2．B

3．D【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇應(yīng)用文。介紹了在災(zāi)難時有幫助的幾款應(yīng)用程序。1．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)SirenGPSMobile下列第二段中“ButitalsoworksonWi-Fiifcellphonenetworksaredownafteranemergency.(但如果緊急情況下手機(jī)網(wǎng)絡(luò)中斷，它也可以在Wi-Fi上運(yùn)行。)”可知，選項B“如果你的手機(jī)網(wǎng)絡(luò)壞了，它就沒用了?！辈皇荢irenGPSMobile應(yīng)用程序的特點(diǎn)。故選B項。2．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Life360下列第一段中“TheLife360appprovidesaservicetokeepthelovedonesconnected.(Life360應(yīng)用程序提供了一種讓親人保持聯(lián)系的服務(wù)。)”可知，如果你有Life360應(yīng)用程序，你能和你社交圈里的人保持聯(lián)系。故選B項。3．推理判斷題。根據(jù)FirstAidbyAmericanRedCross下列段落中“Theappcanalsohelpwithinformationtohelpplanfordroughts,floods,stormsandmore.(該應(yīng)用程序還可以提供信息，有助于對干旱、洪水、風(fēng)暴等做出計劃。)”可知，如果你想提前獲得災(zāi)難的信息，最好的選擇是FirstAidbyAmericanRedCross。故選D項。4．D

5．C

6．C

7．A【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇記敘文。文章講述了作者和丈夫經(jīng)歷了一次龍卷風(fēng)幸存下來的經(jīng)歷。4．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第二句“Thefirstalertmyhusband,Jimmy,67,andI,65,gotcamearound9p.m.,fromsomescrollingtextontheTVJimmywaswatching.”(我和我67歲的丈夫吉米第一次接到警報是在晚上9點(diǎn)左右，當(dāng)時吉米正在看電視上滾動的文本。)可知，丈夫首先從電視節(jié)目上的滾動文本中得知龍卷風(fēng)的警告信息。故選D。5．詞句猜測題。根據(jù)第二段第一句中的“itwasontopofus”(它就在我們上面)和第二句“ItwastheloudestthingIhaveeverheard.”(這是我聽過的最響的聲音。)可知，此處是指發(fā)現(xiàn)龍卷風(fēng)的到來，所以coverage意為“到來”。故選C。6．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段第三句“IheldJimmy'sarmandtriedtobringJimmywithit.”(我抓住吉米的胳膊，想把吉米也拽過來。)和第五句“IfIhadletgo,Jimmywouldhaveflownrightoutthebackofthehouseandintothebay.”(如果我放手，吉米就會從房子后面飛到海灣里去。)可知，妻子并不感到痛苦是因為她用盡了所有的力氣去抓住丈夫。故選C。7．推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段“Nosoonerhadwefoundcoverageofthetornadothanitwasontopofus.ItwastheloudestthingIhaveeverheard.Thebonesofthehouseshook,andthepowerwentout.Thewindbegantoroarthroughthehouse,mostlikelythroughblownoutwindowsandthedoortoourgarage.”（我們一看到龍卷風(fēng)的報道，它就在我們頭頂上。這是我聽過的最響的聲音。房子的骨架搖晃了一下，接著就停電了。風(fēng)開始呼嘯著穿過房子，很可能是從被吹破的窗戶和車庫門吹進(jìn)來的）根據(jù)最后一段最后兩句“Ofthehousesleftstanding,ourssufferedthemostdamage.Amazingly,noneofuswereseverelyinjured.”(在幸存的房屋中，我們的房屋受損最嚴(yán)重。令人驚訝的是，我們都沒有嚴(yán)重受傷。)可知，作者寫這篇文章的目的是和我們分享她在龍卷風(fēng)中幸存的經(jīng)歷。故選A。8．D

9．C

10．A

11．D【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇新聞報道。主要報道了一個世紀(jì)以來最強(qiáng)的地震給美國在加勒比海的一個自治邦——波多黎各地區(qū)造成的破壞以及人們遭受的損失等情況。8．主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段“Cars,cotsandplasticchairsbecametemporarybedsforhundredsoffamilieswholosttheirhomesinsouthwestPuertoRicoasaseriesofearthquakesstrucktheisland;(汽車、帆布床和塑料椅成為波多黎各西南部數(shù)百個家庭的臨時床，這些家庭在一系列地震襲擊該島時失去了家園)”以及“Themagnitude6.4earthquakethatstruckbeforedawnonTuesdaykilledoneperson,injurednineothersandknockedoutpoweracrosstheU.S.Morethan250,000PuertoRicansremainedwithoutwateronWednesdayandanotherhalfamillionwithoutpower,whichalsoaffectedtelecommunications.(周二拂曉前發(fā)生的里氏6.4級地震造成美國1人死亡，9人受傷，電力中斷。周三，250000多名波多黎各人仍然缺水，另有50萬人斷電，這也影響了電信業(yè))”可知，第一段主要描述了地震造成的損失。故選D項。9．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“Thecouplewerealone,feelingsadthattheircaretakerhaddisappearedandwasnotansweringtheircalls.(這對夫婦單獨(dú)待著，很難過他們的護(hù)工失聯(lián)，沒有接聽他們的電話)”可知，這對夫婦與他們的護(hù)工失去聯(lián)系了。故選C項。10．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段“InGuánicaitself,“WearefacingacrisisworsethanHurricaneMaria,”saidMayorSantosSeda,referringtothe2017stormthatdestroyedtheisland.(市長桑托斯·塞達(dá)在談到2017年摧毀該島的風(fēng)暴時表示，只在瓜尼卡島上，“我們面臨的危機(jī)比颶風(fēng)瑪麗亞還要嚴(yán)重”)”可知，2017年，颶風(fēng)“瑪利亞”襲擊了波多黎各地區(qū)。故選A項。11．推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“DayleenOrtizsetupaspeakerontheroofofhercartoplayenergeticsalsamusicandprovidedcrayonsandpaperforchildrenandurgedadultstoshaketheirfears.(DayleenOrtiz在車頂上安裝了一個揚(yáng)聲器，播放充滿活力的薩爾薩音樂，并為兒童提供蠟筆和紙張，促使成年人擺脫恐懼)”以及“Ortizdugbehindcasesofwaterbottles,chairsandblanketsinhercarandproducedeightsmallnewnailpolishesandthegirlsmiledwide.ItwasatrickshelearnedprofessionallytocalmandentertainchildrenandhelpthemhealafterHurricaneMariahit.(Ortiz在車?yán)锏乃俊⒁巫雍吞鹤雍竺嫱诙?，拿出八個新的指甲油，女孩笑得很開心。這是她從專業(yè)角度學(xué)會的一個把戲，讓孩子們平靜下來，娛樂他們，幫助他們在颶風(fēng)瑪麗亞襲擊后康復(fù))”可知，DayleenOrtiz播放充滿活力的音樂，提供蠟筆和紙張供兒童畫畫，鼓勵成年人擺脫恐懼，也想方設(shè)法滿足孩子想成為美容師的愿望，讓孩子開心，這都是她自上次颶風(fēng)“瑪利亞”襲擊該地區(qū)后專業(yè)學(xué)習(xí)到的一種治愈孩子的小技巧，因此可推測，Ortiz是一名心理咨詢師。故選D項。12．C
