第一部分 听力(共两节,满分30分)(略)
第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
(2024届北京大兴精华学校高三下学期三模)Almost every day, we learn of disasters of one form or another through the media. These include not just major disasters that affect large areas for a long time. A severe storm, an electric power breakdown, or a house fire can bring a personal disaster to an individual. This brochure aims to help you develop your personal preparedness plan.
IStockpiling food and drink● Drinking is more important than eating. Keep about 14 liters of liquid per person in stock for each week.
● No experiments. Your supplies should mainly consist of food and drink that you normally have.
● Ensure that your supplies can be stored for long periods of time without refrigeration and that most of them can be eaten cold.
ⅡEmergency pack
● The aim of a disaster supplies kit should be to help you to cope with the possibility of having to exist for a few days outside of your house. Don't take more for each family member than could be conveniently contained within the confines of a rucksack(帆布背包). A rucksack is more practical than a suitcase, as it allows you to have both hands free.
● The emergency rucksack should contain these items:
—First aid materials, personal medication
—Sleeping bag or blanket
—Hygiene products for a couple of days
ⅢElectric power breakdown
● Keep a supply of torches and candles, as well as spare batteries, matches or lighters in the house. Remember that batteries do not last indefinitely. Regularly use the batteries up and replace them.
● You can prepare smaller meals on a camping stove, one that can be operated through the use of charcoal(木炭)or gas.
ⅣKeep up-to-date in an emergency
Floods or heavy snowfalls may lead to parts of the population getting cut off from the outside world. Information and warnings are important for survival. Those who are trapped can often only be reached by radio, television or the Internet. However, television and the Internet only work when there is electric power, which could fail. This leaves just the radio as the main warning device.

(2023-2024学年江西省宜春市丰城市九中高三上学期12月考)Super Typhoon Rai(known as “Odette” in the Philippines)made landfall on Siargao Island in southeastern Philippines at 1:30 pm local time on Thursday, December 16. The typhoon was the 15th storm to hit the country in 2021 and was the strongest storm of 2021. Almost 16 million Filipinos were facing threats including strong winds, heavy rains, flooding, landslides, displacement and risking loss of life, home, livelihood and agriculture. Around 700,000 of them were children.
UNICEF(United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund)expressed deep concern for children and families at risk and announced its commitment to providing support to the Philippine government. Reyn Ambag was one of the children who were rescued during the typhoon.
12-year-old Reyn Ambag is a grade 7 student living on the island of Siargao. He goes to school in San Isidro National High School which is located in the Municipality of San Isidro. With Values Education as his favorite subject in school, Reyn is always ready to help others.
Reyn is raised by his mother who is a single parent and runs a retail store alone. Aside from his mother, his cousin has also been living with them to help out in the absence of Reyn’s father. Reyn’s mother provides for all three of them. She is able to support their daily needs and Reyn’s schooling by the income she gets from the small retail store.
During Typhoon Odette, Reyn’s family stayed inside the comfort room of the school where they were evacuated(疏散)to. There, he witnessed through the window how the strong winds of the typhoon destroyed the area. They stayed there until the storm subsided and it was safe for them to go out. Upon returning to their home, they were astonished to find that their house was damaged due to the fallen trees.
After observing the delays in restoring the electricity in their community, Reyn wanted to pursue a related job in the future. “I want to be an electrician someday so that if a power cut would happen because of a typhoon, I would be able to help in restoring it for free,” said Reyn.

(2023-2024学年山东省部分名校高三下学期2月份大联考)Fountains of lava erupted from the Sundhnúkur volcanic system in southwest Iceland on January 14th, 2024. Lava flows welled up from a new gap, attacking the suburbs of Grindavík with at least three houses in their path burnt down. Nearby, construction vehicles that had been working for weeks to build large earthen dams in an attempt to divert(使转向)the lava’s flow had to pull back.
Lava is subject to gravity like other fluids, so it will flow down along a path of steepest descent(斜坡). With the temperature of its molten rock often well above 1,000 degrees Celsius, not much can stand in its way. Humans have tried many ways to stop lava in the past, from attempting to freeze it in place by cooling it with sea water, to using explosive s to cut off its supply. However, no attempt was successful.
