At 2:30 on December 5, 1945, five US Navy training planes took off in clear weather from the base Lauderdale, Florida．The planes flew east over the coast… and disappeared．The group was Flight 19, on a run between Florida and Bahamas. Tailor was the group leader.  At about3∶40, Tailor reported that his compasses were not reading properly. The other planes followed their leaders aimlessly, first east, then west, then northeast over the ocean, as Tailor tried to make sure of the direction by radio. Then, suddenly Tailor was heard to give orders to dive…

Quickly, Two giant Martin seaplanes were sent up to search for Flight 19. Several hours later, the wind became strong and visibility (能見度) dropped．A return to base was ordered．But only one of the Martin seaplanes landed．Fore days later, the Navy and Coast Guard combed a100, 000 square miles area with more than 100 planes and ships. No sign was ever shown of the missing planes.

Today, people have noted the disappearance of many ships and planes in the southwest part of the North Atlantic and began to call this area the Bermuda Triangle(百慕大三角區(qū)).

The points of the triangle are Bermuda, Puerto Rico and a spot in the Gulf of Mexico, west of Florida．It is a twofaced water world of tiny islands, bright beaches and beautiful waters. Yet thick fogs, powerful currents (激流) and sudden storms are hidden behind this smiling surface.

1. Why did Flight 19 disappear?

A．Because the wind became strong and visibility dropped

B．Because Tailor was given wrong orders to dive.

C．Because Tailor couldn’t reed his compasses correctly.

D．Because something unknown made the compasses unable to work as usual.

2. In what position did Flight 19 disappear?

A．In the southeast part of the Atlantic Ocean.

B．In the northeast part of the Atlantic Ocean.

C．To the southwest of Bermuda in the Atlantic Ocean.

D．To the northeast of Bermuda in the Atlantic Ocean.

Diao Weihao, a student who studies business English at the Chengdu campus of Sichuan International Studies University, was in his dormitory when the earthquake struck at 2:30 pm on Monday.
The 22-year-old felt that his chair was shaking. All of a sudden, the textbooks on the bookshelf began to fall to the floor. The glass in the window broke.
“It felt like our dormitory building was being hit by a tractor,” recalled Diao. “I wasn’t afraid.. I was even excited and curious. Now, looking back, it was a scary experience.”
Diao and his roommates kept their calm. They didn’t try to get out of the building until the shaking stopped. They were on the fifth floor and they feared there might be trouble if they didn’t remain calm.
“We’ve watched lots of disaster films, and that helped us keep cool,” he said. “Only one student sprained（扭傷） his ankle. He was escaping in a hurry. Most of us got outside quickly and safely.”
They were surprised to see so many students outside.
“I began to realize then what had happened,” he said. The college had warned them that in the event of an earthquake, they should leave the dormitory immediately. A few did rush in when it was safe to grab some clothes to keep warm.
Without any tents or bedding, the students stayed on the football field for the whole night. Rain started falling in the morning, but the students all kept in good order. They simply chatted and shared their feelings and comforted each other.
“Our students seemed to have self-control,” he said. “I heard that hospitals in Chengdu have lots of injured people who jumped out of buildings.”
Now, Diao is mostly worried about the people in Wenchuan County.
“It seems we won’t be able to have classes in one or two day’s time,” said Diao. “I want to become a volunteer at the damage-hit area, or donate my blood to the injured people in hospital. Also, I will write on my blog to keep people calm and encourage them to protect themselves during emergencies.”
Since the university is close to Dujiangyan, Diao and his classmates are still forbidden to return to their dorms or classrooms. However, they can eat in the canteen and get information about other parts of Sichuan by reading the newspapers.
【小題1】Where was Diao Weihao when the earthquake happened?

A．He was in the campus.B．He was in the football field.
C．He was in his dormitoryD．He was in his classroom.
【小題2】What did Diao Weihao feel when he realized what was happening?
A．AfraidB．InterestingC．MovedD．Calm
【小題3】When did Diao Weihao and his classmates rushed outside?
A．During the quake

C．After the quake
D．When they got warnings.
【小題4】Rearrange the following events in the proper order according to the passage.
a. They got out of buildings safely.
b. Diao Weihao was in his dormitory.
c. Diao Weihao wanted to be a volunteer.
d. Many classmates went out of the building.
e. An earthquake happened.
f. They stayed on the football field for the whole night.
A．b→e→a→d→f→cB．b→e→d→a→f→c

科目：高中英語 來源：2015屆河北省高一下學(xué)期第二次月考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

One evening I went out and left my 17-year-old son and his girlfriend in charge of his 8-year-old brother and 4-year-old sister. I left with complete confidence that the older children would do a wonderful job of babysitting the younger children. Later, I discovered that I was completely wrong.

I had decided to return home earlier than planned so that my son and his girlfriend could go out. I called home with this happy news．But instead of hearing his cheerful, grateful voice on the other end of the line, all I heard was the sound of a telephone ringing.

It was, I should point out, after 10 p.m., when the two younger children should have been in bed, and when the two older children should have been answering the phone. “I’ll give him a lesson, ” I said．I decided they must be outside．Why they might be outside at 10:30 on a winter night I had no idea, but it was the only explanation I could come up with.

Finally, in desperation（絕望）, I called his girlfriend’s house. His girlfriend answered．“Yes,” she said brightly, “He’s right here.”

He came on the phone．I was not my usual calm, patient．After all, one of the rules of survival for modern parents is that you can’t trust modern teenagers. “Where are the children?” I said. He said they were with him．They had done nothing wrong．My son had taken the younger children over to his girlfriend’s house just for ice cream and cake． Well, it turns out that I shouldn’t have believed it．It was only part of the truth.

The following Saturday evening we were at my parents’ home, celebrating my birthday．My oldest son gave me the children’s gifts --- a series of lovely color photographs of my children, dressed in their best clothes, and wearing their most wonderful expressions. They are pictures to treasure a lifetime, all taken by the father of my son’s girlfriend.

1.The author went out and left her eldest son in charge of the younger children because

_____.

A．she knew that his girlfriend was a good baby-sitter

B．she believed he could take good care of the younger ones with the help of his girlfriend

C．the older children have always loved the younger ones

D．she could not find a baby-sitter on that winter night

2.Shortly after the author left home one evening, she discovered that _____.

A．her son had brought his girlfriend home

B．her son had left home with his girlfriend

C．she shouldn’t have completely trusted her son

D．she should have taken the children along with her

A．had their pictures taken                  B．received some gifts

C．had a birthday party                     D．showed off their best clothes
