Unit 5 Nature’s Temper 单元话题热点题型组合练 一、语法填空 阅读下面短文并填空，然后将答案写到答题卡的相应位置 (如有提示词，则填入提示词的正确形式；如无提示词；则填入1个适当的单词)。 How to Get Along with Nature’s Temper Nature is both a kind mother and a cold-blooded killer. To live in harmony with nature, we need to learn how to get along with its 1 (change) tempers. This not only keeps us safe 2 also helps us enjoy the beauty of nature. Pay attention to the weather reports from different apps. Before going out, check them to know if there will be storms, heatwaves or cold winds. If the weather is bad, the 3 (report) will advise people to be careful. I learned this lesson last year. One afternoon, I 4 (walk) home from school when it started to rain heavily. I didn’t check the weather app that morning, so I soon got completely wet. That’s why checking weather reports is so important. Respect nature’s changes and never try to fight against them. When a storm comes, stay calm and find a safe place 5 (hide) instead of running in the rain. Do not cut down trees or pollute rivers, as these actions will make nature’s temper 6 (bad). Trees can help stop strong winds and prevent floods, while clean rivers keep nature balanced. Learn from nature’s lessons. Every change of nature 7 (have) a reason, and it teaches us to be humble and brave. When we see plants standing firmly in a storm, we should learn 8 (they) courage. When we feel the gentle wind in spring, we should cherish the beauty of nature. By following these 9 (suggest), we can get along well with nature’s temper and live a happy life with nature. Remember, nature is our friend, and we should always treat it with care. Nature makes us 10 (wonder). That is why it is wonderful. 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或用所给单词的适当形式填空，使短文通顺、连贯。 Last night, a heavy snowstorm hit our town. When the snowstorm came, I 1 (watch) TV with my family.

I am in Grade 8. Last month, our English teacher asked us to do a Project called “Learn and Protect Against Natural Disasters”. Our goal was to find out useful safety tips for natural disasters and share them with our classmates to help everyone keep safe. At first, I knew little about how to protect myself during floods or storms. For the Project, I joined a group of four classmates. We searched for safety information online, read disaster safety books and even asked a rescue worker for advice. We found that staying calm and preparing emergency supplies in advance are the most important things when facing natural disasters. We also interviewed our neighbors about their experiences of dealing with small storms. Many of them told us that they used to be nervous during disasters, but now they know how to stay safe by following safety tips. We decided to make a safety video with our collected tips, like “Stay away from windows during storms” and “Prepare a first-aid kit at home”. When we showed our video to the class, our teacher and classmates praised us. She said our Project was practical and helpful. Through this Project, I learned a lot about disaster safety and realized that everyone should master basic safety skills. I hope more people can learn these tips and protect themselves and their families. 1．What was Li Ming’s Project called?

A．Natural disasters are not dangerous B．Everyone should master basic disaster safety skills C．Making a video is boring D．Emergency supplies are useless Wildfires are one of the most dangerous natural disasters in the world. They can do great harm to nature and people. They can be caused by many things, such as lightning strikes in dry forests, people’s carelessness like not putting out campfires, and hot weather that makes plants dry and easy to burn. Once a wildfire starts, it spreads very fast, burning large areas of forests, houses and crops. It can also hurt or even kill people and animals, and make the air very dirty. If you are in a forest when a wildfire starts, the most important thing is to stay calm and not panic. You should run to an open place as quickly as possible, such as a field, a road or a clearing, because there are no trees or grass to help the fire burn. You should also cover your mouth and nose with a wet cloth to stop breathing in harmful smoke. If you are at home when a wildfire comes, you should close all the doors and windows tightly to keep smoke out. You should also turn off the gas and electricity to stop fires or explosions. Firefighters and volunteers often work very hard to put out wildfires. They risk their lives to save people and protect homes. Sometimes, they make firebreaks, which are areas without trees or grass, to prevent the fire from spreading. Besides, we can also do something to stop wildfires in our daily life. We should never start fires in the forest, and we should be very careful with matches and lighters, especially in dry weather. We should also tell our friends and family about the danger of wildfires and work together to protect our environment. 