Find out what causes tsunamis and read about some notable recent examples of tsunamis that have occurred around the globe.Tsunamis are huge waves of water that are usually caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.As a tsunami approaches the shore, water may move back from the coast. If it is shallow enough, the water may be pulled back hundreds of meters. If you are in the area, observing this is a good indication that a tsunami is on the way.Regions in tsunami danger zones often have warning systems in place to give people as much time to evacuate as possible.When tsunamis hit shallow water (often near the coast), they slow down but increase in height.An earthquake in the Indian Ocean off Indonesia in December 2004 caused a tsunami that killed over 200, 000 people in 14 countries.In March 2011, the Tohoku earthquake off the eastern coast of Japan caused a tsunami that was a major factor in the death of over 15, 000 people.The tsunami waves created by the Tohoku earthquake reached heights of over 40 metres (131feet) in nine areas, wiping out coastal towns and causing a number of nuclear accidents.The Japanese word “tsunami” literally means “harbour wave”.Tsunamis are sometimes referred to as tidal waves but this term has fallen out of favour because tsunamis are not related to tides.24. Which of the following shows a tsunami is coming soon?A. The water near the shore is pulled back. B. The water marches towards the coast.C. An earthquake takes place.D. The water near the shore is very shallow.25. In the Tohoku earthquake, over 15,000 people died mainly because of _.A. the earthquake itselfB. the lack of warming systemsC. the tsunami caused by the earthquakeD. the nuclear accidents caused by the tsunami26. What can we learn from the passage?A. There is no sign before the approach of a tsunami.B. More people died in Indonesia tsunami than in Tohoku tsunami.C. Some nuclear accidents happened after Indonesia tsunami.D. The term “tidal wave” is used more often than “tsunami.” 27. The passage is developed mainly _.A. by listing some facts B. by making some comparisonsC. in time orderD. by making some conclusionsCThe European Union on Monday prohibited (禁止) the use of Xray body scanners (扫描仪) in European airports, parting ways with the U.S. Transportation Security Administration(TSA), which has used hundreds of the scanners as a way to screen millions of airline passengers for explosives (爆炸物) hidden under clothing.The European Commission, which enforces common policies of the EUs member countries, adopted the rule “in order not to risk doing harm to citizens health and safety”.As a PBS NewsHour investigation detailed earlier this month, Xray body scanners use ionizing radiation (电离辐射), a form of energy that has been shown to damage DNA and cause cancer. Although the amount of radiation is extremely low, equal to the radiation a person would receive in a few minutes of flying, several research studies have concluded that a small number of cancer cases would result from scanning hundreds of millions of passengers a year.European countries will be allowed to use an alternative (可替代的) body scanner relying on radio frequency waves, which have not been linked to cancer. The U.S. TSA has also used hundreds of those machinesknown as millimeterwave scannersin U.S. airports. But unlike Europe, it has decided to use both types of scanners.The TSA would not comment specifically on the EUs decision. But in a statement, TSA spokesman Mike McCarthy said, “As one of our many layers of security, TSA uses the most advanced technology available to provide the best opportunity to detect (探测) dangerous items, such as explosives.” “We strictly test our technology to ensure it meets our high detection and safety standards before it is placed in airports,” he continued, “Since January 2010, advanced imaging technology has detected more than 300 dangerous or illegal items on passengers in U.S. airports nationwide.”Body scanners have been controversial (有争议的) in the United States since theywere first used in prisons in the late 1990s and then in airports for tests after 9·11.28. Why did the European Union prohibit the use of Xray scanners in European airports?A. Because they rely on radio frequency waves.B. Because they might do harm to passengers.C. Because they are not effective in use.D. Because their radiation is extremely high.29. Which of the following is TRUE about the new body scanners to be used in Europe?A. They wont risk causing cancer.B. They use ionizing radiation.C. They are not used in U.S. airports.D. They can detect more dangerous items.30. What can we infer from TSAs statement?A. The TSA will stop using the Xray scanners.B. The TSA wont use EUs alternative scanners.C. The Xray scanners are safe and effective.D. The EUs alternative scanners are not advanced.31. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The EU and the U.S. have different opinions.B. Europe bans Xray body scanners used at U.S. airports.C. Different scanners will be used in America.D. Body scanners have been controversial.DMy First MarathonA month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P. E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didnt do either well. He later informed me that I was “not athletic”.The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldnt even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoes laces (鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!At mile 3, I passed a sign: “GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.By mile 21, I was starving!As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels (世俗标签), I can now call myself a “marathon winner”. 32. What did the author do after he was injured?A. He continued to train without stopping.B. He gave up running marathon.C. He had to rest for four weeks.D. He made up his mind to run again.33. Why did the author mention the P. E. class in his 7th year?A. To acknowledge the support of his teacher.B. To amuse the readers with a funny story.C. To share a precious memory.D. To show he was not talented in sports.34. How was the authors first marathon?A. He made it. B. He quit halfway.C. He got the first prize. D. He walked to the end.35. What does the story mainly tell us?A. A man owes his success to his family support.B. One is never too old to learn. C. Failure is the mother of success.D. A winner is one with a great effort of will.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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Make Stress Work for YouStress can come from all directions. 36 Rather than only looking for ways to change the stress-filled situations, look for stress that can work for you.
