It all happened so quickly. I was sitting in my room with my cat, Smartie，on my lap①， when the roof just flew off②. All of a sudden③， there was sky where the roof had been. I was so frightened that I just froze④. Part 1　教材原文助读 本句属于“Sb. was doing sth. when...”句型，意为“某人正在做某事，这时(突然)……”，常用于描述突发事件或状况。句中“when the roof just flew off”刻画了飓风的迅疾和能量的巨大；with my cat...lap为with复合结构，Smartie是 my cat 的同位语。 where在此引导定语从句，修饰先行词sky。 ①lap/læp/n.[C](坐着时的)大腿部；(跑道等的)一圈 ②fly off 突然快速地离开、消失或分开 ③all of a sudden (＝suddenly)突然，忽然 ④freeze (froze, frozen)vi.惊呆，吓呆 vi.& vt.(使)冻结；(使)冻住 [拓展]freezing adj.极冷的；冰冻的 freezing point n．[U]冰点 暴风雨后现繁星 说来也怪，但我真的不太记得那场飓风了。一切都发生得太快了。我正在自己的房间里坐着，我的猫咪斯玛蒂卧在我的腿上，这时屋顶突然就飞走了。突然之间，屋顶变成了天空，我吓得整个人都呆住了。 Mom cried to get out quickly, but it was already too late by then. The rain was coming down so hard and so fast. Our street turned into⑤ a river in seconds⑥. We were going nowhere⑦. ⑤turn(...) into...(把……)变成…… ⑥in seconds/in a second很快地，马上 [同义]in a moment/minute 马上，一会儿 ⑦nowhere /'nəʊweə/ adv.什么地方都不，无处 [拓展]nowhere near 远非，远不是 妈妈大喊着让快点出去，但为时已晚。暴雨迅速倾盆而下，道路瞬间变成了河流。我们无处可去。 At first, I was pleased we could stay at home, but soon it got really tough⑧. Without a roof, staying inside was too dangerous. There was water everywhere, but we couldn’t drink any of it otherwise⑨ we’d get really sick. We just had drinking water⑩ that was sent to us by helicopter⑪ , but it was never enough. It was August, so it was really, really hot and it smelled so bad everywhere! I just spent the days watching the boats going up and down the street and looking out for⑫ Smartie.He had disappeared the moment the storm hit. 单个的v.-ing短语作主语，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。 “感官动词＋宾语＋宾语补足语”结构，现在分词作宾语补足语，表示主动和动作正在进行。 the moment引导的时间状语从句。 ⑧tough adj.艰苦的；严厉的；坚强的 [拓展]be tough on/with...对……严厉的 ⑨otherwise/'ʌðəwaIz/adv.否则，要不然 ⑩drinking water 饮用水 [注意]这里的drinking是v.-ing作定语，表示被修饰名词的性能或用途。这类短语还有： swimming pool 游泳池 sleeping car 卧铺车 reading room 阅览室 ⑪helicopter/'helIkɒptə/n.[C]直升机 ⑫look out for 注意查看，留心(周围情况，以便发现特定的人或物)；尽力照顾好(某人) 一开始，我很庆幸我们能够待在家里，但很快情况就变得十分艰难。没有屋顶，待在屋内是很危险的。到处都是水，可我们一滴也不能喝，否则我们会染上重病。我们只有直升机送来的饮用水，但总是不够喝。当时正值8月，所以天气极度炎热，而且到处都特别难闻！我只能整天看着船只在街上来来往往，并留意寻找斯玛蒂。风暴来袭的那一刻，它就失踪了。 Living in the open air⑬，we became breakfast，lunch and dinner for the mosquitos⑭. But Mom said that whatever happens, we should always try to see the good side of things.It was difficult to stay positive⑮，though⑯.We had lost our home and everything in it, including Smartie. All we had left were the clothes on our backs. But as Mom kept on reminding⑰ us， we were all together and safe. Mom’s words made us feel better. I remember us all lying under the midnight⑱ sky and looking up at the stars. Because there were no lights, we could see the Big Dipper⑲ , the Little Dipper⑳ and the Milky Way㉑. It was amazing! Even though we had lost a lot，moments like those gave us hope for the future. 画线部分是一个主从复合句。whatever happens是whatever引导的让步状语从句，whatever 在从句中作主语。 as引导的非限制性定语从句。 lying under the midnight sky和looking up at the stars 是两个并列的v.-ing 短语，在句中作动词remember 的宾语补足语；us 是这两个v.-ing短语的逻辑主语。 even though引导的让步状语从句。 ⑬in the open air 在户外，在露天的地方 ⑭mosquito/mə'skiːtəʊ/n.[C]蚊子(变复数时，加-s或-es均可) ⑮stay positive 保持乐观 stay linking verb 保持(某种状态) positive adj.积极的，乐观的 [反义]negative adj.消极的 ⑯though adv.熟词生义 (尤用于句末补充说明，使语气减弱)不过，可是，然而 ⑰keep on doing sth. 反复地做某事 ⑱midnight/'mIdnaIt/n.[U]子夜，午夜 ⑲the Big Dipper 北斗七星 ⑳the Little Dipper 小北斗七星 ㉑the Milky Way 银河 我们生活在露天的环境里，变成了蚊子的一日三餐。但妈妈说，不管发生什么，我们都应总是努力看到事情好的一面。然而，(在这种情况下)保持乐观很难。我们失去了我们的家和家里面的一切，包括斯玛蒂。我们只剩下身上的衣服了。不过，正如妈妈不断提醒我们的那样，我们都还安全地待在一起。妈妈的话让我们感觉好受了一些。我记得我们都躺在午夜的苍穹之下，仰望星空。因为没有灯光，我们可以看到北斗七星、小北斗七星和银河。真是令人惊叹！虽然我们失去了很多，但像这样的时刻给了我们对未来的希望。 Although it was only a few days before we were rescued, it felt like months.We were taken to another town in a faraway㉒ county㉓.Thankfully㉔，Smartie came home just in time. We were so happy to take him with us 　, although then, none of us knew that we wouldn’t be back for quite a while㉕. 　不定式短语作原因状语。 ㉒faraway adj.遥远的(用作前置定语) far away 很远(作状语或表语) ㉓county/'kaʊnti/n.