Ⅰ.阅读理解
　　Can you survive an unannounced storm？ Although there is expert broadcasting and we are equipped with cellphones， there are still some examples when the violent weather takes us by surprise.
　　While most Atlantic hurricanes form off the coast of Africa giving plenty of early warning， sudden Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico hurricanes form and move rapidly in less than a day’s time， endangering everyone and everything in their path.
　　There have been oil workers trapped off the coast when sudden storms appeared.Field archaeologists have been stuck in seaside areas without storm warnings.A few decades ago， a Texas National Guard group was trapped on the beach by rain-forced flooding and had to ride out a major hurricane during a training exercise.There’ve been a few cases where travelers were trapped on an island or in a seaside area and unable to escape in time.
　　Escaping from the storm-threatened areas is generally a choice for most of us — but not for all.Each year thousands of islanders across the Caribbean face the danger of hurricanes without a public shelter to hide in.Most ride out the storm in their homes.
　　But there’re a few things you can do to prepare yourself for some unexpected emergencies.Being prepared for the unexpected may be your best and only defense.If you’re headed outdoors for a few days or weeks， you should always carry a flashlight （手电筒） with extra batteries， a GPS device （装置）， and a basic medical box.If you’re traveling in your car， remember you may suffer from high winds.You’d better not stay inside to avoid being blown away along with your car.Keeping your head and your courage up is crucial to survival in any type of danger.Let common sense guide you and always be prepared for the worst.
1.What can we know about most Atlantic hurricanes from the text？（　　）
A.They form in the Caribbean Sea. B.They come from Gulf of Mexico.
C.They are from the Pacific Ocean. D.They develop off the coast of Africa.
2.What is the third paragraph mainly about？（　　）
A.The bad situations of oil workers. B.People trapped by sudden storms.
C.The danger of traveling on an island. D.The Texas National Guard group.
3.What is the purpose of the last paragraph？（　　）
A.To give some advice.
B.To encourage traveling.
C.To underline the danger of hurricanes.
D.To give some warnings.
4.In which part of a website would you most probably find the text？（　　）
A.Food.　　　　　 B.Sports.
C.Life. D.Culture.
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
　　While today’s roads are safer than ever before， accidents still happen.5.（　　） This practice involves anticipating potential risks and driving in a way that keeps you safe and secure based on road conditions.Here are some specific tips that could help you.
　　Observe， anticipate and plan.
　　Defensive driving is all about being observant， anticipating problems and planning ahead.So， what can you see？ What does that mean to you？ And what will you do about it to stay safe？ 6.（　　） This means you can anticipate that there might be a garbage truck around the next corner， so you should slow down on the bend just in case.
　　Be cautious about turn signals.
　　Just because the car in front of you is indicating left doesn’t mean it will actually turn that way.7.（　　） Wait and see what the driver does rather than presuming （推测） he or she realizes that the turn signals are on.Don’t do anything until you know for sure.
　　Create a safety bubble.
　　8.（　　） In this way， you will have room to maneuver （移动车辆） when others make mistakes.Always remember that however hard you are concentrating on the road， the person coming toward you might be messing with their phone or just generally distracted.You can never be sure they’ll do the right thing.
　　9.（　　）
　　If the person behind you is driving erratically （摇晃不定地） or too close， when it’s safe to do so， pull over and let him or her pass.Driving is not a race.It’s best to play it safe and avoid putting yourself in a dangerous position.
A.If in doubt， pull over.
B.Look in your mirrors frequently.
C.Keep a close eye on the road ahead.
D.For example， you might notice some garbage cans are out on the street.
E.Keep as much space around your car as possible when you’re on the road.
F.One of the best ways to stay safe on roads is by practicing defensive driving.
G.Unless you can physically see the vehicle turning， that action hasn’t been confirmed.

