六、阅读单选
Tuesday, Jan. 6,9:
We were sitting in our warm living room. The TV was on, and everything was peaceful. Suddenly the light went on and off for a few times and then went out completely. Then the rain started, and everything went black. We
found the flashlight and some candles and went to bed.
Wednesday, Jan. 7, 7:
My first thought after waking up was that it was pretty cold in my bedroom. Clearly, the power (电力供应) didn’t come back. After I looked out of the window, I felt even sadder: it was still raining heavily. The room was becoming colder and colder. We had no idea when the power would come back, so my wife started a fire in the fireplace.

The snow started. The poor trees now had to carry the heavy snow. The storm seemed to last (持续) and we had nothing to do but stay at home.
Friday, Jan. 9, 6:

The storm stopped this morning, and I drove my car to look for an open store. The trees along the roads were broken. I only bought the most necessary things: bread, some fruit, more drinking water and batteries (电池) for the flashlight. On my way home, the power came back and people were very happy.

参考答案：
1．suddenly
【详解】句意：据报道，在黑龙江省，一只野生老虎突然闯入一个村庄，伤害了一名村民。此处修饰动词，应用副词suddenly“突然”，故填suddenly。
2．was helping
【详解】句意：——你为什么不回复我的？——对不起。我正在帮助我的邻居照看她的孩子。根据“Why didn’t you reply to my Wechat?”可知，回答那时正在做什么，需要过去进行时，主语是I，be动词用was；故填was helping。
3．began
【详解】句意：当暴风雨来临时，开始下起了大雨，风刮得很厉害。and连接两个并列成分，由后面的blew 可知句子时态用一般过去时，begin的过去式为began。故填began。
4．were waiting ran
【详解】句意：我们在等公交车的时候，一个女孩跑向了我们。由语境可知：一个女孩跑向我们的时候，
我们正在干什么；所以while后的从句要用进行时态，故填were waiting；ran。
5．was shouting
【详解】句意：当我的父母正在打扫卫生的时候，我的妹妹正对着我大声喊叫。根据“While my parents were doing some cleaning, (shout) to me loudly.”可知，句中的时间状语从句由while来引导，为过去进行时，而主句“(shout) to me loudly”的谓语动词shout“喊叫”为延续性动词，所以此时主句也应用过去进行时，主句的主语是my sister，谓语结构应是was doing，而动词shout应用现在分词形式shouting。故填was shouting。
6．was doing
【详解】句意：昨天晚上九点你的弟弟正在做什么？根据“at nine o’clock last night”可知应用过去进行时，其谓语结构为“was/were+doing”，主语your brother为第三人称单数，be动词应用was，故填was；doing。7．heavily
【详解】句意：昨天那个时候雨下得很大。heavy“沉重的”，是形容词，此处应用副词修饰动词。故填he
avily。8．was playing was cooking
【详解】句意：当她妈妈做饭时，她正在玩电脑游戏。此处是while引导的时间状语从句，两个动作同时发生，根据时间状语at that time，可知用过去进行时，其结构是was/were doing的形式，主句主语是she，be
动词用was；play 是动词玩；现在分词是playing；play computer games“玩游戏”。从句主语是her mother，be动词用was，cook是动词做饭；现在分词是cooking。故填was playing；was cooking。
9．taking a shower
【详解】根据中英文对照可知，句子“at that time?”用过去进行时，主语是Grace，所以其谓语结构是was doing，而句子缺少“洗澡”，其英文表达为take a shower，句首有was，此时动词take应用现在分
词形式taking。故填taking；a；shower。
10．were doing但是你没有
【详解】根据中英文对照可知，疑问句“when the rainstorm came?”用过去进行时，主语
是people，谓语动词应用复数，所以其谓语结构是were doing，而此句缺少“正在做（什么）”，其英文表达为were doing。故填were；doing。
11．were busy looking
