Ⅲ.故事续写
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
A
Fisherman Salvador was just trying to make a living on the sea with fellow fisherman Cordoba. Two days into the journey，disaster struck，and the two men would begin the greatest challenge of their lives.
The boat was loaded with tons of provisions，including70 gallons of gasoline，16 gallons of water，50 Ibs of sardines for bait（鱼饵）.They also had a mobile phone, kept safe in a plastic bag，a GPS，and a two-way radio. The two had never spoken before or worked together，but they liked fishing and both of them seemed to know what they were doing.
Two days later，the weather was getting worse and worse. Salvador was trying to remain calm，but Cordoba was not prepared. He held on to the rail（围栏）for dear life as the waves crashed around them，vomiting（呕吐）and crying. When the storm finally passed，Salvador noticed that they had drifted far away from land. To make matters worse，the motor had stopped working. Salvador called his boss on the radio，but there was no response. Even worse was the fact that the GPS they has brought with them had stopped working.
The two men had been at sea for two months. While Salvador had become accustomed to catching and eating the animals available to them，Cordoba’s mental health and physical health had begun to decrease. Once he got sick from eating raw seabirds，he refused to eat at all. His own depression，fear and malnutrition（营养不良）finally killed him，leaving Salvador alone on the boat.
One day，after a terrible storm，Salvador found the sky was suddenly filled with shorebirds. He knew that he was heading for land at last. He must have been close. There，in the distance was a green Pacific atoll（环礁）.It looked small and wild，but it was dry land and would likely have food and shelter.

B
Ten-year-old Sami loved to visit his grandfather’s house. The house was near the beautiful blue sea. At the seaside stood thick and tall palm trees with green coconuts hanging from them. When the coconuts fell down，Sami would break them open and drink the coconut water. Sami liked to play under the trees. It was always great fun to spend the holidays at grandpa’s place.
This winter vacation，Sami was surprised when he came to his grandfather’s village. There were hardly any trees left. He saw houses built near the sea. People had cut down many palm trees and there was hardly any greenery left.
Grandpa’s house was different. He never allowed his trees to be cut. He hugged each palm tree in his courtyard. He also named the two big trees near the front door—one was Petu，and the other Betu. He had planted them with his own hands and today they had become large，massive trees with thick trunks. They were tall and green and gave the sweetest，juiciest coconuts.
One night，Sami was awakened by a strange sound. He could not sleep. He tossed（辗转）and turned in bed.
Suddenly，the ground shook as if the earth was splitting. He sat up straight and then ran to Grandpa. He clung（附着）to his grandpa tightly. Grandpa cried out，“It’s an earthquake！It’s an earthquake！”They ran outside the house. They thought that would be safe.
Suddenly，there was a loud sound the earth was not splitting but the sea was roaring. People were shouting，screaming and crying，”The sea is rising！The sea is rising.” The villagers started running away from the beach. Sami watched dumbstruck（呆若木鸡）.
The waves were rising higher and higher. Sami thought, “How big the waves are!” He went into the house again and saw water coming in from all sides. He was scared.
Sami remembered his mother telling him long ago, “You must always get out of the house if the floods come too near.” He ran outside the house with Grandpa. But the water came surging（汹涌）in.
Waves about twelve metres high came rushing in，drowning everything. Water was all around and everywhere.

