Crew members of China’s Shenzhou XIII mission are scheduled to give a live lecture on Thursday afternoon from the orbiting Tiangong space station to students around the world, the China Manned Space Agency said on Monday.
The three taikonauts—Major General Zhai Zhigang, Senior Colonel Wang Yaping and Senior Colonel Ye Guangfu will show viewers how they live and work inside the space station and will then carry out experiments to display interesting physical phenomena in space such as “disappearing buoyancy” and a “water ball”. They will also answer viewers’ questions at the end of the livestreamed event, the agency said.
The activity is intended to spread knowledge about manned spaceflights and ignite enthusiasm for science among young people. The taikonauts “sincerely invite young viewers to conduct similar experiments along with them to observe the physical disparities between space and land environments to experience the fun of exploration”, the agency said.
The agency said last week that the, lecture “will mark the launch of the Tiangong Class , China’s first extraterrestrial lecture series to popularize space science”. It added that such lectures will be based on the country’s manned spaceflights and will be presented by taikonauts. Featuring interactive teaching, the activities will be mainly targeted at youngsters as the students on the ground were able to communicate with the three taikonauts in real time during the class.
The Shenzhou XIII mission was launched on Oct 16 by a Long March 2F carrier rocket that blasted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern China’s Gobi Desert, with the crew soon entering the Tiangong station. They are scheduled to spend six months working in the station, making it China’s longest manned space mission.
The agency said that as a national space-based laboratory, Tiangong is also tasked with promoting and propagating science and technology knowledge. The orbiting outpost has abundant, unique educational resources and boasts advantages when it comes to encouraging the public, especially young people to embrace science and space exploration, it said.
24. How many parts does the lecture include?
A. 1. B. 2. C. 3. D. 4.
25. What does the underlined word “disparities” in Paragraph3 mean?
A. inequalities. B. differences. C. complications. D. phenomena.
26. What’s the biggest characteristic of the lecture?
A. Hands-on. B. Student-oriented. C. Experiment-focused. D. Interactive.
27. Which can be inferred from the text?
A. Tiangong can become a long-term classroom in space.
B. All the space-based experiments can be done on earth.
C. The Shenzhou XIII manned space mission is China’s longest.
D. The lecture is designed to spark youths’ enthusiasm for science.

Have you ever noticed that some people can eat what they want and stay in shape, while others carefully watch what they eat and still put on weight? How frustrating! However, scientists are beginning to believe that some people get the ability to stay thin from their parents.
Scientists say that when some people eat, their bodies will naturally store the excess energy from food as fat. These people gain weight if they eat more than they need each day. Meanwhile, other people eat more than they need but their bodies are able to “burn off ” the extra food without making fat, so they rarely have weight problems.
To show that this is true, scientists have experimented on laboratory mice. They gave the mice a special diet with a lot of fat. Some mice gained weight while the other mice stayed thin, even though both groups of mice ate the same amount of food and got the same amount of exercise. Scientists concluded that weight gain seemed to be influenced by genetic factors. They also believe they have now identified the genes that may cause this tendency. These genes, according to the scientists, get passed down the generations. Armed with this knowledge, they believe it may be possible to develop medicines that can target the genes and stop people from gaining weight.
The study of weight gain is becoming more important as the number of people who are overweight continues to grow. In the United States, over seventy percent of the population have weight problems. This means they are at risk of illness such as high blood pressure and heart disease.
Current medicines for weight control do not work very well because they can have serious side effects, such as heart problems. However, it takes a long time to develop and thoroughly test new drugs. Therefore, despite this breakthrough in the study of weight-loss drugs, scientists and health professionals all agree that currently the best way to control weight gain is to have a healthy, balanced diet and an active lifestyle with daily exercise. This will not only help people avoid becoming overweight, but also help them stay healthy and energetic.
28. According to the scientists, why do some people gain weight easily?
A. Because their genes cause the tendency.
B. Because their bodies do not make fat.
C. Because their bodies store energy from food as fat.
D. Because they eat more than they need each day.
29. What do we know about the experiment?
A. They did the experiment to find the gene that stop people from gaining weight.
B. They did the experiment to find the reason why people gain weight.
C. They did the experiment to show the importance of healthy food.
D. They did the experiment to show the importance of regular exercise.
30. What may lead to high blood pressure according to the study?
A. The balanced diet. B. The weight problems.
C. The lack of exercise. D. The lack of drugs.
31. What is the purpose of the last paragraph of the text?
A. To inform us of serious side effects of the weight-loss drugs.
B. To introduce a breakthrough of the weight-loss drugs.
C. To advise us to develop a healthy lifestyle.
D. To encourage us to develop and test new drugs.
D
Think back to when you were in a maths classroom, and the teacher set a difficult problem. Which of the two following responses is closer to the way you reacted?
