三读后续写
This morning, I asked Mom to take me to the pool. But she reminded me Id watch kids for her as she got a job interview at the radio station. Still, I asked, “Couldnt Julie watch them instead?”
“She can help, Jess, but shes only ten. Ill feel better with a fifteen⁃year⁃old in charge, honey.” Mom gave me a hug and off she went.
So there I was, stuck watching my five year⁃old sister Lyssa and three⁃year⁃old brother Dougie. I usually didnt mind watching the kids, but the problem was our little rented trailer house(拖车房屋). It was like living in a barbecue cooker on hot days. Well, as the saying goes, “It is what it is.” and I decided to make the best of it.
We moved out into the front yard and I filled a paddling pool for the kids. I noticed that the sky looked a little strange — greenish⁃yellow, with gray clouds rising for miles — but I didnt think anything of it. As kids jumped in the pool, I settled down to read my magazine. I put on headphones and turned the volume loud enough to block out their noise. Before long I got lost in a cool story.
I was almost at the end when Julie came over to me, dropping water on my article. I took my headphones off and sand, “Hey, whats wrong with you? ” She pointed upwards. That was when I saw the sky and about fell off my chair. Not only had the clouds moved toward us, but they were also swirling(打旋). I hadnt realized how much the wind had picked up. A huge, gray⁃black funnel (漏斗) snaked down from the sky to the ground — a real, live tornado! And it headed our way at a high speed!
Though I had learned about tornado safety, at that moment, the only thing I could remember was that a tornado develops fast and that trailer houses are the worst place to take shelter. I tried hard to remember other safety tips. Get low. Yeah. If youre caught outside, find the lowest spot. Scanning around, I saw a line of bushes.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
There was a ditch(沟渠)there for shelter, a hundred yards off.
But in a couple of minutes, the tornado was over.

1.C 根据下文“A while later, the mobile home”可知,“mobile home”(活动房屋),此处为原词复现,故选C。
2.A 根据上文“sitting on the porch”(坐在门廊上)及下文“immersed in the beauty of Zorinsky Lake”(沉浸在湖景中)可知,作者与朋友在悠闲度日,故选A。
3.A 上文描述作者沉浸于美景,下文用“suddenly”转折,说明起初未察觉风暴来临,“clueless”(毫无头绪的,未察觉的)符合逻辑,故选A。
4.C 根据下文“no crickets and frogs calling out. Nothing”可知,此处指没有任何声音,即“silence(寂静)”,故选C。
5.B 龙卷风的声音常被比作货运火车的轰鸣声,“thundering”(发出雷鸣般巨响)符合对龙卷风声音的描述,故选B。
6.B 根据上文“as soon as we shut the door, we heard what sounded like a freight train”以及常识可知,龙卷风来袭时,房屋会晃动,“quaked”(震动,摇晃)符合场景,故选B。
7.C 根据上文“I called my friends to go inside the home and as soon as we shut the door, we heard what sounded like a freight train”可知,此处为短语“alarm went off”指“警报响起”,符合灾害发生后的情境,故选C。
8.B 根据上文“It was so loud to the point”可知,上文提到警报非常响,由此可推断,作者担心听力受损,故选B。
9.C 根据上文“there was a tornado”可知,指龙卷风袭击奥马哈,用strike。故选C。
10.D 根据上文“no deaths, few were injured”及 “still held up”可知,房屋完好,“held up strong”(稳固支撑)符合语义,故选D。
11.D 根据上文“It turned out our community wasnt in the”可知,此处为短语“in the path of the tornado”指“处于龙卷风经过的路径上”,是固定表达,说明社区未被龙卷风正面袭击,故选D。
12.B 根据下文“a couple of trees”可知,龙卷风虽未正面袭击,但仍造成破坏,吹倒了几棵树,“tipped”(使倾斜、翻倒)符合灾害影响,故选B。

三、读后续写
There was a ditch there for shelter, a hundred yards off. I quickly gathered the kids, yelling, “Run to the ditch! As fast as you can!” The wind howled, and debris flew everywhere. Julie held Dougies hand tightly, and I grabbed Lyssa. We ran with all our might. The force of the wind pushed against us, making each step a struggle. When we reached the ditch, we huddled together. I covered the kids with my body, praying the tornado would pass. The noise was deafening, like a thousand trains roaring. I could feel the ground shaking beneath us.
But in a couple of minutes, the tornado was over. The howling wind gradually died down, and the debris stopped flying. I slowly lifted my head and looked around. The world seemed a bit surreal. Trees were uprooted, and parts of the trailer were scattered. We climbed out of the ditch. The kids were shaken but unhurt. I felt a huge sense of relief wash over me. As we made our way back to the damaged trailer, I knew we were lucky to be alive. And I was proud of us for handling the terrifying situation so bravely.
