On the day the tornado(龙卷风) hit, there was no sign that severe weather was on its way—the sky was blue and the sun had been out. My husband Jimmy and I were watching TV upstairs.

No sooner had we got the coverage of the tornado than it was on top of us. It was the loudest thing I had ever heard. The bones of the house shook, and the power went out. We had three flights of steps to get through to get to the relative safety of the first floor.

As we struggled to reach the last flight of steps, our front door blew out. Pieces of glass that looked like crushed ice flew everywhere. Suddenly, a three-foot-long tree branch flew over our heads, missing us by inches. Had we been one step up, it would have impaled(刺穿) us.

By the time I reached the closet, Jimmy pushed me down to the closet floor, but he couldn’t get inside himself because of the wind. I grabbed Jimmy’s arm as the tornado constantly sucked the door open and tried to bring Jimmy with it. My knees and head were full of glass, but in that moment, I felt no pain. If I had let go, Jimmy would have flown right out the back of the house and into the bay.

“Hold on! Hold on!” he yelled. But there was nothing in this closet to hold on to.

All of a sudden, Jimmy lifted off his feet like people in tornadoes do in the movies. I thought he was gone. And then everything stopped. He landed on his feet. In those first quiet moments, I couldn’t believe it was over. Jimmy said he’d go outside to check. “No,” I said. “Don’t leave me. Don’t leave me.”

Our neighbour said the storm lasted four minutes. In that time, four of the twelve town houses in our unit were completely destroyed. Of the houses left standing, ours suffered the most damage. Amazingly, none of us were severely injured.

(　　)4.Which of the following sentences is NOT the evidence to show the tornado is violent?

A.It was the loudest thing I had ever heard.

B.The bones of the house shook, and the power went out.

C.Our neighbour said the storm lasted four minutes.

D.Pieces of glass that looked like crushed ice flew everywhere.

(　　)5.What can we infer from the passage?

A.The couple had predicted the arrival of the tornado in advance.

B.Jimmy flew right out the back of the house and into the bay during the tornado.

C.The three-foot-long tree branch flew over the couple’s head and injured them badly.

D.The author still felt scared when the tornado was suddenly over.

(　　)6.Why did the author feel “no pain” in Paragraph 4?

A.She didn’t hurt badly enough to sense the pain.

B.She was severely injured and failed to sense the pain.

C.Her attention was fully focused on her husband.

D.She had let her husband go away from her hand.

(　　)7.Which of the following phrases best describes the couple’s experience in this tornado?

A.A thrilling adventure.  B.A narrow escape.

C.A risky attempt.  D.A serious accident.

C

Earthquake rescue robots have experienced their final tests in Beijing. Their designers say that with these robots, rescue workers will be able to have more time to save more lives during an earthquake.

This robot looking like a helicopter, is called the detector-bot. It’s about 4 metres long, and it took about 4 years to develop the model. Its main functions are to collect information from the air, and send goods of up to 30 kilos, to people stuck in an earthquake.

This robot has a high quality 360 degree panoramic camera. It can work day and night and will also be able to send the latest pictures from the quake area. Dr Qi Juntong, Chinese Academy of Sciences, said, “Unlike other automatic machines, the most important feature of this robot is that it doesn’t need a distant control. We just set the information of the earthquake-struck area on it, and then it takes off, and lands by itself. It flies as high as 3,000 metres, and as fast as 100 kilometres per hour.”

This robot has a different function—it can change as the environment changes. Its main job is to search for any signs of life in places where human rescuers are unable to go.

As well as a detector(探测器)that finds victims and detects poisonous gas, a camera is placed in the 40-centimetre-long robot, which can work in the dark.

Another use for the rescuers is the supply-bot, with its 10-metre-long pipe. People who are caught in the ruins will be able to get supplies including oxygen and liquids.

Experts have said that the robots will enter production, and serve as part of the national earthquake rescue team as soon as next year.

(　　)8.Which of the following statements about the robot is true according to the passage?

A.It hasn’t been put into production so far.  

B.It is a machine with a length of 10 metres.

C.It is a machine carried by a helicopter.  

D.It weighs about 30 kilos.

(　　)9.Why does Dr Qi Juntong think this robot is different from the others?

A.Because it has more functions.

B.Because it has a more advanced camera.
