五、完形填空
Carson was having dinner with his mother and sisters one evening. His younger sister asked, “
What
does it look like outside?” Everyone looked out of the window on the north side of the kitchen. They saw the sun in a blue sky. Then, they looked out of the window on the south side of the kitchen. They saw a dark sky
with
big, grey clouds. Next, they heard the tornado siren (龙卷风警报). That meant a tornado was coming. They all knew that during a tornado, the
safest
place to be is underground.
Luckily
, they had a basement (地下室). They all ran quickly into the basement. Suddenly, Carson remembered the pet cat, Pete. “Mum, we
forgot
Pete!” Carson yelled. “I will go upstairs and find him!”
But his mother said, “No, Carson! It's too dangerous. The tornado is coming, so you have to stay down here.” All at once they
heard
the very loud noise of a very strong wind. It was
so
loud that although (虽然) they were screaming (尖叫), they could not even hear their own screams. Everyone was very scared.
Just a few seconds later, it was
finished
. The tornado went away and everyone was safe. Carson ran upstairs and found that the house was
badly
damaged and Pete was gone. He began to cry and went outside. He saw that all the trees were knocked down except one. And at the top of the tree, there was Pete, looking at Carson and shaking
in
fear.
