牛津译林英语八年级上册 Unit 8 Natural disaster单元测试(二)

根据短文内容,选择正确答案。
    Maybe you know floods, earthquakes, sandstorms and so on. But have you 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 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(圆圈)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.
    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. Here are the strongest winds and hardest rains.
    Typhoons are very dangerous. In November this year, Typhoon Haiyan killed 5500 people in Philippines. More people are missing.
    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 it right now.

Boasting a long history, China is home to many famous paintings, which are now in the hearts of more than a billion people.

Nymph (仙女) of the Luo RiverGu Kaizhi

The legend has it that Cao Zhi fell in love with the governor's daughter. However, she married his brother and the prince became upset. Later, he wrote an emotional poem about the love between the goddess and common people. In the 4th century, Gu Kaizhi, a Chinese artist, was moved by the story and illustrated the poem.

Court Ladies Adorning (装饰) Their Hair with FlowersZhou Fang

During the Tang Dynasty, the genre (体裁) of "beautiful women painting" enjoyed popularity. Coming from a noble background, Zhou Fang created artworks in this genre. In his painting, the ladies stand as if they are fashion models, but one of them is entertaining herself by teasing a cute dog.

Along the River During the Qingming FestivalZhang Zeduan

Zhang Zeduan depicted (描述) the landscape in his work. However, instead of concentrating on the vastness of nature, he captured the daily life of the people of Bianjing, present-day Kaifeng. His work shows much about life in the Northern Song Dynasty.

A Thousand Li of Rivers and MountainsWang Ximeng

Not only did officials and scholars enjoy listening to music, but they also found pleasure in depicting nature. One such painter was Wang Ximeng. He was a prodigy. Wang Ximeng painted A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains when he was only seventeen years old. He died several years later, but he left one of the largest and most beautiful paintings in Chinese history.

Picture this: You're searching the Internet and see a website with interesting articles. Some are news stories.Their goal is to share information. Others only look like news stories. They're actually advertisements, or ads.The goal of an ad is to get you to buy something. How do the reader tell the difference between a news story and an ad?

Back when I was growing up, it was easier. We got most of our information from newspapers. Big news stories appeared on the front page, and ads were boxed off(分隔) and clearly marked. But on the Internet, the two are often shown together. It can be hard to tell which is which.

That's why the research group I direct did a study. My research team showed kids the home page of a popular magazine. We asked them to tell us what was a news story and what was an ad.

Most were great at telling certain kinds of ads. "It has a coupon(优惠券) code, a big company logo, and the words 'limited time offer'," one student wrote about an ad on the site. So where did kids get stumped(难倒)?

Some ads seem similar to real news stories. They have headlines and have information. But they may also include the words "sponsored content". Sponsored means "paid for," and content refers to the information in the story. "Sponsored content" is a way of saying that something is an ad. Most kids in our study, even if they used the Internet often, didn't know this.

Something sponsored doesn't necessarily mean it's not true. It means someone paid money for it to appear. Companies pay so that readers will see their stories, buy their products, and like what the company stands for.

As a reader, you have a right to know who's behind the information you're consuming(消费). So, look for the phrase sponsored content. (And look carefully. Sometimes, it will be written in very small letters.) The Internet is a big sea of information. To use it well, we not only have to know how to swim but also how to avoid the sharks.

Travel Squad--Travel Like A Soldier

Recently, "travel squad' (特种兵式旅游) becomes a popular trip style in China. It means travel like a soldier. It's different from the relaxing kind of traveling that we all know. Visitors often go to a lot of places in a short period of time at a low cost, usually on weekends. Most of these them are college students. "Such a trip can bring a different color to my stressful life." said Chen, a 24-year-old university student. "Because it is very energy-consuming (耗体力), it is not suitable for everyone." she added.

The city of Pontevedra in Spain is great for walking and cycling. People can't drive in the city center. They make 73 percent of journeys in the city on foot or by bike. Only 30 percent of the public space is for cars. Seventy percent is for people. From 2001 to now, there are no deadly road accidents, and the CO2 level went down by 67 percent since the 1990s. 

Fun and Fitness on Bikes

A cyclist dresses up during a 16-kilometer bike ride in Moscow during the spring 2023 Velofest. Velofest is a big cycling activity in Russia. The activity was a celebration in support of bike culture and healthy lifestyles. A number of people took part and many dressed up. It meant that they want an active lifestyle and eco-friendly (环保的) way of traveling.
