课时分层作业(二十四)　

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

Calvin Gillian didn't believe that Norway was the place for an adventurous holiday.However，some friends told him to go there and he loved it.

“I'm an extreme­sports maniac.I've traveled to many different countries，but I didn't expect Norway to be a good place for an extreme holiday.Tourists usually visit Norway because of its old viking history or to go fishing and boating in the  famous fjords(峡湾) to enjoy a relaxing holiday，or to go climbing to enjoy the beauty of nature.But I didn't go for fishing; I wanted adventure.”

“Skiing(滑雪) is the best thing you can do in Norway.Svartisen，the Black Ice glacier，is wonderful.The ice is not the usual white but a deep blue color，like the sea.However，you have to wear special clothes，because skiing on a million­year­old glacier can be very dangerous.”

“Then，there is Hunderfossen Family Park or Troll Park.You can go water skiing and ice skating.It is certainly a beautiful place but it is more expensive than visiting other parts of Norway.”

“I also visited the Holmenkollen Ski Jump in Oslo.The view from the top of the ski jump was wonderful and the ski museum was very interesting.I wanted to try a jump but unfortunately，it's only for professional(职业的) ski­jumpers.Anyway，I was very tired and I needed a break，so I went back to my hotel and got some sleep.”

“Next year，I am going to take my girlfriend to Norway，too.She is having her holiday in Australia now and she wants to have a different type of adventure for next year.”

B

Recently，a woman who lives in a small apartment in San Francisco asked me a question.She wanted to know how to prepare for a big earthquake.In fact，It's quite necessary for people in San Francisco to do that.Since she lives in an apartment，she cannot store water in a backyard or place a rain collection system.Here is my answer to her.

Firstly，you should store water and food.Storing water is actually very easy.A gallon per day is enough for you to drink.You can buy one of those 5­gallon spring water containers and put it in the kitchen.Check the expiration date(截止日期)，and get some new water when needed.Food isn't that hard，either.Get a few cans of soup，some canned fruit，and canned chickpeas or beans.Make sure they all can be eaten without heating.This will cost less than $ 20 and take up very little space in your kitchen. Throw a cheap can­opener in there while you're at it，tape(用胶带粘贴) it to the can，and forget__about__that__one,_too.

Secondly，first aid is going to let you stay out of limited medical facilities(装备)，allowing you to avoid getting truly injured.In a big disaster，you'll probably get hurt.Being able to clean and protect a skin wound is important.The Red Cross first­aid kit is cheap ($16) and small，and contains what you need.

Finally，information is almost as important as the other two.You really want a small radio to know what is going on around you.There are going to be shelters，first­aid facilities，and safe and unsafe areas.You need a radio to know where they are.The National Guard will be somewhere helping out，and you need to learn where.The network will probably be down，so you can't count on that.

Therefore，you just need $60 and about 30 minutes of shopping，and then you can survive for 3 days without any help.

【语篇解读】　一位女士问作者如何为大地震做准备，本文是作者对那位女士的回答。

5．What was the woman's problem?

A．She was afraid of big earthquakes.

B．She didn't have a backyard to store her things.

C．She didn't know how to prepare for a big earthquake.

D．She didn't know how to set up a rain collection system.

C　[细节理解题。根据第一段的She wanted to know how to prepare for a big earthquake.可知，那位女士的问题是：她不知该如何为大地震做准备。]

6．The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means the woman should________.

A．buy another can­opener

B．just leave the can­opener there

C．forget everything she has done

D．tape the can­opener to the can

B　[句意理解题。把开瓶器放在那里后就应该忘记这个开瓶器，作者的意思是只有地震发生后才会用到它。故选B项。]

7．What does the author think of preparing a first­aid kit?

A．It's not an easy thing to do.

B．It can't be used to save a life.

C．It's important in an earthquake.

D．It's too limited for people in a disaster.

C　[推理判断题。根据第三段的In a big disaster，you'll probably get hurt.Being able to clean and protect a skin wound is important.可知，作者认为一个急救箱在地震中很重要。]
