42、此处表示“第一”，序数词first前需加定冠词the，所以在first前加the。24(G)Nothing broke the window and hit Matt on the head.没有什么东西打破窗户砸到马特的头上。根据“ hit Matt on the head”可知，应该是有东西破窗而入，所以将Nothing改为Something。25Matt had a few cuts（伤口）(I)and nothing was serious. 马特有几处伤口，没有什么严重的。前后两句构成转折结构，应用but连接，所以将and改为but。26He was very lucky (J)be

43、 alive.他很幸运能活着。此处用于形容词lucky后，应使用动词不定式形式作原因状语，所以将be改为to be。六、材料作文27书面表达根据以下提示写一篇有关自然灾害的文章(80词左右)。1. 4月21日，一场龙卷风(tornado)袭击了湖南衡阳(Hengyang);2.一开始，天变黑，大家能听到一阵奇怪的噪音，很害怕，无人知道正发生什么;3.几分钟后，人们听到雷声，看到闪电，然后一切开始移动，最后，它突然停止;4.在这次灾难中，7人死亡，2400多房屋倒塌，数千人无处居住，学生无处上课;5.灾难后，人们开始互救，许多警察来帮忙;6.如果大家都乐于帮助需要帮助的人，世界将充满爱。 【答案
