tornadoes damaged some small towns in the middle of the US.One of the hardest hit was Van, Texas, a town of about 2，600 people located 70 miles southeast of Dallas.Winds there reached up to 140 miles per hour and damaged about 30 percent of the area.Weather experts say it was the strongest tornado to hit the town in more than 70 years.Emergency workers in Van moved quickly to help those affected, but two people were killed and more than two dozen were injured by the tornados winds.A driver in the nearby town of Corsicana was killed by floodwaters that had risen after the storm.In Lake City, Iowa, a tornado tore the roof off South Central Calhoun High School.One hundred and fifty people had gathered in the safety of the schools basement, and all escaped without major harm.Nine people were injured in the 130mph winds of a tornado that touched down in Delmont, South Dakota, but tornadoes werent the only severe weather that state saw on Sunday.Residents in the Black Hills region were faced with a latespring snowfall of 10 to 18 inches.Scientists measure tornadoes using the Enhanced Fujita (EF) Scale.It categorizes tornadoes based on the amount of damage they cause and their estimated wind speed.EF1 tornadoes are the weakest, while EF5 tornadoes are the severest.The tornado in Van was categorized as an EF3.Although tornadoes can happen in any state, they are most common in the central US.This is why that part of the country is nicknamed (给起绰号) Tornado Alley.Though this past weekends storms were damaging, they were not abnormal for this time of year.More tornadoes hit the US.in May than in any other month, according to the National Weather Service (NWS)“Weve had at least one tornado reported somewhere in the nation every day since May 2，” weather expert Greg Carbin said.“Its a dangerous time of year.”【语篇解读】本文是说明文。龙卷风席卷了美国中部。1Which part of the US.was hit by tornadoes on Sunday?AThe central part. BThe eastern part.CThe western part. DThe southern part.答案A细节理解题。由第一段中的Sundays tornadoes damaged some small towns in the middle of the US.可知，周日美国中部受到了龙卷风的袭击。2What happened to people in South Central Calhoun High School?AThey were killed by floodwaters.BThey survived the tornado luckily.CThey were badly hurt by the storm.DThey were not influenced by the tornado.答案B推理判断题。由第三段中的One hundred and fifty people had gathered in the safety of the schools basement, and all escaped without major harm可推断学校的人因为提前躲到了地下室里而很幸运地从龙卷风中幸存下来。3Which tornadoes are the strongest?AEF1 tornadoes. BEF3 tornadoes.CEF4 tornadoes. DEF5 tornadoes.答案D细节理解题。由倒数第三段中的while EF5 tornadoes are the severest 可知。4The nickname Tornado Alley is connected with_Aa weather expertBthe areas climateCthe areas landformDthe creation of the EF Scale答案B推理判断题。由倒数第二段开头的Although tornadoes can happen in any state, they are most common in the central US.Tornado Alley可知，美国中部之所以有“龙卷风巷”的绰号是因为这一地区经常遭遇龙卷风。据此可推断，该绰号和该地的气候有关系。BAfter a confirmed rabies (狂犬病) case in Parke County, Indiana, experts are urging caution if you find a bat (蝙蝠) in your home or office.“If you try to kill a bat, youre more likely to get bitten，” said Joy OKeefe, assistant professor of biology and director of Indiana State Universitys Center for Bat Research, Outreach and Conservation.“Most bats people find in their houses are healthy and are not going to bite them and give them rabies.” But they could be a federally endangered species, such as the Indiana Bat，which is found in this area. So if you spot a bat in your home or office, dont kill it or touch it with bare hands, OKeefe said.Instead, put on a pair of heavy gloves and gently move it into a box or bucket.Once contained, the bat can be removed outside.“If its a healthy bat, itll fly away eventually，” OKeefe said.“If it doesnt move or seem to be healthy, you can take it to the health department to be tested.”This is the time of year when bats move from their summer resting sites to their winter resting sites, OKeefe said.“We get calls every year during the first month of school year from people finding bats in the universitys buildings，” said OKeefe.Bats are a great help to people, as every night they can eat up to their entire body weight of insects.Bats，however, are facing great threats from epidemics (流行性疾病), habitat destruction and other things.“The best way the average person can help bats is by understanding them and by telling other people how awesome bats are and what bats do for us，” OKeefe said.“Hopefully, it will make people think that if theres a bat in their house, they should try to get it out but not kill it.That would be really positive for batsto not have people be one of their major threats.”【语篇解读】本文是说明文。蝙蝠对人类有益，但是被蝙蝠咬伤后会使人得狂犬病，所以OKeefe建议我们在室内发现蝙蝠时，不要空手去捉它们或伤害它们，而是要戴上手套把它们移到户外。5According to the text, experts are giving the public a warning about_Athe biting by batsBthe danger of keeping batsCthe spreading of an infectious diseaseDthe extinction of an endangered species答案A细节理解题。根据第一段中的After a confirmed rabies case及第二段中的If you try to kill a bat, youre more likely to get bitten可知，因为有了被蝙蝠咬后导致人得狂犬病的案例，所以专家向公众发出了小心被蝙蝠咬的警告。6In OKeefes opinion, when you find a bat in your house, you should_Aput it on a treeBsend it to get testedCremove it with glovesDreport to the health department答案C细节理解题。根据第三段中的put on a pair of heavy gloves and gently move it into a box or bucket.Once contained, the bat can be removed outside可知，OKeefe建议大家戴上手套把蝙蝠移到户外。7We can infer that the text is probably written in_Aspring BsummerCautumn Dwinter答案C推理判断题。根据第五段中的This is the time of year when bats move from their summer resting sites to their winter resting sites及第六段中的during the first month of school year可知，蝙蝠在这个时期从它们夏天的窝迁徙到冬天的窝，再根据新学年的第一个月可推测，这篇文章写于秋季。8The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph probably means_Awhat bats like to eatBpeoples awareness of batsCthe best way to protect batsDthe greatest threat bats are facing答案B词义猜测题。根据本段内容可知，OKeefe认为保护蝙蝠最好的方法就是了解它们并且告诉他人蝙蝠有多棒，它们能为人类做很多事情。O
