[1]Last night, eight million people in 16 U.S. states were under a flood warning.
It was what remained of a heavy storm system that struck in late December, stretching from New Mexico to Michigan and going its way east.
It brought several powerful tornadoes to Texas, destroying homes and buildings near Dallas.
Hailstorms, snowstorms, hundreds of flight cancellations hit the central part of the country and [2]dozens of people died in the severe conditions brought by the system.
For some, the worst of it came well after the storm hit, as flood waters flowed in the rivers, they covered their banks and spilled through communities.
The Mississippi flooded parts of Illinois and its swollen water slowly spread out along the Mississippi southern part.
It’s not expected to reach its highest point in Memphis, Tennessee, until January 9th.
1. What’s the news report mainly about?
2. What do we learn about the storm system from the news report?
选项
A、It came in early December.
B、It ended in Michigan.
C、It destroyed buildings near Memphis.
D、It caused dozens of deaths.
答案
D
解析
新闻中提到,数十人死于这场暴雨带来的恶劣条件中(dozens of people died),故D正确。A“起于十二月初”与新闻说的“十二月末”(late December)不符。B“终止于密歇根州”,新闻是说该暴雨从新墨西哥到密歇根再一路向东(stretching from New Mexico to Michigan and going its way east),所以并非在密歇根州结束。C错在Memphis,新闻提到暴雨带来的龙卷风催毁建筑是在达拉斯(Dallas)附近,而不是孟菲斯(Memphis)附近。