Ⅳ.读后续写
　　阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
　　Steven James Squeak was a student in Lincoln Elementary School.When Squeak entered the fifth grade， he was already a wizard （奇才） at riding a skateboard （滑板）.He also kept his grades up， proving he was really a great role model for other students.
　　Squeak loved skateboarding， but he wanted to give something new a try.After seeing a video of some amazing surfers on the Internet， he knew what challenge he wanted to take on next.
　　“Surfing is perfect for me，” he told his parents one evening， while trying to get them to pay for lessons.“Besides， it’s just like skateboarding！”
　　Squeak’s parents agreed to pay for some surfing lessons for their son.They invited a man named Troy Mason to teach him.Troy had been in international competitions when he was young and was rather famous in the surfing world.
　　Squeak soon found out that surfing was quite different from skateboarding.After forty-five minutes of his first lesson with Troy， he failed to balance himself on his new surfboard for more than a second or two.While on top of the surfboard， unlike the pavement （路面） under his skateboard that never moved， the water never stopped moving， causing him to fall time and time again.
　　“You’ll get it， kid，” Troy said to him， trying to encourage Squeak.“Don’t worry about it.You just need to keep coming out here into the water with me to practice， the same as what you did with your skateboard.”
　　Squeak thanked Troy and showed up for each of his lessons.Throughout his fourth lesson with Troy， Squeak was finally making some progress.He could stand on the board and direct it a little bit to the left and a little bit to the right.
　　“Keep up the good work！” said Troy.“Let’s head back to the beach.”
　　Troy turned around and swam in the direction of the beach.Squeak wanted to keep on surfing and try staying on his board a little longer.Suddenly， he heard someone yelling “Help！ Help！” Squeak saw a man struggling in the water， and that there was no one else nearby.The lifeguard （救生员） must have just switched spots.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是飓风给人们带来的危害，同时提供了一些应对突发情况的建议。
1.D　细节理解题。根据第二段中While most Atlantic hurricanes form off the coast of Africa giving plenty of early warning可知，大部分的大西洋飓风是在非洲沿岸形成的。
2.B　段落大意题。根据第三段中oil workers、Field archeologists、a Texas National Guard group和travelers可知，本段主要讲述的是被突如其来的飓风所困的人。
3.A　目的意图题。根据最后一段首句But there’re a few things you can do to prepare yourself for some unexpected emergencies.以及下文提供的建议可知，本段的目的是给出一些应对预料之外的紧急情况的建议。
4.C　文章出处题。根据首段并结合下文中介绍的飓风给人们带来的危害，同时提供了一些应对突发情况的建议可知，本文最有可能出现在网站的“生命；生活”部分。
Ⅱ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章提出了几点关于防御性驾驶的建议。
5.F　设空处前一句说明虽然如今的道路比以往任何时候都更安全，但事故仍在发生；设空处后一句提到这种做法涉及预测潜在风险以及根据路况安全驾驶。设空处后一句的This practice指代F项中的defensive driving。
6.D　上文指出防御性驾驶就是要作出观察、预测和计划。下文说明这就意味着你能预见到下一个拐角处可能会有一辆垃圾车，所以你应该在弯道减速，以防万一。D项对上文进行举例说明，其中的garbage cans与下文中的a garbage truck相呼应。
7.G　设空处前一句说明即便你前面的车开启了左转向灯，也不意味着它真的会左转。设空处后一句指出：观望一下前车的驾驶员会怎么做，而不是假定这位驾驶员知道自己开启了转向灯。G项中的turning与小标题中的turn signals以及下文中的turn signals相呼应。
8.E　下文指出：这样一来，当别人犯错时，你就有回旋的余地。E项中的Keep as much space around your car as possible 与设空处后一句中的have room to maneuver相呼应。
9.A　通读设空处下面一段可知，如果你后车的驾驶员开车摇晃不定或者离得太近，在安全的情况下靠边停车，为其让路。开车不是比赛，安全最重要。因此，A项概括了本段主旨，适合作小标题，其中的pull over与下文中的pull over构成原词复现。
Ⅲ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。一位男士在接受脑部手术后，意外获得了从未有过的艺术才能。
10.A　根据上句的he spent more than a month in a coma可知，Hunter昏迷了一个多月；结合本句中的recovered much more quickly than expected可知，Hunter接受脑部手术后醒了过来，并恢复得比预期快得多。
11.D　根据语境可知，空前的it指代上文中Hunter恢复得很快这件事，结合文章首句中的a serious brain disease和a month in a coma可知，能在重病后恢复得这么快是一个奇迹。
12.B　根据空前的he soon amazed his friends and family以及下句中的had a talent for drawing， painting， and model building和“being rubbish” at art in school可知，Hunter上学时并不擅长艺术，因此他是突然拥有绘画和模型制作等才能的；而进行艺术类活动是在创作，因此是他所展示出的创造力令他的朋友和家人大为惊讶。第五段中Hunter所说which never existed in me before也是提示。
13.A　参见上题解析。
14.C　根据语境可知，后半句中的it指代all of my stuff，即Hunter创作出的作品；结合上文中他突然拥有艺术才能可知，他看着自己创作出来的东西时，都不知道自己是怎么做到的。
15.D　最后一段中的I’m just doing what my doctor told me to do and trying to enjoy it提示本空选择enjoy，属于原词复现。
16.C　根据空后的this is just a phenomenon及下句可知，医生表示，有很多关于大脑的事情他们仍然无法了解。
17.D　根据后半句his mother immediately asked， “When did you learn how to 　18　？”和下段中I haven’t stopped since then.可知，此处介绍的是Hunter所画的第一幅图。
18.B　上半句中的drew提示本空选draw，属于原词复现。
19.A　根据上段中母亲的提问可知，Hunter的画令母亲感到惊讶。由此推断，此处是Hunter对自己突然具备绘画才能的事实感到不可思议。故选crazy。
20.C　根据上句I haven’t stopped since then.可知，空后的I had this passion which never existed in me before是Hunter所发现的事情。
21.D　根据空后的work for himself as a carpenter可知，Hunter利用的是他的艺术才能；结合上文内容可知，他的艺术才能是手术后意外得到的，即新获得的，故选new。下段首句中的new也是提示。
22.A　根据空前的work for himself as a carpenter和下句The father-of-one has since sold pieces of his artwork.可知，Hunter开始制作并出售他最喜欢的超级英雄和电影角色的模型。
23.C　根据下句中Hunter所说I’m just doing what my doctor told me to do and trying to enjoy it并结合文章内容可知，Hunter术后重生并获得了新才能，而他决定好好利用和享受这一才能。
24.B　参见上题解析。
Ⅳ.
　　Squeak concentrated as hard as he could and hopped （跳） on his board.He took a wave right over to the man who called for help.It was the longest time Squeak had spent balancing on his surfboard yet！ Squeak got over to him in a moment and put his arm under the man’s. They used his board to float to the beach where a crowd had gathered.Finally， the lifeguard saw what was happening and jumped in to help， too.
　　Troy was waiting along with a crowd of people.As soon as Squeak and the man he’d helped got back to the beach， he ran up to Squeak.“Troy！” Squeak said excitedly.“Did you see me？ I surfed！ I really surfed！” Troy nodded happily and hugged him.He’d seen Squeak help the man， and felt proud of him.“Squeak， you are a hero！” He said aloud.He was even surprised that Squeak could surf！From then on， Squeak was known more for his surfing than his skateboarding.

