You would see mountains and valleys if you looked at the Moon

used to survey land. He invented a device that used a horse and buckets to raise water. This was
used for irrigation (灌溉).
Galileo thought about the world in a new way. Before Galileo, people did not run
experiments or 70 their ideas. It was enough just to think about ideas. Galileo wanted to

D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) (共12分)
Just after 4:00 PM, Addy heard a strange noise. The lights in the museum flickered (闪烁)
and then went out. Outside, the sidewalks were crowded, and buses were full. People were
shouting, “Blackout! The power is out!”
“Oh no,” said Addy’s mom. “The subway won’t work.”
“How will we get back to Brooklyn by 5:30 for my audition (试镜)?” Addy cried.
Her mom held her hand, and they started walking in the hot August air. She pulled out her
phone. “No service,” she sighed. “I hope your sister isn’t stuck underground. Zelda’s normally
headed home by now,” Addy’s mom said, looking concerned.
By 5:00, Addy’s feet hurt from walking, but what bothered (使不安) her more was the worry
in her head.
Addy and her mom searched for an empty taxi. After six blocks, they finally got one. Just
then, Addy saw an elderly man waving his cane (手杖). Although she was eager to get home,
Addy suggested giving the man their taxi.
As they kept walking, a man outside a pizza shop gave them free slices. Addy looked at her
mom curiously. “No power means no refrigeration, microwaves, or ovens. If this blackout isn’t
fixed, a lot of food will go bad.” Suddenly Addy’s headache got worse.
“I’m sure your audition wasn’t canceled,” Addy’s mom said when she saw Addy’s worried
face. Addy’s feet hurt so much that she couldn’t even imagine dancing. Her head hurt too, but it
wasn’t what her mom thought.
Addy took a bite of her pizza. She didn’t realize she was hungry. How long would the
8blackout last? Would her family run out of food? What about everyone else?
They reached the Brooklyn Bridge at sunset. They were almost home.
That night, Addy’s family climbed the steps to the roof. This was something they did often,
but tonight was special. They saw stars they had never noticed before shining over the bridge. It
looked almost magical, like a bridge to a castle. They saw a long line of people still crossing,
slowly heading home. Addy danced in the darkness under the stars, happy to be home sweet home.
78. Addy was on the street when the power went out, wasn’t she?
________,________________________________________________________
79. What was Addy worried about at the beginning of the story?
_________________________________________________________________
80. What act of kindness did Addy show in the story?
_________________________________________________________________
81. What does “this” in the last paragraph refer to?

82. What made Addy’s family notice the stars that night?

83. Did Addy still care about her audition in the end? Why?