A: Oh no, this is too hard for me. I’m not even going to seriously try and work it out.
B: Ah, this is quite tricky, but I like to push myself. Even if I don’t get the answer right, maybe I’ll learn something in the attempt.
Early in her career, the psychologist Carol Dweck of Stanford University gave a group of ten-year-olds problems that were slightly too hard for them. One group reacted positively and loved the challenge. She says they had a ‘growth mindset’ and are focused on what they can achieve in the future. But another group of children felt that their intelligence was being judged and they had failed. They had a ‘fixed mindset’ and were unable to imagine improving. Some of them looked for someone who had done worse than them to boost their self-esteem.
Professor Dweck believes that there is a problem in education at the moment. For years, children have been praised for their intelligence or talent, but this makes them
vulnerable(脆弱的) to failure. They become performance-oriented, wanting to please by getting high grades, but they are not interested in learning for its own sake. The solution, according to Dweck, is to lead them to become mastery-oriented (i.e., interested in getting better at something). She claims that the ever-lasting effort over time is the key to outstanding achievement.
Psychologists have been testing these theories. Underperforming school children on a Native American reservation were exposed to growth mindset techniques for a year. The results were nothing less than incredible. They came top in regional tests, beating children from much more privileged backgrounds. These children had previously felt that making an effort was a sign of stupidity, but they came to see it as the key to learning.
32. What can we learn about a person if his answer is closer to “B”?
A. He is performance-oriented.
B. He tends to set limits to his life.
C. He enjoys the process and focuses on the future.
D. He boosts his self-esteem by comparing with others.
33. Which of the following suggestions will Professor Dweck give to parents and teachers?
A. To reward children for their high grades. B. To emphasize the importance of intelligence.
C. To ignore the result brought by failure. D. To praise children for their engagement in the process.
34. What does “These children” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Children showing no interest in learning.
B. Children who use fixed mindset techniques.
C. Children from much more privileged backgrounds.
D. Underperforming school children on a Native American reservation.
35. Why does the author write the text?
A. To distinguish growth mindset and fixed mindset.
B. To inform readers of the importance of growth mindset.
C. To show several psychological study results.
D. To point out a problem in education at the moment.

From her lifeguard station at the end of the pool, Jessica noticed clouds forming in the sky. By the time she took a break at 2:30, the wind was picking up and the sky was darkening. The pool manager announced over the loudspeaker that the pool was closing immediately, due to a weather warning. He asked everyone to head to the safety of home before the storm hit.
All of the swimmers had left by 3: 30 except for Jessica's neighbor, eight-year-old Zack Hill. Zack's mother had dropped him off at the pool while she went to work. She had planned to pick him up later, but the storm was coming fast. Jessica decided that she would drop Zack off on her way home. She taped a note for Mrs. Hill on the door of the pool office and headed out.
The minute Jessica and Zack left the parking lot, it was clear that this was no ordinary storm. The wind was very strong, the storm clouds were dark, and the sky had turned a terrible green. The rain hit just as Jessica turned onto her street, Jessica said, “Jack, I'm going to take you to my house. We need to get inside right away, and your house is farther away than mine.”
She pressed the garage-door opener, but nothing happened. The electricity was out. The front door was only a few feet away, but the wind was so strong that Jessica and Zack had to fight their way out of the car and into the house. Jessica held Zack's hand firmly. The door was heavy with the pressure of the wind. Finally, it opened, but it was blown out of Jessica's hand and it hit the side of the house. The window broke into pieces，Jessica picked up Zack and threw the two of them inside; her only thought was to get to a safe place.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150词左右；

【答案】CBAC
【解析】M: One of Britain’s most famous modern writers is Harold Pinter. Born in 1930, Pinter wrote 29 plays for the theatre and 27 screenplays for the cinema, as well as many radio and television plays. One of his best-known plays is The Birthday Party. The Birthday Party, the first full-length play Pinter wrote, had its world premiere at the Arts Theatre, in Cambridge, England, on the 28th of April, 1958. Although the play was initially well received, when it opened in London a few weeks later on the 19th of May, it was a commercial and critical failure, closing after only eight performances. However, a few days later, one of the country’s most famous critics wrote extremely positively about the play in a Sunday newspaper, helping to make it one of the most famous plays ever.
