What is a hurricane?

You may already know that hurricanes are storms that can cause devastating (毀滅性的) waves, wind, and rain. They happen during “Hurricane Season,” which is from June 1st until November 30th in the Atlantic Ocean and from May 15th until November 30th in the Pacific Ocean.

Types of Hurricanes

There are five types of hurricanes, which are based on wind speeds. The categories help people know how much damage a hurricane may cause because the greater the wind speed, the more dangerous the storm. For example, a Category 5 hurricane has winds over 155 miles per hour, which are strong enough to destroy the buildings along the shorelines completely.

Hurricane Dangers

When a hurricane happens together with heavy rainfall, there can be a devastating flood. The centre of a hurricane is called the eye. While most of a hurricane has dangerously strong winds, the eye is actually a calm area in the storm. When the eye of a hurricane passes over land, people might think that it’s over, but before long the wind and rain increase again as the second part of the hurricane moves through.

Hurricane Safety Tips

There is no way to stop a hurricane or make it change direction, so if you ever find yourself in the path of a hurricane, be sure to remember the following safety tips.

Be sure you have a radio, batteries, fresh drinking water, and enough food.

Tell neighbours, friends, and family members your emergency plans. Tell them where you’ll go if you need to leave your home.

If you live near the ocean, leave your home and travel to a safe place. You could stay with a friend or a family member, in a hotel／motel, or in an emergency shelter area.

Stay inside during the storm. You could be seriously injured if you go outside.

【解析】這篇短文給我們解釋了什么是颶風、颶風的種類、危害以及發(fā)生颶風的時候我們應該怎么辦。

【1】根據短文第一段中They happen during “Hurricane Season,” which is from June 1st until November 30th in the Atlantic Ocean and from May 15th until November 30th in the Pacific Ocean.可知，颶風季的時間是從6月1日到11月30日，持續(xù)六個月。last是動詞，持續(xù)一段時間，這里用現(xiàn)在分詞形式，在句中做狀語。

【2】根據短文第一段中You may already know that hurricanes are storms that can cause devastating (毀滅性的) waves, wind, and rain.可知颶風導致的后果有毀滅性的風浪、大風和大雨。原文的cause是導致…結果，這里的result是名詞，結果，后果的意思，應填復數(shù)形式。

【3】根據短文第二段中There are five types of hurricanes, which are based on wind speeds.可知，颶風根據其風速可以分成五種類型。這里考查短語be divided into被分成…。故填divided。

【4】根據短文第二段中For example, a Category 5 hurricane has winds over 155 miles per hour, which are strong enough to destroy the buildings along the shorelines completely.可知，這里應填buildings建筑物，用復數(shù)形式，因為空前有all。

【5】根據文意可知，這一段講述的都是颶風的危險，故應填dangers，文章中敘述了很多颶風帶來的危險，所以應填復數(shù)形式Dangers。

【6】根據短文第三段中When a hurricane happens together with heavy rainfall, there can be a devastating flood可知，颶風往往伴隨大雨發(fā)生，所以會導致洪水。這里lead to是固定短語，導致…，空前may是情態(tài)動詞，因此這里填動詞原形。

【7】根據短文第三段中he centre of a hurricane is called the eye.可知，颶風的風眼就是颶風的中心。這個空前是定冠詞the，空后是名詞part，這個空應填形容詞central是centre的形容詞形式，中心的。

【8】根據短文的最后一部分Hurricane Safety Tips中There is no way to stop a hurricane or make it change direction可知，我們無法阻止颶風或者是改變它的方向。原文的no way就是不可能，這里使用的句型是It is +形容詞+to do sth.，因此這里應填impossible。

【9】根據短文的最后一部分Hurricane Safety Tips中if you ever find yourself in the path of a hurricane, be sure to remember the following safety tips.可知，如果你處在了颶風行走的路線上，你一定要遵守這些建議。原文使用的是形容詞following以下的。這里是句型remember to do sth.記得去做某事，follow是動詞，遵守的意思。

【10】根據短文的最后一句話Stay inside during the storm. You could be seriously injured if you go outside可知，在發(fā)生颶風的時候，待在室內，否則會受傷。or或者otherwise都是否則的意思，符合文意。
