On a hot summer day, you find the pond (池塘) has almost dried up. Where did the water go It goes into the air! Each drop of water is made of tiny (极小的) droplets (小水滴). When the sun warms them, they rise and become part of the air. However, do you know how rain is formed (形成)
High in the sky, the air is cooler. As the water in the air cools, it changes back into droplets. They get together to make clouds.
In the clouds, many, many droplets get together and grow bigger. When they are heavy enough, they fall from the sky as raindrops, or-if it’s very cold-snowflakes (雪花)! The water we have on Earth now has been moving and changing forever (永远)!
We’ve seen how the sun heats (加热) the water so it rises, cools, and becomes a cloud. In the cloud, droplets join together to become raindrops, and fall back to the earth. Some rainwater rises again soon, while some joins rivers, lakes, or the ocean. This is called the water cycle (循环).
Rain falls almost everywhere on Earth. One of the world’s rainiest places is Mount Waialeale in Hawaii. It rains about 350 days a year there. One of the driest places on Earth is the Atacama Desert in Chile. It has not rained in some part of this desert in hundreds of years.

A. It never rains. B. It is one of the driest places on Earth.
C. It is one of the coldest places in the world. D. It rains about 350 days a year.
4. What does the passage mainly tell us
A. The importance of water. B. How rain is formed.
C. Where the rainiest place in the world is. D. Where the driest place in the world is.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D 4. B

2细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“When they are heavy enough, they fall from the sky as raindrops, or-if it’s very cold-snowflakes”可知，如果云中的许多水滴足够重并且非常冷，它们就会像雪花一样从天空中落下，故选B。
3细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“One of the world’s rainiest places is Mount Waialeale in Hawaii. It rains about 350 days a year there”可知，夏威夷的瓦亚莱尔山每年大约350天下雨，故选D。

The following is a letter to a newspaper and the reply from Robert Hunt, a school counselor(辅导员).
Dear Mr. Hunt,
My problem is that I can’t get on with my family. Relations(关系) between my parents have become difficult. They fight a lot, and I really don’t like it. It’s the only communication(交流) they have. I don’t know if I should say anything to them about this. When they argue(争吵), it’s like a big, black cloud over our home. Also, my elder brother is not very nice to me. He always refuses to let me watch my favorite TV show. Instead he watches what he wants until late at night. I don’t think this is fair. At home I always feel lonely and nervous. Is that normal(正常的) for a girl like me
What can I do
Sad and Thirteen
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Dear Sad and Thirteen,
It’s not easy being your age, and it’s normal to have these feelings. Why don’t you talk about these feelings with your family If your parents are having problems, you should offer to help. Maybe you could do more jobs around the house so that they have more time for proper communication. Secondly, why don’t you sit down and communicate with your brother You should explain that you don’t mind him watching TV all the time. However, he should let you watch your favorite show. I hope things will be better for you soon.
Robert Hunt

One Saturday Maria and I had a 30-mile bike ride. It seemed perfect. We started at 7:00 a.m. in beautiful spring weather. At 10:30 a.m., when we stopped for a rest, we both felt wonderful. And then a brisk wind came. That was when our perfect day began to change.

Then things went from bad to worse. The temperature dropped suddenly. I looked up and saw the sky now turned dark green. Trees and crops were bent over by the wind. No animals were in sight.
Then a blue car stopped beside our bikes. The driver shouted, “Get in!” She looked frightened, and so did we. We did as she said. That was when the hail（冰雹）started. Ice, the size of golf balls, hit the windows of the car.
She drove fast to the north. Maria and I looked back at the black sky. Maria screamed, “Tornado（龙卷风）!” It was so close that I could see trees, doors, and all kinds of other things that this monster swallowed（吞）.
My heart moved up to my throat and was beating so hard, I thought it would jump out of my body. I had never been so frightened. We would never run faster than the tornado! The driver turned to us and said calmly, “There’s an overpass（立交桥）ahead. We’ll stay under it for protection.”
When we parked, we jumped out of the car and ran to the wall of the overpass. Before I could count to 20, there came a loud noise. It sounded like a train passing overhead. Then, suddenly, it was over. We had made it.
Soon we were all laughing with relief（轻松）. We were shaken but excited. What a story I would have to tell at school.

On a hot summer day, you find the pond (池塘) has almost dried up. Where did the water go It goes into the air! Each drop of water is made of tiny (极小的) droplets (小水滴). When the sun warms them, they rise and become part of the air. However, do you know how rain is formed (形成)
High in the sky, the air is cooler. As the water in the air cools, it changes back into droplets. They get together to make clouds.
In the clouds, many, many droplets get together and grow bigger. When they are heavy enough, they fall from the sky as raindrops, or-if it’s very cold-snowflakes (雪花)! The water we have on Earth now has been moving and changing forever (永远)!
We’ve seen how the sun heats (加热) the water so it rises, cools, and becomes a cloud. In the cloud, droplets join together to become raindrops, and fall back to the earth. Some rainwater rises again soon, while some joins rivers, lakes, or the ocean. This is called the water cycle (循环).
Rain falls almost everywhere on Earth. One of the world’s rainiest places is Mount Waialeale in Hawaii. It rains about 350 days a year there. One of the driest places on Earth is the Atacama Desert in Chile. It has not rained in some part of this desert in hundreds of years.
1. Where does the water in the pond go in hot summer
A. Into the river. B. Into the lakes. C. Into the air. D. into the earth.
2. If many droplets in the clouds are heavy enough and very cold, they’ll fall from the sky as ________.
A. raindrops B. snowflakes C. pond D. water cycle
3. What do you know about the Mount Waialeale in Hawaii
A. It never rains. B. It is one of the driest places on Earth.
C. It is one of the coldest places in the world. D. It rains about 350 days a year.
4. What does the passage mainly tell us
A. The importance of water. B. How rain is formed.
C. Where the rainiest place in the world is. D. Where the driest place in the world is.
