Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
Terrible disasters in the last 50 or 100 years have become increasingly common. Over the last 30 years, the number of weather-related disasters has increased quickly, and the disasters have also affected more people and caused more economic loss. However, much of this could be avoided through disaster risk reduction(DRR降低災(zāi)難風(fēng)險(xiǎn)).
A meeting, held in Sendai, Japan last month, opened one day after Cyclone Pam（颶風(fēng)Pam）hit Vanuatu, which struck the islands with winds of up to 340km/h and destroyed the island nation. The speech by the President of Vanuatu was given shortly after that. He begged the international community for support and stronger commitment (承諾)to helping them manage climate and disaster risks. In the face of disasters, it is always the developing countries that suffer most. Damage in these countries is often worse and unluckily, there is limited money and technique to prevent these disasters.
In fact, we have seen Asian countries-especially those that have suffered a lot in disasters can't pay the price. Great loss Asia has suffered comes to a total of almost $ 53 billon yearly over the past 20 years.
At the same time, studies have shown once again that proper prevention saves lives and damage. With this in mind, people at the Sendai meeting were able to come up with new agreements that effective ways of disaster risk reduction will be carried out in the coming years for those who easily get damaged in disasters.
（1）According to the first paragraph, disasters ________.
A.can all be prevented
B.have become more frequent
C.are all weather-related ones
D.affect fewer people than before
（2）We can know from the passage that_______.
A.The Sendai meeting was held one day after a cyclone hit Vanuatu
B.Vanuatu was terribly destroyed by an earthquake
C.The president of Vanuatu begged his country to prevent the disaster
D.Vanuatu is a small island in Japan
（3）Which of the following can be the title of this news report?
A.Proper ways that save lives and damage have come up.
B.The Sendai meeting has made new commitments.
C.Natural disasters have become more common.
D.Some natural disasters can be reduced and avoided.

Answer 1

【答案】
（1）B
（2）A
（3）D
【解析】現(xiàn)在自然災(zāi)害迅速增長(zhǎng)危害著人們的生活和經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展，但這些可以通過(guò)人們的關(guān)注和制定有效措施避免和減少。

（1）B推理判斷題。根據(jù)Terrible disasters in the last 50 or 100 years have become increasingly common.及第一段內(nèi)容可知嚴(yán)重自然災(zāi)害越來(lái)越普遍，和天氣有關(guān)的自然災(zāi)害迅速增長(zhǎng)，嚴(yán)重影響了人們的生活并帶來(lái)了巨大的經(jīng)濟(jì)損失。所以說(shuō)自然災(zāi)害越來(lái)越頻繁，選B.

（2）A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段A meeting, held in Sendai, Japan last month, opened one day after Cyclone Pam（颶風(fēng)Pam）hit Vanuatu可知A項(xiàng)正確B項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)本段He begged the international community for support and stronger commitment (承諾)to helping them manage climate and disaster risks.可知C項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；文中沒(méi)提到Vanuatu的大小，D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。故選A.

（3）D主旨大意題。文中主要講了自然災(zāi)害的嚴(yán)重性及增長(zhǎng)迅速，根據(jù)much of this could be avoided through disaster risk reduction及最后一句With this in mind, people at the Sendai meeting were able to come up with new agreements that effective ways of disaster risk reduction will be carried out in the coming years for those who easily get damaged in disasters.可知這些災(zāi)害可以通過(guò)人們的關(guān)注和制定有效措施避免和減少，故選D.
