二、新的题型
17. Tornadoes
Tornadoes are essentially funnels of air rotating as fast as 300 miles per hour. Of course, not all tornadoes are so dangerous.6_____________ Such small tornadoes occur in many places around the world, even in southern Taiwan, where several are usually
reported every spring.
It is, however, the big tornadoes that receive the most attention. 7_____________ There can be flocks of dead birds dropping out of the sky, chickens still alive but with all of their feathers gone, pieces of straw stuck in trees. In a 1999 US storm, violent winds from one tornado lifted a church into the air and dropped it onto a house. In the same storm, a baby was whipped from its mother’s arms and, miraculously, found alive in a nearby tree.
8______________ Although scientists now know a great deal about tornadoes, they still cannot determine exactly when and where one will form. In addition, the path of a tornado can also be impossible to predict. It is unlikely to move in a straight line, and will often turn quickly. A tornado might blow down a line of houses, then suddenly lift up and leave one home unhurt, then touch back down and destroy the rest of the line．
To better understand tornadoes, scientists have developed special heavy—duty vehicles and weather—Monitoring equipment that allow them to make close—up observations of these dangerous storms.
Radar equipment is put on trucks and driven near a tornado, where it records wind speeds and other weather data. 9____________
In addition, better communication and warning systems are also helping to reduce deaths and injuries in many tornado—prone areas. Radio and television warnings as well as sirens help to alert people to potential danger. Public awareness is also important．When tornadoes do occur，people must act quickly. They should move immediately to a safe place such as a basement or under a strong stairway and cover themselves with blankets or heavy coats. 10________
A. Scientists often have to drive the radar hundreds of miles to chase down a tornado—
a jo
b that can be quite dangerous!
B. These bring not only death and destruction，but also stories of strange phenomena.
C. Many more are small storms that form quickly and disappear，causing little or no
damage.
D. A tornado can arrive so unexpectedly that a matter of seconds can mean the
difference between life and death.
E. Driving the radar hundreds of miles to chase down a tornado is a best job that can be quite dangerous.
F. What makes tornadoes so dangerous is not just their great power but also their
unpredictable nature.
G. Either big storms or small ones can form quickly causing damage to some degree.

三、阅读理解
18. 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A, B, C, D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

“Just take a deep breath.” “Don’t think about it.” “You’re more likely to die in a car wreck on the way to the airport than you are in a plane crash.” These are just some words given to people with a fear of flying. But as Tom Cruise, playing Lt. Daniel Kaffee in the movie A Few Good Men, said, “I get sick when I fly because I’m afraid of crashing into a large moun tain. I don’t think Daniel will help.”
But there’s a new application that just may. Today, the VALK Foundation, a Dutch group that’s a partnership between KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and the University of Leiden, launches the app in the US. The VALK Foundation was one of the first centers for research and fear-of-flying treatment in the world and is the organizer of three world conferences on fear of flying.
The foundation said the app, called Flight App VALK, is the first scientifically-developed, web-based treatment for people who suffer from mild to moderate fear of flying.
“The fear of flying application we have created aims to transfer all of the knowledge we have developed through our program into a mobile application that will help ease travelers’ fears,” said Dr. Lucas van Gerwen, director of the VALK Foundation. Dr. van Gerwen is also a psychologist and professional pilot with more than 30 years experience.
The foundation said up to 30% of adults are fearful fliers. The Flight App is designed to help relax passengers before and during flights by educating users about flight safety and turbulence. It explains the sounds and sensations the y can expect during departure, flight and landing. And, if a passenger’s flight stress reaches a panic level, they pr ess a special panic button which provides audio and written information to help decrease stress levels. Most importantly, the Flight App can be used during the flight in the airplane mode. Once downloaded, the program does not require Internet connection in the air.
