28、 suddenly woke me up from a long nightmare. How cowardly (怯懦的) and selfish I was!”She continued, “I took them ashore. Looking into their faces, I felt a sudden strength inside me.

34、the terminalCA flood occurs when water overflows. This can happen in many ways. The most common is when rivers or streams overflow their banks. Excessive rain, a ruptured (破裂的) dam, rapid ice melting in the mountains can overwhelm a river and send it spreading over the near land, called a floodplain

35、 (洪泛平原). Coastal flooding occurs when a large storm or tsunami causes the sea to move inland.Most floods take hours or even days to develop, giving residents enough time to prepare or leave. Others occur quickly, with little warning. These flash floods can be extremely dangerous, instantly turning a

36、 small stream into a thundering wall of water and sweeping everything in its path. Disaster experts classify floods according to their likelihood of occurring in a given time period. A hundred-year flood, for example, is an extremely large, destructive event that would theoretically be expected to h

37、appen only once every century. But this is a theoretical number. In reality, this classification means there is a one-percent chance that such a flood could happen in any given year. Over recent decades, possibly due to global climate change, hundred-year floods have been occurring worldwide with fr

38、ightening regularity.Moving water has destructive power. When a river overflows its banks or the sea drives inland, structures poorly equipped to withstand the waters strength are no match. Bridges, houses, trees, and cars can be picked up and carried off. The erosive force of moving water can drag

39、dirt from under a buildings foundation, causing it to crack and tumble. When floodwaters recede (退去), affected areas are often covered by silt and mud. The water and landscape can be polluted with hazardous materials. Residents of flooded areas can be left without power or clean drinking water.But f

42、e dangerous it is C. A hundred-year flood is sure to occur every hundred years D. global climate change may increase the chance of a hundred-year flood 49.

The connection between rains and floods. D. Famous floodplains like the Mississippi Valley.DWhats your favorite type of music

44、? Most people may prefer rock and roll, pop or jazz. These types are most publicized by television and the radio. Country music now would seem to mistakenly belong to the category of rock or pop. Publicity of this category started to drop only after the year 2019; however, it did have its peak years

45、 just before the decline (衰落). What people may not know is that this type of music inspired (促成) rock and roll especially with one of the most important figures in music history Elvis Presley who is known as the “King of Rock and Roll”. Elvis used to be very famous at a radio program which broadcast

46、 country music back in the late 1940s. Country is also influenced by jazz and blues. Rock music too is influenced by jazz and blues but is also heavily influenced by country so that they may even seem similar.Nowadays, country is closely related to pop due to artists preference and popular demand. S

47、tarting from the 1980s it slowly divided itself into New and Old Country Music. Legends like Johnny Cash began to slip away because the new perception (理解) of country actually contains pop and his music just doesnt fit the category. Fortunately, country music is still heavily promoted through websit

48、es and reviews. Certain types of music nowadays are linked with different age groups. Classical for the people in the mid 19th century, pop in the 1920s, and then theres country. All these types continue to grow and modernize while still appealing to certain age groups. More modern country music ten

49、ds to become different in their own ways which makes it even harder to identify them as country while, again, remain appealing only to certain age groups. Active promoters of country music videos, however, seem to appeal to a large number of age groups especially those active in Australia. For as lo

50、ng as country isnt mixed with other types, it will eventually regain (重新獲得) its charm as music for all ages.51. It can be learned from the first paragraph that country music _.
