Ball is a researcher from the United States Geological Survey, the agency which studies the country's land and natural resources.She was at “fissure 8”， one of at least 22 holes that have opened around the Kilauea Volcano in the past two months. Rock from deep inside the volcano is so hot that it has become a liquid.The liquid, known as lava, began flowing from the openings in early May.At “fissure 8”， the lava shot up as high as 45 meters in the air before slowly heading for the Pacific Ocean a few kilometers away. Scientists have been in the area of the volcanic activity measuring the eruptions 24 hours a day, seven days a week since Kilauea first erupted.The severe heat will melt (熔化) any non-natural clothing materials, so the team members can only wear heavy cotton.Gloves protect their hands from sharp volcanic rock and glass.Head coverings protect against falling lava stones, and breathing devices protect against gases coming from the openings. Kilauea has been erupting almost without stopping since 1983.It is one of the world's most closely observed volcanoes.Most of these observations took place at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory on Kilauea's highest point, from which researchers have now had to escape.But the latest eruption is the biggest and could provide scientists with a lot of new information. Ball says they want to learn what warning signs may exist for future eruptions to better protect Hawaii's communities. Hundreds of small earthquakes caused by the eruptions have damaged the structure of the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.So scientists pulled equipment and records out of the building and moved them to the University of Hawaii at Hilo. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇新闻报道。最近，夏威夷的一座火山爆发了，科学家们日夜奋战，穿着厚厚的防护服在距离火山尽可能近的地方观察并收集信息。 2 3 1 4 1．Why do scientists wear heavy cotton clothes while observing the volcano? A．They can bear severe heat. B．They are natural and healthy. C．They are comfortable to wear. D．They can stop poisonous gases. 答案：A 细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“The severe heat will melt any non-natural clothing materials, so the team members can only wear heavy cotton.”可知，火山爆发产生的高温能熔化任何非天然的衣物材料，所以科学家们只能穿着厚重、能抵御高温的棉质衣物。故选A。 2 3 1 4 2．What is special about the latest eruption? A．It lasts long. B．It has wide influence. C．It is closely observed. D．It offers much information. 答案：D 2 3 1 4 细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句“But the latest eruption is the biggest and could provide scientists with a lot of new information.”可知，最近一次喷发的特殊之处在于规模大，能为科学家提供很多信息，故选D。 2 3 1 4 3．What is Ball's purpose in gathering useful information? A．To prevent eruptions. B．To predict eruptions. C．To find the cause of eruptions. D．To measure the power of eruptions. 答案：B 2 3 1 4 细节理解题。根据第六段“Ball says they want to learn what warning signs may exist for future eruptions to better protect Hawaii's communities.”可知，Ball希望对未来可能发生的火山爆发进行预测，故选B。 2 3 1 4 4．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．The Hawaii Volcano Has Been Erupting B．The Greatest Eruption Appears in Hawaii C．Scientists Risk Heat and Gases to Study a Volcano D．A Rare Chance to Observe Volcano Eruptions 答案：C 2 3 1 4 标题归纳题。根据全文内容可知，本文开篇点题，指出Jessica Ball在观察夏威夷的一座正在喷发的火山，下文围绕这一话题展开，说明Jessica Ball和其他科学家冒着高温、落石和有毒气体的危险，日夜不停地在离火山很近的地方收集信息，以期待能更好地保护居民，C项“科学家冒着高温和气体的危险研究火山”为最佳标题，故选C。 2 3 1 4 B Dry lightning (雷电) can still be harmful even when conditions aren't so dry, said a study published in Geophysical Research Letters last month.Dry lightning during little to no rainfall was previously thought to cause wildfire danger only with less than 2.5 mm of rain in a day.A Washington State University-led study of wildfires in the US West found dry lightning caused wildfires despite up to 7.7 mm of rain. “The rainfall amounts we recorded should help provide a better understanding of just how much rain can cause a fire risk，” said Dmitri Kalashnikov, lead author of the study. The researchers analyzed (分析) cases on more than 4，600 naturally caused fires from 2015 to 2020.They matched 3，726 of those to the lightning strikes that likely started them with the help of National Lightning Detection Network. The study found that 15.3% of those were holdover fires which burn without smoke, bringing about over a hundred fires each year.Analyzing the rainfall amounts around the time of the lightning strikes showed greater rainfall than previously thought among the earlier found fires ranging from 1.7 mm to 4.6 mm. While humans still cause most fires either by accident or on purpose, lightning-caused wildfires burn the most areas.Nearly 70% of the wildfire-burned land in the West was from lightning-caused fires according to the study.For example, the largest wildfire burn area in California history took place in August 2020 after dry lightning caused many wildfires at once. Dry lightning can also start wildfires in places that are hard for firefighters to reach.This study found the places where holdover fires happened repeatedly were in the forested mountains of the Southwest as well as the middle and southern Rocky Mountains.Holdover fires cause the problem because they are so hard to notice. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了干闪电的危害。 5 6 7 8 5．The new study found dry lightning can still cause wildfires with a daily rainfall of ． A．7.7 mm　　　　　　　 B．8.0 mm C．9.4 mm D．10.2 mm A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A Washington State University-led study of wildfires in the US West found dry lightning caused wildfires despite up to 7.7 mm of rain.”可知，华盛顿州立大学的研究表明，日降雨量达到7.7毫米的情况下，干闪电仍会引发野火。故选A。 5 6 7 8 6．What is the third paragraph mainly about? A．The finding of the research. B．The number of the cases. C.The process of the study. D．The designers of the test. 答案：C 5 6 7 8 段落大意题。第三段主要介绍了此次研究的过程。故选C。 5 6 7 8 7．Why did holdover fires happen repeatedly in the forested mountains? A．They are difficult to notice. B．The fire service is short-handed. C．Campers often smoke there. D．The locals fail to call firefighters. 答案：A 5 6 7 8 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Holdover fires cause the problem because they are so hard to notice.”可知，滞留火灾不易被人察觉，因此反复在树木丛生的山区爆发。故选A。 5 6 7 8 8．From which is the text probably taken? A．A history textbook. B．A science magazine. C．A course plan. D．A book review. 答案：B 5 6 7 8 文章出处题。根据全文可知，本文主要介绍一项最新研究的发现——日降雨量达到7.7毫米的情况下干闪电仍会引发野火，这是和科学相关的话题，由此可推知，本文可能出自一本科学杂志。故选B。 5 6 7 8 $$