The Last Days of Pompeii
　　 （Excerpt）
　　Edward Bulwer-Lytton （1803－1873） was a talented British writer who left his mark on① the English language.[1]His classic novel The Last Days of Pompeii imagines life in the ancient Roman② city of Pompeii in the year 79③， when Mount Vesuvius erupted④.[2]This terrible natural disaster destroyed Pompeii completely， but it also kept the ancient city as it was for future ages.Since 1748， Pompeii has been systematically⑤ unearthed⑥.Today it is an international tourist destination⑦.
　　[1]句中when引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词the year 79，when在从句中作时间状语。
　　[2]句中as引导方式状语从句，as后的it指代前面的 the ancient city； as it was 意为“按照原来的样子”。
　　Pompeii was a typical Roman city.In its little shops， its tiny palaces， its forum⑧， its wine bars⑨， its theatre—in the energy and skill⑩ of its people， you saw a model of the whole Roman Empire.[3]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 .The boats of the fishermen moved rapidly in all directions .Above all ， the cloud-capped top of Mount Vesuvius appeared.[4] Its ashy rocks， now dark， now light， told a story of past eruptions that might have warned the city what was to come！
　　[3]along with连接并列主语Trading ships和golden pleasure boats，谓语是were crowded together，与前面的主语Trading ships保持数的一致；动词-ing形式短语bringing imports to the city or carrying exports overseas作后置定语，修饰Trading ships。
　　[4]now dark， now light作伴随状语； that引导定语从句，修饰先行词a story； what was to come 作 warned 的宾语，其中be to do结构表示将来；might have done 表示“过去本可以做但实际并没有做”。
　　[5]The awful night rolled slowly away， and the dawn greyly broke on THE LAST DAY OF POMPEII！ [6]The crowd looked upwards， and saw， with unspeakable fear， a huge cloud shooting from the top of the volcano.It took the form of a huge tree： the trunk， blackness， the branches， fire！ This fire moved and changed in colour with every moment： now it was wildly bright， now of a pale and dying red， and now again it burnt with an unbearable light！
　　[5]字母全部大写，起强调作用；同时与文章标题相呼应，突出悲剧式的主题，给读者以视觉上的震撼。
[6]and连接两个并列谓语looked和saw； saw ...a huge cloud shooting ...是“感官动词＋宾语＋宾语补足语”结构；介词短语with unspeakable fear在此处作状语。　　
The cries of women broke out ； the men looked at each other， but were silent.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！[7]Over the empty streets—over the forum—far and wide —with many a noisy crash in the stormy sea—fell that awful shower！
　　[7]本句是完全倒装句。该句最重要的信息 fell that awful shower以主句形式出现在最后，次要的信息出现在句首， 通常，这样的句式称为“圆周句”或者“掉尾句”。这种句式可以营造一种悬念，抓住读者的注意力， 随着句子一步步展开， 一层层深入， 在末尾形成高潮， 有力地表达了重要的信息。
　　Each turned to fly—each running， pressing， pushing against the other.If， in the darkness， wife was separated from husband， or parent from child， there was no hope of their meeting again.Each hurried blindly and fearfully on.[8]So came the earthquake ...and so ended life in Pompeii.
　　Nearly seventeen centuries had rolled away before the city of Pompeii was dug from its silent resting place.[9] Its walls were fresh as if painted yesterday； not a single colour changed on the rich pattern of its floors.In its forum， the half-finished columns seemed as if just left by the workman’s hand.[10]Long after fire and ash came for the people of Pompeii， the remains of their beautiful city survive to remind us that human lives burn bright and short .
　　[8]本句是and连接的并列句，两个分句都是完全倒装句。
　　[9]as if引导方式状语从句，as if painted yesterday为状语从句的省略，完整的句子应该是as if they were painted yesterday。
　　[10]Long after引导时间状语从句；主句是主谓结构，其中to remind us ...是动词不定式短语作结果状语，后面that human lives ...中的that引导的是宾语从句。