Most recent efforts have focused instead on building dams in an attempt to divert the lava’s flow toward a different path of steepest descent, into a different “lavashed,” where lava would naturally flow. Results have been mixed, but diversion can be successful if the lava flow can be clearly diverted into a distinct area where lava would naturally flow — without threatening a different community in the process. Many attempts to divert lava have failed, however. Barriers built in Italy to stop Mt. Etna’s lava flows in 1992 slowed the flow, but the lava eventually over topped each one.
Diverting lava in Grindavík is difficult, in part because the land around Grindavík is relatively flat, making it harder to identify a clear alternative path of steepest descent for redirecting the lava. Icelandic officials reported on January 15th that most of the lava from the main fissure had flowed along the outside the barrier, however a new gap had also opened inside the perimeter(外围), sending lava into a neighborhood. Unfortunately, that implies that Grindavík remains at risk.
28. What do we know about the lava erupting from the Sundhnúkur volcanic system?
A. It severely affected the downtown area of Grindavík.
B. It forced the construction of large earthen dams to suspend.
C. It was successfully redirected by the earthen barriers.
D. It completely buried a residential area.
29. How many ways are mentioned to stop the lava?
A. Five. B. Four. C. Three. D. Two.
30. The lava flow in Grindavík remains a risk because ________.
A. the lava has destroyed many buildings
B. there is no suitable dam to divert the lava
C. the land around Grindavík is relatively flat
D. the lava has already entered a populated area
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. How earthen barrier functions. B. What can be done to prevent lava.
C. Why volcanic lava is so hard to stop. D. What lava has brought about in Iceland.

(2024届贵州省部分学校高三下学期5月份联考)On August 21, 1986, a man making his way to Nyos, a village near a lake in northwest Cameroon, found dozens of dead animals along the road. He called into a home to see if the residents knew what had happened. Instead of getting answers, the man discovered that everyone in the village was dead, though they seemed otherwise unharmed.
Within days, officials confirmed that more than 1,700 people had died, along with several thousand animals. The strange and tragic event seemed similar to one that occurred at Lake Monoun two years earlier, just 60 miles to the south, where villagers found 37 people and many animals dead along its shores.
Initially, authorities were confused about the cause. Witnesses reported hearing strange sounds and seeing a sudden rise of white cloud from the lake, which quickly disappeared. Fortunately, the disaster caught the world’s attention. Scientists from around the globe gathered in Nyos to investigate. Because Lake Nyos sits on an inactive volcano, their first theory was that the volcano had erupted and sent poisonous gases into the air. After further research, however, they found the cause was much more unusual. The deadly events were called limnic(湖泊的)eruptions.
Although deadly and terrifying, limnic eruptions are extremely unlikely. They occur when dissolved(溶解的)carbon dioxide(CO2)suddenly erupts from the deep waters of a lake, forming a deadly gas cloud above the surface. Because carbon dioxide is heavier than air, the cloud will sink toward the ground, killing wildlife, livestock and humans.
Carbon dioxide dissolves more easily in the deep, cold parts of lakes. As a result, the bottom of deep lake can have very high levels of carbon dioxide, while the levels decrease towards the lake’s surface, and the pressure at the bottom builds and builds. Any changes in pressure can set off the rapid and forceful release of the accumulated carbon dioxide, causing an eruption.
It’s unclear what caused the lakes to explode, but considering they’re near the Oku Volcanic Field, it’s possible that an earthquake or a small volcanic eruption occurred before each disaster.
32. Why are the numbers mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To arouse the empathy of the readers.
B. To display the destructive effect of the events.
C. To prove the necessity of preparing for disasters.
D. To highlight the difficulty looking into the cause.
33. What is to blame for the mass deaths in Nyos?
A. High concentrations of CO2.
B. The great power of the lake explosion.
C. Poisonous gases from a volcano eruption.
D. The lake water flooding the nearby villages.
34. Which may have nothing to do with limnic eruptions?
A. An earthquake. B. Dissolved carbon dioxide.
C. Great pressure differences. D. Warm environments.
35. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A charity poster. B. A biography.
C. A science magazine. D. A cultural website.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
(宁夏石嘴山市平罗中学2023-2024学年高三上学期期中)Unlike other natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes are very hard to see coming, even for scientists. ___36___ Thus, specific practices for earthquake preparedness are necessary. Here are four steps you can take to prepare yourself in advance.
