　　维B 任务型阅读

　　请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的单词空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个。

　　Most Americans do not think about preparing for natural disasters until one is knocking at their doorstep.But all the natural disasters that can affect many of us who live in different areas of the world.What a terrible earthquake in Japan in 2011！Many people have been talking about being prepared for a natural disaster.

　　STEP 1：What type of natural disasters are most common for the region I live in？The region I live in is most prone to floods，tornadoes and blizzards.However，for my particular place of residence，I am not likely to face a tornado.But，the recent changes of climate have resulted in an increase in other less common natural disasters.

　　STEP 2：Develop a game plan.A strong game plan is the most important part of this process.The game plan includes making and practicing an escape route for your family.The game plan also includes choosing a “SAFE” location for those natural disasters that require you to take cover.It is also a good idea to have an emergency bag packed for the family or each member of the family depending on the family size.

　　STEP 3：Prepare an information kit.This is something I came up with when considering a relocation.I purchased a fireproof and waterproof safe(保险箱)，as small as a child's lunch box or bigger.For each family member，I purchased duplicate birth certificates，social security cards，marriage certificates，and even those most precious family portraits.You may also want to include medical records of family members.This kit should also have emergency contact numbers for family members.All of these documents are in this locked，fire and water­proof box.You want to keep this box in a location in the home that is not part of a common area，but also not so tucked away that you will forget where it is.

　　STEP 4：Emergency account.As a young adult，I developed what I called an“Emergency Fund”．Now this is where things get tricky.You want an emergency account for household bills and a separate emergency fund for natural disasters.Based on your family size，you will need to determine how much you need to have in the account.I chose $ 250 per household member as a good amount for how much to keep in this account.This $ 250 in an emergency can fund last min airline tickets，gas fare，food or even hotel expense for a night if necessary.

　　STEP 5：Food and safety disaster kit.In addition to having the information kit and the emergency account，there should be a food and safety kit.This kit should include a flashlight，bandages，matches，batteries and a portable radio(if you have one)，bottled water，hand sanitizer etc.In addition，add non­perishable(不易坏的)items so you will have food on hand.

　　【语篇解题】 随着全球气候的变化，自然灾害频繁发生，我们是不是该“未雨绸缪”，为应对自然灾害做些准备呢？

　　2．kinds/types　[根据第二段第一句“What type of natural disasters are most common for the region I live in？”可知答案。]

　　3．changes　[根据第二段最后一句中的“...the recent changes of climate have resulted in an increase in other less common natural disasters.”可知，最近的气候变化使得一些并不常见的自然灾害的发生的可能性增加了。]

　　4．practice　[根据第三段第三句“The game plan includes making and practicing an escape route for your family.”可知答案。]

　　5．location　[根据第三段第四句“The game plan also includes choosing a“SAFE”location for those natural disasters that require you to take cover.”可知答案。]

　　6．number　[根据第三段最后一句“It is also a good idea to have an emergency bag packed for the family or each member of the family depending on the family size.”可知答案。]

　　8．common　[根据第四段最后一句中的“You want to keep this box in a location in the home that is not part of a common area...”可知答案。]

　　9．afford/buy　[根据第五段内容可知，我们应在应急账户中存入能买得起应急物品的钱，故填afford或者buy。]

　　10．ready　[根据最后一段信息可知，此处表示将食品及其他物品准备好，故用get sth ready“准备好……”。]
