五、阅读理解。
One Saturday, Maria and I had a 30-mile bike ride. It seemed perfect. We started at 7 a. m. in beautiful spring weather. At 10:30 a. m., when we stopped for a rest, we both felt wonderful. And then a brisk wind came. That was when our perfect day began to change.
By noon, we knew a serious thunderstorm was blowing our way. Dark clouds rolled up across the sky. There was no way to stay out of the storm. We would have to wait it out, but where?
Then things went from bad to worse. The temperature dropped suddenly. I looked up and saw the sky now turned dark green. Trees and crops were bent over by the wind. No animals were in sight.
Then a blue car stopped beside our bikes. The driver shouted, “Get in!” She looked frightened, and so did we. We did as she said. That was when the hail(冰雹) started. Ice, the size of golf balls, hit the windows of the car.
She drove fast to the north. Maria and I looked back at the black sky. Maria screamed, “Tornado(龙卷风)!” It was so close that I could see trees, doors, and all kinds of other things that this monster swallowed(吞).
My heart moved up to my throat and was beating so hard. I thought it would jump out of my body. I had never been so frightened. We would never run faster than the tornado! The driver turned to us and said calmly, “There’s an overpass(立交桥) ahead. We’ll stay under it for protection.”
When we parked, we jumped out of the car and ran to the wall of the overpass. Before I could count to 20, there came a loud noise. It sounded like a train passing overhead. Then, suddenly, it was over. We had made it.
Soon we were all laughing with relief(轻松). We were shaken but excited. What a story I would have to tell at school!

这是一篇记叙文类细节型阅读理解，解题思路清晰易懂：首先通读题干标记每道题的核心关键词，再带着问题回到原文对应段落按顺序定位信息，逐一比对选项和原文内容就能选出正确答案。第1题核心关键词是"did on the day of the tornado"，直接定位文章开篇第一句就能找到作者当天的活动；第2题核心关键词是"happened first when the tornado began"，顺着原文的事件发展时间线梳理先后顺序，就能找到最先发生的事件；第3题核心关键词是"feel when it was all over"，定位文章结尾段就能直接找到事件结束后人物的感受。
【解析】
1. 定位原文第一段第一句"One Saturday, Maria and I had a 30-mile bike ride."，可知作者在遭遇龙卷风的当天正在进行30英里的自行车骑行，对应选项C，排除A（在家休息）、B（在户外玩耍，不符合原文骑行的描述）、D（开车的是陌生女司机，并非作者）。
2. 梳理原文事件顺序：到中午时首先乌云布满天空，之后气温骤降，随后才开始下冰雹，因此龙卷风相关灾害最先发生的是乌云翻涌，对应选项A。
3. 定位原文最后一段"Soon we were all laughing with relief(轻松). We were shaken but excited."，可知经历完龙卷风后大家此前十分恐惧，脱险后惊魂未定但又很兴奋，对应选项B。
