(2013·安庆高一调研)Tornadoes(龙卷风) are nature's most violent storms,which can cause deaths and destroy a neighborhood in seconds.A tornado appears as a rotating,funnel(漏斗)-shaped cloud that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground with whirling winds that can reach 300 miles per hour.Damage paths can be over one mile wide and 50 miles long.Every state is at some risk from this disaster.
Some tornadoes can be seen clearly,while rain or nearby low-hanging clouds obscure others.At many times,tornadoes develop so rapidly that little,if any,advance warning is possible.
Before a tornado hits,the air may become very still.A cloud of debris(散片)can mark the location of a tornado even if a funnel can not be seen.Tornadoes generally occur near the edge of a thunderstorm,when the strong wind may die down.It is not uncommon to see clear,sunlit skies behind a tornado.
The following are facts about tornadoes:
☆The average forward speed of a tornado is 30 MPH,but may also vary from still to 70 MPH.Debris are picked up or a cloud forms in the funnel.
☆The average tornado moves southwest to northeast,but tornadoes have been known to move in any direction.Tornadoes are most often reported east of the Rocky Mountains during spring and summer months.
☆Tornadoes can happen together with tropical storms and hurricanes as they move onto land.Waterspouts are tornadoes that form over water.
☆Peak tornado season in the southern states of America is March through May; in the northern states,it is late spring through early summer.Tornadoes are most likely to occur between 3 p.m. and 9 p.m.,but can occur at any time.
6.From the passage,we can learn that tornadoes come from________.
A.hurricanes B.great heat
C.thunderstorms B.sandstorms
7.What does the underlined word “obscure” probably mean?
A.hide B.reduce
C.produce B.raise
8.Which of the following scenes may not be seen before the coming of a tornado?
A.The wind may die down.
B.A clear and sunlit sky may appear.
C.The air may become still.
D.Its position may be marked by clouds.
9.When a tornado happens,________.
A.it can only be seen in the late of the day
B.it only moves from southwest to northeast
C.it may form over sea water
D.it often reaches the speed of 70 MPH
10.The passage makes us believe that________.
A.warnings about tornadoes are well developed in many countries
B.of all the natural disasters,tornadoes often cause the smallest damage
C.tornadoes are mostly seen in the southern states of America
D.tornadoes may strike so quickly that there is often little or no warning
