本文是一篇记叙文，体现了“人与自然”的主题语境。本文主要讲述洪灾来袭,牙医和记者凯一起救下了一名女士，之后牙医又冷静地安置被困在他的诊所里的人们。
1. C 选项：harmed伤害；flattened推倒；entered进入；challenged挑战。由空后的“and they had to go upstairs”及常识可知，大雨滂沱，六个小时后，水“进入了(entered)”诊所，所以他们不得不去楼上。
2. A 选项：flood洪水；volcano火山；typhoon台风；drought干旱。由下文“Cars were slid by the flood”可知，他们惊讶地发现“洪水”造成了很多的损失，flood属于原词复现。
3. B 选项：delivered递送；destroyed毁灭；summarized总结；buried埋葬。由前文的“the 2 had caused much damage”和“Cars were slid by the flood”可知，在洪水中，车子被冲走且被“毁坏(destroyed)”了。
4. A 选项：tightly紧紧地；positively积极地；uniquely独一无二地；awkwardly尴尬地。上文提到洪水肆虐，又由本句“A woman was trapped in the open air, holding a tree 4 .”及常识可知，被困的女士“紧紧地(tightly)”抓住一棵树。
5. D 选项：flashed使闪耀；impressed使钦佩；attracted吸引；
struck突然想到，打。前文提到被困的女士正紧紧抓住一棵树，
看起来似乎吃了很多苦，又由空后的“she could swim to rescue the woman”可知，凯“突然想到(struck)”自己可以游泳去救该女士，
It strikes/struck sb that为固定结构，意为“某人突然想到……”。
6. B 选项：skied滑雪；rowed划船；jogged慢跑；hiked徒步旅

们拉出了一艘救生艇，凯跳上去，朝着女士的方向“划船(rowed)”。
7. D 选项：admirable值得赞赏的；slim苗条的；senior级别高的；powerful强有力的，强势的。由下文的“they could be swept away anytime”可知，他们被“强有力的(powerful)”浪撞击。
8. C 选项：lengths长，长度；ruins破坏，毁坏；efforts努力；recommendations推荐，建议。上文提到凯跳上救生艇朝着女士的方向划去，又由本句的“the woman was rescued”可知，多亏了他们的“努力(efforts)”，女士被拯救了。
9. A 选项：Witnessing目击；Comparing比较；Improving改进；Scheduling安排。由前文的“Looking out of the window”及空后的“the other patients felt relieved”可知，“目击(Witnessing)”了这个女士幸存下来，其他病人如释重负。
10. C 选项：commented评论；erupted爆发；returned回来；breathed呼吸。上文提到凯将被困女士救上了救生艇，又由本句的“The moment they 10 , the dentist grabbed the first aid kit…” 可知，他们一“回来(returned)”，牙医就马上拿急救箱。
11. C 选项：death死亡；percent百分之……；injury受伤；stress压力。由本句的“the dentist grabbed the first aid kit and treated the woman’s 11 effectively” 和常识可知，牙医马上拿了急救箱，有效地治疗了这名女士的“伤(injury)”。
12. D 选项：failure失败；cheat欺骗；hurricane飓风；disaster灾难。上文提到病人们都在诊所内躲避洪水，又由本句 “Not affected by the 12 , then the dentist arranged the limited supplies on hand.”可知，在没有被“灾难(disaster)”影响的情况下，牙医给大家分发了有限的储备物品。
13. B 选项：pipe管子；electricity电；brick砖；metal金属。由空后的“cut off”和常识可知，“电(electricity)”被切断了。
14. A 选项：moved感动；confused使困惑；excited使兴奋；frightened使惊恐。由本句“Kay reported the story. And people were 14 by the dentist’s wisdom and 15 calmness to solve the emergency.”可知，Kay报道了这个故事，而人们被牙医的智慧和“精神上的(mental)”冷静所“感动(moved)”。
15. B 选项：official官方的；mental思想的，精神上的；civil公民的；extra额外的。见上题解析。
