Now I will introduce some safety tips when heavy rain causes floods. First of all, you
should pack a small emergency kit with enough food and common medicine at home. When
rain pours heavily, stay indoors and keep far away from glass doors and windows to avoid
being hit by broken pieces. Once flood water rises fast, leave low areas and move to high
ground as quickly as possible. The most useful way is to take a safety training course at
school to improve your self-protection ability.

What I Learn from Natural Forces
In Units 9 to 11, I have learned different natural forces such as thunderstorms, floods
and volcanic activities, and mastered basic self-rescue knowledge against disasters.
Last week, our class held a heavy rain evacuation drill. We followed teachers’ orders,
moved to higher floors orderly and practiced hiding away from windows. I felt nervous at
first but calmed down after knowing standard steps.
From these studies, I realize we must respect nature. Teenagers should learn disaster
prevention skills and prepare emergency kits. These knowledge can protect us when
dangerous natural events happen around us.八年级英语下期学情自测（三）

How Thunderstorms Shape Our World
Thunderstorms are one of the most common forces of nature, yet few people fully understand
how they form and influence human life. A thunderstorm begins when warm, wet air rises quickly
into the cold upper sky. As the air cools down, water drops gather together to form clouds. Inside
the clouds, ice pieces rub against each other and build up electric charges. When the charges
become too strong, lightning flashes, and the rapid heating of air around lightning creates thunder.
第 2页共 11页
Most thunderstorms only last 30 to 45 minutes, but strong ones can turn into severe storms that
bring heavy rain, strong winds and even hail. Every year, thunderstorms cause billions of dollars in
damage around the world. They can knock down power lines, flood low-lying streets and damage
farm crops. However, thunderstorms are not all bad. The heavy rainfall they bring supplies fresh
water to lakes, rivers and farmlands, especially in dry inland areas. Lightning also helps fix nitrogen
in the soil, which works as a natural fertilizer for plants.
For teenagers, learning thunderstorm safety rules is necessary. If you are outdoors during a
thunderstorm, never stand under tall trees or metal fences. Do not swim in open water because
water easily carries electricity. When staying indoors, avoid touching wired electronic products like
desktop computers and wired telephones. Many students make the mistake of opening windows to
watch lightning; strong wind and flying broken things may hurt them.
Scientists use weather satellites and radar machines to watch thunderstorms these days. They
can send warnings 1 to 3 hours before a bad thunderstorm arrives, giving people time to get ready.
As we study forces of nature more deeply, we can reduce harm and make good use of natural events.
( )21. What is the first step of thunderstorm formation
A. Ice pieces rub inside clouds.
B. Warm wet air rises rapidly upwards.
C. Lightning produces loud thunder.
D. Water drops fall down as rain.
( )22. What good influence do thunderstorms have
A. They cut down human daily costs.
B. They produce natural fertilizer for soil.
C. They clear waste water in cities.
D. They cool down seawater in summer.
( ) 23. Which action is safe during a thunderstorm
A. Standing under a big oak tree.
B. Making calls with a wireless mobile phone indoors.
C. Swimming in the community outdoor pool.
D. Standing beside open bedroom windows.
( )24. How do scientists predict thunderstorms in advance
A. By watching cloud changes with telescopes.
B. By checking daily temperature records.
C. By using satellites and radar equipment.
第 3页共 11页
D. By collecting reports from local villagers.
( )25. What is the main idea of the passage
A. The formation, effects and safety knowledge of thunderstorms.
B. Different kinds of natural disasters and their damage.
C. Ways for scientists to study all forces of nature.
D. Daily bad weather and its influence on students.

