• 2．An earthquake is one of the most common natural calamities.It may cause great damage.So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members.
     Fragile（易碎的）items，like those made of glass are easily broken and should usually be placed on a lower surface，near the ground instead of placing them on cupboards higher up.Never place them near your bed，sofas and other furniture where you would be sitting or lying down.When there is a strong movement，these pieces will fall on the floor directly and not on you.
     There is a strong chance of short circuits（短路） and fire outbreaks during an earthquake.Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.
     During an earthquake，lie beneath an object that is not easily damaged.Do not go near objects that could directly fall on you.Never use the elevator to go down.Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside.Research has shown that most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go out.Use the staircases at all times.
     If you are outdoors，do not take shelter under a tree，streetlights，electric poles or tall buildings.If you are driving，stop your car and stay in a safe place.Do not park your car under a tree or any tall object.
     If trapped in debris（碎片），cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing.Tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can find you.Use a whistle if one is available.Never shout for help.Shouting can cause you to breathe in dangerous dust.Do not light a match because you may burn yourself.Do not move about or kick up dust.
  
  （1）What does the underlined word "calamities" mean in the passage？

  
  A．Scenes.
  B．Disasters.

• 3．I was never very neat，while my roommate Kate was extremely organized.Each of her objects had its place，but mine always hid somewhere.She even labeled（貼標簽）everything.I always looked for everything.Over time，Kate got neater and I got messier.She would push my dirty clothing over，and I would lay my books on her tidy desk.We both got tired of each other.
     War broke out one evening.Kate came into the room.Soon，I heard her screaming，"Take your shoes away!Why under my bed!" Deafened，I saw my shoes flying at me.I jumped to my feet and started yelling.She yelled back louder.
     The room was filled with anger.We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call.Kate answered it.From her end of the conversation，I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill.When she hung up，she quickly crawled（爬）under her covers，sobbing.
     Obviously，that was something she should not go through.All of a sudden，a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.
     Slowly，I collected the pencils，took back the books，made my bed，cleaned the socks and swept the floor，even on her side.I got so into my work that I even didn't noticed Kate had sat up.
     She was watching，her tears dried and her expression showed her disbelief.Then，she reached out her hands to grasp mine.I looked up into her eyes.She smiled at me. "Thanks."
     Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year.We didn't always agree，but we learned the key to living together：giving in，cleaning up and holding on.

• 4．We humans like to conquer.
     For the same reason that soccer players want to hold the World Cup trophy（獎杯） and tennis players crave a Grand Slam win，mountaineers dream of reaching the highest peak on the planet - Mount Qomolangma，which towers about 8，844 meters above sea level.
     "Everybody wants to stand on top of the world，" Mirza Ali from Pakistan who had just "conquered" Mount Qomolangma，told the Los Angeles Times.
     However，this desire to conquer has become so strong that we have begun to travel in the wrong direction.
     During this year's climbing season - from March to May - at least 11 climbers died in the Himalayas，making it one of the worst seasons on record.And the fact that many of the climbers were inexperienced is one of the major factors（因素） contributing to the tragedy，according to USA Today.
     "They don't train very hard.They underestimate（低估） Qomolangma，" Jangbu Sherpa，who has been working as a guide on Mount Qomolangma since 2006，told NBC News. "There are lots of climbers who just want to check the box so that they can say they've been to the top of the world."
     This ignorant attitude of climbers also leads to other problems - apart from putting their own lives at risk，of course.According to HuffPost，the mountain's cleaning group collected 12 tons of trash - including food wrappers（包裝袋），and oxygen tanks - left behind this climbing season.This once holy（神圣的）and peaceful corner of the world has，as The Atlantic reporter Margret Grebowics put it， "lost its magic".
     Perhaps what we should do now is restore meaning to the activity itself - real meaning.And for Alison Levine，a US mountaineer who reached the summit（山頂）of Mount Qomolangma in 2010，the meaning doesn't come with the summit itself，but with everything that led her up to it.
     "When I did make it to the summit，what I realized is that standing on top of a mountain doesn't change you and doesn't change the world，" Levine told the NPR. "It's really about the journey.The journey is the most important thing on any mountain."
     It's true that we humans like to conquer.But the first step of conquering anything is probably to learn to conquer our own greed（貪婪） and ignorance.
  
  （1）What does the underlined word "crave" mean？

  
  A．have no interest in
  B．have a strong desire for
  C．be optimistic about
  D．be likely to win
  （2）What is a major cause of the climbing tragedy this year，according to USA Today？

  
  A．Not having enough training and experience.
  B．Not bringing enough number of oxygen tanks.
  C．Not having professional climbing equipment.
  D．Not being accustomed to the cold weather.
  （3）What matters more to Levine when she climbs？

  
  A．Being on top of the world.
  B．Being able to change the world.
  C．The journey to reach the summit.
  D．The spirit to conquer the summit.
  （4）What attitude does the author hold toward climbing Mount Qomolangma？

  
  A．Regretful.
  B．Critical.
  C．Encouraging.
  D．Doubtful.

第二節(jié) （共1小題；每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分）根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

• 5．It is necessary but difficult for English beginners to memorize new words，and long lists of words seem to make the mission impossible．They are puzzled why they try to memorize words with great efforts but forget them easily．That's why there are often inquiries about how to memorize new words．
  （36）

  Here are some tips to help．
    （37）

  We too often separate the process of new words memorization from pronunciation．In fact these two can be combined and each will enhance the other．Saying the word to ourselves helps activate aural（hearing） memory，which helps the memory．（38）

  The more familiar we are with the word，the greater chance we will have to keep it for the rest of our life．
      Never memorize single English words．（39）

  Relate the word to terms we already know，either as synonym or antonym．For example，the word"gargantuan"is similar in meaning to words"gigantic"，"huge"and"large"．Make a sequence of words："small，medium，large，gigantic，and gargantuan"．
  Create a mental image of the word that involves strong emotions．Think，"The gargantuan whale is going to swallow me whole"．
      Learning English words requires action．Complaining how difficult it is to memorize new words will be of little help．（40）

  Have a try with ten words a day and you will see what a difference you will make in our English learning．
  
  A．So take action right now．
  B．Speak the word while memorizing it．
  C．Memorizing new words is very important．
  D．Actually，some have given up learning new words．
  E．In fact，learning new words needn't be that difficult．
  F．Make as many associations and connections as possible．
  G．The sound of word helps us recall the spelling and familiarizes us with the word．
