Alone in the darkness under layers of rubble (碎石) , Dan Woolley felt blood streaming from his head and leg.
Woolley, an aid worker, husband, and father of two boys, followed instructions on his cell phone to survive the January 12 earthquake in Haiti.
“I had an app that had pre-downloaded all this information about treating wounds. So I looked up excessive bleeding and I looked up compound fracture(斷裂),” Woolley told CNN.
The application on his iPhone is filled with information about first aid and CPR from the American Heart Association. “So I knew I wasn’t making mistakes, ” Woolley said. “That gave me confidence to treat my wounds properly.”
Trapped in the ruins of the Hotel Montana in Port-au-Prince, he used his shirt to bandage his leg, and tied his belt around the wound. To stop the bleeding on his head, he firmly pressed a sock to it. Concerned he might have been experiencing shock, Woolley used the app to look up what to do. It warned him not to sleep. So he set his phone alarm to go off every 20 minutes.
Once the battery got down to less than 20 percent of its power, Woolley turned it off. By then, he says, he had trained his body not to sleep for long periods, drifting off only to wake up within minutes.
With his injuries tended to, he wrote a note to his family in his journal: “I was in a big accident, an earthquake. Don’t be upset at God. He always provides for his children even in hard times. I’m still praying that God will get me out, but he may not. But even so he will always take care of you.”
After more than 60 hours, Woolley was pulled from the rubble.
“Those guys are rescue heroes,” he said to the crew that pulled him out.
Which of the following best summarizes the passage?
A. How to deal with the wound.
B. Try to get in touch with outside.
C. How to stay awake under the ground.
D. An unforgettable experience in the earthquake.
Woolley set his phone alarm to go off every 20 minutes because_____.
A. he tried his best to communicate with rescuers
B. he was forced to stay awake to check his wounds
C. he was afraid that sleep might do harm to him
D. he needed to use the app to look up what to do
The underlined sentence suggests that_________.
A. he turned off his iPhone to save power B. the battery of his IPhone lasted long
C. he didn’t want his iPhone to disturb him D. his iPhone went off because of lack of power
What Woolley wrote his journal showed _______.
A. he expected his family to lend a hand B. he didn’t lose heart in hard times
C. he cared more for his family than his life D. his children made him upset

科目:高中英語 來源:2013屆廣東省恩平市高一下學期期末考試(英語) 題型:閱讀理解
2010 was the year the Earth struck back.
Earthquakes, heat waves, floods, volcanoes, super typhoons, blizzards(暴風雪), landslides(滑坡)and droughts
killed at least a quarter million people in 2010---the deadliest year in more than a generation. More people were killed worldwide by natural disasters this year than have been killed in terrorism attacks in the past 40 years combined.
“It just seemed like it was back-to-back (接二連三) and it came waves,” said Craig Fugate, who heads the US Federal Emergency Management Agency. It handled a record number of disasters in 2010.
“The term ' 100-year event ' really lost its meaning this year.”
And we have ourselves to blame most of the time, scientists and disaster experts say.
Even though many disasters seem accidental, the hand of man made this a particularly deadly, costly, extreme and strange year for everything from wild weather to earthquakes.
Poor construction and development practices make earthquake more deadly than they need be. More people live in poverty in vulnerable building (危房) in crowded cities. That means that when the ground shakes the river breaches(攻破), or the tropical cyclone (旋風) hits, more people die.
The January earthquake that killed well more than 220000 people in Haita is a perfect example. Port-au-Prince has nearly three times as many people, many of them living in poverty, and more poorly built shanties (棚戶區(qū)) than it did 25 years ago. So had the same quake hit in 1985 instead of 2010, total deaths would have probably been in the 80 000 range, said Richard Olson, director of disaster risk reduction at Florida International University.
Climate scientists say Earth's climate also is changing thanks to man-made global warning, bringing extreme weather, such as heat waves and flooding.
The excessive (過多的) amount of extreme weather of 2010 is a clear sign of man-made global warning that climate scientists have long warned about. They calculate that the killer Russian heat wave ---setting a national record of 111 degrees --- would happen once every 100000 years without global warning.
Preliminary (之前的) data show that 18 counties broke their records for the hottest day ever.
White House science adviser John Holdren said we should get used to climate disasters or do something about global warning. "The science is clear that we can expect more and more of these kinds of damaging events unless and until society's emissions of heat-trapping (吸熱的)gases and particles are sharply reduce."
1. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?
A.How the Earth struck back in 2010. B. Why the Earth struck back.
C.How terrorism attacks struck. D. What natural disaster mean to us.
2.What does the underlined word "it" refer to in the third paragraph?
A. Earthquake. B. The Earth. C. 2010 D. Natural disaster.
3.What do the fifth, sixth and seventh paragraphs mainly tell us?
A. The reason why there were so mainly disasters in 2010.
B. The way that natural disasters happened.
C. The way that man built buildings.
D. The way that people lived.
4.What is the way to cut back on the number of natural disasters?
A. To build stronger houses.
B.To develop less.
C. To reduce the emissions of heat-trapping gases and particles greatly.
D. To forecast the happening of natural disasters correctly.
5.Why did the writer give the example of the earthquake that happened in Haiti?
A. To show more people's living in vulnerable building can cause more people to die in an earthquake.
B. To show Haiti is a poor country.
C.To show Port-au-Prince is too crowded.
D.To show man's forecast ability of an earthquake reduced.
