44、ing 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 experience, we know there is actually calm before the storm. But what c

45、auses 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 singlecell thunderstorm. In this type of thunderstorm, there is usually only one main updraft, which is warm, damp air an

46、d drawn from 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

47、a storm system, 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

48、accumulate 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 ro

49、lling 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. Thats because most are actually groups of storms with complex w

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 stro

52、on stable air.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 he
