Hundreds of years ago, life was much harder than it is today. People didn't have modem machines. There was no modern medicine, either.

Life today has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution. It's bad to all living things in the world.

Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day. Sometimes the polluted air is so thick that it is like a quilt over a city. This kind of quilt is called hate(雾霾).

Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. Factories must now clean their water before it is thrown away, and they mustn't blow dirty smoke into the air.

We need to do many other things. We can put waste things in the dustbin and not throw them on the ground We can go to work by bus or with our friends in the same car. If there are fewer people driving, there will be less pollution. Rules are not enough. Every person must help to fight pollution.

One day after school, I went to the teacher's office to see my teacher, but nobody was there. As I was about to leave, I noticed a piece of paper on the floor. I picked it up and saw the words \"FINAL-TERM EXAMINATION\" at the top. I put the paper into my school bag secretly and ran out of the room.

After I came back home, I took out the paper quickly. It was the exam paper of my worst subject, History. I felt excited: My heart beat fast. I took out my History book and started working on the answer. I had never answered any questions so seriously.

On the day of the History exam, I went into the exam hall confidently. When the paper was sent to me, I dreamt of getting the highest mark in the whole grade and could not help smiling. \"My History teacher always encouraged me to work, hard and get better grades, but I let him down time and time again. This time I will give him a big surprise, \" I thought.

When the teacher said we could start, I turned the paper over. To my surprise, all the questions were different. Later I felt nervous. In the end, I almost left the paper undone. After the exam, I ran to the toilet, took out the paper and carefully read it from the top. Oh! It was last year's exam paper. I read all the questions but I hadn't read the date. This is a lesson in which I know I have to put my feet on the ground. I regretted doing such a silly thing. After that, I told my teacher the truth and I promised to be honest.

A bit of rain and wind in summer Call be nice．But bad storms are a bit different．

Some of the worst storms are typhoons．Every year，about 80 typhoons hit different places around the world．The strongest ones are usually around the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea．Most happen in July，August and September．

Why?When lots of seawater gets hot in the summer sun．it evaporates(蒸发) into the air．rnlis makes the air hotter．too．When the air gets warnl 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，making wind．The wind goes in eiwles，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，a typhoon begins．

A typhoon has two parts．One is called the“eye”．This is 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 are．

Typhoons are very dangerous．They blow away houses and cars．And they can also kill people!Typhoons’hard rains are bad for farmers’fields．What to do when a typhoon hits：

◆Cover all windows and stay away from them．If you’re told to go to a safer place，do so fight 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． 34. Maybe_________is one ofthe countries which are not often hit by typhoon． A. America B. Australia C. China D. England 35. The speed of the wind depends on________． A. how cold the air is B. how warnl the air gets C. how many mountains there are D. how much seawater there is

36. ________the eye ofthe 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 37. Which is the safer place when typhoon comes? A. In the eye ofthe typhoon． B. Under a big tree． C. Inside your strong house． D. In a cave outside． 四.阅读表达(共6分)

TV news programmes report the weather．Radio stations tell US the weather too．Newspapers show us weather forecasts(预报)on maps．

Why do people want to know about the weather? People want to make plans．Some people want to have a good time with friends．Other people want safety while doing their jobs．

Airport managers need to know about the weather．In bad weather，their planes cannot fly．Farmers need to know about the weather．In bad weather，they must protect their crops．Fishermen need to know about the weather．In bad weather，they cannot go out to fish．

Computers help US know about the weather．They get new weather information quickly．They can use this to predict(预测)how the weather might change．Unfortunately，we can still only guess．We all hope that the weather will be easier to predict in the future．

38. Where can you get information about the weather? 39. Why do farmers need to know about the weather? 40. Do fishermen need weather forecasts? Why or why not? 五.词汇检测(每小题1分，共15分) A.根据中文及上下文语境写出单词
