There is an old phrase “calm before the storm”， often used in a situationa quiet period just before a great activity

12、 or excitement. According to our own experience, we know there is actually calm before the storm. But what causes this calm? And is it always calm before the storm? Lets hear what scientists have to say.A period of calm happens in a particular kind of storm, the simplest kind of storma singlecell th

13、understorm. In this type of thunderstorm, there is usually only one main updraft, which is warm, damp air and drawn from places near the ground. Storms need warm and damp air as fuel, so they typically draw that air in from surrounding environment. Storms can draw in the air that fit their need from

14、 all directionseven from the direction in which the storm is traveling.As the warm, damp air is pulled into a storm system, it leaves a lowpressure vacuum(真空) coming after. The rising air meets the cold dry air that has already existed in the storm clouds, thus the temperature of the warm, damp air

15、drops, and the water vapour(水蒸汽) in it changes into tiny drops that are a precondition of rain. These drops accumulate and build on larger particles like dust, until they grow large enough to form raindrops.This warm, damp air keeps moving upwards, but it becomes cooler and drier during its trip thr

16、ough cloud. When it reaches the top of the cloud, the air gets spit out(被擠出) at the top. This air is sent rolling out over the big thunderclouds. From there, the air goes down. Warm and dry air is relatively stable, and once it covers a region, that air, in turn, causes the calm before a storm.Most

17、thunderstorms, though, dont start with calm. Thats because most are actually groups of storms with complex wind patterns. Theres so much air moving up and down storm groups that the calm before the storm never happens. Instead, before the storm, it might be really windy!1、Which best fits the descrip

18、tion of a particular kind of storm?AA storm with air drawn from every direction.BA thunderstorm without strong winds.CA thunderstorm with a single shape.DA storm fueled by moving air from the ground.2、What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?ACold and dry air.BWarm and damp air.CCo

19、ld and damp air.DWarm and dry air.3、Which does the writer most likely agree to?APresence of the calm relies on stable air.BStorm happens without air moving up and down.CThe drier the air is, the bigger the storm will be.DNot all thunderstorms start with the calm.4、What is the passage mainly about?AC

20、auses and effects of a heavy storm.BAn explanation of the calm before a storm.CA personal experience of a heavy storm.DA brief description of a peaceful storm.22（8分）Recently the sewer line (污水管道) under our house didnt work. My first response was to call a repairman.made the call, expecting the man a

21、t the other end of the line to complain about such an awful job. Instead, he simply asked, “The address?”An hour later Steve arrived in his truck. He looked exactly as I had imagined he might: broad and bearlike, in well-worn clothing. “Can you fix it?”I asked with a mixture of doubt and hope. Steve

22、 looked at me as if responding to my lack of faith. With a cheerful shrug that suggested my crisis was all in a days work for him, he said, “Sure.”After a short while, Steve told me that he had to get a tool and tear up the street to the main sewer line. He would first have to get permission from th

23、e town. I registered appropriate panic. “How long will all this take?”Again, a shrug. “I should have it done by evening.”I did not want to watch the digging of my property unfold and went into town to visit some fiends. I felt somewhat guilty upon driving off in my clean vehicle, leaving Steve to su

24、ch a disagreeable task. Finally, when I went home, a sweeter sight I never saw; a period of newly paved street and all was tidy and relatively dry.I need to say, in my own defense, that I am not a weak father of two children. Ive traveled all over the world, served in the United States Navy and earn

25、ed a PhDBut the broken sewer line was my limit. Then I thought about Steve. Big, rough, and how people might judge him, if not for his appearance then for his work. And I was taken by the very idea that, no matter what crisis occurs, there is somebody, somewhere, who has the appropriate tools and se

30、e film. The best source of illumination for movie production was nature sunlight.

31、t more difficult for Thomas Edison to enforce his film patents. At that time, Edison owned almost all the patents relevant to film production. As a result, in the East, movie producers acting independently out of Edisons Motion Picture Patents Company were often accused by Edison. But in Los Angeles

32、, things were different. If he sent his men to California, word would usually reach Los Angeles before they did and the movie makers could escape to nearby Mexico.In 1911, a second movie studioNestor Studios, was founded.

Using solar

38、energy can have a positive, indirect effect on the environment, when solar energy replaces or reduces the use of other energy sources that have larger effects on the environment.However, some poisonous materials and chemicals are used to make the photovoltaic ( 光電池的) cells that convert sunlight into

39、 electricity. Some solar thermal (保熱的) systems use potentially hazardous liquids to transfer heat. Leaks of these materials could be harmful to the environment. U. S. environmental laws regulate the use and settlement of these types of materials.As with any type of power plant, large solar power pla

40、nts can affect the environment near their locations. The placement of the power plant may have long-term effects on the habitats of native plants and animals. Some solar power plants may require water for cleaning solar collectors and concentrators or for cooling turbine generators. Using large volu

41、mes of ground water or surface water in some dry locations may affect the ecosystems that depend on these water resources. In addition, the beam of concentrated sunlight a solar power tower creates can kill birds and insects that fly into the beam.The amount of solar energy that the earth receives e

42、ach day is many times greater than the total amount of all energy that people consume each day. However, on the surface of the earth, solar energy is a variable and irregular energy source.
