Question

【題目】 There are many different kinds of disasters around the world. As an adult you know what to do during a disaster, but what about the children? Some adults think it would probably never happen to them, so they don’t teach their children what to do. Before it’s too late, here are ways to help you prepare your child for a disaster:

Educate: It is always good to let your child know about possible disasters. This doesn’t mean children have to live in fear. When teaching them about disasters, keep the conversation positive（積極的）by telling them there is a solution to the disaster. Keep the conversations short, allow for questions and answer honestly.

Prepare: Always be prepared, that is the best advice for children. For example, when preparing for bad weather, get the tools you need, like candles, radios, food, water and medicine. Teach your child what is needed in certain disasters so that they know what is available for them, if ever needed.

Plan: You should always have a plan for you and your child for any dangerous situation. Write out a simple list that they can read. The plan could start with “l(fā)isten to an adult’s advice and/or call 119”.

Practice: Once you have got the correct safety tools and worked out the right plan, practice every few months. Practicing what to do during a disaster with your child will help them if the time comes.

Disasters can’t be avoided but they can be lessened（減輕）once you are prepared and ready for one.

短文大意：本文作者從“教育、準(zhǔn)備、計(jì)劃和練習(xí)”四個(gè)方面給我們提出了一些安全建議，告訴我們?nèi)绾巫尯⒆觽優(yōu)榭赡艿臑?zāi)難做好準(zhǔn)備。

【1】

題意：disaster這個(gè)詞是什么意思？

考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)“There are many different kinds of disasters around the world世界上有許多不同種類的災(zāi)難”，結(jié)合作者的建議和舉例“For example, when preparing for bad weather, like candles, radios, food, water and medicine在準(zhǔn)備應(yīng)對(duì)壞天氣時(shí)，帶上你需要的工具，比如蠟燭、收音機(jī)、食物、水和藥品”，可知disaster的意思應(yīng)該是災(zāi)難，故選C。

【2】

題意：成年人應(yīng)該教孩子什么？

考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)“Some adults think it would probably never happen to them, so they don’t teach their children what to do. Before it’s too late, here are ways to help you prepare your child for a disaster一些成年人認(rèn)為這可能永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)發(fā)生在他們身上，因此他們沒有教孩子怎么做。在為時(shí)已晚之前，這里有一些方法可以幫助您為孩子做好應(yīng)對(duì)災(zāi)難的準(zhǔn)備”，可知在災(zāi)難來臨的時(shí)候大人們應(yīng)該告訴孩子們?cè)趺醋觯?/span>What to do for a disaster（如何應(yīng)對(duì)災(zāi)難）符合文意，故選C。

【3】

題意：對(duì)孩子來說最重要的是什么？

考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)“Always be prepared, that is the best advice for children時(shí)刻做好準(zhǔn)備，這是對(duì)孩子們最好的建議”，可知Always be prepared for a disaster（總是為災(zāi)難做好準(zhǔn)備）符合題意，故選B。

【4】

題意：這篇文章不建議做什么？

考查推理判斷。A. 幫助災(zāi)區(qū)人民；根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，沒有提到幫助災(zāi)區(qū)的人們，可知說法錯(cuò)誤。B. 讓孩子們了解這個(gè)計(jì)劃；根據(jù)“You should always have a plan for you and your child for any dangerous situation”可知說法正確。C. 記住在某些災(zāi)難中需要什么；根據(jù)“Teach your child what is needed in certain disasters”可知說法正確。D. 為惡劣天氣準(zhǔn)備收音機(jī)；根據(jù)“when preparing for bad weather, get the tools you need, like candles, radios”可知說法正確。綜合以上分析，故選A。

本文關(guān)注的是安全話題，作者就如何讓孩子們?yōu)榭赡艿臑?zāi)難做好準(zhǔn)備給出了四點(diǎn)建議。短文篇幅不長(zhǎng)，難度適中，題目主要涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解、詞義猜測(cè)和推理判斷，考生主要認(rèn)真閱讀短文，將題目和原文細(xì)心對(duì)照，正確解答是不成問題的。例如小題3，問對(duì)孩子來說最重要的是什么，考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)“Always be prepared, that is the best advice for children”，可知作者建議孩子們時(shí)刻做好準(zhǔn)備，Always be prepared for a disaster（總是為災(zāi)難做好準(zhǔn)備）符合題意，故選B。
