Ⅲ.阅读理解
The Mississippi River flows down the middle of the United States to the Gulf of Mexico in May, 2011. Right now, melted snow and heavy rains from the north are moving south. The result has been what some people are calling the worst flooding in 80 years in the states along the Mississippi.
In Louisiana, engineers are working to keep floodwaters away from two big cities — New Orleans and Baton Rouge. New Orleans is still recovering from the failure of its flood controls during Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
A plan to direct some of the water into the Morganza Spillway means flooding rich farmlands in another part of the state. As many as 25,000 people may have to leave the areas that would be flooded. Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal has been urging them to prepare to leave.
The Morganza Spillway is about 75 kilometers up the river from Baton Rouge, the state capital. The spillway is a 32­kilometer­long channel that can take waters from the Mississippi to another river system. The spillway was used only once before, in 1973.
Last week, the Army Corps of Engineers exploded a three­kilometer­wide hole along an earthen levee in Missouri. They did that to protect the river towns in two other states, Kentucky and Illinois. But 52,000 hectares of farmland were flooded as a result.
The American insurance industry says natural disasters have already caused five billion dollars in damage this year. A record number of tornadoes struck along a path from Texas to Georgia. The storms killed more than 200 people in six states. At the same time, states like Texas and Oklahoma are experiencing extremely dry weather and high winds that have caused wildfires.

1．What's the main idea of the passage?
A．How were the floods dealt with?
B．The melted snow and heavy rains caused the flood.
C．The disaster this year caused the great loss.
D．The Mississippi River floods America's heartland.
解析：主旨大意题。结合本文的中心句第一段的首句The Mississippi River flows down the middle of the United States to the Gulf of Mexico in this May, 2011及全文内容可知，D项为正确选项。
答案：D
2．According to to the passage, we can infer that ________.
A．it had been 38 years since the Morganza Spillway was used
B．the floods killed more than 200 people in six states
C．they exploded a three­kilometer­wide hole to protect river towns in two other states
D． New Orleans and Baton Rouge are still recovering from the failure of its flood controls in 2005
解析：推理判断题。由第四段末句“The spillway was used only once before, in 1973.”和第一段的首句“The Mississippi River flows down the middle of the United States to the Gulf of Mexico in this May, 2011.”可知，距上次泄洪道使用已经38年。
答案：A
3．In which state are the Americans suffering from a second flood?
A．Texas B．Georgia
C．Baton Rouge D．New Orleans
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的New Orleans is still recovering from the failure of its flood controls during Hurricane Katrina in 2005可知答案为D项。
答案：D
4．According to the passage, which of the following statements is right?
A．The floods are the worst flooding in the United States.
B．The floods have made as many as 25,000 people homeless.
C．The floods damaged 52,000 hectares of farmland.
D．The floods take waters from the Mississippi to another river system.
解析：细节理解题。从第五段的末句But 52,000 hectares of farmland were flooded as a result.可知C项是正确的。从第一段的描述可知是美国中部地区遭受了80多年来最严重的一次洪涝灾害，所以A项的描述不确切；从第三段第二句可知B项不正确；由第四段的第二句可知D项错误。
答案：C
