[课文译文]
风暴过后现繁星
很奇怪，我真的记不得很多关于飓风的事了。这一切都发生得太快了。我正坐在我的房间里，我的猫斯玛蒂趴在我大腿上，突然房顶被刮飞了。霎时间，原来的房顶变成了天空。我吓呆了。
妈妈大喊着让我们快跑，但为时已晚。大雨倾盆而下。瞬间就将街道淹没成河。我们无处可逃。
起初，我还庆幸我们能待在家里，但很快情况变得极其糟糕。没有屋顶，待在里面太危险了。到处是水，但是我们不能喝一滴，否则我们真的会生病。我们只能喝直升机送来的饮用水，但这些水远远不够。正值八月份，天气真的很热很热，到处散发着难闻的气味！我只能整天看着街道上来来往往的船只，并努力寻找着斯玛蒂。暴风雨袭来的那一刻，它就失踪了。
由于住在户外，我们成了蚊子的一日三餐。但妈妈说无论发生什么，我们都应该尽力看到事情好的一面。但是，保持积极乐观很难。我们失去了我们的家和里面所有的东西，包括斯玛蒂。我们只剩下身上的衣服了。不过，妈妈一直在提醒我们，我们一家人还安全地在一起。妈妈的话让我们感觉好多了。我记得我们全家躺在午夜的苍穹之下，仰望星空。因为没有灯，我能看得见北斗七星、小北斗七星和银河。这太神奇了！尽管我们失去了不少东西，那些时刻却给了我们走向未来的希望。
虽然没有几天我们就得救了，但是我们觉得好像过了几个月一样。我们被带到一个遥远的县的另一个城镇。谢天谢地，斯玛蒂也及时赶到了家。我们都很高兴能带上他，尽管当时我们都不知道我们要很久才能回来。
现在，一年过去了，我回到了新奥尔良的家中。有些家庭还没有回来，但许多其他家庭已经回来了。虽然我们周围的一切都提醒着我们这里曾发生的灾难，但大家都在为重建我们的家园和生活而一同努力着。现在我们又有机会仰望新奥尔良的星星了。它们的美激励着我们，给我们继续前进的信心。

[课文译文]
风暴过后现繁星
很奇怪，我真的记不得很多关于飓风的事了。这一切都发生得太快了。我正坐在我的房间里，我的猫斯玛蒂趴在我大腿上，突然房顶被刮飞了。霎时间，原来的房顶变成了天空。我吓呆了。
妈妈大喊着让我们快跑，但为时已晚。大雨倾盆而下。瞬间就将街道淹没成河。我们无处可逃。
起初，我还庆幸我们能待在家里，但很快情况变得极其糟糕。没有屋顶，待在里面太危险了。到处是水，但是我们不能喝一滴，否则我们真的会生病。我们只能喝直升机送来的饮用水，但这些水远远不够。正值八月份，天气真的很热很热，到处散发着难闻的气味！我只能整天看着街道上来来往往的船只，并努力寻找着斯玛蒂。暴风雨袭来的那一刻，它就失踪了。
由于住在户外，我们成了蚊子的一日三餐。但妈妈说无论发生什么，我们都应该尽力看到事情好的一面。但是，保持积极乐观很难。我们失去了我们的家和里面所有的东西，包括斯玛蒂。我们只剩下身上的衣服了。不过，妈妈一直在提醒我们，我们一家人还安全地在一起。妈妈的话让我们感觉好多了。我记得我们全家躺在午夜的苍穹之下，仰望星空。因为没有灯，我能看得见北斗七星、小北斗七星和银河。这太神奇了！尽管我们失去了不少东西，那些时刻却给了我们走向未来的希望。
虽然没有几天我们就得救了，但是我们觉得好像过了几个月一样。我们被带到一个遥远的县的另一个城镇。谢天谢地，斯玛蒂也及时赶到了家。我们都很高兴能带上他，尽管当时我们都不知道我们要很久才能回来。
现在，一年过去了，我回到了新奥尔良的家中。有些家庭还没有回来，但许多其他家庭已经回来了。虽然我们周围的一切都提醒着我们这里曾发生的灾难，但大家都在为重建我们的家园和生活而一同努力着。现在我们又有机会仰望新奥尔良的星星了。它们的美激励着我们，给我们继续前进的信心。

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是海啸这种自然灾害。
1．答案：G
解析：关联逻辑法解题。空前说“A terrible tsunami disaster happened on December 26, 2004.”，空后说“It is said that it might not be the worst”，因此空格处应该说这次海啸所导致的严重后果。G选项“那天，一场巨大的海啸横扫印度洋沿岸国家，造成大约30万人死亡”符合语境。故选G项。
2．答案：B
解析：关联逻辑法解题。空前“A tsunami can be caused by natural phenomena...”说明本段是推测发生海啸的原因。B选项“它也可能是由海上爆炸的核武器引起的”说明了导致海啸的其他原因，承接上文，符合语境。故选B项。
3．答案：C
解析：关联逻辑法解题。空后“...some people saw the sea suddenly disappeared just before the waves came and knew that something was wrong.”说明海啸的速度很快。C选项“它在水下的速度很快，有时可以达到每小时1 000千米”说明了海啸的速度，和后文内容承接，符合语境，故选C项。
4．答案：F
解析：设题位置法解题。空后“...the only chance of survival is to run for high ground or for the high floors of highrise buildings.”说明了海啸巨浪之高。F选项“As a tsunami gets close to the shore, it becomes a series of waves up to 150 metres high.”说明了海啸引起的浪很巨大，引起下文，符合语境。故选F项。
5．答案：D
解析：关联逻辑法解题。前面“Since the tsunami of 2004, many people know more about tsunami.”指出人们对海啸有了更多的了解，空后应说人们了解海啸的好处。D选项“The next time a tsunami strikes, hopefully more people will be able to survive.”承接上文，符合语境。故选D项。
