We needed hundreds of handbags 【4】 (protect) our town from a food (洪水). 【5】, there was almost no sand in our town there were only rocks.

“We have to leave the town and look 【6】 somewhere safe to stay,” someone said. Then, everyone started packing and getting prepared to leave. when we were about to drive away, an old man 【7】 (stand) in the middle of the road and asked, “Where are you going?” We explained that we were going to safety and that he should leave too. He said, “There’s 【8】 (ton) of sand near my place.” He lived about a mile away up in some hills.

Within minutes, we were all heading for his place. In the following ten hours, some of 【9】 (we) filled sandbags and others placed them along the edges (边缘) of the river. There was a flood that night, but our town was safe.

The old man was 【10】 hero and from then on, we celebrated “Sandbag Day” every year.

【解析】

本文讲的是一个小镇发生洪水，全镇人一起对抗洪水的故事。

【1】句意：一条小溪在我们镇子流淌。分析句子结构，这里是定语从句，修饰前面的stream，是事物，缺少引导词，答案是that/ which。

【2】句意：一个夏天，总是下大雨，小溪变成了一条河。分析句子结构，修饰动词rain用副词，结合下文our little stream turned into a river. 小溪变成了一条河，所以是下大雨。答案是heavily。

【3】句意：更糟糕的是，水上涨很快。分析句子结构，系动词后加doing，结合所给单词，表示过去这一段时间都在进行的动作。答案是rising。

【4】句意：我们需要成百上千的沙包来保护我们镇免于遭受洪水。分析句子结构，用不定式做目的状语，需要沙包是为了保护家园，答案是to protect。

【5】句意：然而，我们镇几乎没有沙子只有石头。分析句子结构，位于句首修饰整个句子用副词，结合句意，表示转折。答案是However。

【6】句意：我们不得不离开镇子，寻找某个安全的地方待着。分析句子结构，这里是动词短语look for表示寻找的动作。答案是for。

【7】句意：当我们要离开时，一个老人站在路中间，问：“你们要去哪？”。分析句子结构，这里缺少谓语动词，文章是一般过去时，答案是stood。

【8】句意：在我家附近有很多沙子。分析句子结构，这里是形容词短语tons of表示许多的。答案是tons。

【9】句意：在接下来的10个小时，我们中的一些人装满沙包，另一些人把它们放在河的边缘。分析句子结构，介词of后加人称代词的宾格，答案是us。

【10】句意：那个老人是一个英雄，从那时起，我们每年都庆祝“沙包日”。分析句子结构，修饰可数名词单数，表示“泛指一个”用不定冠词，hero是以辅音因素开头，用a。答案是a。

a 和 an 均用在单数名词之前，表示一类人或事物中的“一个”，相当于汉语中的“一”，但不强调数目概念。

a 用在辅音之前，an 用在元音之前 ，如 a notbook 、an old man

字母 u 读作[ju:]时，由于第一个音[j]是辅音，故前面用 a ，不用 an 。如 a useful book，一本有用的书， a university 一所大学。字母 h 如不发音， 第一个音是元音，前面用 an 而不用 a ，如 an hour 一小时 an honest person 一个诚实的人。
