The Great London Fog of 1952 was one of the worst environmental disasters in British
history. For five days in December, a thick layer of polluted fog covered the city, reducing
visibility to just a few meters. The fog was so dense that people couldn't see their own feet while
walking.
This unusual weather event was caused by a combination of cold weather, windless
conditions, and massive coal burning by homes and factories. The fog contained dangerous
chemicals like sulfur dioxide, turning it into poisonous "smog." Public transportation stopped
operating, ambulances couldn't reach the sick, and even indoor concerts were canceled because the
smog seeped into buildings.
The health effects were devastating. Over 4,000 people died from breathing problems in just
those five days, with another 8,000 dying in the following months. Many victims were elderly or
already had lung diseases. Hospitals were overcrowded with patients suffering from coughing fits
and breathing difficulties.
This disaster led to major changes. In 1956, the British government passed the Clean Air Act,
which banned burning dirty coal in cities. Over time, London's air quality improved significantly.
Today, scientists study the Great Smog to understand air pollution's dangers, and London uses it as
a warning about environmental protection.
( ) 39. How long did the Great London Fog last
A) 3 days B) 5 days
C) 1 week D) 2 weeks
( ) 40. What was NOT a cause of the deadly fog
A) Cold weather B) Heavy rainfall
C) Coal burning D) No wind
( ) 41. Why couldn't ambulances help people during the fog
A) Drivers couldn't see the roads B) Hospitals were closed
C) There were no sick people D) Ambulances broke down
( ) 42. What was the immediate result of this disaster
A) People stopped using electricity B) The Clean Air Act was passed
C) All factories closed forever D) London was abandoned
( ) 43. What lesson did London learn from this event
A) Fog can be beautiful B) Environmental protection is important
C) Coal is safe to burn D) Weather never changes
C. Choose the best answer and complete the passage.(选择正确答案)(12 分)
The Sahara Desert is the hottest place on Earth, with temperatures often 44 50°C in
summer. Despite these extreme conditions, over 2.5 million people call this desert home. Their
lives are deeply connected to the weather patterns that shape this harsh environment.
Nomadic tribes like the Tuareg have adapted to the desert climate over centuries. They
wear long, loose clothing that 45 their bodies from both the burning sun and cold nights.
Their traditional tents are made of goat hair, which provides shade while allowing air to circulate.
These tents can be quickly 46 when they need to move to find water sources.
Water is the most precious resource in the Sahara. Oasis towns develop around natural
springs, where date palms grow in abundance. The people have developed clever ways to 47
water, such as building underground tunnels called "foggaras" to prevent evaporation. When rare
rains do come, everyone works together to collect and store every drop.
Sandstorms are a constant danger. When the "Harmattan" wind blows, it can carry dust for
thousands of kilometers, sometimes even reaching Europe. During these storms, visibility drops to
zero, and people must 48 indoors until it passes. The dust can damage lungs, so many wear
special scarves over their faces.
Despite the challenges, the Sahara's people have created a unique culture perfectly adapted
to their environment. Their knowledge of weather patterns and survival skills are passed down
through generations, proving that human beings can thrive even in the most 49 climates on
Earth.
44. A) reaching B) avoiding C) changing D) measuring
45. A) exposes B) protects C) decorates D) warms
46. A) built B) decorated C) packed D) painted
47. A) waste B) conserve C) pollute D) ignore
48. A) play B) exercise C) remain D) travel
49. A) comfortable B) extreme C) predictable D) mild
D. Answer the questions.(回答问题)(15 分)
Last winter, our city experienced the heaviest snowfall in 20 years. The snow started on a
Friday evening and continued for three days without stopping. By Sunday morning, the snow was
over 50 centimeters deep - high enough to reach my knees!
The snow caused many problems but also brought unexpected joys. On the bad side, buses
and subways stopped running, and many roads were closed. My father couldn't drive to work, and
our school announced a three-day closure. Some elderly neighbors needed help shoveling snow
from their doorsteps.
However, we also had wonderful experiences. My brother and I built the biggest snowman in
our neighborhood - we used carrots for its nose and buttons for its eyes. Our whole street became
a playground where families had snowball fights together. The park looked magical with trees
covered in white snow, and we went sledding down the small hills.
The city workers did an amazing job clearing the main roads. They worked day and night
using snowplows and salt trucks. Volunteers helped deliver food to people who couldn't leave their
homes. Our community center opened as a warm place for those without heating.
This snowstorm taught me several things. First, bad weather can bring people together as
everyone helps each other. Second, we should always be prepared with warm clothes and
emergency supplies. Most importantly, I learned that even difficult situations can create happy
memories if we have the right attitude.
