   Part Three ??Reading and Writing

   Ⅰ. Read and choose （閱讀理解）15分

   (A)

   Maybe you know floods, droughts, earthquakes, sandstorms and so on .?But have you ever heard of typhoons?

   Typhoons are some of the worst storms, usually around the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea. Most happen in July, August and September.

   How does a typhoon happen? When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer sun, it evaporates into the air. This makes the air hotter. When the air gets warm enough, it starts to move higher up into the sky. Then, cooler air around it rushes in. It fills the space that is left. After the air gets warmer, it starts to move quickly, making wind. The wind goes in circles, and it keeps moving higher in the sky. The warmer the air gets, the more quickly the wind moves. And when the wind moves faster than 30 meters 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. This is where the strongest winds and hardest rains are.

   Typhoons are very dangerous. In 2004, Typhoon Yunna killed 164 people in Zhejiang, and 24 people were missing. In May 2006, Typhoon Pearl hit Guangdong and Fujian, and thousands of houses were damaged.

   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 could even blow away your bikes!

• Listen to the radio or TV for important information.

• If you’re told to go to a safer place, do so right away.

  True or False

1. Typhoons often happen in June, August and September.

2. When a typhoon comes, we cannot stay outside with our bikes.

3. This passage is mainly about the names of typhoon.

4. This year Typhoon Pearl killed 164 people in Zhejiang.

5. The strongest winds and hardest rains are in the eye of a typhoon.

   In England recently three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop and waited. About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way. Someone shouted at them. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreigners looked embarrassed. No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stoop is the first person to get on the bus.

   Learning the language of a country isn’t enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn’t agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement.

   In that country, you shake your head to mean ‘yes’— a nod means ‘no’. At a meal in countries on the A rabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeated refilled as soon as you drink up. If you think that you have had enough, you should take the cup or glasses in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.

   In Europe it’s quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring about trouble. Also, you should try to avoid touching the head of an adult ——it’s just not done in Thailand.

   A. were foreigners B. didn’t have tickets

   As many as 10 of the 17 kinds of penguins (企鵝) may be in danger of disappearing. The number of penguins have decreased by 30% since 1987.

   Penguins are black and white birds that live in the southern part of the world. They are common in South America, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa. Many live near cold waters, but some live near warm waters in Galapagos Islands. Penguins cannot fly, but they are fine swimmers. Penguins eat fish and krill (磷蝦).

   The warming of the earth causes the decrease in penguin populations. The heating of the air has caused ocean waters to become warmer. Higher water temperatures have reduced the supply of fish and krill. Some years later these birds are completely unable to reproduce (繁殖). Besides, many adult penguins die of hunger.

   Widespread (廣泛的) fishing, exploration for oil and oil leaks also make penguins be in danger.?Poisonous organisms in ocean water are another danger. Penguins also have their enemies, including wild dogs, sharks, seals and sea lions.

   News about penguins is not all bad, however. Several years ago, oil leaking from a ship hurt 40% of the penguins in South Africa. The penguins became covered with oil. But thousands of?people helped clean and treat the birds well.?Then they returned the penguins to the wild. Now these South African penguins are reproducing?in higher numbers than before the oil leaking.

   Answer the questions：

1. If there were 10,000 penguins on the earth in 1987, how many is left today?

2. Where can we commonly find penguins?

3. What do penguins feed on?

4. What causes the decrease in penguin populations except from (除了) the warming of the earth?

5. What do you think of those people who returned the penguins to the wild?