1．What can cause wildfires? A．Lightning and heavy rain. B．Lightning and human carelessness. C．Heavy rain and extreme weather. D．Human carelessness and heavy snow. 2．What should you do if you are in a forest during a wildfire? A．Run to an open area. B．Stay in the forest. C．Climb a tree. D．Hide under a tree. 3．What do firefighters do to stop wildfires from spreading? A．They cut down all the trees. B．They create firebreaks. C．They pour water on the fire. D．They call for more volunteers. 4．How can we prevent wildfires? A．Start small fires in the forest. B．Collect rubbish in the forest. C．Be careful with matches and lighters. D．Plant more trees. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Causes of Wildfires B．Wildfires: Dangers and Safety C．Staying Safe During a Wildfire D．How Firefighters Stop Wildfires Nature can be both beautiful and powerful. Sometimes, it brings storms, earthquakes, or wildfires that change our lives in just a few minutes. Knowing what to do when danger comes can help keep us safe. Here are three short passages about facing the forces of nature. A: The Smart Family Last summer, the Miller family from Florida was on a camping trip near a forest. One evening, they saw smoke in the distance. Soon, the sky turned orange and they could smell burning wood. Mr. Miller remembered a useful piece of advice: “Wildfires move fast. You should leave the area right away and not wait.” The family quickly packed their things and drove to another town. Later, they learned that the fire burned a large part of the forest. Mrs. Miller said, “We almost did not make it out. Ten more minutes and we could be in real danger.” B: What to Do During an Earthquake If you are inside a building when an earthquake starts, remember three simple steps. First, drop to the ground at once so that you do not fall over. Second, take cover under a strong table or desk. If there is nothing to hide under, stay near an inside wall. Third, hold on until the shaking stops. Do not run outside while the ground is moving because things may fall and hurt you. After the shaking stops, leave the building quickly and go to an open area away from trees and power lines. C: A Village That Worked Together In 2023, a small village in northern India faced a terrible flood. The river near the village rose quickly after days of heavy rain. The village leader, an old man named Ram, used a loud bell to warn everyone. Young people helped carry children and old neighbours to higher ground. They also shared food and clothes with families who lost their homes. One teenager said, “We did not have much, but we had each other.” After the flood, they worked together to clean up the village and rebuild their homes. 1．What does the underlined word “it” in Passage A mean? A．The forest fire. B．The camping trip. C．The dangerous situation. 2．According to Passage B, what should you do when the ground is still shaking? A．Run outside to an open area. B．Stay under a strong table and hold on. C．Stand near a window to see what is happening. 3．How did Ram warn the villagers about the flood in Passage C? A．He called everyone on the phone. B．He used a loud bell to let people know. C．He ran from house to house and shouted. 4．What do the three passages tell us about facing natural disasters? A．Only young people can help during a disaster. B．The best way is to leave as quickly as you can. C．Knowing what to do and helping each other can save lives. 5．Emma lives by a river. Heavy rain is coming. What should she do first? A．Wait at home. B．Watch the water rise. C．Pack things and move to higher ground. In October 2025, Hurricane (飓风) Melissa hit the Caribbean (加勒比地区), becoming one of the strongest hurricanes in history. It caused serious harm across several countries. Melissa first arrived in Jamaica with heavy rain and strong winds. At that time, the wind speed (速度) reached about 295 km/h. The heavy rain soon caused landslides and floods. About 25,000 people suffered from the disaster. More than 70% of Jamaica experienced power failure. Later, Melissa hit Cuba. Over 100,000 people there were stranded (被困住) by rising rivers. After Melissa left Cuba, it swept over the Bahamas, causing floods on some islands. According to research, several things caused such a terrible hurricane. The temperature was the first one. In fact, the temperature of the sea surface plays an important role in the formation of hurricanes. During that time, the sea surface temperature in that area