5.Have you ever experienced a natural disaster?The three people share their personal experiences with us?
A flood(洪水) hit our village.
When I was about 14 years old,I lived in Surathanee,the south part of Thailand.A flood hit our village after a rainstorm.The roads were flooded with a lot of water.My family and I worked hard to find things to control the flow of the water.People who lived near the river had to climb up to the roof of their houses.
The flood caused damage to us.For example,my father's rubber(橡膠) business was damaged because his rubber got wet.Besides,many houses were destroyed.
------Anotai Udomwittayakra from ThailandThe hurricane(颶風) was a nightmare.
This story took place about seven years ago.At that time I was only eleven years old,but I could remember it clearly.
During that week,we had to face the most powerful hurricane.I could still hear the noise of the wind blowing on the windows that were shaking.Outside,everything was flying or moving…cars,bikes,trees,and plastic bags.During the whole week,we were not able to go out.All the roads were cut off,and we didn't have running water or communication.Under those conditions,the hardest part was having no contract with the rest of my family living around the island.
---Kevin Parfait from MartiniqueIt was really an earthquake.
One day my friends and I were celebrating our last day in high school at a friend's.When we were all in the pool,I felt dizzy(眩暈的).A few minutes later,my friend said,"It's an earthquake."
It was really an earthquake.Most of the houses built in the mountains were destroyed and many people lost their lives.

分析 本文主要講述3個不同的人所經歷的3種不同的自然災難.
解答 AAB
13 A 推理判斷題. 根據(jù)文章第三段The flood caused damage to us.洪水對我們照成了損失;第五段Outside,everything was flying or moving…cars,bikes,trees,and plastic bags.在外面所有東西都在飛和移動; 和最后一段Most of the houses built in the mountains were destroyed and many people lost their lives.大多數(shù)房屋都被損壞,很多人丟失了生命,可知3中災害的共同點是都給人們照成了很多的損失.故選A.
14 A 細節(jié)題. 根據(jù)文章第五段Under those conditions,the hardest part was having no contract with the rest of my family living around the island.可知在那種情況下,最難的是不能和家人聯(lián)系,故選A.
15 B 細節(jié)題. 根據(jù)文章第六 段One day my friends and I were celebrating our last day in high school at a friend's. 可知Alexandra當時在朋友家慶祝高中最后的一天,沒有預料到地震的發(fā)生,文章中并沒有提到損失和死于饑餓,故ACD錯誤.故選B.
