Many people shared their scary stories of surviving. Taylor Bergmann, 19, and his mom held onto a tree for over an hour after their home flooded. They waited until the water went down. Janice Riley is a volunteer. She cleaned houses full of mud and found a wooden box with gold and silver. She and the homeowner opened it, feeling glad. David Fry helped people get onto a hotel roof. He said it was a dangerous moment, but he and his family all lived. Callie McAlary was camping. She said the flood was terrible, but her cabin stayed dry. She thanked the counselors who bravely saved kids. Collene Lucas and her husband were among those hurt by the flood. They are an old couple. When the Guadalupe River rose fast and covered their home, they lost almost all their things. "I feel lucky. I only have good things," Lucas said. She was at work when the storm came. When she heard the river had flooded a nearby store, she drove her truck home quickly to save her sleeping husband. "Water got into the truck. I opened the driver's door. I put my left leg out, and the water was almost up to my hip," Lucas remembered. She walked through deep water to the nearest fire station for help. "I really think I walked on water because I got there safely," she said. "And the rescue went well. That's what saved my husband's life." After the flood, which killed at least 120 people, churches and volunteers in the area came to help those in need. 2025 年 7 月，洪水袭击了得克萨斯州，带来了巨大的悲伤。许多人分享了他们可怕的幸存经历。 19 岁的泰勒・伯格曼和他的妈妈在他们的家被洪水淹没后，紧紧抓住一棵树超过一个小时。他们一直等到水位下降。 珍妮丝・莱利是一名志愿者。她清理满是泥浆的房子时，发现了一个装着金银的木盒子。她和房主打开盒子，心里很高兴。 大卫・弗莱帮助人们爬到酒店的屋顶上。他说那是一个危险的时刻，但他和他的家人都活了下来。 凯莉・麦卡拉里当时正在露营。她说洪水很可怕，但她的小屋没有进水。她感谢那些勇敢救孩子的辅导员。 科琳・卢卡斯和她的丈夫是受洪水影响的人之一。他们是一对老夫妇。当瓜达卢佩河水位迅速上涨并淹没他们的家时，他们几乎失去了所有的东西。 “我觉得很幸运。我只想着好的事情，” 卢卡斯说。暴风雨来的时候她正在上班。当她听说河水淹没了附近的一家商店时，她赶紧开着卡车回家去救正在睡觉的丈夫。 “水进了卡车里。我打开驾驶座的门。我把左腿伸出去，水几乎到了我的臀部，” 卢卡斯回忆道。 她穿过深水走到最近的消防站求助。“我真的觉得自己是在水上行走，因为我安全到达了那里，” 她说。“而且救援进行得很顺利。这就是救了我丈夫命的原因。” 这场洪水造成至少 120 人死亡，洪水过后，该地区的教堂和志愿者前来帮助那些需要帮助的人。 【长难句分析】 1.When she heard the river had flooded a nearby store, she drove her truck home quickly to save her sleeping husband. 翻译：当她听说河水淹没了附近的一家商店时，她赶紧开着卡车回家去救正在睡觉的丈夫。 分析：“When” 引导时间状语从句，从句中又包含一个宾语从句 “the river had flooded a nearby store”，作 “heard” 的宾语；主句中 “she” 是主语，“drove” 是谓语，“her truck home” 是宾语和地点状语，“quickly” 是方式状语，“to save her sleeping husband” 是目的状语，说明开车回家的目的。 2.After the flood, which killed at least 120 people, churches and volunteers in the area came to help those in need. 翻译：这场洪水造成至少 120 人死亡，洪水过后，该地区的教堂和志愿者前来帮助那些需要帮助的人。 分析：“After the flood” 是时间状语；“which killed at least 120 people” 是定语从句，修饰 “the flood”，“which” 在从句中作主语；主句中 “churches and volunteers in the area” 是主语，“came” 是谓语，“to help those in need” 是目的状语，说明前来的目的。 【重难词汇梳理】 1.cabin /ˈkæbɪn/n. 小屋 2.counselor /ˈkaʊnsələ(r)/n. 辅导员 3.couple /ˈkʌpl/n. 夫妇 4.rise /raɪz/v. 上涨 5.truck /trʌk/n. 卡车 6.hip /hɪp/n. 臀部 7.rescue /ˈreskjuː/n. 救援 8.church /tʃɜːtʃ/n. 