The Birthday Party is about Stanley Webber, a piano player in his 30s, who lives in an English seaside town, not too far from London Two strangers, Goldberg and McCann, arrive on his birthday, turning his birthday party into a nightmare. Harold Pinter presented a special anniversary performance of the play at London’s Lyric Theatre on the 19th of May, 2008, exactly 50 years after its London premiere. Pinter died later the same year on the 24th of December.

Have you ever noticed that some people can eat what they want and stay in shape, while others carefully watch what they eat and still put on weight? How frustrating! However, scientists are beginning to believe that some people get the ability to stay thin from their parents.
Scientists say that when some people eat, their bodies will naturally store the excess energy from food as fat. These people gain weight if they eat more than they need each day. Meanwhile, other people eat more than they need but their bodies are able to “burn off ” the extra food without making fat, so they rarely have weight problems.
To show that this is true, scientists have experimented on laboratory mice. They gave the mice a special diet with a lot of fat. Some mice gained weight while the other mice stayed thin, even though both groups of mice ate the same amount of food and got the same amount of exercise. Scientists concluded that weight gain seemed to be influenced by genetic factors. They also believe they have now identified the genes that may cause this tendency. These genes, according to the scientists, get passed down the generations. Armed with this knowledge, they believe it may be possible to develop medicines that can target the genes and stop people from gaining weight.
The study of weight gain is becoming more important as the number of people who are overweight continues to grow. In the United States, over seventy percent of the population have weight problems. This means they are at risk of illness such as high blood pressure and
heart disease.
Current medicines for weight control do not work very well because they can have serious side effects, such as heart problems. However, it takes a long time to develop and thoroughly test new drugs. Therefore, despite this breakthrough in the study of weight-loss drugs, scientists and health professionals all agree that currently the best way to control weight gain is to have a healthy, balanced diet and an active lifestyle with daily exercise. This will not only help people avoid becoming overweight, but also help them stay healthy and energetic.
28. According to the scientists, why do some people gain weight easily?
A. Because their genes cause the tendency.
B. Because their bodies do not make fat.
C. Because their bodies store energy from food as fat.
D. Because they eat more than they need each day.
29. What do we know about the experiment?
A. They did the experiment to find the gene that stop people from gaining weight.
B. They did the experiment to find the reason why people gain weight.
C. They did the experiment to show the importance of healthy food.
D. They did the experiment to show the importance of regular exercise.
30. What may lead to high blood pressure according to the study?
A. The balanced diet. B. The weight problems.
C. The lack of exercise. D. The lack of drugs.
31. What is the purpose of the last paragraph of the text?
A. To inform us of serious side effects of the weight-loss drugs.
B. To introduce a breakthrough of the weight-loss drugs.
C. To advise us to develop a healthy lifestyle.
D. To encourage us to develop and test new drugs.
【答案】 AB BC
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要研究人们增长体重的原因并建议我们养成健康的生活方式。
28. 细节理解题。根据第三段“Scientists concluded that weight gain seemed to be influenced by genetic factors. They also believe they have now identified the genes that may cause this tendency.   (科学家得出结论，体重增加似乎受到遗传因素的影响。他们还认为，他们现在已经确定了可能导致这种趋势的基因)”可知，体重增加是受到了遗传因素的影响。故推知有些人容易增加体重是因为他们的基因造成这种趋势。故选A。
29. 推理判断题。根据第二段“Scientists say that when some people eat, their bodies will naturally store the excess energy from food as fat. These people gain weight if they eat more than they need each day. Meanwhile, other people eat more than they need but their bodies are able to “burn off ” the extra food without making fat, so they rarely have weight problems. (科学家说，当有些人进食时，他们的身体会自然地将食物中多余的能量储存为脂肪。如果这些人每天吃得比他们需要的多，他们就会增加体重。与此同时，其他人吃得比他们需要的多，但他们的身体能够在不产生脂肪的情况下燃烧掉多余的食物，所以他们很少出现体重问题。)”及第三段“To show that this is true, scientists have experimented on laboratory mice. (为了证明这是真的，科学家们在实验室小鼠身上进行了实验。)”可知，科学家为了寻找人们增加体重的原因，证明自己的判断是正确的，做了这个实验。故选B。
30. 细节理解题。根据第四段“In the United States, over seventy percent of the population have weight problems. This means they are at risk of illness such as high blood pressure and heart disease. (在美国，超过百分之七十的人口有体重问题。这意味着他们有患高血压和心脏病等疾病的风险)”可知，体重问题会导致高血压。故选B。
31. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Therefore, despite this breakthrough in the study of weight-loss drugs, scientists and health professionals all agree that currently the best way to control weight gain is to have a healthy, balanced diet and an active lifestyle with daily exercise. This will not only help people avoid becoming overweight, but also help them stay healthy and energetic. (因此，尽管减肥药物的研究取得了突破，但科学家和卫生专业人员都同意目前控制体重增加的最佳方法是拥有健康，均衡的饮食和积极的生活方式和日常锻炼。这不仅可以帮助人们避免超重，还可以帮助他们保持健康和精力充沛)”可知，科学家们认为均衡的饮食和积极的生活方式和日常锻炼是保持健康的最佳方式。由此推知，最后一段的目的是建议我们养成健康的生活方式。故选C。
D
Think back to when you were in a maths classroom, and the teacher set a difficult problem. Which of the two following responses is closer to the way you reacted?
