丽莎:我知道。我们回去的时候下着大雨,有一辆卡车差点撞上我们,真是险些出事。
海涛:天哪,还好你没有受伤!
丽莎:是啊,不过回到家后,发现家里到处都是水,房子看起来一片狼藉。你的家呢?

课文解析2
How One Girl Saved Many Lives
On 26 December 2004, Tilly Smith, a 10-year-old English schoolgirl, and her family were on holiday in Phuket, Thailand. Everyone was enjoying the beautiful weather that morning. Some people were swimming in the sea, and some were relaxing on the beach. But while Tilly was walking along the beach with her family, she noticed something strange. Thick white froth was forming on top of the waves. Next, she saw that the waves were coming in instead of going out.
Just then, she remembered something important. Two weeks before, her geography teacher had explained that earthquakes under the sea could create dangerous waves called tsunamis!
“I know what’s going to happen! There’s going to be a big wave,” Tilly cried. Unfortunately, her family didn’t believe her and wanted to continue their walk. However, Tilly refused to take a single step further. Finally, her mother decided to continue the walk alone, and the rest of her family returned to the hotel.
Back at the hotel, Tilly’s father told a security guard about the tsunami. The security guard was shocked. He knew about the huge earthquake in nearby Indonesia. It meant that a tsunami was possible! He jumped into action right away and rushed to get people off the beach. Everyone began to panic. People were screaming and running as fast as they could when they saw a huge wall of water coming from the sea.
Tilly was right! Her mother was one of the last people on the beach, but thankfully, her family made it to safety just as the water hit the hotel. The 2004 tsunami caused over 200,000 deaths, but no one on the beach died that day.
This true story shows how a single lesson could mean the difference between life and death. Thanks to her knowledge and quick thinking, one schoolgirl was able to save over 100 lives.
一个女孩如何拯救众多生命
2004年12月26日,10岁的英国女学生蒂莉·史密斯与家人在泰国普吉岛度假。那天早晨,所有人都在享受宜人的天气——有人在海中畅游,有人在沙滩休憩。但当蒂莉与家人沿海滩散步时,她注意到了异常现象:海浪顶端形成了厚厚的白色泡沫,接着她发现海浪不是退向大海,而是朝岸边涌来。
就在那一刻,她记起了关键知识。两周前,地理老师曾讲解过海底地震可能引发名为"海啸"的危险巨浪!
"我知道要发生什么了!会有大浪袭来!"蒂莉惊呼道。遗憾的是,家人并未相信她,仍想继续散步。但蒂莉坚决不肯再往前一步。最终母亲决定独自前行,其他家庭成员则返回酒店。
回到酒店后,蒂莉的父亲将海啸预警告知保安。保安震惊不已——他已知晓邻近印度尼西亚发生的强烈地震,这意味着海啸极有可能发生!他立即展开行动,冲向海滩疏散人群。当人们望见如高墙般从海上迫近的巨浪时,恐慌瞬间蔓延,尖叫声四起,所有人拼命奔逃。
蒂莉的预感成真了!她的母亲是最后撤离海滩的人员之一,但万幸的是,当海水冲击酒店时,全家已抵达安全地带。2004年这场海啸导致超过20万人遇难,但当天那片海滩上无一人丧生。
这个真实故事昭示着:一堂课的知识可能意味着生死之别。凭借所学知识和敏捷思维,一名女学生成功拯救了百余条生命。

【详解】句意:在教室里踢球很危险,因为你可能会撞到你的同学。
考查动词辨析。kick踢;behave表现;cheat欺骗;reduce减少。根据“the ball”以及“you may hit your classmates”可知,此处说的是在教室里踢球,“kick the ball”表示“踢球”,符合语境,所以应该用kick。故选A。

A.to smoke; smoking B.smoking; smoke C.to smoke; smoke D.for smoking; smoking
【答案】A
【详解】句意:抽烟对学生们来说并不酷。他们必须对抽烟说“不”。
考查固定搭配以及介词的用法辨析。It’s + adj. + for sb. + to do sth.表示“对某人来说做某事是……的”,因此第一空需用不定式to smoke;第二空“to”是介词,介词后应接动名词,因此用smoking。故选A。
3.The boy has trouble in ________ with his brother for a long time.
A.swim B.swam C.to swim D.swimming
【答案】D
【详解】句意:这个男孩长时间和哥哥一起游泳有困难。
考查非谓语动词。swim游泳,是动词原形;swam游泳,是过去式;to swim游泳,是动词不定式;swimming游泳,是动名词或现在分词。have trouble in doing sth.是固定短语,意为“做某事有困难”,所以此处应用动名词形式。故选D。

