语法点
过去完成时回看更早场景

相似句：
- The river had dried up before the rains came.

had been fighting / had been planting 都强调某动作在过去某一时点之前已经持续了很久。
相似句：

not only ... but ... as well
课文用这一结构并列写出两层灾害：冲走土壤、引发洪水，逻辑非常清晰。
相似句：
- The storm not only damaged the roofs but caused power cuts as well.
- He not only apologized but offered help as well.
读写提示
- 复述本课时不要停在“火灭了”，重点是火后真正的危险和补救措施。
- 说明文概括适合按“现状 - 风险 - 对策 - 结果”四步走。
- 词组 take root 和 in place of 很适合积累到环境类写作中。
- 结尾的绿色 patches 是全文情绪转暖的信号，概括时别漏掉。
