The wide category 1 storm was directly over the the wealthy territory at 6 a.m. Saturday, with maximum sustained winds of 85 mph (140 kph). The U.S. National Hurricane Center warned of strong winds, a dangerous storm surge and significant coastal flooding. It said some 6 to 9 inches (150-225 centimeters) of rain was expected to fall on Bermuda. "This rainfall will likely result in considerable life-threatening flash flooding, especially in low-lying areas on the island," it said. Due to the large size of the storm and its slow movement, hurricane-strength winds are expected to continue until Saturday afternoon, with tropical storm-strength winds continuing well into Sunday, the Bermuda government said. Ernesto is moving toward the north-northeast at around 9 mph (15 kph). The NHC reported life-threatening surf and rip currents on the east coast of the United States and said they would reach Canada during the course of the day. Ernesto is forecast to be near or east of Newfoundland by Monday night. Bermuda power utility BELCO said that as of late Friday, power was out to 31% of its customers. It described itself as being in "an active state of crisis." "Our crews are no longer out in the field working as it is no longer safe for them. They will now rest until it is deemed safe for them to begin restoration efforts," BELCO added. In preparation for the storm, officials in the wealthy British territory had suspended public transportation and closed the airport on Friday night. "Hurricane Ernesto seriously threatens our community," National Security Minister Michael Weeks said. "This is not a storm to be taken lightly." Bermuda is an archipelago of 181 tiny islands whose total land mass is roughly the size of Manhattan. According to AccuWeather, it's uncommon for the eye of a hurricane to make landfall in Bermuda. It noted that, before today, since 1850 only 11 of 130 tropical storms that came within 100 miles (160 kilometers) of Bermuda had landfall. The island is a renowned offshore financial center with sturdy construction, and given its elevation, storm surge is not as problematic as it is with low-lying islands. Ernesto previously battered the northeast Caribbean, where it left hundreds of thousands of people without power or water in Puerto Rico after swiping past the U.S. territory as a tropical storm. More than 180,000 out of nearly 1.5 million clients were still without power more than two days after the storm. Another 170,000 were without water as the National Weather Service issued yet another severe heat advisory, warning of "dangerously hot and humid conditions." "It's not easy," said Andrés Cabrera, 60, who lives in the north coastal city of Carolina and had no water or power. Like many on the island, he could not afford a generator or solar panels. Cabrera said he was relying for relief only "on the wind that comes in from the street." Officials said they hoped to restore power to 90% of nearly 1.5 million customers in Puerto Rico by Sunday, but have not said when they expect power to be fully restored. Of 152 locations of critical infrastructure without electricity that are being prioritized, 36 now have power, said Juan Saca, president of Luma Energy, a private company that operates the transmission and distribution of power on the island. In the neighboring U.S. Virgin Islands, crews also were working to restore power, with 80% of customers back online. Ernesto is the fifth named storm and the third hurricane of this year's Atlantic hurricane season. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has predicted an above-average Atlantic hurricane season this year because of record warm ocean temperatures. It forecast 17 to 25 named storms, with four to seven major hurricanes. 【原创·阅读理解】 1.What was the maximum sustained wind speed of Hurricane Ernesto when it made landfall in Bermuda?

