Unit 4EarthquakesMy earthquake storyMy name is Mahnaz Bibi and Im from a village of Muzaffarabad，Azad Kashmir.We were living a happy and comfortable life.I had my husband Mukhtar Ali and a son Mushahid Ali.Mushahid was the whole world for me.On October 8th，I came out of my house after feeding Mushahid to do some work out there.I was working when the earth started shaking from north to west.I had never felt this kind of earthquake before.When I came to my senses I ran back to my house to save my son，as he was sleeping in the room.There was nothing but the debris(残骸)of my house.I started crying loudly and asked the neighbours to help search for my child.I was praying(祈祷)to God to save my child from this disaster，but after three hours of my prayers，I lost my whole world.There was no one to bury Mushahids body because everyone was burying their own children.We buried him on the 9th of October and suffered from rain the whole night.A few days later we left our village，because there was nothing left for us.We travelled a long distance over the mountains.In the end，we reached Muzaffarabad，Azad Kashmir and got shelter in the Ajaz Gillani Relief Tent Village.【词海拾贝】1come to ones sense(s)清醒过来，冷静下来2search for寻找，搜索3suffer from遭受，忍受4in the end最后，终于5get shelter得到住处，得以避难【问题思考】1Why did the author leave her village?_答案：Because there was nothing left for her.2What would you do if you felt an earthquake?_答案：I would find a safety place or open field.将单词与其正确释义配对1burstAvi.爆裂；爆发n突然破裂；爆发2ruin Bvt.破坏；毁坏；消灭3injure Cvt.埋葬；掩埋；隐藏4destroy Dn.废墟；毁灭vt.使破产；毁灭5shock Evt.损害；伤害6rescue Fvt.&vi.(使)震惊；震动n休克；打击；震惊7trap Gvt.使陷入困境n.陷阱；困境8bury Hn.灾难；灾祸9disaster In.&vt.援救；营救10electricity Jn.电；电流；电学答案：1.A2.D3.E4.B5.F6.I7.G8.C9H10.J.根据所给汉语提示写出单词1_n地震 _n地震；震动2_vi.爆裂；爆发n突然破裂；爆发3_n废墟；毁灭vt.毁灭；使破产4_n苦难；痛苦5_adj.极度的6_vt.损害；伤害7_vt.毁坏；破坏；消灭8_adj.无用的；无效的；无益的 _adj.有用的9_n休克；震惊；打击vt.&vi.(使)震惊；震动10_vt.&n.救援；营救11_vt.使陷入困境；n.陷阱；困境12_n灾难；灾祸13_vt.埋葬；掩埋；隐藏14_n遮蔽处；避身处；掩蔽15_n记者答案：1.earthquakequake2.burst3.ruin4suffering5.extreme6.injure7.destroy8.uselessuseful9.shock10.rescue11.trap12.disaster13.bury14.shelter15.reporter.根据英语释义写出单词1_：stick;sth is long2_：loss；destroy3_：make sb feel frightened4_：say sth good to celebrate5_：say sth about ones view；one kind of train which travels fast6_：the person who rides the bike答案：1.bar2.damage3.frighten4.congratulate5express6.cyclist.选词填空(注意形式的变化)be pleased；be proud of；give away；be known as；express ones thanks；right away；at an end；in ruins；dig out；as usual；instead of1My holiday is_and I must go back to work tomorrow.答案：at an end2_being annoyed，he seemed quite pleased.答案：Instead of3We are expecting to_some important facts.答案：dig out4Years of fighting have left that country_答案：in ruins5Tomorrow is my birthday.I shall be celebrating it_，with close families and friends.答案：as usual6Listen！There sounds the thunder.Lets go home _答案：right away7Do you want to let your family，your friends and yourself_you and your nice work?答案：be proud of8Lu Xun_a great writer and thinker.答案：is known as9I want to_to you for your great help.答案：express my thanks10I_to do business with you.答案：am pleased.领会句子所用的句型并译成汉语1It seemed as if the world was at an end!_答案：仿佛到了世界末日！2All hope was not lost._答案：不是所有的希望都破灭了。3Never before in history has a city been so completely destroyed._答案：在历史上从来没有一座城市像这样完全被毁过。4Amazing as it may seem，Wednesday night was a quiet night._答案：尽管它似乎有些令人吃惊，但是星期三的晚上是一个恬静之夜。课文表层理解.根据课文内容判断正(T)误(F)1Before July 28th，1976，strange things happened in the countryside of northwest Hebei.(F)2When the earthquake happened in Hebei，onethird of the nation could feel it.(T)3The number of people who were killed or injured reached more than 4，000，000.(F)4Another big quake shook Tangshan while rescue workers and doctors were saving the people trapped.(T)5Animals like cows，pigs and chickens as well as people suffered a lot in the earthquake.(T)6Soldiers were sent to Tangshan to offer their help to get water，food and electricity.(F).读课文回答问题1How long did the earthquake last?_