Drop, cover and hold
If you feel the ground start to shake, drop, take cover under as table piece of furniture, and hold on. You can hide under something like a desk or table, with one arm holding on to a leg of the table and your other arm protecting your neck and head. ___37___ In modern homes, it is no stronger than any other part of the house and will not protect you from injury.
Make a family plan
___38___ Create a meeting point—somewhere easy for everyone to remember, or you could also meet at home. Whatever plan you decide on, don’t rely on your phone as your main form of communication. Technology fails all the time in disasters. A major earthquake in California, for example, damaged cell towers and knocked out communication services for days.
Secure your furniture
Those hanging shelves above your bed could be a danger during an earthquake. People often get injured from “flying or falling objects” like furniture or glass during earthquakes. So examine your home and ask yourself, “What could be a potential danger to my safety?” ___39___
Make digital copies of important documents
Important documents may get destroyed during earthquakes. Therefore, scan or take photos of your important documents, such as your license, financial records and insurance policy information. ___40___ This step can help ensure your documents will be available even if your computer is lost in a quake.
A. Then send them to your e-mail.
B. These are all important personal documents.
C. Make sure your household has a plan of action.
D. Whatever you do, do not stand in a doorframe.
E. If you find the answer, you need to runaway immediately.
F. Nowadays early detection systems can only give seconds of warming ahead.
G. If possible, remove those heavy and big objects above your bed immediately.

Caught in a flood
Mary and her parents were downstairs in the living room. Mary was looking through the windows at the endless rain outside. It had been raining non-stop for three days. She had never seen a storm this bad. It was making her nervous. The wind roared and the rain beat on the roof and windows. Dad was listening to a weather report on the radio, while Mum was putting their important documents and disaster supplies into a bag.
“Mum, Dad,” said Mary suddenly, “I think we should leave here right away!”
“No,” said Dad. “It’s too late: The radio says the city has already been flooded.”
“We can drive our car through the floodwater. Let’s us leave! I’m really scared!” cried Mary. “We can’t do that, honey,” explained Mum, “otherwise the moving water could wash the car away!”
Mary walked to the door. She was curious to see how much water there was outside.
“Don’t open the door!” shouted Mum and Dad at the same time. “The water may flood in!”
Dad moved the dinner table against the door, in case the floodwater forced the door open. Mum waved to Mary to sit on the sofa. “Mary, don’t worry. Everything’s going to be OK,” she said softly, trying her best to comfort Mary. Her voice was calm, but Mary could tell she was worried too.
Without saying a single word, Dad walked to the sofa, sat down and hugged his wife and daughter. The sudden silence in the house seemed to make the wind and rain more frightening outside. What could they do?

With the temperature of its molten rock often well above 1,000 degrees Celsius, not much can stand in its way. Humans have tried many ways to stop lava in the past, from attempting to freeze it in place by cooling it with sea water, to using explosive s to cut off its supply. However, no attempt was successful.
Most recent efforts have focused instead on building dams in an attempt to divert the lava’s flow toward a different path of steepest descent, into a different “lavashed,” where lava would naturally flow. Results have been mixed, but diversion can be successful if the lava flow can be clearly diverted into a distinct area where lava would naturally flow — without threatening a different community in the process. Many attempts to divert lava have failed, however. Barriers built in Italy to stop Mt. Etna’s lava flows in 1992 slowed the flow, but the lava eventually over topped each one.
Diverting lava in Grindavík is difficult, in part because the land around Grindavík is relatively flat, making it harder to identify a clear alternative path of steepest descent for redirecting the lava. Icelandic officials reported on January 15th that most of the lava from the main fissure had flowed along the outside the barrier, however a new gap had also opened inside the perimeter(外围), sending lava into a neighborhood. Unfortunately, that implies that Grindavík remains at risk.
28. What do we know about the lava erupting from the Sundhnúkur volcanic system?
A. It severely affected the downtown area of Grindavík.
B. It forced the construction of large earthen dams to suspend.
C. It was successfully redirected by the earthen barriers.
D. It completely buried a residential area.
29. How many ways are mentioned to stop the lava?
A. Five. B. Four. C. Three. D. Two.
30. The lava flow in Grindavík remains a risk because ________.
A. the lava has destroyed many buildings
B. there is no suitable dam to divert the lava
C. the land around Grindavík is relatively flat
D. the lava has already entered a populated area
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. How earthen barrier functions. B. What can be done to prevent lava.
