El Nio sees warm water, collected over several years in the western Pacific, flow back eastwards when winds that normally blow westwards weaken, or sometimes the other

22、way round.The weather effects, both good and bad, are felt in many places. Rich countries gain more from powerful Nios, on balance, than they lose. A study found that a strong Nio in 1997 - 98 helped Americans economy grow by $15 billion, partly because of better agricultural harvests: farmers in th

23、e Midwest gained from extra rain. The total rise in agricultural incomes in rich countries is greater than the fall in poor ones. But in Indonesia extremely dry forests are in flames. A multi-year drought(干旱) in south-east Brazil isbecoming worse. Though heavy rains brought about by El Nio may relie

24、ve the drought in California, they are likely to cause surface flooding and other disasters.The most recent powerful Nio, in 1997 - 98, killed around 21 000 people and caused damage worth$36 billion around the globe. But such Nios come with months of warning, and so much is known about how they happ

According to the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), however, just 12% of disaster-relief funding in the past two decades has gone on reducing risks in advance, rather than recovery and rebuilding afterwards. This is despite evidence that a dollar spent on risk-red

26、uction saves at least two on reconstruction. Simple improvements to infrastructure(基础设施) can reduce the spread of disease. Better sewers(下水 道) make it less likely that heavy rain is followed by an outbreak of the disease of bad stomach. Stronger bridges mean villages are less likely to be left witho

Though the relationship may not be causal, helping divided communities to prepare for disasters would at

28、 least reduce the risk that those disasters are followed by killing and wounding people. Since the poorest are least likely to make up for their losses from disasters linked to El Nio, reducing their losses needs to be the most important thing.28.

32、 El Nio. D. To urge people to prepare for El Nio.DI read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting. But where are we doing all of this waiting, and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours? To understand the issue, lets take a look at three types of “waits”.The very purest

33、 form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait. It is without doubt the most annoying of all. Take filling up the kitchen sink (洗碗池) as an example. There is absolutely nothing you can do while this isgoing on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until its full. During these waits, the brain slips away fro

34、m the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks. This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless.A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait. This one requires a bit of discipline. Properly preparing packaged noodle soup requires a

35、Forced Wait. Directions are very specific. “Bring three cups of water to boil, add mix, simmer three minutes, remove from heat, let stand five minutes.” I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly. After all, Forced Waiting requires patience.Perhaps the most powerful t

36、ype of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait. This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary. Unlike the Forced Wait, which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen.Turning ones life into a waiting game requires faith and hope, a

37、nd is strictly for the optimists among us. On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes, but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it. As long as one doesnt come to rely on it, wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody.We ce

38、rtainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting. The next time youre standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that youll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky, dont be desperate. Youre probably just as busy as the next guy.32. While doing a Watched-

39、Pot Wait, we tend to . A. keep ourselves busyB. get absent- minded【2019【2019 最新最新】精选高二英语上学期第一次双周考试题精选高二英语上学期第一次双周考试题D. stay focused33. What can we learn about the Lucky-Break Wait? A. It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait.B. It doesnt always bring the desired result. C. It is more fruitful than

40、the Forced Wait. D. It doesnt give people faith and hope.34. What does the author advise us to do the next time we are waiting? A. Take it seriously.B. Dont rely on others. C. Do something else. D. Dont lose heart.35. The author supports his view by . A. exploring various causes of “waits”B. describ

41、ing detailed processes of “waits” C. analyzing different categories of “waits”D. revealing frustrating consequences of “waits” 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。How to Do Man-on-the-Street InterviewsThe man-on-the-street interview is an interview in which a report

42、er hits the streets with a cameraman to interview people on the spot. 36 But with these tips, your first man-on-the-street interview experience can be easy. When your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the-street interviews for a story, think about thetopic and develop a list of about ten

43、general questions relating to it. For example, if your topic is about environmental problems in America, you might ask, “Why do you think environmental protection is important in America?” 37 Hit the streets with confidence. 38 Say, “Excuse me, I work for XYZ News, and I waswondering if you could sh

44、are your opinion about this topic.” This is a quick way to get people to warm up to you. Move on to the next person if someone tells you she is not interested in talking on camera. Dont getdiscouraged. 39 Each interview that you get on the street shouldnt be longer than ten minutes. As soon as you g

45、et the answer you need, move on to the next person. Make sure that as you go from interview to interview, you are getting a variety of answers. If everyone is giving you the same answer, you wont be able to use it. A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to ten. 40 If your news station o

46、r school requires interviewees to sign release forms to appear on the air, dont leave work without them.A. As you approach people, be polite. B. Limit your time.C. If you dont own a camera, you can buy one.D. With a question like this, you will get more than a “Yes” or “No” reply. E. To get good and

47、 useful results, ask them the same question.F. That number of interviews should give you all the answers you need. G.
