A

Every year the start of the Atlantic hurricane season is another reminder for Margarite August that she still doesn’t have a roof.

The 70-year-old retired teacher’s home on the small Caribbean island nation of Dominica was mostly wiped out by hurricane Maria six years ago.

Six years after hurricane Maria,Dominicans like Margarite August still haven’t been able to rehabilitate their homes.

August is not alone.Since Maria,the government of Dominica has built 7,000 new homes—about a quarter of its housing stock—with materials to fight another Category 5 hurricane.They’ve also relocated two communities.But an untold number of the island’s 70,000 or so residents are like August,rebuilding their homes in any way they can afford.

Hurricane Maria is often referred to as a once-in-a-lifetime disaster.Scientists put much of the blame on warming ocean temperatures that could make frequent(频繁) storms like it.

Maria damaged a terrible 95% of Dominica’s housing stock and 226% of the nation’s GDP.Before the storm,the country’s economy had long struggled since its independence from Great Britain in 1978.Unlike its more famous touristy neighbors along the chain of eastern Caribbean islands it lies on,Dominica is more known for its rugged mountains and jungles(丛林) than white sandy beaches.

The jungle mountains that crash down to the coast are beautiful but disasters visit easily.“I don’t think anybody ever got over Maria,” says Christine John of the Dominica Red Cross.“There are a lot of persons today—if it just starts to rain outside,they get anxious.”

1.What does the underlined word “rehabilitate” in paragraph 3 mean?

A.Rebuild.　　 B.Leave.

C.Decorate. D.Buy.

2.What is the main cause of frequent extreme storms according to scientists?

A.Over-farming.

B.Loss of the land.
