An express train was due to go past about thirty minutes later. If it were not stopped, that long train, full of passengers, would fall into the stream “Someone must go to the station and warn the stationmaster，” Kate thought. But who was to go? She would have to go herself. There was no one else.‎ ‎ In wind and rain she started on her difficult way. Soon she was at the bridge that crossed the Des Moines River, a bridge also built of wood, just like the bridge across Honey Creek.‎ ‎ The storm had not washed this away, but there was no footpath across it. She would have to cross it by stepping from sleeper(枕木) to sleeper. With great care she began the dangerous crossing, sometimes on her hands and knees, hardly daring to look down between the sleepers into the wild flood waters below. If she should slip, she would fall between the sleepers, into the rapidly flowing stream.‎ ‎ At last — she never knew how long it had taken her — she felt solid ground under her feet. But there was no time to rest. She still had to run more than half a mile and had only a few minutes left. Unless she reached the station before the express did, many, many lives would be lost. She did reach the station just as the train came into sight. Fortunately the stationmaster was standing outside. “The bridge is down! Stop the train! Oh, please stop it！” Kate shouted breathlessly. The stationmaster went pale. He rushed into the station building and came back with a signal light. He waved the red light as the train came into the station. It was not a second too early.‎ ‎25．What did Kate decide to do?‎ A．Visit the stationmaster. ‎ B．Check the signal light.‎ C．Meet the passengers.‎ D．Stop the express train.‎ ‎26．Which of the following words best describes Kate's journey?‎ A．Fruitless. B．Risky.‎ C．Wellplanned. D．Boring.‎ - 21 -‎ ‎27．Why did the stationmaster turn pale?‎ A．He suddenly fell ill.‎ B．He realized the danger.‎ C．He discovered his mistake.‎ D．He became overexcited.‎ C ‎ On the day the tornado hit, there was no indication that severe weather was on its way — the sky was blue and the sun had been out. The first alert my husband, Jimmy, 67, and I, 65, got came around 9 p．m., from some scrolling text on the TV Jimmy was watching. He ran upstairs to find me in our thirdfloor bedroom, and we changed the channel from the presidential primary debate I had been watching to our local Pensacola‎, ‎Florida, station.‎ ‎ No sooner had we found coverage of the tornado than it was on top of us. It was the loudest thing I have ever heard. The bones of the house shook, and the power went out. The wind began to roar through the house, most likely through blownout windows and the door to our garage. We had three flights of steps to navigate to get to the relative safety of the first floor, because the cupboard down there is underneath a brick staircase.‎ ‎ I didn't know how or if we would make it down the steps. It felt as if there were no floor underneath me as the wind lifted me off my feet. I tried to move forward, but this intense pressure held me in place.‎ ‎ As we reached the last flight of steps, our front door blew out. Pieces of glass that looked like crushed ice flew everywhere. Suddenly, a threefootlong tree branch crashed into the door frame. It flew over our heads, missing us by inches. Had we been one step up, it would have hit us.‎ ‎ By the time I reached the cupboard, the tornado had been over us for about a minute. Jimmy pushed me down to the cupboard floor, but he couldn't get inside himself because of the wind. I held Jimmy's arm and tried to bring Jimmy with it. My knees were full of glass, but at that moment, I felt no pain. If I had let go, Jimmy would have flown right out the back of the house and into the bay.‎ ‎ All of a sudden, Jimmy lifted off his feet like people in tornadoes do in the movies. I thought he was gone. And then everything stopped. He landed on his feet. In those first quiet moments, I couldn't believe it was over, Jimmy said he'd go outside to check. “No，” I said. “Don't leave me. Don't leave me.”‎ - 21 -‎ ‎ Our neighbor said the storm lasted four minutes. In that time, four of the twelve town houses in our unit were completely destroyed. Of the houses left standing, ours suffered the most damage. Amazingly, none of us were severely injured.‎ ‎28．Where did the husband first get the warning information about the tornado?‎ ‎ A．From the weather forecast.‎ ‎ B．From a movie he was watching.‎ ‎ C．From the local broadcast station.‎ ‎ D．From the moving words on a TV programme.‎ ‎29．What does the underlined word “coverage” mean?‎ A．Power. B．Description.‎ C．Arrival. D．Delay.‎ ‎30．Why didn't the wife feel pain?‎ A．Because she didn't get any hurt when the storm hit.‎ B．Because she was too scared to feel pain.‎ C．Because she used all her strength to hold on to her husband.‎ D．Because she had reached the cupboard and she was safe.‎ ‎31．What's the author's purpose by writing the passage?‎ A．To share with us her experience of surviving a tornado.‎ B．To warn us of the danger caused by tornados.‎ C．To show us how to fight against a tornado.‎ D．To tell us how to protect us from dangerous tornados.‎ D ‎ Mandara seemed to know something big was about to happen. So she let out a yell, caught hold of her 2yearold daughter Kibibi and climbed up into a tree. She lives at the National Zoo in Washington D．C.‎ ‎ And on Tuesday, August 23rd, witnesses said she seemed to sense the big earthquake that shook much of the East Coast before any humans knew what was going on. And she's not the only one. In the moments before the quake, an orangutan(猩猩) let out a loud call and then climbed to the top of her shelter.‎ ‎ “It's very different from their normal call，” said Brandie Smith, the zookeeper. “The lemurs (monkey like animals of Madagascar) will sound an alarm if they see or hear something highly unusual.”‎ ‎ But you can't see or hear an earthquake 15 minutes before it happens, can you? Maybe you can — if you're an animal.‎ - 21 -‎ ‎ “Animals can hear above and below our range of hearing，” said Brandie Smith. “That's part of their special abilities. They're more sensitive to the environment, which is how they survive.”‎ Primates weren't the only animals that seemed to sense the quake before it happened. One of the elephants made a warning sound and a huge lizard (蜥蜴) ran quickly for cover. The flamingoes (a kind of birds) gathered before the quake and stayed together until the shaking stopped.‎ So what kind of vibrations (震动) were the animals picking up in the moments before the quake? Scientist Susan Hough said earthquakes produce two types of waves — a weak “P” wave and then a much stronger “S” wave. The “P” stands for “primary”. And the “S” stands for “secondary”. She thinks the “P” wave might be what sets the animals off.‎ ‎ Not all the animals behaved unusually before the quake. For example, Smith said the zoo's giant pandas didn't jump up until the shaking actually began. But many of the other animals seemed to know something was coming before it happened. “I'm not surprised at all，” Smith said.‎ ‎32．Why did Mandara act strangely one day?‎ ‎ A．Because it sensed something unusual would happen.‎ ‎ B．Because its daughter Kibibi was injured.‎ ‎ C．Because it heard an orangutan let out a loud call.‎ ‎ D．Because an earthquake had happened.‎ ‎ 33.According to Brandie Smith, ________.‎ ‎ A．many animals' hearing is sharp ‎ B．earthquakes produce two types of waves ‎ C．primates usually gather together before a quake ‎ D．humans can also develop the ability to sense a quake ‎ 34.Which animal seems unable to sense quake?‎ ‎ A．A giant panda. B．A flamingo.‎ ‎ C．A lemur. D．A lizard.‎ ‎ 35.What is the best title for the passage?‎ ‎ A．How Animals Survive a Quake ‎ B．How Animals Differ from Humans ‎ C．How Animals Behave Before a Quake ‎ D．How Animals Protect Their Young in a Quake - 21 -‎ 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Ways to say “Happy birthday to me”‎ ‎ Tomorrow is my birthday, and I'm at an age when not everyone looks forward to cakes and presents.‎ ‎ __36__ It always makes me feel excited to be alive and grateful for my life and my family.

