三、阅读理解（本题共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）amaybe you know floods, 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(蒸发) 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. 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. 班级 姓名 学号 . . 装 订 线 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 heaviest 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 blown down.what to do when a typhoon hitsl stay inside. close all the windows and stay away from them.l try to bring all of your things inside. strong winds could even blow away your bikes!l listen to

his address in london even though he cannot possibly receive them! i think people write to him because the books about him make him seem so real and because he is so clever at solving crimes. detectives need to be able to notice tiny details and use logic(逻辑) to discover who did the crime and why they did it. sherlock holmes knows how to do all these things.pictures of sherlock holmes always show him wearing a strange hat, smoking a pipe and looking carefully through a magnifying glass(放大镜), trying to find clues. clues are important in solving crimes, but i think sherlock holmes also uses his imagination and his knowledge of science to catch criminals. for example, in my favourite story, the hound(猎犬) of the baskevilles, he investigates(调查) the mysterious death of the lord(勋爵) of baskeville. using science, he discovers that the murderer used a large dog to chase the lord. he finds where the dog was hidden in the forest around baskeville house. holmes discovers who the murderer is by reading about the history of the baskeville family. by doing this, he finds out that the first lord of baskeville from a long ago had a secret son. the grandson of this secret son wanted to kill all the baskeville family so he could become the new lord. at the end of the story, holmes makes the murderer stand beside an old picture of the first lord so everyone can see how similar they look.i love the sherlock holmes stories because as holmes is investigating the crime, you can try to discover who the criminal is too. i always try to imagine myself playing the violin like holmes does while he is thinking about a case. in my imagination, i am sherlock holmes. （ ）46. what must a detective be able to do according to this passage?a. act like a criminal. b. notice tiny details and use logic.c. wear a strange hat.d. have good imagination.（ ）47. what did sherlock holmes wear?a. a magnifying glass.b. a strange hat.c. a pipe.d. a stick.（ ）48. where did holmes find the

the baskeville family.b. by hiding in the forest around baskeville house.c. by following the dog.d. by chasing the lord.（ ）50. why does the writer like reading the sherlock holmes stories?a. he likes to try to guess who the murderer is. b. he likes to dress up as sherlock holmes.c. he likes to play the violin.d. he likes to read stories and use his imagination.c(matt is going on holidays to
