Why is this?Britain has a warm winter and a cool summer because it is an island country. In winter the sea is warmer than the land. The winds from the sea bring warm air to Britain. In summer the sea is cooler than the land. The winds from the west blow over Britain all the year. They blow from the south-west across the Atlantic Ocean(大西洋). They are wet winds. They bring rain to Britain all the year, so Britain has a lot of rainy weather. The west of Britain is wetter than the east. The winds must blow across the high land in the west.( ) 27. What’s the weather like in Britain?A. It’s not too hot or too cold.B. It’s very bad.C. It’s too hot and too cold.D. We don’t know.( ) 28. When do the winds bring cool air toBritain?A. In spring.B. In summer.C. In autumn.D. In winter.( ) 29. Which of the following is RIGHT?A. There is more rain in the east than inthe west.B. There is as much rain in the west asin the east.C. There is less rain in the east than inthe west.D. There isn’t so much rain in the westas in the east.( ) 30. This passage mainly tells us _______.A. the season on BritainB. the rain in BritainC. the weather in BritainD. the winds in BritainBIt is not easy for people to sail(航海) around the world in quite small boats. Sometimes the weather gets bad. Accidents can happen easily and quickly.One family once had an accident. A big fish swam under their boat and bit holes(洞) in it. Sea water came in and the boat soon went down. Luckily these people had another small boat——a lifeboat, so they all got into the lifeboat. They lived in the boat for many days. They ate and slept, and always hoped. At last people in a ship saved them.How do people live in a very small lifeboat for a long time? They must be strong in every way, they must have a hope, and they must have a strong desire(愿望) to live. People cannot drink seawater. If they drink a lot of sea water, they will quickly die. They must catch rainwater and drink it. They must also catch fish and birds for food. Lifeboats do not often carry cookers(炊具). So people can not cook their food in the lifeboats. Raw(生的) fish and birds are not very nice but they are their only food. They must eat raw food, or they will die.( ) 31. When the boat sank(下沉), the lifeboat gave the people _______.A. foodB. bedsC. rainwaterD. hope( ) 32. One family once had an accident at sea, because _______.A. their boat met bad weatherB. their boat hit a big rock and it was brokenC. none of them knew how to sailD. a fish bit holes in their boat( ) 33. People can catch _______ for food and drink at sea in a lifeboat.A. fish and birdsB. rainwaterC. both sea water and rainwaterD. both A and B( ) 34. From the article we can know that _______.A. it’s not interesting to sail around the world.B. fish in the sea are so dangerous.C. we must have a strong desire to live when we are in danger.D. nobody knows when we will die.CThe word “day” has two meanings. When we talk about the number of days in a year, we are using “day” to mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night, we are using “day” to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning(旋转) of the earth.At the equator(赤道) day and night are sometimes the same length. They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 o’clock in the morning and sets at 6 o’clock in the evening. For six months the North Pole(北极) is tilted(倾斜) toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere(半球) gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer than nights. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days.( ) 35. When people talk about the number of days in a year, the “day” here means _______.A. the time between sunrise and sunsetB. 12 hoursC. 24 hoursD. from morning to evening( ) 36. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by _______of the earth.A. the pushingB. the pullingC. the spinningD. the passing( ) 37. At the equator day is as long as night _______.A. sometimesB. neverC. usuallyD. always( ) 38.

Typhoons are some of the worst storms, usually around the Paciffic 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 summer 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 sky. Then cooler air around it rushes in. 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, 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. Here are the strongest winds and hardest rains.Typhoons are very dangerous. Once the typhoon killed 6 100 people in Philippines (菲律宾). More people went missing.What to 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 can even blow away your bikes!☆ Listen to the radio or watch TV for important information.()1. This passage is most probably from _________ .A. an advertisement of a typhoonB. atravelrecordC. a weather reportD. a science magazine()2.

They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere(大气), because this is where the weather forms. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists (气象学家) can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists (科学家) can often say how the weather will change.Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare(比较) them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented (发明), the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead.1. What can satellites help to do?2. What do the meteorologists do with the new pictures that they receive?3. Do you think the weather forecast is useful in your daily life? Why or why not?八、完成句子（15分）1.明天温度将会降至0℃以下。

If you make a plan for each week, you will be surprised to notice how much you have improved your English by the end of the week! This feeling of success will encourage you to learn even more English.Quickly review before going to bed.Research has shown that our brains process(加工) information that is fresh in our brains while we sleep. By going over important knowledge before you go to sleep, your brain will work on this information while you sleep!Speak English aloud.Understanding grammar rules does not mean you can speak English well. You need to practice speaking aloud. Speaking by yourself at home and reading the exercises that you are doing will help connect the muscles（肌肉）of your face to the information in your head and improve your pronunciation.Do five to ten minutes of listening at least four times a week.If you decide that you are going to work hard and listen for two hours, maybe you will not do extra listening exercises soon. But if you listen five to ten minutes at least four times a week, you will find it’s not so hard to develop the habit of listening to English.Look for situations to practice your English.Learning English in a classroom is important, but using English in real situations will improve your English skills greatly. You can create new situations by using the Internet to listen to news, exchange emails in English with email friends, etc.(1) ▲ on Learning English六、书面表达近几年，中国部分地区出现雾霾(haze)天气，对人们的生活造成了严重的影响。