Heavy rain and floods lasted for the past few days. Water in the nearby Tuojiang River rose by almost one meter above warning level (警戒线), caused by heavy rainstorms. More than 120,000 locals and tourists have been helped to leave there because of the terrible disaster. And more than 4,000 shops in the town have been shut. Several bridges over the Tuojiang‎ ‎River have been damaged or destroyed. Water has flowed into many bars, restaurants and hotels in this ancient town, and electricity there has been cut off. About 128,000 people have been affected by the floods. Though the heavy rain has stopped, the popular tourist spot (旅游景点) remains closed for people's safety.‎ ‎ A shoe shop owner named Kuang said the flood was the worst that the town had experienced. “The floods came so quickly that I didn't have time to move the shoes，” he said sadly.‎ ‎ “The flood has led Ancient Town of Fenghuang to become a water town，” said a post on a discussion page on the topic set up on Sina Weibo.‎ - 21 -‎ ‎ “We could only live in an old factory now where many homeless people have to stay together. The crowded space is full of sadness，” Tang said.‎ ‎ At least 14 people were killed in flooding in Hunan Province and the neighboring provinces of Jiangxi and Guangxi last month, Xinhua reported.‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ 单元检测卷(五)‎ 第一部分 答案：‎ ‎1～5　BCAAC　6～10　ABCBC ‎11～15　CABCB　16～20　CBBAB 听力材料 ‎(Text 1)‎ - 21 -‎ M：Could you possibly type this letter?‎ W：I'm sorry, but I can't.

One old man said he dialed the wrong number. But, he added, he'd really enjoyed the poem. A few days later, that old man called. He said that he wanted to hear the poem again. The two men talked.

They've spoken on the phone a few times a month ever since. They haven't gone to a game together or had a cup of coffee together. Their friendship is just to pick up the phone. And to them their best friend is someone they've never met.‎ 第二部分 第一节 A ‎【语篇解读】　这篇文章是一则广告布告。文章鼓励读者参加“Wellsville Skate Park”商标设计大赛。‎ ‎21．答案与解析：A　细节理解题。根据第一段“A welldesigned logo will provide an opportunity for young artists to receive recognition as well as great prizes.”可知广告试图通过提供丰厚的奖品，鼓励读者参加这次竞赛。‎ ‎22．答案与解析：C　细节理解题。根据“Logo Requirements”部分“The words ‘Wellsville Skate Park’ must appear in the logo.”可知提交的设计必须包含这个滑冰公园的全名，故选C。‎ ‎23．答案与解析：B　细节理解题。根据“Deadline”部分“Winning designs will be posted on our website at www.wellsville.skatepark. com on August 20.”可知获胜者将会在网站上被宣布，故选B。‎ ‎24．答案与解析：D　推理判断题。这篇文章是一则广告布告，鼓励读者参加“Wellsville Skate Park”商标设计大赛。由此推断出，如果你想参加这次大赛，“设计商标——指南”这个网站最有帮助，故选D。‎ B - 21 -‎ ‎【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是，桥坏了，Kate冒险去向火车站站长报告，阻止了火车，避免了一场车毁人亡的灾难。‎ ‎25．答案与解析：D　细节理解题。根据第一段“She would have to go herself.
