At the end of every year, U.S. weather researchers look back at what the nation’s weather was like, and what they saw last year was weird. The year was hot and annoyed by all manner of extreme weather events that did a lot of expensive damage.
December, in fact, was a fitting end.
"This is the first time in our 121-year period of record that a month has been both the wettest and the warmest month on record," says Jake Crouch, a weather researcher. The rest of the year was very wet and hot too, he says—the second-hottest period on record for the U.S.
The cause: a warming climate and a super strong El Nino. El Nino is a weather phenomenon out of the ocean that hits every few years and affects weather globally.
Together, climate and a very strong El Nino pushed the weather in the U.S. as warm as its 20th century average.
And even when the atmosphere is only that much warmer, it holds more moisture, leading to record snows in the Northeast last February and March, and record rain in the South and Midwest.
5. What was weather in the U.S. like last year?
6. What made last year’s weather so wired?
7. What happened in the Northwest of the U.S. last February and March?
选项
A、There was record-breaking snowfall.
B、There was recording-breaking rainfall.
C、It were the warmest months ever recorded.
D、It were the wettest months ever recorded.
答案
A
解析
新闻后段提到,美国天气不仅温和,而且湿度较大,导致美国东北部在去年二、三月出现纪录性降雪(record snows),故答案为A。B说的“记录性降雨”是发生在美国南部和中西部(South and Midwest)。C和D只是利用新闻末尾中的much warmer和more moisture作干扰,都没有实质根据。
