It is usually used to describe a peaceful period just before a very stress

11、ful situation or a tense argument.British sailors coined the phrase in the late 1600s; they noted that before certain storms the seas would seem to become still and the winds would drop.Science has given us the reason. According to US website How Stuff Works, a calm period occurs because many storms

12、, tornadoes and hurricanes draw in all the warm and humid (湿热的) air from the surrounding area. As this air rises into the storm clouds, it cools and acts as “fuel for the storm, like petrol in a car”. Once the storm has taken all the energy it can from the air, it is pushed out from the top of the s

13、torm clouds and falls back down to ground level. As the air goes down, it becomes warm and dry. Warm and dry air is stable, so once it covers an area, it causes a calm period before the storm. This same process also causes the “eye of the storm” in hurricanes and tornadoes. In these conditions, the

14、calm occurs in the center of the storm because of the strong rotating (旋转的) winds.The Weather Network has a tip for working out how far away a storm is. First count how many seconds there are between a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder, roughly three seconds equal one kilometer. So, for examp

15、le, if you count nine seconds, the storm is about three kilometers away. A good method is that if your count is below 30 seconds, you should seek shelter straight away.However, due to the complexity of storm system, not all storms take place after calm. Given the right conditions, some storms announ

16、ce themselves with heavy rain and fierce winds.So, your best bet is to keep yourself updated with weather reports for any predictions regarding a coming storm in your area. Thats the most reliable way to predict the next display (展示) of natures temper (脾气)1What is the function of Paragraph 3?ATo des

Why is the Golden State so flammable?There are three reasons why California has been surrounded by flames. First, the climate is b

21、ecoming warmer. This has led to snow melting earlier, drier landscapes and a longer season when fires are likely to occur.The second reason is that more people live in flammable places. Since the 1990s 60% of new homes in California, Washington and Oregon have been built in spaces next to nature. Th

22、ese areas, which environmentalists call the “wildlandurban interface”， are at higher risk of wildfire.The third reason is that there is more fuel. Before western settlers arrived, fires used to happen often and naturally, which made less fuel available for future fires. For the past century fires ha

23、ve been controlled well. This has led to a buildup of dry brush, and makes the average wildfire much likelier to turn into a big one.Putting out the flame is the most immediate task for California, but not the last. Many survivors will want to rebuild their homes exactly where they were. Californian

Nearly 50 people were confirmed dead and over 200 missing.”可知，第一段画线部分“Six of the ten most destructive fires in Californias history have occurred in t

46、he past decade. Last year was the most destructive year on record，until this year.(加州历史上10次破坏性最强的火灾中有6次发生在过去10年。直到今年为止，去年是有记录以来破坏性最大的一年。)”的意思是“加利福尼亚最近发生的大火破坏性很强。”。故选B。7答案与解析：D主旨大意题。根据文章前两段中的“Why is the Golden State so flammable？”和“There are three reasons why California has been surrounded by flames.

47、”可知本文讲述了加州是一个容易遭受毁灭性火灾的地方，并给出了发生火灾的原因。故选D。8答案与解析：C推理判断题。文章第一段在事实的叙述中提出问题“Why is the Golden State so flammable？”，第二到四段叙述火灾的三个理由“There are three reasons why California has been surrounded by flames.”，第五段概括总结针对火灾将采取的措施。故选C。.七选五【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了泰坦尼克号的航行以及沉没。1答案与解析：E根据上文“On 10 April 1912，an amazing，imp
