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, 1eading to record snows in the Northwest 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 weird?
7. What happened in the Northwest of the U.S. last February and March?
选项
A、It was wet and cold.
B、It was hot and dry.
C、It was cold and terrible.
D、It was hot and terrible.
答案
D
解析
新闻开头提到,美国每年都会回顾过去一年的天气,发现去年的天气十分怪异。接着具体说这一年十分炎热,并且出现很多极端天气,并导致严重的经济损失,可见天气十分糟糕。D“天气炎热且糟糕”与新闻内容相符。A和C都错在cold,新闻中的确原词这一年十分潮湿(wet),但也是炎热的。同理,B中的dry与新闻内容wet不符。
