29、 storm”, often used in a situationa quiet period just before a great activity or excitement. According to our own experience, we know there is actually calm before the storm. But what causes this calm? And is it always calm before the storm?A period of calm happens in a particular kind of storm, the

30、 simplest kind of storma single-cell thunderstorm. In this type of thunderstorm, there is usually only one main stream of current, which is warm, damp air and drawn from places near the ground. Storms need warm and damp air as fuel, so they typically draw that air in from surrounding environment. St

31、orms can draw in the air that fit their need from all directionseven from the direction in which the storm is traveling.As the warm, damp air is pulled into a storm system, it leaves a low-pressure vacuum(真空) coming after. The rising air meets the cold dry air that has already existed in the storm c

32、louds, thus the temperature of the warm, damp air drops, and the water vapor in it changes into tiny drops that are a precondition of rain. These drops accumulate and build on larger particles(颗粒) like dust, until they grow large enough to form raindrops.This warm, damp air keeps moving upwards, but

33、 it becomes cooler and drier during its trip through cloud. When it reaches the top of the cloud, the air is squeezed out at the top. This air is sent rolling out over the big thunderclouds. From there, the air goes down. Warm and dry air is relatively stable, and once it covers a region, that air,

34、in turn, causes the calm before a storm.Most thunderstorms, though, dont start with calm. Thats because most are actually groups of storms with complex wind patterns.

35、be really windy!1、Which best fits the description of a particular kind of storm?AA thunderstorm with a single shape.BA thunderstorm without strong winds.CA storm with air drawn from every direction.DA storm fueled by moving air from the ground.2、What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refe

36、r to?AWarm and wet air.BWarm and dry air.CCold and wet air.DCold and dry air.3、Which does the writer most likely agree to?APresence of the calm relies on stable air.BAll thunderstorms dont start with the calm.CThe drier the air is, the bigger the storm will be.DStorm happens without air moving up an

37、d down.4、What is the passage mainly about?AA brief introduction of a peaceful storm.BA personal experience of a heavy storm.CAn explanation of the calm before a storm.DAn analysis of causes and effects of a storm.24（8分）Even if you dont have to work, eat or sleep, you wont be able to get through all

38、infermation on blogs and social networks. The problem we face is that much of this information seems very interesting at first glance. Actually, much of the information is unimportant, disposable and it distracts（分心）us from more meaningful pursuits. Worse still, when we spend lots of time consuming

Erik Fransn, a professor in Computer Science at KTH and the leader of this new study on social

41、 media overload says this can explain why our capacity for processing information begins to fail when we attempt to stuff more information in the working memory.In fact, when you try to process the information like speech or video, you are going to need partly the same system of working memory, so y
