A thunderstorm begins when warm, wet air rises quickly into the cold upper sky. As the air cools down, water drops gather together to form clouds. Inside the clouds, ice pieces rub against each other and build up electric charges. When the charges become too strong, lightning flashes, and the rapid heating of air around lightning creates thunder. Most thunderstorms only last 30 to 45 minutes, but strong ones can turn into severe storms that bring heavy rain, strong winds and even hail. Every year, thunderstorms cause billions of dollars in damage around the world. They can knock down power lines, flood low-lying streets and damage farm crops. However, thunderstorms are not all bad. The heavy rainfall they bring supplies fresh water to lakes, rivers and farmlands, especially in dry inland areas. Lightning also helps fix nitrogen in the soil, which works as a natural fertilizer for plants. For teenagers, learning thunderstorm safety rules is necessary. If you are outdoors during a thunderstorm, never stand under tall trees or metal fences. Do not swim in open water because water easily carries electricity. When staying indoors, avoid touching wired electronic products like desktop computers and wired telephones. Many students make the mistake of opening windows to watch lightning; strong wind and flying broken things may hurt them. Scientists use weather satellites and radar machines to watch thunderstorms these days. They can send warnings 1 to 3 hours before a bad thunderstorm arrives, giving people time to get ready. As we study forces of nature more deeply, we can reduce harm and make good use of natural events. 85．What is the first step of thunderstorm formation? A．Ice pieces rub inside clouds. B．Warm wet air rises rapidly upwards. C．Lightning produces loud thunder. D．Water drops fall down as rain. 86．What good influence do thunderstorms have? A．They cut down human daily costs. B．They produce natural fertilizer for soil. C．They clear waste water in cities. D．They cool down seawater in summer. 87．Which action is safe during a thunderstorm? A．Standing under a big oak tree. B．Making calls with a wireless mobile phone indoors. C．Swimming in the community outdoor pool. D．Standing beside open bedroom windows. 88．How do scientists predict thunderstorms in advance? A．By watching cloud changes with telescopes. B．By checking daily temperature records. C．By using satellites and radar equipment. D．By collecting reports from local villagers. 89．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The formation, effects and safety knowledge of thunderstorms. B．Different kinds of natural disasters and their damage. C．Ways for scientists to study all forces of nature. D．Daily bad weather and its influence on students. 【答案】85．B 86．B 87．B 88．C 89．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述雷暴的形成过程、利弊影响、雷雨安全注意事项以及科学家监测预警雷暴的方式。 【详解】85．原文第一段：A thunderstorm begins when warm, wet air rises quickly into the cold upper sky. 句中begins对应the first step，说明雷暴形成的第一步是温暖潮湿的空气快速上升。 86．原文第二段：Lightning also helps fix nitrogen in the soil, which works as a natural fertilizer for plants. 这句话表明闪电可为土壤制造天然肥料，是雷暴带来的益处。答案选B。 87．原文第三段：户外不能站树下、不能露天游泳；室内不要触碰有线电器、不要开窗看闪电。无线手机不连接有线线路，在室内使用是安全行为。答案选B。 88．原文第四段：Scientists use weather satellites and radar machines to watch thunderstorms these days. 说明科学家依靠卫星和雷达设备提前监测、预判雷暴。答案选C。 89．文章依次介绍雷暴形成、雷暴的好坏影响、雷雨安全准则、科学家监测雷暴，整体围绕雷暴的形成、影响与安全知识展开。答案选A。 18 / 18 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 第09讲 Unit 5 Nature’s Temper 核心语法精练（过去进行时） 内容导航 01 预习航标→ 析目标·明方向：预习导航精准定向 02 教材全解 → 析教材·学新知：情境概念深度构 考点精讲：聚焦常考要点，讲清逻辑 例题精析：典型题目带路，学会解题思路 即练固基：趁热打铁练一练，巩固刚学内容 03过关检测 → 练考点·强落实：过关检测分层提 关键词 学习目标导航 学习目标 过去进行时 学习重点 运用本单元语法完成相应单元学习任务 过去进行时 构成 was/were+ doing 含义 表示过去某一时刻或某一时间段正在进行的动作 标志词 at that time, at this time yesterday, at 8:00 yesterday morning, all night 及when/while 用 法 区 别 When ①既指时间点，也可指时间段；后可接终止性动词，也可接延续性动词 ②从句的动作和主句的动作可以是同时，也可以是先后发生 ③when 后一般接过去式：When the teacher came in, we were talking. ④表“突然”：I was having my dinner when there was a sudden knock at the door.

Every year, thunderstorms cause billions of dollars in damage around the world. They can knock down power lines, flood low-lying streets and damage farm crops. However, thunderstorms are not all bad. The heavy rainfall they bring supplies fresh water to lakes, rivers and farmlands, especially in dry inland areas. Lightning also helps fix nitrogen in the soil, which works as a natural fertilizer for plants. For teenagers, learning thunderstorm safety rules is necessary. If you are outdoors during a thunderstorm, never stand under tall trees or metal fences. Do not swim in open water because water easily carries electricity. When staying indoors, avoid touching wired electronic products like desktop computers and wired telephones. Many students make the mistake of opening windows to watch lightning; strong wind and flying broken things may hurt them. Scientists use weather satellites and radar machines to watch thunderstorms these days. They can send warnings 1 to 3 hours before a bad thunderstorm arrives, giving people time to get ready. As we study forces of nature more deeply, we can reduce harm and make good use of natural events. 85．What is the first step of thunderstorm formation? A．Ice pieces rub inside clouds.
