Question

【題目】 Maybe you know floods, droughts, earthquakes, sandstorms and so on. But have you ever heard of typhoons(臺(tái)風(fēng))?

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(蒸發(fā)) into the air. This makes the air hotter. When the air gets warm enough, it starts to move higher up into the sky. Then, cooler air 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, 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 meters 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. This is where the strongest winds and hardest rains are.

Typhoons are very dangerous. In 2004, Typhoon Yunna killed 164 people in Zhejiang, and 24 people were missing. In May 2006, Typhoon Pearl hit Guangdong and Fujian, and thousands of houses were damaged(毀壞).

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 so right away.

【解析】

文章大意：短文主要敘述了臺(tái)風(fēng)的形成、危害以及如何防范。

【1】主旨大意題。根據(jù)文中第三段的敘述可知，臺(tái)風(fēng)主要發(fā)生在熱的季節(jié)，故答案為A。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中Stay inside, Close all the windows and stay away from them.待在房子里面，關(guān)閉所有的窗戶并遠(yuǎn)離它們可知，故答案為C。

【3】主旨大意題。短文主要敘述了臺(tái)風(fēng)的形成、危害以及如何防范，故答案為A。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中The warmer the air gets, the quicker the wind moves.空氣變得越溫暖，風(fēng)移動(dòng)得越快，故A錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)文中In May 2006, Typhoon Pearl hit Guangdong and Fujian, and thousands of houses were damaged(毀壞).在2006年五月，Typhoon Pearl襲擊了廣東和福建，數(shù)千所房屋被毀可知，故B錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)文中The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye. This is where the strongest winds and hardest rains are.另一部分是眼周圍的云墻。這是最強(qiáng)風(fēng)和最大雨所在之地可知，故C錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)文中And when the wind moves faster than 30 meters a second, a typhoon begins.當(dāng)風(fēng)速超過每秒30米時(shí)，臺(tái)風(fēng)形成可知，故D正確。故答案為D。
