Find out what causes tsunamis and read about some notable recent examples of tsunamis that have occurred around the globe.‎ Tsunamis are huge waves of water that are usually caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.‎ As a tsunami approaches the shore, water may move back from the coast. If it is shallow enough, the water may be pulled back hundreds of meters. If you are in the area, observing this is a good indication that a tsunami is on the way.‎ Regions in tsunami danger zones often have warning systems in place to give people as much time to evacuate (撤离) as possible.‎ When tsunamis hit shallow water (often near the coast), they slow down but increase in height.‎ An earthquake in the Indian Ocean off Indonesia in December 2004 caused a tsunami that killed over 200, 000 people in 14 countries.‎ In March 2011, the Tohoku earthquake off the eastern coast of Japan caused a tsunami that was a major factor in the death of over 15, 000 people.‎ The tsunami waves created by the Tohoku earthquake reached heights of over 40 metres (131feet) in mine areas, wiping out coastal towns and causing a number of nuclear accidents.‎ The Japanese word “tsunami” literally means “harbour wave”.‎ Tsunamis are sometimes referred to as tidal waves but this term has fallen out of favour because tsunamis are not related to tides.‎ ‎4．Which of the following shows a tsunami is coming soon?‎ A．An earthquake takes place. B．The water marches towards the coast.‎ C．The water near the shore is pulled back. D．The water near the shore is very shallow.‎ ‎5．In the Tohoku earthquake, over 15,000 people died mainly because of ________.‎ A．the earthquake itself B．the lack of warming systems C．the tsunami caused by the earthquake D．the nuclear accidents caused by the tsunami ‎6．What can we learn from the passage?‎ A．The word “tsunami” is from British English.‎ B．The term “tidal wave” is used more often than “tsunami.”‎ C．Some nuclear accidents happened after Indonesia tsunami.‎ D．More people died in Indonesia tsunami than in Tohaku tsunami.‎ ‎7．The passage is developed mainly by _________.‎ A．listing some facts B．making some comparison C．providing some numbers D．making some conclusions C When Sally Millsopp, 53, with her 17-year-old daughter, Eleanor, participated in Race for Life in 2019. She had no idea if she would get to see her mother Jennifer Earnshaw again, who was desperately ill with a form of lung cancer, but she encouraged the pair to take part in the event as she knew the fundraising would help others.‎ They managed to make it back to her bedside just in time to show her the photographs. Jennifer, who was a former head teacher, passed away the following day, aged 76.‎ Ms Millsopp and her daughter are once again participating in the Race for Life on May 13 this year to the memory of Jennifer, and will be speaking on stage to inspire others.‎ ‎“Mum was a selfless person. I knew she really wanted us to do Race for Life but it was hard not knowing if I would be there with her at the end. When we reached the finish line, Eleanor and I both felt elated that we’d done something so positive at such a sad time. We had a big hug and knew it was something Mum would be proud of,” said Ms Millsopp.‎ One in two people in the UK will be diagnosed with cancer, but the good news is more people are surviving the disease now than ever before. Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life, in partnership with Tesco, is an inspiring women--only series of 5k, 10k, Pretty Muddy and Hiking events which raise millions of pounds every year to help beat cancer sooner by funding vital research.‎ Gemma Turpin, Cancer Research UK’s Norwich event manager, said, “We are very grateful to Sally and Eleanor for their story that highlights how special Race for Life is to people. By following them, women in Norfolk can make a real difference in the fight against cancer. Money raised through Race for Life is helping beat over 200 different types of cancer ——that’s why every step, every person and every penny raised counts.‎ ‎8．What do we know about Jennifer Earnshaw?‎ A．She used to take part in Race For Life.‎ B．She had a sense of social responsibility.‎ C．She died without seeing Sally and Eleanor.‎ D．She worried about her cancer’s influence on Sally.‎ ‎9．What does the underlined word elated in Paragraph 4 mean?‎ A．Really interested. B．Desperately tired.‎ C．Extremely excited. D．Deeply embarrassed.‎ ‎10．What is the purpose of Paragraph 5?‎ A．To add some background information. B．To summarize the previous paragraphs.‎ C．To report news about cancer treatment. D．To introduce a new topic for discussion.‎ ‎11．What's the best title for the text?‎ A．Running in memory of mother. B．Living life with a selfless heart.‎ C．Joining the race to keep healthy. D．Struggling to survive from cancer.‎ D The Notre Dame (巴黎圣母院) fire has been put out, but its spire (尖顶) and a large portion of its wooden roof have been damaged. The terrible destruction causes a sudden sharp pain to people around the world. “What a pity that we cannot see the damaged parts of the wonder anymore.”