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.

Categories(類別)of Hurricanes

There are five categories of hurrlcanes, which are based on wind speeds. The categories help people know how much damage(危害)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．

【解析】

【1】lasts考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題。句意：颶風(fēng)季節(jié)通常在大西洋持續(xù)大約六個(gè)月，在太平洋區(qū)域是6個(gè)月半。根據(jù)第一段第二句 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.結(jié)合句意可知填lasts持續(xù)。

【2】results考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題。句意：毀滅性的巨浪，大風(fēng)和大雨是颶風(fēng)所帶來的結(jié)果。根據(jù)短文第一句話“You may already know that hurricanes are storms that can cause devastating(毀滅性的)waves，wind，and rain．（颶風(fēng)會(huì)引起毀滅性的巨浪，大風(fēng)和大雨是颶風(fēng)所帶來的結(jié)果）�！笨芍�，兩者是因果關(guān)系，毀滅性的巨浪，大風(fēng)和大雨是颶風(fēng)所帶來的結(jié)果。故填results。

【3】divided考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題。句意：根據(jù)風(fēng)速，颶風(fēng)被科學(xué)家分成5個(gè)種類。根據(jù)句意及第二段第一句There are five categories of hurrlcanes, which are based on wind speeds.，可知填divide的被動(dòng)式，divided。

【4】buildings考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題。句意：第五種颶風(fēng)類型足夠可以摧毀海岸線的所有建筑。根據(jù)第二段第三句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．可知填buildings。

【5】Dangers考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題。句意：颶風(fēng)所帶來的危害。根據(jù)該空右邊表格里的內(nèi)容，可知這是在講述颶風(fēng)所帶來的危害。Danger，名詞，危害；這里講述的不是一種危害，故用danger的復(fù)數(shù)形式，在詞尾加s。

【6】flood考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題。句意：當(dāng)颶風(fēng)伴隨著暴雨來臨時(shí)，一場(chǎng)可怕的洪水就有可能會(huì)發(fā)生。Flood，名詞，洪水。根據(jù)第三段第一句When a hurricane happens together with heavy rainfall，there can be a devastating flood．可知填flood。

【7】centre／center考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題。句意：風(fēng)眼是颶風(fēng)的中心。當(dāng)風(fēng)眼過后不就，風(fēng)和雨就會(huì)再次加重。根據(jù)第三段第二句The centre of a hurricane is called the eye．可知填centre／center，名詞，中心。

【8】impossible考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題。句意：阻止颶風(fēng)或者改變方向是不可能的。根據(jù)Hurricane Safety Tips（颶風(fēng)安全小貼士）一欄，“There is no way to stop a hurricane or make it change direction（沒有什么方式能夠阻止颶風(fēng)或者改變方向）。”可知，本處需要填一個(gè)否定詞，impossible，形容詞，不可能的，符合題意。

【9】forget考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題。句意：如果你發(fā)覺你要遇上颶風(fēng)時(shí)，不要忘記這些安全建議。 Forget，動(dòng)詞，忘記。根據(jù)Hurricane Safety Tips（颶風(fēng)安全小貼士）一欄，第一句 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．可知填 forget。

【10】or／otherwise考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題。句意：當(dāng)暴風(fēng)雨來臨時(shí)，待在室內(nèi)，否則你將會(huì)受重傷的。根據(jù)最后一句Stay inside during the storm．You could be seriously injured(受傷)if you go outside．結(jié)合句意可知要填一個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)折詞，or／otherwise，否則，正符合題意。
