It's a warm summer afternoon. You're cooking over a campfire. Suddenly, a few raindrops fall on your arms, and before you know it, the sky is opened up. Then you hear what sounds like thunder in the distance. What should you do Your tent is close by and would offer shelter from the pouring rain. There's a campsite（野营地）a few minutes down the path. And then you remember that your car is parked down the road. What's your safest choice to make sure you and your families are safe
It's a common question for many hikers and campers, especially when they're camping during summer months. Heading for your car is almost always the safest choice. Your tent and a shelter will keep you dry, but they offer little or no protection against lightning. Your car, on the other hand, will keep you dry and protect you from lightning strikes. Protecting yourself against possible lightning strikes is very important; lightning kills an average of 62 people in the US each year. If you keep all of the windows and doors closed in your car, you'll be able to return to your campsite safely.
Of course, if you're backpacking, not car camping, and if you're deep in the woods, your car won't be a good choice. So, what should you do if your car is far away and there's no other safe shelter nearby First, you'll have to make sure that tree limbs（大树枝）or other objects don't fall on you or your campsite. Then you'll have to get in a safe position to avoid lightning, or flash flood conditions.
25. What does the passage want to tell us
A.When to start camping. B.How to camp safely in the woods.
C.How to survive a storm when camping. D.Where to camp safely in summer.
26. To avoid lightning in a storm, you'd better ______.
A.go into your tent quickly B.stay around the campfire
C.run into a campsite at once D.get into your car
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.People should not go camping alone. B.People should never camp deep in the woods.
C.Backpacking is not a good choice for campers. D.Finding a shelter when camping without a car is important.
28. What can we know about camping from the passage
A.Campers like car camping best. B.Lightning is a danger for campers.
C.Young people like backpacking best. D.Camping during summer months is the most popular.

Zhang Heng（78-139）, a native of Nanyang in central China's Henan Province, was a mathematician, astronomer and geographer of the Eastern Han Dynasty（25-220）.
Zhang's greatest contributions were in the field of astronomy. In 123 he corrected the calendar to bring it into line with the seasons. In 132 he invented the first seismoscope. It was in the shape of a cylinder with eight dragon heads around the top, each with a ball in its mouth. Around the bottom were eight frogs, each directly under a dragon's head. When an earthquake occurred, ball fell out of a dragon's mouth into a frog's mouth, making a noise.
Zhang Heng was a supporter of the Hun, the ancient theory, which stated that the earth is inside an egg. He wrote, "The sky is like a hen's egg and the Earth is like the yolk of the egg, lying alone at the center. The sky is large and the Earth is small."
He also drew a detailed map of the heaven. His chart showed 124 constellations (星群) consisting of a total of 2,500 stars, 320 of which were bright stars with names. "This is not including those observed by sailors," he wrote, "Of the small stars, there are eleven thousand five hundred and twenty."
However, Zhang Heng was not satisfied with his paper map of the sky. When his charts were completed, he hired craftsmen to build what may have been the world's oldest three-dimensional models of the heaven. The first globes were made out of bamboo strips, but eventually he had a globe made out of bronze, which was almost five meters in circumference. This in itself would have been a remarkable accomplishment.
But Zhang Heng took it one step further. He used the power of water to make his globe complete one rotation every year, showing how the positions of the stars changed from one season to the next.
29.What is seismoscope in Paragraph 2
A.An art work which was very beautiful. B.A device for measuring earthquake.
C.A toy for kids with some animals on it. D.A musical instrument which can make a noise.
30.What does the underlined word "which" in Paragraph 4 refer to
A.The detailed map of the heaven. B.124 constellations.
C.The heaven. D.2,500 stars.
31.What's the best title of this passage
A.A Great Astronomer B.The First Seismoscope
C.Zhang Heng D.Zhang Heng and All His Inventions
D
Each year more than 2,500 people die and 12,600 are injured in home fires just in the United States, with direct property loss because of home fires at about $ 7.3 billion every year. Every day Americans experience the horror of fires, but most people don't understand fires.
To protect yourself, it is important to learn something about home fires.
In less than 30 seconds a small flame can get completely out of control and turn into a major fire. It only takes minutes for thick black smoke to fill a house or for it to be in flames. Most deadly fires occur in the home when people are asleep. If you realize a fire, you won't have time to take valuablesbecause the fire spreads too quickly and the smoke is too thick. The fire uses up the oxygen you need and produces smoke and poisonous gases that kill. Breathing even small amounts of smoke and toxic gases can make you tired and sleepy, and short of breath. The smoke can cause you to be a deep sleeper before the flames reach your door. You may not wake up in time to escape.
Room temperatures in a fire can be 100 degrees at floor level and rise to（600）degrees at eye level. Breathing in this super-hot air will burn your lungs. It can melt clothes to your skin. In five minutes,a room can get so hot that everything in it starts to burn at once.
Fires are bright at first, but quickly produce black smoke and complete darkness. If you wake up to a fire you may be blinded, confused about where you are or which direction you should go in and unable to find your way around the home you' ve lived in for years.
Only when we know the true nature of fires can we prepare our families and ourselves.
32. How does the first paragraph develop
A.By raising questions. B.By giving examples.
C.By expressing opinions. D.By listing reasons.
33.What can we infer from the third paragraph
34.A.Getting us to lose our ways. B.Making our faces turn black.
C.Causing us to feel hopeless. D.Forcing us to walk around the home.
35.What does the passage mainly tell us
A.Different processes of home fires. B.Some basic knowledge of home fires.
C.Great damage of home fires in the USA. D.Some good ways to prevent home fires.

