【語篇導讀】本文是一篇記敘文，講述了龍卷風突然來襲，作者家的房子損壞嚴重，但作者和丈夫竟然沒受重傷，幸存下來。1.B主旨大意題。根據(jù)第二、三、四段內(nèi)容，特別是第二段中的Thebonesofthehouseshook,andthepowerwentout.Thewindbegantoroarthroughthehouse.，第三段中的Inthosesecondsofstillness,Icouldheeareverythingaroundmerattling.及第四段中的Aswereachedthelastflightofsteps,ourfrontdoorblewout.等細節(jié)描寫可知，第二、三、四段主要講述的是龍卷風造成了巨大的損壞，故B項正確。2.B詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞前的Itfeltasiftherewerenofloorunderneathmeasthewindliftedmeoffmygrippedthebanisterandtriedtomoveforward可知，風把作者吹起來的時候，她覺得腳下好像沒有地板，她抓住樓梯扶手想往前走，但是風吹得她動彈不得，由此可知畫線部分意為“風對作者的作用力”，故B項正確。3.A細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中的Amazingly,noneofuswereseverelyinjured.可知，作者和丈夫都沒有受重傷，故A項正確。4.A推理判斷題。根據(jù)全文可知，本文講述了龍卷風突然來襲，作者家的房子損壞嚴重，但作者和丈夫卻沒受重傷，幸存下來，所以作者寫這篇文章就是為了分享自己和丈夫在龍卷風襲擊中幸存下來的經(jīng)歷，故A項正確?！疚⒓寄堋客茢嘧髡邔懽饕鈭D的實用技巧寫作意圖題相較于其他題目具有一定的難度，此類題目既考查考生的閱讀理解能力，又考查深層次
