Toronto’s CN Tower It’s one of the world’s tallest structures at 1,815 feet and the glassed-in elevators offer visitors a sense of just how high that is. In the tower’s 360 Restaurant, diners sit on a floor that performs a full cycle every 72 minutes, guaranteeing different views of the city with each bite of meal. Plus, if you order dishes at the restaurant, your entry to the CN Tower is free. The Fairmont Royal York Hotel It is one of Toronto’s oldest and most storied hotels. Since opening in 1929, it’s stood as one of the largest hotels in the British Commonwealth with 1,600 rooms. It’s also home to more than 300,000 bees, who live on the hotel’s rooftop and produce honey for the Fairmont Royal York’s dining facilities. The Toronto Islands North America’s largest urban car-free community offers plenty of green space and beaches for visitors of all ages. Those looking for exercise can explore the islands by bike while checking out the breathtaking views of Toronto’s skyline; visit the rental facility near the Centre Island ferry dock. St. Lawrence Market Voted the world’s best food market in 2012, the St. Lawrence Market complex consists of two buildings. The north building plays host to weekly Saturday fanner’s markets, while in the south building, open every day except Sunday and Monday, meat, baked goods, jewelry...are on offer. One of Toronto’s most iconic (标志性的) breakfasts — the pea-meal bacon sandwich is considered a signature dish. 1. Where can you have a bird’s eye-view of Toronto while dining? A. Toronto’s CN Tower. B. St. Lawrence Market. C. The Fairmont Royal York Hotel. D. The Toronto Islands. 2. What do the four attractions share in common? A. Great fame. B. Fantastic dishes. C. Breathtaking views. D. Diverse cultures. 3. From which is the text probably taken? A. A novel. B. A travel guide. C A news report. D. An advertisement. B The Amazon rainforest is nearing a tipping point, according to researchers from the University of Exeter, UK. Previous studies have warned that the world’s largest rainforest, which acts as the lung of the Earth, is approaching a critical threshold. But most past research has depended on projections using models, not real-world observations. Now, Tim Lenton and his colleagues have used two sets of satellite data covering between 1996 and 2016 to measure the greenness of the Amazon over time, watching for how it recovered after impacts such as drought and fires. They found that since the early 2000s, 76 percent of the region had become less resilient. Importantly, says Lenton, the signal of this growing trouble was picked up without immediately obvious changes such as huge drops in the forest’s biomass or tree cover. “Why do we care about it? It’s worth reminding ourselves that if it gets to that tipping point and we lose the Amazon rainforest then we get a significant feedback to global climate change,” says Lenton. He says a change into savannah would unlock about 90 billion tons of carbon dioxide stored in the trees and soil. Lenton says he cannot put an exact date on how far off the rainforest's tipping point might be, but he expects it to be a process that would take in a few years. Other Amazon experts say the research adds to a growing body of evidence that the rainforest is approaching a tipping point. The changes aren't the same throughout the rainforest. The south-eastern part of the Amazon has already changed to the point at which it is now a carbon emitter rather than a carbon sink. Matt Finer at the Amazon Conservation non-profit organization says the research could help decide which remaining parts of the forest to prioritize for protection. “The western and north-east Amazon appear the most resilient, showing the need to protect these areas now and in the future from any more damages,” he says. 4 How does Lenton conduct his research? A. By using previous models. B. By collecting data from the locals. C. By observing drought and fires. D. By using data from satellites. 5. What can we learn about the changes in the forest? A. They are not very noticeable at present. B. They have little effect on climate. C. People needn’t worry about them. D. People have prepared for them. 6. What does the underlined word “resilient” in the 4 paragraph mean? A. Able to produce carbon. B. Able to recover. C. Easy to extinct. D. Easy to be observed. 7. What does the author intend to do with the last paragraph? A. To list the threats facing the rainforest. B. To show the differences of the changes. C. To list the results of the research. D. To show the significance of the research. C Often called “the Lady with the Lamp”, Florence Nightingale was a caring nurse and a leader. She is mostly known for making hospitals a cleaner and safer place to be. Although her parents were from England, Florence Nightingale was born in 1820 in Italy while they were traveling. Growing up in a wealthy family, Florence Nightingale was homeschooled by her father and expected to get married at a young age. However, Nightingale believed she received a “calling” from God to help the poor and the sick. Despite the initial disapproval, her father eventually allowed her to go to Germany and then