教堂 Passage 2 The Heimlich Maneuver 海姆立克急救法 Parents with young kids know very well that small things or bits of food can get stuck in the throat easily. This can make someone choke, which blocks the airway. Older kids and adults can also choke. The Heimlich maneuver is a way to help someone who is choking. How to Do the Heimlich Maneuver The National Safety Council gives these steps to help a conscious choking person: Stand behind the person and put one leg forward between their legs. For a child, bend down to their height and keep your head to one side. Put your arms around the person and find their belly button. Put the thumb side of one fist against the stomach just above the belly button. Hold your fist with your other hand and push in and up quickly into the person's stomach. Do this five times or until the object comes out. Keep doing the thrusts until the person spits out the object or becomes unconscious. If the person becomes unconscious, start CPR. Get medical help as soon as you can. If you are alone and choking, you can push your stomach against the back of a chair to get the object out. This is better than trying to do the thrusts on yourself. 有小孩的父母非常清楚，小东西或小块食物很容易卡在喉咙里。这会让人窒息，因为它会堵塞气道。大一点的孩子和成年人也可能窒息。海姆立克急救法是一种帮助窒息者的方法。 如何实施海姆立克急救法 美国国家安全委员会给出了以下步骤来帮助有意识的窒息者： 站在患者身后，将一条腿向前伸到患者的两腿之间。 如果是孩子，弯腰到与他们等高的位置，把头偏向一边。 双臂环绕患者，找到他们的肚脐。 将一只拳头的拇指侧抵在肚脐正上方的腹部。 用另一只手握住这只拳头，快速向患者的腹部内上方推压。做五次，或者直到异物排出。 继续推压，直到患者将异物吐出或失去意识。 如果患者失去意识，开始做心肺复苏。 尽快寻求医疗帮助。 如果你独自一人且窒息了，你可以用腹部撞击椅子背来排出异物。这比自己尝试做推压动作要好。 【长难句分析】 1.Parents with young kids know very well that small things or bits of food can get stuck in the throat easily. 翻译：有小孩的父母非常清楚，小东西或小块食物很容易卡在喉咙里。 分析：“Parents with young kids” 是主语，“with young kids” 是介词短语作定语，修饰 “parents”；“know very well” 是谓语；“that small things...in the throat easily” 是宾语从句，作 “know” 的宾语，说明父母清楚的内容。 2.This can make someone choke, which blocks the airway. 翻译：这会让人窒息，因为它会堵塞气道。 分析：主句是 “This can make someone choke”；“which blocks the airway” 是定语从句，修饰前面整个主句，“which” 在从句中作主语，说明让人窒息的原因。 【重难词汇梳理】 1.throat /θrəʊt/n. 喉咙 2.choke /tʃəʊk/v. 窒息 3.block /blɒk/v. 堵塞 4.airway /ˈeəweɪ/n. 气道 5.maneuver /məˈnuːvə(r)/n. 方法；操作 6.conscious /ˈkɒnʃəs/adj. 有意识的 7.belly button /ˈbeli bʌtn/n. 肚脐 8.fist /fɪst/n. 拳头 9.thrust /θrʌst/n. 推压 10.spit /spɪt/v. 吐出 11.against /əˈɡenst/prep. 紧靠；倚着 实战演练 一、阅读理解 A A report says Indonesia did an excellent job in stopping natural disasters (灾害) . It came second of 193 countries around the world. Indonesia is in a tropical (热带的) area and it’s at the meeting of two oceans and continents (海洋和大陆). These make disasters happen easily in this country, such as storms, floods (洪水) and earthquakes (地震) . On April 26, 2017, Indonesia started Disaster Preparedness Day. The country did it in order to help its people understand disasters better and learn about life-saving skills through the activities. On this day every year, Indonesian people join in different kinds of activities. There are many activities all over the country to help people learn what to do when they face disasters. Mahyeldi, head of West Sumatra Province in Indonesia, gave a talk before activities began. He told about the big earthquake in 2009 there. “A large number of people got badly hurt and even died in it. It takes around ten years to bring everything back to the way it was before, ” he said. “It’s important for us to learn how to save ourselves from disasters. In this way, we’ll know how to act quickly if disasters come, ” he added. In fact, disasters can happen anywhere at any time. Together with Indonesia, let’s get ready before disasters arrive. 1．What can we know from the second paragraph? A．The weather in Indonesia. B．The reason for Indonesia’s disasters.