It's a warm summer afternoon. You're cooking over a campfire. Suddenly, a few raindrops fall on your arms, and before you know it, the sky is opened up. Then you hear what sounds like thunder in the distance. What should you do Your tent is close by and would offer shelter from the pouring rain. There's a campsite（野营地）a few minutes down the path. And then you remember that your car is parked down the road. What's your safest choice to make sure you and your families are safe
It's a common question for many hikers and campers, especially when they're camping during summer months. Heading for your car is almost always the safest choice. Your tent and a shelter will keep you dry, but they offer little or no protection against lightning. Your car, on the other hand, will keep you dry and protect you from lightning strikes. Protecting yourself against possible lightning strikes is very important; lightning kills an average of 62 people in the US each year. If you keep all of the windows and doors closed in your car, you'll be able to return to your campsite safely.
Of course, if you're backpacking, not car camping, and if you're deep in the woods, your car won't be a good choice. So, what should you do if your car is far away and there's no other safe shelter nearby First, you'll have to make sure that tree limbs（大树枝）or other objects don't fall on you or your campsite. Then you'll have to get in a safe position to avoid lightning, or flash flood conditions.
25. What does the passage want to tell us
A.When to start camping. B.How to camp safely in the woods.
C.How to survive a storm when camping. D.Where to camp safely in summer.
26. To avoid lightning in a storm, you'd better ______.
A.go into your tent quickly B.stay around the campfire
C.run into a campsite at once D.get into your car
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.People should not go camping alone. B.People should never camp deep in the woods.
C.Backpacking is not a good choice for campers. D.Finding a shelter when camping without a car is important.
28. What can we know about camping from the passage
A.Campers like car camping best. B.Lightning is a danger for campers.
C.Young people like backpacking best. D.Camping during summer months is the most popular.

Zhang Heng（78-139）, a native of Nanyang in central China's Henan Province, was a mathematician, astronomer and geographer of the Eastern Han Dynasty（25-220）.
Zhang's greatest contributions were in the field of astronomy. In 123 he corrected the calendar to bring it into line with the seasons. In 132 he invented the first seismoscope. It was in the shape of a cylinder with eight dragon heads around the top, each with a ball in its mouth. Around the bottom were eight frogs, each directly under a dragon's head. When an earthquake occurred, ball fell out of a dragon's mouth into a frog's mouth, making a noise.
Zhang Heng was a supporter of the Hun, the ancient theory, which stated that the earth is inside an egg. He wrote, "The sky is like a hen's egg and the Earth is like the yolk of the egg, lying alone at the center. The sky is large and the Earth is small."
He also drew a detailed map of the heaven. His chart showed 124 constellations (星群) consisting of a total of 2,500 stars, 320 of which were bright stars with names. "This is not including those observed by sailors," he wrote, "Of the small stars, there are eleven thousand five hundred and twenty."
However, Zhang Heng was not satisfied with his paper map of the sky. When his charts were completed, he hired craftsmen to build what may have been the world's oldest three-dimensional models of the heaven. The first globes were made out of bamboo strips, but eventually he had a globe made out of bronze, which was almost five meters in circumference. This in itself would have been a remarkable accomplishment.
But Zhang Heng took it one step further. He used the power of water to make his globe complete one rotation every year, showing how the positions of the stars changed from one season to the next.
29.What is seismoscope in Paragraph 2
A.An art work which was very beautiful. B.A device for measuring earthquake.
C.A toy for kids with some animals on it. D.A musical instrument which can make a noise.
30.What does the underlined word "which" in Paragraph 4 refer to
A.The detailed map of the heaven. B.124 constellations.
C.The heaven. D.2,500 stars.
31.What's the best title of this passage
A.A Great Astronomer B.The First Seismoscope
C.Zhang Heng D.Zhang Heng and All His Inventions
D
Each year more than 2,500 people die and 12,600 are injured in home fires just in the United States, with direct property loss because of home fires at about $ 7.3 billion every year. Every day Americans experience the horror of fires, but most people don't understand fires.
To protect yourself, it is important to learn something about home fires.
In less than 30 seconds a small flame can get completely out of control and turn into a major fire. It only takes minutes for thick black smoke to fill a house or for it to be in flames. Most deadly fires occur in the home when people are asleep. If you realize a fire, you won't have time to take valuablesbecause the fire spreads too quickly and the smoke is too thick. The fire uses up the oxygen you need and produces smoke and poisonous gases that kill. Breathing even small amounts of smoke and toxic gases can make you tired and sleepy, and short of breath. The smoke can cause you to be a deep sleeper before the flames reach your door. You may not wake up in time to escape.
Room temperatures in a fire can be 100 degrees at floor level and rise to（600）degrees at eye level. Breathing in this super-hot air will burn your lungs. It can melt clothes to your skin. In five minutes,a room can get so hot that everything in it starts to burn at once.
Fires are bright at first, but quickly produce black smoke and complete darkness. If you wake up to a fire you may be blinded, confused about where you are or which direction you should go in and unable to find your way around the home you' ve lived in for years.
Only when we know the true nature of fires can we prepare our families and ourselves.
32. How does the first paragraph develop
A.By raising questions. B.By giving examples.
C.By expressing opinions. D.By listing reasons.
33.What can we infer from the third paragraph
34.A.Getting us to lose our ways. B.Making our faces turn black.
C.Causing us to feel hopeless. D.Forcing us to walk around the home.
35.What does the passage mainly tell us
A.Different processes of home fires. B.Some basic knowledge of home fires.
C.Great damage of home fires in the USA. D.Some good ways to prevent home fires.
