Sometimes when heavy rain falls on you, it may bring you a little pain. Have you ever thought about what happens when big raindrops hit (撞击) a small mosquito (蚊子) A study says a raindrop hitting a mosquito is just like a bus hitting a person. In heavy rain, mosquitoes get hit by raindrops about once every 20 seconds. Even so, you can hardly see many dead mosquitoes after rain. How do these little insects stay alive when big raindrops fall on them
A mosquito is nearly as big as a raindrop, but it is very light—only about 0.002g. This helps it stay safe when raindrops hit it. Because the mosquito is so light, the raindrop will not give it a strong enough push to kill it.
The study also finds: when a raindrop hits a mosquito, the raindrop pushes the insect, and they fall down together. Luckily, water does not easily get onto the mosquito’s body. There are many small hairs all over its body, and the hairs keep water away. After falling about 6 cm, the mosquito can roll (滚) off the raindrop and fly away fast.
Still, this good way does not work every time. If the mosquito flies very near the ground when a raindrop hits it, it has no time to get away. It will hit the ground hard and die.
7. How often does a mosquito get hit by raindrops in heavy rain
A. About once every 20 seconds. B. About once every 0.002 minutes.
C. About once every 6 seconds.
8. What two things help mosquitoes stay safe from raindrops
A. Big body size and strong wings. B. Light weight and small hairs on its body.
C. Fast flying speed and strong legs.
9. When may a mosquito lose its life on rainy days
A. When it falls together with a raindrop for 3cm.
B. When it flies very near the ground while being hit.
C. When much water gets onto its body.
10. What is the main idea of the passage
A. To tell us why heavy rain brings people pain.
B. To talk about different kinds of small flying insects.
C. To explain why most mosquitoes do not die in the rain.

四、读写综合
第一节 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
It was last summer holiday. We just moved into a new apartment. Our old house was beautiful and big. How about now It was small and crowded (拥挤的). There were still boxes everywhere.
The day after the move, Mum and Dad went to work, so I opened some boxes and hung up the family photos on the wall. But it just didn’t feel like home. Then I came up with an idea. Perhaps I could make some chocolate biscuits, just like what my grandma used to do whenever I felt sad.
However, when I added eggs to the mixer (搅拌机), it suddenly stopped working. “How could it be ” I felt like crying. “What would Grandma do when facing this ” I thought. During those hard times, she did everything she could to support the family. I didn’t think Grandma would give up easily. Instead, she—would find another way. So I ran to the boxes to hunt for Grandma’s old, white mixer. Finally, I found it. I turned it on, but nothing happened. The old mixer was broken too and seemed hard to get repaired (维修), just like my life these days.
“Come on. Try again,” a small voice inside my heart said. I turned the switch back on. To my surprise, the mixer started to work slowly.
Two hours later, Mum opened the door. “Wow, biscuits! Thank you, Lily. ” she said with tears in her eyes. For the first time, our new home felt like a real one. It even smelt like home just like Grandma’s house always did.
This house probably wasn’t like our old one. But then again, maybe home wasn’t just where we lived. It was where we shared the sweet moments and the small magic every day, like a broken mixer that worked again when I needed comfort most.

第二节 书面表达
A helper at Home
As a Grade 8 student, I regularly do several chores at home. Every morning, I water the flowers on the balcony, and after dinner, I help do the dishes. On weekends, I take out the rubbish and sometimes look after my pet dog. Through these activities, I have learned practical life skills, like how to take care of plants and keep things organized. Doing housework also lets me spend more quality time with my family. For instance, when I fold clothes with my mom, we often talk about our daily experiences, which strengthens our bond. It teaches me that every family member should contribute to the home, and small efforts make the house a warm, loving place.