A: Oh no, this is too hard for me. I’m not even going to seriously try and work it out.
B: Ah, this is quite tricky, but I like to push myself. Even if I don’t get the answer right, maybe I’ll learn something in the attempt.
Early in her career, the psychologist Carol Dweck of Stanford University gave a group of ten-year-olds problems that were slightly too hard for them. One group reacted positively and loved the challenge. She says they had a ‘growth mindset’ and are focused on what they can achieve in the future. But another group of children felt that their intelligence was being judged and they had failed. They had a ‘fixed mindset’ and were unable to imagine improving. Some of them looked for someone who had done worse than them to boost their self-esteem.
Professor Dweck believes that there is a problem in education at the moment. For years, children have been praised for their intelligence or talent, but this makes them vulnerable(脆弱的) to failure. They become performance-oriented, wanting to please by getting high grades, but they are not interested in learning for its own sake. The solution, according to Dweck, is to lead them to become mastery-oriented (i.e., interested in getting better at something). She claims that the ever-lasting effort over time is the key to outstanding achievement.
Psychologists have been testing these theories. Underperforming school children on a Native American reservation were exposed to growth mindset techniques for a year. The results were nothing less than incredible. They came top in regional tests, beating children from much more privileged backgrounds. These children had previously felt that making an effort was a sign of stupidity, but they came to see it as the key to learning.
32. What can we learn about a person if his answer is closer to “B”?
A. He is performance-oriented.
B. He tends to set limits to his life.
C. He enjoys the process and focuses on the future.
D. He boosts his self-esteem by comparing with others.
33. Which of the following suggestions will Professor Dweck give to parents and teachers?
A. To reward children for their high grades. B. To emphasize the importance of intelligence.
C. To ignore the result brought by failure. D. To praise children for their engagement in the process.
34. What does “These children” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Children showing no interest in learning.
B. Children who use fixed mindset techniques.
C. Children from much more privileged backgrounds.
D. Underperforming school children on a Native American reservation.
35. Why does the author write the text?
A. To distinguish growth mindset and fixed mindset.
B. To inform readers of the importance of growth mindset.
C. To show several psychological study results.
D. To point out a problem in education at the moment.
【答案】 C DD A
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过举例“对同一个问题的不同反应”来引出主题——成长心态和固定心态。引用了心理学家们的理论和实验结果来对成长心态和固定心态进行区别，并且侧重了成长心态的重要性。
32. 推理判断题。根据第三段“B: Ah, this is quite tricky, but I like to push myself. Even if I don’t get the answer right, maybe I’ll learn something in the attempt.(B:啊，这有点棘手，但是我喜欢逼一下自己。即使我没有得到正确的答案，也许我会在尝试中学到一些东西。)”可知，B答案的同学会积极地面对问题，并且尝试从中学习到一些东西，这是一种积极的反应；结合第四段“Early in her career, the psychologist Carol Dweck of Stanford University gave a group of ten-year-olds problems that were slightly too hard for them. One group reacted positively and loved the challenge. She says they had a ‘growth mindset’ and are focused on what they can achieve in the future. (斯坦福大学(Stanford University)的心理学家卡罗尔·德韦克(Carol Dweck)在她职业生涯的早期给一组10岁的孩子提出了一些对他们来说稍微太难的问题。其中一组反应积极，喜欢这项挑战。她说，他们有一种“成长心态”，专注于未来能取得的成就。)”可知，对于困难的问题能做出积极反应的孩子会享受这个过程，关注未来。所以一个人的答案接近B答案的话，那么他会享受这个过程，关注未来。故选C。
33. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Professor Dweck believes that there is a problem in education at the moment. For years, children have been praised for their intelligence or talent, but this makes them vulnerable(脆弱的) to failure. The solution, according to Dweck, is to
lead them to become mastery-oriented (i.e., interested in getting better at something). She claims that the ever-lasting effort over time is the key to outstanding achievement.(德韦克教授认为，目前的教育存在问题。多年来，孩子们一直因他们的智力或天赋而受到赞扬，但这使他们很容易失败。他们变得以表现为导向，想通过取得高分来取悦他人，但他们对学习本身不感兴趣。根据Dweck的说法，解决方法是引导他们成为以掌握为导向的人(也就是说，有兴趣在某件事上做得更好)。她认为，长期不懈的努力是取得卓越成就的关键。)”可知，Dweck教授认为掌握一件事是非常重要的，并且要长期坚持不懈地努力，由此可推知，她给到父母和老师的建议是表扬孩子们在这个过程中的参与。故选D。
34. 指代猜测题。根据最后一段“Psychologists have been testing these theories. Underperforming school children on a Native American reservation were exposed to growth mindset techniques for a year. The results were nothing less than incredible. They came top in regional tests, beating children from much more privileged backgrounds. These children had previously felt that making an effort was a sign of stupidity, but they came to see it as the key to learning.(心理学家一直在测试这些理论。在美国印第安人保留地，表现不佳的学生接触了一年的成长心态技术。结果简直令人难以置信。他们在地区测试中名列前茅，击败了那些拥有更多特权背景的孩子。这些孩子以前觉得努力是愚蠢的标志，但他们逐渐把努力看成是学习的关键。)”可知，他们测试的对象是这些underperforming school children on a Native American reservation(美国印第安人保留地的表现不佳的学生)，由此可知此处的these children指的是“美国印第安人保留地的表现不佳的学生”，故选D。
35. 推理判断题。根据第一段“Think back to when you were in a maths classroom, and the teacher set a difficult problem. Which of the two following responses is closer to the way you reacted?(回想一下你在数学课上，老师出了一道难题。下面两种反应哪一种更接近你的反应?)”可知作者以这个问题和两种回答引出本文的主旨，既第四段提到的“She says they had a ‘growth mindset’ and are focused on what they can achieve in the future. But another group of children felt that their intelligence was being judged and they had failed. They had a ‘fixed mindset’ and were unable to imagine improving.
(她说，他们有一种“成长心态”，专注于未来能取得的成就。但另一组孩子觉得他们的智力被评判了，他们失败了。他们有一个“固定的心态”，无法想象改善。)”所体现的成长心态和固定心态。并且后文还通过心理学家们所做的实验及其结果来证明两者之间的区别和影响，由此可知，作者写这篇文章是想要说明“成长心态和固定心态”的区别，故选A。

【解析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是北京奥运会的场馆，尤其是首钢滑雪大跳台场馆。
56.
考查形容词。句意：当冬奥会与中国农历新年相遇时，北京让每个人都在中国愉快地体验了中国文化。空格处用形容词作宾语补足语，enjoy的形容词形式是enjoyable，故填enjoyable。
57. 考查时态。句意：作为世界上首个“双奥之城”，北京在克服新冠肺炎疫情带来的困难的同时，高度重视各方面细节，全力支持奥运会安全顺利举办。根据语境可知，句子描述过去的事情，时态用一般过去时，空格处用过去式paid。故填paid。
58. 考查名词。句意：作为世界上首个“双奥之城”，北京在克服新冠肺炎疫情带来的困难的同时，高度重视各方面细节，全力支持奥运会安全顺利举办。smooth是形容词，修饰名词，根据语境可知，句子表示“北京高度重视各方面细节，全力支持奥运会安全顺利举办”，空格处意为“运行”，名词是operation，表“运行”时，operation是不可数名词，故填operation。
59. 考查介词。句意：北京冬奥会期间出色的场馆服务赢得了运动员们的掌声和称赞。由“its excellent venue (场地) services during the Games”可知，句子表示“因为出色的场馆服务，北京受到了称赞”，空格处表示“因为”，用介词for，故填for。
60. 考查定语从句。句意：其中最棒的场馆之一是首钢滑雪大跳台场馆，见证了18岁的中国自由式滑雪运动员谷爱凌，也被称为Eileen Gu的史诗般的胜利。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导的是定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词“Big Air Shougang Olympic venue”是物，因此空格处用关系代词that/which，故填that/which。
61. 考查过去分词。句意：其中最棒的场馆之一是首钢滑雪大跳台场馆，见证了18岁的中国自由式滑雪运动员谷爱凌，也被称为Eileen Gu的史诗般的胜利。分析句子结构可知，定语从句中谓语是witnessed，空格处用非谓语形式，由固定短语“be known as(被称为)”可知，此处省略be，用过去分词作后置定语，故填known。
62. 考查副词。句意：谷爱凌高度评价了这个比赛场地，与此同时，所有的运动员都说首钢滑雪大跳台是他们所去过的最好的比赛场地。空格处用副词highly修饰动词spoke，speak highly of是固定短语，意为“高度评价”，故填highly。
63. 考查连词。句意：谷爱凌高度评价了这个比赛场地，与此同时，所有的运动员都说首钢滑雪大跳台是他们所去过的最好的比赛场地。空后的“all other athletes said the Shougang Big Air was the best of its kind that they had set foot on”和前面的“spoke__7__ (high) of this competition venue”是并列关系，因此用and，也可用while表示“与此同时”，故填and/while。
64. 考查时态语态。句意：这个跳台的设计理念于甘肃敦煌的传统绘画。develop from从……发展而来，不及物动词短语，因此用主动语态，句子可理解为描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，也可理解为发生在过去，时态用一般过去时，主语“The design concept