Tornadoes can be very dangerous. The cause of tornadoes is not fully known. They form during thunderstorms. Inside the stormy clouds, warm air rises and cool air falls. The warm and cool air can begin to spin. This spinning air can push out of the storm clouds as a funnel. When the funnel of spinning air touches the ground, it becomes a tornado. There are three levels of tornadoes. Weak tornadoes have wind speeds that are below 160km/h. They last for less than ten minutes. They cause small damage like fallen tree branches. Strong tornadoes have wind speeds that are between 177km/h and 330km/h and can last about twenty minutes. These tornadoes can cause quite a bit of damage and can push cars and trains over. The most dangerous tornadoes are called violent tornadoes. They can last for longer than an hour and have wind speeds that are higher than 330km/h. These deadly tornadoes can lift houses and cars into the air. Tornadoes and cyclones are very different. Tornadoes form on land and cyclones form on the ocean. Tornadoes can be a few kilometres wide. The biggest cyclones can be hundreds of kilometres across. Some people set up a safe room in a basement. They get a radio, water, sleeping bags and extra food. They also keep their house and garden clean by getting rid of dead trees or weak fences. If a tornado alert is given, get your saferoom ready. Do not go outside or near windows. Hide under a large bed or table. Get out of your trailer or car. If you are outside, find flat ground. Lie down and protect your neck and head with your arms. Once the tornado is over, turn on the radio. Avoid any damaged areas and do not go near any fallen power lines. 5．What can we learn about tornadoes? A．Tornadoes usually happen on sunny and windy days. B．Tornadoes happen when the storm clouds touch the ground. C．Tornadoes can be hundreds of kilometres across the land. D．Tornadoes can take houses and cars into the air sometimes. 6．The following sentence can best be put at the beginning of _________. There are many different ways to prepare for a tornado. A．Paragraph 1 B．Paragraph 2 C．Paragraph 3 D．Paragraph 4 7．The meaning of the underlined phrase “getting rid of” might be ________. A．throwing B．keeping C．counting D．recording 8．What’s the purpose of the article? A．To introduce tornadoes to us. B．To show us the danger of tornadoes. C．To tell the differences of natural disasters. D．To give us some tips to protect ourselves. 【答案】5．D 6．D 7．A 8．A 【导语】本文介绍了龙卷风的形成、等级分类及应对措施。 5．细节理解题。根据“These deadly tornadoes can lift houses and cars into the air.”可知，龙卷风有时可以把房屋和汽车卷到空中。故选D。 6．推理判断题。根据“If a tornado alert is given, get your saferoom ready. Do not go outside or near windows. Hide under a large bed or table. Get out of your trailer or car. If you are outside, ...”可知，第四段是关于龙卷风来临前应做的一些准备，D选项“应对龙卷风有很多不同的方法。”可以被放在第四段开头。故选D。 7．词句猜测题。根据“They also keep their house and garden clean by getting rid of dead trees or weak fences.”可知，通过清除枯树或脆弱的栅栏来保持房屋和花园的清洁，“getting rid of”表示“扔掉”，与throwing同义。故选A。 8．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章首先介绍了龙卷风的形成、等级，接着对比了龙卷风和旋风的不同，最后提到了应对龙卷风的准备措施，整体是在向我们介绍龙卷风相关知识。故选A。 二、完形填空 March 28th started like any other school day. 1 2:20 pm, I was writing notes in geography class 2 my chair suddenly moved a little.

The classroom became full of soft talking, though 4 only felt small shakes here in Yunnan. During the break, my classmates and I came around the smart whiteboard to watch the news. We saw 5 buildings near Myanmar’s border (边境). Zhang Ming pointed at the screen and said loudly, “My cousin lives in Ruili, only 200 kilometers from the 6 of the earthquake!” Everyone looked worried. Then our class decided to do something to help. First, we used 7 chalk to draw Myanmar’s flag on posters and wrote “Yunnan Stands With You!” and “Stay Strong!”. Next, at 3 pm, our school did a surprise earthquake drill (演练). We all 8 under our desks quickly, just like we practiced every month.

