government has taken some action to care for and protect left-behind children, such as sending social workers to rural areas．They will report to the government if they find that any left-behind children are suffering from (遭受) abuse (虐待), China Daily noted．

But the best way is to bring their parents back．The government has encouraged migrant workers to return to their rural hometowns to look for work．Another solution is to make it easier for rural children to attend urban schools in the cities, People’s Daily noted．

Some of the government’s efforts have paid off．The number of left-behind children has dropped by 22.7 percent from 9.02 million last year, according to Xinhua.

31．According to the report, China has about ________ rural kids.

A．2.3 million             B．6.97 million           C．9.02 million            D．20.91 million

32．The fourth paragraph mainly tells us ________.

A．what problems left-behind kids have

B．how left-behind kids get on with their grandparents

C．how left-behind kids study at school

D．why left-behind kids get poor grades

33．What is the best way to help left-behind kids?

A．Send social workers to the countryside.

B．Bring their parents back.

C．Help rural kids attend city schools.

D．Train more volunteers to help left-behind kids.

D

Libraries give kids a quiet and safe place to read and learn．For over 100 years, libraries have played an important role in Americans’ education．But how are these book-filled buildings changing with the times? You may be surprised to find out.

Benjamin Franklin famously founded (创建) America’s first lending library in 1731．But the public library system (系统) got its biggest development in the American history in the late 1800s．Businessman Andrew Carnegie donated millions of dollars to help build free public libraries across the country．Between 1886 and 1919, Carnegie’s donations helped build 1,679 new libraries.

Carnegie believed that libraries could offer the chances to Americans, young and old．He knew that the more libraries there were, the more people would have opportunities to read and use books, speeches and news．

If you can easily find a public library in your community (社区), you’ll get more chances．After all, the United States has 9,225 public libraries．Today, libraries keep growing．Seven tenths of the libraries have free Internet．It provides much more information and opportunities (机会) to ask for jobs online.

Libraries are also teaching kids about the fun of reading．The new program Read! Build! Play! adds reading into playtime．As kids listen to a book that is being read aloud, they use Legos (乐高积木) to build images (图像) from the story happily．Today’s libraries are always looking for creative programs to bring people into the library.

Benjamin Franklin once said, “The doors of wisdom (智慧) are never shut.” As long as the doors of public libraries are open, what he said is most certainly correct!

34．The right order of the following statements is ________.

①The public library system in America developed fast.

②The first lending library was founded.

③Libraries provide information and chances to ask for jobs online.

④Libraries try to bring people into the library by using creative programs.

A．②①③④               B．②③④①               C．③④①②               D．①②③④

35．The last paragraph mainly tells us ________.

A．libraries have played an important role in Americans’ education

B．public libraries in the US should never close the doors

C．the writer doesn’t agree with Benjamin Franklin

D．libraries help people to open the doors of wisdom

36．What is the purpose of the new program Read! Build! Play!?

A．To build more libraries.

B．To add reading into playtime.

C．To provide the libraries with free Internet.

D．To look for creative programs to bring people into the libraries.

37．The best title for the passage is ________.

A．the libraries in the world

B．libraries and opportunities

C．libraries teach kids to read and learn

D．the development of the American libraries

六、阅读填空(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分)

先通读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在文章后表格的空格内填入一个最恰当的单词，每个空格只能填一个单词。

We all know that everyone has his own dream as well as his own future．But do you know what future really is? I have to say that future is now．That is to say we must treasure (珍惜) every minute now．If we want to have a bright future, we should know how important time is and use it well.

There is an old English saying: “Gain time, gain life.” Then what’s time? Time is something that we can’t see or touch, but we can feel it passing by．Time is always with us．When we are at table, time passes; when we play, time goes by unnoticeably．We always say “Time is money”, but time is even more precious (珍贵的) than money, because when money is spent, we can earn it back．But if time is gone, it will never return (回来)．So, some of us even say time is priceless.

We should always remember: future is now．For us students, we should work hard in order to make our own future better．We should make the best use of every hour and be the master of today．We should do what we can to do everything as well as possible．And never put off what we can do today till tomorrow.

As we all know, “Time and tide wait for no man.” If you waste today, you will regret (后悔) tomorrow．So from now on, work hard．Tomorrow will be better, and your future will be brighter．Remember: “No pains, no gains.” Today’s hard work is the cause(原因) of tomorrow’s harvest.

参考答案

1．A

【详解】句意：很遗憾，许多野生动物现在处于危险之中。请同情它们，因为它们是我们大家庭的一员。

考查冠词辨析。a是不定冠词，修饰可数名词单数，表示泛指。根据句子结构可知，两个空都修饰名词pity，第一个空后pity是可数名词，指“令人遗憾的事”，用于句型It is a pity that…，用a修饰；第二个空考查固定短语have pity on…，对……同情，没有冠词。故选A。

2．A

【详解】句意：——恐怕我们在山上迷路了。——别担心。我有很好的方向感。

考查名词辨析。direction方向；application应用；competition竞争；instruction说明。根据上文“I’m afraid we are getting lost in the hill”，可知这里是说有好的方向感，故选A。

…………
