We are talking about hurricanes, because that is what forecasters at Colorado State University are talking about. Every year, they make predictions about the Atlantic hurricane season. It starts on June 1st and lasts through the end of November, although storms can form outside that season as well. This year, the Colorado State forecasters say we’re in for a less active season. They’re predicting 10 named storms. They think only four of those will become hurricanes. A couple of things to keep in mind here, though. One, these forecasts aren’t perfect. Last year, Colorado State predicted 16 named storms. We had 19. Two, even if just one storm makes landfall, it can still cause serious consequences. Forecasters say it’s important to prepare the same for every hurricane season.
Questions 1 and 2 will be based on the following news item.
1. When does the hurricane usually happen?
2. According to the news, which of the following statement is true?
选项 A、These forecasts are perfect.
B、Last year, Colorado State predicted 19 named storms.
C、One landfall cannot cause serious consequences.
D、It’s important to prepare the same for every hurricane season.
答案 D
解析 推理题。eyshlisteninga中说到，首先，这些预测并不精确。去年，科罗拉多州预测了16个命名的风暴。而事实上有19个。其次，即使只有一次风暴登陆，它还是会引起严重的后果。天气预报员称，对于每一个飓风季节的准备都同样重要。故选D。
