35、tball game, when suddenly you notice that everything goes quiet? There is an old phrase “calm before the 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

36、calm? And is it always calm before the storm? Lets hear what scientists have to say.A period of calm happens in a particular kind of storm, the simplest kind of storma singlecell thunderstorm. In this type of thunderstorm, there is usually only one main updraft, which is warm, damp air and drawn fro

37、m places near the ground. Storms need warm and damp air as fuel, so they typically draw that air in from surrounding environment. Storms 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 sys

38、tem, it leaves a lowpressure vacuum(真空) coming after. The rising air meets the cold dry air that has already existed in the storm clouds, thus the temperature of the warm, damp air drops, and the water vapour(水蒸汽) in it changes into tiny drops that are a precondition of rain. These drops accumulate

39、and build on larger particles like dust, until they grow large enough to form raindrops.This warm, damp air keeps moving upwards, but it becomes cooler and drier during its trip through cloud. When it reaches the top of the cloud, the air gets spit out(被挤出) at the top. This air is sent rolling out o

40、ver the big thunderclouds. From there, the air goes down. Warm and dry air is relatively stable, and once it covers a region, that air, 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 pattern

41、s. Theres so much air moving up and down storm groups that the calm before the storm never happens. Instead, before the storm, it might be really windy!1、Which best fits the description of a particular kind of storm?AA storm with air drawn from every direction.BA thunderstorm without strong winds.CA

42、 thunderstorm with a single shape.DA storm fueled by moving air from the ground.2、What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?ACold and dry air.BWarm and damp air.CCold and damp air.DWarm and dry air.3、Which does the writer most likely agree to?APresence of the calm relies on stable a

43、ir.BStorm happens without air moving up and down.CThe drier the air is, the bigger the storm will be.DNot all thunderstorms start with the calm.4、What is the passage mainly about?ACauses and effects of a heavy storm.BAn explanation of the calm before a storm.CA personal experience of a heavy storm.D

46、gerly accept，then youd fit right in with Western Australias 26,000 emergency service volunteers. The emergency services arent the only industry benefiting from volunteers.