Paris to study. By the time she was 33, Nightingale was already making a name for herself in the nursing community. When the Crimean War began in 1854, the British, with the lack of medical supplies, overcrowding, and dirty conditions, were unprepared to deal with a large number of sick and injured soldiers. The Secretary of War, Sidney Herbert asked Nightingale to manage a group of nurses that would go to treat the wounded soldiers. When they got there, the doctors were unwelcoming because they did not want to work with female nurses. However, as the number of patients increased, the doctors needed their help. The nurses brought supplies, nutritious food and cleanliness to the military hospital. Nightingale was known for carrying a lamp and checking on the soldiers at night, so they gave her the nickname “the Lady with the Lamp”. Within six months, Nightingale and her team transformed the hospital, and the death rate went down significantly because of their work. When Nightingale returned from the war, she continued to improve the conditions of hospitals. She wrote 150 books, pamphlets (小册子), and reports on health-related issues. In her later years, often bedridden from illness, she continued to advocate for safe nursing practices until her death. Although Florence Nightingale died on August 13th, 1910, at the age of 90, her legacy continues. 8. What did Nightingale’s parents expect her to do at a young age? A. To get married. B. To travel in Italy. C. To study in Germany. D. To help the poor and the sick. 9. How did the doctors react when the nurse team arrived at first? A. Passionate. B. Welcoming. C. Uncooperative. D. Indifferent. 10. Why was Nightingale nicknamed “the Lady with the Lamp”? A. She liked collecting lamps. B. She often stayed up late for study. C. She brought lamps for the military hospital to use. D. She usually checked on the soldiers at night carrying a lamp. 11. What will be the probable content for the next paragraph? A. The books Nightingale wrote. B. The continued impact Nightingale has made. C. The difficulties Nightingale encountered before. D. The great things Nightingale did during her lifetime. D With a brain the size of a pinhead, insects possess a great sense of direction. They manage to locate themselves and move through small openings. How do they do this with their limited brain power? Understanding the inner workings of an insect’s brain can help us in our search towards energy-efficient computing, physicist Elisabetta Chicca of the University of Groningen shows with her most recent result: a robot that acts like an insect. It’s not easy to make use of the images that come in through your eyes when deciding what your feet or wings should do. A key aspect here is the apparent motion of things as you move. “Like when you're on a train,” Chicca explains. “The trees nearby appear to move faster than the houses far away.” Insects use this information to infer how far away things are. This works well when moving in a straight line, but reality is not that simple. To keep things manageable for their limited brain power, they adjust their behaviour: they fly in a straight line, make a turn, then make another straight line. In search of the neural mechanism (神经机制) that drives insect behaviour, PhD student Thorben Schoepe developed a model of its neuronal activity and a small robot that uses this model to find the position. His model is based on one main principle: always head towards the area with the least apparent motion. He had his robot drive through a long passage consisting of two walls and the robot centred in the middle of the passage, as insects tend to do. In other virtual environments, such as a space with small openings, his model also showed similar behaviour to insects. The fact that a robot can find its position in a realistic environment is not new. Rather, the model gives insight into how insects do the job, and how they manage to do things so efficiently. In a similar way, you could make computers more efficient. In the future, Chicca hopes to apply this specific insect behaviour to a chip as well. “Instead of using a general-purpose computer with all its possibilities, you can build specific hardware; a tiny chip that does the job, keeping things much smaller and energy-efficient.” She comments. 12. Why is “a train” mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. To illustrate the principle of train motion. B. To highlight why human vision is limited. C. To explain how insects perceive distances. D. To compare the movement of trees and houses. 13. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about concerning Schoepe’s model? A. Its novel design. B. Its theoretical basis. C. Its possible application. D. Its working mechanism. 14. What do the researchers think of the finding? A. Amusing. B. Discouraging. C. Promising. D. Contradictory. 15. What will Chicca’s follow-up study focus on? A. Inventing insect-like chips. B. Studying general-purpose robots. C. Creating insect-inspired computers. D. Developing energy-efficient hardware. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Can you imagine a civilization without music? Impossible, I would say.

