You may know the English letters A, B and C. But do you know there are people called ABCs? Do you know there is such a thing as “a banana person”? How strange! ABC means American-born Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States. Sometimes, people call an ABC a “banana person”. A banana is yellow outside. So, when a person is a “banana”, he or she is white inside—thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside—looking like a Chinese.
Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them don’t speak Chinese. But if ABCs cannot speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are overseas(海外的)Chinese. These people may be citizens(公民)of another country like the US, Canada or Singapore. But they have Chinese blood. Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair.
But they are not Chinese citizens. They are people of the People’s Republic of China. For example, we all know the famous scientist C. N. Yang(杨振宁). He got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen.
“ABCs” in this passage means               .

A.three English letters
B.a kind of banana
C.Chinese born in America
D.Americans born in China

Chinese in Western countries are called “banana persons” because               .

A.their bodies are white inside but yellow outside
B.they think like Westerners but look like Chinese
C.they were born in China but go to study in America
D.they like to eat bananas

The underlined word “blood” may probably mean               .

A.洪水 B.祖先 C.血统 D.身份

Which of the sentences is WRONG about ABCs?

A.ABCs may know little about China.
B.They are overseas Chinese.
C.They may speak little Chinese.
D.They are Chinese citizens.

This passage mainly talks about               .
A. different kinds of bananas                   B. overseas Chinese
C. the Nobel Prize                          D. the story of C.N. Yang

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.
This passage is most probably from               .  

A.an advertisement of a typhoon B.a travel record
C.a weather report D.a science magazine

Typhoons often happen               .

A.in the hot season B.in the cold season C.only in China D.under the sea

In which order(顺序)does a typhoon happen?
a. The wind moves fast enough, a typhoon starts.
b. The air moves quickly, making wind.
c. The sun makes sea water hot.
d. The air gets warmer.

A.d-c-b-a B.c-d-b-a C.c-d-a-b D.d-b-a-c

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.The warmer the air gets, the slower the wind moves.
B.5500 people died because of Typhoon Haiyan around the world.
C.The strongest winds and hardest rains are in the wall of clouds.
D.A typhoon will not happen before the wind goes faster than 30 km a second.

When a typhoon comes, we CANNOT                .

A.close all the windows
B.listen to typhoon news
C.stay inside the strong house
D.go outside to find a safer place
