Terrible disasters in the last 50 or 100 years have become increasingly common. Over the last 30 years, the number of weather-related disasters has increased quickly, and the disasters have also affected more people and caused more economic loss. However, much of this could be avoided through disaster risk reduction(DRR降低灾难风险).
A meeting, held in Sendai, Japan last month, opened one day after Cyclone Pam（飓风Pam）hit Vanuatu, which struck the islands with winds of up to 340km/h and destroyed the island nation. The speech by the President of Vanuatu was given shortly after that. He begged the international community for support and stronger commitment (承诺)to helping them manage climate and disaster risks. In the face of disasters, it is always the developing countries that suffer most. Damage in these countries is often worse and unluckily, there is limited money and technique to prevent these disasters.
In fact, we have seen Asian countries-especially those that have suffered a lot in disasters can’t pay the price. Great loss Asia has suffered comes to a total of almost $ 53 billon yearly over the past 20 years.
At the same time, studies have shown once again that proper prevention saves lives and damage. With this in mind, people at the Sendai meeting were able to come up with new agreements that effective ways of disaster risk reduction will be carried out in the coming years for those who easily get damaged in disasters.
1.According to the first paragraph, disasters ________.
A. can all be prevented
B. have become more frequent
C. are all weather-related ones
D. affect fewer people than before
2.We can know from the passage that_______.
A. The Sendai meeting was held one day after a cyclone hit Vanuatu
B. Vanuatu was terribly destroyed by an earthquake
C. The president of Vanuatu begged his country to prevent the disaster
D. Vanuatu is a small island in Japan
3.Which of the following can be the title of this news report?
A. Proper ways that save lives and damage have come up.
B. The Sendai meeting has made new commitments.
C. Natural disasters have become more common.
D. Some natural disasters can be reduced and avoided.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Wildlife conservationists in Kenya are trying to save a rare kind of rhinoceros (犀牛). So many northern white rhinos have been hunted and killed that they are almost dying out. There were only five northern white rhinos left. So the workers hoped they could save the rhinos by helping them produce young.
Three northern white rhinos lived at The Ol Pejeta Conservancy (保护区) in Kenya. Workers with military weapons guarded the rhinos as they walked, played and ate over a large area of natural grass and trees. The three rhinos were brought to the conservancy in 2009 from a zoo in the Czech Republic. Workers hoped they would have a better chance of survival in a more natural habitat.
But breeding has not been as successful as they had hoped. And the number of northern white rhinos continues to decrease. One of the rhinos at the conservancy died in October. Another died at a zoo in the US city of San Diego, California earlier this month. The San Diego zoo still has one northern white rhino left. The zoo in the Czech Republic also has one.
The last wild northern white rhinos were hunted and killed during conflicts in the Democratic Republic of Congo over the past ten years. Rhinos are killed because many people in Asia want the animals’ horns (角). They believe the horns will help with medical problems. But researchers say there is no medicine in the horn, just a kind of hair.
The last male northern white rhino is 41 years old. He has been unsuccessful in producing young with a female rhino. So conservationists will use artificial methods to make a young female become pregnant. If that is not successful, they will try to fertilize a northern rhino egg and put it into a southern white rhino, who will act as a surrogate(代孕) mother. The last solution would be cross-breeding between the northern and southern white rhino species. If cross-breeding is successful, there is hope that some part of the northern white rhino species may still live on.
1.Why were the three northern white rhinos brought to the conservancy in Kenya?
A. To protect them from being killed by the armed guards.
B. To ensure that they live better in a natural environment.
C. To keep the conservation a good balance of nature.
D. To attract more visitors to come to this area.
2.In Paragraph 3, it’s inferred that the number of the rhinos falls down to .
A. 1 B. 3
C. 5 D. 7
3.People hunted and killed rhinos because .
A. they wanted to get rhinos’ horns for medical use
B. rhinos ate natural grass and trees on their farmland
C. get rid of the threat of rhinos from their life
D. they wanted to do researches on producing young for rhinos
4.From the last paragraph, we can learn that .
A. other measures will be taken to breed rhinos
B. the conservationists lead a busy life in Congo
C. breeding a baby white rhino is quite an easy job
D. cross-breeding is an effective way to produce young

On January 5th, students in our school visited Robot World, which we saw a great diversity of robot. I was amazing to find those robots could do a great number of things just like real people, included playing chess, playing the piano and drawing pictures.