The wind roared (呼啸) and the rain beat on the roof and windows. Dad was listening to a weather report on the radio, and at the same time Mum was putting their important documents (文件) and disaster supplies into a bag. “Mum, Dad,” said Mary all of a sudden, “I think we have to leave here right away!” “No!” said Dad loudly, “It’s too late! The radio says the city has already been flooded.” “We can drive our car through the floodwater! Let’s just leave! I’m really frightened!” cried Mary. “We can’t do that, honey,” explained Mum, “or 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 all right,” she said softly, trying her best to comfort Mary. Her voice sounded 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.

How does Lenton conduct his research? A. By using previous models. B. By collecting data from the locals. C. By observing drought and fires. D. By using data from satellites. 5. What can we learn about the changes in the forest? A. They are not very noticeable at present. B. They have little effect on climate. C. People needn’t worry about them. D. People have prepared for them. 6. What does the underlined word “resilient” in the 4 paragraph mean? A. Able to produce carbon. B. Able to recover. C. Easy to extinct. D. Easy to be observed. 7. What does the author intend to do with the last paragraph? A. To list the threats facing the rainforest. B. To show the differences of the changes. C. To list the results of the research. D. To show the significance of the research. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了英国埃克塞特大学的研究人员说，亚马孙雨林正接近一个临界点。介绍了研究开展的过程以及研究的发现和重要性。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Now, Tim Lenton and his colleagues have used two sets of satellite data covering between 1996 and 2016 to measure the greenness of the Amazon over time, watching for how it recovered after impacts such as drought and fires.(现在，Tim Lenton和他的同事们使用了两组覆盖1996年至2016年的卫星数据，来测量亚马孙河流域随时间变化的绿色程度，观察它在遭受干旱和火灾等影响后是如何恢复的)”可知，Lenton通过使用卫星数据来进行他的研究。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Importantly, says Lenton, the signal of this growing trouble was picked up without immediately obvious changes such as huge drops in the forest’s biomass or tree cover.(Lenton说，重要的是，这个日益严重的问题的信号没有立即出现明显的变化，比如森林生物量或树木覆盖率的大幅下降)”可知，森林的变化目前还不是很明显。故选A。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“They found that since the early 2000s, 76 percent of the region had become less”以及后文“Importantly, says Lenton, the signal of this growing trouble was picked up without immediately obvious changes”结合第一段“The Amazon rainforest is nearing a tipping point, according to researchers from the University of Exeter, UK.(英国埃克塞特大学的研究人员说，亚马孙雨林正接近一个临界点)”提到亚马孙雨林正接近一个临界点，可知，这个日益严重的问题的信号没有立即出现明显的变化，可推测他们发现，自21世纪初以来，该地区76%的地区能够恢复的能力下降了，问题日益严重。故画线词意思是“可以恢复”。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Matt Finer at the Amazon Conservation non-profit organization says the research could help decide which remaining parts of the forest to prioritize for protection. “The western and north-east Amazon appear the most resilient, showing the need to protect these areas now and in the future from any more damages,” he says.(亚马孙保护非营利组织的马特·范纳表示，这项研究可以帮助决定优先保护森林的哪些部分。他说：“亚马孙西部和东北部地区的抗灾能力最强，这表明现在和未来有必要保护这些地区免受更多破坏。”)”可推知，作者通过最后一段来显示研究的重要性。故选D。 C Often called “the Lady with the Lamp”, Florence Nightingale was a caring nurse and a leader. She is mostly known for making hospitals a cleaner and safer place to be. Although her parents were from England, Florence Nightingale was born in 1820 in Italy while they were traveling. Growing up in a wealthy family, Florence Nightingale was homeschooled by her father and expected to get married at a young age. However, Nightingale believed she received a “calling” from God to help the poor and the sick. Despite the initial disapproval, her father eventually allowed her to go to Germany and then Paris to study. By the time she was 33, Nightingale was already making a name for herself in the nursing community. When the Crimean War began in 1854, the British, with the lack of medical supplies, overcrowding, and dirty conditions, were unprepared to deal with a large number of sick and injured soldiers. The Secretary of War, Sidney Herbert asked Nightingale