Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
There was an earthquake this morning. I was working in front of my computer when it hit the city. The quake started with a sudden loud noise. I thought that something heavy in a neighbor's house probably had fallen. However, the walls and the floor began to shake. I finally realized it was an earthquake.
My son Zac, a sixteenyearold boy, was sleeping with his door locked. Being sixteen, he can sleep through any kind of noise. “Zac！” I shouted. “Are you OK？” But nobody replied. I was a little worried. I couldn't imagine that someone was able to get such a deep sleep. The house was dancing. There were waves in the swimming pool. I was afraid the house would come down. “Zac！” I yelled, knocking on his door with an open palm (手掌). “Zac! Wake up! It's an earthquake! We need to get out！”
My son finally emerged in his underpants. We looked around the room. I knew that we should hide under a table to stop things from falling on us and stay away from glass. Unfortunately, none of our furniture was designed for hiding under. “Should we go into the garden？” Zac asked. “No, trees could fall on us！” I said. Actually, Zac had done earthquake drills (训练) at school. He must have been told to hide under a desk and cover his head. But we had nothing to cover our heads in the house.
Luckily, before we took any action, the windows stopped moving and the pool calmed down. Everything went back to normal soon. But both my son and I knew what we should do, because we knew if there had been a really big earthquake this morning, we couldn't have escaped from it.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。一场地震让作者和她儿子知道要防患于未然。
1．When the earthquake started, the author ________.
A．didn't hear anything
B．was repairing her computer
C．didn't consider it an earthquake
D．was sleeping with her door locked
答案与解析：C 细节理解题。根据第一段的“I thought that something heavy in a neighbor's house probably had fallen. However, the walls and the floor began to shake. I finally realized it was an earthquake.”可知，作者一开始没有意识到发生了地震。
2．According to Paragraph 2, why was the author worried?
A．Because her son seemed to be in pain.
B．Because she couldn't wake her son up.
C．Because her son was locked in his room.
D．Because she couldn't solve her son's sleep problem.
答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据第二段的“But nobody replied. I was a little worried.”可知，作者担忧是因为她无法叫醒儿子。
3．What problem did the author and her son face?
A．They couldn't get out of the house.
B．They couldn't stop things from falling.
C．They couldn't find anything to hide under.
D．They couldn't remember what to do in an earthquake.
答案与解析：C 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Unfortunately, none of our furniture was designed for hiding under.”可知，她们家里没有任何可躲避的地方。
4．The author and her son most probably realized they should ________.
A．replace their furniture
B．build a stronger house
C．receive earthquake drills
D．watch the weather report often
答案与解析：A 推理判断题。根据全文内容以及最后一段的“But both my son and I knew what we should do, because we knew if there had been a really big earthquake this morning, we couldn't have escaped from it.”可推断，作者和她儿子在这次地震中意识到应该未雨绸缪，为地震做好准备，故很有可能换家具。
B
Making employees feel happy and healthy at work is good for many businesses. But it isn't always an easy thing. A research suggests that just 33% of the U．S. employees consider themselves fully engaged (投身于) at work, while 16% are actively disengaged, and 51% are just showing up.
But there is an exception. When it comes to employee engagement, it seems that employees in small companies are doing better. According to the same research, the largest U．S. companies have the lowest levels of engagement, while companies with fewer than 25 employees have the highest. And in one recent report, 75 percent of small business workers surveyed said they were “very” or “extremely” satisfied with their role as a small company employee.
Unlike big companies, small companies are often short of resources but the employees can get more surprises there. Small companies offer excellent career opportunities to their employees. The bosses often know their staff very well and understand their personal needs. Employees of small companies are more likely to receive free meals, paid leave, and they can even bring their pets to work.
But of course, there're many other draws in small businesses. One of the top draws is flexible scheduling (弹性工时). Another is being able to really see the fruits of one's labor. Besides, noncash award is also a big draw. This could be something small that reflects employees' interests and lifestyles.
While a parental leave might lead to some financial problems, small companies may do something to improve it. “It may be impossible for a fiveperson team to be reduced to four for six months，” writes Camilla Velasquez, head of HR management platform Justworks. “But it could be possible to allow new parents to take on reduced hours in a workfromhome environment.” This kind of method has been realized in some small companies.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了小型企业的员工比大型企业员工的幸福感更强，并分析了原因。
5．What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A．Employees can develop better in small companies.
B．Employees can earn more money in small companies.
C．Employees in big companies are hard to be satisfied.
D．Employees in small companies are more engaged at work.
答案与解析：D 细节理解题。根据第二段的“When it comes to employee engagement, it seems that employees in small companies are doing better.”可知，相对于大公司的员工来说，小公司的员工更能很好地投入到工作中。
6．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A．The benefits of working for small companies.
B．The differences between small and big companies.
C．What challenges staff in small companies may face.
D．Why small companies are short of resources.
答案与解析：A 主旨大意题。根据第三段的“Small companies offer excellent career opportunities...”可知，这些都是在小公司工作的好处，所以可知答案。
7．What does the underlined word “draws” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Choices. B．Attractions.
C．Difficulties. D．Competitions.
答案与解析：B 词义猜测题。根据下文的“flexible scheduling”， “being able to really see the fruits of one's labor”及“noncash award”等推测，该词义为“吸引人的东西”。
8．What can be most probably inferred from the passage?
A．Small companies may have more employees with much happiness.
B．Big companies should learn from some small companies.
C．Employees should have their own hobbies and lifestyles.
D．Employers should pay more attention to the staff's needs.
答案与解析：A 推理判断题。本文主要讲了跟大型企业相比，小型企业的员工可以享受更多更好的待遇，因而他们的幸福感更强。再根据第二段的“And in one recent report, 75 percent of small business workers surveyed said they were ‘very’ or ‘extremely’ satisfied with their role as a small company employee.”所以可推测，小型企业的员工幸福感更强。