was nearly 30°C． Winds “helped” as well. If winds change greatly at different heights, they can “cut off” a hurricane. However, the winds didn’t change much as Melissa developed. Besides, a good outflow (外流) of air at the top level of the weather system also played a part. Sadly, human activities are driving climate change, and this change was one of the reasons behind the bad weather. Many researchers have found the connection between such bad weather and climate change: Warmer seawater creates more energy, which allows for stronger hurricanes. “Human-caused climate change made Hurricane Melissa even worse and more harmful,” said a climate scientist. So, there is no time to lose. We must take action now to bring nature back into balance. 1．How did Hurricane Melissa move? A．Jamaica → the Bahamas → Cuba B．Jamaica → Cuba → the Bahamas C．Cuba → the Bahamas → Jamaica D．Cuba → Jamaica → the Bahamas 2．Which question does paragraph 2 answer? A．What did people think of the hurricane? B．When did the hurricane reach the Caribbean? C．Why did the hurricane change after it landed? D．How did the hurricane harm those countries? 3．Why didn’t the winds “cut off” Hurricane Melissa? A．Because the wind speeds were too high. B．Because the outflow of air wasn’t good. C．Because the winds changed little with height. D．Because the sea surface temperature wasn’t high. 4．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A．What made Melissa so powerful. B．What a hurricane looks like inside. C．What the hurricane formation process is. D．Why climate change influenced Melissa. 5．Which might be the writer’s opinion? A．Humans should act on climate change right now. B．These countries didn’t deal with Melissa very well. C．Climate change has little to do with awful storms. D．Only the people of Jamaica needed others’ help. Last year, my father was busy working, my mother looked after my grandma and my sister started university, so I went to visit my aunt and uncle in Jamaica (牙买加) alone. There I experienced a hurricane (飓风). I went to Jamaica in December, because between October and mid-December the weather isn’t too hot. However, there are hurricanes during the time. Luckily,my aunt and uncle heard the warning (警示) on the radio before I arrived, so there was already lots of food and drink in their house. I was happy about that,because one of my favorite things about being in Jamaica is the food! As the hurricane came, we closed the doors, and then we waited. It was a little boring at first. But when the wind crashed (猛撞) around the house day and night, I began to feel afraid. As we waited, we listened to the news on the radio. There was lots of water on the roads and on farms, and some trees and houses fell down. We stayed at home from Monday morning to Wednesday evening. Finally the hurricane moved out to sea and then the sun came out again! 1．The writer’s sister didn’t go to Jamaica because she . A．was busy working B．went to university C．was afraid of hurricanes 2．Why did the writer go to Jamaica in December? A．Because the weather wasn’t too hot. B．Because there was lots of food and drink in the house. C．Because there was a hurricane. 3．How did the writer feel at first when the hurricane came? A．Bored. B．Afraid. C．Relaxed. 4．What’s the best title for the passage?

Knowing how to protect ourselves is very important for everyone. Last week, a heavy storm hit our town. The sky turned dark 1 . Strong winds blew hard and heavy rain fell quickly. Some trees broke down and the roads became wet. Many people felt worried and they didn’t know what to do. When the storm came, my parents told me to stay 2 all the time. We closed all windows and never went outside. My father asked us not to use electrical things, 3 lightning was dangerous. He also told me that we should keep calm instead of being afraid. After several hours, the rain stopped. However, some streets were covered with water. Some houses were damaged. Lots of rubbish 4 everywhere. People walked slowly and carefully to keep safe. Later, volunteers came to offer help. They worked together to 5 fallen trees and clean streets. Some doctors checked people’s health. Everyone tried their best to help 6 . It let me feel the warmth during difficult times. In fact, we cannot stop natural disasters, but we can get 7 for them. We should learn some common safety rules. For example, when an earthquake happens, we must hide under desks and 8 our heads. If flooding comes, move to 9 places as soon as possible. Disasters are terrible, but courage and knowledge can help us go through difficulties. We should remember safety comes 10 in our life. 1．A．quietly B．slowly C．clearly D．suddenly 2．A．abroad B．indoors C．outdoors D．nearby 3．