【題目】 Lightning is one of the most beautiful natural phenomena(現(xiàn)象).It is also one of the most deadly phenomena. A bolt of lightning is six times hotter than the surface(表面)of the Sun and gives out 30，000 amps of electricity(電).It can travel at 100, 000 kilometres per hour and has the ability to hit an object up to 40 kilometres away. About 1,000 people around the world are killed by lightning every day.

Only about ten percent of people struck by lightning will actually die, but the others are actually very badly injured, with burns, broken bones, blindness, deafness, paralysis, or memory loss. However, when the electricity passes through their brain, it can occasionally have unusual and even positive effects. Some blind people have got their sight back after being struck by lightning. One woman said a psychological(心理的)test showed her intelligence (智力)had greatly improved, and one man said he could no longer feel cold at all and could go out in temperature below freezing in just a T-shirt!

So what should you do to stay safe in a thunderstorm? The most important rule is to stay inside, but do not go near phones, electrical appliances, plumbing, or water. If you are stuck(困住)outside, do not take shelter under a tree. Instead, roll yourself up into a ball on the ground as small as possible. And do mot think it has to be raining in order for lightning to strike.

Strangely, lightning seems to prefer some people to others. If you are a man, you are six times more likely to be struck by lightning than a woman!

A.something goodB.something bad

C.something strangeD.something useless

【2】In order to stay safe in a thunderstorm, you should not .

A.stay insideB.roll up into a ball

C.Lightning can travel at 10,000 kilometers per hour.

D.A woman is more likely to be struck by lightning than a man.

【4】The writer uses the examples of a man and a woman in Paragraph Two to .

B.make the readers want to know more about lightning

C.help people know lightning will surely improve their intelligence

【2】C

【3】A

【4】D

【5】B

【解析】

文章講述的是閃電是最美麗的自然現(xiàn)象之一，也是最致命的現(xiàn)象之一。如果人類被閃電擊中，會(huì)使人受傷甚至死亡，也有少量被擊中的人會(huì)因此而受益。有閃電在的時(shí)候，最好呆在屋里，遠(yuǎn)離電器。如果在外面，就要遠(yuǎn)離樹(shù)木。

【1】詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)文中Some blind people have got their sight back after being struck by lightning.一些盲人被閃電擊中后視力恢復(fù)了�？芍�positive effect是指積極的影響，根據(jù)下文作者舉例的幾個(gè)例子可見(jiàn)被閃電擊中也有好處，A指的是一些好的事情，故選A。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中If you are stuck(困住)outside, do not take shelter under a tree. 如果你被困在外面，不要躲在樹(shù)下�？芍阍跇�(shù)下是不安全的，故選C。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中Lightning is one of the most beautiful natural phenomena(現(xiàn)象).It is also one of the most deadly phenomena. 閃電是最美麗的自然現(xiàn)象之一，也是最致命的現(xiàn)象之一�？芍�A選項(xiàng)正確；根據(jù)文中Only about ten percent of people struck by lightning will actually die只有大約百分之十的人會(huì)被閃電擊中而死亡�？芍⒉皇谴蟛糠侄紩�(huì)死亡，所以B選項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)文中It can travel at 100, 000 kilometres per hour它可以以每小時(shí)10萬(wàn)公里的速度行駛�？芍�C選項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)文中If you are a man, you are six times more likely to be struck by lightning than a woman! 如果你是男人，你被閃電擊中的幾率是女人的六倍！可知D選項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤，故選A。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的內(nèi)容介紹可知，說(shuō)的是一個(gè)女人說(shuō)她的智力有了很大的提高和一個(gè)男人說(shuō)他再也不會(huì)感覺(jué)到冷，可能推斷出被閃電擊中帶來(lái)的一些令人驚奇的事情，D選項(xiàng)是一些令人驚奇有趣的事情發(fā)生了，比較符合題意，故選D。

【5】推理判斷題。根據(jù)整篇文章的理解可知，主要介紹的是閃電，被閃電擊中的一些有趣現(xiàn)象以及如何防止雷擊，因此更可能是在科學(xué)雜志上能看到此篇文章，故選B。

【題目】閱讀C篇短文，按要求完成下列各題。C
Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don't agree with them.
Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources, we are short of others, for example, fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.
In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best.
（1）List the wastes mentioned in the first paragraph.
（2）What problems can waste bring?①

【題目】閱讀下面短文，補(bǔ)全表格中所缺的信息。
Many students ask for advice about improving their English. There are three basic questions.
The first question is about real English. Li Hao from Hubei wrote, "I enjoy watching English films and listening to real English songs. But it takes a long time. What do you think?"
This is a great way to learn English! Talk about the film or song with your friends, and guess the meaning of the new words. Just enjoy yourself！
The second question is about speaking. Sam, from Suzhou wrote, "Our school has a foreign teacher. But I'm shy and can't speak to her. What should I do?"
When I visit China, lots of people in the street say, "Hello! How are you? Where are you from? Do you like China?" These questions are quite simple, but they are good to start a conversation. Many people are shy when they speak English, so before you begin, take a deep breath and smile! Smiling always helps.
The third question is about vocabulary. Olive, from Anhui wrote, "I want to remember all the new words. I wrote them down, but I forget them quickly, what should I do?"
Try to remember eight or nine words a day. Write them on pieces of paper and put them in your bedroom. Say the words when you see them, and change them every day. And when you're shopping, how about counting the English words, or saying the English names for everything you see?