以下资料为班级建设资料，有需要可以用：《滴水精神》主题班会
活动目的：教育学生懂得“水”这一宝贵资源对于我们来说是极为珍贵的，每个人都要保护它，做到节约每一滴水，造福子孙万代。
活动过程：
1.主持人上场，神秘地说：“我让大家猜个谜语，你们愿意吗？”大家回答：“愿意！”
主持人口述谜语：
“双手抓不起，一刀劈不开，
煮饭和洗衣，都要请它来。”
主持人问：“谁知道这是什么？”生答：“水！”
一生戴上水的头饰上场说：“我就是同学们猜到的水。听大家说，我的用处可大了，是真的吗？”
主持人：我宣布：“水”是万物之源主题班会现在开始。
水说：“同学们，你们知道我有多重要吗？”齐答：“知道。”
甲：如果没有水，我们人类就无法生存。
小熊说：我们动物可喜欢你了，没有水我们会死掉的。
花说：我们花草树木更喜欢和你做朋友，没有水，我们早就枯死了，就不能为美化环境做贡献了。
主持人：下面请听快板《水的用处真叫大》
竹板一敲来说话，水的用处真叫大；
洗衣服，洗碗筷，洗脸洗手又洗脚，
煮饭洗菜又沏茶，生活处处离不开它。
栽小树，种庄稼，农民伯伯把它夸；
鱼儿河马大对虾，日日夜夜不离它；
采煤发电要靠它，京城美化更要它。
主持人：同学们，听完了这个快板，你们说水的用处大不大？
甲说：看了他们的快板表演，我知道日常生活种离不了水。
乙说：看了表演后，我知道水对庄稼、植物是非常重要的。
丙说：我还知道水对美化城市起很大作用。
2.主持人：水有这么多用处，你们该怎样做呢？
（1）（生）：我要节约用水，保护水源。
（2）（生）：我以前把水壶剩的水随便就到掉很不对，以后我一定把喝剩下的水倒在盆里洗手用。
（3）（生）：前几天，我看到了学校电视里转播的“水日谈水”的节目，很受教育，同学们看得可认真了，知道了我们北京是个缺水城市，我们再不能浪费水了。
（4）（生）：我要用洗脚水冲厕所。
3.主持人：大家谈得都很好，下面谁想出题考考大家，答对了请给点掌声。

（4）一生说：主持人我们想给大家表演一个小品行吗？
主持人：可以，大家欢迎！请看小品《这又不是我家的》
大概意思是：学校男厕所便池堵了，水龙头又大开，水流满地。学生甲乙丙三人分别上厕所，看见后又皱眉又骂，但都没有关水管，嘴里还念念有词，又说：“反正不是我家的。”

主持人：看完这个小品，你们有什么想法吗？谁愿意给大家说说？

小记者：你们谈得很好，我的收获也很大。我还有新任务先走了，同学们再见！
水跑上来说：同学们，今天我很高兴，我“水伯伯”今天很开心，你们知道了有了我就有了生命的源泉，请你们今后一定节约用水呀！让人类和动物、植物共存，迎接美好的明天！
主持人：你们还有发言的吗？

生：我代表人们谢谢你，水伯伯，节约用水就等于保护我们人类自己。
