1．According to a new study published in the journal Nature，earthquakes in the Himalaya can increase the influence of floods （洪水） downstream，probably affecting millions of people．The findings could help researchers improve flood risk maps for the Ganga Plain，an area covering parts of India，Nepal and Pakistan．They could also help better understand the long-term influence of earthquakes in the area．
As we all know，earthquakes may cause huge landslides （滑坡）．For the first time，scientists at the University of Edinburgh have studied the path of rocks washed down from the Himalayan Mountains onto the Ganga Plain．They found that large landslides in the southern part of the Himalaya are more likely to increase flood risk than those in the high mountains further north．Rocks in the south are extremely hard and travel only a short distance-less than 20 km-to reach the Ganga Plain．This means a lot of hard rocks reach the Ganga Plain and can build up in rivers，changing the natural path of the water，the team says．Rocks from more northerly areas of the Himalaya are softer，and the team found they often travel at least 100 km to reach the Ganga Plain．These rocks are gradually broken down into sand and finally spread widely as they travel downstream．
The research，published in the journal Nature，was supported by the Natural Environment Research Council．Elizabeth Dingle，PhD student in the University of Edinburgh's School of GeoSciences，led the study．"Our findings help to explain how events in the Himalaya can have great effects on rivers downstream and on the people who live there．Knowing where landslides take place in the mountains could help us foresee how rivers on the Ganga Plain will be affected，"she said．
（1）What does the new study find？
A．How earthquakes in the Himalaya can increase the flood risk downstream．
B．Whether humans can finish flood risk maps for the Ganga Plain．
C．Whether earthquakes in the Himalaya can cause floods downstream．
D．How earthquakes happen in the Himalaya．
（2）What can we learn from Paragraph 2？
A．Landslides will produce a lot of dangerous hard rocks．
B．Rocks from the Himalaya can be easily broken down into sand．
C．Rocks from the northern Himalaya raise the flood risk downstream．
D．Hard rocks from the Himalaya raise the flood risk downstream．
（3）What does the underlined word"foresee"in the last paragraph most probably mean？
A．Forecast．
B．Check．

2．In fifth grade，on a merry New York City day，my classmates spread across our raggedy classroom carpet.Our teacher had us practicing holiday songs for the upcoming winter show，and with holiday seasonal passion we sang.When we came to one of the Hanukkah （a Jewish festival）songs，a few classmates and I got up and started dancing.We flew around the classroom laughing，our movements becoming irregular as the song progressed.Then one boy stood up and said something along the lines of，"Stop!You're making fun of Jewish people!"
Our student-teacher stopped the song，the boy looked at us angrily as the student-teacher began to lecture，us on our behavior.How we were being disrespectful to the boy's culture-how the dancing was wrong.I was surprised at the outburst and，as a Jewish person myself，did not understand why the boy was offended，or why I was in trouble.I was embarrassed and made to feel disrespected my own culture.
At the beginning of middle school，with the Hanukkah song incident still fresh in my mind，I began to interact more with my Jewish heritage（血統(tǒng)）.I started going to Hebrew school.I carefully listened to prayers and committed them to memory.The legitimacy（正統(tǒng)）of my Jewish heritage was questioned by my peers，especially around the Jewish holidays.They would ask if I was "really Jewish，" as if there was a standard set of requirements I needed to meet.I didn't have my Bat Mitzvah（猶太成人禮），so that meant I couldn't be truly Jewish.jye.ai said.I asked myself if the accusations were true.It felt like I need to prove my Jewish-ness in some way.I began looking for ways to connect with and represent my Judaism.
When I walked into a store in December.I noticed the abundance of Christmas items，and lack of Hanukkah pieces.Maybe there would be a menorah（燭臺）in storefronts，or a few dreidels（陀螺）and chocolate gold coins，if I was lucky.Instead of feeling left out or ignored.I started to make a game out of it.In high school，I would walk the streets of the city and peer into store windows，marking down all the Hanukkah related things I discovered.
（1）Why did the class sing the songs according to paragraph l？
A．To prepare for the coming performance.
B．To make the angry boy happy.
C．To celebrate a traditional Jewish festival.
D．To respond to the happy dancers.
（2）What did the author experience during her middle school？
A．racial discrimination.
B．identity question.
C．culture attack.
D．criminal charges.
（3）How did the author do to prove she's a true Jew？
A．She opened a store to sell Hanukkah items.
B．She searched for the things related to her own culture.
C．She advocated her own culture and made it known to more.
D．She requested to have a bat mitzvah in front of her classmates.
（4）Which of the following can best describe the author？
A．optimistic and considerate
B．sensitive and ambitious
C．intelligent and delicate
D．conventional and practical組卷：2引用：1難度：0.6 -