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】distribution 【详解】考查名词。句意：必须找到一个更好的办法来实现资源的平均分配。分析句子结构可知，空前是形容词equal，所以空处应填名词，distribute的名词形式是distribution意为“分配”。故填distribution。 6．Thomas Edison had done thousands of (experiment) before he invented the bulb. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】experiments 【详解】考查名词的数。句意：托马斯·爱迪生在发明灯泡之前做了成千上万次实验。根据上文thousands of可知应用复数形式。故填experiments。 7．These occupied (territory) belong to our country and we are sure to get them back. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】territories 【详解】考查名词。句意：这些被占领的领土属于我们的国家，我们一定要把它们夺回来。此处应填名词作主语，territory是可数名词，前有“these”修饰，则需要变复数，故填territories。 8．The death toll caused by Hurricane Ida continues (mount). （所给词的适当形式填空） 【答案】to mount 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：飓风“艾达”造成的死亡人数继续攀升。短语continue to do sth.表示“继续做某事”。故填to mount。 9． average, the volunteers estimated(估计) they spent about six hours a day using their phones.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】forecast 【详解】考查过去分词。句意：尽管预报称天气很好，但次日上午仍然阴雨绵绵。动词forecast和the good weather之间是被动关系，应用过去分词，表示被动，故填forecast。 12．Coral reefs (find) in the tropical areas of the world, but they can also exist in colder water. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】are found 【详解】考查时态语态。句意：珊瑚礁在世界的热带地区被发现，但它们也可以存在于较冷的水域。分析句子结构可知，该空是句子谓语。结合句意和can可知，本句讲的是一般事实，故句子用一般现在时，主语Coral reefs是复数，且与find(发现)是被动关系，故用一般现在时的被动语态。故答案为are found。 【参考译文】 飓风Ernesto登陆百慕大 周六早些时候，飓风埃内斯托在英国大西洋的百慕大群岛登陆，当地居民纷纷蹲下。 周六早上6点，这场1级风暴直接席卷了这个富裕的地区，最大持续风速为每小时85英里（140公里）。美国国家飓风中心警告称，将有强风、危险的风暴潮和严重的沿海洪水。 据报道，百慕大预计将有约6至9英寸（150-225厘米）的降雨。“这场降雨可能会导致相当大的危及生命的山洪暴发，特别是在岛上的低洼地区，”它说。 百慕大政府表示，由于风暴规模大，移动缓慢，飓风强度的风预计将持续到周六下午，热带风暴强度的风将持续到周日。埃内斯托正以约9英里/小时（15公里/小时）的速度向东北偏北方向移动。 国家飓风中心报告称，美国东海岸有危及生命的海浪和激流，并表示它们将在当天到达加拿大。预计埃内斯托将于周一晚上在纽芬兰附近或以东。 百慕大电力公司BELCO表示，截至周五晚些时候，31%的客户断电。它称自己处于“积极的危机状态” BELCO补充道：“我们的工作人员不再在现场工作，因为那里对他们来说不再安全。他们现在将休息，直到他们认为可以安全地开始修复工作。”。 为了应对这场风暴，英国富裕领土的官员周五晚上暂停了公共交通并关闭了机场。 国家安全部长迈克尔·威克斯说：“飓风埃内斯托严重威胁着我们的社区。”。“这不是一场可以掉以轻心的风暴。” 百慕大是一个由181个小岛组成的群岛，其总陆地面积大约相当于曼哈顿。 据AccuWeather称，飓风眼在百慕大登陆的情况并不常见。它指出，在今天之前，自1850年以来，在距离百慕大100英里（160公里）以内的130场热带风暴中，只有11场登陆。 该岛是一个著名的离岸金融中心，建筑坚固，鉴于其海拔，风暴潮不像低洼岛屿那样成问题。 埃内斯托此前袭击了加勒比海东北部，在那里，它以热带风暴的形式掠过美国领土，导致波多黎各数十万人断电断水。 风暴过后两天多，近150万客户中仍有18万以上断电。另外17万人没有水，因为国家气象局发布了另一个严重的高温警告，警告“危险的高温和潮湿条件” “这并不容易，”60岁的安德烈斯·卡布雷拉（Andrés Cabrera）说，他住在北海岸城市卡罗来纳州，没有水也没有电。 和岛上的许多人一样，他买不起发电机或太阳能电池板。卡布雷拉说，他只依靠“从街上吹来的风”来获得救济 官员们表示，他们希望在周日之前为波多黎各近150万客户中的90%恢复供电，但尚未表示他们预计何时完全恢复供电。 Luma Energy总裁Juan Saca表示，在152个没有电力的关键基础设施地点中，36个现在有电力供应。Luma Energy是一家在岛上运营电力传输和分配的私营公司。 在邻近的美属维尔京群岛，工作人员也在努力恢复电力，80%的客户重新上线。 埃内斯托是今年大西洋飓风季的第五场命名风暴和第三场飓风。 美国国家海洋和大气管理局预测，由于创纪录的温暖海洋温度，今年的大西洋飓风季节将高于平均水平。它预测了17到25场命名风暴，以及4到7场大型飓风。 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
