Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the waves from her house. “It’s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,” she says. On October 29, 2012, the ocean turned extremely terrible. That night, Hurricane (飓风) Sandy hit the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. The next day, Natalie and her family found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie’s friends had lost their homes and people were having the most difficult time, especially the elderly. To help others rebuild, teenagers climbed stairs to send water and food to elderly people trapped (困住) in powerless high buildings. Natalie was deeply moved by all these things and decided to do something. “My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,” Natalie says, “but I can always choose how I deal with it.” Natalie’s choice was to help. She created a website page, matching people in need with people who wanted to offer help. Natalie posted information about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collection when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick got a new collection. In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-needed things to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. She was later invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change. Today, the streets are clear and many homes have been rebuilt. “I can’t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,” Natalie says, “Because of everyone’s efforts in making a better home, Rockaway will be even stronger than before.” 1．When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane, she found ________.

Natalie was deeply moved by all these things and decided to do something.”（为了帮助其他人重建，青少年们爬楼梯为被困在停电的高楼中的老年人送水和食物。Natalie被所有这些事情深深打动，决定做点什么。）可推知，帮助Rockaway重建的人们最激励Natalie。故选A。 5．标题归纳题。本文讲述了Natalie通过自己的努力帮助社区重建，体现了小人物也能产生大影响。用“Little people can make a big difference”做标题最合适。故选A。 【全文翻译】 美国少女娜塔莉・杜安一直觉得自己能住在纽约的罗克韦很幸运。她的家离海滩只有几个街区，从家里就能看到大海、听到海浪声。“是大海让罗克韦如此特别，” 她说。 2012 年 10 月 29 日，大海变得异常凶猛。那天晚上，飓风 “桑迪” 袭击了东海岸，罗克韦受到的打击尤为严重。第二天，娜塔莉和家人发现他们的社区已成一片废墟。娜塔莉的许多朋友失去了家园，人们都在经历最艰难的时光，尤其是老年人。 为了帮助其他人重建家园，青少年们爬楼梯，把水和食物送到被困在停电高楼里的老年人手中。娜塔莉被这些事深深打动，决定做点什么。 “妈妈告诉我，我无法控制发生在自己身上的事，” 娜塔莉说，“但我总能选择如何应对它。” 娜塔莉的选择是伸出援手。她创建了一个网页，为有需要的人和愿意提供帮助的人牵线搭桥。娜塔莉发布了一个名叫帕特里克的男孩的信息，他的房子被烧毁时，收藏的棒球卡也没了。几天之内，帕特里克就收到了一套新的收藏。在接下来的几个月里，她的网页帮助了很多孩子：克里斯托弗收到了一个新篮球，查理得到了一个新键盘。娜塔莉还与其他组织合作，为罗克韦带来了急需的物资。她的努力让她成了名人。后来，她受邀前往白宫，并被授予 “飓风桑迪变革先锋” 的荣誉称号。 如今，街道已经整洁，许多房屋也已重建。“我无法想象住在罗克韦以外的任何地方，” 娜塔莉说，“因为每个人都在努力打造一个更好的家园，罗克韦将会比以前更强大。” 【长难句分析】 ‌ 1. 句子：That night, Hurricane Sandy hit the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. 翻译：那天晚上，飓风 “桑迪” 袭击了东海岸，罗克韦受到的打击尤为严重。 分析：并列句，由 and 连接两个主谓宾 / 主谓结构。前半句主动语态（飓风袭击海岸），后半句被动语态（罗克韦被袭击），突出受灾主体。 2. 句子：To help others rebuild, teenagers climbed stairs to send water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high buildings. 翻译：为了帮助其他人重建家园，青少年们爬楼梯，把水和食物送到被困在停电高楼里的老年人手中。 分析：不定式 To help... 作目的状语，trapped in... 是过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰 elderly people；powerless 此处指 “停电的”，贴合语境。 3. 句子：She created a website page, matching people in need with people who wanted to offer help. 翻译：她创建了一个网页，为有需要的人和愿意提供帮助的人牵线搭桥。 分析：现在分词 matching... 作伴随状语，who 引导定语从句修饰 people；固定搭配 match A with B 表示 “将 A 与 B 配对 / 牵线”。 4. 句子：Because of everyone’s efforts in making a better home, Rockaway will be even stronger than before. 翻译：因为每个人都在努力打造一个更好的家园，罗克韦将会比以前更强大。 分析：Because of 引导原因状语（后接名词短语），in making... 是介词短语作后置定语修饰 efforts；even 修饰比较级 stronger，加强程度。 【重难词汇梳理】 ‌ ② 重难词汇梳理（共 15 个） 词汇 音标 词性 汉语翻译 teenager /ˈtiːneɪdʒə(r)/（n.）：青少年 lucky /ˈlʌki/（adj.）：幸运的 ocean /ˈəʊʃn/（n.）：海洋 hurricane /ˈhʌrɪkən/（n.）：飓风 hit /hɪt/（v.）：袭击；击打（过去式 / 过去分词均为 hit） ruins /ˈruːɪnz/（n.）：废墟（复数形式） rebuild /ˌriːˈbɪld/（v.）：重建（过去式 rebuilt） trap /træp/（v.）：困住；使陷入（过去式 trapped） powerless /ˈpaʊələs/（adj.）：停电的；无力的 create /kriˈeɪt/（v.）：创建；创造 match /mætʃ/（v.）：匹配；配对 collect /kəˈlekt/（v.）：收集（名词形式 collection） organization /ˌɔːɡənaɪˈzeɪʃn/（n.）：组织 effort /ˈefət/（n.）：努力 honor /ˈɒnə(r)/（v.）：授予荣誉；尊敬 实战演练 一、阅读理解 A Tuesday, Jan. 6, 9:50 p.m. We were sitting in our warm living room.