A.gave out; help B.gave away; to help C.gave in; help
【答案】B
【详解】句意:他捐了很多钱给有困难的人们,来帮助他们摆脱困境。
考查动词短语及非谓语动词。give out分发;give away捐赠;give in屈服。根据“He … lots of money to the people in trouble … them out.”可知,第一空表示“捐钱给困境中的人”,用gave away;第二空用不定式 to help 表目的,即“捐钱的目的是帮助他们”。故选B。
5.The man is one of ________ ping-pong players in China. He is my hero.
A.worse B.the best C.better D.the worst
【答案】B
【详解】句意:这个男人是中国最好的乒乓球运动员之一。他是我的偶像。
考查形容词的最高级。worse更差的;the best最好的;better更好的;the worst最差的。根据“one of”可知,此处是“one of the+最高级+名词复数”结构,表示“最……的……之一”,结合“He is my hero.”可知,他是最好的运动员之一。故选B。
6.—Is Maths ________ subject for Mike, Mr. Green?
—Yes. In fact, he can learn it ________ others if he works hard.
A.the best; as good as B.the worst; as good as
C.the best; as well as D.the worst; as well as
【答案】D
【详解】句意:——格林先生,数学是迈克最差的科目吗?——是的。事实上,如果他努力,他能学得和别人一样好。
考查形容词辨析和副词短语。the best最好的,形容词最高级;the worst最差的,形容词最高级;as good as同……一样好,形容词短语,修饰名词或代词;as well as同……一样好,副词短语,修饰动词或整个动作。第一空中,结合答语及语境可推断,该答句为肯定答复且为含有if的条件状语从句,是格林先生回复对方假设的情况,即“如果迈克努力学习,他可以像其他人将数学学得一样好”,则问句应在询问格林先生迈克的数学是否是“最差的”科目,第一空应用“the worst”表示“最差的”;结合第二空所在句可知,learn为谓语动词,空处应用副词短语“as well as”修饰动词learn。故选D。
7.He refused ________ the questions although the policeman asked him twice.
A.answer B.to answer C.answers D.answering
【答案】B
【详解】句意:尽管警察问了他两次,他还是拒绝回答这些问题。
考查动词不定式。固定搭配refuse to do sth.“拒绝做某事”,故此处要用动词不定式作宾语。故选B。
8.After the big argument, the twin sisters refused _________ with each other.
A.to talk B.talking C.talk D.talked
【答案】A
【详解】句意:在大吵一架之后,双胞胎姐妹拒绝和彼此谈话。

A.beside B.except C.except for D.except that

考查介词辨析。beside在……旁边;except除了……之外,指同类事物;except for除……之外,对细节的修正;except that除了……之外,后接完整句子。根据“Everyone attended the meeting...the manager”可知,经理没有来,且与everyone属于同类别。故选B。
10.We can put “un” before the following words to give them the opposite (相反的) meaning except “__________”.
A.certain B.usual C.important D.active
【答案】D
【详解】句意:除了“active”之外,我们可以在以下单词前面加上“un”来赋予它们相反的意义。
考查构词法。certain确定的;usual寻常的;important重要的;active积极的。前3个单词前面加“un”都可以成为原本单词的反义词,即uncertain(不确定的)、unusual(不同寻常的)、unimportant(不重要的);active(积极的)的反义词是inactive。故选D。
11.The boy bought photos ________ games ________ making phone calls.
A.play, would rather B.to play, instead of C.to play, rather
【答案】B
【详解】句意:这个男孩买照片来玩游戏,而不是打电话。
考查非谓语动词和介词短语的用法。play玩,动词原形,不能直接用于名词后;would rather宁愿,后应接动词原形;rather相当,通常需与than连用。分析句子成分可知,第一个空需用不定式to play表示目的;第二个空需用instead of表示替代,后接动名词making。故选B。
12.Lily bought some books for her friend instead of ________ flowers.
A.buy B.bought C.to buy D.buying
【答案】D
【详解】句意:Lily给她的朋友买了一些书而不是买花。
考查非谓语动词。空处位于介词“of”后,填动名词形式buying作宾语。故选D。

