When lots of seawater gets hot in the summer sun, it evaporates(蒸发)into the air．This makes the air hot, too．When the air gets warm enough, it starts to move higher up into the sky．Then, cooler air around it rushes in to fill the space that is left．Once the air gets warmer, it starts to move more quickly and make wind．The wind goes in circles, and it keeps moving higher in the sky．The warmer the air gets, the quicker the wind moves．And when the wind moves faster than 30 meters a second, typhoon begins． A typhoon has two parts．One is called the "eye"．This is right in the middle of a typhoon and is calm．The eye of a typhoon can be about 40 kilometers wide．In the eye，the wind does not move so fast，and there are not many clouds in the eye．The other part of a typhoon is the wall of clouds around the eye．This is where the strongest winds and hardest rains areTyphoons are very dangerous．They blow away houses and cars．And they can also kill people! Typhoons' hard rains are bad for farmers' fields．What should you do when a typhoon hits?Close all windows and stay away from them．If you're told to go to a safer place, do so right away．Try to bring all of your things inside．Strong winds could even blow away your bike!Listen to the radio or watch TV for important information．Cut away parts of trees that can be broken off by wind to stop them from doing more damage．( )1．Maybe is one of the countries which are not often hit by typhoon． A．America B．Australia C．China D．England( )2．The speed of the wind depends on ． A．how old the air is B．how warm the air gets C．how many mountains there are D．how much seawater there is( )3． the eye of the typhoon, it moves． A．The nearer the air is to; the slower B．The stronger the air is from;the faster C．The nearer the air is to;the faster D．The farther the air is from;the slower( )4 ．Which is the safest place when typhoon comes? A．In the eye of the typhoon． B．Under a big tree．C．Inside your strong house． D．In a cave outside．四、词汇运用。1．These stories are all about _________________(大自然的) disasters．2．Don’t _______________ this table with such a piece of dirty cloth．（盖）3．The _________________ happened when they were sleeping．（地震）4．People walked in all _____________________(方向) after getting off the bus．5．Did you feel a _______________(轻微) shaking last night．6．S_______________ you are all here, let’s begin our class．7．His uncle was killed in a traffic a_________________．8．Our teacher told us that l__________ always comes before thunder because it travels faster than sound．9．I spend n______________ three hours finishing the homework．10．After the terrible accident, he doesn’t know if his wife is _________ (live) or dead．五、动词填空。1．—I called you a moment ago, but you were not in． —Oh, sorry．I ________ (watch) a football game with my friends．2．We should do everything we can (protect) the birds in danger ．3．It was too cold, so they made a fire (keep) warm ．4．I saw your parents _______ (stand) on the side of the road when I was walking to the bus stop．5．I didn’t come to my party last night because I _____(chat) online with my friends．6．—I’m sorry I ________ (leave) my exercise book at home．—Don’t forget to bring it to school tomorrow, please．六、完成句子。1．由于寒冷气候的缘故，我爸爸的车坏掉了。My dad’s car________ _________ __________ __________the cold weather．2．我们每天都应该尽可能仔细地做我们的回家作业。We should do our homework ___________ __________ ___________ ___________every day．3．他说一个奇怪的想法突然闪过他的脑海。He said that a strange idea__________ _________his___________suddenly．4．人们互相惊恐地望着对方，向四面八方逃窜。People looked at each other_______ ________and ___________ _________ ________ __________．5．看着她那激动的脸，你最好在考试之前使她镇定下来。Look at her______ _____,you’d better________ __________ ___________ before taking exams．6．老师经常告诉我应该保护自己以免感染感冒。Our teacher often tells us to________ ________ ___________ _______cold．七、任务型阅读。Lightning is one of the most beautiful natural phenomena (现象)．It is also one of the most deadly phenomena．A bolt of lightning is six times hotter than the surface (表面) of the sun and gives out 30, 000 amps of electricity (电)．It can travel at 100, 000 kilometers per hour and has the ability to hit a target up to 40 kilometers away．About 1,000 people around the world are killed by lightning every year．Only about ten percent of people struck (击中) by lightning will actually die, but the others are actually very badly injured (受伤), with burns, broken bones, blindness, deafness, paralysis, or memory loss．However, when the electricity passes through their brains (大脑), it can occasionally have unusual and even positive effects (积极作用)．Some blind (瞎的) people have got their sight back after being struck by lightning．One woman said a psychological test showed her intelligence (智力) had greatly improved (提高) and one man said he could no longer feel cold at all and could go out in temperature below zero in just a T-shirt!
