Unit 5 What were you doing when the rainstorm came?
第一课时(分层作业)
基础达标
一、用所给单词的正确形式填空。
1．When I arrived at home, my mom (do) some cleaning while my dad was reading a
book.
【答案】was doing
【详解】句意：当我到家时，我妈妈正在打扫卫生，而我爸爸正在看书。根据“When I
arrived at home, my mom…some cleaning ”可知，指的是当我到家时，妈妈正在打扫卫生，
时态是过去进行时，其结构为：主语+was/were+doing。主语是my mom，be动词用was；
do的现在分词是doing。故填was doing。
2．The marriage is very (suddenly) because they have only known each other for a
month!
【答案】sudden
【详解】句意：这段婚姻非常突然，因为他们才认识一个月！空格前面的is是系动词，所
以要用形容词来作表语。suddenly的形容词形式是sudden。故填sudden。
3．He was reading in the library when the rainstorm (come).
【答案】came
【详解】句意：暴雨来临时，他正在图书馆看书。根据“He was reading in the library”可知
主句时态为过去进行时，从句谓语动词come为非延续性动词，所以从句时态用一般过去
时，动词come应用过去式，故填came。
4．It is raining h . You’d better not leave until it stops.
【答案】(h)eavily
【详解】句意：雨下得很大。你最好等雨停了再走。根据“It is raining…”可知，此处应该
填入副词heavily，修饰动词raining，表示雨下很大。故填(h)eavily。
5．Instructions are important. You’d better (begin) your DIY work without reading
them.
【答案】not begin
【详解】句意：说明书很重要。你最好不要在没有阅读说明书的情况下就开始你的DIY工
作。begin“开始”。根据“Instructions are important.”可知，最好不要在没有阅读说明书的
情况下就开始DIY工作，had better表示“最好”，had better not do sth“最好不要做某事”。
故填not begin。
二、完成句子
6．我的闹钟没有响，所以我醒晚了。
My alarm didn’t so I woke up late.
【答案】 go off
【详解】由汉语和所给的英语翻译可知，“没有响”译成：go off，助动词didn’t后跟动词原形。故填go；off。
7．昨天老师走进教室的时候，我们正在读书。
We when our teacher came into the classroom yesterday.
【答案】were reading books
【详解】根据中英文对照可知，此处缺少“正在读书”，read books“读书”，描述昨天老
师进来时我们正在做的事情，应用过去进行时，其结构为was/were+现在分词，We是主语，
be动词用were。故填were reading books。
8．雨点重重地击打着窗户。
The rain the windows .
【答案】 beat heavily/hard
【详解】根据语境可知，可以使用一般过去时或者现在进行时，即谓语动词用beat的过去
式（beat）或者is beating，结合一空一词，故用一般过去时；“重重地”修饰“敲打”，
故用副词，“heavily”和“hard”符合题意。故填beat；heavily/hard。
9．当我在做一道数学题的时候，我的脑海中闪过一个好的想法。
When I was a maths problem, a good idea went through my mind.
【答案】 working on
【详解】根据第一空前的“was”可知，句子时态为过去进行时，结构为was/were doing；
work on意为“从事于；忙于”；work on a maths problem意为“做一道数学题”。故填
working；on。
10．昨天下大雨，所以没什么事情可做。
It yesterday, so there was nothing much to do.
【答案】 rained heavily
【详解】结合中英文，所缺表达为“下大雨”。时间状语为yesterday，因此时态为过去时。
rain“下雨”，过去式即rained；副词heavily“大量地”修饰动词rained。故填rained；
heavily。

四、阅读理解
In summer, lightning storms（闪电风暴）often happen. Some of us don’t take them
seriously. In fact, they are very dangerous for people and they can even make people die at once.
So how do we keep safe during a rainstorm?
If you are indoors, stay away from windows and doors during a lightning storm. Don’t take a
shower or do any dishes, because lightning can travel through water. Turn off the TV and
computer. Never use the phone. Lightning can also travel through the phone line and hit you.
If you are outdoors during a lightning storm, never take shelter under a tree, because the
lightning can hit the tall tree and travel through the tree to hit you. You should stay away from
anything that is metal（金属）. Try to get into your car and close all the windows or go into abuilding at once. If there is no building around, try to find a low place to stay in.
16．What is this text mainly about?
A．How to take shelter. B．How to stay away from storms.
C．How to keep safe in storms. D．Something about lightning storms.
17．What can you do if you are indoors during a rainstorm?
A．Take a shower. B．Watch TV in the living room.

【导语】
本文主要介绍了在暴风雨中如何保障安全。
【详解】
16．主旨大意题。根据“So how do we keep safe during a rainstorm?”可知，文章主要介绍了
在暴风雨期间，我们该如何保障安全。故选C。
17．细节理解题。根据“If you are indoors, stay away from windows and doors during a
lightning storm.”可知，如果你在室内，在暴风雨期间远离门窗。故选D。
18．词句猜测题。根据“because the lightning can hit the tall tree and travel through the tree to
hit you”可知，因为闪电可能击中高大的树，并穿过树击中你。由此可知如果在室外，暴风
雨期间不要在树下躲避。故推断take shelter的意思是“躲避”。故选B。

a tree, because the lightning can hit the tall tree and travel through the tree to hit you”可知，如果