A.gets B.got C.has got D.was getting
【答案】B
【详解】句意:露西的闹钟没有响,所以她今天早上起晚了。
考查时态辨析。gets一般现在时,表示经常性动作;got一般过去时,表示过去发生的动作;has got现在完成时,表示过去发生的动作对现在有影响;was getting过去进行时,表示过去某个时间正在进行的动作。根据主句“Lucy’s alarm clock didn’t go off”和“this morning”可知,句子描述过去具体事件,空处需用一般过去时表示“起晚了”这一动作。故选B。
14.Susan __________ very early to go to school every school day.
A.gets on B.gets to C.gets off D.gets up
【答案】D
【详解】句意:苏珊每个上学日都很早起床去上学。

A.as well as B.as a result C.such as D.for example
【答案】C
【详解】句意:许多孩子有诸如阅读、绘画或听音乐等爱好。
考查短语辨析。as well as和,以及;as a result因此;such as例如;for example例如。根据“hobbies ... reading, painting or listening to music.”可知,空后是在列举有哪些爱好,且空后无逗号,用such as表示。故选C。

二、单词拼写
17.Now my partner (prepare) a speech.
【答案】is preparing
【详解】句意:现在我的搭档正在准备一个演讲。prepare“准备”,动词。由时间状语“Now”可知,句子应用现在进行时,结构为“be + 现在分词”;主语“my partner”为单数,因此be动词用is。故填is preparing。

How One Girl Saved Many Lives
On 26 December 2004, Tilly Smith, a 10-year-old English schoolgirl, and her family were on holiday in Phuket, Thailand. Everyone was enjoying the beautiful weather that morning. Some people were swimming in the sea, and some were relaxing on the beach. But while Tilly was walking along the beach with her family, she noticed something strange. Thick white froth was forming on top of the waves. Next, she saw that the waves were coming in instead of going out.
Just then, she remembered something important. Two weeks before, her geography teacher had explained that earthquakes under the sea could create dangerous waves called tsunamis!
“I know what’s going to happen! There’s going to be a big wave,” Tilly cried. Unfortunately, her family didn’t believe her and wanted to continue their walk. However, Tilly refused to take a single step further. Finally, her mother decided to continue the walk alone, and the rest of her family returned to the hotel.
Back at the hotel, Tilly’s father told a security guard about the tsunami. The security guard was shocked. He knew about the huge earthquake in nearby Indonesia. It meant that a tsunami was possible! He jumped into action right away and rushed to get people off the beach. Everyone began to panic. People were screaming and running as fast as they could when they saw a huge wall of water coming from the sea.
Tilly was right! Her mother was one of the last people on the beach, but thankfully, her family made it to safety just as the water hit the hotel. The 2004 tsunami caused over 200,000 deaths, but no one on the beach died that day.
This true story shows how a single lesson could mean the difference between life and death. Thanks to her knowledge and quick thinking, one schoolgirl was able to save over 100 lives.
一个女孩如何拯救众多生命
2004年12月26日,10岁的英国女学生蒂莉·史密斯与家人在泰国普吉岛度假。那天早晨,所有人都在享受宜人的天气——有人在海中畅游,有人在沙滩休憩。但当蒂莉与家人沿海滩散步时,她注意到了异常现象:海浪顶端形成了厚厚的白色泡沫,接着她发现海浪不是退向大海,而是朝岸边涌来。
就在那一刻,她记起了关键知识。两周前,地理老师曾讲解过海底地震可能引发名为"海啸"的危险巨浪!
"我知道要发生什么了!会有大浪袭来!"蒂莉惊呼道。遗憾的是,家人并未相信她,仍想继续散步。但蒂莉坚决不肯再往前一步。最终母亲决定独自前行,其他家庭成员则返回酒店。
回到酒店后,蒂莉的父亲将海啸预警告知保安。保安震惊不已——他已知晓邻近印度尼西亚发生的强烈地震,这意味着海啸极有可能发生!他立即展开行动,冲向海滩疏散人群。当人们望见如高墙般从海上迫近的巨浪时,恐慌瞬间蔓延,尖叫声四起,所有人拼命奔逃。
蒂莉的预感成真了!她的母亲是最后撤离海滩的人员之一,但万幸的是,当海水冲击酒店时,全家已抵达安全地带。2004年这场海啸导致超过20万人遇难,但当天那片海滩上无一人丧生。
这个真实故事昭示着:一堂课的知识可能意味着生死之别。凭借所学知识和敏捷思维,一名女学生成功拯救了百余条生命。
