10.Terrible disasters in the last 50or 100years have become increasingly common.Over the last 30years,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降低災難風險).
A meeting,held in Sendai,Japan last month,opened one day after Cyclone Pam(颶風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 (承諾)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 53billon yearly over the past 20years.
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.

分析 現(xiàn)在自然災害迅速增長危害著人們的生活和經(jīng)濟發(fā)展,但這些可以通過人們的關注和制定有效措施避免和減少.
解答 29.B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)Terrible disasters in the last 50 or 100 years have become increasingly common.及第一段內容可知嚴重自然災害越來越普遍,和天氣有關的自然災害迅速增長,嚴重影響了人們的生活并帶來了巨大的經(jīng)濟損失.所以說自然災害越來越頻繁,選B.
30.A.推理判斷題.根據(jù)第二段A meeting,held in Sendai,Japan last month,opened one day after CyclonePam(颶風Pam)hit Vanuatu可知A項正確B項錯誤;根據(jù)本段He begged the international community for support and stronger commitment (承諾)to helping them manage climate and disaster risks.可知C項錯誤;文中沒提到Vanuatu的大小,D項錯誤.故選A.
31.D.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章much of this could be avoided through disaster risk reduction及最后一句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.可知這些災害可以通過人們的關注和制定有效措施避免和減少,故選D.
點評 考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
