第四部分 阅读理解(共20小题-每小题2分，满分40分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

A

Many people like the feeling of the gentle wind in spring. Many like to see the falling leaves dancing in the wind autumn. But sometimes, when the wind becomes a storm, it can be very destructive (破坏性的).

A series of such storms struck the US last month and caused serious damage and human pain.

Every year, major storms cause many problems around the world. There is nothing people can do to stop these powerful forces of nature. But new techniques are helping scientists to predict (预知)how, when, and where big storms will happen: The more exact scientists' warnings are, the better people can prepare for the storms.

Predictions are improving. "We've gotten better over the years, especially the last few years," says Phil Klotzbach, a scientist at an American university. How is a storm formed? Even if scientists know where a storm will happen, winds can suddenly change, carrying the storm to a new direction. "For a hurricane to happen, conditions have to be just right," Klotzbach says.

First, the 0eean water needs to be warm enough so that it evaporates and rises into the air. As it rises, the vapor (水蒸气) cools and turns back into liquid. This process gives off heat. This produces energy like an engine that causes winds to increase. It drives the formation of a hurricane.

If wind speeds reach 40 miles per hour, the system is called a "tropical storm", and it gets a name. At 75 miles per hour, it becomes a hurricane.

Hurricanes that hit the US star~ when a thunderstorm f6rms off the coast of Africa. Storms also develop over tropical waters in other parts of the world.

On average, 60 or 70 storms form off Africa every year. About 10 of them get names. There are usually about six hurricanes. Two tend to be very big, with winds of 115 miles per hour or higher.