The next Monday at school, Chen Yue’s eyes were red 11 she cried while watching rescue (救援) videos after dinner yesterday. “I wish I could help carry rocks!” she said. But when our teacher showed us Chinese 12 boxes arriving in Myanmar, we all clapped and smiled. After the earthquake, many things changed. Workers came to 13 our school walls for cracks (裂纹). My dad bought a fire extinguisher, and my mom put bottled water under my bed. Now I 14 keep my shoes beside my bed, just in case (以防万一). Before going to sleep, I looked at the earthquake news on my phone again.

Many people shared their scary stories of surviving. Taylor Bergmann, 19, and his mom held onto a tree for over an hour after their home flooded. They waited until the water went down. Janice Riley is a volunteer. She cleaned houses full of mud and found a wooden box with gold and silver. She and the homeowner opened it, feeling glad. David Fry helped people get onto a hotel roof. He said it was a dangerous moment, but he and his family all lived. Callie McAlary was camping. She said the flood was terrible, but her cabin stayed dry. She thanked the counselors who bravely saved kids. Collene Lucas and her husband were among those hurt by the flood. They are an old couple. When the Guadalupe River rose fast and covered their home, they lost almost all their things. "I feel lucky. I only have good things," Lucas said. She was at work when the storm came. When she heard the river had flooded a nearby store, she drove her truck home quickly to save her sleeping husband. "Water got into the truck. I opened the driver's door. I put my left leg out, and the water was almost up to my hip," Lucas remembered. She walked through deep water to the nearest fire station for help. "I really think I walked on water because I got there safely," she said. "And the rescue went well. That's what saved my husband's life." After the flood, which killed at least 120 people, churches and volunteers in the area came to help those in need. 2025 年 7 月，洪水袭击了得克萨斯州，带来了巨大的悲伤。许多人分享了他们可怕的幸存经历。 19 岁的泰勒・伯格曼和他的妈妈在他们的家被洪水淹没后，紧紧抓住一棵树超过一个小时。他们一直等到水位下降。 珍妮丝・莱利是一名志愿者。她清理满是泥浆的房子时，发现了一个装着金银的木盒子。她和房主打开盒子，心里很高兴。 大卫・弗莱帮助人们爬到酒店的屋顶上。他说那是一个危险的时刻，但他和他的家人都活了下来。 凯莉・麦卡拉里当时正在露营。她说洪水很可怕，但她的小屋没有进水。她感谢那些勇敢救孩子的辅导员。 科琳・卢卡斯和她的丈夫是受洪水影响的人之一。他们是一对老夫妇。当瓜达卢佩河水位迅速上涨并淹没他们的家时，他们几乎失去了所有的东西。 “我觉得很幸运。我只想着好的事情，” 卢卡斯说。暴风雨来的时候她正在上班。当她听说河水淹没了附近的一家商店时，她赶紧开着卡车回家去救正在睡觉的丈夫。 “水进了卡车里。我打开驾驶座的门。我把左腿伸出去，水几乎到了我的臀部，” 卢卡斯回忆道。 她穿过深水走到最近的消防站求助。“我真的觉得自己是在水上行走，因为我安全到达了那里，” 她说。“而且救援进行得很顺利。这就是救了我丈夫命的原因。” 这场洪水造成至少 120 人死亡，洪水过后，该地区的教堂和志愿者前来帮助那些需要帮助的人。 【长难句分析】 1.When she heard the river had flooded a nearby store, she drove her truck home quickly to save her sleeping husband. 翻译：当她听说河水淹没了附近的一家商店时，她赶紧开着卡车回家去救正在睡觉的丈夫。 分析：“When” 引导时间状语从句，从句中又包含一个宾语从句 “the river had flooded a nearby store”，作 “heard” 的宾语；主句中 “she” 是主语，“drove” 是谓语，“her truck home” 是宾语和地点状语，“quickly” 是方式状语，“to save her sleeping husband” 是目的状语，说明开车回家的目的。 2.After the flood, which killed at least 120 people, churches and volunteers in the area came to help those in need. 翻译：这场洪水造成至少 120 人死亡，洪水过后，该地区的教堂和志愿者前来帮助那些需要帮助的人。 分析：“After the flood” 是时间状语；“which killed at least 120 people” 是定语从句，修饰 “the flood”，“which” 在从句中作主语；主句中 “churches and volunteers in the area” 是主语，“came” 是谓语，“to help those in need” 是目的状语，说明前来的目的。 【重难词汇梳理】 1.cabin /ˈkæbɪn/n. 小屋 2.counselor /ˈkaʊnsələ(r)/n. 辅导员 3.couple /ˈkʌpl/n. 夫妇 4.rise /raɪz/v. 上涨 5.truck /trʌk/n. 卡车 6.hip /hɪp/n. 臀部 7.rescue /ˈreskjuː/n. 救援 8.church /tʃɜːtʃ/n. 