Weather conditions can change 27 when a typhoon approaches. The sky may darken quickly, winds grow stronger minute by minute, and rain begins to pour heavily. This is why it's crucial to monitor weather updates during typhoon season. 28 , with proper knowledge and preparation, we can significantly reduce the risks. Before typhoon season begins, families should discuss emergency plans and assemble disaster supply kits.

We should always be careful during such natural disasters. Lisa: Absolutely. It's important to know how to keep safe. For example, we should stay away from windows. Ben: Right.

It brings very strong winds and heavy rain. Areas near the sea in hot parts of the world. Stay inside your house. Listen to the news and get your things ready.

People might even build villages on its slopes because of the rich soil. But deep under the surface, great heat and pressure are building up. When the force becomes too strong, the mountain can 39 , throwing out hot rocks and ash. This shows us that nature has its own timetable, which doesn't always match ours. Similarly, when heavy rains pour for days, rivers can rise and 40 their banks. The water can cover roads, farms, and even houses. It seems that nature is reminding us who is really in charge. We cannot stop the rain from falling, but we can learn to understand its patterns and prepare for its power. Building stronger flood walls and not building homes in low-lying areas are wise 41 . Sometimes, the best thing we can do is simply to stand in awe of nature's beauty and power. Watching the endless ocean waves, listening to the wind in the mountains, or looking up at the stars on a clear night can make us feel 42 . These feelings help us remember that we are a part of this amazing world, not its masters. Having respect for nature doesn't mean we are weak. It means we are wise enough to know our limits and smart enough to live in harmony with our planet. By learning, preparing, and admiring, we can build a safer and 43 future for everyone. 38.

By working together and using technology, we can reduce the damage they cause and protect ourselves. Here is how we fight back. First, we use technology to get early warnings. Scientists use special tools to watch the earth and sky closely. They can often tell us when a big storm, flood, or earthquake might be coming. For example, before a typhoon hits the coast, weather stations send out warnings. This gives people time to prepare, such as moving to a safer place or storing food and water. Second, we build stronger and smarter structures. Engineers design buildings that can stand against the power of nature. In places with many earthquakes, buildings are made to sway a little instead of breaking. In coastal areas, strong walls can help to keep the ocean waves away. For instance, Japan has built high sea walls to protect its towns from tsunamis. Third, community cooperation is the key. When everyone work together, we become stronger. People practise evacuation drills regularly so they know what to do when a disaster really happens. Neighbours check on each other, especially the elderly and children. After a disaster, rescue teams and volunteers from the community and beyond work day and night to help those in need. Some people think we cannot win against nature's power, and it is true that we cannot stop disasters from happening. However, by preparing well and helping each other, we can greatly reduce the harm they cause. Our best “weapon” is knowledge, preparation, and unity. In short, with early warnings, strong engineering, and community spirit, we can build a safer world even in the face of natural disasters. Task 1: 44. How many main ways to fight against natural disasters does the passage mention? 45. What is the purpose of early warnings before a typhoon? 46. How are buildings in earthquake zones designed to protect people? 47. Why is community cooperation so important according to the passage? Task 2: 48. Imagine you are the leader of your school's Safety Club. Your town has just received an early warning for a coming typhoon. Based on the passage, write a short speech to tell your schoolmates what they should do to prepare for it. (Use your own words at least 30 words.) VI.

Has the government sent help to the flood area? 20. Many people were not sleeping when the earthquake started. 21.W here should we move to during a typhoon? 22.It was a terrible disaster, wasn't it? 23. Learning how to survive in an earthquake is important for us. 24. We must stay calm during a natural disaster. IV. 25.A 26.C 27. D 28.E V. A: 29.C 30.E 31.D 32.B B: 33.B 34.C 35.D 36.A 37.C C: 38.A 39.B 40.D 41.B 42.C 43. C D: 44. Three main ways. 45. To give people time to prepare, such as moving to a safer place or storing food and water. 46. They are made to sway a little instead of breaking. 47. Because when everyone works together, people become stronger. They can practise evacuation drills, check on each other, and help those in need after disasters. 48. Hello, everyone! A typhoon is coming. First, please stay calm. We should help our families prepare an emergency kit with food, water, and a flashlight. Also, remember to stay indoors when the typhoon comes. Let's check our classrooms to make sure all windows are closed. Finally, listen to the latest news. Let's work together to stay safe! (Any reasonable answer is OK.) VI. A: 49. Last night's news reported a natural disaster that occurred there. 50. The scene after the earthquake was terrible, and many people lost their homes. 51. The flood destroyed many houses and roads. 52. Due to the heavy rain, we had to cancel our football match. 53. Scientists say such bad weather may last for more than a week. B: 54. One possible version: Natural disasters and us In the past, people knew little about natural disasters. This often led to a great loss of life and property. Recovery was slow and difficult. Now, we have advanced warning systems to monitor disasters. Schools hold safety drills to teach students how to protect themselves. Rescue teams can reach affected areas much faster. In the future, I believe technology will help us even more. We might use AI to predict disasters more accurately and drones to deliver supplies quickly. With better preparation, we can reduce damage and save more lives. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 上海英语新教材8（下）Unit 5 单元测试卷 Part 1 Vocabulary and Grammar (第一部分 词汇和语法) I.