to manage a group of nurses that would go to treat the wounded soldiers. When they got there, the doctors were unwelcoming because they did not want to work with female nurses. However, as the number of patients increased, the doctors needed their help. The nurses brought supplies, nutritious food and cleanliness to the military hospital. Nightingale was known for carrying a lamp and checking on the soldiers at night, so they gave her the nickname “the Lady with the Lamp”. Within six months, Nightingale and her team transformed the hospital, and the death rate went down significantly because of their work. When Nightingale returned from the war, she continued to improve the conditions of hospitals. She wrote 150 books, pamphlets (小册子), and reports on health-related issues. In her later years, often bedridden from illness, she continued to advocate for safe nursing practices until her death. Although Florence Nightingale died on August 13th, 1910, at the age of 90, her legacy continues. 8. What did Nightingale’s parents expect her to do at a young age? A. To get married. B. To travel in Italy. C. To study in Germany. D. To help the poor and the sick. 9. How did the doctors react when the nurse team arrived at first? A. Passionate. B. Welcoming. C. Uncooperative. D. Indifferent. 10. Why was Nightingale nicknamed “the Lady with the Lamp”? A. She liked collecting lamps. B. She often stayed up late for study. C. She brought lamps for the military hospital to use. D. She usually checked on the soldiers at night carrying a lamp. 11. What will be the probable content for the next paragraph? A. The books Nightingale wrote. B. The continued impact Nightingale has made. C The difficulties Nightingale encountered before. D. The great things Nightingale did during her lifetime. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔的生平，以及她为改善医院的医疗环境所作的突出贡献。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Growing up in a wealthy family, Florence Nightingale was homeschooled by her father and expected to get married at a young age.(弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔在一个富裕的家庭长大，由父亲在家教学，并被期望在年轻的时候结婚。)”可知，弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔的父母期望她在年轻的时候结婚。故选A。 【9题详解】 观点态度题。根据第三段中的“When they got there, the doctors were unwelcoming because they did not want to work with female nurses.(当她们到达那里时，医生们并不友善，因为他们不想和女护士一起工作。)”可知，当护士团队到达时，一开始这些医生的态度很不友善，他们不愿与女护士一起工作，由此可知，他们是不愿配合的（uncooperative）。passionate意为“狂热的”；welcoming意为“热情的，友好的”；indifferent意为“漠不关心的”。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Nightingale was known for carrying a lamp and checking on the soldiers at night, so they gave her the nickname ‘the Lady with the Lamp’.(南丁格尔以带灯在夜间检查士兵而闻名，因此他们给她起了‘提灯女神’的绰号。)”可知，南丁格尔被称为“提灯女神”，是因为她经常在晚上拿着灯去检查士兵们的状况。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“Although Florence Nightingale died on August 13th, 1910, at the age of 90, her legacy continues.(尽管弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔于1910年8月13日去世，享年90岁，但她的遗赠仍在继续。)”可知，南丁格尔去世后她的遗赠仍在继续，由此可推测出，接下来应该会讲述南丁格尔所产生的持续影响。故选B。 D With a brain the size of a pinhead, insects possess a great sense of direction. They manage to locate themselves and move through small openings. How do they do this with their limited brain power? Understanding the inner workings of an insect’s brain can help us in our search towards energy-efficient computing, physicist Elisabetta Chicca of the University of Groningen shows with her most recent result: a robot that acts like an insect. It’s not easy to make use of the images that come in through your eyes when deciding what your feet or wings should do. A key aspect here is the apparent motion of things as you move. “Like when you're on a train,” Chicca explains. “The trees nearby appear to move faster than the houses far away.” Insects use this information to infer how far away things are. This works well when moving in a straight line, but reality is not that simple. To keep things manageable for their limited brain power, they adjust their behaviour: they fly in a straight line, make a turn, then make another straight line. In search of the neural mechanism (神经机制) that drives insect behaviour, PhD student Thorben Schoepe developed a model of its neuronal