【参考译文】
庞贝城的末日
（节选）
　　爱德华·布尔沃-利顿（1803－1873）是一位才华横溢的英国作家，对英语语言产生了深远的影响。在其经典小说《庞贝城的末日》中，他对公元79年维苏威火山爆发时，古罗马城市庞贝的生活场景展开了想象。这场骇人天灾将庞贝城彻底摧毁，却又为后世保存了这座古城的原貌。从1748年起，庞贝城开始得到系统发掘，如今这里已成为国际旅游胜地。
　　庞贝是一座典型的罗马城市。从它的一个个小商铺，一座座小殿宇、广场、酒馆、剧场中——从庞贝人的活力和技艺中，你能看到整个古罗马帝国的缩影。进口货物到城内、出口货物到海外的商船，以及富贵人家金灿灿的游船，齐聚在港口波光粼粼的水面上。条条渔船向着四面八方疾行。在这一切的上方，云雾笼罩的维苏威火山山顶若隐若现。火山岩忽明忽暗，讲述着过去火山几度喷发的故事，这本来可以警告这座城市里的人们，灾难即将降临！
　　可怕的夜晚缓缓退去，晦暗的晨光开启了庞贝城的末日！人们抬头仰望，眼前景象让他们感到莫名恐惧，只见一团庞大的云正从火山口喷薄而出。它的形状像一棵大树：树干呈黑色，树枝是烈火！火焰翻腾着，颜色变幻不定，时而极明亮，时而又变得微弱，呈现熄灭之前的暗红，时而又烧起来，放出刺眼的强光！
　　女人们开始尖叫，男人们面面相觑，却都一言不发。那一刻，他们感到大地在脚下晃动，他们听到远处屋顶坍塌的巨响。过了片刻，山上的云团似乎正向他们滚滚而来，阴沉迅猛，如汹涌的江水，与此同时，云团中抛洒下阵阵雨似的火山灰和大块大块燃烧着的石头。可怕的熔岩雨砸下来了，落在空荡荡的街道上、广场上，到处都是，落在波涛汹涌的大海里，发出阵阵巨响！
　　所有人都赶忙飞奔——他们奔跑，拥挤，你推我搡。黑暗中，一旦妻离子散，就绝不可能重逢了。每个人都惊慌失措地盲目奔逃。这时，地震来了……庞贝城的生活就此终结。
　　时间流过了近十七个世纪，庞贝城终于从它寂静的长眠之地被发掘出来。它的墙壁依然新得像昨天刚刚刷完；地板上繁复的图案，一点都没有褪色。广场上，那些尚未完工的石柱看起来就像刚刚离开工匠之手。在大火和火山灰吞噬庞贝城的人们很久很久之后，他们美丽城市的遗迹幸存下来，提醒我们人类的生命灿烂而短暂。

句型公式：状语从句的省略
【教材原句】　Its walls were fresh as if painted yesterday ...
它的墙壁依然新得像昨天刚刚刷完……
【用法】
句中as if引导方式状语从句，as if 后省略了they were。 （1）as if/though引导的从句中的主语和主句主语一致，且含有be动词时，从句中的主语和be动词常常可以省略。 （2）引导状语从句时，可以省略从句中的主语和be动词的连词还有while、 once、 as、 when、 unless、 until、 even if、 though、 if等。
【品悟】　Then she was just staring at me as if （she was） trying to figure me out.

