Question

【題目】Answer the questions.

Big floods in Beijing and Tianjin last summer took the lives if nearly one hundred people.Most of them drowned,but a few people were electrocuted by power lines falling into the water. Cites like Beijing do not often experience big floods -it was called a once-in-a-hundred-year event-and the people in the cities were unprepared when the disaster came.

Climate change seems to be making “unlikely”weather events such as floods more common and it only makes sense to prepare ourselves for when disaster strikes. In the case of floods, just learning to swim won’t help you much. The water flows so fast and is so filled with floating debris（碎片）that even Olympic gold medal winner Ye Shiwen would have troubles keeping her head above water.

The first thing you should do is to take the warnings of heavy rains or typhoons seriously. You should stay home, listen to the news reports and wait for the waters to subside（回落）. If you live at ground level, move to a higher level. You should also call people to tell them you are safe so that they don’t risk their lives searching for you. It’s also a good idea to have a “grab”bag (an emergency bag)”ready at home filled with power bars（能量棒）,a flashlight and bottles of water. In a flood , the electricity is often knocked out and drinking water-becomes contaminated（被污染的）.

The most important thing is to stay calm and be patient. It’s the best way of keeping your head above water.

本文科普了我們遇到洪水時正確的自救和逃生做法，以及日�？梢詾轭A(yù)防洪水所做的準(zhǔn)備。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段最后一句“Cites like Beijing do not often experience big floods... and the people in the cities were unprepared when the disaster came.”可知北京和天津的人沒有做好預(yù)防洪水的準(zhǔn)備。故答案為No, they didn’t.

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段最后一句“The water flows so fast and is so filled with floating debris（碎片）... have troubles keeping her head above water.”可知洪水過快的流速和水中過多的雜物使得游泳再好的人也很難從洪水中逃脫。故答案為Because the water flows to fast and is so filled with floating debris.

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段第一句“The first thing you should do is to take the warnings of heavy rains or typhoons seriously.”可知我們首要做的事情就是警醒暴雨或臺風(fēng)。故答案為It is important to take the warnings of heavy rains or typhoons seriously.

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段第四句“You should also call people to tell them you are safe so that they don’t risk their lives searching for you.”可知我們可以通過電話向其他人報平安，避免他人冒險找我們。故答案為calling them and telling them we are safe.

【5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段倒數(shù)第二句“It’s also a good idea to have a “grab bag (an emergency bag)” ready at home filled with power bars（能量棒）,a flashlight and bottles of water.”可知我們可以在急救包中放能量棒，手電和瓶裝水。故答案為Power bars, a flashlight and bottles of water.

【6】根據(jù)文章第三段第三句“If you live at ground level, move to a higher level.”可知洪水來臨時往高處走是比較明智的。故答案為Because I live at ground level, I will move to a higher level when a flood comes. 此題為開放性題目，其他答案言之有理即可。
