It had been a hot day and the beach was packed all day with people enjoying the sun and surf. Normally our beach is well protected so that it's a great family swimming beach. But when ocean waves come up, like any beach, conditions become dangerous.
The sun was setting in the west and we were getting ready to pack up. Just then the wind started and was blowing across the sand. My Captain Allan saw some swimmers in trouble, telling me to go and help. And I'm just 15 years old. It was going to be a memorable day. When I got to the swimmers, I realized there were three people in trouble. All were teenagers, three boys. I was a little scared (害怕) because they were older than me. All the thoughts of people almost drowning their rescuers that we learned in training came flooding back to me. Often when a swimmer is in trouble and when you go to assist them, they do whatever they can to get out of the water—including climbing on top of you—when they are in panic.
I yelled out to the boy close to me, telling him that I was a qualified surf lifesaver. “Do you need my help？” I shouted, thinking they might not want me because they might think I was too young or not strong enough to save them. “Yes, please！” was their immediate response. That put my mind at ease—I knew it didn't matter to them who was rescuing them. I was a surf lifesaver and I was going to get them back to shore.
I signaled to shore that I needed assistance, and two other lifesavers came out. Together we got the three tired and panicked swimmers back to shore. It was a pretty amazing feeling. On that day, I was just so proud to be a surf lifesaver.
21．When did the wind start and was blowing across the sand? A．In the morning. B．At noon.
C．Late in the afternoon. D．At night.
22．What does the underlined word “That” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．The author was strong enough.
B．The three swimmers needed his help. C．The author could turn to others for aid. D．The three swimmers were not so nervous. 23．What do we know about the author?

Weather changes when the temperature and the amount of water in the atmosphere change.We can see and feel water coming from the atmosphere when we have rain.But the water must somehow get back to the atmosphere.Meteorologists call this the water cycle.
There are many stages in the water cycle.Rain falls when water vapour in clouds condenses(凝结). Drops of water form and fall to the ground.The water soaks into the ground and feeds streams and rivers.A lot of rain falls into the sea.The heat of the sun evaporates some of the water in the ground and in the rivers，lakes，and the sea.It changes the liquid water into water vapour.The vapour rises onto the air.Water vapour is normally invisible.On a very damp or humid day，however，you can sometimes see water vapour rising from a puddle(水坑) or pond in a mist(薄雾) above the water.Water vapour also gets into the air from living things.Trees and other plants take in water through their roots and give off water vapour from their leaves.People and land animal drink water and breathe out water vapour.In all these ways the water returns to the air.There it gathers to form clouds and condenses to form rain.The rain falls to earth，and the cycle starts again.It continues even if snow or hail(冰雹) fall instead because both eventually melt to form water.The amount of water vapour in the air depends on the temperature.The air is more moist(潮湿) in the tropics(热带) than in the cold polar regions.
28．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Water cycle. B．Water vapour. C．How rain forms.
D．Water，vapour，rain.
29．How many ways of the water returning to the air are discussed in the text? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five.
30．Whether water vapour can be seen or not depends on________. A．how much water is evaporated B．how good your eyes are
C．in which way water is evaporated D．climate or weather
31．From the passage we get to know________.
A．there is more water vapour in the air in the tropics than in cold polar regions B．there is more water vapour in the air in cold polar region than in the tropics
C．it gets more rain in the tropics than in cold polar regions because there is less vapour D．the amount of water vapour in the air depends on how often it rains 答案：
28．解析：主旨大意题。全文讲述的是水循环，因此A为最佳答案。 答案：A
29．解析：归纳总结题。通读全文可知水回归到空气中的方法，包括江河等水被太阳蒸发、树木通过树叶蒸发、人通过呼吸将水汽传出。
答案：B
30．解析：推理判断题。从“On a very damp or humid day，however，you can sometimes see water vapour rising from a puddle(水坑)or pond in a mist(薄雾)above the water”得此答案。 答案：D
31．解析：推理判断题。我们从文章知道是热量将水蒸发，因此可以推知A为正确选项。 答案：A
D
When a storm is coming，most people leave the area as quickly as possible and head for safety.But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm.These people are willing to risk(冒……危险)being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm
close up.
“Storm chasing(追逐)”is becoming an increasingly popular hobby(喜好)，especially in the Midwest of the United States，where there are frequent storms between March and July.A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports，and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop.
