I looked at my watch. It was ten to six. There was just ten minutes left before we 36 leave for home. Suddenly the earth began to shake.

my arms. “Will someone save me 39 the building falls down? Is this the end for me?” I kept thinking about that.
Several minutes 40 the shake stopped. Two of my workmates tried to open the door again, and they made it! We ran quickly to the street. It was such a(n) 41 that we couldn’t believe our eyes — the street was full of debris (碎片) and broken wood. More and more people came out and many were injured (受伤的). Lots of them did 42 but look up into the sky in shock. We walked a long way home not saying much. Some were praying (祈祷) and some were crying. 43 in such a situation was difficult. Our phones didn’t work because of the earthquake. So it was 44 to find out if our friends were okay. I had no way of letting my family in China 45 that I was still alive (活着) .

Ⅶ. 阅读理解(每小题2分,共20分)
A
Tuesday, Jan. 6, 9:50 p.m.
We were sitting in our warm living room. The TV was on, and everything was peaceful. Suddenly the light went on and off for a few times and then went out completely. Then the rain started, and everything went black. We found the flashlight and some candles and went to bed. Wednesday, Jan. 7, 7:30 a.m.
My first thought after waking up was that it was pretty cold in my bedroom. Clearly, the power (电力供应) didn’t come back. After one look out of the window, I felt even sadder: it was still raining heavily. The room was becoming colder and colder. We had no idea when the power would come back, so my wife started a fire in the fireplace.
Thursday, Jan. 8, 12:30 p.m.
The snow started. The poor trees now had to carry the heavy snow. The storm seemed to last (持续) and we had nothing to do but stay at home. Friday, Jan. 9, 6:00 p.m.
Still no power. Even though we lit (点燃) a few candles, it was still difficult to do anything in their weak light. I was sitting near several candles, but I had trouble reading.
Saturday, Jan. 10, 1:00 p.m.
The storm stopped this morning, and I drove my car to look for an open store. The trees along the roads were broken. I only bought the most necessary things: bread, some fruit, more drinking water and batteries (电池) for the flashlight. On my way home, the power came back and people were very happy. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
( )46. How did the writer feel when he found it was still raining heavily? A. Angry.
