D Sometimes when the rain falls hard and fast on you,it might hurt a itle.But what happens when it hits(击中)a mosquito(蚊子)？In2012 David Hu,a scientist at Georgia Tech,became interested in this problem and decided to do a study.He used a high-speed camera so that he could watch the mosquitoes in very slow motion and find out what raindrδp they're doing when they're out in the rain. What he found is that when a raindrop falls on a mosquito,it's like when a bus hits a person.Besides,a raindrop hits the mosquito about once every 20 seconds.So why don't we see many dead mosquitoes after it rains?A mosquito is as big as a raindrop,but it is much lighter-0.002 g only.This saves the mosquito's life when a raindrop hits it.Because the mosquito is so light,when it is hit by a raindrop,it won't experience a force (that is strong enough to kill it. The study also found that when a mosquito is hit by a raindrop,the mosquito is pushed (by the raindrop and falls together with it.But the mosquito doesn't get wet easily because it is covered with hairs which can keep off water.After dropping about 6 cm,it will turn over off the raindrop and fly away. David Hu added that this action isn't always successful.If the mosquito flies too low ( when it is hit by the raindrop,it won't have time to fly off.Then it will hit the ground and meet the end of its life. In short,mosquitoes can stay alive when raindrops hit them mainly because they are very light and have tiny waterproof()hairs on their bodies.But whether they can live or not also depends on how high they fly. 八年级英语试题第8页共12页 61.What does the underlined word "motion"mean? A.Weather. B.Place. C.Action. D.Sound. 62.What helps mosquitoes stay safe in the rain? A.Their ears and their eyes. B.Their wings and their legs C.Their body shape and their wings. D.Their body weight and their hairs. 63.Which of the following can be dangerous for a mosquito in the rain? A.It tries to turn over in time. B.It flies too close to the ground C.The rain falls too hard and fast. D.The raindrops hit it too many times. 64.What is the purpose(目的)of the passage? A.To advise people to stay away from mosquitoes in the rain. B.To explain the reason why people feel a little hurt in the rain. C.To describe the challenges scientists face when doing research D.To introduce a scientist's study on how mosquitoes stay alive in the rain. 65.What is the structure(结构)of the passage? A.①/②③④/⑤. B.①②/③④/⑤.C.①/②③/④⑤.D.①②③/④/⑤ 第二节阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使 短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。(5小题，每小题1分，满分5分) E When you visit someone's new home for the first time,it's nice to bring a gift.Housewarming gifts may not be as common as birthday gifts,but they show one's kindness.66 When to give a housewarming gift The best time to give a housewarming gift is within (......the first three to six months after someone moves in.6Even if there's no party,if you visit someone's new home within the first six months after they move in,a gift is still a good idea 68 Housewarming gifts are not just for people who buy their first home.Anyone moving into a new place would love to get a gift.It's a nice way to say "welcome"and “congratulations'”.
