第三部分：阅读理解（第一节15小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分, 满分40分）

第一节：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, 并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。ks5u

A

In the summer of 1999, a small town called Golcuk was shaken by a big earthquake in north-western Turkey. It destroyed the whole town and other nearby places. Soon enough, help from other countries flew there for one purpose, “saving lives”. Nowadays wherever an earthquake strikes, other countries are ready to send help. That is really something that, as human beings, we should be proud of.

When the earthquake struck, I was living in my hometown of Ankara, capital of the Turkey. Despite the 220-mile distance between the two locations, we still were able to feel the shakes.

I had a chance to visit Golcuk a couple times when I was a kid. My uncle who lives in Germany has a summer house there, and every summer they stay in Golcuk for their yearly vacation. After the quake struck, we couldn’t contact them, so we didn’t know if they were in Golcuk or in Germany during the quake. Our unsuccessful attempts worried us, and the only thing we wanted to hear was that they were OK. Without wasting any more time, my brother, my sister’s husband, and I decided to drive there to check on them by ourselves.

When we were driving, the damage of the earthquake started to show itself right away. Big, wide, tall trees were laid down on the side of the road. Getting closer to Golcuk, we found the impact of the earthquake was getting worse. Inside the town was total destruction.

It wasn’t easy to figure out the streets among the ruins. Finally, we were able to find my uncle’s apartment and thank God, it was still standing, but nobody was there. Later on we found that they hadn’t yet visited Golcuk that year. What luck!

Earthquakes are natural disasters and there is no way to avoid them, especially as earthquakes never give a warning in advance. They just strike mercilessly in the midd