教堂 Passage 2 The Heimlich Maneuver 海姆立克急救法 Parents with young kids know very well that small things or bits of food can get stuck in the throat easily. This can make someone choke, which blocks the airway. Older kids and adults can also choke. The Heimlich maneuver is a way to help someone who is choking. How to Do the Heimlich Maneuver The National Safety Council gives these steps to help a conscious choking person: Stand behind the person and put one leg forward between their legs. For a child, bend down to their height and keep your head to one side. Put your arms around the person and find their belly button. Put the thumb side of one fist against the stomach just above the belly button. Hold your fist with your other hand and push in and up quickly into the person's stomach. Do this five times or until the object comes out. Keep doing the thrusts until the person spits out the object or becomes unconscious. If the person becomes unconscious, start CPR. Get medical help as soon as you can. If you are alone and choking, you can push your stomach against the back of a chair to get the object out. This is better than trying to do the thrusts on yourself. 有小孩的父母非常清楚，小东西或小块食物很容易卡在喉咙里。这会让人窒息，因为它会堵塞气道。大一点的孩子和成年人也可能窒息。海姆立克急救法是一种帮助窒息者的方法。 如何实施海姆立克急救法 美国国家安全委员会给出了以下步骤来帮助有意识的窒息者： 站在患者身后，将一条腿向前伸到患者的两腿之间。 如果是孩子，弯腰到与他们等高的位置，把头偏向一边。 双臂环绕患者，找到他们的肚脐。 将一只拳头的拇指侧抵在肚脐正上方的腹部。 用另一只手握住这只拳头，快速向患者的腹部内上方推压。做五次，或者直到异物排出。 继续推压，直到患者将异物吐出或失去意识。 如果患者失去意识，开始做心肺复苏。 尽快寻求医疗帮助。 如果你独自一人且窒息了，你可以用腹部撞击椅子背来排出异物。这比自己尝试做推压动作要好。 【长难句分析】 1.Parents with young kids know very well that small things or bits of food can get stuck in the throat easily. 翻译：有小孩的父母非常清楚，小东西或小块食物很容易卡在喉咙里。 分析：“Parents with young kids” 是主语，“with young kids” 是介词短语作定语，修饰 “parents”；“know very well” 是谓语；“that small things...in the throat easily” 是宾语从句，作 “know” 的宾语，说明父母清楚的内容。 2.This can make someone choke, which blocks the airway. 翻译：这会让人窒息，因为它会堵塞气道。 分析：主句是 “This can make someone choke”；“which blocks the airway” 是定语从句，修饰前面整个主句，“which” 在从句中作主语，说明让人窒息的原因。 【重难词汇梳理】 1.throat /θrəʊt/n. 喉咙 2.choke /tʃəʊk/v. 窒息 3.block /blɒk/v. 堵塞 4.airway /ˈeəweɪ/n. 气道 5.maneuver /məˈnuːvə(r)/n. 方法；操作 6.conscious /ˈkɒnʃəs/adj. 有意识的 7.belly button /ˈbeli bʌtn/n. 肚脐 8.fist /fɪst/n. 拳头 9.thrust /θrʌst/n. 推压 10.spit /spɪt/v. 吐出 11.against /əˈɡenst/prep. 紧靠；倚着 实战演练 一、阅读理解 A A report says Indonesia did an excellent job in stopping natural disasters (灾害) . It came second of 193 countries around the world. Indonesia is in a tropical (热带的) area and it’s at the meeting of two oceans and continents (海洋和大陆). These make disasters happen easily in this country, such as storms, floods (洪水) and earthquakes (地震) . On April 26, 2017, Indonesia started Disaster Preparedness Day. The country did it in order to help its people understand disasters better and learn about life-saving skills through the activities. On this day every year, Indonesian people join in different kinds of activities. There are many activities all over the country to help people learn what to do when they face disasters. Mahyeldi, head of West Sumatra Province in Indonesia, gave a talk before activities began. He told about the big earthquake in 2009 there. “A large number of people got badly hurt and even died in it. It takes around ten years to bring everything back to the way it was before, ” he said. “It’s important for us to learn how to save ourselves from disasters. In this way, we’ll know how to act quickly if disasters come, ” he added. In fact, disasters can happen anywhere at any time. Together with Indonesia, let’s get ready before disasters arrive. 1．What can we know from the second paragraph? A．The weather in Indonesia. B．The reason for Indonesia’s disasters.

