阅读短文，按要求完成短文后的各项任务。
Because earthquakes happen without warning, it’s important to take steps now to prepare. Because you don’t know where you will be when an earthquake happens, prepare some supplies for your home, workplace and car.
1. Water
A person needs 1or 2 gallons of water daily just for drinking. (1)So store
1 gallon of water per person every day and be prepared for a 72-hour period. It is suggested that you buy bottled water. Keep bottled water in its original container and (2) do not open it until you need to use it. Also, do check the “use by” date.
2. Food
It’s always a practical idea to keep a supply of non-perishable (不易腐烂的) food on hand. Have an enough supply of canned food, powered milk, dried fruits, non-salted nuts and canned juices for at least 72 hours.
3. Flash light (手电筒) and spare batteries
Keep a flashlight beside your bed, at your place of work, and in your car. Do not use matches or candles after an earthquake until you are sure there are no gas leaks. Prepare a battery-powered radio and spare batteries. Most telephones will be out of order, so radios will be your best source of information.
4. Clothes
If you live in a cold place, you must think about warmth. You might not have heat after an earthquake. Think about your clothing and bedding supplies.
小题1:在（1）句的空白处分别填入一个适当的词使句意完整、上下文通顺。
小题2:将（2）句译成中文。
小题3:回答问题： When can we use matches or candles after an earthquake?
小题4:在文中找出与Most telephones will not be in service and radios will supply information for you.意思相同或相近的句子，并将它写在答题卡上。
小题5:在文中找出最能表达该短文主题的句子，并将它写在答题卡上。

答案

小题1:at least
小题2:直到你需要使用它时才把它打开。
小题3:When you are sure there are no gas leaks.
小题4:Most telephones will be out of order, so radios will be your best source of information.
小题5:Because you don’t know where you will be when an earthquake happens, prepare some supplies for your home, workplace and cars.

解析

试题分析：短文大意：因为地震发生在没有警告的情况下，采取步骤，做准备是很重要的。因为你不知道地震发生时你会在哪里，所以你应该在你的家、工作场所和汽车里准备一些东西。
小题1:根据句意：一个人每天至少需要喝1或2加仑的水。可知该填写at least。
小题2:直到你需要使用它时才把它打开。
小题3:根据文中Do not use matches or candles after an earthquake until you are sure there are no gas leaks.可知该作答：When you are sure there are no gas leaks.
小题4:Most telephones will not be in service and radios will supply information for you. 大多数的电话不服务，收音机将为您提供信息。与文中句子Most telephones will be out of order, so radios will be your best source of information.同义。
小题5:能表达该短文主题的句子应该是短文开头的Because you don’t know where you will be when an earthquake happens, prepare some supplies for your home, workplace and cars.

举一反三

Knowing how to ask for information and help politely is important. In English, “Where are the restrooms?” and “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?” are similar requests (请求) — both are correct English, but the first could sound rude. It’s important to use correct language, but sometimes this alone is not enough — we need to learn how to be polite when we make requests.

In English, just like in Chinese, we change the way we speak when talking with different people. The expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them. If you say to your teacher, “Where is my book?” this will sound rude. But if you say, “Excuse me, Mr West. Do you know where my book is?” your question will sound much more polite. On the other hand, it might be alright to say “Where is my book?” to the people you know well.
And you would not usually say, “Peter, lend me your pen.” A very direct order like this can sound rude in English. Usually in English polite questions are longer and include extra (附加的) language, such as “Could you please...?” or “Can I ask...?” It sounds more polite to say, “Peter, could you please lend me your pen?” If you stop a stranger in the street, we might first say, “Excuse me. I wonder if you can help me.” or “I’m sorry to trouble you but…” before asking him for help.
It might seem that speaking politely is more difficult than being direct, and in a way this may be true.
小题1:When we make requests, we need to speak in a ____ way.

A．polite

B．careful

C．different

D．direct

小题2:You should say “____” when you ask a stranger for a way.

A．Which is the way to the zoo?

B．How can I get to the zoo?

C．Do you know the way to the zoo?

D．Excuse me. Can you tell me the way to the zoo?

小题3:Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．We should use long sentences when we ask for information and help.

B．When we ask for help from others, polite language must be used.

C．The way of speaking is important when we ask different people for help.

D．In English, polite questions are as neccessary as rude and direct ones.

Imagine having an idea, drawing it on paper, bringing it to a store and seeing it turned into an object. This is now possible with the help of 3D printers. Such machines were once used just by universities and big companies, but now, stores with 3D printing services are appearing around the United States.
Bryan Jaycox and his wife opened The Build Shop LLC in Los Angeles two years ago. The Jaycoxs offer 3D printing classes and services for anyone who is interested.
“I think 3D printing is going to be huge. It’s going to have a huge influence on society as a whole.” says KiChong Tran, one of the students in a recent class. He plans to open a 3D printing business in Cambodia (柬埔寨).
3D printing services are coming into American people’s life. The UPS Store is a nationwide retailer (零售商) that provides copying and other services. The UPS Store recently put 3D printers in three of its independently-owned stores. Burke Jones owns one of the stores in San Diego.
“The demand has been amazing. There has been a lot of interest from people. It’s been much more than I would have imagined.”
The UPS Store plans to add 3D printers in three more stores.
For $11, someone used a 3D printer to produce two small plastic parts as part of a knuckle (指节) for a hand. He works for the company which is testing finger prosthetics (假肢). He says the same–day or next-day printing services will speed up testing of parts and get them to patients faster.
Staples, an American store, is selling 3D printers on its website for as low as about $1,300. As with any technology - experts expect the printing speed to increase and the price to go down.
Bryan Jaycox requires $15 an hour to print an object. He also sets the price depending on the size of the object and up to $50 an hour for design and labor services.
Mr Jaycox thinks that within five years, 3D printing technology could become more user friendly. But KiChong Tran says even today’s technology can make a difference in a developing country like Cambodia.
“With 3D printing you can give them tools, so they are responsible more for their own development and they learn skills beyond just like learning English and becoming a tour guide or something like that. You can actually create things that give value to the world.”
He says it’s not just Cambodia but anywhere where there is a 3D printer, it can turn a good idea into reality.
小题1:What can 3D printers do according to the passage?

A．Come up with an idea.

B．Draw on a piece of paper.

C．Help users to spend less money.

D．Turn an idea into a physical object.

小题2:What does the underlined part mean in this passage?

A．Make users’ life better.

B．Make friends with users.

D．Use 3D printers to make money.

小题3:What can we infer from the passage?

A．3D printing is becoming popular in the world.

B．There is no 3D printing business in Cambodia.

C．The UPS Store is the biggest 3D printing company.

D．3D printing plays the most important role in daily life.

小题4:What’s the passage mainly about?

My 15-year-old brother John and I saw the coat at the same time. The thick black wool of the coat was soft, and it          only 28 dollars. We looked at each other, saying       , but John’s face was shining with joy. Dark woolen coats were popular with boys at that time, and could cost several hundred dollars. But this coat was much           .
John tried on the coat and bought it at once. John wore the coat to school the next day and came home           a big smile. “How did the kids think of your coat?” I asked. “They loved it very much,” he said. I started to           him “Lord (老爷) John”.

One day, my brother and I met a friend in the library. “Could this be John?” he asked in a great surprise. John shook hands with him, just          a gentleman!
