AOn February22,2011,the city of Christchurch,on New Zealand’s South Island,experienced an earthquake that measured6.3on the Richter scale.This was the most destructive in a series of earthquakes that began on September4,2010.The shallow depth of the earthquake caused great damage to downtown Christchurch and the surrounding area.Since the earthquake,Christchurch,the largest city in the Canterbury region,has sprung back to life as a travel destination.The city’s rebirth has been fueled by the US$26.5billion Christchurch Rebuild Movement, which the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery calls the largest economic undertaking in New Zealand’s history.From a horrific event,an incredible movement of another kind emerged.Even before the rubble was cleaned and new buildings built,public art and other displays began springing up everywhere.From sculptures to gardens and giant games,the central city is more beautiful than ever.According to the Christchurch and Canterbury government,the region’s economy has grown 31%in the past5years.Passenger arrivals at Christchurch Airport were up16%in the sumer of 2015.International visits were up6%for2015.“The airport served close to6.4million passengers,up from5.9million in2014,the most passengers the airport has ever handled in a single year,”according to a government website.“there are more than800cafes and restaurants in the city,nearly as many as there were pre-quake.New businesses continue to open every month,”the website writes.1.What happened in the city of Christchurch in2010?A.A big earthquake suddenly hit the city.B.A number of quakes started in the fall.C.A shallow quake caused great damage downtown.D.A Richer scale6.3earthquake was recorded.2.How has Christchurch changed according to the text?A.The city center has taken on a new look.B.Museums and art galleries have been rebuilt.C.Sculptures of earthquake victims have been created.D.There have been more cafes than before the quake.3.The good news about Christchurch is that.A.Its economy has grown slightly in the past yearsB.Its airport served the most passengers in the year2014C.Six percent more foreigners visited it in2015than in2014D.The city government invested US$26.5billion on rebuilding it4.What is the text mainly about?A.A destructive earthquake in a large city.B.Booming tourism in a New Zealand city.C.The recovery of an earthquake-stricken city.D.Financial support to rebuilding a ruined city.B“I have nothing to wear!”you might have said to yourself,feeling slightly distressed, wardrobe door wide open,hours before going to a party or important event.Casual or formal?Is this too fancy?Should I be more neatly dressed?How strictly should we follow fashion rules?“Never mix patterns”is one of them.“It’s unnecessary,”says Martine Alexander,adviser to British TV actress.“Matching everything makes you look like you’ve tried too hard.Style should look effortless.”Well,just be careful not to make people’s eyes go funny when they look at you,I say.Men have the issue of white socks.“Unless you’re exercising there is absolutely no appropriate moment to wear white socks,”says Alex Bilmes,editor of the men’s magazine Esquire. And he adds,“These types of rules exist to make sure fashion innocents don’t make such a bad mistake.”We all know that white socks are usually bulky and may look cheap.But there’s a long British tradition of men wearing socks with sandals(凉鞋)so…Maybe critics should just let us wear what we are comfortable with.When you look a particular way,you are sending a message about yourself.It’s not a good idea to go to a job interview wearing shorts or going to the market in your pajamas.But,whatever you wear,do it with confidence.“I don’t fashion.I am fashion,”said Coco Chanel.And designer Gianni Versace said it all:“Don’t be into trends.Don’t make fashion own you,but you decide what you are,and what you want to express,by the way you dress and the way you live.”5.The author writes the first paragraph to.A.Introduce the topic of the textB.Teach the rules of fashionC.Illustrate the problem of choosing what to wearD.Stress the importance of proper dressing6.What does the author advise doing?A.Not wearing white socks with sandals.B.Trying not to look funny to others.C.Minding the dress code for parties.D.Going shopping in shorts.7.Who may the author disagree with concerning his/her idea of fashion?A.Martine Alexander.B.Alex Bilmes.C.Coco Chanel.D.Gianni Versace.CThree of Facebook CEO’s recent remarks and announcements caught my attention:1.He added Ibn Khaldun’s“Muqaddimah”in his reading list.2.He expressed his opinion in public about Ahmed Mohaned incident,the14-year-old boywho was arrested for bringing his home-made clock to school because it was mistaken as someone else’s by the teacher due to her prejudice.3.His open letter to his newborn daughter in a Facebook post.Here I would like to quote part of Mark Zuckerberg’s letter.