A．so B．but C．because D．though 4．A．is B．was C．are D．were 5．A．move B．burn C．throw D．dig 6．A．another B．other C．others D．the other 7．A．ready B．busy C．thankful D．worried 8．A．watch B．cover C．shake D．touch 9．A．lower B．higher C．wider D．colder 10．A．last B．second C．earliest D．first 【答案】 1．D 2．B 3．C 4．B 5．A 6．C 7．A 8．B 9．B 10．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一次暴风雨袭击小镇时作者一家的应对经历以及灾后互助的场景，最后强调学习安全知识和保持冷静的重要性，提醒人们安全第一。 1．句意：天空突然变得黑暗。 前文提到“a heavy storm hit our town”，暴风雨是突然发生的，因此天空应是“突然”变暗。quietly安静地，slowly缓慢地，clearly清晰地，都不符合暴风雨突然来袭的语境。故填suddenly。 2．句意：暴风雨来临时，父母告诉我一直待在室内。 根据安全常识，暴风雨时应待在室内，避免外出。因此indoors在室内，正确。outdoors户外，危险，abroad国外，nearby附近，均不相关。故填indoors。 3．句意：父亲让我们不要使用电器，因为闪电很危险。 “不使用电器”的原因是“闪电危险”，前后为因果关系。用because引导原因状语从句。so表结果，but表转折，though表让步，均不符合。故填because。 4．句意：到处都是垃圾。 主语“lots of rubbish”中，中心词“rubbish”为不可数名词，因此谓语动词应用单数形式。描述过去的情况，时态为一般过去时，故用“was”。虽然“lots of”表示“许多”，但英语语法规定不可数名词始终视为单数。故填was。 5．句意：他们一起移走倒下的树并清理街道。 志愿者清理灾后现场，需要“移走”倒下的树木。“move”意为“移动、搬走”；burn燃烧，throw扔，dig挖，均不符合清理倒树的合理动作。故填move。 6．句意：每个人都尽力帮助其他人。 “help others”是固定短语，意为“帮助他人”，其中others泛指其他的人。another指另一个，other后需接名词，the other指两者中的另一个。故填others。 7．句意：我们无法阻止自然灾害，但可以为它们做准备。 固定搭配“get ready for”意为“为……做准备”。busy忙碌，thankful感激，worried担心，不能与“get...for”构成有意义的短语。故填ready。 8．句意：当地震发生时，我们必须躲在桌子下并保护头部。 地震时保护头部的典型动作是cover，遮盖、护住。watch看，shake摇晃，touch触摸，均无法表达保护之意。故填cover。 9．句意：如果发生洪水，尽快转移到更高的地方。 洪水逃生应前往地势“更高”的地方。lower更低，危险；wider更宽，colder更冷，不相关。故填higher。 10．句意：我们应该记住，安全在生活中是第一位的。 强调安全的重要性，常用“safety comes first”，安全第一。last最后，second第二，earliest最早，均不符合语境。故填first。 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳答案。 Last summer, I went on a trip to the countryside. One day, the weather suddenly changed. The sky turned dark and the wind began to blow 1 . Soon, a heavy rainstorm hit. We were trapped in a small cabin. I felt a little 2 at first, but then I calmed down. During the storm, we saw lightning and heard thunder. The thunder was so loud that it made the windows 3 . After the storm, we went outside. The trees were damaged, and some leaves were 4 everywhere. We helped to clean up the area. We also planted some new trees. This experience made me realize the 5 of protecting nature. We should not cut down too many trees. We should try our best to 6 the environment. When we protect nature, we are also protecting 7 .

I am in Grade 8. Last month, our English teacher asked us to do a Project called “Learn and Protect Against Natural Disasters”. Our goal was to find out useful safety tips for natural disasters and share them with our classmates to help everyone keep safe. At first, I knew little about how to protect myself during floods or storms. For the Project, I joined a group of four classmates. We searched for safety information online, read disaster safety books and even asked a rescue worker for advice. We found that staying calm and preparing emergency supplies in advance are the most important things when facing natural disasters. We also interviewed our neighbors about their experiences of dealing with small storms. Many of them told us that they used to be nervous during disasters, but now they know how to stay safe by following safety tips. We decided to make a safety video with our collected tips, like “Stay away from windows during storms” and “Prepare a first-aid kit at home”. When we showed our video to the class, our teacher and classmates praised us. She said our Project was practical and helpful. Through this Project, I learned a lot about disaster safety and realized that everyone should master basic safety skills. I hope more people can learn these tips and protect themselves and their families. 1．What was Li Ming’s Project called?

They can do great harm to nature and people. They can be caused by many things, such as lightning strikes in dry forests, people’s carelessness like not putting out campfires, and hot weather that makes plants dry and easy to burn. Once a wildfire starts, it spreads very fast, burning large areas of forests, houses and crops. It can also hurt or even kill people and animals, and make the air very dirty. If you are in a forest when a wildfire starts, the most important thing is to stay calm and not panic. You should run to an open place as quickly as possible, such as a field, a road or a clearing, because there are no trees or grass to help the fire burn. You should also cover your mouth and nose with a wet cloth to stop breathing in harmful smoke. If you are at home when a wildfire comes, you should close all the doors and windows tightly to keep smoke out. You should also turn off the gas and electricity to stop fires or explosions. Firefighters and volunteers often work very hard to put out wildfires. They risk their lives to save people and protect homes. Sometimes, they make firebreaks, which are areas without trees or grass, to prevent the fire from spreading. Besides, we can also do something to stop wildfires in our daily life. We should never start fires in the forest, and we should be very careful with matches and lighters, especially in dry weather. We should also tell our friends and family about the danger of wildfires and work together to protect our environment. 