On the day the trnad hit, there was n indicatin severe weather was n its way—the sky was blue and the sun had been ut. The first alert my husband, Jimmy, 67, and I, 65, gt came arund 9 p．m., frm sme scrlling text n the TV Jimmy was watching.
N sner had we fund cverage f the trnad than it was n tp f us. The huse shk vilently, the pwer went ut, and even the wind began t rar thrugh the huse. We intended t shelter in the clset f the first flr, which seemed like the safest place, but befre getting there, we had t get thrugh three flights f steps. I didn't knw hw r if we wuld make it dwn the steps, as the wind lifted me ff my feet. I tried t mve frward a bit, but in vain.
As we finally reached the last flight f steps, ur frnt dr blew ut. Pieces f glass flew everywhere. Had we been ne step up, a three­ft­lng tree branch wuld have stabbed us.
By the time I reached the clset, the trnad had been ver us fr abut a minute. Jimmy pushed me dwn t the clset flr, but he culdn't get inside himself because f the wind. I grasped Jimmy's arm as the trnad sucked the dr pen—we never did get it fully shut—and tried t bring Jimmy with it. My knees and head were full f glass, but in that mment, I felt n pain. If I had let g, Jimmy wuld have flwn right ut the back f the huse and int the bay.
All f a sudden, Jimmy lifted ff his feet like peple in trnades d in the mvies. I thught he was gne. And then everything stpped. He landed n his feet. In thse first quiet mments, I culdn't believe it was ver.
The trnad lasted 4 minutes，but t us, it felt like a life time. Of the huses left standing, urs suffered the mst damage. Amazingly, nne f us were severely injured.

D．The cuple was t scared t mve fast.

Ⅱ.概要写作
[2022·浙江舟山中学模拟]阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Perhaps yu've heard the ld saying “curisity killed the cat”. It's a phrase that's ften used t warn peple—especially children—nt t ask t many questins. Yet it's widely agreed that curisity actually makes learning mre effective. In fact, research has shwn that curisity is just as imprtant as intelligence in determining hw well students d in schl.
Curisity can als lead us t make unexpected discveries, bring excitement t ur lives, and pen up new pssibilities. In science, basic curisity­driven research can have unexpected imprtant benefits. Fr example, ne day in 1831, Michael Faraday was playing arund with a cil and a magnet when he suddenly saw hw he culd prduce an electrical current. At first, it wasn't clear what use this wuld have, but it actually made electricity available fr use in technlgy, and s changed the wrld.
Hwever, curisity is currently under the biggest threat, cming frm technlgy. On ne level, this is because technlgy has becme s advanced that many f us are unable t think t deeply hw exactly things wrk any mre. While it may be pssible fr a curius teenager t take a taster apart and get sme sense f hw it wrks, hw much d yu understand what happens when yu type a website address int a brwser? Where des yur grasp f technlgy end and the magic begin fr yu?
In additin t this, there's the fact that we all nw cnnect s deeply with technlgy, particularly with ur phnes. The mre we stare at ur screens, the less we talk t ther peple directly. All t ften we accept the images f peple that the scial media prvide us with. Then we feel we knw enugh abut a persn nt t need t engage further with them.
That means we end up inside ur wn little bubbles, n lnger cming acrss new ideas. Perhaps the real key t develping curisity in the 21st century, then, is t rely less n the tech tls f ur age.
