Ⅲ. 阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,计30分)
A
Last Friday night, a terrible storm hit our town. It started at around 10:00 p.m. and lasted for two hours.
When the storm came, I was doing my math homework in my room. My mom was washing dishes in the kitchen, and my dad was checking the windows. Suddenly, the wind blew so hard that the windows shook. The rain beat against the glass loudly, and my little sister hid behind my mom because she was afraid.
At 11:00 p.m., the power went out. We couldn’t use the lights or TV, so we lit candles and sat together in the living room. My dad told us stories to make us feel safe.
After the storm stopped, we went out the next morning. We saw many fallen trees on the roads, and some houses had broken roofs. People in our town worked together to clean up the streets and fix the broken things.

Natural disasters are common around the world, but we can learn to protect ourselves.
Rainstorms
Stay inside your house when a rainstorm comes. Close all windows and doors. Don’t use electrical appliances, because lightning can be dangerous.
Earthquakes
If you are indoors, hide under a strong table or desk. Stay away from windows and heavy furniture. If you are outdoors, go to an open area and stay away from buildings and trees.
Floods
Move to higher ground quickly if a flood comes. Never walk or drive through flood water—it can be deeper and faster than it looks.

It was a sunny Saturday morning. I was riding my bike to the park. Suddenly, the sky turned dark and the wind started to blow strongly. I knew a storm was coming, so I hurried to a nearby shop to wait.
Soon the rain poured down. It beat against the shop’s windows loudly. Lightning flashed and thunder boomed. I waited for about an hour until the rain slowed down.
When I walked home, I saw many fallen leaves and small branches on the road. Some bikes were lying on the ground because of the strong wind. I think we should always check the weather report before going out. It can help us stay safe.

A Terrible Rainstorm
Last Sunday afternoon, I was drawing in my room when the sky turned dark. Soon a heavy rainstorm came.
The wind blew strongly and the rain beat against the windows loudly. Lightning flashed and thunder boomed. I felt a little scared and sat next to my mom.
After the storm stopped, we went outside. Some trees fell down and the street was messy. But neighbors helped each other clean up.
I learned that storms are dangerous, but people’s kindness can make us feel safe.