C. Why volcanic lava is so hard to stop. D. What lava has brought about in Iceland.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. C
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了火山熔岩为何如此难以阻止。
28.细节理解题。根据第一段的“Nearby, construction vehicles that had been working for weeks to build large earthen dams in an attempt to divert the lava’s flow had to pull back.(在附近,几个星期来一直在建造大型土坝以试图转移熔岩流的施工车辆不得不撤退)”可知, 大型土坝的建设因岩浆的喷发而暂停。故选 B。
29.细节理解题。根据第二段“Humans have tried many ways to stop lava in the past, from attempting to freeze it in place by cooling it with sea water, to using explosive s to cut off its supply. However, no attempt was successful.(过去,人类曾尝试过许多方法来阻止熔岩,从试图用海水冷却来冻结它,到使用炸药来切断它的供应。然而,没有一次尝试成功)”以及第三段“Most recent efforts have focused instead on building dams in an attempt to divert the lava’s flow toward a different path of steepest descent, into a different “lavashed,” where lava would naturally flow.( 最近的努力都集中在建造水坝上,试图将熔岩流转向另一条最陡峭的路径,进入另一个熔岩自然流动的地方)”可知,目前为止共提到了三种阻挡火山熔岩的办法。故选C。
30.推理判断题。根据第四段“Icelandic official s reported on January 15th that most of the lava from the main fissure had flowed along the outside the barrier, however a new gap had also opened inside the perimeter(外围), sending lava into a neighborhood. Unfortunately, that implies that Grindavík remains at risk.(冰岛官员在1月15日报告说,大部分从主裂缝流出的熔岩沿着屏障外流动,然而在屏障内也出现了一个新的裂缝,熔岩流入了附近地区。不幸的是,这意味着Grindavík仍然处于危险之中)”可知,Grindavík 之所以处于危险之中是因为熔岩的侵入已经威胁到了居民区。故选D。
31.主旨大意题。根据第二段的“With the temperature of its molten rock often well above 1,000 degrees Celsius, not much can stand in its way. Humans have tried many ways to stop lava in the past, from attempting to freeze it in place by cooling it with sea water, to using explosive s to cut off its supply. However, no attempt was successful.(由于其熔融岩石的温度通常远高于1000摄氏度,没有什么能阻挡它。过去,人类曾尝试过许多方法来阻止熔岩,从试图用海水冷却来冻结它,到使用炸药来切断它的供应。然而,没有一次尝试成功)”并通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了为什么火山熔岩难以阻止。故选C。
D
(2024届贵州省部分学校高三下学期5月份联考)On August 21, 1986, a man making his way to Nyos, a village near a lake in northwest Cameroon, found dozens of dead animals along the road. He called into a home to see if the residents knew what had happened. Instead of getting answers, the man discovered that everyone in the village was dead, though they seemed otherwise unharmed.
Within days, officials confirmed that more than 1,700 people had died, along with several thousand animals. The strange and tragic event seemed similar to one that occurred at Lake Monoun two years earlier, just 60 miles to the south, where villagers found 37 people and many animals dead along its shores.
Initially, authorities were confused about the cause. Witnesses reported hearing strange sounds and seeing a sudden rise of white cloud from the lake, which quickly disappeared. Fortunately, the disaster caught the world’s attention. Scientists from around the globe gathered in Nyos to investigate. Because Lake Nyos sits on an inactive volcano, their first theory was that the volcano had erupted and sent poisonous gases into the air. After further research, however, they found the cause was much more unusual. The deadly events were called limnic(湖泊的)eruptions.
Although deadly and terrifying, limnic eruptions are extremely unlikely. They occur when dissolved(溶解的)carbon dioxide(CO2)suddenly erupts from the deep waters of a lake, forming a deadly gas cloud above the surface. Because carbon dioxide is heavier than air, the cloud will sink toward the ground, killing wildlife, livestock and humans.
