【例5】根据汉语提示完成句子
正当他准备离开时，雨突然下起来了。
___ ___ he was about to leave, it started raining suddenly.
【答案】Just as

Just as

本题考查时间状语从句的引导词。“正当……时”对应的英文表达为Just as，它可引导时间状语从句，用来引出另一个动作发生的时间点，契合本句语境。

【例6】用所给词的适当形式填空
She'll buy a new dress as soon as she ___(have) the money.
【答案】has

has

as soon as引导时间状语从句时，遵循“主将从现”的原则，即主句用一般将来时，从句用一般现在时表将来。本句主句为一般将来时（She'll buy...），从句主语she是第三人称单数，故谓语动词have需用其第三人称单数形式has。

一、用所给词的适当形式填空
1. The ___(bad) storm in ten years caused serious damage to the town.
2. ___(thank), the doctor arrived in time and saved the patient's life.
3. She stopped ___(think) about the problem and asked for help.
4. The little boy was called a ___(hero) for saving his friend from the river.
5. The old man's ___(die) made everyone in the village feel sad.

一、1. worst 2. Thankfully 3. thinking 4. hero
5. death

【分析】本题为英语用所给词适当形式填空题，解题思路是结合句子语境、固定搭配、词性要求转换所给词的形式：1. 看到“in ten years”（十年间）的比较范围，需用形容词最高级；2. 空格修饰整个句子，需用副词；3. 依据固定搭配判断非谓语形式；4. 根据冠词判断名词形式；5. 根据名词所有格判断所需词性。
【解析】1. 句中“in ten years”表示“在十年里”，是三者及以上的比较范围，形容词bad的最高级为worst，故填worst；2. 此处需修饰整个句子，应用thank的副词形式thankfully，意为“幸好”，故填Thankfully；3. 固定搭配stop doing sth表示“停止正在做的事”，此处指停止思考问题，故填think的动名词形式thinking；4. 不定冠词a后接可数名词单数，所给词hero为名词单数，故填hero；5. 名词所有格“old man's”后需接名词，die的名词形式为death，故填death。
【答案】1. worst 2. Thankfully 3. thinking 4. hero 5. death
【知识点】形容词最高级、副词用法、非谓语动词
【点评】本题考查英语基础词汇的形式转换，涉及形容词、副词、非谓语等核心基础考点，需掌握词性变化规则和固定搭配，属于英语学习的基础题型，难度适中。

二、用方框中所给短语完成句子
as soon as, right away, instead of, get off
1. He will call me ___ he arrives at the airport.
2. Don't ___ the bus until it stops completely.
3. He decided to walk to work ___ taking the subway today.
4. Please finish the task ___; we need the report immediately.

二、1. as soon as 2. get off 3. instead of
4. right away

【分析】首先明确方框内四个短语的含义：as soon as（一……就……）、right away（立刻，马上）、instead of（代替，而不是，后接名词/动名词）、get off（下车）。再结合每个句子的语境和语法结构匹配短语：第1句需体现“到达机场就打电话”的时间关联，选as soon as；第2句是not...until结构，需表达“车停稳才下车”，选get off；第3句需体现“步行代替坐地铁”的替代关系，且后接动名词，选instead of；第4句需对应“立刻完成任务”的紧急要求，选right away。
【解析】1. 句子逻辑为“一到达机场就打电话”，as soon as引导时间状语从句，符合语境，故填as soon as；2. 句子是not...until结构，意为“直到车完全停稳才下车”，get off表示“下车”，符合句意，故填get off；3. 句子表达“步行上班而非坐地铁”，instead of意为“代替，而不是”，后接动名词taking，符合用法，故填instead of；4. 句子后半句说明需要报告，需立刻完成任务，right away意为“立刻，马上”，符合语境，故填right away。
【答案】二、1. as soon as 2. get off 3. instead of 4. right away
【知识点】动词短语辨析、介词短语用法
【点评】本题考查常用英语短语的词义辨析及语境运用，属于基础题型，掌握短语含义和句子逻辑即可正确作答。

三、阅读理解
One night, Laura and her family were sleeping in their home. Their dog Scruffy was asleep next to Laura. It was 4:36 a.m. and it was quiet. There were no cars passing in the street and no noise could be heard. It was like everything was still. Laura always put a cup
of water next to her bed, so that if she got thirsty during the night, she didn't have to walk all the way to the kitchen.
Suddenly, the furniture started shaking, and the cup of water fell to the floor. Scruffy started barking(吠)and it woke up Laura. She looked around and saw that everything was shaking. She started shouting. Soon after, her father came in and told her to come out quickly.

Luckily, Laura's mother had prepared an emergency(急救)box and had it outside. She looked for the key, and unlocked the box. She pulled out blankets to keep her children warm. Laura looked at her mother and took the blanket. She then saw her dad take a flashlight from the box. He used the flashlight to see if the house had any damage. The father knew the house was not safe, so they stayed up until someone could examine the house.
The next day, the children didn't go to school due to the earthquake, so they spent the day with their parents. Laura was so proud of her parents, because they knew what to do during this disaster.
