Rose is a pretty name but there was nothing pretty about Typhoon Rose. It was the worst typhoon to hit Hong Kong in ten years. It began to rain in the morning of Monday, August 16th, 1971. At ten o’clock in the morning, Typhoon Rose was still 130 miles away but already the wind was blowing people’s umbrellas away. The wind became stronger and stronger. The typhoon shelters (避风港) were soon full of boats. Ships that were too big to go inside the shelters put down more anchors (锚). Some very big ships went out to sea. It is safer for a big ship to be at sea in a typhoon because it cannot be blown onto rocks. Kai Tak Airport closed. No planes were able to take off or land. At 9:00 in the evening, all the lights went out.   No one slept well that night. It is difficult to sleep in such bad weather. In Typhoon Rose, more than one hundred people died. 229 people were hurt and 66 of these had to go to hospital. 1,500 lost their homes. The people of Hong Kong will not quickly forget Typhoon Rose! 1．What’s TRUE according to the passage? A．Typhoons all over the world have girls’ names. B．Typhoons with pretty names are usually beautiful. C．Typhoon Rose only hit Hong Kong. D．For ten years, people in Hong Kong haven’t seen a worse typhoon than Typhoon Rose. 2．What’s the possible result of Typhoon Rose? A．Lots of big ships were blown onto rocks. B．More than two hundred people lost their lives and many more lost their homes. C．People didn’t sleep well in such bad weather. D．People turned off the lights at 9:00 in the evening. 3．The people of Hong Kong will not quickly forget Typhoon Rose because ________. A．it caused the terrible losses B．they didn’t sleep well that night C．Typhoon Rose wasn’t as pretty as its name D．they couldn’t find their ships after the typhoon 4．Some big ships didn’t go inside the shelters because ________. A．they had more anchors B．it is safer outside C．they were out at sea and they weren’t fast enough to reach the shelters when Typhoon Rose came D．it was too expensive for big ships to go inside the shelters 5．This passage is mainly about ________. A．the names of typhoons B．typhoons in Hong Kong C．Typhoon Rose D．the typhoons 2 Nowadays, we have kinds of technologies that can protect us from different disasters (灾难). With them, we even know where and when some disasters, like the typhoon, will hit. While most of the new technologies are far away from us, some around us can help people in disasters. The drone (无人机) is one of them. It can be used to send food, water and important things when a natural disaster happens. Very often the buildings are too dangerous for rescue teams to get in, but they can make the drone fly into the buildings to search for those who are still alive. Social media is also a useful tool in natural disasters. With its help, people can know about the natural disasters earlier. Social media is also a place for the latest news, so people can learn what is going on in the disaster areas. Besides, many social media platforms allow people to donate money to help people in disaster areas. The money will help them get back to their normal life as soon as possible. For example, live-streaming (直播) helped raise a lot of money for Henan after the flood in 2021. Although these technologies can help when there is a natural disaster, we still need to prepare necessary tools and learn important skills to protect ourselves. 6．What do you think “the typhoon” in Paragraph 1 probably is? A．A kind of disaster. B．A kind of technology. C．A rescue team. D．A kind of tool. 7．Why do rescue teams make the drones fly into the buildings first after disasters? A．To raise money. B．To search for people who are still alive. C．To help carry important things. D．To ask more people for help. 8．What does the underlined word “its” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．The drone’s. B．The rescue team’s. C．The important thing’s. D．The social media’s. 9．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 10．Which is the best title of the passage? A．Different disasters B．Technologies protecting us C．Rescue teams D．Social media platforms 3 According to a recent study, the Middle East is warming almost twice as fast as the rest of the world. Without a doubt, high temperatures will have deep influences on the development of the area. That shows the growing risk to humans caused by extreme (极端的) weather. With more and more extreme weather events, we must find better techniques to make predictions (预测) about them.   AI is a powerful tool. It can deal with information and provide advice to help us better understand and make predictions about the weather. Traditional weather models use information from satellites (卫星). But these models have their disadvantages: they are not very exact. They also fail to discover complex conditions of the air around the earth.         AI can overcome (克服) these disadvantages by using the technology of deep learning. It can learn from historical and real-time information and produce trustworthy predictions. AI can also deal with information from different places, such as satellite photos or online posts, to provide clearer pictures of the weather situation. A paper on the Pangu-Weather AI model has drawn a lot of attention. Pangu-Weather is the first AI prediction model that is more exact than traditional weather prediction methods. This model can increase the prediction speed by 10,000 times, making global weather prediction time drop to seconds. In May 2023, Typhoon Mawar appeared in the Pacific Ocean. According to the China Meteorological Administration, Pangu-Weather made exact predictions about the direction of Mawar five days before it changed its way in the eastern waters of the islands of Taiwan. 