Volunteer Work After a Landslide
Last month, a heavy week-long rainfall caused a landslide in Green Hills Village, a small
mountain village two hours away from our city. Rocks and mud rushed down the hillside, blocking
the main road, burying several farm fields and damaging twelve wooden houses. Our school
organized a volunteer team of thirty Grade Eight students to offer help last weekend.
Before setting off, our geography teacher gave us a 90-minute training course. He taught us
how to move small fallen stones safely without getting hit by rolling rocks, how to pack clean
drinking water and instant food for homeless villagers, and basic first-aid skills for minor cuts and
bruises. He stressed that we must follow adult volunteers’ orders strictly and never walk alone on
the slippery hillside.
When we arrived at the village, we divided ourselves into three groups. Group One cleared
small stones and branches on the temporary walking path to make it passable for rescue vehicles.
My group, Group Two, visited homeless families staying in community tents. We handed out
blankets, disinfectant wipes and kids’ stationery. I talked with an old grandma whose vegetable
garden was completely buried. She did not complain too much; she said she was thankful that no
one in her family was injured. Group Three worked with firemen to check hidden risks of secondary
landslides after rainfall.
We worked from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. with only a one-hour lunch break. We felt tired with
sore arms and legs when we returned home, but none of us regretted the activity. This volunteer
experience taught me two important lessons. First, forces of nature can destroy people’s living
environments quickly, so disaster prevention education is vital for every community. Second, small
efforts from teenagers can bring warmth and practical help to people in trouble. Next month, our
school will set up a long-term disaster volunteer club, and I plan to sign up right away.
( )26. What directly led to the landslide in Green Hills Village
A. A powerful earthquake.
B. Non-stop heavy rain for seven days.
C. Excessive tree cutting on mountains.
第 4页共 11页
D. Sudden melting mountain snow.
( )27. What did students learn in the pre-volunteer training
A. How to rebuild damaged wooden houses.
B. Professional medical treatment for serious wounds.
C. Safe rock clearing and simple first-aid knowledge.
D. How to drive rescue transport vehicles.
( )28. What was the duty of Group Two
A. Clearing the blocked main highway of the village.
B. Distributing supplies to villagers living in tents.
C. Checking potential secondary geological disasters.
D. Planting new trees on the bare hillside.
( )29. What can we learn about the old grandma
A. She lost all her family members in the landslide.
B. She was grateful that her family stayed safe and sound.
C. She refused the supplies offered by student volunteers.
D. She planned to move away from the mountain village forever.
( )30. Why does the writer want to join the school volunteer club
A. To earn extra scores for geography courses.
B. To gain more experience in disaster volunteer service.
C. To take free professional driving lessons from firemen.
D. To rebuild the buried vegetable gardens for villagers.

The Value of Emergency Survival Kits
When learning Unit 9 Forces of Nature, our English teacher asked each student to prepare a
personal emergency survival kit and share it in class. Most students only put snacks and bottled
water in their bags at first, but after watching disaster rescue videos, we realized what real
emergency supplies should include.
A standard emergency kit is designed for sudden natural disasters such as floods, sandstorms,
volcanic ash falls and earthquakes. It should support one person’s basic needs for at least 72 hours,
because professional rescue teams usually take three days to reach remote disaster areas. First,
drinking water and high-energy food like nuts, dried beef and energy bars are necessary. Canned
food needs a can opener, which many people easily forget to prepare. Second, medical items are
essential: bandages, antiseptic liquid, painkillers and medicine for personal chronic illnesses.
第 5页共 11页
Besides food and medicine, tools and communication equipment cannot be ignored. A
hand-cranked flashlight works without batteries, which is much more reliable than common electric
torches that run out of power quickly. A loud emergency whistle can help rescuers find your
position when you are trapped under ruins. A waterproof notebook and pencil allow you to write
down important information such as family phone numbers and personal medical history. Some
students added disposable raincoats and thick gloves to protect themselves from sharp broken
objects and bad weather.
Some classmates argued that emergency kits were useless because natural disasters rarely
happen in our city. However, our teacher explained that preparation does not mean waiting for
disasters, but learning self-rescue ability. Last winter, a heavy snowstorm blocked city roads for two
days; families with emergency supplies lived much more comfortably than those without. Preparing
survival kits helps us respect the power of nature and stay calm in unexpected dangerous situations.
( )31. What was students’ initial mistake when preparing kits
A. They made the kits too heavy to carry outdoors.
B. They only filled kits with food and drinking water simply.
C. They put too much expensive electronic equipment inside.
D. They copied other classmates’ kit contents completely.
( )32. Why should emergency kits support 72-hour survival
A. National law sets this standard for middle school students.
B. Most natural disasters last exactly three days on average.
C. Rescuers may spend three days arriving at remote disaster zones.
D. Human bodies can only survive three days without fresh supplies.
( )33. Which tool is the best choice for power-free lighting
A. Battery-powered flashlights.
B. Hand-cranked flashlights.
C. Mobile phone screen lights.
D. Candle lamps with open fire.
( )34. What is the teacher’s opinion on emergency kits
A. They are totally unnecessary for cities with few disasters.
B. They train students’ self-rescue skills against natural disasters.
C. They should only be prepared by families living in mountain areas.
D. Students must take their kits with them every school day.
( )35. What type of writing is this passage
A. A class activity report.

