七、阅读理解
Maybe you know floods, earthquakes, sandstorms and so on. But have you ever heard of typhoons?
Typhoons are some of the worst storms, usually around the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea. Most of them happen in July, August and September.
How does a typhoon happen? When lots of sea water gets hot in the 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 metres a second, a typhoon begins.
A typhoon has two parts, and 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. There are the strongest winds and heaviest rains.
Typhoons are very dangerous. For example, Typhoon Haiyan killed 6,300 people in the Philippines. More people were missing.What should 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 watch TV for important information.
*If you're told to go to a safer place, do it right away.
1. Where do typhoons usually occur?
A. In the Atlantic Ocean
B. Around the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea
C. Near the Arctic Ocean
D. In European coastal areas
2. This passage is most probably from ____.
A. an advertisement B. a travel record
C. a weather report D. a science magazine
3. Typhoons often happen ____.
A. in the hot season B. in the cold season
C. only in China D. under the sea
4. When a typhoon comes, we cannot ____.
A. close all the windows
B. listen to typhoon news
C. stay inside a strong house
D. go outside
5. What should you do during a typhoon?
A. Open windows to balance air pressure
B. Drive away to find higher ground
C. Listen to the radio for safety instructions
D. Stand near windows to monitor the storm
