On the day the tornado hit, there was no indication severe weather was on its way—the sky
was blue and the sun had been out. The first alert my husband, Jimmy, 67, and I, 65, got came
around 9 p．m., from some scrolling text on the TV Jimmy was watching.
No sooner had we found coverage of the tornado than it was on top of us. The house shook
violently, the power went out, and even the wind began to roar through the house. We intended to
shelter in the closet of the first floor, which seemed like the safest place, but before getting there,
we had to get through three flights of steps. I didn't know how or if we would make it down the
steps, as the wind lifted me off my feet. I tried to move forward a bit, but in vain.
As we finally reached the last flight of steps, our front door blew out. Pieces of glass flew
everywhere. Had we been one step up, a threefootlong tree branch would have stabbed us.
By the time I reached the closet, the tornado had been over us for about a minute. Jimmy
pushed me down to the closet floor, but he couldn't get inside himself because of the wind. I
grasped Jimmy's arm as the tornado sucked the door open—we never did get it fully shut—and
tried to bring Jimmy with it. My knees and head were full of glass, but in that moment, I felt no
pain. If I had let go, Jimmy would have flown right out the back of the house and into the bay.
All of a sudden, Jimmy lifted off his feet like people in tornadoes do in the movies. I thought
he was gone. And then everything stopped. He landed on his feet. In those first quiet moments, I
couldn't believe it was over.
The tornado lasted 4 minutes，but to us, it felt like a life time. Of the houses left standing,
ours suffered the most damage. Amazingly, none of us were severely injured.
4．Why didn't the couple realize the coming of the tornado?
A．There was no signs.
B．They didn't pay attention to the weather.
C．They were too busy to take notice of it.
D．We got a wrong alert about it from TV.
5．Which turned out to be the greatest difficulty for them in escaping from the disaster?
A．Their house was too high.
B．It was at night and the power went out.
C．The wind with the tornado was so strong that it lifted them up for several times.
D．The couple was too scared to move fast.
6．What can we learn from the passage?
A．The author was so severely injured that she felt no pain.
B．The couple loved each other deeply and the husband put his wife first.
C．They missed being stabbed by the long tree branch as they moved fast.
D．The author felt regretful for their damaged house.
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 you've heard the old saying “curiosity killed the cat”. It's a phrase that's often used
to warn people—especially children—not to ask too many questions. Yet it's widely agreed that
curiosity actually makes learning more effective. In fact, research has shown that curiosity is just
as important as intelligence in determining how well students do in school.
Curiosity can also lead us to make unexpected discoveries, bring excitement to our lives, and
open up new possibilities. In science, basic curiositydriven research can have unexpected
important benefits. For example, one day in 1831, Michael Faraday was playing around with a coil
and a magnet when he suddenly saw how he could produce an electrical current. At first, it wasn't
clear what use this would have, but it actually made electricity available for use in technology, and
so changed the world.
However, curiosity is currently under the biggest threat, coming from technology. On one
level, this is because technology has become so advanced that many of us are unable to think too
deeply how exactly things work any more. While it may be possible for a curious teenager to take
a toaster apart and get some sense of how it works, how much do you understand what happens
when you type a website address into a browser? Where does your grasp of technology end and
the magic begin for you?
In addition to this, there's the fact that we all now connect so deeply with technology,
particularly with our phones. The more we stare at our screens, the less we talk to other people
directly. All too often we accept the images of people that the social media provide us with. Then
we feel we know enough about a person not to need to engage further with them.
That means we end up inside our own little bubbles, no longer coming across new ideas.
Perhaps the real key to developing curiosity in the 21st century, then, is to rely less on the tech
tools of our age.