activity and a small robot that uses this model to find the position. His model is based on one main principle: always head towards the area with the least apparent motion. He had his robot drive through a long passage consisting of two walls and the robot centred in the middle of the passage, as insects tend to do. In other virtual environments, such as a space with small openings, his model also showed similar behaviour to insects. The fact that a robot can find its position in a realistic environment is not new. Rather, the model gives insight into how insects do the job, and how they manage to do things so efficiently. In a similar way, you could make computers more efficient. In the future, Chicca hopes to apply this specific insect behaviour to a chip as well. “Instead of using a general-purpose computer with all its possibilities, you can build specific hardware; a tiny chip that does the job, keeping things much smaller and energy-efficient.” She comments. 12. Why is “a train” mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. To illustrate the principle of train motion. B. To highlight why human vision is limited. C. To explain how insects perceive distances. D. To compare the movement of trees and houses. 13. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about concerning Schoepe’s model? A. Its novel design. B. Its theoretical basis. C. Its possible application. D. Its working mechanism. 14. What do the researchers think of the finding? A. Amusing. B. Discouraging. C. Promising. D. Contradictory. 15. What will Chicca’s follow-up study focus on? A. Inventing insect-like chips. B. Studying general-purpose robots. C. Creating insect-inspired computers. D. Developing energy-efficient hardware. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了物理学家Elisabetta Chicca的最新研究成果：一个模仿昆虫行为的机器人，该机器人能够帮助人们理解昆虫大脑的运作机制，并探讨了这种机制在提高计算机能效方面的潜在应用。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“A key aspect here is the apparent motion of things as you move. “Like when you're on a train,” Chicca explains. “The trees nearby appear to move faster than the houses far away.” Insects use this information to infer how far away things are.(这里的一个关键方面是当你移动时物体的明显运动。“就像你在火车上一样，”Chicca解释道。“附近的树似乎比远处的房子移动得快。”昆虫利用这些信息来推断物体的距离)”可推知，本段提到火车是为了解释昆虫如何感知距离的。故选C项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“In search of the neural mechanism (神经机制) that drives insect behaviour, PhD student Thorben Schoepe developed a model of its neuronal activity and a small robot that uses this model to find the position. His model is based on one main principle: always head towards the area with the least apparent motion. He had his robot drive through a long passage consisting of two walls and the robot centred in the middle of the passage, as insects tend to do. In other virtual environments, such as a space with small openings, his model also showed similar behaviour to insects.(为了寻找驱动昆虫行为的神经机制，博士生Thorben Schoepe开发了一个昆虫神经活动模型，并开发了一个小型机器人，利用这个模型来找到昆虫的位置。他的模型基于一个主要原则：总是朝着运动最不明显的区域前进。他让他的机器人穿过一条由两堵墙组成的长通道，机器人就像昆虫一样，站在通道的中间。在其他虚拟环境中，比如有小开口的空间，他的模型也表现出与昆虫相似的行为)”可知，关于Schoepe的模型，本段主要讨论了它的工作机制。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“In a similar way, you could make computers more efficient.(同样地，你可以使计算机更有效率)”以及最后一段“In the future, Chicca hopes to apply this specific insect behaviour to a chip as well. “Instead of using a general-purpose computer with all its possibilities, you can build specific hardware; a tiny chip that does the job, keeping things much smaller and energy-efficient.” She comments.(将来，Chicca希望将昆虫的这种特殊行为也应用到芯片上。“你可以构建特定的硬件，而不是使用具有所有功能的通用计算机；一个微小的芯片就能完成这项工作，让物体变得更小、更节能。”她评论道)”可推知，研究人员认为这一发现可以让物体变得更小、更节能，所以是有前途的。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In the future, Chicca hopes to apply this specific insect behaviour to a chip as well. “Instead of using a general-purpose computer with all its possibilities, you can build specific hardware; a tiny chip that does the job, keeping things much smaller and energy-efficient.” She comments.(将来，Chicca希望将昆虫的这种特殊行为也应用到芯片上。“你可以构建特定的硬件，而不是使用具有所有功能的通用计算机；一个微小的芯片就能完成这项工作，让物体变得更小、更节能。”她评论道)”可推知，Chicca的后续研究重点是将昆虫的这种特殊行为应用到芯片上。故选A项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Can you imagine a civilization without music?