　　Pompeii was a typical Roman city.In its little shops， its tiny
palaces， its forum⑧， its wine bars⑨， its theatre—in the energy and
skill⑩ of its people， you saw a model of the whole Roman
Empire.[3]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 .The boats of the
fishermen moved rapidly in all directions .Above all ， the cloud-
capped top of Mount Vesuvius appeared.[4] Its ashy rocks， now
dark， now light， told a story of past eruptions that might have warned
the city what was to come！
　　[3]along with连接并列主语Trading ships和golden pleasure boats，
谓语是were crowded together，与前面的主语Trading ships保持数的一
致；动词-ing形式短语bringing imports to the city or carrying exports
overseas作后置定语，修饰Trading ships。
　　[4]now dark， now light作伴随状语； that引导定语从句，修饰
先行词a story； what was to come 作 warned 的宾语，其中be to do结
构表示将来；might have done 表示“过去本可以做但实际并没有
做”。

upwards， and saw， with unspeakable fear， a huge cloud shooting from
the top of the volcano.It took the form of a huge tree： the trunk，
blackness， the branches， fire！ This fire moved and changed in colour
with every moment： now it was wildly bright， now of a pale and dying
red， and now again it burnt with an unbearable light！
　　[5]字母全部大写，起强调作用；同时与文章标题相呼应，突出
悲剧式的主题，给读者以视觉上的震撼。
　　[6]and连接两个并列谓语looked和saw； saw ...a huge cloud
shooting ...是“感官动词＋宾语＋宾语补足语”结构；介词短语

　　The cries of women broke out ； the men looked at each other，

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！[7]Over the empty streets—over
the forum—far and wide —with many a noisy crash in the stormy sea—
fell that awful shower！
　　[7]本句是完全倒装句。该句最重要的信息 fell that awful shower
以主句形式出现在最后，次要的信息出现在句首， 通常，这样的句
式称为“圆周句”或者“掉尾句”。这种句式可以营造一种悬念，
抓住读者的注意力， 随着句子一步步展开， 一层层深入， 在末尾形
成高潮， 有力地表达了重要的信息。
break out 突然开始，爆发
beyond adv.在（或向）较远处；在另一边 prep.在（或向）更远
处；超出；晚于；无法；超出……之外
distance n.遥远，久远；距离；差异；疏远

other.If， in the darkness， wife was separated from husband， or
parent from child， there was no hope of their meeting again.Each hurried
blindly and fearfully on.[8]So came the earthquake ...and so ended life
in Pompeii.
　　[8]本句是and连接的并列句，两个分句都是完全倒装句。
　
be separated from 与……分离
　be divided into 被分成……
　　Nearly seventeen centuries had rolled away before the city of Pompeii
was dug from its silent resting place.[9] Its walls were fresh as if painted
yesterday； not a single colour changed on the rich pattern of its
floors.In its forum， the half-finished columns seemed as if just left by
the workman’s hand.[10]Long after fire and ash came for the people of
Pompeii， the remains of their beautiful city survive to remind us that
human lives burn bright and short .
　　[9]as if引导方式状语从句，as if painted yesterday为状语从句的
省略，完整的句子应该是as if they were painted yesterday。
　　[10]Long after引导时间状语从句；主句是主谓结构，其中to
remind us ...是动词不定式短语作结果状语，后面that human
lives ...中的that引导的是宾语从句。
pattern n.图案，花样；模式；范例；模型
column n.柱，圆柱；柱状物；栏；专栏；队，列
remains n.遗址，遗迹；剩余物
lives burn bright and short 生命灿烂而短暂
【参考译文】
庞贝城的末日
（节选）
　　爱德华·布尔沃-利顿（1803－1873）是一位才华横溢的英国作
家，对英语语言产生了深远的影响。在其经典小说《庞贝城的末日》
中，他对公元79年维苏威火山爆发时，古罗马城市庞贝的生活场景展
开了想象。这场骇人天灾将庞贝城彻底摧毁，却又为后世保存了这座
古城的原貌。从1748年起，庞贝城开始得到系统发掘，如今这里已成
为国际旅游胜地。
　　庞贝是一座典型的罗马城市。从它的一个个小商铺，一座座小殿
宇、广场、酒馆、剧场中——从庞贝人的活力和技艺中，你能看到整
个古罗马帝国的缩影。进口货物到城内、出口货物到海外的商船，以
及富贵人家金灿灿的游船，齐聚在港口波光粼粼的水面上。条条渔船
向着四面八方疾行。在这一切的上方，云雾笼罩的维苏威火山山顶若
隐若现。火山岩忽明忽暗，讲述着过去火山几度喷发的故事，这本来
可以警告这座城市里的人们，灾难即将降临！
　　可怕的夜晚缓缓退去，晦暗的晨光开启了庞贝城的末日！人们抬
头仰望，眼前景象让他们感到莫名恐惧，只见一团庞大的云正从火山
口喷薄而出。它的形状像一棵大树：树干呈黑色，树枝是烈火！火焰
翻腾着，颜色变幻不定，时而极明亮，时而又变得微弱，呈现熄灭之
前的暗红，时而又烧起来，放出刺眼的强光！
　　女人们开始尖叫，男人们面面相觑，却都一言不发。那一刻，他
们感到大地在脚下晃动，他们听到远处屋顶坍塌的巨响。过了片刻，
山上的云团似乎正向他们滚滚而来，阴沉迅猛，如汹涌的江水，与此
同时，云团中抛洒下阵阵雨似的火山灰和大块大块燃烧着的石头。可
怕的熔岩雨砸下来了，落在空荡荡的街道上、广场上，到处都是，落
在波涛汹涌的大海里，发出阵阵巨响！
　　所有人都赶忙飞奔——他们奔跑，拥挤，你推我搡。黑暗中，一
旦妻离子散，就绝不可能重逢了。每个人都惊慌失措地盲目奔逃。这
时，地震来了……庞贝城的生活就此终结。
　　时间流过了近十七个世纪，庞贝城终于从它寂静的长眠之地被发
掘出来。它的墙壁依然新得像昨天刚刚刷完；地板上繁复的图案，一
点都没有褪色。广场上，那些尚未完工的石柱看起来就像刚刚离开工
匠之手。在大火和火山灰吞噬庞贝城的人们很久很久之后，他们美丽
城市的遗迹幸存下来，提醒我们人类的生命灿烂而短暂。