B. A science fiction story.
C. A travel journal.
D. A product advertisement.

From Fear to Understanding: Studying Volcanic Activity
Volcanic eruptions are one of the most shocking forces of nature. For centuries, human beings
feared volcanoes because sudden eruptions could bury towns under lava and volcanic ash, destroy
farmland and pollute air for hundreds of kilometers. With the development of geological science,
scientists no longer only fear volcanoes but study them carefully to discover their hidden value.
Volcanoes form when high-temperature magma under the earth’s crust breaks through weak
rock layers on the surface. Active volcanoes may erupt at any time, while dormant volcanoes have
not erupted for hundreds of years but still have potential risks, and extinct volcanoes will never
erupt again. Geologists use temperature sensors, gas detectors and ground vibration monitors to
track active volcanoes. They can forecast possible eruptions weeks or even months ahead, giving
local residents enough time to evacuate safely.
Though volcanic eruptions bring short-term destruction, they create long-term natural
advantages. Volcanic rock weathers into extremely fertile soil rich in minerals. Many famous
agricultural regions around the world are built on volcanic soil, producing high-quality fruits,
grapes and grains. Volcanic hot springs carry dissolved minerals, which are good for human skin
and physical relaxation. In Iceland, people even use volcanic geothermal heat to warm houses and
generate clean electricity, greatly reducing fossil fuel consumption.
In our Unit 11 project task, we were divided into groups to make posters about volcanoes. My
group focused on volcanic disaster prevention measures, including staying away from low-lying
lava flow areas, covering mouths and noses with wet cloth against ash smoke, and following official
evacuation routes instead of running blindly. This project changed my old view: nature’s powerful
forces are not just enemies of humans. If we learn scientific knowledge, observe natural rules and
make reasonable preparations, we can live in harmony with volcanoes and other natural phenomena.
( )36. Why did ancient people fear volcanic eruptions
A. Volcanoes produced terrible loud noises continuously.
B. Eruptions would destroy living areas and pollute wide areas.
C. Volcanic magma could change local climate permanently.
D. No plant could grow on land affected by volcanoes forever.
( )37. What equipment do scientists use to predict volcanic eruptions
A. Weather balloons and rainfall gauges.
第 7页共 11页
B. Ground vibration monitors and gas detectors.
C. Telescope cameras and seawater testers.
D. Wind speed meters and soil moisture sensors.
( )38. What benefit does volcanic soil bring
A. It can stop flood water from spreading.
B. It is highly fertile for crop planting.
C. It can be made into building bricks directly.
D. It absorbs harmful gases in the air.
( )39. Which safety measure is correct during a volcanic eruption
A. Run down to low valleys to avoid volcanic ash.
B. Breathe fresh air without any covering on the face.
C. Leave dangerous areas along official evacuation paths.
D. Stay at home and watch lava flows through open windows.
( )40. What is the theme of the passage
A. The formation, influence and human coping methods of volcanoes.
B. Different types of natural geological disasters on Earth.
C. How students finish English project posters at school.
D. Clean energy developed from all natural forces.

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。
Last month, our city experienced a strong sandstorm, which made me realize the great power
of natural forces. Before that day, I only learned about sandstorms in Unit 9 textbooks and thought
they were far away from my daily life.
Early in the morning, the sky turned dark yellow suddenly. Strong winds 41 street trees and
blew plastic bags everywhere. My mother quickly closed all doors and windows, and covered
window gaps with wet towels to stop sand from 42. indoors. My father took out our family
emergency kit, which we had prepared after the school safety lecture. Inside there were bottled
water, high-energy biscuits, bandages and a hand-cranked flashlight 43.batteries.
At school, teachers canceled outdoor PE class and organized us to review sandstorm
self-rescue knowledge. Our geography teacher told us that sandstorms mainly form because of
long-time drought and serious soil erosion. Human activities such as overgrazing and blind tree
cutting 44.worsen this natural disaster. Many students took notes carefully, because we understood
that knowing prevention skills was much more 45. than only reading textbook sentences.
第 8页共 11页
In the afternoon, the sandstorm weakened slowly. We walked home with masks covering our
noses and mouths. On the way, we saw street cleaners working hard to 46.sand piles on roads.
Some community volunteers helped the elderly clean sand from their balconies. I joined them
without hesitation, and my desk mate 47 me together. We spent one hour sweeping the sidewalk,
tired but satisfied.
This unusual experience changed my attitude toward forces of nature. I used to think natural
disasters were just exam topics, but now I know they can directly influence public safety. Our class
decided to start a small environmental project: we would make leaflets about 48 sandstorm risks
and hand them out in the community on weekends. We also planned to plant saplings on the hills on
the city edge to 49 soil and reduce wind damage.
Teachers told us teenagers could not stop natural disasters alone, but we could do small things
to lower risks. Saving water, protecting green plants and learning disaster skills are simple actions,
yet they make a big 50 . From Unit 9 to Unit 11, every lesson about nature teaches us to respect
natural rules, instead of trying to control powerful natural forces blindly.
Several weeks later, we held a class speech contest about natural disaster prevention. I wrote
my speech based on the sandstorm experience and won the third prize. When standing on the
platform, I told classmates that understanding nature is the best way to 51 ourselves. Many
students said they would prepare personal emergency kits and take part in environmental volunteer
activities.
Life always brings unexpected natural challenges. Textbook knowledge builds our theoretical
foundation, while real-life experiences 52.our practical abilities. We should not wait for disasters to
arrive before making preparations. Instead, we should take action 53 so that we can keep safe
when thunderstorms, floods or sandstorms come.
Finally, I keep my mask and emergency whistle in my schoolbag every day as a 54.It reminds
me never to ignore the power of nature and always stay ready. Studying Units 9-11 does not only
improve my English grades, but also shapes my safety awareness, which is the most 55. lesson I
have learned this term.
