11、 were in danger. “There was an explosion in the left engine which I could see from my seat,” he recalled. “The next thing I knew the plane went dead silent when both engines broke down. I got a quick glance at Tess seated ahead of me when we both realized we were in trouble.”The next three minutes w

17、e, when suddenly you notice that everything goes quiet? There is an old phrase “calm before the storm”, often used in a situation-a quiet period just before a great activity or excitement. According to our own experience, we know there is actually calm before the storm. But what causes this calm? An

18、d is it always calm before the storm? A period of calm happens in a particular kind of storm, the simplest kind of storm-a single-cell thunderstorm. In this type of thunderstorm, there is usually only one main stream of current, which is warm, damp air and drawn from places near the ground. Storms n

19、eed warm and damp air as fuel, so they typically draw that air in from surrounding environment. Storms can draw in the air that fit their need from all directionseven from the direction in which the storm is traveling.As the warm, damp air is pulled into a storm system, it leaves a low-pressure vacu

20、um(真空) coming after. The rising air meets the cold dry air that has already existed in the storm clouds, thus the temperature of the warm, damp air drops, and the water vapor in it changes into tiny drops that are a precondition of rain. These drops accumulate and build on larger particles(顆粒) like

21、dust, until they grow large enough to form raindrops.This warm, damp air keeps moving upwards, but it becomes cooler and drier during its trip through cloud. When it reaches the top of the cloud, the air is squeezed out at the top. This air is sent rolling out over the big thunderclouds. From there,

22、 the air goes down. Warm and dry air is relatively stable, and once it covers a region, that air, in turn, causes the calm before a storm.Most thunderstorms, though, dont start with calm. Thats because most are actually groups of storms with complex wind patterns. Theres so much air moving up and do

23、wn storm groups that the calm before the storm never happens. Instead, before the storm, it might be really windy!28. Which best fits the description of a particular kind of storm?A.A thunderstorm with a single shape. B.A thunderstorm without strong winds.C.A storm with air drawn from every directio

24、n. D.A storm fueled by moving air from the ground.29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Warm and wet air. B. Warm and dry air.C. Cold and wet air. D. Cold and dry air.30. Which does the writer most likely agree to?A. Presence of the calm relies on stable air. B. All thund

25、erstorms dont start with the calm.C. The drier the air is, the bigger the storm will be. D. Storm happens without air moving up and down.31. What is the passage mainly about?A. A brief introduction of a peaceful storm. B. A personal experience of a heavy storm.C. An explanation of the calm before a

26、storm. D. An analysis of causes and effects of a storm.DAs the international demand for narrative(敘事的) film/TV content continues to increase with popular streaming services like Netflix and others the two questions then come: will the coming generations receive most of their entertainment through vi

27、sual means rather than through the written word and will such an increase of narrative film/ TV reduce the importance of reading?Growing examples of this trend include the diminishment(減少) of fiction in the common core (核心的)curriculum, the everrising culture of computer games, the wave of streaming

28、services of wide international reach, and movies filled with special effects made for children and teenagers. Nor must we ignore the economic dangers that lie ahead for the written word. The narrative film industry is a moneymaker that dwarfs(使相形見絀) the publishing industry.The other underlying quest

29、ion, of course, is “does it really matter if the written word bows to the world of film/TV?” From my point of view, any diminishment of fiction delivered by words is a loss for mankind. There is no greater human feature than the imagination. It lies at the very soul of the human species. It is the b

30、rains most powerful engine. It is the essential muscle of life and like all muscles it must be exercised and strengthened.Writing and reading are the principal tools that inspire, create and empower our imagination. Anything that diminishes that power is the enemy of mankind. It should be known that I am not opposed to new media and technological advances. Instead, I have always felt it necessary to adapt to advancing technology. In fact, a number of my novels are in various stages of development for film, TV, and live stage prod
