A video went popular recently.In the video， there was a group of tourists traveling in the desert in Turpan， Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.Suddenly they found their hair standing on end， which scared everyone on the scene.According to the tourists， their hair returned to normal situation after they drove 3 kilometers down the road.
Many people on the Internet said the phenomenon（现象） is a sign of a coming storm.They suggested that the group should have run away as soon as possible.However， Feng Minxue， an expert said that running away is not the best choice in such a situation.
According to Feng， if a person’s hair is dry and there is a little too much static electricity（静电）， there is still time to leave.However， if the hair has already stood on end， running can be fatal（致命的） because it may put the person in danger.The correct way is to lower one’s body height.If they can’t leave the mountain top in time， they should quickly crouch（蹲） down in that place， bring their feet as close together as possible and use their hands to protect their head， avoiding touching the ground.
Wu Xueke， a professor， thinks that the clouds with electricity above the head of the tourists caused the situation.The electric field distortion（畸变） above their head became strong， and then it caused static electricity in their hair.In some serious cases， the person might be hit by lightning.Therefore， if people meet with such a situation outdoors， they should keep a clear mind and take action properly.

A.Tourists got lost in the desert.
B.Tourists’ hair stood on end while traveling.
C.Tourists drove 13 kilometers fast.
（ ）16.What did many people on the Internet advise the tourists to do？
A.Record the sign carefully.
B.Lie down quietly.
C.Run away immediately.
（ ）17.According to Feng， what should the tourists do？
①Keep their body down.
②Bring their feet close together.
③Protect their head.
④Touch the ground.
A.①②③ B.①②④ C.①③④
（ ）18.What can we know from the last paragraph？
A.People outdoors should try to avoid dark clouds.
B.Strong electric field distortion can cause static electricity in hair.
C.People are easily hit by lightning in the desert.
Ⅴ.语篇补全。
A.It’s on the road to death.
B.Most people say that saved my life.
C.And I had to spend two months in hospital.
D.I remember that day I was feeling a bit upset.
E.This is one of the dangers of drinking and driving.
Last summer I had an awful car accident.19. I hope my sad experience will be a lesson to all drivers， especially those who think it is safe to drink and drive.
20. I had a lot of wine with my friends.I thought I could drive home that night， but thirty minutes later， I was losing control of myself， yet I still went on because I really wanted to go to bed.
My car then hit a parked truck on the side of the road.The last thing I remember was trying to get out of the car with blood pouring down my head and broken glass all over my body.I remember trying to get out but my legs were stuck and I could hardly move.Luckily， I was wearing a seat belt.21. The next thing I remember was lying on a hospital bed.I wasn’t hurt seriously.

My Class Tries to Catch a Thief
When I walked toward my Forensic Science class， our teacher， Mr.Keller， a humorous and easy-going man， was kneeling down（跪下） by the doorway and staring at the floor.
“Everyone， don’t be afraid.A thief broke into our classroom last night and took my laptop.”
Shocked at first， we all began to feel excited about solving a “real crime”.In the class， we have learned about solving a crime with even very small pieces of evidence（证据）.Today is show time.
“The only evidence is this footprint in the doorway，” said Keller.We quickly blocked off the crime scene with tape and my friend Tammy began taking pictures.
“Great job， everybody！ We can use aluminum tape（铝箔胶带） to keep the footprint evidence，” Keller told us.“I think the thief is among us.”
“Can we make a plaster cast（石膏模型） of each of our shoe prints to see if it matches the footprint in the doorway， right？” I asked.
“Very nice.Let’s do it.” Keller took us to the playground and helped us make plaster casts of our shoe prints.Dirt and sweat were all over our hands and faces， but we were too busy to even notice.
The plaster cast makes it easier to find out the thief.But the result was a big bomb： “Mr.Keller！”One of my classmates， Amily， cried， holding Keller’s plaster cast.
“Bingo！ That’s me！” He laughed.“I entered the classroom to get my laptop yesterday.But you did a great job catching the ‘thief’ today.”

A video went popular recently.In the video， there was a group of tourists traveling in the desert in Turpan， Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.Suddenly they found their hair standing on end， which scared everyone on the scene.According to the tourists， their hair returned to normal situation after they drove 3 kilometers down the road.
Many people on the Internet said the phenomenon（现象） is a sign of a coming storm.They suggested that the group should have run away as soon as possible.However， Feng Minxue， an expert said that running away is not the best choice in such a situation.
According to Feng， if a person’s hair is dry and there is a little too much static electricity（静电）， there is still time to leave.However， if the hair has already stood on end， running can be fatal（致命的） because it may put the person in danger.The correct way is to lower one’s body height.If they can’t leave the mountain top in time， they should quickly crouch（蹲） down in that place， bring their feet as close together as possible and use their hands to protect their head， avoiding touching the ground.
Wu Xueke， a professor， thinks that the clouds with electricity above the head of the tourists caused the situation.The electric field distortion（畸变） above their head became strong， and then it caused static electricity in their hair.In some serious cases， the person might be hit by lightning.Therefore， if people meet with such a situation outdoors， they should keep a clear mind and take action properly.

A.Tourists got lost in the desert.
B.Tourists’ hair stood on end while traveling.
C.Tourists drove 13 kilometers fast.
（ C ）16.What did many people on the Internet advise the tourists to do？

①Keep their body down.
②Bring their feet close together.
③Protect their head.
④Touch the ground.
A.①②③ B.①②④ C.①③④
（ B ）18.What can we know from the last paragraph？
A.People outdoors should try to avoid dark clouds.
B.Strong electric field distortion can cause static electricity in hair.
C.People are easily hit by lightning in the desert.
Ⅴ.语篇补全。

My Class Tries to Catch a Thief
When I walked toward my Forensic Science class， our teacher， Mr.Keller， a humorous and easy-going man， was kneeling down（跪下） by the doorway and staring at the floor.
“Everyone， don’t be afraid.A thief broke into our classroom last night and took my laptop.”
Shocked at first， we all began to feel excited about solving a “real crime”.In the class， we have learned about solving a crime with even very small pieces of evidence（证据）.Today is show time.
“The only evidence is this footprint in the doorway，” said Keller.We quickly blocked off the crime scene with tape and my friend Tammy began taking pictures.
“Great job， everybody！ We can use aluminum tape（铝箔胶带） to keep the footprint evidence，” Keller told us.“I think the thief is among us.”
“Can we make a plaster cast（石膏模型） of each of our shoe prints to see if it matches the footprint in the doorway， right？” I asked.
“Very nice.Let’s do it.” Keller took us to the playground and helped us make plaster casts of our shoe prints.Dirt and sweat were all over our hands and faces， but we were too busy to even notice.
The plaster cast makes it easier to find out the thief.But the result was a big bomb： “Mr.Keller！”One of my classmates， Amily， cried， holding Keller’s plaster cast.
“Bingo！ That’s me！” He laughed.“I entered the classroom to get my laptop yesterday.But you did a great job catching the ‘thief’ today.”
31.What was Mr.Keller doing when the writer walked toward the class？
He was kneeling down by the doorway and staring at the floor.
32.What have the students learned in the class？