C．To describe the activities on Disaster Preparedness Day. D．To encourage people to learn to get ready for the disaster. B A tornado is a tower of spinning air. Tornadoes can be very dangerous. The cause of tornadoes is not fully known. They form during thunderstorms. Inside the stormy clouds, warm air rises and cool air falls. The warm and cool air can begin to spin. This spinning air can push out of the storm clouds as a funnel. When the funnel of spinning air touches the ground, it becomes a tornado. There are three levels of tornadoes. Weak tornadoes have wind speeds that are below 160km/h. They last for less than ten minutes. They cause small damage like fallen tree branches. Strong tornadoes have wind speeds that are between 177km/h and 330km/h and can last about twenty minutes. These tornadoes can cause quite a bit of damage and can push cars and trains over. The most dangerous tornadoes are called violent tornadoes. They can last for longer than an hour and have wind speeds that are higher than 330km/h. These deadly tornadoes can lift houses and cars into the air. Tornadoes and cyclones are very different. Tornadoes form on land and cyclones form on the ocean. Tornadoes can be a few kilometres wide. The biggest cyclones can be hundreds of kilometres across. Some people set up a safe room in a basement. They get a radio, water, sleeping bags and extra food. They also keep their house and garden clean by getting rid of dead trees or weak fences. If a tornado alert is given, get your saferoom ready. Do not go outside or near windows. Hide under a large bed or table. Get out of your trailer or car. If you are outside, find flat ground. Lie down and protect your neck and head with your arms. Once the tornado is over, turn on the radio. Avoid any damaged areas and do not go near any fallen power lines. 5．What can we learn about tornadoes?

Our teacher, Mr. Wang, stopped teaching and looked at his phone. “A 7.9 magnitude earthquake just 3 Myanmar (缅甸),” he told us quietly. The classroom became full of soft talking, though 4 only felt small shakes here in Yunnan. During the break, my classmates and I came around the smart whiteboard to watch the news. We saw 5 buildings near Myanmar’s border (边境). Zhang Ming pointed at the screen and said loudly, “My cousin lives in Ruili, only 200 kilometers from the 6 of the earthquake!” Everyone looked worried. Then our class decided to do something to help. First, we used 7 chalk to draw Myanmar’s flag on posters and wrote “Yunnan Stands With You!” and “Stay Strong!”. Next, at 3 pm, our school did a surprise earthquake drill (演练). We all 8 under our desks quickly, just like we practiced every month.

That night, I couldn’t stop thinking about the earthquake. “Are students in Myanmar trapped (困住) like in the Sichuan 10 we learned about?” I asked my mom. The next Monday at school, Chen Yue’s eyes were red 11 she cried while watching rescue (救援) videos after dinner yesterday. “I wish I could help carry rocks!” she said. But when our teacher showed us Chinese 12 boxes arriving in Myanmar, we all clapped and smiled. After the earthquake, many things changed. Workers came to 13 our school walls for cracks (裂纹). My dad bought a fire extinguisher, and my mom put bottled water under my bed. Now I 14 keep my shoes beside my bed, just in case (以防万一). Before going to sleep, I looked at the earthquake news on my phone again.
