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.

Sam, an unemployed man, said it was only the second thing he had ever won in his life. The first thing was a blanket at a church raffle(抽奖) when he was 25 years old. But this was much bigger: it was $120,000! He had won the Big Cube(骰子), a state lottery(彩票) game. To win, a contestant must first guess which number a spinning cube will stop on. The cube has six numbers on it: 1X, 10X, 50X, 100X, 500X, and 1000X. If he is correct, the contestant must then guess which of two selected variables(变量) is going to be greater. So, just guessing which number appears on the cube does not guarantee that you will win any money. Sam correctly guessed 1000X, but he still had to choose between two variables. One variable was the number of cars that would run the stop sign at Hill Street and Lake Avenue in six hours. The other variable was the number of times that a teenage boy would change TV channels in a three-hour period. This was a tough decision.
Finally, Sam flipped(翻转) a coin. It came up heads, so Sam picked the teenager. He picked right. The stop sign was run only 76 times, but the teen clicked 120 times. Sixty-year-old Sam jumped for joy, for he had just won 1000 times 120, or $120,000. Sam dreamily left the lottery studio. Talking excitedly on his cell phone while crossing the street, he got hit by a little sports car.
Sam is slowly getting better. He was in the hospital for a month. His hospital bill was $110,000. And the insurance company for the little sports car's owner sued(起诉) Sam for $9,000 worth of repairs. Also, Sam still has to pay taxes on his winnings. Sam doesn't play the state lottery any more. He says it's better to be unlucky.
1.Sam won the blanket ________ years ago.
A. 25 B. 60 C. 35 D. 76
2.Sam won the lottery because ______.
A. he was lucky B. he was good at math
C. he was smart D. he was tough
3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The lottery game was a complete lie.
B. Sam was quite familiar with the boy.
C. The owner of the car is now in hospital.
D. Sam will have none of the prize money left.
4.Sam’s experience shows that ______
A. everything has its time and that time must be watched.
B. he who risks nothing, gains nothing.
C. everything comes to him who waits.
D. he who laughs on Friday will weep on Sunday.
