22、 Deserts are found where there is little rainfall or where rain for a whole year falls in only a few weeks' time. Ten inches of rain may be enough for many plants to survive if the rain is spread throughout the year, If it falls, within one or two months and the rest of the year is dry, those plants may die and a desert may form.
Sand begins as tiny pieces of rock that get smaller and smaller as wind and weather wear them down. Sand dunes are formed as winds move the sand across the desert. Bit by bit, the dunes grow over the years, always moving with the winds and changing the shape. Most of them are only a few feet tall, but they can grow to be several hundred feet high.
There is, however, much more to a desert than sand. In the deserts of the southwestern United States, cliffs and deep valleys were formed from thick mud that once lay beneath a sea more than millions of years ago. Over the centuries, the water dried up. Wind, sand, rain, heat and cold all wore away at the remaining rocks. The faces of the desert mountains are always changing—very, very slowly—as these forces of nature continue to work on the rock.
Most deserts have a surprising variety of life. There are plants, animals and insects that: have adapted to life in the desert. During the heat of the day, a visitor may see very few signs of living things, but as the air begins to cool in the evening, the desert comes to life. As the sun begins to rise again in the sky, the desert once again becomes quiet and lonely.
【1】Many plants may survive in deserts when___________.
A.the rain is spread out in a year B.the rain falls only in a few weeks
C.there is little rain in a year D.it is dry all the year round
【2】Sand dunes are formed when___________.
A.sand piles up gradually B.there is plenty of rain in a year
C.the sea has dried up over the years D.pieces of rock get smaller
【3】The underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably means that in a desert there is____________.
A.too much sand B.more sand than before
C.nothing except sand D.something else besides sand
23、On 11 March, 2011, a terrible earthquake shook Japan at 14:46, which immediately generated waves high enough to flood towns along the coasts. Onagawa was one of them. The wave not only left the town flattened, but took the lives of 827 people out of a population of 10, 014.
Ten years on, more than 10,400 people now live in a town that has rebuilt itself with a bold approach. It decided to "adapt" to the tsunami that Mother Nature generates.
From any point in Onagawa, you can see the cove (海湾), the very point that brought waves into the town ten years ago. Instead of covering it with a concrete wall as a tide-preventive breakwater, which the neighboring town has adopted, in Onagawa the view to the ocean is wide open. The town decided that it wants to not only live with the beautiful view of the ocean, but also be able to see the wave with their own eyes when it transforms itself into a frightening tsunami, so that they know which way to run.
The town also moved its centre to the coast where the ground is raised with an embankment (筑堤). A comfortable outdoor shopping mall was built, and the school, city hall and work places are located just few metres higher. The structure allows the whole town to act as one, guiding them toward a newly secured path that will save their lives on higher ground, instead of scattering in all directions.
Strong leadership brought the town to what it is today. Onagawa's young mayor played a vital role in keeping the spirit of the people up. But it came down to other individuals, too, said Toshihiko Abe, former head of the recovery division of the city hall. "The town is small enough to make everyone play a role, leading in one way or the other. No one is left behind. We also make sure that those over 60 stand back and let the younger generation take the lead."
【1】What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us about the tsunami in Ongawa?
A．Its effects.
B．Its causes.
C．The responses to it.
D．The lessons from it.
【2】What might the underlined "bold" mean in Paragraph 2?
A．Typical.
B．Daring.
C．Complicated.
D．Sustainable.
【3】What may help Onagawa against tsunamis?
①the tide-preventive breakwater
②the all-in-one town structure
③the wide open view to the ocean
④the safety path extending in all directions
A．①②
B．①③
C．②④
D．②③
【4】What can we infer about the recovery of Onagawa?
A．Old people should give way.
B．Young generation plays a vital role.
C．Everyone makes a difference.
D．Strong leadership means good governance.
24、In the United States, more than 90 people died across six southern states when strong winds known as tornadoes destroyed homes, office buildings and religious centers on Friday night. Victor Gensini, a weather scientist at Northern Illinois University, called the tornado that traveled hundreds of miles on Friday “Remarkable.” He said the tornado traveled about 300 kilometers. Normally, tornadoes die out in minutes, he said, but this one lasted for hours. He said the storm moved as fast as a car going down a large roadway.
Such weather events do happen in December, but they do not happen often this time of year because the temperature on the ground is not so different from that high in the sky. However, people in Kentucky said the air was warm and wet on Friday. Weather scientists said the mixing of the warm and cold air can create “instability (不稳定)” which produces storms and the fast, spinning (旋转的) winds of tornadoes.
The question is whether the deadly storm came because of climate change. The weather scientists are not completely sure. Gensini said strong winds are common in the winter, but they do not create tornadoes because the air close to the Earth is also cold. Harold Brooks studies tornadoes at the National Severe Storms Laboratory. While the US has more tornadoes than any other country, tornadoes only form once out of every 10 strong storms. As a result, he said, it is hard to say if the winter tornadoes have something to do with climate change. Gensini, however, said the conditions for strong storms are becoming more common in the winter as the planet warms up.
Jason Furtado, a scientist at the University of Oklahoma, said in the past tornadoes happened more often during warm days in the summer. However, as the winter becomes warmer, especially in the southern US, the tornado season will change. More will happen in the winter and fewer will happen in the summer. He said people who live in places like Kentucky, which suffered the most from Friday’s storms, are now living in an area where tornadoes are common.
【1】What can be learned about the tornado “Remarkable”?
A．It is the worst one on record.
B．It lasted only minutes.
C．It was quite damaging.
D．It only traveled along the roadway.
【2】What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A．What is the cause of the tornadoes.
B．Why the weather changes in December.
C．How special the weather is in December.
D．What were people’s attitudes to the tornado on Friday night.
【3】Which of the following may Harold Brooks agree with?
A．A strong storm usually grows into a tornado.
B．Winter tornadoes will be a common thing in the US.
C．The US has more tornadoes in winter than any other country.
D．The connection between winter tornadoes and climate change is unknown.
【4】How will tornadoes change according to Jason Furtado?
A．They will last longer and longer.
B．They will become weaker in Kentucky.
C．They will happen less often in the summer.
D．They will travel faster in colder months.
