Usually people decide the name of a typhoon by its landing（登陆） place.Last year, the 22nd typhoon called Mangkhut first came to Philippine and attacked southern China. Very heavy rain came through Guangdong Province, and trees and even buildings fell down in the strong wind. People could hardly go outside, and of course schools were closed for safety reasons. So what can we do if a typhoon comes?First, we must know the latest information about a typhoon. Then, we must close the doors and windows closely and remember not to go outside or too far from home. Third, when staying outdoors, always stay far away from the trees. While staying indoors, stick tapes（贴加固胶带）to the windows sothat the strong wind will not break the house. Finally, call 110 for help when you are in danger. In fact, people are friendly to nature. For example, they grow trees everywhere and make the land green and so on. So, if we learn more about different disasters（灾难）and remember the skills of keeping ourselves safe, we can live happily with the nature!（1）The first paragraph tells us that a typhoon ______.A moves the air fast in different windy weatherB is a kind of gentle wind in the natural worldC is stronger than the wind we feel every day（2）How many tips did the writer give us about what to do when a typhoon comes?A 3B 4C 5（3）The underlined word "attacked" in paragraph 3 means ______ in Chinese.A 抨击B 离开C 袭击（4）Why do people call the typgoon Manghut?A Because people in Guangdong named it first.B Because people in Philippine like Mangkhut.C Because the typhoon first arrived in Philippine.（5）What may be the best title of this passage?A What We Know About a TyphoonB What We Know About a TyphoonC Different Kinds of Wind17.阅读下面的材料，然后根据材料内容回答问题。

Laura and Martin live in London and are deciding where to go on holiday. They go to the moon every year with their friends, but this year they want to go somewhere different. They're looking through some travel magazines."I think we should go to Jupiter（木星）," says Laura. "It says here that a holiday on Jupiter brings nothing but happiness. The beaches are beautiful; the sand is purple and the sea is red! We can also go on a trip to Jupiter's moons! I can imagine having a great view of the stars. The only disadvantage is that we are not allowed to walk around freely. They have built a dome（圆屋顶）over part of the planet. We have to stay inside that dome because there is no oxygen（氧气）in Jupiter's atmosphere. However, I still think it would be great—none of our friends have been to Jupiter!"Martin, however, does not like the idea of traveling to Jupiter. He wants to go to Mars（火星）. "Mars was chosen as this year's most popular holiday place." he says, "The magazine says that people in Mars are extremely welcoming and that we can stay with a Martian（火星的）family. The family provides all the meals and we have the chance to take part in sometypical Martian activities. Isn't it great, Laura? Mars also has a lot of beautiful views to enjoy, mountains to climb and lakes to swim in. What do you think?"

