2 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。

It was a very hot afternoon. My friend Leah and I were waiting for the rush hour train. We were tired and couldn’t wait to get back to the place where we were living.

When the train arrived, we got into the second carriage from the front. The air-conditioning wasn’t working at the rear (后部), so the front was particularly crowded that day. I sat by the window admiring the changing landscape.

Suddenly we felt enormous pressure pushing us backwards into our seats. The windows broke into tiny pieces and dust flew around violently. I could barely open my eyes.

The train was suffering from a crash, and it didn’t feel as if it were going to stop. I thought I would be dead. I thought about my husband Guy, who was supposed to receive the news first. I thought of my dear father and other family members, wondering how each would deal with my death.

Voices began to break through my thoughts. People were anxious. Strangely, I was totally calm. I wasn’t panicking; my heart wasn’t even beating fast. When the train finally stopped, we slowly stood up, pushing off the table that had fallen onto us; others stayed in their seats and many were injured and covered in blood. I could hear screaming. A soldier pushed the damaged door open for us to escape.

Our carriage had run out of rails and we were halfway home. We had a lot of blood on us and I searched my body for wounds, but I didn’t find any. My knees felt painful and my hips were black and blue, and Leah had her hand cut when jumping off the train, but that wasn’t serious.

Helicopters landed and we saw soldiers running in and out. All around us were ambulances (救护车) and people lying on the ground. Everyone was shouting for help. I rang Guy, who was very calm and said he would come and get us. Seeing all these brought me great emotional hurt.

Paragraph 1:
It was almost dark by the time we found Guy and he drove us home.

Paragraph 2:
In the days that followed, I convinced myself I had internal bleeding.

9 . Last year in a cross-country race in Sanqing Mountain, Gentian left everybody far behind, but unexpectedly he felt a sharp pain and saw that there were teeth marks and blood on his calf (腿肚子).    1    But he didn't know that it was a poisonous snake called ''five-step snake'' in Chinese that bit him.

Deep in the mountain, with no phone, Gentian kept running with the injury on his leg for 15 minutes and finally met a local farmer.    2    He happened to know about herbs and medicine. Immediately, he used some herbal medicine to deal with it. Later, the organizing committee's ambulance rushed to take him to the local hospital.

What should you do if you encounter a snake while outside? Remember: first of all, do not excite it. Data show that people who excite snakes are easily bitten.    3    Second, avoid the places where snakes like to stay. Snakes like to bathe in the sun during the day, and usually stay on gravel and cliff edges. Third, if you happen to see a snake crossing through the road, you must stop and wait for it to pass.

    4    First, sit down and try to avoid the acceleration of blood circulation. Then tie the limb 10-30cm above the wound with a strong rope, and curitopenabout1cm above the wound. The cut should be 1-2cm wide, and squeeze blood from top to bottom. Generally, snakebites occur at the ankle.     5     Also, make sure to call the ambulance ASAP.

A．He sensed that his situation was not good.

B．Then what to do if you're bitten by a snake?

C．So staying still can prevent you from meeting a snake.

D．He thought his high end shoes could protect against the snake.

E．However, those who run immediately are less likely to be bitten.

F．In this case bending the knee to reduce blood flow can be helpful.

G．Despite the language barrier, he understood what had happened.

﹡After the fire, what now?

Bishop Patrick Chauvet, Notre Dame (巴黎圣母院)’s manager, admitted that the famous building would close for “five to six years” as he spoke with local business owners Wednesday. He added that it was unclear what the church’s 67 employees would be doing in the future. French President Emmanuel Macron said Tuesday that he wanted the church rebuilt in five years.

﹡What are the new rules?

While tourists can’t go inside the site itself, the area still may prove popular to those paying their respects. Visitors are welcome to write messages of support in both the main and local city halls.

The island that houses the church has been closed and the people there have been evacuated since the fire. Paris businessmen who depend on Notre Dame tourism are worried about the church’s future as well as their own.

﹡_________________________

It’s known that spring is a busy time for tourists in Paris. The travel company recommends people visit other places, like the Basilique Saint-Denis, the Sacre-Coeur and so on. Those who tend to observe church services during Holy Week are advised to go to Saint-Eustache.

﹡Looking ahead to rebuilding

It seems rebuilding can begin, since firefighters put out the fire early Tuesday, more than 12 hours after nearly 400 firefighters had battled the flames that changed the city’s skyline. Two policemen and one firefighter were not badly injured, according to the Paris Fire Service.

A large campaign to raise money already is underway to rebuild the church. Up to Wednesday, donations came to $1 billion.

1. What does the underlined word “evacuated” mean?

A．removed

C．accused

D．ruined

2. Which of the following subtitles can fill in the blank?

A．Saint-Eustache is favored by tourists.

B．Tour companies offer other choices.

C．Church culture develops fast in Paris.

D．The best time to visit Paris is spring.

3. According to the passage, what will happen after the fire?

A．The government will arrange work for 67 employees.

B．Visitors will be forbidden to leave messages anywhere.

C．Churches in Paris will also be examined and repaired.
