A mosquito is nearly as big as a raindrop,but it is very lightonly about 0.002g. This helps it stay safe when raindrops hit it.Because the mosquito is so light,the raindrop will not give it a strong enough push to kill it. The study also finds:when a raindrop hits a mosquito,the raindrop pushes the insect,and they fall down together.Luckily,water does not easily get onto the mosquito's body.There are many small hairs all over its body,and the hairs keep water away.After falling about 6 cm,the mosquito can roll (off the raindrop and fly away fast. Still,this good way does not work every time.If the mosquito flies very near the ground when a raindrop hits it,it has no time to get away.It will hit the ground hard and die. 27.How often does a mosquito get hit by raindrops in heavy rain? A.About once every 20 seconds. B.About once every 0.002 minutes. C.About once every 6 seconds. 28.What two things help mosquitoes stay safe from raindrops? A.Big body size and strong wings B.Light weight and small hairs on its body. C.Fast flying speed and strong legs. 第4页共8页 29.When may a mosquito lose its life on rainy days? A.When it falls together with a raindrop for 3cm B.When it flies very near the ground while being hit. C.When much water gets onto its body. 30.What is the main idea of the passage? A.To tell us why heavy rain brings people pain. B.To talk about different kinds of small flying insects. C.To explain why most mosquitoes do not die in the rain. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项仅使用一次。 Family is of great importance to everyone.Spending more time with family is good for both children and parents.3.For example,when family members spend time together,they can share fun-moments,support each other,and create happy memories.32 Here are some tips to spend some good family time.
