A
In the United States,more than 90 people died across six southern states when strong winds known as tornadoes destroyed homes,office buildings and religious centers on Friday night.Victor Gensini,a weather scientist at Northern Illinois University,called the tornado that traveled hundreds of miles on Friday “Remarkable”.He said the tornado traveled about 300 kilometers.Normally,tornadoes die out in minutes,he said,but this one lasted for hours.He said the storm moved as fast as a car going down a large roadway.
Such weather events do happen in December,but they do not happen often this time of year because the temperature on the ground is not so different from that high in the sky.However,people in Kentucky said the air was warm and wet on Friday.Weather scientists said the mix of the warm and cold air can create “instability(不稳定)” which produces storms and the fast,spinning(旋转的) winds of tornadoes.
The question is whether the deadly storm came because of climate change.The weather scientists are not completely sure.Gensini said strong winds are common in the winter,but they do not create tornadoes because the air close to the Earth is also cold.Harold Brooks studies tornadoes at the National Severe Storms Laboratory.While the US has more tornadoes than any other country,tornadoes only form once out of every 10 strong storms.As a result,he said,it is hard to say if the winter tornadoes have something to do with climate change.Gensini,however,said the conditions for strong storms are becoming more common in the winter as the planet warms up.
Jason Furtado,a scientist at the University of Oklahoma,said in the past tornadoes happened more often during warm days in the summer.However,as the winter becomes warmer,especially in the southern US,the tornado season will change.More will happen in the winter and fewer will happen in the summer.He said people who live in places like Kentucky,which suffered the most from Friday’s storms,are now living in an area where tornadoes are common.
1.What can be learned about the tornado “Remarkable”
A.It is the worst one on record.
B.It lasted for only minutes.
C.It was quite damaging.
D.It only traveled along the roadway.
2.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A.What is the cause of the tornadoes.
B.Why the weather changes in December.
C.How special the weather is in December.
D.What were people’s attitudes to the tornado on Friday night.
3.Which of the following may Harold Brooks agree with
A.A strong storm usually grows into a tornado.
B.Winter tornadoes will be a common thing in the US.
C.The US has more tornadoes in winter than any other country.
D.The connection between winter tornadoes and climate change is unknown.
4.How will tornadoes change according to Jason Furtado
A.They will last longer and longer.
B.They will become weaker in Kentucky.
C.They will happen less often in the summer.
D.They will travel faster in colder months.
B
Do you know how to prepare for and survive a major earthquake According to Department of Conservation scientists,it is important to have the right answer to that question.
How to Be Prepared
Electricity,water,gas and telephones may not be working after an earthquake.The police and fire departments are likely to be tied up.You should be prepared to fend for yourself for at least three days,preferably for a week.You’ll need food,water and so on.It’s also a good idea to decide ahead of time how and where your family will reunite if separated during a quake.You might choose an out-of-the-area friend or relative that family members can call to check on you.
If you’re indoors,stay there.Get under a desk or table.The kitchen is a particularly dangerous spot.If you’re in an office building,stay away from windows and outside walls and do not use the elevator.If you’re outside,get into the open.Stay clear of buildings,power lines or anything else that could fall on you.If you’re driving,move the car out of traffic and stop.Avoid parking under or on bridges or overpasses.
After an Earthquake
Check for fire.If you smell gas,shut off the main gas valve(阀).If there’s sign of damage to electrical wiring,shut off the power at the control box.If the phone is working,only use it in case of emergency.Avoid driving if possible to keep the streets clear for emergency vehicles.Be careful that things may fall out of cupboards when the door is opened,and also that chimneys can be weakened and fall with just a touch.Listen to the radio for important information and instructions.Remember that aftershocks,sometimes large enough to cause damage in their own right,generally follow large quakes.If you leave home,leave a message telling your friends and family your location.
5.What does the underlined phrase “fend for” in the second paragraph probably mean
A.Look for. B.Take care of.
C.Be proud of. D.Think of.
6.What should you do when an earthquake happens
A.You should stay away from the kitchen.
B.You should drive on a bridge.
C.You should turn off the power.
D.You should listen to the radio frequently.
7.According to the passage,why doesn’t the author advise driving after an earthquake
A.Because it is dangerous to drive as there will be aftershocks.
B.Because your car will be easily damaged in the streets full of blocks.
C.Because you should make way for emergency vehicles.
D.Because you can’t find a place to park your car.
8.What will probably happen after a big earthquake
A.The local people’s life will return to normal in a week.
B.There will be more earthquakes occurring.
C.There won’t be any earthquakes in a short time.
D.The local people will stay at home waiting for help.
C
It was June 8,1816 and it was early summer in Vermont,US.Yet,a wild winter snowstorm was going on.Nearly a foot of snow covered the fields which had been planted with crops only weeks before.This storm would kill all of the crops.At the time,people struggled to understand what had caused the weather to change so wildly.It is only now,more than 200 years later,that scientists have finally solved the mystery.The cause of the extreme weather was an event that took place a year earlier and 10,000 miles away.It all started with a volcano called Mount Tambora.
Mount Tambora sits on the island of Sumbawa,a beautiful land with rushing streams,gentle hills,and thick jungles,in Indonesia.Nobody had any reason to think the peaceful mountain was in fact a volcano.It had been asleep for centuries,but on April 5,1815,Tambora woke up.
The first eruption shook the island and sent up streams of fire and ash.But that was nothing compared with what would come five days later,on April 10.The volcano exploded with a huge cloud of gas,fire and ash shot high into the sky.The day turned midnight black,but the mountain turned red as rivers of lava(岩浆)flowed down the mountain.
The eruption went on for more than three days,which instantly killed at least 12,000 people living on and around Mount Tambora.Ash and lava ruined the island’s soil and poisoned its rivers and streams.Rice fields were destroyed.No fruits or vegetables would grow.
There were no fish to catch;almost every animal had been killed.The eruption of Tambora in 1815 was the deadliest and most powerful volcanic eruption in human history.
9.Why did it snow heavily in Vermont in the summer of 1816
A.Vermont was located in the southern part of the Earth.
B.Vermont had serious environmental pollution.
C.A faraway volcano erupted a year earlier.
D.A huge earthquake hit Vermont.
10.What’s the purpose of the first paragraph
A.To lead in the topic.
B.To present an argument.
C.To introduce Vermont.
D.To explain the cause of a volcano.
11.When did Mount Tambora start erupting
A.On June 8,1816.
B.On April 13,1816.
C.On April 5,1815.
D.On April 10,1815.
12.What’s the main idea of the last paragraph
A.The process of the eruption was made up of three stages.
B.Tambora asleep for centuries woke up in the end.
C.The eruption of Tambora broke a historic record.
D.The eruption of Tambora led to a terrible disaster.