关、语气一致的短语、句子或段落成串地排列在一起的修辞
手法。
如课文第一段中的

将六
个its结构连用，起到强调作用，意指庞贝古城在方方面面都
有古罗马帝国的影子。
In its little shops， its tiny palaces， its
forum， its wine bars， its theatre—in the energy and skill of its
people， you saw a model of the whole Roman Empire.　
（2）暗喻：暗喻也称隐喻，是直接将A事物当作B事物描写，A事
物和B事物之间的联系或相似之处是暗含的。不用like、as等
比喻词。
如课文第二段中的


采用了暗喻的修辞手法，
将喷发中的火山比作一棵巨大的树。
The crowd looked upwards， and saw，
with unspeakable fear， a huge cloud shooting from the top of
the volcano.It took the form of a huge tree：the trunk，
blackness， the branches， fire！　
（3）明喻：通常用比喻词对两种具有共同特征的事物或现象进行
比较，表明本体和喻体的相似关系。常用的比喻词有like、
as、as if等。
如课文第三段中的

采用了明喻的修辞手法，将火山喷发时爆发出的
滚滚浓烟比作汹涌的江水，使读者能够身临其境地感受到火
山喷发时的恐怖场面。
A moment later， the mountain-cloud
seemed to roll towards them， dark and rapid， like a
river ...

past eruptions that might have warned the city what was to come！
火山岩忽明忽暗，讲述着过去火山几度喷发的故事，这本来可以警告
这座城市里的人们，灾难即将降临！

（4）表示“想；打算”，相当于intend或want。
（5）用于if或even if/though引导的从句中，表示对未来的假设。

production of the world.

