题目内容

CONCORD， N.H.—Torrential rain forced hundreds of people from their homes in parts of New England on Sunday， as water flowed over dams and washed out roads.

The governors of New Hampshire and Massachusetts declared states of emergency. Maine’s governor also declared a state of emergency for one county. “It’s a very serious situation，” said New Hampshire Governor John Lynch， adding that forecasters were predicting 12 to 15 inches of rain by the end of the storm in parts of southern New Hampshire. “It continues to change and the situation continues to worsen.”

In some towns， police and fire crews used boats to get people out of their homes and stranded cars after hundreds of roads were damaged. Others got around in kayaks(皮船). Some towns shut down， not letting anyone pass except emergency vehicles. “The town is cut right in half，” said Glenn Laramie， police chief in Andover， N.H.

A dam in Milton， N.H.， was in danger of failing， which could send a 10-foot wall of water downstream， the National Weather Service said in a bulletin. People downstream were being evacuated from the town.

In Massachusetts， cars were pulled from flooded streets in downtown Peabody， about 20 miles north of Boston， and about 300 people were evacuated from an apartment complex for seniors. Businesses stacked sandbags at their doors， trying to prevent damage from water that at one point rose to waist-deep.

Some parts of New Hampshire had seen 7 inches of rain by midday Sunday and forecasters said up to 5 more inches might come during the day. About 100 residents were evacuated from their homes in Wakefield， N.H.， because of concerns about two dams in the area.

Flooding in New Hampshire in October killed seven people， carried off homes and washed away miles of roads down to bedrock.

In Maine， flooding was reported on 60 roads in the southern part of the state， said governor’s spokeswoman Crystal Canney. More than 50 homes in Sanford and several in Kennebunk also were evacuated， state officials said.

Which is NOT true according to the article？

A. The situation in N. H. is very serious.

B. New England is a region of the U.S.

C.A state of emergency was declared in three whole states.

D. Seven people lost their lives in New Hampshire in October.

What is the main idea of the passage？

A. Two dams failed in New Hampshire.

B. Flood in New Hampshire.

C. State of emergency in New England.

D. Severe floods in three U.S. states.

In paragraph 4， the underlined word “evacuate” most probably means“　　　　”.

A. rescue B. trapped C. send away D. wash away

Which is NOT a part of New Hampshire？

A. Peabody B. Concord C .Milton D. Andover

What was mentioned to cope with the situation？

A. Some towns shut down. B. Some dams were open.

C. People all left their homes. D. Some temporary houses were built.

第二节读写任务(共l小题，满分25分)

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

Barbara R. Morgan is now an astronaut by profession, heading into space this week for the first time on the space shuttle. But she said she was a teacher at her core.

She said patience and perseverance were virtues that defined good schoolteachers. Living her principles, she is about to fulfill a two-decade-old dream by becoming the first “educator astronaut” when she and six fellow astronauts blast off in the space shuttle Endeavour on Wednesday on a mission to the International Space Station.

The flight will also fulfill a dream deferred from January 1986, when the shuttle Challenger blew up during takeoff, killing a crew that included the first designated teacher in space, Christa McAuliffe, Ms. Morgan’s friend, a high school teacher from Concord, N.H.. Not losing faith in the program, Ms. Morgan, as the backup teacher for that mission, kept the dream alive even when returning to the classroom. In 1998 Ms. Morgan got the call from NASA and returned to NASA that year to become the first educator astronaut.

The 22 years since NASA first selected Ms. Morgan to fly does not seem as long to her as many people think. “It really hasn’t been waiting; it’s been working,” she said. “Working as a teacher, and working to be an astronaut.”

The teacher-astronaut said she was looking forward to returning to the classroom after her flight to share her experiences. But she also would love to fly again. “I’ll be available,” she said.
