About 2 300 years ago, the area around Chengdu had bad floods every spring. Luckily, the Qin governor (太守), Li Bing, was a water engineer. The king of Qin provided the money and asked the governor to work out the problem.
The usual way to prevent flooding is to build a dam (大坝) across the river. However, the king had also asked Li Bing to make sure that ships could still sail (航行) in the river, because the king needed to send food to his army (军队). So Li Bing came up with a plan which still works today!
Helped by his son and the workers, Li Bing built a man-made island (岛) in the middle of the river. This island divided the water into an inner and an outer river. The inner river was deeper than but not as wide as the outer river. It took four years to build the island.
Li Bing also cut a new channel (运河) through Mount Yulei. This channel would take water away to irrigate (灌溉) the farmland below. The rock of the mountain was too hard to cut. Li Bing burnt the rock and used water to cool it quickly. This made the rock break into smaller pieces which could be carried away more easily. Cutting the channel took eight years!
After Li Bing’s work was finished, there were no more floods, and the Dujiangyan irrigation system made the crops grow better. The river flowed naturally, and because there was no dam, ships and fish could pass freely. Sichuan became the most productive(多产的) area in China, as it still is today. Today, scientists and visitors from all over the world come to look at this wonderful example of engineering. This work and the name of Li Bing live on.
1. What was Li Bing’s job?
2. Why did the king ask Li Bing to make sure that ships could still sail in the river?
3. How did Li Bing break rock into smaller pieces?
4. How long did it take Li Bing to cut a new channel?
5. What kind of person do you think Li Bing was?

### 七、阅读短文，回答问题（10分）
大约2300年前，成都周边地区每年春天都会遭遇严重的洪水。幸运的是，秦国的太守李冰是一位水利工程师。秦王提供了资金，并要求太守解决这个问题。
通常防止洪水的方法是在河上修建一座大坝。然而，国王还要求李冰确保船只仍然可以在河中航行，因为国王需要向他的军队运送粮食。于是李冰想出了一个至今仍在发挥作用的计划！
在他的儿子和工人们的帮助下，李冰在河中央建造了一个人工岛。这个岛把水分成了内江和外江。内江比外江深，但没有外江宽。建造这个岛花了四年时间。
李冰还在玉垒山开凿了一条新的河道。这条河道会把水引走，用来灌溉下面的农田。山上的岩石太坚硬，难以开凿。李冰焚烧岩石，然后用水迅速冷却。这使得岩石破碎成更小的碎片，更容易被运走。开凿这条河道花了八年时间！
李冰的工程完成后，洪水不再发生，都江堰灌溉系统使庄稼生长得更好。河流自然流淌，而且因为没有大坝，船只和鱼类可以自由通行。四川成为了中国最富饶的地区，直到今天仍然如此。如今，来自世界各地的科学家和游客都来参观这个杰出的工程范例。这项工程和李冰的名字一直流传至今。
1. 李冰的工作是什么？
他是一位太守，也是一位水利工程师。
2. 为什么国王要求李冰确保船只仍然可以在河中航行？
因为他需要船只为他的军队运送粮食。
3. 李冰是如何把岩石破碎成小块的？
他焚烧岩石，然后用水迅速冷却。
4. 李冰开凿一条新河道花了多长时间？
八年。
5. 你认为李冰是个什么样的人？
他既聪明又勤奋。

答案：On National Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Day, our school held a series of activities. We had an earthquake drill (演练). When the drill began, the teachers told us to calm down first. Then, they asked us to leave the classroom one by one. All the students helped each other on the way. At last, we reached the playground safely. Our school also invited an expert (专家) to give us a talk about what we should do during an earthquake. For example, we should keep ourselves away from windows or pictures on the wall. They may fall down and hurt us. We can hide under a strong desk or table to protect ourselves. I think these activities are very interesting and useful for us. We can learn a lot of knowledge about earthquakes and how to save ourselves in an earthquake.