句型公式：状语从句的省略
【教材原句】　Its walls were fresh as if painted yesterday ...它的墙壁
依然新得像昨天刚刚刷完……
【用法】
句中as if引导方式状语从句，as if 后省略了they were。
（1）as if/though引导的从句中的主语和主句主语一致，且含有be动
词时，从句中的主语和be动词常常可以省略。
（2）引导状语从句时，可以省略从句中的主语和be动词的连词还有
while、 once、 as、 when、 unless、 until、 even if、 though、 if等。
【品悟】　Then she was just staring at me as if （she was） trying to
figure me out.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
　　Can you survive an unannounced storm？ Although there is expert
broadcasting and we are equipped with cellphones， there are still some
examples when the violent weather takes us by surprise.
　　While most Atlantic hurricanes form off the coast of Africa giving
plenty of early warning， sudden Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico
hurricanes form and move rapidly in less than a day’s time，
endangering everyone and everything in their path.
　　There have been oil workers trapped off the coast when sudden storms
appeared.Field archaeologists have been stuck in seaside areas without
storm warnings.A few decades ago， a Texas National Guard group was
trapped on the beach by rain-forced flooding and had to ride out a major
hurricane during a training exercise.There’ve been a few cases where
travelers were trapped on an island or in a seaside area and unable to
escape in time.
　　Escaping from the storm-threatened areas is generally a choice for
most of us — but not for all.Each year thousands of islanders across the
Caribbean face the danger of hurricanes without a public shelter to hide
in.Most ride out the storm in their homes.
　　But there’re a few things you can do to prepare yourself for some
unexpected emergencies.Being prepared for the unexpected may be your
best and only defense.If you’re headed outdoors for a few days or
weeks， you should always carry a flashlight （手电筒） with extra
batteries， a GPS device （装置） ， and a basic medical box.If you’re
traveling in your car， remember you may suffer from high winds.You’d
better not stay inside to avoid being blown away along with your
car.Keeping your head and your courage up is crucial to survival in any
type of danger.Let common sense guide you and always be prepared for
the worst.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
　　While today’s roads are safer than ever before， accidents still
happen.5.（　　） This practice involves anticipating potential risks and
driving in a way that keeps you safe and secure based on road
conditions.Here are some specific tips that could help you.
　　Observe， anticipate and plan.
　　Defensive driving is all about being observant， anticipating
problems and planning ahead.So， what can you see？ What does that
mean to you？ And what will you do about it to stay safe？ 6.（　　）
This means you can anticipate that there might be a garbage truck around
the next corner， so you should slow down on the bend just in case.
　　Be cautious about turn signals.
　　Just because the car in front of you is indicating left doesn’t mean it
will actually turn that way.7.（　　） Wait and see what the driver does
rather than presuming （推测） he or she realizes that the turn signals are
on.Don’t do anything until you know for sure.
　　Create a safety bubble.
　　8. （　　） In this way， you will have room to maneuver （移动
车辆） when others make mistakes.Always remember that however hard
you are concentrating on the road， the person coming toward you might
be messing with their phone or just generally distracted.You can never be
sure they’ll do the right thing.
　　9. （　　）
　If the person behind you is driving erratically （摇晃不定地） or too
close， when it’s safe to do so， pull over and let him or her
pass.Driving is not a race.It’s best to play it safe and avoid putting
yourself in a dangerous position.
A. If in doubt， pull over.
B. Look in your mirrors frequently.
C. Keep a close eye on the road ahead.
D. For example， you might notice some garbage cans are out on the
street.
E. Keep as much space around your car as possible when you’re on the
road.
F. One of the best ways to stay safe on roads is by practicing defensive
driving.
G. Unless you can physically see the vehicle turning， that action hasn’t
been confirmed.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章提出了几点关于防御性驾驶的
建议。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章提出了几点关于防御性驾驶的
建议。
5. F　设空处前一句说明虽然如今的道路比以往任何时候都更安全，
但事故仍在发生；设空处后一句提到这种做法涉及预测潜在风险以及
根据路况安全驾驶。设空处后一句的This practice指代F项中的
defensive driving。
6. D　上文指出防御性驾驶就是要作出观察、预测和计划。下文说明
这就意味着你能预见到下一个拐角处可能会有一辆垃圾车，所以你应
该在弯道减速，以防万一。D项对上文进行举例说明，其中的garbage
cans与下文中的a garbage truck相呼应。
7. G　设空处前一句说明即便你前面的车开启了左转向灯，也不意味
着它真的会左转。设空处后一句指出：观望一下前车的驾驶员会怎么
做，而不是假定这位驾驶员知道自己开启了转向灯。G项中的turning
与小标题中的turn signals以及下文中的turn signals相呼应。
8. E　下文指出：这样一来，当别人犯错时，你就有回旋的余地。E
项中的Keep as much space around your car as possible 与设空处后一句
中的have room to maneuver相呼应。
9. A　通读设空处下面一段可知，如果你后车的驾驶员开车摇晃不定
或者离得太近，在安全的情况下靠边停车，为其让路。开车不是比
赛，安全最重要。因此，A项概括了本段主旨，适合作小标题，其中
的pull over与下文中的pull over构成原词复现。
Ⅲ.完形填空
　　Moe Hunter was struck down by a serious brain disease many years
ago， and he spent more than a month in a coma （昏迷）.He 　10　
brain surgery and recovered much more quickly than expected： “My
doctor said it was a 　11　.”
　　Not only that， he soon amazed his friends and family with
the 　12　 he showed.The 38-year-old 　13　 had a talent for drawing，
painting， and model building — despite “being rubbish” at art in
school.
　　Hunter said， “ When I 　14　 all of my stuff， I had no idea how
it had happened.When I spoke to the doctor， he just said ‘ 　15　
it， ’ and said there’s so much about the brain they still can’t 　16　
and this is just a phenomenon （现象）.Nobody has really given a
medical explanation for it.”
　　The 　17　 thing he drew was a character in a video game， and his
mother immediately asked， “When did you learn how to 　18　？”
　　“It was 　19　.I haven’t stopped since then.I just 　20　 I had
this passion which never existed in me before，” Hunter said.
　　He used his 　21　 skills to work for himself as a carpenter （木工）
and began 　22　 models of his favourite superheroes and film
characters.The father-of-one has since sold pieces of his artwork.
　　“After being given this second chance at life and a new 　23　， I
wanted to 　24　 it， and it was nice.I’m just doing what my doctor
told me to do and trying to enjoy it，” said Hunter.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。一位男士在接受脑部手术后，意外
获得了从未有过的艺术才能。
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。一位男士在接受脑部手术后，意外
获得了从未有过的艺术才能。
10. A. awoke from B. counted on
C. gave up D. prepared for
解析：　根据上句的he spent more than a month in a coma可知，
Hunter昏迷了一个多月；结合本句中的recovered much more
quickly than expected可知，Hunter接受脑部手术后醒了过来，并
恢复得比预期快得多。
11. A. miss B. warning
C. mistake D. wonder
解析：　根据语境可知，空前的it指代上文中Hunter恢复得很快
这件事，结合文章首句中的a serious brain disease和a month in a
coma可知，能在重病后恢复得这么快是一个奇迹。
12. A. generosity B. creativity
C. curiosity D. honesty
解析：　根据空前的he soon amazed his friends and family以及下
句中的had a talent for drawing， painting， and model building和
“being rubbish” at art in school可知，Hunter上学时并不擅长艺
术，因此他是突然拥有绘画和模型制作等才能的；而进行艺术类
活动是在创作，因此是他所展示出的创造力令他的朋友和家人大
为惊讶。第五段中Hunter所说which never existed in me before也是
提示。
13. A. suddenly B. probably
C. finally D. nearly
解析：　参见上题解析。
14. A. tried out B. handed in
C. looked at D. took over
解析：　根据语境可知，后半句中的it指代all of my stuff，即
Hunter创作出的作品；结合上文中他突然拥有艺术才能可知，他
看着自己创作出来的东西时，都不知道自己是怎么做到的。
15. A. forget B. stop C. prove D. enjoy