Ⅳ.概要写作
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Strange things were happening in the countryside in northeast Hebei Province. For three days the water in the village wells rose and fell. Farmers noticed that the well walls had deep cracks in them. A smelly gas came out of the cracks. In the farmyards，the chickens and even the pigs were too nervous to eat. Mice ran out of the fields looking for places to hide. Fish jumped out of ponds. At about 3：00 a.m. on July 28，1976，people saw bright lights in the sky. The sound of planes could be heard outside Tangshan even when no planes were in the sky. In the city, the water pipes in some buildings cracked and burst. But the one million people of the city，who thought little of these events，went to bed as usual that night.
At 3：42 a.m. everything began to shake. It seemed that the world was at an end！Eleven kilometres directly below the city the greatest earthquake of the 20th century began. It was heard in Beijing，which is one hundred kilometres away. One-third of the nation felt it. A huge crack that was eight kilometres long and thirty metres wide cut across houses，roads and canals. Steam burst from holes in the ground. Hard hills of rock became rivers of dirt. In fifteen terrible seconds a large city lay in ruins. Two-thirds of the people died or were injured during the earthquake. Thousands of families were killed and many children were left without parents. The number of people who were killed or injured reached more than 400，000.
But how could the survivors believe it was natural？Everywhere they looked nearly everything was destroyed. All of the city’s hospitals，75% of its factories and buildings and 90% of its homes were gone. Bricks covered the ground like red autumn leaves. No wind，however could blow them away. Two dams fell and most of the bridges also fell or were not safe for travelling. The railway tracks were now useless pieces of steel. Tens of thousands of cows would never give milk again. Half a million pigs and millions of chickens had died. Sand now filled the wells instead of water. People were shocked. Then，later that afternoon，another big quake shook Tangshan. Some of the rescue workers and doctors were trapped under the ruins. More buildings fell down. Water，food，and electricity were hard to get. People began to wonder how long the disaster would last.
All hope was not lost. The army sent 150，000 soldiers to Tangshan to help the rescue workers. Hundreds of thousands of people were helped. The army organised teams to dig out those who were trapped and to bury the dead. To the north of the city，most of the 10，000 miners were rescued from the coalmines. Workers built shelters for survivors whose homes had been destroyed. Fresh water was taken to the city by train，truck and plane. Slowly，the city began to breathe again.

Good afternoon, everyone,
I’m Li Hua, and it’s my honour to give a speech about typhoon prevention.
As we know, typhoon is one natural disaster that often occurs in our province. Every time it happens, it always results in heavy losses to people’s life and property. It is vital for us to learn how to protect ourselves from its damages.
Firstly, for typhoon, prevention is more important than any other measure. Therefore, before the coming of typhoon we are supposed to pay close attention to the reports about it and take preventive measures in advance. Secondly, the people living in the low-lying areas should leave there to protect themselves from the flood. Last but not least, when typhoon comes, we had better stay indoors and make sure that the doors and windows are closed tightly.
I hope we can be less affected by typhoon in the future.
III.A One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
Salvador struggled until he reached what appeared to be a beach house. This was a fisherman’s home. Seeing a weak man heading to their home unsteadily from the sea, the fisherman and his wife rushed out to him and welcomed him into their home. They had never saw anyone so weak and hungry. They were surprised that Salvador remained awake and managed to ask for a doctor before losing consciousness. Meanwhile they prepared abundant food and water for him.
Paragraph 2:
Salvador was rescued. Despite suffering unimaginable hardships, Salvador had survived his journey. He has spent 438 days lost at sea, and finally he was safe. Soon enough, he was on his way back home to E1 Salvador, where he was reunited with his family. Of course, he made time to visit Cordoba’s mother to tell her the news of her son’s death. No matter what situation we are in, prepare for anything possible and stick to the last minute bravely.
B One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
Grandpa held Sami’s hand tightly but a huge wave separated them. Grandpa fought the waves and strived to catch Sami, but failed. Sami was drifted away! He struggled to keep his head above the water. The water pushed him ahead. Fortunately, he caught a palm tree in his courtyard. He panicked and screamed out to Sami but could not see him. he clung to the tree tightly while the sea was all around. In hope of seeing Sami, Grandpa climbed higher up the tree. The water carried Sami round and round.
Paragraph 2:
“Sami, Sami!” Grandpa cried. “Don’t be scared, little e to me, quickly.” “But Grandpa, I can’t swim!” Another wave came with terrifying speed and force. Sami cried in despair. Suddenly, Sami felt himself thrown onto the top of a tree. He immediately held it! Looking around, he saw everything was terribly destroyed; but in the near distance, his grandpa was in another tree! Soon it was calm; both grandpa and Sami came down the trees and rushed to hug each other. Then they hugged the trees with tears of gratitude.
IV. One possible version:

By and by the city began to come to life again.