Carbon dioxide dissolves more easily in the deep, cold parts of lakes. As a result, the bottom of deep lake can have very high levels of carbon dioxide, while the levels decrease towards the lake’s surface, and the pressure at the bottom builds and builds. Any changes in pressure can set off the rapid and forceful release of the accumulated carbon dioxide, causing an eruption.
It’s unclear what caused the lakes to explode, but considering they’re near the Oku Volcanic Field, it’s possible that an earthquake or a small volcanic eruption occurred before each disaster.
32. Why are the numbers mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To arouse the empathy of the readers.
B. To display the destructive effect of the events.
C. To prove the necessity of preparing for disasters.
D. To highlight the difficulty looking into the cause.
33. What is to blame for the mass deaths in Nyos?
A. High concentrations of CO2.
B. The great power of the lake explosion.
C. Poisonous gases from a volcano eruption.
D. The lake water flooding the nearby villages.
34. Which may have nothing to do with limnic eruptions?
A. An earthquake. B. Dissolved carbon dioxide.
C. Great pressure differences. D. Warm environments.
35. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A charity poster. B. A biography.
C. A science magazine. D. A cultural website.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C
【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了喀麦隆西北部湖泊附近的尼奥斯村和莫农湖附近发生了人员不知怎么的大规模死亡灾难性事件,解释了其产生的原因——湖泊喷发,湖泊喷发时产生的高浓度的二氧化碳杀死了人和动植物。
32.推理判断题。由第二段“Within days, officials confirmed that more than 1,700 people had died, along with several thousand animals. The strange and tragic event seemed similar to one that occurred at Lake Monoun two years earlier, just 60 miles to the south, where villagers found 37 people and many animals dead along its shores.(几天之内,官方证实有1700多人死亡,还有数千只动物死亡。这起奇怪而悲惨的事件似乎与两年前发生在南部60英里外的莫农湖的事件相似,当时村民们发现莫农湖沿岸有37人和许多动物死亡)”可知,此处灾难性事件动植物大量死亡,第二段用具体数字可展示这些事件的破坏性影响,故选B项。
33.细节理解题。由第三段中“After further research, however, they found the cause was much more unusual. The deadly events were called limnic(湖泊的)eruptions.(然而,经过进一步的研究,他们发现原因更不寻常。这些致命事件被称为湖泊喷发)”和第四段中“They occur when dissolved(溶解的)carbon dioxide(CO2)suddenly erupts from the deep waters of a lake, forming a deadly gas cloud above the surface. Because carbon dioxide is heavier than air, the cloud will sink toward the ground, killing wildlife, livestock and humans.(当溶解的二氧化碳(CO2)突然从湖泊深水中喷出,在水面上形成致命的气体云时,就会发生湖泊喷发。由于二氧化碳比空气重,云层会向地面下沉,杀死野生动物、牲畜和人类)”可知,尼奥斯的大规模死亡应该归咎于湖泊喷发时产生的高浓度的二氧化碳,故选A项。
34.细节理解题。由倒数第二段“Carbon dioxide dissolves more easily in the deep, cold parts of lakes. As a result, the bottom of deep lake can have very high levels of carbon dioxide, while the levels decrease towards the lake’s surface, and the pressure at the bottom builds and builds. Any changes in pressure can set off the rapid and forceful release of the accumulated carbon dioxide, causing an eruption.(二氧化碳在湖泊深处寒冷的地方更容易溶解。因此,深湖底部的二氧化碳含量可能非常高,而二氧化碳含量向湖面下降,底部的压力越来越大。压力的任何变化都会导致积聚的二氧化碳迅速而有力地释放,从而引发湖泊喷发)”和最后一段“It’s unclear what caused the lakes to explode, but considering they’re near the Oku Volcanic Field, it’s possible that an earthquake or a small volcanic eruption occurred before each disaster.(目前尚不清楚是什么原因导致了这些湖泊的喷发,但考虑到它们靠近奥库火山场,每次灾难发生前都有可能发生地震或小规模火山喷发)”可知,高含量溶解的二氧化碳、巨大的压力差和地震都可能导致湖泊喷发,D项“温暖的环境”未提及,与湖泊喷发无关,故选D项。
35.推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章讲述了喀麦隆西北部湖泊附近的尼奥斯村和莫农湖附近发生了人员不知怎么的大规模死亡灾难性事件,解释了其产生的原因——湖泊喷发,湖泊喷发时产生的高浓度的二氧化碳杀死了人和动植物,属于科普知识一类,文章可能出自“一本科学杂志”,故选C项。

(宁夏石嘴山市平罗中学2023-2024学年高三上学期期中)Unlike other natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes are very hard to see coming, even for scientists. ___36___ Thus, specific practices for earthquake preparedness are necessary. Here are four steps you can take to prepare yourself in advance.