11．Which of the following is TRUE? A．High temperatures will have few influences on the area. B．The Middle East is warming faster than the rest of the world. C．Traditional weather models use information from satellites and are very exact. D．Traditional weather models can discover complex conditions of the air around the earth. 12．How can AI overcome the disadvantages of traditional weather models? A．By using information from satellites. B．By using the technology of deep learning. C．By only learning from real-time information. D．By dealing with information from the same places. 13．Why is Typhoon Mawar mentioned? A．To tell us about the risks of extreme weather. B．To show how exact Pangu-Weather’s predictions are. C．To talk about how useless traditional weather models are. D．To express that the problems of extreme weather have been solved completely. 14．What might be the best title of the text? A．The Risks of Extreme Weather B．The Pangu-Weather AI Model C．The Climate Change in the Middle East D．AI—The Powerful Tool of Weather Prediction 4 Be Flood Smart What are the types of floods? Floods happen when a large amount of water covers the land that is usually dry. There are three main types of floods: river floods, flash floods and coastal floods. River Floods Flash Floods Coastal Floods They happen when the rain lasts for a long time, and the river can’t hold all the water. They are the result of a rapid and heavy rainfall. The rainfall raises water heights quickly. They are caused by storm surges (风暴潮) connected with tsunamis, typhoons, etc. What effects do floods have on people? How do we protect ourselves in floods? Number of deaths by floods around the world in 2023. Since 1998, floods have affected more than 2 billion people around the world. Many people have lost their homes, even their lives in floods. In 2023, 617 people died from floods. Know the signs and what to do when floods come.

They had left Taiwan in a small fishing boat and had planned a week-long trip. On their fifth day, however, they met a typhoon, and it badly broke the boats. Luckily, none of the men was hurt. After the typhoon had passed, they discovered that the engine (发动机) wouldn’t start, so their boat just drifted (漂流) at sea for over a month. During this time, the fishmen caught fish to eat and drank rain water to stay alive. Finally, the boat drifted toward a small island. When it got close enough, the men jumped out and swam to the island. On the island, they found fresh fruit and vegetables, and they continued to catch fish to eat. The fishmen had lived on the island for two months when a passing ship saved them. Although the three men had lost a lot of weight, they were still in good health. Their family were surprised and happy when they returned. 32．What happened to the three fishmen after they had left Taiwan? A．A whale attacked their boat. B．A heavy rain stopped them from tripping. C．Their boat was broken by a typhoon. D．They had planned a week-long trip. 33．How did the three fishmen live during the time of drifting at sea? A．With difficulty and pleasure. B．By looking for some help. C．By having fish and rain water. D．By repairing the engine. 34．Why were fishmen’s family surprised and happy when the fishermen returned? a. They didn’t lose their weight.     b. They were still safe and healthy b. They found fresh fruit and vegetables.     d. They had disappeared for over three months. A．a, b B．b, d C．b, c D．a, c 9 Maybe you know floods, droughts, earthquakes, sandstorms and so on. But have ever heard of typhoons(台风)? 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(蒸发) into the air. This makes the air hotter. When the air gets warm enough, it starts to move higher up into the 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(圆圈), 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 meters 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. This is where the strongest with and hardest rains are. Typhoons are very dangerous. Once, the typhoon killed 6100 people in Philippines(菲律宾). More people went missing. What to 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. 35．Typhoons often happen ________. A．in the hot season B．in the cold season C．only in China D．under the sea 36．When a typhoon comes, we cannot ________. A．close all the windows B．listen to typhoon news C．stay inside the strong house D．go outside at once 37．This passage is most probably from ________.

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(蒸发) into the air. This makes the air hotter. When the air gets warm enough, it starts to move higher up into the 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(圆圈), 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 meters 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. This is where the strongest with and hardest rains are. Typhoons are very dangerous. Once, the typhoon killed 6100 people in Philippines(菲律宾). More people went missing. What to 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!
