外研版八年级上Module 10 The weather单元测试

阅读下面的短文, 完成相关任务。

    In the Charles F. Johnson Elementary School in New York, there is a special radio. It gives people warnings about bad weather.

    One day, there came a sound from the radio. This sound brought the piece of news: a heavy storm was coming. William Tomic, principal(校长) of the school, asked teachers to bring children indoors and put them in a safe place at once.

    Minutes later, the storm came. However, because of the warning of the radio and the quick work of the principal, no one was hurt.

    "The radio really did work very well.(A)(我们对它的工作感到很满意), "William Tomic said. "The parents were happy as well."

    The U. S. government hopes there will be more such successful stories. It plans to give this kind of radio to all 97, 000 public schools in the country.

    Every year, more than 10, 000 big thunderstorms, 2, 500 floods, 1, 000 tornadoes(龙卷风) and some hurricanes(飓风) take place in the U. S., so the warning radios are very useful. They not only give people warnings about bad weather, but also give warnings about other dangerous  things.

(1)、What does the special radio give people?
(2)、Why was no one hurt in the school in the storm?
(3)、请翻译短文中(A)处所给汉语。
(4)、请把短文中画线的句子译成汉语。
(5)、请给短文拟一个恰当的英文标题。
举一反三

    Technology is developing fast and it has become an important part of our life. Then what will the world be like in the future?

    3—D food will be both delicious and nutritious(有营养的). We can use 3—D printers to print some basic materials.    ①    And we can go further. Scientists belive that we just need to turn on a printer in the kitchen and then we can enjoy our favourite food whenever we like.

         ②      5G network will allow many more people to get information. Big companies like China Mobile and China Unicom will start to offer 5G. It is said that promises download speeds 10 to 20 times faster than 4G. For example, we can download a film within just 1 second. But with a 4G network, it takes a few minutes. There will be much bandwidth (带宽) and we can get unlimited (无限的) information.

    Underwater cities will provide more space. The earth is becoming more and more crowded. We may turn to underwater homes, which will be built as low as 15 of the sea can be used to provide power for the homes.

         ③      For us common people on the earth, the dream of travelling around space will come true. In the coming years, spacecraft will be as popular as buses, trains and planes. We can leave our home and enter space to take an adventure (冒险). And even we will get used to living there.

    A robot will be a part of life.  Robots can do many of the same things as we humans do like driving cars. But they will be used in other areas as well. They will be able to think. They can tell the difference between right and wrong. They can feel       ④        In a word, just as Jules Verne said, "Anything one man can imagine, other men can make real."