Drop, cover and hold
If you feel the ground start to shake, drop, take cover under as table piece of furniture, and hold on. You can hide under something like a desk or table, with one arm holding on to a leg of the table and your other arm protecting your neck and head. ___37___ In modern homes, it is no stronger than any other part of the house and will not protect you from injury.
Make a family plan
___38___ Create a meeting point—somewhere easy for everyone to remember, or you could also meet at home. Whatever plan you decide on, don’t rely on your phone as your main form of communication. Technology fails all the time in disasters. A major earthquake in California, for example, damaged cell towers and knocked out communication services for days.
Secure your furniture
Those hanging shelves above your bed could be a danger during an earthquake. People often get injured from “flying or falling objects” like furniture or glass during earthquakes. So examine your home and ask yourself, “What could be a potential danger to my safety?” ___39___
Make digital copies of important documents
Important documents may get destroyed during earthquakes. Therefore, scan or take photos of your important documents, such as your license, financial records and insurance policy information. ___40___ This step can help ensure your documents will be available even if your computer is lost in a quake.
A. Then send them to your e-mail.
B. These are all important personal documents.
C. Make sure your household has a plan of action.
D. Whatever you do, do not stand in a doorframe.
E. If you find the answer, you need to runaway immediately.
F. Nowadays early detection systems can only give seconds of warming ahead.

Caught in a flood
Mary and her parents were downstairs in the living room. Mary was looking through the windows at the endless rain outside. It had been raining non-stop for three days. She had never seen a storm this bad. It was making her nervous. The wind roared and the rain beat on the roof and windows. Dad was listening to a weather report on the radio, while Mum was putting their important documents and disaster supplies into a bag.
“Mum, Dad,” said Mary suddenly, “I think we should leave here right away!”
“No,” said Dad. “It’s too late: The radio says the city has already been flooded.”
“We can drive our car through the floodwater. Let’s us leave! I’m really scared!” cried Mary. “We can’t do that, honey,” explained Mum, “otherwise the moving water could wash the car away!”
Mary walked to the door. She was curious to see how much water there was outside.
“Don’t open the door!” shouted Mum and Dad at the same time. “The water may flood in!”
Dad moved the dinner table against the door, in case the floodwater forced the door open. Mum waved to Mary to sit on the sofa. “Mary, don’t worry. Everything’s going to be OK,” she said softly, trying her best to comfort Mary. Her voice was calm, but Mary could tell she was worried too.
Without saying a single word, Dad walked to the sofa, sat down and hugged his wife and daughter. The sudden silence in the house seemed to make the wind and rain more frightening outside. What could they do?

【答案】
All of a sudden, the floodwater forced the door open. Shocked, frightened and extremely scared, Mary saw the floodwaters pouring into the room, leaving the dinner table upside down. She didn’t know what to do, trembling, and turned to her mum for help. An idea occurred to Mum that they had to go upstairs, because they had no choice but to save themselves at that moment, and it would be of great danger to stay in place before rescue came to them. Dad also rushed to the second floor without hesitation, not forgetting to take the bag containing important documents and disaster supplies.
Being upstairs, they breathed a sigh of relief. However, the floodwater had flooded into the whole living room downstairs. They were all nervous and scared to see the floodwater rise further. Fortunately, what relieved them a little was that they prepared enough food and water supplies in advance. The rain was still raining non-stop. Mary and Mum became increasingly nervous while Dad kept giving them comfort and encouragement. Later, they learned from the radio that the government was organizing rescue groups to save people caught in their home by boat. Thinking they would be saved, they couldn’t be more excited. Until then, the easiness and warmth welled up in every corner of the room, seeming to make the floodwater outside less frightening outside. It doesn’t matter what you did when you were faced with tough situation, and what matters most is that you made a wise decision and well prepared.