Ⅳ.读后续写
　　阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构
成一篇完整的短文。
　　Steven James Squeak was a student in Lincoln Elementary
School.When Squeak entered the fifth grade， he was already a wizard
（奇才） at riding a skateboard （滑板）.He also kept his grades up，
proving he was really a great role model for other students.
　　Squeak loved skateboarding， but he wanted to give something new a
try.After seeing a video of some amazing surfers on the Internet， he
knew what challenge he wanted to take on next.
　　“Surfing is perfect for me，” he told his parents one evening，
while trying to get them to pay for lessons.“Besides， it’s just like
skateboarding！”
　　Squeak’s parents agreed to pay for some surfing lessons for their
son.They invited a man named Troy Mason to teach him.Troy had been in
international competitions when he was young and was rather famous in
the surfing world.
　　Squeak soon found out that surfing was quite different from
skateboarding.After forty-five minutes of his first lesson with Troy， he
failed to balance himself on his new surfboard for more than a second or
two.While on top of the surfboard， unlike the pavement （路面） under
his skateboard that never moved， the water never stopped moving，
causing him to fall time and time again.
　　“You’ll get it， kid，” Troy said to him， trying to encourage
Squeak.“Don’t worry about it.You just need to keep coming out here
into the water with me to practice， the same as what you did with your
skateboard.”
　　Squeak thanked Troy and showed up for each of his lessons.
Throughout his fourth lesson with Troy， Squeak was finally making some progress.He could stand on the board and direct it a little bit to the left and a little bit to the right.
　　“Keep up the good work！” said Troy.“Let’s head back to the
beach.”
　　Troy turned around and swam in the direction of the beach.Squeak
wanted to keep on surfing and try staying on his board a little longer.
Suddenly， he heard someone yelling “Help！ Help！” Squeak saw a man struggling in the water， and that there was no one else nearby.The lifeguard （救生员） must have just switched spots.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Squeak concentrated as hard as he could and hopped （跳） on his
board.

　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　Troy was waiting along with a crowd of people.
　　　　　 　　　　　　 　　　　　　 　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　 　 　
　　 　　
　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　 　 　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　 　 　
参考范文：
　　Squeak concentrated as hard as he could and hopped （跳） on his
board.He took a wave right over to the man who called for help.It was the
longest time Squeak had spent balancing on his surfboard yet！ Squeak got
over to him in a moment and put his arm under the man’s. They used his
board to float to the beach where a crowd had gathered.Finally， the
lifeguard saw what was happening and jumped in to help， too.
Troy was waiting along with a crowd of people.As soon as Squeak
and the man he’d helped got back to the beach， he ran up to
Squeak.“Troy！” Squeak said excitedly.“Did you see me？ I
surfed！ I really surfed！” Troy nodded happily and hugged him.He’d
seen Squeak help the man， and felt proud of him.“Squeak， you are a
hero！” He said aloud.He was even surprised that Squeak could surf！
From then on， Squeak was known more for his surfing than his
skateboarding.
