The power of nature一、阅读理解On Christmas Eve, 1944, my grandmother urged my uncle, then 12 years old, to slip out of the concentration camp where they were imprisoned near 15 miles east of Vienna to go to Deutsch-Wagram. “People are charitable around Christmastime,” Grandma Lili said to her son, Gyuri. “Ask for some food. Anything they can spare. Tell them that were on the edge of starvation. Tell them that your 3-year-old sister can not get off the bed because shes outgrown her shoes.”In the dark of that night, Gyuri secretly left the camp and walked nearly four miles to Deutsch-Wagram, the closest town. He happened upon a house and knocked on the front door. A woman opened that door. She was probably alone, her man far away, fighting in the war, her children asleep in their beds. The 12-year-old pieced together in German exactly what his mother had told him to say.“e back tomorrow, whispered the woman. The next day, my uncle returned. The woman opened the door with a smile. She piled his hands with bread, clothing, a pair of shoes that her child had outgrown and a pair of socks. The woman had knitted warm socks for my mother. After putting on the socks and shoes that fit, my mother got off the bed in delight. Her ragged shoes were passed on to a younger child who was also living in the camp. They shared their unexpected harvest with the entire camp. It was a quiet celebration of human kindness around Christmastime.In April 1945, my mother, uncle and grandmother were liberated. And it was those very socks and shoes that my mother wore as she walked some 28 miles over two days to Bratislava on her walk to a new life.To the unknown giver, I thank you. In the desperation of a cold and snowy land, when many hearts were closed and death was more likely than life, especially for Jews, you gave them hope and fort.1.What did Gyuri manage to do on Christmas Eve?A.

lava; fountain)_ 答案：When a volcano erupts, hot lava is sent up hundreds of meters into the air like a fountain.3岩浆流经之处， 一切都被掩埋在熔岩下面。(bury; molten)_ 答案：Wherever the lava flows, everything is buried under the molten rock.4人们惊慌失措， 为自己的安全担忧。(panic; anxious)_ 答案：People are in panic and anxious about their safety.5当我们赶到火山附近的村庄的时候，我们发现许多房子都被烧毁了。(make ones way; burn to the ground)_ 答案：When we made our way to the village near the volcano, we found many houses were burnt to the ground.()将以上句子连成短文，要求衔接连贯、过渡自然。_ _ _ 五、下面是李华的一篇作文，文中有五处错误，改正错误并背诵该文。paring with natural disasters, humans are weak.