She likes to exercise for her health. She walks five kilometers before breakfast every morning, and goes swimming twice a week at the swimming pool. She doesn't smoke and never drinks wine. She doesn't eat chocolate, and she doesn't eat sweet and fatty foods.One day Alice was on her daily walk when she saw a man sitting in a chair. He looked very old and his hair was white. He looked thin and weak, and his hands were shaking（发抖）, but he looked very happy.He smiled at her and said, "Good morning! Lovely day, isn't it?"He had a big smile on his face, and his eyes showed his happiness. But Alice saw that he had no teeth. "Good morning!" said Alice. "Yes, it's a lovely day."Alice thought he was old and clever. She thought he must be more than 90 years old.She wanted to ask him about the secret of a happy old age."Excuse me, but what is your secret for being so happy at your age? I hope I can look as happy as you do when I am your age."The man in the chair said, "My secret for happiness? I smoke every day, and drink three bottles of wine every day. I eat hamburgers, I eat chocolate and I never eat vegetables. I never walk anywhere and I never play sports. I sit and watch TV all day."Alice couldn't understand. She wanted to know how the man got to be so old when hedid everything wrong. She thought he should be sick and unhappy. Perhaps she was wrong. Maybe, she thought, people could live a long happy life without eating well and doing lots of sports."How old are you?" she asked."It's my birthday today." said the man, "I am forty-seven."（1）What does Alice like?A Smoking.B Drinking wines.C Doing sports.（2）Which is WRONG about the man?A He didn't have any teeth.B He was more than 90 years old.C He looked very old.（3）How often did the man do sports?A Never.B Often.C Every day.（4）How did Alice feel when she heard the man's secret for happiness?A Surprised.B Excited.C Interested.（5）After the man told Alice about his age, Alice knew ________.A the man was in good health for his ageB a good lifestyle was important for one's healthC people could live a long life without a good lifestyle16.We all know that exercise is good for your health. But some kinds of exercise may bebetter than others. Running, for example, may help to protect against heart disease and other health problems. Running may also help you live longer.Recently, researchers（研究者）studied more than 55,000 adults. About a quarter of the adults have a good habit of running. The study found these runners were much healthier than non-runners. In fact, the runners lived, on average（平均）, three years longer than the non-runners.Running may be good exercise, but it can be difficult on the body. Here are some suggestions on how to lower the risk of injury（受伤的风险）for people who are new to running.●Take it easyDo not run too much, too soon or too fast. Most people get running injuries when theypush themselves too hard. The body needs time to get used to（习惯于）increases in distance（里程）or speed. Muscles and joints need time to recover.●Get good running shoesThere is no single best shoe for every runner. You should find the shoe that offers the bestfit and support for your feet. More importantly, you should replace your shoes every 500 to 800 kilometers.●Take good notesTake some time after each running to write down notes about what you did and how you felt. Look for things that happen again and again. For example, you may find that your knees ache（膝盖疼）when you run sometimes. But maybe you feel great when you have a rest between running days. These notes will help you make the best plan for running.（1）Which of the following is NOT the benefit（好处）of running?A Help to protect against heart disease.B Protect from all the healthproblems. C Help people live longer.（2）By saying "take it easy" the writer means ________.A everyone should not do too much runningB running is so easy that we should push ourselves to run moreC people should increase in distance or speed according to howthe body feels（3）A good note is to help you ________.A find the way of running that is right for youB do some research onexercise C write down what you did and how you felt（4）The writer wants to tell us in para.2 ________.A a good habit of running may help you live longerB the number of non-runners was getting smallerC three quarters of 55,000 adults were new to running（5）The purpose of this passage is ________.A to give information to researchers to work betterB to warn the non-runners of the dangers in runningC to help runners to exercise in a scientific way17. 阅读下面的材料，然后根据材料内容回答问题。

He found a strange message on the e-mail. It was from a woman in Pittsbutgh, Pennsylvania（宾夕法尼亚州）. He had talked to her on e-mail many times in the last ten days. All the other messages were fun and interesting to read. This message was quite different.The message said, "I can'tt sspeakll if hel remember loved kowihn yu iamj leavig."

You are at the back of a queue（队列）. As those in other lines move ahead, the time to decide arrives. Do you stay put, switch to another line（Look! It moves faster! ）, or give up altogether?Researchers at Harvard Business School have now solved this question. They suggest people think twice before switching queues.Ryan Buell was one of the researchers. He explained that people at the back of a queue wanted to switch queues because of "last-place aversion". When people know they are the last, they feel uncomfortable. This also explains why people feel unhappy when they know they earn less than others do.Buell and his colleagues began the research with an online survey（调查）. People who took part in the survey were forced to wait in a queue displayed on the screen. They stared at the back and could wait, switch to a second queue or choose to leave.About one in five people grew impatient at the back of the queue and switched to another line. While they hoped the new line could move faster, they actually waited 10% longer than if they had stayed put. People who switched twice waited 67% longer than if they had never moved."We always want to make the best choice. When we see a line moving faster, we want to switch without having extra information," said Buell. "Unluckily, we can often get it wrong." According to Buell, people feel unhappiest at the back of a queue for the first ten seconds. After that, they begin to feel better. The researchers suggest people have a chat with the person in front. That way, they can pass the time more comfortably until someone else joins behind them. "Remember that the person in front of you was the last until you arrived," Buell said. "So someone will show up if you hang around long enough."（1）The underlined word "switch" in para1 means ________.A changeB waitC walk（2）What did Ryan Buell explain in the research?A When people knew they were the first, they feel uncomfortable.B People thought twice before switching queues.C People at the back of a queue wanted to switch queues because of "last-place aversion".（3）What didn't people at the back do according to Buell's survey?A Some just waited patiently.B Some fought with each other.C Some switched to a second queue.（4）What will happen if you switch to another line according to the passage?A If you switch twice, you will wait 67% shorter than if you never move.B You will actually wait 10% longer than if you have stayed out.C You have made the best choice if you switch to another line.（5）What do the researchers suggest us if we are at the back of a queue?A We can have a chat with the person in front to pass the time more comfortably.B We can change to a new line or switch twice if possible.C We feel unhappiest at the back of a queue for the first ten seconds.四、任务型阅读（回答问题）16. 阅读下面的材料，然后根据材料内容回答问题。
