One of the greatest 31. natural (nature) disasters in history was the eruption of Krakatoa(喀拉喀托火山). Krakatoa is 32. a small island in Indonesia. No one lived on the island. However, Krakatoa is between islands which both have large cities 33. and many people.
The island had three 34. volcanoes (volcano) on it. On 20th May, 1883, smoke began coming out of the smallest 35. of these volcanoes. The eruptions from this volcano and the other volcano close by could be heard in the city of Jakarta, about 90 kilometres away. These volcanoes continued 36. to show (show) activity on and off for the next three months. However, the 37. largest (large) volcano on the island, Rakata, was quiet.
On 27th August, one of the smaller volcanoes on the island had a large eruption. This caused a tsunami over 30 metres high, which hit the islands near Krakatoa and 38. killed (kill) many people. However, the worst was yet to come. About forty minutes after this eruption, there was a landslide(山体滑坡) on Rakata. This caused the sudden eruption of Rakata. It was one of the largest eruptions in the history of the world and resulted in tsunamis more than 46 metres high. It is thought that there 39. were (be) between 35,000 and 150,000 deaths caused by the eruptions and tsunamis, but no one 40. certainly (certain) knows how many people died.

阅读短文,然后根据内容回答问题。
Last summer, a terrible flood hit my hometown. The heavy rain lasted for days, and the river overflowed (泛滥). My family's house was destroyed, and we lost almost everything—our furniture, clothes, and even my favourite books and toys. I felt so sad and helpless.
For weeks, we stayed in a temporary shelter (临时避难所). I missed my home and school. I didn't want to talk to anyone. But my parents and younger sister never gave up.
My dad said, "We still have each other. That's the most important thing." My mum hugged me and promised we would rebuild our home. My sister held my hand and said, "Let's be brave together!"
Their words gave me strength. Slowly, I started helping others in the shelter. I played with younger kids and helped their parents look after them. Volunteers brought us food and supplies(补给), and I realised many people cared about us.
A few months later, with the help of kind neighbours and the government, my family built a new house. It was smaller than before, but it was safe and warm. I even got new books and a bicycle! Now, I understand that disasters can take away material things, but they can't take away love and hope.
I still remember the flood, but I'm no longer afraid. My family's courage has taught me that we can overcome anything if we stay together.
41. What did the family lose in the flood?
They lost almost everything—their house, furniture, clothes, books, and toys.
42. Where did the family stay after losing their home?
They stayed in a temporary shelter.
43. What did the writer do to help others in the shelter?
He played with younger kids and helped their parents look after them.
44. What lesson can you learn from the text? Write 25 words or more.
I learn that disasters can happen anytime and take material things away, but not love and hope. Family support helps people stay strong and rebuild their lives. Also, helping others makes us feel better.（答案合理即可）
