But sometimes, when the wind becomes a storm, it can be very destructive(具有破壞性的). A series of such storms

33、 struck the US last month and caused very serious damage and human pain.Every year, major storms cause many problems around the world. There is nothing people can do to stop these powerful forces of nature. But new techniques are helping scientists to predict(預(yù)測) how, when, and where big storms will

34、 happen. The more exact scientists warnings are, the better people can prepare for the storms.Predictions are improving. “Were gotten better over the years, especially the last few years,” says Phil Klotzbach, a scientist at an American university. How is a storm formed? Even if scientists know wher

35、e a storm will happen, winds can suddenly change, carrying the storm to a new direction. “For a hurricane to happen, conditions have to be just right, ” Klotzbach says.First, the ocean water needs to be warm enough so that it evaporates and rises into the air. As it rises, the vapor（水蒸氣）cools and tu

36、rns back into liquid. This process gives off heat. This produces energy like an engine that causes winds to increase. It drives the formation(形成) of a hurricane.If wind speeds reach 40 miles per hour, the system is called a “tropical storm”(熱帶風(fēng)暴), and it gets a name. At 75 miles per hour, it becomes

37、 a hurricane.Hurricanes that hit the US start when a thunderstorm forms off the coast of Africa. Storms also develop over tropical waters in other parts of the world.On average, 60 or 70 storms form off Africa every year. About 10 of them get names. There are usually about six hurricanes. Two tend t

38、o be very big, with winds of 115 miles per hour or higher.The hurricane season lasts from June to November. Ninety percent of all hurricanes hit in August, September, and October. 49. According to the passage, hurricanes usually _.A. form off the coast of Africa and AmericaB. travel at 40 miles per

39、hour and get its nameC. cause sea winds to rise and blow over the seaD. hit parts of the world in summer and autumn50. The underlined word “evaporates” probably means “_”.A. begins to move B. gets lost C. becomes hot D. changes into gas51. Which of the following about the information of a hurricane

40、is the correct order?a. The ocean water evaporates and goes into the air. b. Heat creates energy and causes winds to increase. c. The vapor cools. d. The ocean water is warm enough. e. The vapor changes back into liquid. f. This course gives out heat.A.a, d, e, b, c, f B.a, b, c, f, d, e C.d, a, c,

41、e, f, b D.d, a, b, c, e, f52.According to the passage, the speed of the biggest two hurricanes reaches _.A.115 miles per hour B.110 miles per hourC.75 miles per hour D.95 miles per hour DExpressions about water are almost as common as water itself. But many of the expressions using water have unplea

42、sant meanings. The expression “to be in hot water” is one of them. It is a very old expression. “Hot water” was used five hundred years ago to mean being in trouble. One story says it got that meaning from the custom of throwing extremely hot water down on enemies attacking a castle. That no longer

43、happens. But we still get in “hot water”. When we are in “hot water”, we are in trouble. It can be any kind of trouble-serious, and not so serious. A person who breaks a law can be in hot water with the police. A young boy can be in hot water with his mother, if he comes into the house with dirty sh

44、oes. Being in “deep water” is almost the same as being in hot water. When you are in “deep water”, you are in a difficult position. Imagine a person who cannot swim being thrown into water over his head. You are in deep water when you are facing a problem that you do not have the ability to solve. Y

45、ou can be in deep water, for example, if you invest(投資) in stocks(股票) without knowing anything about the stock market. “To keep your head above water” is a colorful expression that means staying out of debt. A company seeks to keep its head above water during economic hard times. A man who loses his

46、 job tries to keep his head above water until he finds a new job. “Water over the dam” is another expression about a past event. It is something that is finished. It cannot be changed. The expression comes from the idea that water which has flowed over a dam cannot be brought back again.53. The pass

47、age mainly tells us _ .A. the importance of water in our life B. some expressions about water C. some sad stories about water D. some lessons about daily life 54.

48、re in deep water C. Keep your head above water D. It is water over the dam55Two of the phrases “to be in hot water” “to be in deep water” mentioned in the passage have the same meaning of “ _ ”.A. to be in debt B. to be in difficulty C. to be uselessD. to be out of water56. Which of the following ex

49、pressions is a bit different from the others in meaning?A. To be in hot water. B. To be in deep water. C. To keep your head above water. D. Water over the dam.E Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave pe

50、ople with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relieve these experiences in nightmare(夢魘). Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They ho

51、pe it might reduce, or possibly erase(抹去) the effect of painful memories. In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may b

52、e reduced, not that the memories are erased. The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from

53、terrible memories. “Some memories can ruin peoples lives. They come back to you when you dont want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman, a professor of Psychiatry(精神病學(xué)) at Harvard Medical School. “This could relieve a lot of that s

54、uffering.”But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity(特質(zhì)). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. Im not sure we want to wipe those memories out,” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist(倫理學(xué)家).57. The passage is mainly about_.A. a new medical invention B. a new research on the pillC. a way of erasing painful memories D. an argument about the research on the pill58. The drug tested