1．What can cause wildfires? A．Lightning and heavy rain. B．Lightning and human carelessness. C．Heavy rain and extreme weather. D．Human carelessness and heavy snow. 2．What should you do if you are in a forest during a wildfire? A．Run to an open area. B．Stay in the forest. C．Climb a tree. D．Hide under a tree. 3．What do firefighters do to stop wildfires from spreading? A．They cut down all the trees. B．They create firebreaks. C．They pour water on the fire. D．They call for more volunteers. 4．How can we prevent wildfires? A．Start small fires in the forest. B．Collect rubbish in the forest. C．Be careful with matches and lighters. D．Plant more trees. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Causes of Wildfires B．Wildfires: Dangers and Safety C．Staying Safe During a Wildfire D．How Firefighters Stop Wildfires 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了野火这一危险的自然灾害，包括其成因、危害，以及在不同场景（森林、家中）下的应对措施，还提及了消防员的工作和日常生活中预防野火的方法。 1．根据第一段“They can be caused by many things, such as lightning strikes in dry forests, people’s carelessness like not putting out campfires, and hot weather that makes plants dry and easy to burn.”可知，野火的成因包括雷击、人为疏忽（如未熄灭营火）以及炎热天气。 2．根据第二段“If you are in a forest when a wildfire starts, the most important thing is to stay calm and not panic. You should run to an open place as quickly as possible, such as a field, a road or a clearing, because there are no trees or grass to help the fire burn.”可知，在森林中遭遇野火时，应尽快跑到开阔地带。 3．根据第四段“Sometimes, they make firebreaks, which are areas without trees or grass, to prevent the fire from spreading.”可知，消防员会开辟防火道（无树木或草的区域）来阻止火势蔓延。 4．根据最后一段“We should never start fires in the forest, and we should be very careful with matches and lighters, especially in dry weather.”可知，预防野火的方法包括在森林中不生火、小心使用火柴和打火机。 5．文章不仅介绍了野火的成因，还重点讲述了野火的危害、不同场景下的应对措施、消防员的工作以及日常预防方法。 Nature can be both beautiful and powerful. Sometimes, it brings storms, earthquakes, or wildfires that change our lives in just a few minutes. Knowing what to do when danger comes can help keep us safe. Here are three short passages about facing the forces of nature. A: The Smart Family Last summer, the Miller family from Florida was on a camping trip near a forest. One evening, they saw smoke in the distance. Soon, the sky turned orange and they could smell burning wood. Mr. Miller remembered a useful piece of advice: “Wildfires move fast. You should leave the area right away and not wait.” The family quickly packed their things and drove to another town. Later, they learned that the fire burned a large part of the forest. Mrs. Miller said, “We almost did not make it out. Ten more minutes and we could be in real danger.” B: What to Do During an Earthquake If you are inside a building when an earthquake starts, remember three simple steps. First, drop to the ground at once so that you do not fall over. Second, take cover under a strong table or desk. If there is nothing to hide under, stay near an inside wall. Third, hold on until the shaking stops. Do not run outside while the ground is moving because things may fall and hurt you. After the shaking stops, leave the building quickly and go to an open area away from trees and power lines. C: A Village That Worked Together In 2023, a small village in northern India faced a terrible flood. The river near the village rose quickly after days of heavy rain. The village leader, an old man named Ram, used a loud bell to warn everyone. Young people helped carry children and old neighbours to higher ground. They also shared food and clothes with families who lost their homes. One teenager said, “We did not have much, but we had each other.” After the flood, they worked together to clean up the village and rebuild their homes. 1．What does the underlined word “it” in Passage A mean? A．The forest fire. B．The camping trip. C．The dangerous situation. 2．According to Passage B, what should you do when the ground is still shaking? A．Run outside to an open area. B．Stay under a strong table and hold on. C．Stand near a window to see what is happening. 3．How did Ram warn the villagers about the flood in Passage C? A．He called everyone on the phone. B．He used a loud bell to let people know. C．He ran from house to house and shouted. 4．