‎ But the good news is that there is at least one way of seeing them, namely through a video game called Assassin’s Creed: Unity. In this game, the player can travel to one city after another and enter the buildings exactly like what they are in reality, and see Notre Dame as it was before the fire. Further, with virtual reality technology, which is already quite mature, one can even look around the undamaged Notre Dame as if it is still there. Maybe digital technology could help to better protect architectural cultural heritage.‎ The idea of making digital models of ancient buildings to save their data dates back to the 1990s and the necessary technology has continued to advance since then. By scanning the ancient buildings with lasers, building 3D models with multiple images, as well as measuring everything precisely, engineers can make a copy as accurate as the real one.‎ As computers and smartphones are hugely popular, the digital model has great useful value. First, it allows tourists to feel the cultural relics without touching them. The virtual tour of Dunhuang Grottoes in Gansu Province is a good example of this as tourists can view the paintings without standing near them. Furthermore, it can make the digitized cultural relics more famous by spreading awareness about them via the Internet. In 2000, a virtual tour of the Great Wall became very popular at the Hannover World Expo, which increased the number of foreign tourists visiting the site in the following years. Above all, it preserves all the information of the cultural relics.‎ Of course, however precise a model is, it is not the original. Maybe we will have better ‎ technologies in the future, but the digital technology offers a practical way to preserve architectural cultural heritage at the moment.‎ ‎12．What can we see about Notre Dame in the game?‎ A．The damaged Notre Dame. B．Its wooden shape.‎ C．The big fire. D．Its original look.‎ ‎13．What will engineers do to create a digital copy of the ancient buildings?‎ A．Build 3D models of full size. B．Scan the photos of the buildings C．Measure all the parts exactly. D．Improve the technology needed.‎ ‎14．How does the author prove the digital copy has vital practical importance?‎ A．By giving examples. B．By classification.‎ C．By comparison. D．By listing data.‎ ‎15．What is the author’s attitude towards the application of the technology?‎ A．Delighted B．Supportive C．Doubtful D．Conservative 第二节（共5小题每小题2分，满分10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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项 When it comes to the benefit of volunteering，a lot of people think it's all about the warm feeling after helping someone. 16 As is known，charity work requires a wide variety of people to do a wide variety of things for everything to work.It means that there are some surprising benefits for volunteers.For example，volunteering：‎ Teaches you new skills.‎ From helping making websites to teaching immigrant kids your native language，or to arranging events for charity，volunteering can really be almost anything.It means that when you get involved in charity work，a lot of the time you will face challenges.17 ‎ Can teach you what truly matters.‎ It's a great way to find new perspectives (角度) on life.When you've been at it for a while，you just might find yourself re－evaluating your advantages. 18 One of my friends went from wanting to be a lawyer to discovering a true passion for teaching.‎ ‎19 ‎ Maybe it is not surprising，but what might surprise you is how genuine these friends are.Some of my long－term friends are people I've met through volunteering.I'm not that kind of guy that makes friends purely for connections，but sometimes it's very convenient to have a broad network.‎ Summed up in one line: volunteering helps you grow. 20 You meet a wide variety of people who don't have a lot in common with.You learn to get along with people involved in many different walks in life.You learn to know what you are to do.So if you've ever considered volunteering，what are you waiting for?‎ A．Helps you make new friends.‎ B．Can help improve social skills.‎ C．You might even decide on a completely new path to take in life.‎ D．As it turns out，that's far from the only benefit.‎ E．Volunteering helps you look outside yourself and your problems.‎ F．Through overcoming the challenges，you learn completely new skills.‎ G．Not only as a person，but it helps you develop your skill as well.‎ 第三节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） ‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 ‎ It was an unforgettable experience.

I’m writing to say something about it. Every year, a great number of tourists go out for sightseeing and relaxation during holidays. While enjoying themselves, some people behave rudely, which really astonished me. Since many people have arranged their journey for the Spring Festival, we should take some measures to remind people of the impolite behavior and improve it.‎ The first thing we need take into consideration is that we must respect and follow local customs. Besides, we’d better not talk loudly in public places to avoid disturbance to others. Also, be aware that queue jumping is unacceptable in many countries.‎ More importantly, if we travel abroad, we should bear in mind that we are representing our country, so we need to be cautious about how we act. Only in this way can we enjoy our trips and have beautiful memories as well.‎ ‎ I would appreciate it if my suggestions were accepted. ‎ Sincerely ‎ ‎ Li Hua