“Dear Max,Your mother and I don’t yet have the words to describe the hope you give us for the future. Your new life is full of promise.Like all parents,we want you to grow up in a world better than ours today.We will do our part to make this happen,not only because we love you,but also because we have a moral responsibility to all children in the next generation.As you begin the next generation of the Chan and Zuckerberg family,we also begin the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative(倡议).Our first areas of focus will be personalized learning,curing diseases, connecting people and building strong communities.We will give99%of our Facebook shares—currently about$45billion—to advance this mission.We know this is a small contribution compared to all the resources and talents of those already working on these issues.But we want to do what we can,working alongside many others.Max,we love you and feel a great responsibility to leave the world a better place for you and all children.We wish you a life filled with the same love,hope and joy you give us.We can’t wait to see what you bring to this world.Love,Mom and Dad”It’s worth the read.I encourage all to read it,reflect on it,and ask ourselves about what contribution we can make for our children and grandchildren who will inherit the world that we are leaving behind.8.The author recently noticed that Facebook CEO.A.Spent more time readingB.Showed concern on underage crime rateC.Published a letter to his new daughterD.Launched a scholarship fund9.Zuckerberg announces in the letter that he and his wife will.A.Start a new business to educate childrenB.Reflect on their responsibility to their childC.Devote themselves to fighting against social inequalityD.Give away almost all of their personal wealth for charitable10.To start with,the Chan Zucherberg Initiative will focus on.A.Working together with many othersB.Personalized learning and human potentialscation,curing diseases,and connectivityD.Welfare of children of the next generation11.What does the author think of the open letter?A.He recommends it.B.He enjoys reading it.C.He doubts the sincerity of it.D.He considers it an empty letter.DSnow and ice make winter driving a dangerous game,in which motorists can get stuck in the snow–for who knows how long.Not everyone knows what to do when they get stuck in the snow, though some manage to survive through a combination of wits and good luck.So what to do?Outdoor survival expert Brian Brawdy joined Good Morning America to explain what to do if you get stuck with your vehicle in freeing,snowy weather.One of the key questions is whether to stay in the car or go get help.Brawdy says it is better to stick with the car,unless it is an easy walk to safety.“It’ll help block the wind and keep you warm and dry,”Brawdy said.But you should also be aware that staying in the car can be deadly,too.Motorists who are stuck in the snow should step out of the car and quickly check to make sure that their car’s tailpipe isn’t blocked by a chunk of ice,or a pile of snow.If it is,deadly fumes can get into the vehicle.“Carbon monoxide will kill you in a heartbeat,”Brawdy said.He also suggests wiping snow off the taillights or the headlights so that searchers will be able to see the vehicle from a distance.But don’t waste time outside the shelter of your car.Stay inside the vehicle,and buckle up.“Even though you are parked,you will want to apply your seat belt,just in case you get hit from behind,”Brawdy said.You can run the car’s heater,but you should do it only about15minutes every hour to conserve fuel in the car.When the heater is running,crack the back window–ever so slightly just to make sure that those poisonous gasses aren’t wandering inside the car.12.The outdoor survival expert suggests you stay in the car when stuck because.A.It is always safe inside the carB.It is difficult to find a warm placeC.The car can serve as a shelterD.There are can serve as a shelter13.What do the underlined phrase”buckle up”mean in the last paragraph but two?A.Roll up the car window.B.Fasten the safety belt.C.Do up the buttons.D.Start the engine.14.According to Brawdy,what should a motorist do if he gets stuck in the snow?A.Pray for good luck.B.Run the car’s heater every15minutes.C.Clear the car’s tailpipe and lights.D.Break whichever car window.15.Which can be a suitable title for the text?A.Dos and don’ts in Times of Extreme WeatherB.Safety Measures for MotoristsC.Driving Risks in WinterD.Surviving When Your Car Gets Stuck in Snow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。