[C](美国等国家的)县；(英国的)郡 ㉔thankfully adv.(用以表示高兴)幸亏；高兴地，感激地 ㉕quite a while 好长一段时间，好久 while n．[sing.]一段时间，一会儿 for a while 一会儿 虽然几天之后我们就得救了，但感觉就像是过了几个月。我们被带到远方县里的另一个镇上。值得庆幸的是，斯玛蒂及时回来了。我们很开心能够带着它一起，尽管当时我们都不知道要很久以后才能回来。 Now, one year has passed and I’m back home in New Orleans. Some families have yet to㉖ return, but many others have come back.Although we are surrounded by㉗ reminders of the disaster, we are working together to rebuild our homes and our lives. Now we have another chance to look up at the stars of New Orleans, their beauty inspiring us and giving us confidence to move on㉘ 　. 　独立主格结构，在句中作状语，其中their beauty是inspiring和giving的逻辑主语。 ㉖have yet to 还没有 ㉗be surrounded by/with...被……包围/围绕 ㉘move on 继续前进 现在，一年已经过去了，我回到了新奥尔良的家中。有些家庭还未回来，不过也有很多已经返回。尽管周围的一切都提醒着我们这里曾发生的灾难，但我们正齐心协力，重建我们的家园和生活。现在，我们又有机会仰望新奥尔良的星星了，它们的美好激励着我们，给我们继续前行的信心。 Read the text and choose the best answers. 1．Which of the following best describes author’s mother?

More than 100 tornado warnings were issued—the most ever for a day. The tornado in Kentucky caused at least 50 people’s deaths，which was described as the worst in this state’s history. As one of the largest countries in the world，the United States is also one of the most geographically various countries—from deserts to forests to miles of coast line. While this comes with many advantages，it unfortunately leaves the country easily damaged by all kinds of natural disasters. Different parts of the United States face different types of natural disasters. The west coast is at risk of wildfires，earthquakes，and even volcanic eruptions. The southern part of the country is frequently hit by tornadoes，and the east coast faces the threat of serious hurricanes every year. Midwestern areas near rivers are often flooded by huge floods，and these are the worst floods in American history. The governments reviewed the weather event in each state’s history that caused the highest number of deaths to determine the worst natural disaster in every state. Thanks to their location and geographic research，some states made preparations ahead of time to avoid mass-casualty (重大伤亡的) weather events. However，many other parts of the country have been less fortunate，experiencing massive storms and floods.Many such events，like the 1900 hurricane that hit Galveston of Texas，killed so many people that it was impossible to get an exact number of final deaths，especially during that time. American weather continues to become more changeable.In 2018，there were 14 weather events that caused over $1 billion in damage.And in many parts of the country，these weather events could become even more destructive(毁灭性的) because of global warming.

Add your evacuation routes and shelter plans as well. More importantly, you have to monitor potential (潜在的) disasters. 2 Watch news and weather reports in your region so that you can be aware of potential disasters in the area. You can also download apps for your smartphone that will warn you of potential disasters near your location. 3 If your family is at risk for exposure to a natural disaster, explain to them what’s happening. Review your emergency preparedness plan so that everyone knows what to do in the event of a disaster. Thirdly, track the progress of forthcoming disasters. Check back with your news station frequently so that you’ll be aware of changes in weather or conditions that could alter the course of a disaster. 4 In this way, you’ll be well informed of what’s happening. Finally, evacuate before a disaster strikes, if possible. If danger is coming in your area, evacuate before it strikes. 5 So be sure to follow their instructions. If you aren’t able to evacuate, shelter in place until it’s safe to leave the area. A．For instance, creating a plan is a good idea. B．Make a contact card for each member of the family. C．Secondly, prepare family members for what may happen. D．You may not know what kind of disaster is about to strike. E. To achieve this, firstly, identify potential threatening situations. F.
