台风过后，这些注意事项你了解吗？


What to do after a typhoon? Here are some suggestions.

Continue to stay informed
Before going outside or returning home, wait for the “all clear” from local authorities to make sure it is safe to do so. Typhoons can cause great damage to buildings and infrastructure like roads and power lines. They also bring heavy rain that can cause flooding and increase the risk of water-borne (经水传播的) diseases like cholera and typhoid.
Continue to keep your family safe
▲Keep everyone away from hanging wires and unsafe structures.
▲Keep away from any floodwater — it is likely dirty and polluted.
▲Do not allow children to play around debris (碎片), as it can potentially injure them.
▲Keep yourself in warm, dry clothing as much as you can.
▲Make sure any water you are consuming is from a safe source and that food is cooked thoroughly. Do not consume any food that is damaged or may have spoiled due to power failures.
▲Make sure you wash your hands before eating and after using the toilet.
▲Consult a doctor immediately if any family member shows signs or symptoms of illness.
Clean up safely
Be careful if you need to pump any water from your home. Do it slowly and keep an eye out for dangers such as debris and electrical wires. If you can, dry as much as you can within 24 to 48 hours, keep wet areas ventilated and throw away anything that can’t be dried or fixed.

As much as possible, limit young children’s participation in cleaning up. Before children and teens can safely return, toys, clothing and living spaces should be cleaned and disinfected. Throw away any belongings if they have been badly polluted by floodwater.

1.1.Why should we think twice before going out after a typhoon?

A There might be more typhoons.

B The weather might be stormy.

C There are infectious diseases.

D All the roads are damaged.

解析：选B。B 推理判断题。根据第一段内容及“They also bring heavy rain that can cause flooding”可知，台风可能会带来暴风雨，可能会毁坏基础设施（如道路和电线），可能会带来水媒疾病（如霍乱和伤寒），因此台风过后不能轻易出门。故选B。

2.2.What might be the right thing to do to keep safe?

A Keep away from undamaged wires.

B Help repair unsafe structures.

C Play in clear and open areas.

D Consume water from a well.

解析：选C。C 推理判断题。根据Continue to keep your family safe部分中的“Do not allow children to play around debris (碎片), as it can potentially injure them.”可知，不要让孩子在碎片周围玩耍，因为可能会伤害到他们，由此可推知要让他们在空旷的地方玩耍。故选C。

3.3.What does the underlined word “ventilated” probably mean?

A Being exposed to nature.

B Becoming cooler.

C Raising temperature.

D Allowing fresh air to get in.

解析：选D。D 词义猜测题。根据划线单词前文的“dry as much as you can within 24 to 48 hours”可知，作者建议的是保持干燥，也就是要保持潮湿区域通风，这样才能更快晾干。故选D。

4.4.The last paragraph is mainly about ________.

A kids’ safety

B house cleaning

C food inspection

D garden care

解析：选A。A 段落大意题。根据最后一段内容，尤其是“limit young children’s participation”“Before children and teens can safely return”可知，最后一段主要讲的是要注意孩子的安全，在他们回家之前，要把准备工作做好。故选A。