of this platform”是单数，故填develops/developed。
65. 考查不定式。句意：首钢滑雪大跳台是北京市中心唯一的雪赛场馆，对于大跳台运动员来说，在冷却塔的背景下跳跃是最酷的事情。句中it是形式宾语，空格处用不定式作真正的宾语，故填to jump。

【答案】
Dear Sir or Madame,
I'm Li Hua, a high school student. Having heard that your team is recruiting Chinese volunteers, I'm writing to apply to be a member to help in the community.
First of all, apart from my mother tongue --- Chinese, growing up in China makes me very familiar with the conditions of the local community and I have a strong affection for it. More importantly, I am always concerned about the environmental problems and dying to appeal to the public to protect it. Last but not least, considered as a confident and outgoing boy, I am sure that, through my introduction and efforts, I can raise the public awareness of protecting the environment.
I would appreciate it if you could take my application into consideration.
Yours,
Li Hua

From her lifeguard station at the end of the pool, Jessica noticed clouds forming in the sky. By the time she took a break at 2:30, the wind was picking up and the sky was darkening. The pool manager announced over the loudspeaker that the pool was closing immediately, due to a weather warning. He asked everyone to head to the safety of home before the storm hit.
All of the swimmers had left by 3: 30 except for Jessica's neighbor, eight-year-old Zack Hill. Zack's mother had dropped him off at the pool while she went to work. She had planned to pick him up later, but the storm was coming fast. Jessica decided that she would drop Zack off on her way home. She taped a note for Mrs. Hill on the door of the pool office and headed out.
The minute Jessica and Zack left the parking lot, it was clear that this was no ordinary storm. The wind was very strong, the storm clouds were dark, and the sky had turned a terrible green. The rain hit just as Jessica turned onto her street, Jessica said, “Jack, I'm going to take you to my house. We need to get inside right away, and your house is farther away than mine.”
She pressed the garage-door opener, but nothing happened. The electricity was out. The front door was only a few feet away, but the wind was so strong that Jessica and Zack had to fight their way out of the car and into the house. Jessica held Zack's hand firmly. The door was heavy with the pressure of the wind. Finally, it opened, but it was blown out of Jessica's hand and it hit the side of the house. The window broke into pieces，Jessica picked up Zack and threw the two of them inside; her only thought was to get to a safe place.

【答案】
Paragraph 1.
Remembering everything she could learn from her emergency training, Jessica took Zack to the basement. It was completely dark inside due to lack of electricity. They felt their way in the darkness. Suddenly, Jessica bumped into an armchair and she placed Zack in it. “We'll be safe here.” she said, trying to sound calm. At times, they could hear the sound of glass breaking and the furniture being thrown against the walls by the howling wind. Jessica could feel Zack trembling hard in terror.
Paragraph 2.
After a final crash, the sound of the storm grew distant. Jessica breathed a sigh of relief. When they were back into the house, they saw the room in a total mess. Glass pieces and broken furniture were everywhere. It was not long before Mrs Hill arrived. Needless to say, she was very thankful for what Jessica did. Without Jessica, she could hardly imagine what would have happened to Zack. After giving each other a big hug, Jessica and Zack waved goodbye. What a story they would have to tell!