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 anxious and nervous. The wind roared (呼啸) and the rain beat on the roof and windows. Dad was listening to a weather report on the radio, and at the same time Mum was putting their important documents (文件) and disaster supplies into a bag. “Mum, Dad,” said Mary all of a sudden, “I think we have to leave here right away!” “No!” said Dad loudly, “It’s too late! The radio says the city has already been flooded.” “We can drive our car through the floodwater! Let’s just leave! I’m really frightened!” cried Mary. “We can’t do that, honey,” explained Mum, “or 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 all right,” she said softly, trying her best to comfort Mary. Her voice sounded 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? 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After a brief discussion, Mum and Dad made a decision. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the rain came to a stop. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: After a brief discussion, Mum and Dad made a decision. They believed that they should stay in the house. They thought it would be really dangerous to try to walk through the water to get to higher ground. “Mary, we’ll have to go upstairs and wait there,” said Mum. “OK, Mum, if that’s what you think is best ...” Mary replied uncertainly. So they went upstairs and waited. Downstairs, water started flooding into the living room and kitchen. All three of them were nervous, but at least they had disaster supplies, including food and drinking water. Finally, the rain came to a stop. But Mary and her family couldn’t leave while the house was still flooded. They listened to the radio and learned that rescue workers in boats were coming to rescue people who were trapped in their homes. They waited for a boat to arrive at their house. Fortunately, about half an hour later, the rescue workers in a boat discovered them and took them to a safe place in time. Their house had been badly damaged, but they were all happy to be still alive. While life is full of uncertainties, there is always hope! 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物和洪水为线索展开，讲述了玛丽与父母困于家中，窗外暴雨连绵三日未歇，风暴之猛烈前所未见，令她深感焦虑，父亲听闻电台播报城市已遭洪水侵袭，母亲则忙着准备应急物品，玛丽提议立即撤离，但父母认为为时已晚且驾车穿越洪水危险重重，拒绝了她的建议，为防洪水涌入，父亲用餐桌堵住门口，并安慰受到惊吓的玛丽，尽管他自己也显得十分担忧，一家人紧紧相拥，面对着未知的危机。。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“经过简短的讨论，爸爸妈妈做了一个决定。”可知，第一段可描写父母的决定是什么以及接下来洪水的情况。 ②由第二段首句内容“终于，雨停了。”可知，第二段可描写雨停后一家人等待救援并在最后被救援人员发现获救以及对生活的感悟——虽然生活充满了不确定性，但总会有希望。 2.续写线索：决定去屋内地势高的地方——洪水涌入——雨停——等待救援——被发现并获救——人生感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①涌入：flooding into/crowd into/ swarm into ②被困：were trapped in/be stuck in ③到达：arrive at/get to/ reach 情绪类 ①紧张：nervous/stressed/tense/anxious ②高兴：happy/pleased/glad 【点睛】[高分句型1] They thought it would be really dangerous to try to walk through the water to get to higher ground.（运用了“it作形式主语，动词不定式短语作真正主语”结构） [高分句型2] They listened to the radio and learned that rescue workers in boats were coming to rescue people who were trapped in their homes.（运用了who引导的限制性定语从句） [高分句型3] While life is full of uncertainties, there is always hope!（运用了while引导的让步状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
