【分析】
本题为英语完成句子题，需结合句子结构、固定句式、时态及词汇搭配完成填空：
1. 考查so...that...引导的结果状语从句，“害怕”对应afraid/scared，“朝四面八方跑”为run in all directions，结合前文hit为过去式，从句用一般过去时；
2. 考查宾语从句，“是否”用if引导，while引导的时间状语从句为过去时，从句动作（清理积雪）在过去进行，故用过去进行时；
3. 主系表结构，“黑暗和寂静”对应dark and silent，“在我周围”为around me，“一点儿也不紧张”是固定表达not...at all；
4. 考查固定搭配，“冷静下来”是calm down，“逃出大楼”为run out of the building，“尽快”是as soon as possible；
5. 第一空描述当前状态用现在进行时“is bleeding”，第二空“持续按压”为固定搭配keep pressing the wound。
【解析】
1. 句子结构为so+形容词+that从句，形容词“害怕”用afraid/scared，“朝四面八方跑”的过去式为ran in all directions，故填afraid/scared that they ran in all directions；
2. 宾语从句引导词用if表“是否”，从句时态与while引导的过去时从句一致，用过去进行时was clearing，“积雪”为snow，故填if she was clearing the snow；
3. 主系表结构，“黑暗和寂静”是dark and silent around me，后半句“一点儿也不紧张”为I wasn't nervous at all，故填dark and silent around me; I wasn't nervous at all；
4. 固定搭配“冷静下来”calm down，“逃出大楼”run out of the building，“尽快”as soon as possible，并列用and连接，故填calm down and run out of the building as soon as possible；
5. 第一空描述当前手指状态，用现在进行时is bleeding；第二空“持续按压”为keep pressing the wound，故填is bleeding; keep pressing the wound。

1. afraid/scared that they ran in all directions

六、阅读短文，回答问题
There are a few people who will get into their cars and go to the centre of the storm. These people risk their lives for the excitement of watching the storm close up.
“Storm chasing（追逐）” is becoming a popular hobby, especially（尤其）in the Midwest of the United States, where there are many storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by looking through the internet for the latest（最新的）weather reports, and then drives up to 1 000 kilometres to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop.
Storm chasing is very dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or break a whole house in a minute. Storm chasers are often hurt in accidents. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm season.
Storm chasing is not all risk and excitement. “Storm chasing is 95% of driving,” says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his free time storm-chasing. “Sometimes you can sit around for hours, waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a little rain.”
However, for storm chasers, it is enough. “When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting picture you will ever see in your life,” says Jasper Morley. “Every storm is an example of the power of nature. It is the greatest show on earth.”