What do the three passages tell us about facing natural disasters? A．Only young people can help during a disaster. B．The best way is to leave as quickly as you can. C．Knowing what to do and helping each other can save lives. 5．Emma lives by a river. Heavy rain is coming. What should she do first? A．Wait at home. B．Watch the water rise. C．Pack things and move to higher ground. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文由三个短篇故事组成，分别介绍了野火、地震和洪水三种自然灾害中的应对方法，强调了提前知晓应对措施和互帮互助在灾难中的重要性。 1．Passage A可得出结论，原文提到“Later, they learned that the fire burned a large part of the forest. Mrs. Miller said, ‘We almost did not make it out. Ten more minutes and we could be in real danger.’”。“make it out”是固定习语，意为“成功脱离险境”，其中“it”是形式宾语，指代危险的处境（The dangerous situation）。 2．Passage B可得出结论，原文提到“First, drop to the ground at once... Second, take cover under a strong table or desk... Third, hold on until the shaking stops. Do not run outside while the ground is moving...”，说明地面还在晃动时，应躲在坚固的桌子下并保持不动。 3．Passage C可得出结论，原文提到“The village leader, an old man named Ram, used a loud bell to warn everyone.”，说明Ram是用响亮的铃铛来警告村民的。 4．全文可得出结论，Passage A讲述了及时撤离野火区域的重要性，Passage B介绍了地震中的正确避险步骤，Passage C讲述了村民在洪水中互帮互助的故事，共同说明知晓应对方法和互相帮助可以挽救生命。 5．结合Passage C和常识可得出结论，Emma住在河边，暴雨即将来临可能引发洪水，最应该先收拾物品并转移到高处，避免被洪水围困。 In October 2025, Hurricane (飓风) Melissa hit the Caribbean (加勒比地区), becoming one of the strongest hurricanes in history. It caused serious harm across several countries. Melissa first arrived in Jamaica with heavy rain and strong winds. At that time, the wind speed (速度) reached about 295 km/h. The heavy rain soon caused landslides and floods. About 25,000 people suffered from the disaster. More than 70% of Jamaica experienced power failure. Later, Melissa hit Cuba. Over 100,000 people there were stranded (被困住) by rising rivers. After Melissa left Cuba, it swept over the Bahamas, causing floods on some islands. According to research, several things caused such a terrible hurricane. The temperature was the first one. In fact, the temperature of the sea surface plays an important role in the formation of hurricanes. During that time, the sea surface temperature in that area was nearly 30°C． Winds “helped” as well. If winds change greatly at different heights, they can “cut off” a hurricane. However, the winds didn’t change much as Melissa developed. Besides, a good outflow (外流) of air at the top level of the weather system also played a part. Sadly, human activities are driving climate change, and this change was one of the reasons behind the bad weather. Many researchers have found the connection between such bad weather and climate change: Warmer seawater creates more energy, which allows for stronger hurricanes. “Human-caused climate change made Hurricane Melissa even worse and more harmful,” said a climate scientist. So, there is no time to lose. We must take action now to bring nature back into balance. 1．How did Hurricane Melissa move? A．Jamaica → the Bahamas → Cuba B．Jamaica → Cuba → the Bahamas C．Cuba → the Bahamas → Jamaica D．Cuba → Jamaica → the Bahamas 2．Which question does paragraph 2 answer?

Later, Melissa hit Cuba... After Melissa left Cuba, it swept over the Bahamas”，可知飓风的移动顺序是：牙买加（Jamaica）→古巴（Cuba）→巴哈马（the Bahamas）。 2．第二段主要描述了飓风“梅利莎”在牙买加、古巴、巴哈马造成的具体破坏（如暴雨、山体滑坡、洪水、停电、人员被困等），对应选项D“飓风给这些国家带来了怎样的伤害？”。 3．根据第三段中“If winds change greatly at different heights, they can ‘cut off’ a hurricane. However, the winds didn’t change much as Melissa developed”，可知飓风发展过程中，风在不同高度变化不大，因此无法切断飓风。 4．第三段首句“According to research, several things caused such a terrible hurricane”为段落主旨句，介绍了导致飓风“梅利莎”如此强大的几个因素（海面温度、风的变化、高层空气外流），对应选项A“是什么让‘梅利莎’如此强大”。 5．根据最后一段中“So, there is no time to lose. We must take action now to bring nature back into balance”，可知作者呼吁人们立刻采取行动应对气候变化。 Last year, my father was busy working, my mother looked after my grandma and my sister started university, so I went to visit my aunt and uncle in Jamaica (牙买加) alone. There I experienced a hurricane (飓风). I went to Jamaica in December, because between October and mid-December the weather isn’t too hot. However, there are hurricanes during the time. Luckily,my aunt and uncle heard the warning (警示) on the radio before I arrived, so there was already lots of food and drink in their house. I was happy about that,because one of my favorite things about being in Jamaica is the food! As the hurricane came, we closed the doors, and then we waited. It was a little boring at first. But when the wind crashed (猛撞) around the house day and night, I began to feel afraid. As we waited, we listened to the news on the radio. There was lots of water on the roads and on farms, and some trees and houses fell down. We stayed at home from Monday morning to Wednesday evening.
