Maybe you know floods, earthquakes, sandstorms and so on. But have you heard of typhoons?

Typhoons are some of the worst storms, usually around the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea. Most happen in July, August and September.

How does a typhoon happen? When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer sun, it evaporates(蒸發(fā))into the air. This makes the air hotter. When the air gets warm enough, it starts to move higher up into sky. Then cooler air around it rushes in. It fills the space that is left. After the air gets warmer, it starts to move quickly, making wind. The wind goes in circles(圓圈)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 metres a second, a typhoon begins.

A typhoon has two parts, one is called the "eye". In the eye, the wind does not move so fast. The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye. Here are the strongest winds and hardest rains.

Typhoons are very dangerous. What shall we do when a typhoon hits?

● Stay inside. Close all the windows and stay away from them.

● Try to bring all of your things inside. Strong winds could even blow away your bikes!

● Listen to the radio or TV for important information. .

● If you're told to go to a safer place, do it right now.

2.Typhoons often happen_______.

請認真閱讀下列短文,從短文后各題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中,選出最佳選項,并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

When students complete a book, they consider the job of reading done. When they are asked what they have got from the book, quite a few of them can give you some information about the plot(情節(jié)). But if we ask them more detailed questions, they have nothing to say. In fact, that is not what a good reader is supposed to do.

To be a good reader, firstly, is to know the background. We need knowledge of the life story of the writer, the culture and society in which the story takes place, Otherwise, it is hardly possible for us to better understand the book or come to realize the theme.

Then, we start to read the book. A good reader will not stop since he has already made a good preparation. He goes through the whole book to get the general idea of it instead of reading_____

Next comes an important step一read the book once again and write annotations(注釋) when there is something impresses us deeply. It helps us get close to the mind of the writer. Many students underestimate(低估)the importance of writing annotations. They say that they also can understand the writer although they do not write annotations. It is true that it brings us some trouble of writing, but it also gives us a lot of ideas of our own at the same time.

Finally, a good reader needs to write a book report. It is a time when we can sum up all our thoughts and turn them into a report. We start to think of the characters, the plots and the theme. Some say it is boring but in fact it is fun if we do it. Producing something of our own is really wonderful because we are on our way to be better than a good reader.

All of us move our eyes back and forth from words to sentences to paragraphs. However, as a good reader, we learn much more from reading one book carefully than we do from reading ten roughly(粗略地)

1.What background should a good reader know before reading a book?

A.The life story of the characters.

B.The theme of the book.

C.The society where the story happens.

D.The general idea of each paragraph.

2.What does the underlined phrase "off and on" in paragraph 3 mean?

A.上上下下地 B.斷斷續(xù)續(xù)地

C.來來回回地 D.里里外外地

3.According to the passage, a good reader ·

A.can just tell the plots of a book

B.can finish reading ten books at a time

C.underestimates the importance of annotating

D.will read a book more than once

4.The passage is mainly written to ·

A.ask readers to prepare well before reading

B.encourage readers to write a book report

C.tell what a good reader is supposed to do

D.remind readers to sum up their thoughts
