Option 1:

Option 2:
No.No matter how advanced science and technology may be in the future, natural disasters will always challenge us because most of them are unpredictable.Human technical skill will never match the power of nature, so our ability to protect ourselves will always be limited and this means that we will always be victims of natural disasters in some way.

本文的语篇节选自小说《庞贝城的末日》。小说是一种文学体裁,它是通过人物、情节和环境来表现故事主题和情感的一种文学形式。阅读此类文学作品时应注意把握文章中提到的时间、地点,以此为依据来理清情节脉络。如本文以火山爆发前、中、后的时间顺序为线索展开叙述,描写了灾难前庞贝城的繁荣和灾难中的惨烈,以及今日人们面对庞贝城遗址时的感叹。同时,应重视文中的细节描写,通过这些细节来推测文章的深层含义。如本文中对灾难场面、人们心态的详细描写是为了展现自然灾害给人类带来的巨大伤害,让读者对自然产生敬畏之心,从而更加重视对环境的保护。
(一)赏用词之妙
1.The awful night rolled slowly away, and the dawn greyly broke on THE LAST DAY OF POMPEII!
赏析:本句话前半句中使用了动词短语roll away与 slowly搭配,生动形象地描绘出夜晚缓缓退去的场景,后半句中则用动词broke描述了庞贝城末日的开启,鲜明的对比,渲染出强烈的视觉效果。
2.It took the form of a huge tree: the trunk, blackness, the branches, fire!
赏析:冒号后的“the trunk, blackness, the branches, fire”以省略形式呈现,简短的用词有力地描绘了火山的形态,营造了一种火山爆发时紧张、扣人心弦的氛围。
3.Each hurried blindly and fearfully on.
赏析:此处使用了副词blindly和fearfully来修饰动词hurried,生动形象地描述出当时人们的惊慌与恐惧。副词用来修饰动词能使动作描述更生动,尤其适用于读后续写的动作描写中。

(1)翻译句子
①The seagull flew off, the waves rolled away and we should depart.
海鸥飞走了,浪涛滚滚而去,而我们也该离开了。
(2)选词填空(blindly, eagerly, fearfully)
②The boy looked at his mother eagerly,_hoping she could buy the toy for him.
③He wanted to decide for himself instead of blindly following others' advice.
④There was something coming to her and she was waiting for it, fearfully.
(二)赏句式之高
1.Trading ships bringing imports to the city or carrying exports overseas, along with golden pleasure boats for the rich, were crowded together in the glassy water of the port.
赏析:本句中的“bringing imports ...for the rich”使用了现在分词短语作定语修饰trading ships,描写出了庞贝城贸易往来的繁荣景象。现在分词(短语)作定语为高级表达方式,在写作中恰当使用可成为增分亮点。
2.Its walls were fresh as if painted yesterday; not a single colour changed on the rich pattern of its floors.
赏析:本句中使用了as if 引导的状语从句的省略形式,采用虚拟语气描绘出庞贝城从其安静的长眠之地被挖掘出来后,仍保持着千年前的原貌。
[提能训练] (完成句子)
①(2024·新高考Ⅰ卷写作)During the class, I painted a landscape_featuring_the_towering_green_trees_and_the_clear_blue_sky,_with a family of ducks swimming in the lake.(feature;分词作定语)
上课时,我画了一幅风景画,画中有高耸的绿树和湛蓝的天空,还有一群鸭子在湖里游泳。

(三)赏衔接之顺
At that moment, they felt the earth shaking beneath their feet; beyond in the distance, they heard the crash of falling roofs.A moment later, the mountain-cloud seemed to roll towards them, dark and rapid, like a river; at the same time, it threw out a shower of ashes and huge pieces of burning stone!
赏析:本段中使用了多个表示时间顺序的词语:at that moment、 a moment later、 at the same time,自然顺畅地描写了火山爆发时的各种景象,行文连贯,节奏紧凑,营造出强烈的画面感。
[提能训练] (完成下面语段)
At_that_moment,_I realised that there was someone caring about me.Although I was tired, at_the_same_time,_I felt very happy.
那时,我意识到有人在关心我。尽管很累,但同时,我感到非常快乐。
