二、阅读理解。
It was an unusually warm night in June. Susan Roberts had an uneasy sleep. Suddenly, she woke up and saw the lights on at her neighbour's house. She was more worried when seeing the summer rain mixed with snow.
Her husband John looked at the sky carefully and told Susan to get ready for leaving. “Flood is coming. It would destroy everything so we have to wake up the neighbours at once!” “It was still dark; people were sleeping and didn’t realize the danger,” said John. “Thankfully, more people went to each other’s doors, shouting, ‘Wake up! You have to get out!’”
It was 3 a.m. when the flood came. The small town was washed away. Trees fell down on the town’s main road. Cars floated away. When the Roberts came back to their home the next day, they found their house had crumbled. “Oh, my house!” cried Susan.
To their surprise, the day after the flood, more than 20 people—all new to them—came together to help. They thanked the Roberts for saving them on the terrible night with action. “People went into our wet, muddy basement（地下室）and pulled everything out,” said Susan. “They cleaned up our yard and took things home to wash.” Helpers even saved her photo book, drying each page. And volunteers kept coming every day until summer’s end.
The town returned to normal, but something has changed since then. As people moved in, they were completely strangers. But as they have experienced something hard together, strangers have become friends. With a warm heart, one of the neighbours said...

答案
1.A 2.B 3.A 4.B 5.C
解析
1. 细节理解题：根据第一段描述的六月反常暖夜、雨夹雪的反常天气，可知是奇怪的天气让Susan心神不宁。B选项邻居家亮灯不是她不安的原因，C选项的洪水此时还未发生，D选项的邻居的哭声第一段没有提及，因此选A。
2. 推理判断题：空格前John提出洪水即将来临，必须立刻叫醒所有邻居，空格后提到更多人也挨家挨户呼喊提醒大家逃生，空格处需要衔接上下文，B选项“他们挨家挨户叫醒其他人”逻辑通顺，其余选项不符合故事发展脉络。
3. 词义猜测题：根据第三段“小镇被洪水冲走，树木倒地、汽车漂走”的描述，可知洪水过后Roberts家的房屋已经被冲毁倒塌，A选项“Fallen apart（破碎、倒塌）”符合词义，其余选项含义：B建造、C赠送/泄露、D计算出/锻炼，均不符合语境。
4. 主旨理解题：Roberts夫妇冒着风险叫醒所有邻居、救了大家的性命，洪水过后所有被救的邻居都主动赶来帮助他们重建家园，体现了“善有善报”的道理，对应B选项“What goes around comes around”；其余选项含义：A得寸进尺、C抱最好的期望，做最坏的准备、D树大招风，均不符合人物事迹。
5. 推理判断题：灾难过后原本互不相识的陌生人成为了互帮互助的朋友，大家不再是孤立的个体，因此邻居最可能说出的话是“我们永远不会孤单”，对应C选项，其余选项不符合故事传递的邻里互助的核心主旨。
