In the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Of these, only about a half a dozen generate the strong, circling winds of 75 miles per hour or more that give them hurricane status, and several usually make their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people.
The great storms that hit the coast start as innocent circling disturbances hundreds—even thousands—of miles out to sea. As they travel aimlessly over water warmed by the summer sun, they are carried westward by the trade winds. When conditions are just right, warm, moist air flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, moves upward through it and comes out at the top. In the process, the moisture in this warm air produces rain, and with it the heat that is converted to energy in the form of strong winds. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to swirl in a counter-clockwise motion.
Water, not wind, is the main source of death and destruction in a hurricane. A typical hurricane brings 6- to 12-inch downpours resulting in sudden floods. Worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea—the mountains of water moving toward the low-pressure hurricane center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.
选项
A、The destructive effects of water.
B、The heat they release.
C、The powerful movement of the sea.
D、Their strong winds.
答案
A
解析
题干:飓风发生时最糟糕的是什么?根据原文“Water,not wind,is the main source of death and destruction in a hurricane.A typical hurricane brings6-to 12-inch downpours resulting in sudden floods.Worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea—the mountains of water moving toward…”,译文为:在飓风发生时导致死亡和破坏的主要原因是水,而不是风。典型的一场飓风会带来6到12英寸的倾盆大雨,这会引起洪水的发生。最糟糕的是强大的海水运动……山峰似的水流向……。所以应选a,最糟糕的是水带来的破坏性后果。
