5、r little girl happy，too.” I looked at Meghan for a long moment.She taught me a lesson.It's easy to give something that we don't want any more，but hard to give what we cherish(珍愛)，isn't it? 【語篇解讀】　作者從女兒身上悟到了何為真正的給予。 1．The writer has________children.

8、 解析：主旨大意題。全文介紹作者看了報紙報道地震之后許多家庭陷入困境，她想借此機會讓孩子們學會關愛他人，結果女兒給自己上了一課。 答案：B B Buildings crashed to the ground in seconds.Thousands of people lost their lives in a flash.Since they were told an earthquake would hit Tokyo around September 16，Japanese people haven't been able to get these thoughts out of

They heard the news from Yoshio Kushida，a researcher who used radio waves to predict that an earthquake would strike with a magnitude(量級) of at least seven.“It would be terrible not to warn people of a possible disaster in case a quake actually occurs，”he said. His warning had a big e

10、ffect.Frightened Tokyo people have been stocking up on water，food and candles in preparation for the terrible day. But Kushida hasn't had much support from the experts.At present，predicting earthquakes is thought to be impossible.No one can tell exactly where or when the next major earthquake will

11、occur.An earthquake begins tens of miles below the earth's surface：it's too faraway to see. Ancient Chinese and Italian scientists forecast earthquakes by special “earthquake clouds”．They found that a week before an earthquake，there were often strange clouds—shaped like snakes，waves or feathers—in

12、the sky.They thought the clouds might come from a gas produced underground by an earthquake. People also used to watch animals to see if earthquakes were coming.When they saw birds fly away suddenly，dogs barking violently or fish jumping out of the water，they told people to leave the areA．Some scie

13、ntists believed animals had a sharper sense of changes taking place underground. But the ancient methods were not reliable enough.Nowadays，scientists use special instruments to predict earthquakes more precisely(精確地)． Satellite systems are very useful：they record small changes in the earth's magne

18、Earthquakes. D．An earthquake in Japan. 解析：主旨理解題。由全文可知，本文講的是地震預報的重要性。 答案：A C Tail spin Two dolphins race around in a big pool in the Ocean Park.The smaller dolphin，Grace，shows off a few of her tricks，turning around and waving hello to the crowd.The most amazing thing about her，however，is that

19、 she's even swimming at all.She doesn't have a tail. Grace lost her tail as a baby when she got caught up in a fish trap.When the dolphin arrived at the Ocean Park in December 2005，she was fighting for her life.“Is she going to make it？”Her trainer，Abbey Stone，feared the worst.Grace did make it—but

20、 her tail didn't.She ended up losing her flukes and the lower part of her peduncle. Over the past six years，she has learned to swim without her tail.Dolphins swim by moving their flukes and peduncle up and down.Grace taught herself to move another way—like a fish！She pushes herself forward through

21、the water by moving her peduncle from side to side. The movements put harmful pressure on Grace's backbone.So a company offered to create a man－made tail for her.The tail had to be strong enough to stay on Grace as she swam but soft enough that it wouldn't hurt her. The first time Grace wore the a

22、rtificial tail，she soon shook it off and let it sink to the bottom of the pool.Now，she is still learning to use the tail.Some days she wears it for an hour at a time，others not at all.“The new tail isn't necessary for her to feel comfortable，”says Stone，“but it helps to keep that range of motion(動作)

23、and build muscles(肌肉)．” Now，the dolphin is about to get an even happier ending.This month，Grace will star in Dolphin Tale，a film that focuses on her rescue and recovery.Her progress has inspired more than just a new movie.Many people travel from near and far to meet her.Seeing Grace swim with her m

24、an－made tail gives people so much courage. 【語篇解讀】　本文為記敘文，講述了一只名叫格雷斯的海豚勇敢面對困難的故事。 9．When Grace first arrived at the Ocean Park，her trainer worried about her________． A．physical build B．potential ability C．chance of survival D．a(chǎn)daptation to the surroundings 解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段中“When the dolphin ar

25、rived at the Ocean Park in December 2005，she was fighting for her life.‘Is she going to make it？’Her trainer，Abbey Stone，feared the worst.”可知此題應選擇C項。 答案：C 10．A man－made tail is created for Grace to________． A．let her recover faster B．make her comfortable C．a(chǎn)djust her way of swimming D．help her

26、 perform better tricks 解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第四段和第五段的描述可知這條人造的尾巴是幫助格雷斯游泳的，故此題選擇C項。 答案：C 11．The story of Grace inspires people to________． A．stick to their dreams B．treat animals friendly C．treasure what they have D．face difficulties bravely 解析：推理判斷題。通讀全文，格雷斯從一開始身陷險境，到失去尾巴，最后有一個圓滿的結局。由此可以看出格雷斯的故事能夠激勵人

27、們勇敢地面對困難，故選擇D項。 答案：D D In April this year，lots of bags full of small change(零錢) were seen at bus stops in Tianjin.They were made for passengers to turn their notes into small change.And such an idea came from four students from Zhongbei Middle School，Tianjin. “People will surely feel worried whe

Then he showed us what to do，especially during an earthquake.We should try our best to keep calm and quickly move to a safe place during an earthquake.If we are indoors，stay there and hide ourselves in a place such as under a strong desk or a strong table.If outdoors，move to an open area where falling objects are unlikely to strike us.Move away from buildings，power lines and trees. I think the speech is very useful and all of us need to know what to do during an earthquake. 11
