44、ou ever spent an afternoon in the backyard，maybe grilling or enjoying a basketball 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 experi

45、ence, we know there is actually calm before the storm. But what causes this 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 single-cell thunderstorm. In this type of thunderstorm,

49、 cloud, the air gets spit out（被挤出）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, in turn, causes the calm before a storm.Most thunderstorms, though, dont start with calm

50、. Thats because most are actually groups of storms with complex wind patterns. Theres so much air moving up and down storm groups that the calm before the storm never happens. Instead, before the storm,让 might be really windy!1、Which best fits the description of a particular kind of storm?AA thunder

51、storm with a single shape.BA thunderstorm without strong winds.CA storm with air drawn from every directi on.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 dry air.CCold and damp air.DWarm and damp air.3、Which do

52、es the writer most likely agree to?APresence of the calm relies on stable air.BNot all thunderstorms start with the calm.CThe drier the air is, the bigger the storm will be.DStorm happens without air moving up and down.4、What is the passage mainly about?ACauses and effects of a heavy storm.BA brief
